I am a slim guy and I don't want to get big.. I think it looks funny. I would rather be slim, strong, and quick. How do I go about building my fast twitch muscle fiber? I want to be like my man Bruce Lee!!!!!! haha

Plyometrics and high quantity fast reps, not to failure. Sub 7% bodyfat. |

Well, check out this article, http://www.mikementzer.com/blee.html, by John Little the co-author with Bruce Lee of The Art of Expressing the Human Body: http://www.amazon.com/Art-Expressing-Human-Body/dp/0804831297 A great program focusing on functional strength for fighters is Scott Sonnon's Tacfit Commando: http://www.tacfitcommando.com/ . Deceptively simple but highly effective. Coach Sonnon is a world class martial artist himself. He focuses on functional strength, flexibility, joint health, speed & power rather bulk for bulk's sake. |

It would mostly be the result of bodyfat %, followed by a moderate amount of muscle gain and finally genetics. |

Bruce Lee only weighed 135 lbs so Id think the key for him was to have a very low body fat percentage so that the muscle he did have could really be seen (giving the illusion of more mass than had.) |

Check out www.musclehack.com. Download Mark's newest Total Anabolic ebook. It's a quick read at about 22 pages. He keeps things very simple but explains in details how to activate your type 2b fast twitch muscle fibers. Essentially, it's about finding your peak point between workouts. And pushing out that last painful and slow rep to muscle failure is very important, as it is often the final and most difficult rep that really instructs your muscles to activate the fast twitch fibers and 'break' your tissue so it can be repaired stronger. This is exactly what I've been doing for about 6 months now. All of my lifting numbers have nearly doubled, and I was stronger than average before I even started. I am 5'8, 151 lbs (was 164 when I started Paleo/lifting last August) Actual examples of my 6 month progression @ 3x/wk on a Powertec Leverage Bench using free weights squats: from reps with 190 to 350 now seated row: from reps with 130 to 240 now shoulder press: from reps with 120 to 200 now cable curls: from reps with 55 to 100 now bench press: from reps with 160 to 240 now Not bragging (pointless since nobody even knows who I am anyway). I'm just saying, what I learned from Mark Mcmanus has really helped my strength and muscle gains. I'm not in Bruce Lee physique territory yet, but getting closer and something like that is my goal, with maybe a bit more bulk than he had. Cheers, Jack Kronk |
