well if you mean at which point would the most fibers be recruited, it would be the peak contracted state im pretty dang sure. I dont know WHY you would wanna know this, if you hit all 3 POF's then it shouldnt matter, THATS whats gonna hit the most fibers.

The reason i ask is i had a friend who just did a 8 week cycle of partial movements in all his excercise and got strong as hell and grew bigger then he ever did...he did all his stretching before and after his training so he woudl not get cramps and pulls..partial movements in the end of the movement...just wondering what peopel thought of that concept..

Overthinking

Get on a good routine, eat better, and you will grow.

Every skeletal muscle fiber in the body is only capable of maximal contraction. In other words, a muscle fiber is either contracted at it's maximum level, or it isn't contracted at all. The amount of muscular force is determined by the amount of fibers recruited. The amount of fibers recruited is determined by the amount of force needed to move a weight. So basically, the higher the amount of weight used, the more muscle fibers that are recruited. This applies to any exercise.

Big Bald, I gotta say you make me check in on the board at least once a day just to see what you will ask next for yourself or one of your freinds. LOL

AGREED!!!!!!!!!

I think sometimes people arent growing or improving as fast and efficiently as theyd like, so they start looking for little "tricks" and "secrets" and different angles on training or whatever to get that little edge that they "must be missing cause theyr not growing like they feel they should". Do what Phil said, its the simple and correct answer.
