@fitlifeofcam in her black dbgear booty shorts! Regrann from @fitlifeofcam - M U S C L E G R O W T H: . What is it? What causes it? How do we increase it? . Skeletal muscle is composed of thread-like myofibrils & sarcomeres that form a muscle fiber and are the basic units of contraction. . The growth itself actually happens AFTER the workout. . The body works to repair or replace the damaged muscle fibers through a cellular process where it fuses the muscle fibers together to form new myofibrils. . These repaired myofibrils increase in thickness & number to create muscle growth! . This growth only occurs when the rate of muscle protein synthesis is greater than the rate of muscle protein breakdown. . Three mechanisms to cause muscle growth: 1️⃣ Muscle Tension -you need to apply a load of stress that is greater than what your body/muscles are used to. -how: lift progressively heavier weights 2️⃣Muscle Damage -“soreness” -local muscle damage causes a release of inflammatory molecules & immune system cells which activate satellite cells. Satellite cells add more nuclei to muscle cells when activated (increasing size of cells). 3️⃣Metabolic Stress -“pump in the gym” -metabolic stress causes cell swelling around the muscle, due to the addition of muscle glycogen. . Are you looking to increase muscle growth? . For muscle breakdown & growth to occur you need to force your muscles to adapt by creating stress that’s different than the previous threshold your body is already adapted to! (Progressive overload)! . . . . #flexfriday #scientistswholift #musclegrowth #muscles - #regrann #girlswholift #strong #dbgear #gear #fitness #vt #dbgear #fitness #fit #fitspo #strongwomen #girlswithmuscle #apparel #style #quality #inpiration #fitspiration #instafit #girls #female #gym #bodybuilding #figure

Did you know less caffeine is absorbed from gum or a capsule than from a drink? So if you chew gum with 100mg caffeine, you're only getting 77mg. With an energy strip, you're consuming the whole thing, not spitting it out, so you'd absorb almost all the caffeine. Today my #energydrinkoftheday is actually an energy strip from @eliteopsenergy. (100mg caffeine per strip) 🤓💚🔬You can follow my daily caffeine picks and all my Science Behind Energy Drink Ingredients posts at Facebook.com/EnergyDrinkGuide and on Instagram. #energydrinkindisguise #energy #caffeine #morningworkout #dyk #fyi #tipsfortuesday #sciencenerd #nerdswholift #biochemistry #scientistswholift #foodscientist #foodscience #scienceofenergydrinks #energydrinkingredients #energydrink #scienceofenergydrinks #energystrips (at Planet Fitness)

FIGURE PREP! I'm hungry, tired&sore but I feel INVIGORATED! (thank you #sugarfree #redbull!) I'm slimming down and the muscles are popping out like seashells emerging from sand.
