All you need to know about Muscle, no bullshit, no myths, no broscience.

[Alex_98_OldBoy]

1)Muscles grow faster than people believe

2)Most people half ass their training

3)Most people are unconditioned

4)Humans are the most resistant and endurant land mammal on the planet

5)Overtraining has only been found in very weak and sick individuals, on healthy people its almost impossible to achieve

6)Rep ranges do not matter, what matters is volume also known as weight*(time under tension*reps)

7)Muscle fiber type is just a bullshit myth

8)Muscles fire at 100% power even when lifting a spoon,but they fire in bundles. When one bundle is fatigued, another starts working

9)Muscle is repaired,build,damaged through the entire day not just at night.


If you are skinny fat and not a r****d, it takes 5 months to get the Tyler durden body from fight club. 3 months if you actually try hard.


What should you do?

-Spend 2 weeks building your mental conditioning and consistence, train everyday to get used to the feeling of exertion and fatigue.

-Spend the remaining time doing a minimum of 14 sets to failure PER WEEK for the muscles you want to prioritise and 4 sets to failure PER WEEK for the muscles you still wanna grow but don't care that much

-Over the months increase the amount of sets to failure one way or another.

Muscle fiber type is just a bullshit myth

“Muscle fiber types are nonsense” Plainly wrong. Histologically proven EMG + biopsy data exist. The truth is Muscle fiber types are not absolute destiny, but they are a reality.

In most people the difference is less than 6% and in extreme cases it is because of conditioning as muscle cell fiber types change over the years with training. Both grow and both grow from any type of rep range.

The body is not picky if you 1 rep max your body is gonna use everything, if you hit failure on a 30 rep max, the body has already used everything.

There is no reliable source for this claim. Muscle fiber distribution Soleus ≈ 70–80% Type I, Gastrocnemius ≈ 50% Type II. Vastus lateralis may show a 20–40% difference between individuals. The figure of 6% is fabricated it has no basis in the literature. Muscle fibers do not transform completely. What is observed is: Type IIx > IIa transformation Type I > Type II transformation is very limited. Therefore, the claim that "fiber types equalize over the years" is incorrect. “Both benefit from every repetition interval.” Partially true, but misleading. True Type I and Type II can both cause hypertrophy. False They don't benefit with equal efficiency. Science Type I > high repetition / metabolic stress Type II > high load / high mechanical stress. Yes, all motor units can be activated in case of failure, but the adaptation is determined by which fiber is under what voltage and for how long. Activation does not equal adaptation.

i meant from person to person not in the same muscle type, like everyones shoulders are slightly more endurance dominant and everyone biceps are slight more power dominant but you will not find a guy who is 70% off the curve unless he did something like heavy labour since childhood or specific sports all his life.

Aka I can do one arm pull ups but I only do +42kg weighted pull ups and I struggle with high reps on back exercises but I can guarantee you it is because of mental conditioning, not because I have 70% more power fiber types in my back muscles than the next guy. I trained weighted pull ups more id get stronger in these and weaker in one arm pull ups, if I did higher reps work Id get stronger in that eventually. But my back would grow in all 3 types of training

Averages exist for muscle groups, but the variance between individuals is high. Saying 'everyone has strong shoulders and powerful biceps' is not scientific; moreover, figures like 70% are completely unfounded.
Weighted pull-ups have strengthened you in that exercise, but single-arm pull-ups require different neural coordination and motor unit control. This is neuromuscular adaptation, not mental adaptation.
Nobody is saying it's 70% power fiber. What is being said is: fiber type distribution and motor unit characteristics affect at what repetitions and loads we are more efficient. It's not a mental issue. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a superiority debate. I just want to clarify some points where I disagree.
