Muscle fibers:
Yes there are muscle fiber types which can be exploited to increase gains in muscle.
There are two types of muscle fibers
1. Type I
2. i)Type IIa ii)Type IIb
Type I are slow twitch fibers which means they are triggered with high reps and low weight such as calf muscle which is mostly made up of Type I fibers.
With low weight you can do more repetitions such as 50 to 60 reps which will increase the size of calf.
You can train with slow twitch at any given time of day and can go on more and more they will work fine but be ready for the pain afterwards.
Type II fibers however fatigue faster but have great explosive strength.
You can lift more weight in first 15 minutes after warmup as they are activated they can perform quite well for less time but can give you the great advantage to lift
