Yatsun Rostyslav “Nutrition and Training”
🎃2025
▫️The second type of training is hypertrophy training (muscle development). Your task in this case is to perform an exercise for a specific muscle group or a single muscle, and it is MANDATORY(!) to push past the pain threshold (to do it “through impossibility”) and perform one, or preferably several, repetitions beyond what you were capable of before. This is the ONLY way to develop – to do what you couldn’t do before. In this case, you are signaling to your body that you need to develop a specific muscle because you are consistently (and the regularity of training also matters) reaching your current maximum capabilities, and it (the muscle) needs to adapt to reality and grow. However, without proper nutrition, development is IMPOSSIBLE. Because in the gym, you only give the signal for growth, but the growth itself happens outside the gym, thanks to the suitable nutrients (food) you provide. I’ll draw an analogy. Even if you have the best builder in the world, but you haven’t given them building materials – construction won’t start. NUTRITION is the foundation of foundations. Energy, development, and recovery of the body are impossible without proper nutrition. And with insufficient nutrition – degradation of the body is likely. And even if you don’t train, your body constantly needs the right nutrients to regenerate what it already has! Hair, skin, internal organs, nerves, hormones – ABSOLUTELY everything requires specific and concrete nutrients for self-regeneration. Next time, I will explain how strength grows. Because although hypertrophy and strength are related, there are nuances.
