What type of training limits the potential for hypertrophy in type II muscle fibers?

High repetition training focuses on performing a greater number of repetitions with lighter weights, which primarily engages slow-twitch muscle fibers and is less effective at fully recruiting type II muscle fibers. Type II muscle fibers, often associated with strength and hypertrophy, thrive on training modalities that involve higher loads and lower repetitions, allowing for maximal fiber recruitment and tension. While high repetition training can improve muscular endurance, it typically does not provide the same level of stimulus for muscle growth in fast-twitch fibers, which are crucial for hypertrophy. Therefore, this type of training tends to limit the hypertrophy potential of type II muscle fibers, as they are not being activated to their full extent.
