MUSCLE GROWTH SECRETS

Introduction he constant struggle to put on muscle is one numerous people have been struggling with for many years. People want to see results and they want to see them fast. Some even turn to illegal or unhealthy ways to achieve these results such as steroid use or compulsive exercising. For those who decide to do it the healthy way they will learn it’s a difficult process that takes a lot of hard work, discipline, and most importantly, time. The good news is there are ways to increase this process with healthy, safe opportunities. Appropriate nutrition plays a critical role in the building of lean muscle mass, more specifically, protein. Having adequate amounts of protein in your diet during times when the body is in most need of it helps promote muscle maintenance and the rebuilding of tissues. When is your body most in need of protein? Protein is needed in the diet on a daily basis. According to the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) 10-35% of your daily caloric intake should consist of protein. When exercise is added to one’s lifestyle the body is in extra need of protein to repair the used muscle fibers. The breaking down and rebuilding of the tissue with the help of protein is an ongoing process. This process is called protein synthesis and will be discussed in further detail later in this chapter. When an individual has the goal of adding more mass to their physique in the form of muscle, they may need to consider adding extra protein into their diets.
