    Fast / Slow twitch muscle fibres

    Should there be different training methods for fast twitch muscle fibers to slow?

    Also how do you find out the difference from slow to fast?

    yes one u use high rep, lighter weight training
    the other use use low rep, heavy weights

    i dont think u can find the difference unless u go to some sports labratory or instutite where they have technoligy to test this

    there are general rep ranges which "maximize" those muscle fibers

    4-6 white twitch

    12-15- red fast twitch

    20-25-red slow twitch
