Anabolism and Catabolism play a key role in the cycle of Muscle Building

What is anabolism and catabolism

Many bodybuilders in the cycle of muscle building still feel muscle growth and loss after using Sarms and Steroids.Let’s understand the reasons for these phenomena, so that we can better combine training and use of Sarms and Steroids in the cycle of Muscle Building to create a perfect body.

Biologically speaking, human life is defined by metabolism. The process of converting matter into energy and energy into matter makes biology superior to any mechanical device. In every minute of life, the human body will renew itself. Substances in the form of air, food, water, carbon dioxide and waste are constantly entering and leaving the human body. Anabolism is the process of creating substances. Catabolism is the process of substances being decomposed and discharged from the body.

The balance between anabolism and catabolism regulates human body fat, muscle mass, aging speed and overall health status. Anabolism and catabolism are essential for human survival. These two processes cooperate, stimulate and strengthen each other.

Principle of negative feedback control

Many  factors is necessary to maintain life. Anabolism and Catabolism are naturally regulated by negative feedback mechanism in human body. Negative feedback control is the most effective biological control mode, which regulates the balance between the two relative factors. Many life functions of the body, such as blood glucose regulation, blood pressure stabilization, nutrient assimilation and stimulation of hormone synthesis. They are all based on negative feedback control.

Most life processes exist in the form of cycles. The body maintains its homeostasis (optimal and balanced metabolic environment) through the negative feedback control system. This negative feedback control system continues to change among relatively resistant factors, thus affecting our survival ability. Anabolism and catabolism are mutually regulated by many of these negative feedback loops. Hormone levels, cellular energy levels, and overall nutritional status can all indicate your body status. Your body is repairing tissues, destroying, reusing, burning, or expelling substances. Simply put, according to the negative feedback control of the body.

Anabolism and catabolism  in the cycle of Muscle Building

Strength training during Muscle building  is actually a catabolic activity, which can tear muscle fibers. At the same time, this catabolic activity will start the anabolic process and repair and build stronger muscles to cope with greater loads.

Because of this, novices who have just started Muscle building are likely to feel the rapid growth of muscle and strength. Interestingly, when a person’s anabolic potential reach the maximum, the opposite may occur. After long-term training, bodybuilders and weightlifters have reached the peak of muscle development, and they are most likely to experience muscle loss or growth stagnation. And those who like to exercise and have muscle loss can surprisingly recover to the peak level because of the so-called “muscle memory”.

Obviously, the body has its own muscle mass set point, and it will try to maintain this set point by regulating muscle growth or loss. People often feel that they are becoming weak, although they adhere to a fixed diet and exercise pattern. What they did not realize was that in the peak anabolic state, the body’s catabolic activity increased, and it seemed to be trying to reduce the body to normal size.

How to break the Muscle building limit

Although there are some Muscle building limitations, it is still possible to break the stagnation, exceed the limit and start more powerful anabolism. What should I do? The method is to use a special dietary cycle.

Induce a temporary catabolic state, which will stimulate the potential of anabolism. If stimulate this potential, it will prevent the body from reaching the stagnation point. Let’s see how this method works. In order to maximize growth, people must make full use of growth stimulating hormones.

Hormone stimulation is actually the switch of anabolism, when people are fasting or lack of food, it start work.This may be different from what you have heard before, but in any case, here are some facts. Fasting or insufficient food will produce a signal similar to hunger, and the body will understand this signal as catabolism.

In order to make up for the lack of food so as to protect itself from metabolic collapse, the body will enhance anabolism and spontaneously increase the synthesis of protein and other nutrients to ensure the maximum nutrition from the minimum amount of food. It also maintains muscle tissue by preventing protein breakdown. At the cellular level, one of the most powerful factors  activated during fasting or underfeeding. This cytokine is a by-product of energy metabolism.

It can activate hormones that stimulate anabolism, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland secreted these. In addition, there is evidence that the number of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) receptors on the myocyte membrane increases significantly during fasting and underfeeding.

The increase of this receptor is a primitive biological compensation mechanism, which can ensure that human beings can survive in the period of food shortage. In fact, studies on growth hormone have shown a direct relationship between starvation and stimulation of this tissue building hormone.
