Will Muscles Get Bigger? Here's Why Hard Muscle Training Doesn't Grow (and Why It Shrinks)
Hello everyone, I'm your loser editor, Fireman, today let's talk about why training muscles doesn't grow, but instead gets smaller. Let's see if you've fallen into these traps.
On the screen, many bodybuilders pursue perfect bodies. So they did a lot of cardiovascular training to burn off excess heat. But they still consume extra calories to provide nutrients for the body.
Cardiovascular exercise makes our bodies slimmer, which is very reasonable. If you use 400 calories of excess heat through cardiovascular training, that means you reduce 400 calories of fat in the body, or you can also take in 400 calories of protein.
However, the intensity of cardiovascular training is not unlimited. Excessive cardiovascular training will ultimately end in damage because excessive cardiovascular training may weaken our muscle groups and the body's recovery ability, which will lead to muscle tissue being used as fuel.
This process is called muscle wasting. Using larger white muscles as raw materials to provide for our smaller red muscles inside the body. This result is called overtraining. Overtraining is a long cycle. In this cycle, no matter how hard you train, you will not get any results. If you find yourself in an overtrained state, the best solution is to rest. Sometimes it takes a week or more. But as long as you scientifically and reasonably arrange the training volume, you can avoid the trap of overtraining. So you must pay attention to enough rest time and sufficient nutrition intake.
The only way to prevent overtraining is not to take extreme cardiovascular training, or excessive cardio. Remember, fitness is different from other sports. The main way to train muscles is through progressive weight training, also known as resistance training, not cardiovascular exercise.
That's all for today's sharing, if you like it, you can leave a message below, let's discuss together, don't forget to follow me, share fitness knowledge every day.
