low rep, high intensity trainning

[Benzi]

Aright guys, i've been following max-out's low rep, high intensity trainning or a week now. I don't feel like i'm getting much of a workout because i am not tired at night nor sore the next day.
I read recently that thete are 2 types of bodies. One, composed primarily of red muscle fibers (which are know for their enurance), and the other, composed primarily of white muscle firbers (known for thier fast growth and bulky appearance). I believe i am more of an endurance athlete and maybe this max-out programe is right for me. Am i wasting my time or is there no difference in red/white fiber training for muscle growth?

well.. being tired or sore isn't really an accurate indication of your workout... what gains, if any, have you made? its a short time to judge, but do you feel stronger?

i'm not sure about the muscle type-workout thing, but if you aren't making any gains on a program after 3-4 weeks you may want to consider changing it... if you havent' made any gains after 6-8 definately change it...

About the fibers: no one person has all or the majority of red or white fibers. The body needs both types, so the body would not develop a lot more of one over the other. As for your training, look at this thread:

I discuss and successfully argue the superiority of high intensity training over high volume. I don't know what your routine is, but if you're following a proper HIT routine, you will see results with every workout. By results I mean either an increase in weight used or increase in reps performed.
