One of the most difficult parts of working out is building muscle. You can train to increase strength and endurance, but it's hard to get bigger. There's good news for those who have been hitting the gym with no results: you don’t need to suffer through hours in a gym anymore!
In this post, we'll explore how muscles grow, how protein impacts muscle growth, and tips for working out more efficiently. At the end of reading this post you should be ready to step up your game and sculpt that body you've always wanted.
The differences between central and anabolic hormones
Initial steps to building muscle mass
Muscle growth occurs in stages. First, there is a signal given by the body telling your muscles to begin growing. This starts with a hormone produced by the pituitary gland which travels from your brain to your pituitary gland. The molecule of this hormone is called Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). When stimulated, it will travel towards the gonads and stimulate them to produce another hormone called Lutenizing Hormone (LH). LH is sent back from the gonads to the pituitary gland where it stimulates FSH production. FSH is then sent back to the gonads and stimulates the production of testosterone. Testosterone is responsible for growth in your muscles as well as other processes in your body.
When it reaches your muscles, it interacts with another hormone produced by your pituitary gland called Growth Hormone (GH). This hormone will then stimulate protein synthesis in the muscle which causes growing. To better understand this process, think of GH as the first domino that pushes all the other dominoes over.
Protein is very important for building muscle mass. It serves to provide amino acids which are needed to create new proteins. In addition, protein is used for growing and maintaining muscle. If you are not getting enough protein in your diet you will not grow as quickly as you could have.
For a long time, there was a belief that muscle would only grow during rest periods of working out and was not affected by the actual activity. This idea has since been debunked because now we know that muscles do grow during workouts. The act of pushing ourselves through a workout causes an increase in GH levels which stimulates more protein synthesis and growth for our muscles.
The first step to building muscle mass is admitting that you have a problem! If you're like most men, this process of accepting that there is something wrong with your body is painful, embarrassing, and uncomfortable.
Relationships are wonderful when they work, but not so great for when they don't. Breaking up is never easy, so what can you do to make it easier? We'll help you decide if staying in a stale relationship is the best option for you. Relationship Tip #1: Separate the Past from the Present If the relationship is over, it's over. Don't try to cling to a ghost of a relationship that existed in the past. The past may be a place you'd love to return to, but if it doesn't exist anymore and hasn't existed for a while, don't waste your time trying to bring back something that only exists in your memories. Focus on the here and now. Why do you want to stay in a relationship that isn't working for you? Is it fear? Do you worry about being alone? Are you being overly dependent on your partner because it's comfortable to have them around and difficult to imagine life without them?
