Skeletal muscle fibers twitch to create short bursts of energy. Many muscle fibers contract quickly for fast movements, while others move slowly, like the muscles in your back that maintain posture.

The Massive Lift of Muscle Skeletal muscle is the largest organ in the body by mass, taking up 30%-50% of our total body mass depending on age, sex, and fitness level. It’s not slacking off, either.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is on a mission to bring attention to the importance of strength. The "health of skeletal muscle" is the "focal point" of health and wellness, Dr. Lyon said during an exclusive ...
