Gaining Muscle
When it comes to building muscle and strength, resistance training is the ultimate stimulus.
Without resistance training, there will be no reason for your muscles to rebuild, grow, and
adapt. During intense training, your muscles are broken down, before rebuilding stronger
and bigger.<br>
If you’re looking to optimize building muscle, you should be focusing on:
- training smart and hard
- consuming adequate energy and protein
- having sufficient good quality rest
Nutrition
Nutrition is likely to be most people’s struggle when it comes to getting in shape. With our lifestyle, it is hard to cook and prep every meal by ourselves, and we do not expect you to do so too. What most people fail to do is understand the type and content of the food they consume, as oppose to controlling the amount of food they eat. Once you have a better understanding of food, you will realize that you have a lot more freedom to eat what you want, and still be on track with your fitness goals.
Proteins
Proteins are the building blocks of body tissue – it is found in virtually every body part. When it comes to food, the National Academy of Medicine recommends that adults consume a minimum of 0.8g of protein for every kilogram of body weight, or just over 7g for every pound of body weight. Although, much like carbohydrates, what matters most is not the amount of protein but the source. Healthy protein sources include beans, nuts, fish or poultry instead of red meat or processed
meat.
TRAINING
The American Heart Association defines strength training, also known as resistance or weight training, as physical activity designed to improve muscular fitness by exercising a specific
muscle or muscle group against external resistance, including free-weights, weight machines, or your own body weight. Regardless of which stage in fitness you are in, strength training is good to incorporate into your exercise plans – the importance and benefits of strength training are aplenty.
