Big muscles- how do you get it?

Question: Is high repetitions or low repetitions better for big muscles?

Answer: There is really no difference in terms of getting big muscles and generating muscular overload in doing high repetitions or low repetitions. Contrary to what magazines or personal trainers cite, high repetitions will not give you added definition in your muscles. This myth resembles the “spot training for abs” myth. In both cases the target is to obtain muscle definition,(a state where muscles are clearly visible and defined) and in both cases no amount of repetitions will give you the definition you desire. Muscle Definition occurs when you have very little subcutaneous fat between your skin and muscles. There are really only two ways of bringing out definition of a body part; one is increasing the muscle-to-fat ratio substantially and the other is losing the fat using high intensity aerobics. Those two are sufficient to reduce the subcutaneous fat between your skin and allow you to grow big muscles.

Getting Big muscles should be your goal!

Your goal should not be determined by the number of repetitions performed. Rather it should be the intensity applied to an exercise and set. The most important element is to lean how to generate the right intensity to each and every set performed (intensity is the key). Once that requirement is met we can then worry about the number of repetitions performed because that is all you need to grow big muscles!.

To gte big muscles train all aspects of the muscle fiber-The general consensus is that high repetitions stimulate the fast twitch fibers and low repetitions stimulate the slow twitch fibers. But this benchmark becomes hard to use because every human will have a variety of these muscle types. Some individuals tend to have predominantly fast twitch fibers and they usually tend to be very skinny individuals, almost devoid of body fat. Others tend to have predominately slow twitch fibers. Such individuals are usually mesomorphs: individuals characterized by rectangular shaped muscles. But in reality each individual is a combination of both kinds of muscle fibers. This would essentially point to the conclusion that we should do both high repetitions and low repetitions to stimulate complete muscle growth and to grow big muscles!

When it comes to growing big muscles -Scientific research and my research in Africa, proves the conclusion above to be wrong. It would seem that growth takes place when there is maximum intensity placed on the central nervous system. The body has to adapt by growing big muscles regardless of the type of repetitions performed to prevent further attacks in the future. So the key is essentially applying maximum intensity. How one applies that intensity ,whether through low repetitions or high repetitions is not really important to getting big muscles.

Bare in mind that some may have different muscle fiber types located in different parts of their bodies. For example, a person’s leg muscles may respond to high repetitions, whereas their biceps (Arms) may respond favorably to low repetitions.

That is something to base in mind if you want big muscles!
