Are all muscles created equally in terms of stimulation for muscle growth?

Mine are much bigger tbh.
I could easily outlift the average man by a given amount of weight. Especially if that man didn’t know we were competing. That’s just how muscular I am.
No. It mainly has to do with your muscle fibers. Your muscles have two types, fast-twitch and slow-twitch.
The larger muscle groups are primarily fast-twitch meaning they respond more easily to stimulus, are used for short, explosive movements, and fatigue easily, while the smaller muscles like forearms and calves are slow-twitch. They’re more efficient at energy expenditure and and can sustain activity for longer but don’t respond as equally to stimulus. These muscles are good for endurance activities. It’s also why they’re a bitch to grow. Anyone who’s into fitness/weightlifting will tell you traps, calves, forearms are some of the hardest muscles to grow. Doing 3-5 reps on calves isn’t to grow them like it would on quads or chest.
Some muscles are naturally more responsive and tend to grow faster with the right exercises and training. It’s like they have a little extra “oomph” in them! But hey, that doesn’t mean you should neglect any muscle group. Each muscle deserves some love and attention if you want a well-rounded and balanced physique. So, let’s hit the gym and give all those muscles a chance to shine! 💪🔥
