Increased muscle cross section

As we have already found out, the fastest contracting muscle fibers, which possess glycolytic metabolism, have the largest cross section (diameter) and the greatest potential for increasing the cross section. That is why, of all the types of energy supply for muscle contraction, which was discussed earlier, for bodybuilding the most important glycolytic source of ATP recovery.

Let me remind you that two types of fast muscle fibers have such an exchange:

— FF type fibers — fast, with glycolytic metabolism;

— fibers of type FI — fast, with an approaching glycolytic type of exchange.

Now we will consider, due to which there is an increase in the cross section of the muscles. Or, more simply, due to which there is a thickening of the muscle. A muscle can thicken due to three factors:

1. thickening of muscle fibers — this phenomenon is called hypertrophy;

2. increase in the number of muscle fibers — this phenomenon is called hyperplasia;

3. increase the volume of fluid and energy substances in muscle tissue.

The greatest potential in increasing the muscle diameter has a factor of thickening of muscle fibers — hypertrophy. And the masteron prezzo thickening of the muscle fiber itself under the influence of training occurs due to an increase in the content of structural and contractile proteins in the muscle fiber.

Thus, we can say that in order for the increase in muscle mass to occur, it is necessary to increase the content of structural and contractile proteins in the muscles. The more effectively you influence the process of increasing the amount of protein in your muscles, the faster you can increase your muscle mass.

And here we come to the key issue of bodybuilding. It can be said the cornerstone of bodybuilding. So -Question of Questions: which work is optimal for increasing muscle mass? Without the correct answer to this question, it is impossible to achieve significant success in increasing muscle mass.

Whatever genetics you have — good or not, no matter how you exercise — naturally or unnaturally, using the most effective methods will allow you to realize your genetic potential most quickly and fully. This must be known and remembered. First of all — the Methodology! All other pharmacological supplements will always remain just supplements, because they are not able to replace the correct training methodology on their own.

Now we turn to the consideration of the issue, due to which there is an increase in the number of structural and contractile proteins in muscle fiber. Any training is based on one curious fact: at one time it was noticed that a depleted source of energy supply or injured tissue was not restored to its original level, but somewhat more. This phenomenon is called supercompensation or superreduction.

What gives us knowledge of this fact? First of all, the understanding that in order to ensure an increase in the content of contractile proteins in the muscles (and, as a result, an increase in muscle mass), these proteins must first be destroyed.

Once again I emphasize this point — in order to increase the amount of contractile proteins in the muscles, it is necessary to destroy them first. In other words, in simple terms, in order to increase muscle, it must first be reduced.

Along the way, I want to note that there is a deep misconception that muscles grow during training. This is completely wrong! During training, the muscles are destroyed, and they grow during rest.

During the recovery period of contractile proteins that have collapsed after training, the super-recovery phase begins, that is, an increase in the content of these proteins, which leads to an increase in the cross section of the muscle.

Supercompensation: recovery schedule

The phenomenon of supercompensation in the restoration of energy resources during the rest period:

1 — phase depletion,

2 — recovery phase,

3 — phase superreduction,

4 — phase of the hardened state
