Training Techniques: Training The Largest muscles (Part 1)
July 5, 2008 – 3:44 amTo 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 muscles are an integral part of the physiology and mechanisms of your entire body, i.e. they do not work on their own, and the ENTIRE body is placed under stress and the need for growth and recuperation is generated; for example, you need the digestion in your stomach to supply your muscles with nutrients, and there will be a greater demand for nutrients from very large growing muscles, and so your stomach, for example, could well adapt and become more efficient at digesting food, i.e. the entire body adapts including the muscles. The effects of training ARE that far-reaching.
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.
Water tops the list though in components that our body needs especially when under heavy training and taking on a high protein diet. The muscle mass can be divided up into 70% water and 30% protein, showing just how necessary water really is. It also helps our body to flush out waste products and more important of all is that it reduces the amount of stress released on the kidneys. (Coming soon Part 2)
