This starts in your 30s and 40s. 9:55 Muscle loss per year from .4% to 2.6% per year. 10:22 Strength loss per year 1 to 3% per year. Decline in muscle power is even greater. 10:55 Doing resistance training to failure a few days per week helps to preserve fast twitch muscle fibers that generate force and strength. 12:10 Consider taking a power lifting class so you can understand how to build strength. 13:50 Fast twitch muscle fibers (type 2b fibers) are recruited during high intensity activity. 14:05 Type 1 muscle fibers are recruited during low intensity activity. 14:25 Be explosive in your training. Your last rep should be challenging. 14:45 The neuronal aspect of your muscle, high force motor units, becomes dysregulated first. 15:35 The intermuscular (between muscles) and intramuscular (within muscle) fat accumulation underpins poor muscle quality and causes insulin resistance within the muscle. 17:20 Muscle architecture improvements are possible with just 4 to 5 weeks of regular resistance training. This precedes changes in muscle size.
