All Muscle Fibers

I read about to get the most strength you should target all muscle fibers but how can i target all muscle fibers ?

Should i do a few light sets at the end or beginning of workout ?

if your just looking for pure strength then low reps are what you want to do ... between 1-5

So shouldnt you bother with all muscle fibers just do 1-5 reps ?

well the best for strength is 1-5, best for hypertrophy is 8-12, and higher than that is endurance

dont just do one set/rep scheme.

so for about a month do 1-5 reps then for about a week 15 + reps ?

have a mixture during the week. for instance if youre doing 3-4 reps on day 1, do 8-10 reps day 2. your still stimulating your muscles but not overloading them to the point where your not recovering properly.

if you want an idea of how to set up a program like that check out waterbury's TBT program
