Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Building Muscle

Building muscle requires more than just lifting weights it’s about optimizing nutrition and supplementation. Essential amino acids, especially leucine and isoleucine, play a crucial role in muscle repair and growth, making protein-rich diets and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) a cornerstone for recovery. Creatine is another powerhouse supplement, enhancing muscle performance, hydration, and even neuroprotection when used correctly. Pre-workout strategies, such as incorporating arginine for better blood flow and collagen to prevent muscle breakdown, can also boost results.

Practical nutrition tips like protein-packed snacks, including muffins and pancakes, make it easier to fuel your body throughout the day. Key nutrients like selenium, boron, and quercetin support testosterone levels and muscle growth, while balancing hormones lays the foundation for optimal performance. With the right approach, building muscle becomes a sustainable and effective process.
