Gain Lean Muscle
Gain lean muscleGain lean muscle by enhancing recovery ability when chased individually or in compounds with other food elements at most health food stores. Desiccated liver tablets and powders, many feel, also increase training energy. There was a famous scientific study in which three groups of rats were fed different diets, then placed in drums of water to see how long they would swim before going under. One group was fed a normal rat diet; another, the rat diet supplemented by vitamins; and the third group, the normal lab-rat diet and all of the desiccated liver they wanted to consume. Group two swam a bit longer than group one, but group three swam about three times as long as either of the other groups. Many bodybuilders and bodybuilding authorities believe that this experiment proves that liver enhances recovery ability and improves recovery between workouts and gain lean muscles. Free-form amino acid is one of the best food supplements for promoting recuperative ability and to gain lean muscles. Five or six capsules before and after each workout will go a long way toward enhancing recovery ability between sets. You had a good, basic diet menu listed in the last chapter, and later in this chapter, I'll provide suggestions for a weight-gaining diet. To maintain an anabolic state without using steroids involves feeding enough protein and/or aminos to a bodybuilder to keep his system in a positive nitrogen balance. When you break down muscle tissue, removing the water from it, the major constituent of muscle tissue is nitrogen. By placing stress on a skeletal muscle and feeding the body with plenty of protein to keep it in positive nitrogen balance, your muscles will constantly grow larger and stronger. The best way to keep your nitrogen balance positive is to ingest plenty of free-form amino acid capsules every day. Free-form aminos rush right into the bloodstream, where they are available for assimilation into muscle tissue. weight-gaining dietFollowing is a suggested weight-gain diet to gain lean muscles, in which you should eat every 2%-3 hours: · Meal One-six-egg omelets with cheese, whole-grain toast, fruit, 1-2 glasses of milk, optional supplements · Meal Two-broiled steak, 1-2 vegetables, baked potato, 1-2 glasses of milk · Meal Three-tuna salad, 1-2 vegetables, 1-2 pieces of fruit, 1-2 glasses of milk, optional supplements · Meal Four (Pre workout)-protein drink (be sure it is made from milk-and-egg protein) · Meal Five-roast chicken, 1-2 vegetables, rice, optional supplements, 1-2 glasses of milk · Meal Six-boiled eggs, cold cuts, 1-2 glasses of milk Overall, you should consume 300-500 calories above your maintenance level each day and at least one gram of high-quality protein per pound of body weight daily. With this much food, you will be able to meet your daily energy needs and gain lean muscles. TRANSITION PERIODS While attempting to gain lean muscles with weight gain diet, it would be a tremendous shock to your system to abruptly switch from a high-calorie diet to one very low in calories. The same goes for moving from a low-cal diet to a normal, high-calorie off-season eating regimen. Therefore, you should program transitional phases lasting as much as 2-3 weeks between each major type of dietary cycle. You should also have a transitional period between contest and off-season diets in which you gradually increase calories, allowing yourself some treat you've been craving for during the controlled diet phase to gain lean muscles. |
