Find out how you can accelerate the process of gaining muscle mass in bodybuilding without harm to your health and maintaining the achieved result. In the past century, scientists have established that genes control all processes in the human body. Hormones are just their stimulants. The body contains a large number of enzymes, which are not only mediators between cellular structures and hormones (as previously assumed), but control biological evolution. Thus, if you learn to influence certain genes, you can achieve amazing results, including in sports. Today we will look at the main stimulants of muscle growth in bodybuilding.
Energy stimulants
No matter how you feel about the feeling of "muscle joy", but it significantly affects the growth of muscles. Scientists were able to find out that people can feel euphoria from physical exertion at those moments when the body is actively synthesizing neurohormones, for example, dopamine, serotonin, epinephorin, etc.
For the synthesis of these substances, the substance tetrahydrobiopterin is used. To date, it has been synthesized and can be purchased under the name Kuwan. First of all, this drug should be used by people who have problems with the secretion of neurohormones from birth (genetic defect). When athletes use Tetrahydrobiopterin, they are able to feel a surge of mental strength and accelerate fat burning.
It should be noted that this is a rather expensive drug, but now scientists are working on a cheaper analogue, created on the basis of the milk of bee queens. It managed to find biopterin, which stimulates the production of tetrahydrobiopterin in the human body. In addition, you can take queen bee milk with niacin and zinc to accelerate the production of neurohormones.
Muscle Growth Nitrogen Donators
Now on the sports food market, nitric oxide donators are actively sold. As you know, nitric oxide, or NO, is produced by the body from arginine and helps to increase the lumen of blood vessels, which increases the speed of blood flow and, as a result, improves the quality of tissue nutrition, including muscle. If you use nitrogen donors before starting training, then you can significantly increase the pumping effect. But NO has a short lifespan and decomposes rather quickly. This fact is the main reason that the vessels dilate for a short time and the anabolic effect is short-lived. But in terms of its strength, it is quite comparable to the work of the AAS. Steroids increase the number of androgen-type receptors, which are relatively few during normal body functioning, because the male hormone is synthesized in small quantities. It should also be remembered that a limited number of testosterone molecules can penetrate into the cellular structures of tissues. If the vessels are dilated over a long period of time, the number of androgen-type receptors will increase, as with the use of AAS.
Many sports experts believe that today nitrogen donors are one of the most essential types of sports nutrition for athletes. During strength training, the vessels in the muscles are pinched, which significantly impairs blood flow. All this time, the tissues are deprived of adequate nutrition, which negatively affects their growth. Now work is underway to create a prolonged nitrogen donor, and glycocarn looks the most promising. This drug is composed of a complex compound called glycine.
Stimulants against pain
Strength training heavily loads the articular-ligamentous apparatus, which leads to the development of inflammatory processes and the appearance of pain. It should be remembered that the popular drug Ibuprofen slows down muscle growth and is contraindicated for bodybuilders.
To prevent damage to the articular-ligamentous apparatus, athletes are advised to take supplements containing glucosamine, chondroitin, and fish oil. However, they are not able to relieve joint pain. Today, the drug Oligoflex is already being produced, which is able to effectively eliminate pain in the joints, as well as fight inflammatory processes.
Myostatin blockers for muscle growth
To limit the growth of muscles, a special protein compound is synthesized in our body - myostatin. It slows down the production of proteins, which leads to a cessation of muscle growth. Since genes control the production of myostatin, scientists have tried to find them. As a result, excellent results were obtained during the experiment on rats, and the total muscle growth in the experimental animals was about 400 percent.
However, one should not rejoice, since today myostatin blockers accelerate the growth of all muscles, including the heart. At large sizes, the organ loses its ability to function normally. However, this problem led scientists to the idea that it is necessary to act not on the gene, but on the protein compound myostatin itself. Now work on such a drug is actively underway, but fakes periodically appear on the market. Remember that no workable myostatin blockers have been developed yet.
Ecdysteroids - muscle growth stimulants
Several plants have found an effective way to control insects. They produce substances similar to insect hormones. As a result, the larvae, receiving a large dose of hormonal substances, quickly develop and die. It is these substances that are called ecdysteroids.
Some of these substances are very similar in structure to androstenedione - the main precursor of male and female sex hormones. After a series of experiments, it was found that ecdysteroids are able to activate androgen-type receptors, which makes it possible to use them as stimulators of muscle growth in bodybuilding. Supplements containing ecdysteroids are commercially available today. They contribute to an increase in the rate of muscle growth, although they are significantly inferior in the effectiveness of AAS.
