Optimizing Stimulating Reps for Muscle Growth
The chapter explores the crucial role of the last five reps in stimulating muscle growth, focusing on motor unit recruitment and fatigue mechanisms. It discusses excitation-contraction coupling failure and the impact of training to failure on calcium overload. Emphasizing the importance of lighter loads for high threshold motor unit recruitment, it delves into practical strategies for maximizing muscle growth while minimizing fatigue.
