How To Build Muscle Effectively with LugaFit

LugaFit offers a revolutionary approach to building muscle, focusing on caloric intake, surplus, and training allowance. This guide simplifies the process, ensuring you understand the essential steps to maximize muscle growth. By focusing on the right balance of calories and exercise, you can achieve optimal muscle growth. Here's how to do it.

4 Key elements to building muscle effectively.

When it comes to building muscle if you neglect any one of these 4 key elements it will drastically reduce your ability to grow muscle.

1. ) Getting the numbers right!

Muscle growth is all about the numbers at LugaFit we have cracked the code to the most direct path to building muscle. Using the below method you will create the optimal conditions to induce muscle growth.

• Maintenance Calories:

You need to consume your full calorie allowance to just maintain your body weight.

Lets assume you need 1,500 calories per day to maintain your weight.

• Protein Calories:

To then build muscle you need to consume extra calories in the form of protein to push you over your Maintenance level.

How to Calculate Protein Calories:

Lets assume you eat 200g of protein...

• 1g of protein = 4 calories

• 200g x 4 = 800 calories

• Training Allowance

We then have to account for training. If you train you will then burn your protein calories and wont have a calorie surplus to grow.

• To ensure you keep your protein calories as your calorie surplus you have to consume an extra 800cals from fat or carbs.

How to Calculate Training Allowance

• If your protein calories = 800 calories

• Training Allowance = 800 calories

• Total Daily Intake:

We now put it all together to get your total calories you need for optimal growth.

How to Calculate Total Daily Intake

• maintenance calories : 1,500Cal
• protein calories : 800Cal
• training allowance calories : 800Cal

1,500Cal + 800Cals + 800Cals = 3,100Cal

2. ) Stimulation

Key Concept: If you don't burn the same amount of calories you consume in protein, you will hinder your growth potential.

• Muscle growth is a chemical and hermonal process and muscle stimulation without burning the calories is why most people struggle to gain muscle.

Chemical and Hormonal Effects

• Hormones: Exercise induces the production of hormones like testosterone and growth hormone, which are critical for muscle growth.

• Caloric Burn: Burning calories through exercise is necessary to create the chemical environment for muscle synthesis. Without adequate caloric burn, the necessary hormones and chemical signals won't be produced effectively.

High-Calorie Exercises

You are probably wondering how you are going to burn 800 calories. This is very manageable using LugaFit and using the following exercises.

• Compound Movements: Engage in compound movements like squats, deadlifts, bench press, and pull-ups. These exercises work multiple muscle groups and burn a high number of calories.

• Controlled Reps: Perform exercises slowly (3-4 seconds per rep) to maximize muscle engagement and caloric burn.

3 ). Nutrition

Getting the numbers right handles the main part of the diet. However, there are other key nutrients that are essential to the process. When building muscle, you must have sufficient amounts of all these nutrients.

Protein

• Importance: Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth. It provides the building blocks (amino acids) necessary for muscle tissue synthesis.

• Sources: Chicken, beef, fish, beans, tofu, eggs, dairy products, and legumes.

• Recommendation: Aim for a protein intake that supports your muscle-building goals, users can set their goal, and the platform will tell them the protein intake needed to reach their goal in a specific amount of time.

Complete Amino Acids

• Importance: Ensure you get all essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein that your body cannot produce on its own.

• Combination: If you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, combine different protein sources to achieve a complete amino acid profile (e.g., rice and beans, hummus and whole grain bread).

• Sources: Animal products naturally contain complete proteins, while plant-based sources can be combined to provide all essential amino acids.

Other Key Nutrients

• Iron: Crucial for oxygen transport in the blood, which is necessary for energy production and muscle function.
• Calcium: Important for muscle contraction and bone health.
• Magnesium: Supports muscle function, energy production, and protein synthesis.
• Vitamin D: Enhances calcium absorption and supports muscle function.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Reduce inflammation and support muscle recovery.
• B Vitamins: Crucial for energy production and the synthesis of neurotransmitters that support muscle function.

Ensuring you get these nutrients will help optimize your muscle growth and overall health, allowing your body to function at its best during your training and recovery periods.

4 ). Recovery

Key Concept: Recovery is crucial to avoid overtraining, but with the right numbers, full rest days aren't always necessary.

Sleep

• Importance: Sleep is when your body repairs and builds muscle tissue. It is also essential for overall health and well-being.

• Recommendation: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.

• Details: Quality sleep helps regulate hormones like cortisol and growth hormone, both of which are critical for muscle recovery and growth. Ensure your sleep environment is conducive to rest—dark, quiet, and cool.

Rest Days

• Traditional Rest Days: These are typically included in most fitness plans to prevent overtraining and give muscles time to recover.

• LugaFit's Method: With accurate caloric and protein intake, you can train every day if you stay within your training allowance. This means you avoid depleting your caloric surplus, which is essential for muscle growth.

• Details: By carefully managing your intake and exercise output, you can maintain a constant state of recovery, allowing for consistent daily training without the negative effects of overtraining.

Conclusion

LugaFit’s unique approach, combining precise nutritional calculations, personalized plans, and scientifically-backed training and recovery methods, provides the most direct and effective path to building muscle. It stands out as a revolutionary tool in the fitness industry, offering a clear and structured path to achieving optimal muscle growth.
