It takes raw materials - carbohydrates, protein and fat - to build new muscle mass and support recovery. Increasing your calories by 50% (from 3.0000 to 4500 per day, for example) for three days can stimulate growth while adding little or no bodyfat. The key is to limit the increase in calories a period of three designated days, you will be able to stimulate growth by enhancing insulin sensitivity of muscles, and by giving more carbohydrates for the storage of glycogen. If you are in a state overtrained - and if you do not earn any new muscle mass, which is certainly the case - the extra calories encourage anabolism before storing fat can kick in That’s why you want to limit the increase to 50% within three days. After this period, your return to the typical dose of daily calories, you have stimulated new growth without adding unwanted fat.

Anabolism depends on an excess of calories. As you know, bodybuilders eat four to six times a day to increase the absorption of nutrients and to provide an influx of carbohydrates, protein and fat. Expansion on the four to six meals a day is expected to include a protein drink in the middle of the night, which can encourage additional growth. Glutamine EFX, supplying 30 grams of protein and carbohydrates as well as the “big three” (see tip # 10), is a good option for this late at night, the infusion of nutrients.

Your muscles respond to the formation of three ways. When you lead with many reps (over 15), there is an increase in stamina, without a substantial improvement in the size or strength. The six to twelve rep range - the range that all major bodybuilders rely on - favours an increase in the size and strength. Powerlifters generally remain low with representatives from two to four per package, which supplements the force with slight variations in size. However, if you set aside a week of training on the job with the weight of weak representatives from the improved strength will make you stronger when you return to the six and twelve representatives routine. The formula is: More power, more tension in the muscle equals more growth.
