If stress causes muscle growth, then training with weights helps to promote growth hormone. But the main thing here is not to overdo it, it doesn't mean better anymore. Excessive load and overstrain not only does not contribute to the production of the hormone, but also inhibits this process. Mental stress, poor sleep, various medications, high blood sugar and poor nutrition also negatively affect growth hormone production. As experiments have shown, heat and short high-intensity training have a positive effect on the production of growth hormone, and cold and long low or medium-intensity training, on the contrary, restrain it. Scientific studies of this issue have shown that an overabundance of growth hormone reduces its effectiveness, however, muscle sensitivity to this hormone can be increased if there are time intervals between the peaks of its release during which the previous portion of GR is utilized and the blood is completely cleared by the time of the next peak. That is why relaxation in bodybuilding is in importance along with the training itself.
Sleep is also a very important moment on the path to success in bodybuilding. And although going to bed in the afternoon is considered a sign of laziness, anyway, if there is such an opportunity, do it. During sleep, a special hormone is produced in the blood, which in turn stimulates the release of growth hormone. The active release of this hormone occurs in the first 4 hours of a night’s sleep, but it can also be promoted by daytime sleep if it lasts at least one hour.
Probably everyone knows that a well-designed diet is the key to success in bodybuilding, but the fact that you need to eat often, up to 6, or even up to 7 times a day, will probably surprise many. But this is indeed so, and iron sports professionals have long noticed this. Frequent meals in small portions help accelerate muscle growth. This is due to an unusual diet. Small portions do not load the body and allow it to fully process and assimilate food. Frequent meals also improve the synthesis of amino acids, many of which contribute to better secretion of growth hormone.
It is very important to stimulate the production of growth hormone not by artificial, but by natural means. This will bring you great benefits in bodybuilding and will not adversely affect your health. The old truth of bodybuilding is that it is important to observe the daily regimen, adhere to proper nutrition and healthy, good sleep. And finally, a few words about another powerful stimulator of growth hormone production - about joy. Yes, yes, it is joy that can cause huge releases of growth hormone into the blood. More precisely, it is not joy itself, but the hormone adrenaline, which is a constant companion of strong emotions. So have more fun friends! Good companies, cool films, walks in nature, fresh air, and of course romantic acquaintances ...
