Muscle Restoration – 5 Ways to Promote Faster Growth

Muscle Restoration - 5 Ways to Promote Faster Growth

How do you promote muscle restoration to grow bigger, stronger, better muscles? It’s commonly believed that training as hard as possible is the key to reaching your fitness goals. However, while giving your best is essential, it’s only half of the workout success equation. Recovery or muscle restoration is the other (less-acknowledged) element in achieving ultimate performance.

Importance of Muscle Restoration

Increasing Strength

To improve in any sport or area of fitness, you inherently need to expose your body to stress. Training activities such as weightlifting, sprinting, and HIIT produces microscopic tears in your muscle tissues. However, when you allow your muscles to rest, cells called fibroblasts work to repair them. “And when your body’s tissues — from your muscles and bones to heart and lungs — recover, they become slightly fitter than they were before,” explains Adam Rivadeneyra, MD, a sports medicine physician with the Hoag Orthopedic Institute and the Orthopaedic Specialty Institute in California. In short, when you allow for muscle restoration, you also allow for your strength to increase. 

Reduce Muscle Fatigue

You store carbohydrates as glycogen within your muscles. Your body breaks down these deposits when you work out to provide energy. Not only does this help revitalize your energy sources, but it also helps prevent muscle fatigue and soreness. Melisa Leber, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, says, “Rest helps re-energize the body, so you have the stamina to give it your all during your next workout.” 

Decrease the Chance of Injury

Intentional recovery is vital for remaining safe during training. When you overwork your muscles, you are more likely to cause excess strain, contributing to injury. Overworking typically leads to injuries such as stress fractures, a runner’s knee, and muscle strains. Even worse, research from Sports Health shows that insufficient recovery can lead to reduced immune function, neurological changes, hormonal disturbances, and even depression. Adequate recovery ensures you bypass these risks. 

Grow and Tone Muscles

Most of us promote muscle restoration to grow bigger, stronger, and more toned muscles. A workout breaks muscles down and makes it possible to reshape muscles. After you break your muscles down, it signals to the body that something is wrong. Your body creates hormones to deal with the problem. Hormones like testosterone, HGH, and IGF-1 tell your cells to convert protein to muscles. But muscle growth and toning cannot start without rest and recovery. By working out hard, eating right, and resting, you send the right signals to your body. To reach your fitness goal, never send conflicting signals to your body. Make sure your workout, diet, and recovery program agree.

Ways to Improve Recovery

Muscle restoration is critical to any successful training regime. While each individual’s actual routine varies, here are some practices to help boost your recovery: 

Hydrate

If you become dehydrated before a workout, dehydration disrupts your electrolyte levels, leading to decreased strength and even more significant dehydration. However, research has also shown that consuming a proper amount of water can help increase your endurance and tolerance to pain. In addition, drinking water can restore hydration, energizing your muscles before, during, and after your workout. Not only does water improve overall performance, but it also flushes out toxins released during exercises. So, drink up!

Eat protein before and after your workout.

Protein serves as the foundation of muscle tissue. In addition, protein helps to repair micro-tears caused by exercise stress. Also, it promotes the production of proteins involved in energy production while supporting the revitalization of reduced energy deposits. It’s suggested that endurance athletes intake 1.2 to 1.4 g per kilogram of body weight, and resistance and strength-training athletes ingest 1.6 to 1.7 per kilogram of body weight per day. Typically, athletes can reach these recommended daily levels with mindful dietary choices.

Get enough sleep

When you sleep, your body produces muscle-building hormones, one of the most essential human growth hormones (HGH). During sleep, blood also flows to your muscles more abundantly, which supports tissue growth and repair. In addition, relaxation allows the muscles to release stored tension. However, this muscle restoration occurs only during sleep. Therefore, you must get a consistent seven to nine hours of sleep per night to fully recover.

Consider incorporating magnesium

During exercise, the body naturally loses electrolytes and trace minerals. One of these minerals is magnesium, and muscles remain in a state of contraction with a lack of magnesium. Unfortunately, many Americans are deficient in this mineral; however, relieving muscle soreness and aches after a strenuous workout is vital. You can get magnesium: through foods such as bananas and leafy greens, oral supplements, salt baths, and even IV therapy.

Incorporate active recovery

During active recovery, you engage in low-intensity, low-affected exercises. These activities increase blood flow and tissue repair without stressing already-worked muscles. For example, Nicole Belkin, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at New York, Presbyterian/ Columbia University, suggests, “If you’re feeling fatigued from strength training, engage in a lower intensity cardiovascular bike ride or walk, which enables your body to circulate waste products caused by the rigorous activity.” You can also do a gentle yoga class, go for an easy hike, or even do a tai chi class. Anything that allows you to move your body without tiring you out.

Your Recovery Routine

Recovery is imperative for any athlete to increase their workout performance. While everyone’s recovery needs are unique, one thing remains true: the harder you train, the greater your need for planned recovery. By staying in touch with your body, you can understand what muscle restoration habits benefit you most.
