Fiber saturation, gasp. That is just making me laugh. Sorry but "rep range training" is going to cause "metabolical gobbledygooky growth something or other. Yeah, dumbell kickbacks at 20 reps are the shit for "growth". Look, the effect of increasing the cappilary and mitochondrial density of a muscle is to simply increase the endurance of the slow twich fibers. This is WHY those rep ranges are generally considered endurance ranges. Might this have some effect on your ability to recover metabolically? Yes. In the long run. But here, what that week is would be called, ummm....a deload. If it helps it is because it allows some recovery. This is just fancy pants language to describle a way some guy likes to train. Don't think it's "science".

Nothing much is going to happen to your "cappilary density" in ONE week anyway. And then by the time you come back to it it has already started going away. WHY? Because the effect of standard resistance training is to DECREASE the density of these oxidative factors. Hello!

Sorry, this has nothig to do with the question at hand really I just thought that was some rediculous sounding stuff. It it works for people it works, it's the perception of WHY it works that will cause some confusion and have many spinning their wheels when it DOESN'T work. If you don't understand what the heck someone is talking about, chances are it simply doesn't make sense.

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