How can I maximize my body's Muscle Growth?
Start by suppressing hormones that break down lean muscle tissue. In one study, college football players who took a supplement called beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate, or HMB, lowered their levels of the stress hormone cortisol and creatine kinase, which is a marker of muscle damage. Another study shows that taking 3 grams of HMB daily builds muscle and strength in beginning weight lifters, although it has less effect in more experienced athletes. EAS makes a pre-workout supplement called Muscle Armor that contains amino acids and HMB. It may stunt cortisol before your workout and help you recover faster afterward, keeping you in a constant anabolic, or muscle-building, state. Another way to boost your body's natural growth hormones is by cycling your workouts according to the following plan. Alternate between these two phases to unleash a flood of hormones for a leaner and more muscular body.
Phase 1 (Weeks 1 through 4): Do three to five sets of 10 to 15 repetitions of all your upper- and lower-body exercises. Training at a high volume can push your lactate threshold higher, improving your natural production of growth hormone.
Phase 2 (Weeks 5 through 8): Reduce your volume but increase your intensity--complete four to six sets of three to six reps of all your major exercises. Lifting heavier weights for fewer repetitions triggers more testosterone release.
