Hello,
Currently, I am training at the gym 3-4 times a week. My training consists of approx 4-5 exercises (3 sets for each with the rep range of 6-8). I am researching into muscle fibers to assist me with sprinting. A trainer at my gym believes that training in the 1-4 rep range will change my 50/50 balance to a balance that favours my fast twitch fibers. I can understand that using high weights and lower reps will give me higher strength and more explosive speed whilst sprinting but will it give me more fast twitch fibers?
Will training 1-4 reps increase my strength?
Will it increase my size? (I am not looking to gain size)
Will training in this rep range increase my overall speed?
Thanx
