3 things to note when squating to increase muscle

HẠ MÂY (Theo aboluowang) |

Squats are one of the exercises that increase muscle strength. When exercising, we need to pay attention to a few things to increase efficiency and avoid injuries.

Incorrect exercise posture

When squat, keep your feet shoulder-width apart, knees and toes in the same direction, back straight, knees not exceeding your toes and sit squat deep enough.

Squat seems simple, but if you do not pose properly, you will find it difficult to achieve muscle strength training results and can also suffer injuries.

Not enough rest

The main component of muscle is protein. Normally, the synthesis and breakdown of muscle protein is maintained in a balanced state. However, in exercises like squats, the breakdown of muscle protein is greater than the synthesis. High-intensity exercise can even cause muscle damage.

Therefore, after exercises such as squats, you need to rest properly so that your muscles can recover and strengthen. If you do squats every day and do not rest, fatigue and muscle damage will be difficult to recover, you will be susceptible to injuries over time.

Nutrient deficiency

Nutritional supplementation is an important part of building muscle and strengthening muscle mass. Many people ignore the need to supplement nutrients for muscle synthesis right after strength training such as squats, which significantly reduces muscle growth.

In addition to supplementing protein-rich foods such as beans, fish, eggs, meat, you can also supplement easily digestible and absorbed amino acids, especially 9 essential amino acids - an important ingredient to create synthetic muscle protein.
