Hi guys! I googled some but couldn't find any answer on this particular question: how does sarcoplasmic hypertrophy help the muscle?
My reasoning is that since a higher rep range will elicit sarcoplasmic rather than myofibrillar hypertrophy, this must somehow help the body whilst performing tasks which are "high rep" in nature - how does it do this? Or is the swelling of the tissue between the muscle fibers just a bi-product of some other mechanism?
