Muscle gain is essential if you are looking to gain strength. There are
a number of different ways to gain strength, but the number one way to
do it is to work out regularly. We all know that there are a lot of
supplements on the market these days, but the question is do we really
need them? Well, research has found that we really do need at least one
of them if we want to get bigger, and the one that is the most important
is called protein, and you can have them in the form of protein shakes. Protein is the most important part of any athlete's diet. If you want to get fit, if you want to gain muscle and if you want to be effective at any sport that you play, you will need to make sure that you are getting enough protein. If you are not, you are doing your body a major disservice. Muscles grow only if you have enough protein in your diet, and if you do not have enough protein in your diet you muscle will start to break down. This is because your body is looking for protein so that it can send it to your muscles, and the only source of protein that it can find is the protein within your muscle. This means that your body will start using your muscles as a source of protein, which means that you are losing muscle mass, and no athlete wants this to happen. It take a long time to build muscle, we all know that it is not a thing that can be done overnight. Okay, the breakdown of muscle does not happen overnight either, but it happens a lot faster than you can build muscle. This makes it very silly if you are letting this happen to your body. If you want to maintain your muscle at a certain point you will need to find out how much protein you need to consume on a daily basis. This amount will not be the same for everyone; it is usually calculated according to your lean body mass, which means that you will have to find that out first. The amount of protein you take is usually one to one and a half the amount of your body weight in pounds. You will take the number and take that amount of protein in grams. This then means if you weigh a total of 200 pounds that you will have to take 200 to 300 grams of protein daily. This is very important if you want to keep your muscles at their peak and if your want to make more gains. Now, protein is not the tastiest thing on the block, which means that we all have to disguise the taste a bit. Most of us do this by putting it in our milkshakes - health shakes, not ice cream shakes. There are a number of different types of shakes that are very tasty and that are healthy, a good health shake recipe book is a great place to start looking for them. |
