Why are they the best muscle building exercises?
The heavy load forces the chest muscle to recruit as many cells as possible to move the weight. The more cells under stress the better the muscle stimulation and better growth! All multi-joint movements are the best muscle building exercises because of the potential to generate higher levels of effort. Intense effort is the key to muscle building it stresses muscles by forcing the cells to breakdown very rapidly, carbohydrate stores are mobilized rapidly for energy and protein filaments are shattered.The best muscle building exercises must cause rapid muscle breakdown Every movement results in a slight breakdown of molecules inside muscle cells. Most movements we make such as walking or running only place a small amount of stress on muscle cells so the rate of breakdown is slow, sleep and food intake is enough to easily recover the cells back to their normal state. If muscles contract at maximal force ( like heavy weight training ) the rate of breakdown increases dramatically, the cent
