How do i develop fast twitch muscles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conditioning: We all have both fast and slow twitch, and most have about 50% of each. You can enhance the capability of your fast twitch muscle by making them work harder, but you really have to strengthen both groups at the same time. An example, when you jog, add sprinting sessions of 1-2 minutes every 5 minutes. This should progress over time to do longer sprints with shorter rest (jogging) intervals.
