Muscle Breakdown & Repair
Hey y'all, regarding this post from @lostbookofherbalremedies that was shared on the @Aniflex App IG, I wanted to ask: Doesn't muscle start to breakdown after 1 or 2 weeks of disuse? To that affect, I know some exercise regimens, particularly strength training ones, are optimized with greater rest periods between heavy days since it takes a long time for the CNS to recover. So my question is, how is it that muscle repair indeed takes 6 to 8 weeks but also starts to breakdown within 2? And to add to that: how can CNS recovery with extended rest periods compensate for any loss of muscle? My premise or my point may be incorrect here so feel free to address any aspect of my reasoning.
