What is the difference and connection between male fitness and muscle gain

To put it simply, the relationship between the two is to include and be included - muscle gain is a branch of the many goals of male fitness, but the differences between the two in practical logic, threshold requirements, and evaluation standards are as big as home-cooked food and professional chef's exam dishes, which are completely different.

If you look at any gym after get off work, you will know that they wear quick-drying clothes and run on the elliptical machine for forty minutes, touch two sets of fixed equipment to do shoulder and back exercises, then shower and leave. Most of them come for general fitness. What they want is to avoid catching colds, not breathing when climbing stairs, and not having shoulder and neck pain after sitting for a long time. I Lao Zhou, who lives in the gym downstairs at home, is like this. He goes to the gym five times a week in his forties, plays badminton for two hours and stretches his shoulders for ten minutes. His body fat is stable at 15% all year round, but the total weight of the three major items has only just reached 300 kilograms. Even protein powder is too sweet and he doesn't touch it. Are you saying he doesn't exercise? His physical fitness is far behind that of a sedentary person of the same age, but you say he is gaining muscle? He himself has to laugh at you for not knowing what you are doing. If you are trying to gain muscle, then the whole process has to focus on repairing muscle fiber tears. The young man I took care of last year, who just graduated, in order to gain 2 kilograms of lean body weight in two months, he kept counting the grams of carbohydrates and protein he ate, and he was so hungry at 10 p.m. I don't dare to touch the fried skewers downstairs for fear that the excess calories will turn into body fat. During training, I have to hit the rest point in each set. If I do aerobic for ten more minutes, I am afraid of losing muscles. The degree of seriousness is completely different from the relaxation of ordinary fitness. It’s interesting to talk about. Nowadays, the Internet is always arguing about this matter. Some people say that fitness training that is not focused on building muscle is just a blind exercise, and you can’t see any results after spending time. The other group says that building muscle only produces dead muscles, which are not used in daily life. In fact, both opinions are quite extreme. The former is to set one’s own goals. Of all the people, the latter is just complaining because they have never touched the threshold of fitness. I helped a friend move a while ago. The friend had been training for four years to build muscle. He carried two large solid wood wardrobes up to the sixth floor without gasping for air. We who had not practiced systematically were shaking from exhaustion when moving a desk. What kind of dead muscles are there.

In fact, the two are not that clear cut. Many people don’t want to gain muscle at all when they start working out, but just want to lose weight. As they practice, they find that it is no longer difficult to carry 20 kilograms of rice upstairs, and their arms can be stretched a little while wearing a T-shirt. In fact, daily training has the benefit of building muscle. Even if you don’t deliberately count calories and eat protein, as long as strength training provides enough stimulation, the muscles will grow to some extent. On the other hand, if you want to specifically build muscle, you must first lay a solid foundation for general fitness, practice the correct movement patterns, and keep up with your cardiopulmonary function. Otherwise, if you hit heavy weights, your waist will be exhausted first, and there will be no talk of building muscle. To put it bluntly, fitness is just like your usual driving, walking, and self-driving tours. The purpose is whatever makes you feel comfortable. Building muscle is like driving a car to run a track race. The goal is clear. The route, supplies, and driving skills must be based on standard cards. Do you think track racing counts as driving? Of course it counts, but we can’t require everyone who drives to run a race to get a ranking, right?

I have been practicing for almost six years. At the beginning, I was only focused on improving my arm circumference and counting grams when I ate until I vomited. Now I have become more like a Buddha. Sometimes when I am tired from work, I go to the gym and swim for half an hour, which is also considered as completing the fitness task of the day. If I am in good condition, I will hit a heavy weight and build some muscles. To put it bluntly, whether it is casual training or running to build muscle, if it can make my body comfortable and in better condition, it is better than anything else.
