Okay so I've just got done with a marathon search about musclebuilding, as I have hit a platuea lately and needed to shock me some muscle fibers. So I pretended to forget everything I know about muscles, techniques, and supplements. I thought I'd share a few items here because it so curious how muscle building and P.E can follow the same paths. In fact p.e. for me is a natural extention of weight lifting. So bear with me I think a mini book is coming on.
Anyway I started looking into supplements that could supercharge my workouts, but then I realized that the world of supplementaion is vague and ambiguous at best, so I started with basics of how muscles accomplish movement, swell and grow, and I realized I was overlooking a huge limiting factor of muscle growth....the fascia (hitting a little close to P.E. home...huh?). Any how every muscle group has a tight girdle that surounds it and gives it integrity, in other words it holds each particular bundle of fibers together, other wise your bicep "heads" would be laying laxidaisically all over the place like DD's roll around after 6 kids, yet the fascia is like implants which more or less hold the muscle group in place on their specific bone and joint delegation.
So it has a purpose yet, this fascia is very subboorn and in my renewed opinion, is one of the largest limiting factors in muscle growth. The fascia is like a big girdle which constrains muscle growth. What led me to this renewed thinking was a very recent injury. I fractured my tibia back around Christmas, and the day it happened my calf became so swollen I had to go to the E.R. were they made incisions to allow drainage lest it cut off circulation. Any how what happened is that because of the injury blood entered my calf and streched the fascia to a painfully big state. Later the doc said that I may have a little different sized calf after all was said and done. Only now am I putting it all together, because it streched the fascia of my left calf muscle, my left calf is now LARGER than my right calf, and my right calf has always been bigger than my left!!!
This is where muscle memory comes from, that at one point you grew your muscles and streched your fascia to point A, then through atrophy you lose X amount of muscle size, yet because you streched your fascia to point A in the past your muscle can get back to that size in a relatively small amount of time. I really believe fascia dementions limit muscle expansion...aka. muscle growth. Think about lifting weights; you lift and your muscle expands with blood, expands to a larger volume than is has at rest, so slowely this hyperexpansion stretches and shapes the fascia. And with steroids the effect is increased many fold. But the expansion of tissues with blood flow is key here. Ever heard that "without a pump you won't grow". I think it has real world validity, as far as size goes......bottom line; after all my reseaching, back to basics is good medicine...and after my recent real world example of fascial streching I am focused again on a titanic culprit of non-growth; muscle fascia.
So basically lift heavy and hard to get that juggernaut pump, then when you muscles are hyperinflated with blood, you STRETCH...this compells the fascia to expand whether they want to or not. But your muscles have to me pumped when you strech or the fascia will not expand, which is why yoga followers can stretch yet are not big at all. Now if you can assist the pump in any way that's a bonus; creatine, N.O. etc. Now a few things are crutial in muscle repair and building just as they are in P.E.ing;
Vitamin T.....Test. is king. And I come across a few things about test. I thought were interesting on boosting you natural T levels;
-Zinc, zinc is a key componant in test production plus it acts to inhibit the conversion of test into estrogen...some tout it even converts estrogen back into test. Low zinc levels = low test.
-lose weight, body fat stores estrogen and aromitase which is responsible for converting test into estrogen.
-Lifting heavy weights, compound exercises, in the 6 rep range produces much more test than light circuit or cardio.
-Get quality regular sleep
-Take time to de-stress....stress kills test.
-Healthy fats....monounsaturated and omega-3 in particular, seafood and nuts.
-Vegitables, fruit and a good multi-vitamin
-Alcohol reduces test levels, and grapefruit reduces zinc levels.
-Keep testes cool, excessive heat can impair test production..sorry tighty-whiteys!
-Drink lots of water!!
-And my favorite!!! Get sexually stimulated as much as possible. Studies have confirmed that sexual excitation in males increased test. dramatically.
In fact mere attaining a good erection increases blood test levels. A study by Ludwig Blotzmann Institute in Vienna show that 10 men shown 15 min of porn had test levels 100% higher post viewing. Now I know there is a lot of hoopla about porn here, but the central idea remains; becoming sexually aroused can spike test levels and if done throughout the day...well, maybe this is the reason so many younger guys can put on muscle so much easier....they are erect more throughout the day than a 60 year old male would be.
Next on the list of ingredients for a good pump;
Nitric Oxide. N.O. is a vaso dialator and allows for the increased shuttling of nutrients via the blood to muscles.
-You can take all sorts of concoctions of l-arginine pre workout to increase N.O. levels before workouts....or try an orange.
-Interestingly N.O. is a free radical gas produced by mammals. Free radical..meaning it is harmful in large amounts. But like everything else in the body too much is not good, oxygen causes oxidation, sugar is harmful yet need for energy...our bodies play such a tight rope act with so many substances.
One thing that many people with E.D. assume is that they automatically have low test. But it may be an impeded N.O. level that is causing low erection quality.
-After all this is was viagra is based upon increasing N.O. levels regardless of test levels.
Also Creatine may help by filling muscles cells with water that which increases energy but also allows for a fuller pump...which I believe is creatines method for hypertrophy; fascial streching via enhanced pump. But I have come across many who claim creatine to be very hazardous for kidneys and liver...amny doctors on this bandwagon also....so take it for what it's worth.
Now going back to these basics and away from the hyped slick advertising of the supplement industry, is good medicine for bodybuilding, and it strikes me as good medicine for life in general.
-Excercise...hard and smart
-Eat lots of quality foods and consume water
-Qualitative sleep and relaxation
-And above all sexual excitation...sex, sex, and lots more sex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I can help but be struck by the similarities of pump/stretching in muscle hypertrophy as well as P.E. hypertrophy;
-in both, test and N.O. levels are paramount.
-muscular fascia and ligs of the penis are both very tenascious and stubborn. Yet both are holding back prospective growth.
-Jelquing is similar to flooding the muscle with blood, in that is forces an increased volume of blood into penile tissues as you move down the penis...thus forcing a stretch upon the effected tissues.
-In fact I think these tight tissues and ligs of the penis are the number one obsticle to growth. They are strong and tight for a reason, yet people have shown that with the right stimulation they stretch like anything else.
So this got me thinking on how one could hyperinflate the penis then stretch as you would in bodybuilding. Still working on that one.
But I know as you become more advanced in P.E. there are excercises where you stretch while erect which would place increased stimulus upon the ligs and compell them to stretch, which I feel is the same principal as the muscle/fascia issue above. Very interesting how similar these two avenues of body shaping intersect.
And it's great to see that sexual excitation spurs good health. I need to excite myself much more each day....for the sake of my test. and well being of course. The harder I am the better life is!
However be careful...excess ejaculation depletes zinc which as mentioned above is crutial for male health. So screw the money shot go for the Dry or multiples. To much squirting and alcohol can turn you into a girly man by trumping test levels and raising estrogen levels.
Just some food for thought I wanted to share for everybodies benefit!
