Reply With Quotenot really.. Number of muscle fibers always stays the size. The number of Fast Twitch vs Slow Twitch fibers stay the same. But the ratio between Type II and IIa fibers can be changed. Muscle structure cant be changed.
a powerlifting routine will build more on strength than size. Try one out. Powerlifiting Section.

Muscle Structure
Is there anyway to get like the muscle fibers in your arms closer together so your arms will be small but you will be strong at the same time?

That's conjecture, I believe.But the ratio between Type II and IIa fibers can be changed."in the howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is...

also i do believe you can grow new muscle fibers, while the accuall fibers expand during growth new fibers also can be formed. mostly tho the fibers simply expand.

New muscle cell creation is called hyperplasia, and that doesn't occur past puberty unless replacing a dead cell, or using growth hormone.

Right now nothing is proven, but there are some experts in the field that DO believe that some hyperplasia is taking place in humans. Some feel that satellite cells are quite possibly forming into new muscle cells on the own as well. Originally Posted by Mudge

Well, it is quite possible that in her mind IT IS FACT. If she feels the evidence is compelling enough she might honestly believe that its true. Originally Posted by kicka19

Yes it would be. Some believe that severe stretching can actually facilitate this process (as I believe this was proven in a few animal studies). Originally Posted by P-funk
