You better go back and look at what henneman actually said. This has been the most misinterpreted piece of information in all of exercise science. Slow fibers do not get recruited first . They are recruited last , and that's because after about 8 reps the fast twitch fibers are out of gas. They are unable to contract once fatigued . The heavier the weight the more fibers are recruited . And the fast twitch fibers are fatigued first leaving only slow twitch fibers after that point . Read what he actually said . The scale in which henneman describes the fiber recruitment along the lines of how much nerve stimulus it takes to cause the contraction . So when he says fired first , he's referring to lower nervous impulse per fiber. That's not saying that slow twitch are first recruited during a heavy lift then fast . Because nerve impulse does not go up and then down in range . Additionally rate coding takes place . Where in fibers are fired in sequence to achieve endurance such as in the legs. So the whole thing is horribly misinterpreted to push a point of view that does not hold up , quite often .

When performed correctly, for the correct duration (time matched, not work matched) slow reps are at least equally effective, but allow for better control and focus on contraction of the target muscles, and reduce risk of injury, and cause less irritation to existing injuries or joint conditions. kzbin.infoLUD_Eq6qhVM

So, basically Mike Mentzerwas right.

Note this research was done on untrained individuals. Experienced lifters can recruit significantly more muscle fibers without reaching failure.

I've always speculated about the rectus femoris lengthening. Ultimately though because I'm not a giga-chad that can squat 200kg my reasoning was deemed invalid. Always hated how that works.

Leg extension + scissy squats superset 🔥

How significant of a role would rear delts have in cable pullovers relative to close/wide vertical/horizontal pulls? Do they somewhat mimic a fly?

How can you expect anyone to their daily protein in if you can only digest 20g at a time? Thats 10 meals a day. How long do you wait in between meals in order to be able to digest 20 more grams? I never bought into that bro fact.

7.7 years of training and still locking out on the legpress. I pray for those knees..

Maybe the reason it helps build muscle is bc it makes you feel good and when something feels good you tend to do it frequently. It makes you consistent.

Sample of n=23? Gtfoh

By far, the most important factor is your diet.

People giving Sam Sulek shit for his partials at the end of each set will be hiding their heads in shame.

When you are on a very busy routine, HIT is gold. But, I'd say it requires a lot more discipline to work it "right" than regular 3 sets/exercise. Thanks for the video!

did they eat the same tho ?

👏👏👏

I love how you treat science with respect, warning about generalization concerns, not telling anyone to just do the lengthened exercises that you are going to have wonderful results. Best of luck!!

If you do set to fail and you need more than 72 hours recovery, you need to see a doctor.....

0:23 oke.... I'm a biologist with specialties in physiology and toxicology and that is complete and utter BS

Volume load is everything on this, and yes, I watched the video. But what this is saying... you do more, you get more growth!!! OMG. Big Surprise.

Any updates or new studies here?

It's just Hypertrophy.

So those students have unbalenced muscles now? 😅

Need liftrunbang in these comments lmao

NONSENS VIDEO!

Maxing out each workout is only effective for beginners. Once you plateau on all your lifts, you've reached intermediate status and need to switch to a block periodization program.

This study was only on the calf muscle though...you can't just generalize it to every muscle group. Sample size was also too small.

Wonderful! Thanks for teaching us

Sample size of 22 is weak, but interesting study. Thanks for sharing!

tbh it really depends how you feel post workout, for me some days it's different, if I think I need a rest, I'll rest, other days I feel fresher

Another great video.

What if the amount of cardio is required varying different body types could affect the performance of strength gains in a good way? 🧐

Jesus was born a Jew, lived his whole life as a Jew & died as a Jew in Israel ! The Romans executed him BECAUSE he was a Jew & yet there are still Christians who are anti Semitic ? Go figure.

20mins cardio+1hr resistance training Thats my regime right now

Yeah, because gymnasts are skinny aren't they...

I HATE it when he goes on about something and just when you think aha thats the correct way to gain muscle but then he says "however".Annoying as.

I always mix reps like crazy. In a single set i'll do ful rep, half rep, I'll hold a rep halfway then slowly finish it if it's body weight I'll move side to side and do uneven reps.

Great videos!! Can you do a video like this for Ab / core exercises?

İ did not understand please someons tell me in summary

Staff at front desk: “sir, this is good advice. You still need your Membership card to get in”

whats with the blatent copy of the style of Kurzgesagt's videos? how hilariously unoriginal.

I have a theory. Other than neuromuscular adaptations, I believe that if we do less our brain may get triggered as we don't need endurance but only strength. As type 2 muscles aligns with it, it is strong but for short amount of time. But if we train to failure our brain may be triggered as we need more endurance and not much strength so it may target type 1. What do you think?

Thumbnail go vroom

just think about tom plats on the machine, he had the best quads by far, he always leaned back almost.

Now the question in my mind is the following: Does this produce more muscular hypertrophy in comparison to doing only lengthened partials? Keep in mind , when doing ONLY lengthened partials, you could put more tension on the muscle by moving more weight as the fatigue onset would be slower, thus allowing you to do heavier sets. I would really love to see some comparison between the studies. If anyone has info, please drop it by !

(In perspective of hypertrophy) I think the study should have checked the path of the negative phase (excentric) not the positive one.... Recent studies shows negative phase are more important for hypertrophy at certain muscles like biceps.

*Take a shot every time you hear “meta-analysis”*

am i missing somthing when you add the test only and the weights only and then say its the same thats not correct as the two studys you added together would be double the time training compared to weights + test be like adding weights + test 2x

I can confirm that! My chest and biceps are now 43% bigger. I went to do legs session too and now my chest and biceps is 86% bigger.
