Muscle Building

Muscle building is the process of developing the musculature of the body through specific types of diet and physical exercise, such as weightlifting, especially for competitive exhibition. Muscle building is a balance between toning and bulking up. Fitness, attitude, nutrition, and desire are key to any muscle fitness desired results. Muscle building is just as much a mental exertion as it is a physical exertion

Our bodies are made up of 2 main types of muscle fiber: slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch fibers cannot generate large bursts of power and are utilized during prolonged activity. They have a high tolerance for endurance exercise but do not have a very high potential for increased growth. Fast twitch fibers on the other hand produce large bursts of power and are utilized during short, explosive movements. They contain a large amount of mitochondria (an area in the muscle cell where energy is produced) and have the highest potential for increases in both size and strength.

There are many benefits to building more muscle. But, building muscle to burn more calories is not a very efficient way to shed excess pounds of body fat. Everyone knows that muscle fitness is much more attractive than fat. So when you lose weight, you want to build more muscle and not just diet to lose fat. But there are other health benefits to building muscle mass that should motivate you to hit the gym.

Strength training: what's in it for you A regular, moderate program can bring these benefits:

• Stronger muscles, which in turn mean stronger bones, thus reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
• An improvement in blood cholesterol levels. Lifting weights may also help control blood pressure and blood sugar.
• Less risk of injury during other activities. It may help correct muscle weakness and imbalances and joint instability.
• Improved self-esteem and self-confidence. Added muscle and bone strength will benefit you in your daily activities, including other exercises and sports.
  
• May help with weight control. Even if you don't lose weight, you'll become trimmer and fitter.
• Reduced arthritis pain and lower-back pain.

One of the most important pieces to the muscle/bodybuilding puzzle is nutrition. Right diet and body building supplementation plan can achieve these seemingly contradictory goals. Building mass requires not only protein but also calories, especially those from carbohydrates. Calories fuel your training, and if your body doesn't have the resources to train really hard, you won't grow. The muscle-building process, in which the body adds muscle by synthesizing the protein you eat into new tissue, is an energy-demanding event as well. Again, growth can't occur without enough calories. Body building supplementation in this phase will also help you build size.
