Size, strength and endurance relation?

Size, strength and endurance relation?So I've been trying to understand the relation between these properties but it's still a bit clouded in my head and I still have some doubts. (Also, I don't know if I'm using the lingo correctly). From what I understood so far there are two types of fibers in our muscles (let's call them 1 and 2), type 1 helps with endurance and is exercised with a high RM. Meanwhile type 2 helps with strength and it's better stimulated with a lower RM. Now some questions: 1) Both kind of stimulations (low and high RM), when going to or almost to, failure, are able to build muscle right? Is there any difference in witch type of fiber contributes most for muscle growth? 2) Where does explosiveness fits in? I understand that it's on the strength side, but it seems to be a different kind of strength. 3) Can someone work on every aspect at once? Or is it better to focus at one at a time? 4) Is it possible to build strength and not build much muscle? 5) Onto an example: being able to do 100 sit ups straight is not necessarily being able to do 20 sit ups with an extra weight "X", right? Because of these different muscle fibers. But the muscle not being able to do these 20 sit ups with the extra weight X, but doing 100 with the normal weight, doesn't mean it's "weak" right? I choose to use the abs as an example because it's a very important muscle in respect of core strength and balance. Which of these both "different kind of strengths" bring a better core? Or am I going way off here? Thanks. submitted by /u/traficantedemel [link] [comments]
