Powerful tool to maximize stimulus and control.","tempo-execution-speed",{"title":799,"description":800,"slug":801},"Training density","Training density measures the amount of work done per unit of time. Increase it to boost intensity and metabolic stress.","training-density",{"title":803,"description":804,"slug":805},"Training frequency","Training frequency defines how many times per week you work a muscle. Discover the optimal frequency to progress.","training-frequency",{"title":807,"description":808,"slug":809},"Training intensity","Bodybuilding intensity measures the difficulty of the effort. Find out how to calculate it with % of 1RM, RPE, and RIR.","training-intensity",{"title":811,"description":812,"slug":813},"Training volume","Training volume represents the total amount of work performed. Discover the optimal volumes per muscle per week to progress.","training-volume",{"title":815,"description":816,"slug":817},"Type I muscle fibers","Type I fibers (slow-twitch) are endurance-oriented muscle fibers. Resistant to fatigue, they sustain prolonged efforts.","muscle-fibers-type-i",{"title":819,"description":820,"slug":821},"Type II muscle fibers","Type II fibers (fast-twitch) are powerful muscle fibers optimized for explosive efforts. Essential for strength and power.","type-ii-muscle-fibers",{"title":823,"description":824,"slug":825},"Upper/Lower","The Upper/Lower program divides training into upper body and lower body sessions over 4 days per week.
