We all want big beautiful muscles but we all have different body types. Thankfully I just read an article in Outside Online talking about a study that was done to see if slow-twitch muscle people could get as bulky as their fast-twitch counterparts. The answer was yes but they had to do their weight training sets to failure at 80% of their 1 rep maximum of a weight. The other interesting detail that emerged from the research was that lifting three times a week was better than two or one times for building muscle mass! Awesome stuff right?!
