You can gain muscle WITHOUT TAKING IN EXCESS CALORIES ? The answer is YES.
Can you gain muscle without taking in excess calories ? The answer is yes . My laboratory has recently published a study in the " European Journal of Applied Physiology " , where we have optimized the intake of protein, calories, but kept in the maintenance of subjects.5
We found that these highly trained subjects gained muscle and lost fat at the same time, with minimal change in their total body weight. In other words , hard workout while eating maintenance calories can really change your body for a more muscular appearance, less fat.
The premise for our study was not entirely new ; were the subjects that made it special . Until recently, almost all studies that are conducted in subjects overfed sedentary ( untrained ) . The study cited far more sedentary people wearing them and supercharged for 100 days per 1,000 calories per day.
Increasing the average body weight of the subjects during overfeeding was 17 pounds, of which 67 percent were overweight , and only 33 percent was muscle mass.6 This research shows that excess calories can lead to both fat mass and lean mass , and seems to support the idea of a traditional major.
My lab is the first to examine the impact of increased volume in the kids who were actually training hard . In addition to the previous study , Sean McCleary conducted another study in which subjects overfed with either a moderate 800 calories or Extreme 2000 extra calories per day for 45 days.7 This was much shorter than previous studies , which lasted 100 days or more . The subjects in our study also trained each body part to extreme levels several times a week .
We found that both groups increased their muscle mass by about 6-8 pounds. However , the difference in the case of fat accumulation was more pronounced . While moderate calorie group lost 2 pounds of fat, calories wing group gained 2 pounds of fat ! This tells us that the more calories can be anabolic , there is a ceiling for its positive effects.
Beyond this limit, the excess calories are stored as fat. The result is that more time is needed to reduce , and when it does , it will cost more muscle tissue from the catabolic degradation.
