Well folks! Anabolism and catabolism. A lot of people think that anabolism is winning muscle mass and catabolism is to lose muscle mass.
AND in a way, you are not wrong, but that is not the correct concept. So me and the Floquinhos today, we will explain perfectly what it is: anabolism, catabolism and even metabolism, right? So already click on like and subscribe here on channel.
Well, the metabolism is a set of biochemical reactions, which take place in the your body. And this can be divided between anabolism and catabolism. When the anabolism is equal to catabolism, you has metabolism, which is the balance between the same proportion of anabolism and catabolism.
The metabolism will change with weight, height, sex, among other things. O anabolism, it is nothing more than smaller molecule, to larger molecule. It's the state of that passage of, smaller molecule for larger molecule for retention of energy.
So how does that happens? We have a smaller molecule, we added something in it to retain, which it becomes a larger molecule. This is a anabolism.
Catabolism in turn is, a larger molecule, which decreases to withdrawal of energy. So: "Look, there's a energy here, I'll take it out. "What happens?
It decreases, and then I catabolise. "Leandro Twin, but you said it wasn't that! "No, I didn't say it was just that, to lose mass muscle or gain muscle mass.
When this happens in the dough tissue muscle, really, catabolism is losing muscle mass, anabolism is to gain muscle mass. But when we talk about fat it’s the same thing, so gaining fat is a anabolic process. So, when they ask me like this: "Leandro Twin, I'm on the right diet, I'm losing weight.
Am I catabolisando? "No, it will be no, you is contolising. So much that he lost Weight.
Now, the question I know is that you do, my students come and ask that. "What does that mean? I'm losing muscle mass?
"No, you it's not, because people are doing everything right. But you have to understand what catabolism is, what is anabolism, so you don't use a wrong nomenclature. So when you win fat, did you anabolize, perfect?
"But anabolism happens only in our body, in animal body? "No, even on plants that happens. Photosynthesis process, anabolic process.
The plants get glucose from Co2 and H2O, water, and then you have a photosynthesis process, a anabolic process in a plant. So, when we talk about anabolism, people talking about incorporation, when we talk about catabolism, we're talking degradation. When we have more catabolic activities during the day, because people are all day.
You ate, anabolized, but then you didn't eat enough, he was another hour without eating, catabolized. So you is anabolizing and catabolizing all day. When you catabolize more, you lose weight, muscle mass, fat, etc.
When you gain weight, you're doing the reverse process. So, little if know this, but anabolic steroids are much more anti-catabolic than anabolic. What does that mean?
It stops the catabolism, as it stops the catabolism, anabolism goes up. But it is not that anabolism has increased, is that the proportion increased, and then you can gain mass muscle because you don't lose during the day, during training, during activities during fasting. Then the anabolic steroid, even in the individual who have a bad diet, gain mass muscle, have you noticed that?
"No, but the guy doesn't even eat right! "But he wins, he wins less, it's true. It's not worth it to change health just for this mix of results, but he will always gain muscle mass.
But that's not all, we have to remember that the anabolic process is a process that uses energy. "As well Leandro? If I'm accumulating energy.
"Yes, but to put it in there it’s spent. So, for example to gain mass muscle, 1 gram of positive nitrogen, which is the positive nitrogen balance. 1 gram to be positive, I will need 20, 25 grams of protein, okay?
Because I'll go play in there, cool. Only this, it will demand more or less 100 to 200 calories from sources not protein, from non-energy sources protein, fat and carbohydrate. And then I I can do a fixation and a process anabolic, that is, he demanded energy to fix that protein.
The catabolic process, it produces energy. Of course, because you don’t have it, so at the time of do the degradation, you increases your energy available through stock. So, when I have a balance between without catabolic reasons and no anabolic reasons, I have the metabolism, that is, I keep.
That's why, metabolic rate baseline, is how much do I need to keep the Weight. Only then I put a physical activity, a spent and such. I have to climb this too, but so that in the end I Keep.
Anabolic, catabolic, the equivalent is metabolism. And there it is people, who will have the most metabolism efficient or less efficient, this will depend on good conduct, good rates hormonal. So a low testosterone gets worse your metabolism.
A thyroid that doesn't work well, you worsens your metabolism. So how do I improve my metabolism? It is precisely checking your hormonal picture, making it all right, increasing the your amount of tissues.
Of course, because the tissue is active, so more muscle mass, I improve it. In this process to gain more muscle mass, I improve health markers like insulin, like testosterone, like thyroid and all that helps my metabolism. When I I do caloric deprivation, I worsen my metabolism.
