Otherwise you look great but can't throw a punch
Fast twitch fibres do die off - with age- inactivity or over training the slow twitch
Dunno if early Mike Tyson lifted much but he is example of high twitch...age (his peak early 20's) and lifestyle took them away. Lennox was opposite where age helped him develop.
Might be going away from Parker here but I love this stuff
there are particular types of weights and the way you lift them that send a hormone down nerves to convert slow to fast. when you are younger you have a buffer essentially on fast twitch. very complex . Im very lucky that two of my best mates are the world leader in this stuff. DR Angus Ross and DR mike Scofield are the guys. look them up. very complex with periodization. As well as creating stiffness in muscles, range and thick fascia.
