Dear fitness veterans, the Spring Festival in 2024 is very cool!
This is the first "regular" Spring Festival after the end of the epidemic.
Do whatever you want, play whatever you want.
But the old question comes again: will eating and drinking during the Spring Festival, sleeping lazily and not exercising, affect the body shape?
This year's Spring Festival has 8 days off, if the company is responsible, the 30th of the New Year is also actually a holiday, which is actually a 9-day holiday.
If I don't exercise for 9 days in a row, will my muscles deteriorate and will my body shape deteriorate?
We have analyzed before that if you don't exercise for 7 days in a row, the impact on your body shape and muscles can basically be ignored.
But after stopping training for 9 days, a tipping point is reached:
Not a muscle degeneration tipping point, but a delayed soreness tipping point.
That is, if you don't move for 9 days in a row and then return to normal training, then your muscles will feel very sore and uncomfortable during training.
It's just a warning from the muscles that you stop training.
Not a big problem.
Question: How long does it take to stop training and muscles start to degenerate?
Q&A: For most iron shooters, the muscles begin to degenerate significantly after 3 months of completely stopping training.
Question 1: That's great, stop training for 3 months before the muscles degenerate, then I practice for 3 months, rest for 3 months, and the body shape remains the same, it's so cool! There is also 1 year to lose 100 pounds, rest more, anyway, I can practice back.
Q1: This problem is not so simple, it is generally believed that the muscle building process is to cause slight muscle damage through iron, and then repair the muscles by eating a lot of protein, so as to increase muscle girth. This understanding is only at the most basic physical level. But what really works is on the physiological level, which is that the changes in the endocrine system drive muscle growth. Stopping training for 3 months, on the surface, it is a lack of muscle stimulation, but in fact, the feedback mechanism of endocrine training is disrupted, and this is uncontrollable if you want to recover, and it may eventually lead to a sharp collapse of the body!
The endocrine feedback mechanism can be understood as a magical attack, and the iron training as a physical attack.
Ladies and gentlemen!
It's like you team up to slash the big boss.
If there is no magician in the team to hide behind and amplify the moves, you will rely on physical attacks to carry it, and you will lose badly!
Professional tech bodybuilders understand this more profoundly.
If you've watched Tech Player Training, you get the idea.
The quality and level of training of tech players is not higher than that of amateurs on the surface.
The weight is not large, the action is not in place, and so on!
That's just what you see.
What you can't see: Tech players change the body's internal secretion through drugs.
The most obvious of these is testosterone secretion.
Testosterone is a catalyst for muscle growth, and the use of drugs to keep testosterone secretion in the body at a high level, ultimately stimulates muscle growth.
Question 2: Using drugs to gain muscle is faster, which means that iron training is useless, should amateurs lean in this direction?
Q&A 2: This question is not so simple! The "low level" of training for scientific and technological players is not entirely correct, the training methods of scientific and technological players must be perfectly unified with the effect of drugs, and the "correct movements" of fitness in textbooks are only suitable for amateurs, and scientific and technological players have to consider more problems, such as in order to avoid injury, they can only practice like this.
The muscles of amateurs are much more "leathery" than those of tech players, and many people do not understand this, in fact, the muscles that are stimulated by natural training are stronger than those stimulated by drugs. Much smaller, but also much stronger.
The muscles trained by amateurs, although they are not too exaggerated, are all the testosterone that you adjust through training to play a role, and the effect of endogenous testosterone on men is needless to say.
If you stop taking iron for 3 months, the testosterone in the amateur's body will be in trouble, the original effective negative feedback mechanism will be completely disrupted, to be honest, muscle degeneration is secondary, and the spirit and spirit of the entire human body will be greatly affected. Collapse in its entirety!
Learn from tech players and take pills to replenish testosterone? That will cause your endogenous testosterone to shrink further and be completely finished.
Having said that, if you are a fitness enthusiast who has already started training, let alone stop training for 3 months, you will also feel uncomfortable if you stop training for 3 weeks. It is the weakening of dopamine, endorphins, testosterone secretion in the body, causing the human body to feel uncomfortable and urgently need to resume training.
Summary: You can rest assured for 9 days during the Spring Festival, and there is no problem if you don't exercise. But after the Spring Festival, you should resume exercising early, especially for fitness enthusiasts who are just getting started, remember!
Others can lose 100 pounds in 1 year, it doesn't mean that you can, and others don't say what the consequences are. Consistent exercise is the right way.
