If you're just starting out and you want to build muscle fast, you'll Find This Small Change Easier. But Old Muscleheads Can Do It Too!
If you want to build muscle, and gain weight, they are one in the same and go hand in hand. And with all of the work involved in the first place, it'd be a shame to hold yourself back, due to 'bad information.'
Before you get too 'experienced' of a weightlifter to ever consider anything 'new,' consider how just this one small change can help you build muscle faster, by achieving fast muscle weight gain, post-workout... easily!
So many of your key, individual, target results are based on what you eat and drink post-workout that it simply can't be ignored. With this in mind, many people make it a habit to drink protein drinks, usually soy, after workouts to give their muscles the building blocks to construct the increased growth they desire.
This is good news for those of you who find it hard to gain muscle fast. If you're anything like me, you've not been blessed with good bodybuilding genetics. This can be a pain at times, but not the end of the story.
A team of researchers at McMaster University's Department of Kinesiology, recently published in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition," findings that suggest that if young men consume only skim milk (two cups) after each of their workouts, they would gain almost twice as much muscle in ten weeks, than if they drank the same amount of protein as a soy drink.
According to Stuart Phillips, associate professor of kinesiology: "This is an interesting finding, since soy and milk proteins are considered to be complete proteins that are basically equivalent from a nutritional standpoint. Our findings clearly show that milk proteins are a superior source of protein in producing muscle mass gains in response to weightlifting."
This approach was recently unveiled by researchers first by researchers in France. The research by McMaster's University serves as a sort of 'empirical' confirmation that it's more beneficial to drink two cups of skim milk, post-workout, for weight gain than to hope to build muscle by drinking soy protein.
Researchers seem to agree that it may be the whey and casein, the two main types of protein inherent in cow's milk, that offer the additional benefit. There's good logic behind this thinking too, as young calves increase so much in weight within their first year, due to the casein in their mother's milk.
This significant of an increase in post-workout muscle gain is considerable, especially in as short of a time frame as ten weeks. There's nothing more motivational than the achievement of positive, visible results, and that's not to even mention the effect on other people's attitudes towards, and their admiration of you.
Picture in your mind, if you will, the effect of nearly doubling your muscle mass, within just twelve weeks: You'll find it easier to pick up chicks, your buddies will be jealous, and you'll have more energy and confidence. More potential competitors will give you less and less trouble. And since this is real muscle growth from your efforts to build muscle, and not muscle gain, from steroids, you'll find yourself even more proud to be in shape.
So try dropping the soy proteins for a short bit. Take some 'before' pictures. Measure the girth of your target areas. And give yourself a few weeks on the new milk regimen. Oh yeah...Come back and tell us all if this helps.
