The one mistake killing your muscle growth and how to fix it fast. #podcast #gym

What exactly is glycogen and how does it affect the human body?

It helps with creating muscle tension or creating muscle contraction. And if you deplete that, then obviously your muscles don't have the energy to reproduce that energy to do work. What we want to do is put that glycogen back into the muscle so that your muscles have the ability to produce energy.

For example, if you're doing like a zone 2 cardio, is that depleting glycogen or is that burn fat?

You're depleting glycogen right around zone 3, zone 4. It's a sustainable output. Bodybuilding work, you're doing a large amount of volume, and so your body is relying on that glycogen to produce that energy. When you do so much volume, that That's when that glycogen is going to deplete. If it's lower intensity, you're primarily depending upon fats for fuel.
