How to be fit
One article suggested that you train arms six days a week. Such training is guaranteed to lead to muscle catabolism, reflected by a loss of size and strength. Writers of such drivel are living in their own world, and it’s significant that they never show the gains they or their clients made on such “super” routines.
A recent rat study clearly illustrates what happens when you get a bit overenthusiastic about your training. The authors note that muscle gains result when exercise activates certain hormonal and signaling factors in muscle. If all goes well, muscle protein synthesis is increased, leading to muscle gains. The initial recovery of trained muscle also has an inflammatory component, however, and while inflammation is initially necessary to clear out muscle debris and so on, it can be counterproductive if it persists for an extended time. Indeed, a major component of the loss of muscle with age is out-of-control inflammation, setting the stage for catabolic processes that lead to a loss of muscular size and strength.
