Muscle Hypertrophy and Anabolic Agents I;Muscle Anatomy;Muscle Anatomy (continued);All muscles contain a mix of fiber types. Muscles that show large gains in size with training usually have a fairly high % of Type-II fibers (e.g. gastrocnemius vs. soleus). ;Muscle Anatomy and Training;Fibers most sensitive to hypertrophy are Type-IIb. This explains why muscle hypertrophy occurs in response to stress of high force (resistance training). These fibers are only used when rate of force production is high. There is huge individual variation in hypertrophy response to training.;Muscle
