Advanced bodybuilding-How to train fast twitch and slow twitch fibers?
I'm stuck at a plateau by constantly training my fast twitch fibers, though I strongly assume that it is due to lack of non-training of my slow twitch muscle fibers. I'd appreciate if anyone could give an example of your way of training both types of muscle fibers. Eagerly waiting. Thanks.

Some easy methods are
1. Do your regular sets/reps for body part using heavy weights (5-8 reps) this will work your fast twitch, once you do about 3-5 sets of those drop the weight and do a few low rep sets 8-15 reps. Arnold used to do this :P
2. Try pyramids works both fast and slow
start off with a low weight and keep adding weight
- first set 12 reps, increase weight
- 2nd set 8-10 reps increase weight
- 3rd set 3-5 reps, and so on :)
goodluck apart from that I find supersets really great for both
