Most of my exercises at the gym are performed with sort recoveries.
1 This limits the amount of weight I can use, thereby avoiding injury from too heavy weights.
2 The increase in intramuscular pressure reduces oxygen levels in the muscle

3 Short recovery limits the restoration of blood flow
4 Result: fast-twitch (oxidative & glycolytic) muscles are recruited, which is what I want
5 Session length is reduced
6 CV system is used
It's crucial to work fast-twitch fibres as u age (you use them getting out of a chair)

They are the mass and strength muscles. You lose fast-twitch over slow-twitch as u age, so keep stimulating them
Aerobic exercise is important but it will turn u even more slow-twitch; u need to work both fibre types
Resistance training & sprinting. You want to get 'breathless'

Damn, meant *short* recoveries
