Hardgainer Supplement Tip To Build More Muscle By Jeff Anderson "The Muscle Nerd"
You've probably heard the term "you are what you eat", right?
But it's not exactly what you EAT that counts, but what you USE from what you eat.
And this couldn't be more true for skinny "hardgainers' who have a hard time growing muscle!
Why?
Because you can eat all the protein you want, but unless it makes it to your muscles to help them rebuild, you'll continue to look more like Olive Oil than Popeye!
You see, "skinny" men and women tend to have an overabundance of the "stress hormone", cortisol.
Cortisol actually plays a useful role in our bodies but for hardgainers, its catabolic effects are a real hassle as it inhibits important protein synthesis.
That means less protein available for repair of muscle tissue...less size...and MORE frustration!
Add to this that the digestion of proteins actually burns more calories than any other nutrient and you can see why you CAN'T follow the same "protein plan" as others who can gain muscle more easily.
Now you may think that digestive enzymes (that include either pepsin, papain, or papaya) are just for sandal-wearing hippies who smell like patchouli...but you'd be mistaken!
In fact, digestive enzymes help to breakd down nutrients from the food you eat into usable energy.
But another finding dug deeper and found that enzymes improved the absorption of amino acids and increased nitrogen retention.
In a recent clinical study, respondents who consumed digestive enzymes with their meals showed an increase in protein synthesis with free amino acid levels up by 100%...branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) by 250%...and nitrogen retention by 32%!
In short...MUCH better support for muscle repair and growth.
And enzymes can be especially useful for hardgainers in yet one more way...
Since protein uses up more calories in digestion, enzymes can speed up the process, reducing the "thermic effect" of ingested proteins and help you better maintain a caloric surplus for weight gain!
Look for a good digestive enzyme at your local supplement store or order online.
So what's an ordinary guy to do if he wants to see results?
This program is focused entirely on helping the guys for whom gaining muscle mass is a seemingly impossible task.
HPX incorporates an interesting modification of the "rest-pause" technique. Another "out of the ordinary" aspect of HPX is that it does not call for training to failure.
