Muscles

Do you want to be a muscle man? Buff, strong, attract the ladies ;) I'm sure you do. First, you have to know how to get it. You know that old myth that working out builds muscle? That's not entirely true. Working out technically reduces muscle mass. This is, on the alternative, helpful to gaining muscle. As long as you work out, and eat enough protein, your muscle mass will sky-rocket. If you eat at least as many grams of protein as you have body weight in pounds, you'll be set for that day. For instance, say you weigh 130 lbs. Eat 130 g of protein a day. Would you like to understand it? Here's how:
Protein is made up of amino acids. Amino acids are amino-carboxyl. Amino is NH(2) and Carboxyl is COOH. Amino-carboxyl is N2CO2H3. A protein molecule is about 1000 of these, so protein is a pretty big molecule, with no specific formula. Protein is then broken down in your body, and you excrete what is un-needed, and your muscles and fat content take the rest!
