CHAPTER

Fiber Level Force and Tension during Set Progression

This chapter explores the relationship between force and fiber level as they near failure in a set, discussing how heavy loads result in low per fiber tension initially, but increase as some fibers fatigue. It also discusses the concept of effective reps for achieving maximum tension in muscle fibers and how different loads and fatigue impact hypertrophy. Additionally, it examines motor unit recruitment and firing rates in relation to fatigue and contraction intensity.
