  • Debate! Article on changes in muscle DENSITY, SHAPE, and ISOLATION!

    This has long been debated, some more than others. I came across this article, and anyone who wants to take the time can read it here : http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/maga...uebuilding2.htm

    1. It states you CAN induce hyperplasia (cell multiplication) through training thus making the muscles more dense.
    2. You can stress different heads of the muscle depending on positioning of the movement.
    3. (this is the BIGGEST debate) You can stress different areas of the muscle (lower bicep, bicep peak, inner chest, etc..) stating it is "it would seem implausible in light of the fact that there are distinct physiological/anatomical differences within a single muscle that a muscle would respond in a uniform fashion ."

    Read it if you care to debate, hopefully you will. Id like to hear the vet, mod, and experienced opinions, ideas, and knowledge related to this subject.

    link dosnt work bro.

    take tris for instance they are one of the best examples of having to hit all the heads with different work to keep them symetrical. otherwise we could just do flat bench for chest and get the muscles full potential and so forth. theres my 2 cents.

      yes it is true, basically:
      -if you lift light you use all muscle fibers
      -if you lift heavy you use the stong primary muscle fibers.
      this is why you lift light to get full tone, separation, definition, etc... and heavy to get those primary strands growing for overall strength and size.
      -if you try lifting heavy then light you will notice that it gives off two different types of fatigue, one burns and the other will not.
