How Do I Build Muscle
How do I build muscle?
You might have wondered ‘How do I build muscle?’
Testosterone has beneficial effect on muscular strength and size. The
medical community has also established the bodybuilding effects of Anabolic
steroids, which have been around for decades. Androgens are form of
steroids, which are synthetically manufactured to mimic the body's functional
substances. However, Guys have normal life span without their balls.
Castration is by no means fatal. Testosterone is not required for life.
So the question remains ‘How do I build muscle?’
To answer ‘How do I build muscle?’ Cortisol is required. Cortisol is the "so called" enemy of bodybuilding, which is naturally produced by the organs on top of the kidneys called the adrenal glands. If your adrenal glands fail to produce cortisol, and you do not take a synthetic replacement steroid like "Prednisone" you will surely die soon thereafter. This raises the interesting question; "Cortisol destroys muscle tissue, then why do I need it"? This life-sustaining steroid is known as a "glucocorticoid" and its function is to maintain sugar (or glucose) in the blood stream. So how does maintaining sugar answer your question ‘How do I build muscle?’
Sugar is directly related to your question ‘How do I build muscle?’ Sugar, also known as glucose or dextrose, in the blood is vital for life. The brain alone must have an impressive amount of sugar daily to function. Albeit, the brain and body can operate poorly on the acetones, which are produced by fat consumption, the first and best form of fuel is good old sugar. The human body prefers sugar and will make its own if it does not get what it prefers. When you perform those two hour-long workouts the blood stream's quantity of sugar is depleted first and then the stored sugar in the muscles is used (glycogen stores). When glycogen is depleted the body goes into a crisis state and the pituitary gland produces a chemical, which causes the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. Cortisol allows numerous amino acids in the musculature to be released for conversion to sugar by the liver. This process of making sugar from amino acids by the liver is known as gluconeogenesis. Literally interpreted as: the genesis of new sugar. This brings us closer to your question ‘How do I build muscle?’
This glucocorticoid steroid causes muscle degeneration in order to manufacture sugar, or glucose, for the brain and body, so ‘How do I build muscle?’ Once produced cortisol continues to wreak havoc on the musculature for about three hours before the liver collects it from the blood, even if we eat a meal to try to stop it. You may not wish to live with some of the effects, but you sure as hell cannot live without it. Other vital functions of natural or synthetic cortisol are inhibition of the immune system as well as maintenance of normal kidney function. "Prednisone" is a synthetic form of cortisol, but "Prednisone" is used for inflammations like rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, organ transplant rejection prevention and the like and not to make the body produce sugar. The long term of effects of man made cortisol on the body for immune function control are bad. So ‘How do I build muscle?’ with cortisol around.
‘How do I build muscle? Simple. Build muscle by controlling your natural cortisol levels by a simple procedure on your part. Have Carbohydrate intake during the workout. A sugar-containing beverage such as "Gatorade" mixed with extra sugar, will prevent much of the body's need to metabolize its own muscles in order to make sugar. Then, after your workout, take in a good-sized load of carbohydrate in order to replenish blood sugar levels and to stimulate insulin production from the pancreas, which will allow for muscle sugar (glycogen) to be replenished. This will lower the production of cortisol in your body. You ask: Processed white sugar intake, are you serious? Not for an empirical energy high, but to maintain muscular amino acid content. Lactose (in milk) and fructose (in fruit) must undergo metabolic restructuring before the body can use them. All the while cortisol must be produced to provide the immediate somatic requirements. Sucrose (white sugar) is within seconds of ingestion. This is the answer to your ‘How do I build muscle?
If you want to know ‘How do I build muscle? You must know that though Cortisol is destructive to muscles. It is destructive for a vital cause. You have to build muscle by controlling your natural cortisol levels. Consumption of refined white sugar during and following a workout prevents the need for cortisol output. It is better to understand the function and control of this muscle-eating steroid than to be simply afraid of its effects and get a meaningful answer to your question of ‘How do I build muscle?
