What kind of strength outcomes are we looking to achieve? In this example we are addressing Strength/Endurance adaptation through the 4Q model using a superset scheme. The first set focuses on strength and recruiting Type IIAB muscle fibers in the LLT quadrant. Rep range is 6-8 with a high load/intensity between 60-80% of 1RM. This is immediately followed by an integrated exercise that is biomechanically similar with a rep range from 10 or even to failure Here we access LMT/UMT quadrants which recruit more Type I joint strengthening muscle fibers while introducing increased variability in odd positions. This points to the Henneman Size principle that we recruit Type I muscle fibers when the load is low, but when the load is high and linear, we recruit more Type IIAB muscle fibers. We access this principle through the 4Q model all of which generate a greater cross sectional area and the ability to generate more force potential and hence increased strength
