To Build Muscle, Get A Tan!
If you're looking to build lean muscle, I want you to first work
on getting a tan. (Although that may be tough for us living here
in the frigid northeast!)
I can see it now, people are going to be lined up at their local
tanning salon, telling the clerk they need to start building
some muscle. Well, let me save you from stares of confusion from
the salon owners.
You're not going to build muscle from sun tanning.
But the cause and effect relationship between the sun and
tanning perfectly illustrates a point I want to make about
working out too much.
I must get 3 or 4 emails each day from people wanting to know
why they're not building muscle as fast as they'd like. They
tell me that they're working each muscle group as often as
possible.
Well, the thing is, there's no law in weight lifting that says
if you double your time, you double your results. Usually, if
you double the amount of time you lift, you actually lessen your
results.
It's because weight lifting is closer to the "Less is More"
theory than the "The More The Better" one.
So I want to show you how getting a tan actually answers why you
do not want to weight train a muscle group more than once each
week.
Getting a sun tan is a cause and effect relationship. The sun is
the cause and the tan is the effect. In other words, the sun is
the stimulus and the tan is the result.
When you get a tan, what is actually happening is that your
melanocytes are producing melanin pigment in reaction to
ultraviolet light in sunlight. Ultraviolet light stimulates
melanin production.
The pigment has the effect of absorbing the UV radiation in
sunlight, so it protects the cells from UV damage.
You have to expose yourself to UV for a short period of time to
activate the melanocytes. By repeating this process over 5 to 7
days pigment builds up in your cells to a level that is
protective.
But what happens when you get too much sun? That's right, you
get a sun burn, something you do not want to happen. Too much of
the stimulus leads to a negative result.
So the key is to find the right amount of sun for the desired
effect. Too little sun results in no tan and too much sun
results in a sun burn.
So, how does this relate to building muscle?
Muscle growth happens by overloading a muscle with heavy weight
and then allowing it to rest and recuperate. In this case, the
lifting of heavy weight is the stimulus and, if the environment
is properly set up, the result is lean muscle growth.
The proper "environment" for muscle growth is rest and proper
nutrition (high protein, moderate carbs, plenty of water).
If you train a muscle group (biceps, triceps, etc) more than
once each week, it does not get a chance to recuperate and will
not grow or become stronger.
It's like going back out in the sun too much. Overexposure to
the sun leads to a burn. Overexposure to lifting leads to
overtraining. When overtraining occurs, muscle growth and
strength gains come to a screeching halt.
So to maximize muscle growth and keep that "anabolic window of
opportunity" intact, you definitely want to train a muscle group
once each week.
Too much weight training (stimulus) will produce negative
results. If you do not allow your muscles to rest, recover, and
get ready for the next workout, you're doing the same thing as
if you went back out into the sun too much.
Too much of something can produce negative results as much as
too little of something.
So if you want to start building more muscle, start working on
your tan ;-)
