hi everyone. i hear there are several types of muscle fiber, mainly fast and slow twitch ones. i know that fast twitch are most useful for boxers and that doing explosive exercises or really heavy lifting are best for this, and that doing higher rep training for weights is more likely to make slow twitch muscles and lead to sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, not myofibrilar which is more important.
so training with low weight / high reps will lead to slow muscles and extra weight, which is bad. but at the same time im recovering from shoulder surgery and it might be useful for me to put on some muscle mass quickly, to help with recovery and stability.
so could i just put on some muslce now and change the type later? i know there are transitional fibers that can become slow or fast, but can you change them back once they have become one? and how can i loose sacoplasmic hypertrophy pre fight to loose weight? thanks
