ITT I will explain in detail what overtraining REALLY is, no bull****

many more like these to come.... maybe.

1-If you train with a 10RM you will have a higher 10RM,training your 1-3 RM will also increase your 10RM but not as efficiently.
2-Again if the set is to/around failure, all motor units are recruited.
3-Actually you will build a higher tolerance working with higher rep ranges simply because you are able to train with more volume.
4-An increase in 10RM is a good indicator for your progress,maybe not for your 1RM,It all comes down to what your goals are.

With that said, bodybuilders are the strongest in moderate rep ranges but get blown out when it comes down to 1 rep maxes when compared to powerlifters. Bodybuilders have bigger muscles, so its evident that you need to work in the moderate rep range to induce optimal hypertrophy.

There are dozens of other reasons (force/velocity curves, specificity of fitness gain, intra/inter muscular coordination) that 1-3 rep range is needed if for some reason you disagree with my points.

Here you go,took a bit of time:

All rat studies, literally means nothing at all for humans.

We can attach electrodes to a rats brain and use them like a toy car, they are not a substitute for human studies.

Still 0 evidence for human fiber switching

Srsly!?

Damn! Now I know what I'll give to my nephew at christmas!

You probably think I am kidding or exaggerating, I promise its 100% true.



They can be controlled through impulses sent to their motion centers, and you can attach a camera to turn them into little rat spies.

Anyway, this is way beyond the scope of my target audience, haha.

No no this stuff is good I'm learning a lot!

Are you studying neurophysiology or just a general interest in the subject?

Grabbing both right now I look forward to the reads; thank you!

Little bit of both... long story... don't wanna talk about it

Either that or chemistry

good luck
