Growth Hormone For Enhanced Muscle Growth
If you are interested in building maximum amounts of muscle mass, then the chances are, you have came across what is known as the peptide hormone: growth hormone. Well, it's good if you have because when it comes to maximising your muscle gains, growth hormone is a pretty big deal! Simply put, growth hormone is released by a structure in the brain called the pituitary gland. Once growth hormone is released, it stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1 (insulin-like

The Scoop On Muscle Protein Synthesis
So we all know that muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is required to build new muscle. Pretty simple, right? It’s building muscle 101. More MPS means that more building blocks can be produced that go towards the production of new lean muscle tissue. It’s well known now that resistance training is the best way of increasing this MPS, which typically persists ~48 hours after your resistance training session. The more training sessions per week you have (provided your recovery is also accommodated for), the more you keep MPS in a heightened state. Great for your gains!
As muscle growth is a balancing game between the rate of MPS and muscle protein breakdown (MPB), the more often MPS stays in a heightened stay, the more likely MPS is going to exceed MPB and the greater the chance of new muscle growth. This is really the basis for muscle hypertrophy over time. More training means more MPS, which means greater than MPB, which ultimately leads to -

I mean after all, the importance of weight loss is not to actually build up, but to trim down, right? Correct, but you don’t want to trim down everything! Even if you want to lose weight, you job should still be to preserve as much muscle mass as possible while losing fat only. This is why protein is also essential during your weight loss journey. Not only should you pay close attention to your protein intake during a muscle building phase, but also, during a weight loss phase. It’s also better for your fat loss efforts over the long-term!
