Science behind increasing muscle mass

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.

Smart people prefer to be alone...

People are talented, curious, and ambitious. We crave the stimulation of creativity and the adrenaline of competition. Always on the go, we have little time to reflect on our accomplishments or just enjoy what we already have. We’re addicted to busyness because it is good for society, but it’s bad for ourselves as individuals. A person who is constantly busy has little time to notice what they’re doing with their precious life and ponder whether it is the right use of their time. Busy people often sacrifice things they enjoy to achieve a goal, which itself is an equally valuable experience. We’ve come to accept that being busy is good for us, but it can also create stress and anxiety that affect both our physical and mental health. Stress hormones have been shown to leave us less productive, less effective at problem-solving, and more emotionally volatile. The pressure of needing to be busier than we already are might also be responsible for a lot of doctor visits as our bo...

What is the true meaning of lesbians?

Lesbians. The word evokes many different emotions for many different people but what is the true meaning of lesbians? To start, it was believed to be translated from French as "laies," which means "female who loves women." In the early 20th century, it defined a woman with a propensity to bond with other females. This inclination is usually displayed through heterosexual relationships. The definition did not stop there: There are also lesbian feminists as well as gay men and lesbian males that identify as lesbians. In more recent years, scholars such as Kate Bornstein and Michel Foucault have expanded the meaning of lesbians to encompass various identities that are un-defined by sexual preference or gender identity. Although in the '70s and '80s, it was popular to identify as lesbian and to have a sexual relationship with another woman, it has since broadened to include gender-fluid individuals, bisexuals, and transgender individuals. Nowadays, t...
