To get optimum conditions resulting in a highly anabolic environment within the body, it is important to train the muscles on the biggest of the body's muscles paying attention to aspects of training and stimulation. Some good examples here would be squats, deadlift, and leg-pressing as these would force the thigh, hip and lower back muscles, due to the fact that they are the largest muscle mass in the body. The resulting in not only these masses growing through intensive training stress but also other muscle areas within the body.

The whole physiology and mechanisms throughout our entire body evolves round these larger muscle areas, which in turn depends on the smaller muscles for support leading to these other muscles needing growth and recuperation. One of the most important support muscles is the stomach which has to increase the digestion rate as it is having to deal with the extra nutrients required by our muscles. As this action continues and increases, the stomach is able to adapt as it too becomes stronger and more efficient. The power of training is a mystery at times but when you can really understand how your body works, then you can really appreciate just how amazing it is.

The effect of stress placed on our body is clearly at it's peak while going under a maximum period of intensive training on these larger bodily muscular regions. This then leads to creating a highly anabolic environment within the whole of our body. In turn the body reacts in producing growth and repair of muscle tissue throughout the body on both larger and smaller muscle areas.

The Importance of Protein and Water... In order for your body to adapt to training stress, it is vital that you are ingesting enough protein and carbohydrate. Most people find that a high protein diet, with lower relative carbohydrate levels, is better for them: this is something that you have to experiment with for yourself.

Water though is probably the most important component that is required by our body and is most needed when training hard and accompanied by a high protein diet. Water as a component is about 70% of muscle mass as to 30% protein. It plays a crucial role in the elimination of waste products and reduces the stress placed on our kidneys. (Coming soon Part 2)
