:picard: but good for you.

I did three light sets of 5 on low-bar and almost passed out. :wow: Have the same workout on Saturday. :damn:

Train only singles, doubles, and light triples for 5 months and wonder where your rep endurance went, brehs. :mjlol:


And this clean eating has drained my chakra. Imma need some pizza and the Panda (Desiigner) tomorrow. :ahh:

(from T Nation, so take that as you will):
Different muscle groups have different functional characteristics and tend to have varying fiber-type ratios. The soleus (part of the calf) for example, is a slow-twitch (type I) dominant muscle while the triceps tend to be fast-twitch dominant (type II).

Slow-twitch muscle fibers recover more quickly, both within a workout and from session to session, than their fast-twitch counterparts. Consequently, training muscles that are predominantly slow twitch more frequently makes sense.

In general, the classification of muscle fiber-type ratios are:

  • Hamstrings: Mixed, 44-54% type I
  • Quads: Mixed, 44-64% type I
  • Glutes: Mixed with a tendency towards slow twitch, 52-60% type I
  • Chest: Fast twitch, approximately 60% type II
  • Calves: Slow. Gastrocnemius roughly 44-76% type I. Soleus in the range of 70-96% type I.
  • Spinal Erectors: Slow, 63-73% type I
  • Traps: Mixed
  • Shoulders: Mixed fiber distribution with a slight type I dominance
  • Triceps: Type II
  • Lats: Greater proportion of type II
  • Biceps: Tendency towards fast twitch dominant, approximately 40% type I


So biceps can be hit 4 times a week and triceps can be hit 3 times a week. Unless you're doing an upper/lower 6x a week or have 3 arm days, I'd prolly shave that twice each and eat the L.

I like using heavier/lower-rep compounds at the beginning of a session (weighted chins, close-grip bench, etc.) and finishing off with lighter, higher-rep isolation movements.

Still waiting for a definitive empirical answer to this question. :jbhmm:


Also growth and "that cut look" have nothing to do with each other. :francis:
