I will be adding more information on fast v slow twitch dominant muscle fibre types and what you can do to maintain and improve these fibres. What to do if you change your fast twitch to slow i.e by overcooking yourself by too much hard training.
Read MoreWe can change our 'emotional brain' = instincts & our 'logical brain' = thoughts, by changing the way we think and what we do. Nothing is fixed, if we put our minds to it we can achieve no matter how big or small.
