mtor
Are you familiar with mTOR and the effect it has on muscle growth? This article looks at the science showing the critical role mTOR plays in muscle protein synthesis, muscle, repair, and hypertrophy.
What do you do after a workout? Hopefully, you reach for a recovery snack that contains protein. Here are three, compelling reasons you need protein and amino acids after a workout.
What is leucine and what impact does it have on muscle growth? As it turns out, leucine may have several benefits that speak to the needs of people who strength train. Find out why.
Regardless of your fitness goals, you probably do some type of training that gets your heart rate up. Yet, not all forms of cardio are created equal. There’s some thought that certain types can interfere with strength and hypertrophy gains. Is there any truth to this?
How much time to you devote to strength training relative to cardio? For some people, the ratio is far too low. This article discusses what happens to your body when you do cardiovascular exercise without devoting time to strength training.
Building muscle is challenging, especially for women. A number of factors make it harder – inappropriate exercise routines and poor nutrition. In addition, a study showed having a higher percentage of body fat could make it harder to build muscle tissue. Find out why.
To build muscle, you have to create the right conditions for hypertrophy to occur. There’s a protein called mTOR that plays an important role in muscle protein synthesis. When this protein is turned on, protein synthesis occurs. Find out how diet and the type of exercise you do influences this protein and makes it easier or harder to build lean body mass.
