Increased congestion : Arginine


There 's a reason that arginine is one of the most popular market of sports nutrition supplements, has to do with our internal system of rewards. After kill daily in the gym, you want to see results. Taking arginine before training and you will see almost immediately that the muscles are not only more congested in the gym but also grow faster .

I hope you find it helpful, comment and suggest . And do not forget to share !

Do not forget the milk

Do not forget the milk

Athletes spend a fortune on protein supplements and fluid replacement beverages to enhance recovery and muscle building. Why spend a lot of money on sports supplements when you can get the same effect of milk?

Bodybuilding and milk

University in Canada, in a review of the literature, that low-fat milk enhances healing of weight training and exercise endurance, stimulates protein synthesis, and promotes post-exercise tissue repair.

Thirty years ago, scientists thought that the water better fluid replacement.

While it is still true to a large extent, and sports drinks are superior in some cases because they save water and energy and electrolytes. Milk may be the best, because it keeps the water balance for a longer period and provides a source of protein that can promote adaptation and tissue repair after exercise. Low-fat milk is an excellent sports drink for endurance sports, except in people who are lactose intolerant.
