Here’s a quote I used in Old Man, Young Muscle from Brad Schoenfeld, Ph.D.:
Altering the style of training may affect changes in serial hypertrophy. Increases in fascicle length have been reported in athletes who replace heavy resistance training with high-speed training. These findings suggest that performing concentric actions with maximal velocity may promote the addition of sarcomeres in series even in those with considerable training experience.
In other words, you can get yet another “layer” of growth with faster reps, what I call Speed Reps in OMYM. As late Olympic coach Charles Poliquin said, one of the least used hypertrophic stimulators is changing rep tempo.
For more on Speed Sets as well as workouts that include them, see Old Man, Young Muscle.
