Recovery For Massive Gains (Full Workout Plan)

 

Muscle size increases when a person continually challenges the muscles to deal with higher levels of resistance or weight. This process is known as muscle hypertrophy.

Muscle hypertrophy occurs when the fibers of the muscles sustain damage or injury. The body repairs damaged fibers by fusing them, which increases the mass and size of the muscles.

Certain hormones, including testosterone, human growth hormone, and insulin growth factor, also play a role in muscle growth and repair.

 

These hormones work by:

  • improving how the body processes proteins
  • inhibiting the breakdown of protein
  • activating satellite cells, which are a type of stem cell that plays a role in muscle development
  • stimulating anabolic hormones, which promote muscle growth and protein synthesis
  • enhancing tissue growth

Strength and resistance training can help the body:

  • release growth hormone from the pituitary gland
  • stimulate testosterone release
  • improve the sensitivity of the muscles to testosterone

Do males and females grow muscle differently?

A variety of factors— including genetics and the levels of estrogen and testosterone in the body — can affect how rapidly a person can develop muscle.

Regardless of biological sex, muscle grows at different rates for people with different body types.

Both males and females can have the following body shapes, and each requires a different approach to muscle building:

  • Mesomorphic: People with this body type tend to be muscular and generally build muscle mass far more quickly than people with other body types.
  • Ectomorphic: This term describes a slim or straight frame. Ectomorphs have a lower chance of building muscle mass but can increase their strength through resistance training.
  • Endomorphic: This body type is more rounded or curvy. People with an endomorphic body can build muscle most effectively through strength training.
Building Muscle Through Excersize

People build muscle at different rates depending on their age, sex, and genetics, but muscle development significantly increases if exercise is:

  • consistent
  • challenging
  • long-term

People also achieve the best results when they follow exercise with enough rest.

The best type of exercise to build muscle is strength training, although cardiovascular activity can also provide benefits.

Strength training

It takes several weeks or months of consistent activity and exercise before muscle changes become visible.

Adults should engage in muscle-strengthening exercises that involve all major muscle groups at least twice weekly.

Examples of strength training activities include:

  • lifting free weights
  • using stationary weight machines
  • resistance band activities
  • body Weight exercises, such as pushups and squats
  • strength training classes that incorporate some or all of the above activities

 

Cardiovascular activity

Also known as aerobic activity or simply “cardio,” cardiovascular exercise benefits a person’s heart and respiratory system.

Cardio is vital for overall health. Current guidelines recommend that adults participate in at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity physical activity each week.

While some people believe that aerobic exercise does not help build muscle, recent research disagrees. Regular cardio can support muscle growth and function. It also increases overall fitness levels, which may help reduce the risk of injury.

For optimal muscle building, I suggest that people carry out aerobic exercise:

  • at 70–80% of their heart rate reserve, which a person can calculate by subtracting their resting heart rate from their maximum heart rate
  • for 30–45 minutes at a time
  • on 3-4 days per week

Rest plays an integral part in building muscle. By not letting each of the muscle groups rest, a person will reduce their ability to repair. Insufficient rest also slows fitness progression and increases the risk of injury.

giving each muscle group, a complete 48 hours of rest will repair from the muscle tissue from the intense training session given to the muscle group.

Getting enough sleep is also important for the process of muscle growth.  not getting enough sleep will decreases protein synthesis, contributes to the loss of muscle mass, and inhibits muscle recovery.

Here Is My Ultimate Workout, 9 Day Routine For Mass 

  • Every  Workout will be started with at least 6 Minutes of stair master or treadmill.
  • Also any Upper body part pushing or pulling will be started with attention to warming up rotator  cuffs ( 2 sets of 20 rotations, forward and back wards move arms like a windmill) 
  • Also No Cardio on Leg Day 
  • Everything is to be done heavy as possible, granted you've warmed up appropriately and you are not in dedicated to use weights to warm up ,if you don't want to.
  • You should be consuming at least 50 grams of carbs during your workout. if unflavored mix a Bcaa with it, for ultimate recovery. Try to finish your intra workout shake 30 minutes before you are done training. 
  • don't forget your daily creatine at least 5 grams . I personally like to take mine before my workout. i mix it with my workout.
  • Bcaa should be taken at least twice a day
