So I will be discussing on how to maximize your gains by explaining how hypertrophy can be increased and what you could do. We will be looking at different categories like muscle fibers at first.
So first we will be discussing muscle fibers and how to maximize ATP and Motor recruitment units.
Muscle Fibers:
When it comes to muscle fibers,there are 3 types and these include Type I,II a and II x. Type I fibers are oxidative and rely on oxygen to create ATP for energy and they’re mostly red because of the high amounts of myoglobin present. Type II also uses oxygen as fuel but the difference is that both Type II fibers are designed for high strength high intensity physical movement while the Type I fibers are designed for endurance capacity. Type II x fibers use lesser oxygen and more glycogen for ATP generation,they also have less myoglobin than the rest of the other fiber types.
What can you do?
For increased strength and a fuller look,you can increase your carbohydrate intake before your workout. You can also consume fast acting sugars during your workout. Not only will it increase ATP but you will spike hormones such as IGF-1 and Insulin. Glycogen also enhances protein synthesis and a good intake of glucose will prevent amino acids into being converted into glucose. And consuming carbohydrates and protein together will enhance glycogen replenishment.
mTor (mammalian Target Of Rapamycin)
mTor is crucial when it comes to cell growth and proliferation. It is essential for protein synthesis since it adds groups of phosphate to proteins and creating cellular processes. It’s a protein kinase and is responsible for all cells including muscle itself. There’s many ways on how you could increase mTor easily.
What can you do?
You protein intake should be ideally 1-1,2 grams per pound,the key amino acids that stimulate mTor pathways are L-arginine,L-leucin and glutamine but at the end all essential amino acids matter. Ideally you want your protein sources to be from a animal source because animal protein contains all the essential amino acids,a amino acid supplement also works for this matter and the good thing about these supplements is that they have good amounts of the amino acids that stimulate mTor.
Recovery time
I’m keeping it short because I don’t have much to explain here. But when it comes to getting the most out of your workout,it’s best to rest for a bit and here’s why. If you’re natty,you should rest for 48 hours meaning you should workout every other day since muscle protein synthesis lasts up to 48 hours. But if you’re juiced up on roids the process is much quicker between 12-24 hours meaning you could work out everyday.
What can you take?
So here’s a list on what things you could take to increase hypertrophy:
-Vitamin D3
-Roids
-GH releasing peptides
-Coenzyme Q10
The only vitamin supplement that is actually good for hypertrophy is vitamin D3,it inhibits myostatin mildly and also helps with muscle recovery and that it can also have a mild affect on increasing muscle protein synthesis. Steroids are the best option without a question,they inhibit myostatin and increase the overall protein synthesis and you could sit your ass on the couch the whole day and get more gains than a natural who works out 5 times a week. GH and IGF-1 are important for muscle hypertrophy and recovery and also speed up the process of recovery that’s why GH releasing peptides are a very good option. Also another supplement I recommend is Q10 since it increases ATP.
That’s it.
