Everybody wants to build muscle; it looks good, it burns fat, it makes your body more durable. However, when it comes to building muscle, people have a tendency to neglect their lower body.
WHAT ARE FAST TWITCH MUSCLES?
One thing anyone that wants to maximize their fitness should know is that people have two types of muscle fibers: Fast Twitch muscle fibers and slow twitch muscle fibers. Both are used for different types of activities.
When it comes to slow twitch muscles, they are primarily used for long endurance feats like marathons and long distance runs. On the other hand, fast twitch muscles are for those quick bursts of power like long jumps and sprinting.
Fast Twitch muscle fibers are also the largest and most powerful muscles in your body. So training them can do wonders for boosting your muscle mass and strength in your lower body.
Now that we know what fast twitch muscles are and how they work, let’s get into how you can target them to build muscle in your lower body.
