Is it important to understand the structure of our muscles? And if so how could this improve the results of our muscle exercise routine?

Muscles as we know are formed by either a slow-contract structure or a fast-contract structure, one wise thing to do when deciding the muscles exercise technique we are going to adopt is to find out the type of structure a muscle is made of, for example a muscle made of high level of slow-contracts structure reacts more favorably to high repetitions, so high level of slow-contracts structured muscles are more adequately trained in the 15 or over repetitions to allow the muscle to be enough time under pressure. On the other hand fast-contracts structured muscles are more responsive to lower numbers of repetitions and are more adequately trained in the 6 to 12 repetitions.

So how do you decide your muscle structure for any given muscle? By determining the number of times you can lift a sub-maximal weight is one way to find out the structure or a muscle, for example if two people lift the same weight and one can lift it 5 times while the other one can lift it 15 times, the person who has lifted the weight 5 times has a fast-structured muscle while the other has a slow structure muscle, this type of test is particularly true for untrained or beginners folks.

Understanding the complexity of the muscle exercise routine is very important, especially if an exercise engages multiple muscles and multiple joints in which case it is inappropriate to do excessive repetitions as the results produced would be undesirable because some muscle would get tired first causing a modification of the overall exercise and the modus operandi. Before deciding how many repetitions someone should perform it is important to understand the muscle structure, these factors are particularly important when deciding and designing a gym routine, having said that and discussed the importance of muscle structure related to repetition we now have to understand how sets work and how to decide on the correct amount of stets.

When we talk about how many groups of consecutive repetitions we are going to do we are talking about muscle and fitness exercise sets. When we change the kind of exercise we performing or we take a long rest between groups of exercise, we can consider the set finished. Two sets performed on different muscles groups continuously is defined as a terrific set. A massive set is three exercises for the same muscle group done continuously. Sets which go down, in which practically there is no rest taken between the different weights, is the same as one set.

It is fundamental to understand the structure of our muscles and hence adjust our muscles exercise routine accordingly.
