You'll see the sub classifications of Type II. Type IIc is there along with TypeIIa/b.

Like I told TOM, most people in the field only recognize the Type I and Type II A and B fibers types, but that there are many that also will speak about other slightly varied types that lie along the continuum. There are some fiber types that actually hold dual characteristics, and can be converted depending on what training demands the body is forced to undergo on a daily basis.

You can classify them up to like 6 subtypes, there is just no point in doing so.

These "Anti-Ironman" posts are getting annoying as hell.... I don't know the dude but he must know SOMETHING or else I doubt Robert D. would give him such respect on his board. Grow up people.

There are 7 recognized subtypes of fibers: I, IC, IIC, IIAC, IIA, IIAB, and IIB. However, in reality there is a continuum of fiber types ranging from slow twitch to fast twitch, and only scientists get the detailed with the subdivisions.
