METABOLIC RATE & REVERSE DIETING 

If you rarely get hungry & have been living on low calorie diets for as long as you can remember there is a possibility that metabolic rate is not operating as ideally as possible. I often get clients coming to me complaining of never getting hungry & only eating minimal amounts of nutrition.

Often a history of under eating, skipping meals & over exercsing has led to a natural down regualtion of metabolic rate & thyroid hormones.

In this situation it does not matter how many more meals you skip or gym sessions you do, until you start to revere these natural negative adaptations to the metabolic rate fat loss, vitality, recoverability & training performance will all be well below ideal – this is very common!

I love Graham.
I hate working out! I never get that ‘high’.
Never has the gym been my calling and I have been lucky enough to not need it.
Until a few years ago when a back problem became a nightmare.
Graham explained which of my muscles were not doing their job, which were over working and how this was impacting on my back, posture and life.
Over 12 weeks we worked at correcting these issues.
The difference was amazing. I really would not have believed it.
We have since moved on to weight training and I have learned how to lift effectively and safely.
Next step is starting on some body sculpture and he has provided me with an eating plan that works. I keep losing fat and my muscles are beginning to change. Not bad for a over forty gym hater.

HYPERTROPHY PART 1.
Hypertrophy is an enlargement of the actual muscle fibres.
There are two ways to create hypertrophy, one is through tension (mechanical stress on the muscle).
The other way is through cell swelling.
Tension causes myofibril hypertrophy, enlargement of the cross sectional area of the myosin & fibrils.
Cell swelling causes sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, as Arnold so famously called it..the pump❗️
