a little aggravated......

[MR-FQ320]

composition of his muscle fiber can be completely different than yours. if you are like me, you may have predominanlty type 1 (slow twitch) muscle fiber. excellent for running a marathon, not so excellent for max strength.

I might be going off topic here but which type of training would aggravate muscle growth more for both muscle fibre types, ie slow twitch = mass or volume?

slow twitch functions best in an aerobic environment. repetitive motions, lower weights, higher reps, over longer periods of time. but to a certain extent, you can "recondition" a muscle fiber type by hitting it with heavy weights and low reps. ultimately, you cannot change a muscle fiber type, but you can train it to have the characteristics of another fiber type.

those born with predominantly type 2 fast twitch muscle fiber are naturally stronger than those that do not. however, they usually struggle with any endurance type activity, such as distance running.
