why? having high-rep work done near corresponding rep RM places more tension directly on high-threshold MUs (hypertrophy-responsive MUs) than sub-maximal work. As for low-rep work, even if working sub-maximally you have enough weight to create tension to engage high-threshold MUs from the...

<<I think what really matters is that you have a big swing from your first set at light weights to your last set at heavy weights.<< But does it matter in what timeframe should "a big swing" happen? Just another idea... It looks like it isn't necessary to "fight RBE" every workout, but doing it...

Totz like Totentanz? Sure I have... When speaking about recruitment I mean the recruitment of high-threshold MUs from the first reps of a set as opposed to asynch recruitment - when the full engagement of the fibers is reached when approaching failure. Just because we are far from failure most...

Great to get an answer that fast :) I've meant almost the same thing, but haven't brought it up good enough: what I've meant was "hitting heavier weight at least once a week every week" What do you think - would it affect / influence the size of weight increments? Could the weight increments be...
