MUSCLE EXERCISES
Many college athletes ask how they can “increase volume” for confronting members stronger and bigger, their own team or competition. Strengthen your athletes know the critical components to gain muscle mass: strength training and calories.
Add calories to add muscle
If the main objective is to increase the size of muscles, athletes need to work with a strength training program challenging and “fill” your daily food intake with 500 to 1000 calories. With calories from the three macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein and fat), the body can use proteins obtained from food to build muscles. But if the athlete does not consume enough calories the body’s protein reserves are used as energy and muscle gain is limited. Contrary to what most athletes believe, the amount of extra calories needed for lean muscle mass does not have to come exclusively from the protein.
The protein is only part of power
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Although proteins provide amino acids to promote muscle growth and recovery of strength training, the most important macronutrient for building muscles are carbohydrates. Adequate intake of carbohydrate loading to the body with the ideal form of energy for stronger workouts and saves amino acids for muscle building and recovery.
