The effects fibers of creatine in muscle

The effects fibers of creatine in muscle Train for extended periods of time leads to a depletion of glycogen reserves and phosphocreatine (the form in which the creatine is stored) in the skeletal muscles. Previous research suggest that the depletion of reserves of creatine is in the slow-twitch muscle fibers (type 1) that fast (type 2) is due to depletion of glycogen, with the consequent fatigue process. However, no researcher has ever bothered to determine the concentrations of glycogen in different muscle fibers. In order to examine the changes that occur in the creatine and glycogen during a submaximal training, British researchers did male runners run 6 to 70% of VO2max. They were also made of muscle biopsies (tissue samples): at rest, after 10 minutes of training and once you reach the point of exhaustion. During the first 10 minutes of training, the process of demolition of glycogen was similar for all the muscle fibers, while only those with type 2 used significantly p...

More muscle with apple cider vinegar

More muscle with apple cider vinegar The bodybuilding workouts are fed mainly from glycogen stored in the muscle. Glycogen is nothing but a long series of repeated chains of glucose. When it needs energy glycogen is broken down by a process called glycolysis. The glycogen stored in the liver is used to maintain blood glucose levels between meals within precise because the brain and nervous system are dependent on a constant influx of glucose to keep the engines accesses. The best way to restore the depleted glycogen stores is to take carbohydrates. In fact, the speed and efficiency with which the body restores glycogen stores in muscle largely determines the pace of recovery from physical activity. In recent years many techniques have improved the normal intake of carbs after your workout to restore the levels of muscle and liver glycogen. One involves the use of a combination of carbohydrates and protein, usually with a 3:1 ratio between the carbohydrates and proteins. It wor...

The serum is always the best for building muscle

The serum is always the best for building muscle? The serum protein remains the most popular with bodybuilders. Recently, some scientists have compared the effects of fast-digesting protein (hydrolyzed whey and soy) and slow digestion (micellar casein) on mixed muscle protein synthesis, both at rest and after training with resistance training.  Eh yes, soy protein is considered a "fast" ... Three groups of healthy young men who followed a program of weight training for one leg and then drank a mixture containing 10 g of essential amino acids in the form of hydrolysed whey, micellar casein or soy protein isolated. The three beverages did not contain the same amount of protein, but rather the same dose of essential amino acids. Interesting. Well, resting mixed muscle protein synthesis was higher in subjects who had taken the proteins faster. In fact, the serum has stimulated the process more than the casein and soy (respectively 93% and 18% more). After training, the ...

Training program for bodybuilding beginners

Training program for bodybuilding beginners Before starting to Grasp a barbell Olympic and make impressive set of squats or bench press you need to do quite a bit of experience with simple exercises with the machines where the movement is controlled and the risk of injury is less than free weights. Practicing single joint exercises with the machines allows you to insulate your muscle groups, this allows to directly stimulate the muscles in preparation for multi-joint exercises such as the bench press and the squat, where it is required a good coordination of more motor units to get a good quality in 'execution. We must not forget that those who approach for the first time to the weights, or who has been away for a long period, it must give time to the nervous system to learn the correct movements and then have the time to recruit the right amount of motor units for each exercise. Prof. WJ Kraemer of the ' University of Connecticut-Storrs , regarded as one of th...
