What is better for gaining muscle? Weight Gaining proteins or a Low Carb Protein?
Both are very effective in building muscle tissue. However, Glycogen replenishment plays a massive part in your body’s ability to absorb protein and build muscle. Replenishing the body’s glycogen source (Carbohydrate stored in the muscle) is imperative to better gains. Insulin is responsible for delivering both Glucose and Protein to the muscle cells, so when simple carbs (Sugars etc) are consumed after training it helps to spike insulin levels in the body. This will in enable your body to synthesize new muscle proteins at a much faster rate. Better recovery, growth and results.
