    @Gh_q02 تمرين مثل kickbacks ممكن يعطيك EMG عالي بسبب وضعية الحركة والانقباض الاخير، لكن skull crushers بالدامبل او بار راح يكون افضل للتراي لأنه يحطها تحت توتر ميكانيكي أعلى مع مقاومة حقيقية على مدى الحركة الكامل وهذي دراسة ضد ال EMG https://t.co/BPbd2QTJXx.

    @StrengthDebates Research generally doesn't support that hypothesis. If there is a preferential influence of load on fiber type, which remains equivocal, the magnitude of effect likely would be small. https://t.co/aYGUzDUWyK https://t.co/e17WEVyljs

    @Alan_Couzens @Fit_For_Golf @BradSchoenfeld When you allow people to work to fatigue, the fibre recruitment is the same regardless of load: https://t.co/t9asyxzjxR We've shown that TUT and volume modulate this response, but it's not a load-dependent outcome: https://t.co/v5sUoS1m0U https://t.co/67MgRBkv7s

    So, this figure is w...wr...wro...wrong! The 'sweet spot for hypertrophy is across the whole repetition continuum and strength at lower loads is largely due to practice! All fibres active when fatigue is achieved, see https://t.co/87JgqCM6FW https://t.co/Ft3XHfF6f0

    @BradSchoenfeld @NachikethShetty Try lifting a lighter load with more reps - it's just as 'intense' when you get close to fatigue. Plus, MU recruitment the same https://t.co/87JgqCM6FW so all muscle fibres active - entirely consistent with the size principle; see: https://t.co/JqR04nmIxt via @JR_Potvin

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study finds that muscle fibre activation during resistance exercise performed to failure is similar regardless of load (heavy or light) and repetition duration, indicating both loads activate type II muscle fibres effectively.
  • Surface electromyography (EMG) measures do not directly correlate with muscle fibre glycogen depletion or anabolic signaling during exercise, suggesting EMG may not fully reflect muscle activation or growth processes.
  • Engaging in resistance exercise to task failure consistently activates type II fibres, challenging the idea that heavier loads are necessary for hypertrophy and highlighting the importance of reaching fatigue to fully recruit muscle fibers.]
