Depending on the type of movement, the different fibers fire at different rates to contract the muscle, as well as use different types of fuels to start the contractions. And I would never call anyone asking a good question like this "stupid." -------------- Michael Humble, even in Victory.

Bodybuilding exercises per sey probably are not your answer for the goals you have. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer
