"How Can I Get Bigger Muscles?"
I get this question all the time from guys at the gym who need advice or want to talk fitness, the gym members' politics.
Well...(of water- hee!) more than 70 percent of muscle is water. Muscle tissue grows when you feed muscle fibers water and protein.
Most men "get" and overdo the protein side. They drink protein shakes, eat their baked skinless chicken breasts, and consume more meat and beans than they truly need per day to grow. They're correct to some degree...
But they're missing the huge component- water! Why? The protein they're jamming down their throat is "hydroliphic"- it attracts, loves, and holds water.
And boys, since the muscles you want (the big guns, a non-flabby chest, and huge legs) are more than 70% water, the more you drink, the bigger and stronger they will become!
(Side note: water also lubricates your joints. So as you "get big" (gain weight and muscle) you need to lubricate your joints even more to handle the new load you've given it. So drink water. Capiche?)
