Train the Same Muscle Two Days in a Row? – You CAN train the same muscle group two days in a row. This method of double stimulation prolongs muscle protein synthesis, leads to enhanced feedback in muscle, and triggers greater muscle responsiveness. The second session is there to enhance the...

Every once in a while, we get a study that either confirms or helps direct bodybuilding practices. This is one of those studies. - These researchers found that eating every 3-hours was more effective at maintaining protein synthesis rates over a 12-hour period than eating a smaller protein dose...

Does chewing impact the digestion and absorption of your food? ⁣ ⁣ ⏱Different types of protein can have different digestion speeds, which is an important factor for the muscle protein synthetic response (the muscle growth response). However, protein digestion speed may not only depend on the...

NPB = MPS – MPBSo what does this equation mean? Net Protein Balance (skeletal muscle mass, for our purposes here) = Muscle Protein Synthesis – Muscle Protein Breakdown. Net protein balance (NPB) is defined as muscle protein synthesis (MPS) minus muscle protein breakdown (MPB), or NPB = MPS –...

For general health purposes, few supplements appear more effective than berberine. Berberine has been shown several times over to reduce cholesterol and improve insulin sensitivity in both rodent and human studies. However, when considering bodybuilding application, berberine has been shown to...

theguerrillachemist This is another study showing the importance of all 9 EAA for muscle protein synthesis. Interestingly, the authors reported that ∼20 g of isolated egg protein (containing ∼8.6 g EAAs and ∼1.7 g leucine) stimulated muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise above that...

Peptides: Why advancing peptide science and technology should be a priority<time class="entry-date updated td-module-date" datetime="2019-07-09T14:28:28+00:00" style="box-sizing: border-box;">July 9, 2019 Paula Gomes, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Senior Researcher in Bioorganic and...

While the, “Anabolic Window,” is certainly wider than initially thought, studies do show that this window is much smaller in trained individuals than untrained individuals. And this particular study found this effect after only 8-weeks of training! Therefore, highly-trained individuals may...

MPS (muscle #proteinsynthesis or #myofibrillarprotein synthesis) is a measure of how your muscles take up protein from the blood at add to their mass. . After a workout when protein is consumed, many studies use MPS to draw conclusions about where something is good or bad for increasing muscle...

Protein blends are becoming a popular choice for protein supplements, and for good reason. This study found that blending whey and casein proteins led to better gains throughout a 10-week training protocol compared to just whey protein alone. This could be due to the combination of the large...

Protein synthesis rate appears to drop about 3-hours after a meal, even though there’s still plenty of amino acids available for growth. This is probably due to the lower energy status of the muscle cell during this period. When a muscle cell is running low on energy, it will reduce protein...

You cannot force progression! You must use intelligent structure 💪 - 👉Tag a friend who needs patience - It seem that training volume is likely the biggest driver of muscle hypertrophy and you need to increase it to keep gaining muscle… however, there is an upper limit to how much you can do and...

This study found that 20-40g of protein post-workout was more effective than 0 or 10g at increasing protein synthesis in trained individuals. If gaining muscle mass is your goal, adequate protein intake is incredibly important - consuming less than optimal amounts of protein can impair your...

This study compared the effects of consuming 25g of protein to 25g of protein plus alcohol after a workout. It was found that consuming alcohol after a workout severely impaired post-workout muscle protein synthesis. If your goal is to gain muscle, avoid alcohol after your workout and consume...

HOW MUCH DAILY PROTEIN INTAKE IS REQUIRED TO BUILD MUSCLE?by ProSource Product Research Team Here at ProSource, in all our years of hearing from and advising athletes, probably the most common question we hear is this: Why am I not getting bigger? (Which is to say, more muscular. Hardly...

Previous work has shown that taking some extra protein before sleep might increases muscle mass gains. . 🥛Our new study suggests that you probably want a relative large dose before going to bed for stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS, the process that drives muscle growth) during the...

A large body of evidence shows creatine supplementation is beneficial for *slightly* increasing muscle growth in strength training individuals [1-3]. This likely is the result of a sustained improvement in training performance through enhanced ATP synthesis. - ATP is a source of energy for...

A*lot of debate surrounds the amount of protein you should take post-workout. Learn the optimal amount of protein to ingest post workout for your goals. * * Of all the topics that spur*epic online debates,*post workout protein*consumption might take the cake. Carbohydrates and*ketogenic...

The scientific word for muscle growth is hypertrophy. This basically means that the cells (muscle fibers) in your muscles and the stuff between the cells get bigger. (1). This is different from hyperplasia, which is an increase in the number of muscle fibers in a muscle. You muscle fibers are...

Should you be consuming protein before you go to bed? And if so, what types of protein will optimize muscle growth? Read on to learn about pre-bed protein. Of all the factors associated with muscle growth, the single biggest barrier to*building lean mass*could be adequate protein consumption...
