Training Techniques: Training Up Big Muscles (Part 1)
To get optimum conditions resulting in a highly anabolic environment within the body, it is important to train the muscles on the biggest of the body’s muscles paying attention to aspects of training and stimulation. Some good examples here would be squats, deadlift, and leg-pressing as these would force the thigh, hip and lower back muscles, due to the fact that they are the largest muscle mass in the body. The resulting in not only these masses growing through intensive training stress but also other muscle areas within the body.
These large muscle areas play an integral part regards physiology and mechanisms throughout the whole body. They need support from smaller muscles in order to perform correctly which in turn creates the need for growth and recuperation to be generated in these muscles areas too. Examples of support muscles are the stomach which is needed for digesting the nutrients required by the muscles. This action will increase as the muscles grow so your stomach ends up adapting itself to these new needed requirements as it become more efficient. It is amazing what power training has over our body and just how well it can adapt to new needs.
The effect of stress placed on our body is clearly at it’s peak while going under a maximum period of intensive training on these larger bodily muscular regions. This then leads to creating a highly anabolic environment within the whole of our body. In turn the body reacts in producing growth and repair of muscle tissue throughout the body on both larger and smaller muscle areas.
The Importance of Protein and Water… The primary factor for our body to be able to adapt to training stress is to take in sufficient quantities of proteins and carbs. Normally people tend to go high on proteins and low on carbs but everyone is different, so you will just have to experiment a bit and see what works best.
Also as I have mentioned before, water is a vital component in the diet, and you can’t really get enough of it when in heavy training and consuming plenty of protein. Not only does it serve the most important purpose of being the most abundant constituent of muscle (muscle cells are 70% water, with the rest being mostly protein), but large amounts of water also helps to flush waste products from your system, and helps avoid stress on the kidneys in this way.
