But I don't think your understanding what the thread is addressing. It's not meant to dwell on fiber rectruitment for the sake of it. It's debunking "training to fiber type". Hopefully, you didn't mean that's what you've been doing all along (j/k). Orderly recruitment as explained in the material I gave is the truth to our current level of understanding.

If you research and read like I do, you'll know that there are many so-called experts out there who COMPLETELY ignore the reality of orderly recuitment and tell people the only way to do it is to fatigue this fiber through a certain rep in order to "get" to that fiber, etc., and so on. There have been workouts posted here advocating that very thing. Or you even have people saying that certain individuals can't gain muscle at all due to predominant fiber type.

Check out the shit a ABCBodybuilding.com., for example. And people could easily be taken in by it, because it sounds sciency and smart.

I have been asked these questions myself. The purpose of the posting was for those people who may be drawn in by such thinking. Not just beginners, I've seen more experience people drawn in by it to. For most of us, as you say, it is not something you need to think about. But I put this here to show people the way it DOESN'T work, as much as anything else.

BTW, I put hypertrophy so more people might actually read the stuff . Someone has to post the non-flashy nuts and bolts things. Your muscles work the same way when your strength training.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
