What are the relationship between male fitness and muscle gain

To put it simply, male fitness is a necessary trigger for muscle growth, but the relationship between the two is by no means a linear relationship of "training will inevitably lead to muscle growth." The final muscle growth effect depends on the coordination of training methods, hormone foundation, dietary supplements, rest and recovery. Any difference in the three dimensions will easily lead to wasted work.

I met a guy who works in the backend a while ago. He went to the gym for two hours on time every day after get off work. After three months of training, his arm circumference was still the same as before, 32cm, and he was almost in emo. When I asked him, I found out that he had to run for 40 minutes to do aerobic fat brushing after lifting weights.

If you just go to a commercial gym and spend two hours at home, you will find that a lot of people have the wrong relationship between fitness and muscle building. They either think that they can grow by just moving, and all movements rely on swinging the waist to use force. After practicing for half a year, the bench press weight is still at the empty bar, and the muscles have not even received basic mechanical tension stimulation, so there is no growth;

The most controversial topic in the fitness circle now is the upper limit of muscle gain in natural fitness. Nature enthusiasts who have practiced for five or six years often think that as long as they accumulate enough training capacity, it is not a dream to reach an arm circumference of 50 in ten years. They will also use the comparison chart of themselves from being thin to strong as evidence; but most of the veterans of competitions will pour cold water on the secretion level of natural testosterone in men. Just put it there, without being familiar with technology, being able to gain 2-3 pounds of pure muscle every year is already in the first echelon of talent. For ordinary people, if they can gain 20 pounds of pure muscle at the peak of their training, it is enough to become a "big guy" in the circle of friends. Those who have low body fat and an arm circumference of over 50 are basically not included in the discussion of ordinary fitness. The muscle-building efficiency of the two is not of the same order of magnitude.

In fact, you don’t have to compare speed with others. A little brother I brought up before who just graduated is 178cm tall and only 110 pounds. He has a typical ectomorphic physique. He has poor absorption and gets diarrhea when he eats too much. When I first started training, I was very anxious and asked me every day why there was no change at all after half a month of training. Later, I adjusted the plan for him, every week 5. Practice differentiation, focusing on compound movements to build capacity. After each practice, he immediately eats two meat buns and mixes a spoonful of protein powder. I force him to go to bed before 11 o'clock at night. Just follow the step by step, he has gained 12 pounds in three months, and the shoulder line of the previous T-shirt has been stretched out. The last time I saw him, he said that he can bench press 70kg for a set recently, and he is in very good condition.

To put it bluntly, it is actually easy to understand. Building muscle is like sending a "growth order" to your muscles. The process of fitness is to knock on the door and hand over the order. Are you knocking on the door hard enough (the training capacity is not reached), have you prepared enough building materials for the workers (can the nutrition keep up), and have you given the orders to the workers? Allowing enough time for work (insufficient rest and recovery), and even the efficiency of the workers themselves (whether the hormone foundation is good) will all affect the final delivery results. If you fail to keep up with any step, even if you spend time squatting in the gym every day, you will not be able to achieve much in terms of muscle gain.
