Basics of Exercise

Hello friends, in this blog I am going to cover the basics of exercise.

This is the basic concept: when you move your muscles with some resistance provided, the muscle tissues break. In the time when you rest, they repair themselves and grow larger to prevent future risk.

When you exercise, your blood flow increases. The blood brings nutrients to your muscle cells and the body releases testosterone. Upon hydration, testosterone converts into dihydrotestosterone. The amount of dihydrotestosterone present determines which muscles of your body will dominate. 

Some guys make a mistake in their early days of gym training by not training their lower body. I made the same mistake and it cost me, but I didn't have someone to guide me. (I was surrounded by idiots who would sell you their advice and do whatever they could to make sure you follow it... but this is not the topic. 😉) When you train only your upper body, the majority of dihydrotestosterone stays in your upper body. By the time you realize that you need to train your legs, it is too late. By training both your upper and lower body from the beginning, you will add more muscle to your overall physique, because your legs make up 60% of your total muscle mass. Plus, intense leg workouts will increase your testosterone flow and you will experience more growth- not just in your legs, but in all the muscles of your body.

Remember, exercise does not only have positive effects. There can be negative effects as well. Exercise is a type of stress, and our bodies releases cortisol to fight stress. Cortisol is a catabolic hormone, so it's importance to balance your workout in order to provide the optimum amount of stress. During a well-balanced workout, testosterone flow will dominate the cortisol and help you get the most out of your workout.