So you fast or frequent eating whatever, the body will decrease your metabolism when you eat less calories than what you spend. Why? Why are you going in favor of death, when you go in favor of death, your body says: "I can't let that crazy die!
So for this madman does not die, I will decrease metabolism. "That's why you experience a worsening of your metabolism on a weight loss diet. Each time more, you have to decrease the calories more not to stagnate.
you will say: "Gee, but is it getting bad? "Yes, but it's the price to pay pay. Among these anabolism processes and catabolism, we have some ways metabolic factors to quote here.
So, as for example, glycolysis, which is the production of ATP, through the oxidation of glucose. We have the Crebs cycle, very important for the fat loss. Which does the oxidation of acetyl strain for energy.
We have phosphorylation oxidative, which is the use in energy released, glucose oxidation acetyl coa, for ATP, adenosine triphosphate. Even one. Adenosine triphosphate, because it has three chains.
If it would not be ADP, adenosine diphosphate, which is what happens when you start doing a physical exercise. So you needs ATP, ATP becomes ADP, then the body says: "Oops, throw one more over there. " When you throw one more there, and it turns ATP again, you get one more repetition.
What happens is that in bodybuilding it gets decompensated and then you get in fatigue. And we have many others, such as phosphate pentose pathways, urea cycle, oxidation of fatty acids, gluconeogenesis and etc. But I think that is, it is very heavy perhaps, it is very biochemical.
Maybe you want to know something that, I will talk now: "Leandro, it's okay. I understood anabolism and catabolism but why do i need to know these things? Curious, very cool, but like that help me in practice?
"It helps you to begin to understand some processes. So, look: if I’m all day anabolizing and catabolizing, if I do a fasting diet intermittent, I will catabolize much. Because I have the deprivation of food, perfect?
Great. Only that when you eat, you eat much. So if you eats 3,000 divided, you have several anabolisms during the day and several catabolisms too, after all we are always there in activity, training, doing something.
What happens on an intermittent fast, is that you concentrate at one time and at the other you eat a lot. That is, you can gain weight doing intermittent fasting, he will not solve your weight loss problem, well as it will not decrease its mass muscle by itself. When you train, you're applying a catabolic process, of course, because you is using a screwed energy in that time.
Only that increases signaling of ways, for later you recover. So, why you need to eat, you need to catabolize to anabolize. If we could stimulate the muscles and those signals without attack the muscle mass, it would be very easier.
"You don't need to train. I already signaled here on the biceps, now only grow. "But there is no way to do it that, today at least.
So through the understanding of these things, you start to see that, the diet can be much more flexible. You don't need to eat every three three hours, but fasting will not solve the your problem. You begin to realize that too much training is bad, because I I have an X sign to reach, 0 to 100.
I reached 100 with 10 exercises, if I do 15 exercises, I'm just burning muscle mass, no it's getting me nowhere. Because I already I signed, so what is training? It's the right point of the signage and this is very common to happen.
My students come and say: "Leandro, I'm finding the training a bit light. I used to do heavier. "Because we've already detected a mistake.
Why? If you did it above that, not necessary. "Ah, but I leave training willing!
"Good for you, my friend, because the training is not to leave unwell. The training is to signal the only that. Signaled and continues ready for the rest of the day, touch my hand, get it right here, because I can do the better, I managed to signal to you grow, without screwing with your life.
No was that? This is wonderful. No one wants to train and be unwell.
"Ah, I can't work anymore. " No, this is not the goal of the training, on the contrary, it increases the disposition. So, understand biochemistry that your life will make it easier, It will be easier.
You see Ronnie Coleman, Dorian Yates, Jay Cutler, Kevin Levrone, absurdly big guys, training 50 minutes 5, 6 times a week. Because he already signaled my friend, bye, rest, eat. If I train too much, there is to eat even more, it will not do nothing.
Signed? Go eat! Worked out, ate, finished.
It is! And even they, who have a lot of use of anabolic steroids, which curbs the catabolism. So you realize, that a strategy training, it is not a training that will screw with your life.
Have to do a workout cute, just right, of course. But I I assure you, the majority of you, train wrong to more, a lot of willpower. I don't want to be arrogant, but like that, with a knowledge that could be a little is better, that's all.
And you go say: "Leandro, this is a mistake that you detect in your students, with a week of training. "It's true, and there's many other errors that I detect a lot of my students, and I made a video with the principals, who are here next door. So, click on like and subscribe to the channel, because you can see how much you can you learn here?
Anabolism, catabolism and now, the main errors that I detect a week, from my new students and are corrected instantly. Click here.
