It could be due to extreme dietary restrictions or lack of sleep.
If muscle mass growth is stagnant, exercise ‘weight’ should be increased
ⓒPixa Bay
These days, the importance of muscle mass is emphasized every day. Recently, there has been a claim that sarcopenia caused by aging should be treated like a disease. It is a change that occurred as the recognition that muscle hyonyong is not limited to cosmetic aspects only spreads.
The most important factor determining an individual’s muscle mass is, of course, exercise. However, there are not a few people who complain that their muscle mass remains the same even though they are working out hard. Discover unexpected lifestyle habits that can hinder muscle mass gain.
▲ Extreme dietary restrictions
Building muscle is hard. For this reason, the vast majority of people want their hard-trained muscles to be clearly visible throughout the body. The same goes for women. It’s not like men don’t want bulky muscles, but wanting to have a body that’s clearly separated by muscle is no different.
The problem is when extreme dietary restrictions accompany this process. Stricter dietary restrictions help in weight loss, but tend to reduce muscle mass as well. Increasing and maintaining muscle mass is also an act of consuming calories. We want to build additional muscle while consuming just enough calories to keep our body in its current state. Therefore, when you want to increase muscle mass, it is a rule to eat a sufficient amount of high-protein meals at the same time.
▲ sleep deprivation
Muscles recover and grow while we sleep. Therefore, if you lack sleep, there is a high possibility that the amount of muscle mass you exercised will not be created. It is also likely that it will be difficult to perform sufficient amounts of exercise due to fatigue caused by lack of sleep.
▲ Lack of exercise
All exercises are difficult for beginners. However, it may be that the amount of exercise that is difficult for you and the amount of exercise that is insufficient in terms of increasing muscle mass. It is similar to the situation in which exercise beginners who have started a diet overestimate the perceived calorie consumption of exercise.
Therefore, if there is no change in muscle mass even after long-term strength training, it is good to increase the amount of exercise. At this time, experts advise that increasing the ‘weight’ rather than increasing the ‘number of times’ of strength training is more advantageous for increasing muscle mass.
