It's good for the tendons and ligaments and because everyone has all of the fiber types, you should not neglect those with the smaller %.

If you don't know it's understandable the only way to truly know is to have a muscle fiber biopsy.. which is unpleasant. But if you don't really know .. what types of sports have you naturally gravitated towards? Marathons, quarter mile or sprints?

In the end, if you are really serious, you need a well planned "routine" which incorporates the right mix of reps / sets / techniques based on your personal body type.
i'm actually trying to sort that out, my current routine consists of 5-8 rep sets, heavy weights and i am seeing results, but prior to this i was doing p90x and also some results.

i swam in college&high school, my events were medium distance- 200 yards.
