How to conduct the Charles Poliquin muscle fibre test

Determine your one repetition maximum (1RM) on an exercise
Rest for 15 minutes
Perform as many repetitions as possible with 85% of your 1RM
Analysis

Less than 5 repetitions - fast twitch (FT) dominant
5 repetitions - mixed fibre type
more than 5 repetitions - slow twitch (ST) dominant
If you are FT dominant, then you should use heavier loads and lower repetitions predominantly in your training. ST dominant individuals, on the other hand, will respond better to lighter loads and higher repetitions

I have heard this before from CP. This holds true with what CF just said in that "if you tire and die, well… "
However - according to this article, SE is not shown/neglected/not trainable or all of the above? Ie - If bens squats were 6 x 600lb and 85% of max = Slow twitch dominant…

Unless the article is talking about beginners - according to CP however, it can be used for nearly everybody at any stage…

Sprinters will test out as slow twitch dominant because of the influence of SE on their results. I’ve discussed this a number of times on the forum.
