I have a question about the episode 250 ‒ Training principles for longevity | Andy Galpin, Ph.D. (PART II) and the clip Muscle Fiber Activation. When talking about strength, Andy Galpin said it's all about total force. Is it more about training your nervous system through intensity, with fewer repetitions but as much frequency as you want? Am I correct in understanding that you are training the nervous system to recruit more fibers efficiently to produce higher total force? How did I do in understanding this concept?
