MUSCLE GROWTH THEORIES (WHY DO THEY GROW)
Do you know what makes your muscles grow? Most people will say yes. Weight-lifting exercises. Unfortunately, this is a bird’s-eye view of the matter, since a tie layer deals with heavy weights daily, but doesn’t get any bigger. Even biochemists who study muscle cell growth cannot unambiguously say what makes our muscles grow. And this is very sad because different explanations of this process, longed-for for any bodybuilder, suggest different roads to result. In other words, if we knew exactly what makes our muscles grow, we could better develop our training and recovery.
WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT WE DON’T
By and large, we know the INPUT and we know the OUTPUT, but we don’t know what’s going on with muscle growth in between. We all know that WORKOUT disrupts homeostasis (THIS IS INPUT) and this may lead to muscle growth through protein synthesis (THIS IS OUTPUT).
We even know that protein synthesis is triggered by a number of factors that affect nuclear DNA. The ultimate impact scheme is quite simple: a certain “muscle protein layout template” is created based on DNA information. This “template” is called messenger RNA. Once created, it leaves the nucleus (with DNA) into the cell itself, where it builds protein molecules. Your cells are growing. Your muscles are growing.
