Muscle Growth

With the introduction of such modern conveniences such as the automobile, remote

control, and even the electric toothbrush people are relying on technology to do

everything for them. With a generation growing up in todays society physical

tasks have almost become obsolete. Tasks such as even going shopping and going

out to visit a friend can be done from the comfort of your own computer. With

this sedentary lifestyle, muscular size will almost be unnecessary, except for

the athlete who wants to succeed in sports. To the non-athlete, there will be

no reason to leave the house because everything that you need will be at your

fingertips, you will not have to get up and do anything. Any type of exercise

is good for the body and muscles. Muscle growth is essential if you want to

look better, feel better, and perform everyday tasks such as walking to the car,

and getting out of bed easier. A person who is in shape will also sleep better

then an out of shape person, and feel more revitalized in the morning.

Muscles account for approximently 35% of the body weight in women, and about 45%

of the body weight in men. With over 600 muscles covering the human skeleton

muscles give the body bulk and form. Then human body contains millions of

muscle fibres whose coordinated contraction cause the whole muscle to contract.

Muscles are the foundation on which our bodies are built. Without muscles our

bodies could not perform the simplest tasks such as opening our eyes, talking,

breathing and even the pumping of our heart or the most difficult tasks, such as

running the hurdles in a track and field event.. Muscles are also important to

maintain balance and posture.

Description of Muscles

In the body there are several types of muscles that control different functions

in the body, one of these types being skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is the

most evident in the human body due to it having the most mass the other types of

muscles and that it lies directly under the skin attached to the skeleton by

tendons and ligaments.

Skeletal muscles are divided into three structural units, the entire muscle, the

muscle bundle, and the muscle fiber (cell). Each muscle fiber is divided into

two types of fiber structure, fusiform and pennate, with the pennate being

broken up into three basic structures. These structures being the un...

...ng program you should

properly stretch the muscles being worked in order to keep them loose.

Stretching should also be done directly after a workout because the muscles are

still warm and can be stretched more easily. This will also increase

flexibility which can be very advantageous in preventing injuries such as muscle

sprains and strains.

A Conclusion to Muscle Growth

A muscle growth program can be beneficial to everybody, from the young athlete

wanting to succeed in sports, to the older man trying to help stay and feel

young. The benefits of muscle growth are too high to be passed out by anybody

who has any sort of ambition of feeling better about themselves, looking better,

and having more energy for everyday tasks. You will find that once you start

weight training, and muscle and strength growths are noticed that it will almost

become addicting and the desire for bigger and better results will become

greater and greater. I would recommend muscle growth to anybody, and anyone who

disagrees should give it a try, just for a little while, and after the results

of improved strength and muscle size are noticed weight training will become a

part of their life.

  • Two Empires In Japan

    Two Empires In Japan by John M.L. Young and The Christian Confrontation with Shinto Nationalism by Kun Sam Lee were the two books I used for this topic. The former, an intimate 100 year chronicle of the persecution by the Asian government with their demands that all people bow in Kyujo-yohai, ( worshipping the Imperial House from afar); and the struggle of the Japanese Christians in times of compromise and triumph under such totalitarian pressure. The latter a more detailed historical account of old Shinto and the earliest Christian missionaries.

    However, this was not always the case, “between 1870 and 1884, Shinto bureaucrats attempted to make a state religion out of Shinto through the Great Promulgation Campaign” (Bary 538). This campaign failed miserably due to the fact that, “the creed had no basis in popular religious life and because it was composed of platitudes about obeying authority and revering the emperor, the people found it incomprehensible and its priests ludicrous (Bary 538) When the campaign failed, Shinto fell out of favour among the people, however, there was another attempt in the works. After the Great Promulgation Campaign there was a movement to incorporate Shinto shrines and practices with imperial practices and traditions. This movement focused on the issue previously stated about the previous attempt at creating a state religion, and worked. From 1900 with the creation of the national association of shrine priests to 1940 with the formal creation of the Bureau of Divinity, State Shinto became more that a religion, it was a way of life. The Japanese government able to make State Shinto, “suprareligious in that, first, it transcended the beliefs of a mortal founder and, second, it embodied the essence of the Japanese nation, its divine creation, and the divinity of imperial rule” (Bary 539). A prime example of the supremacy of State Shinto is the suppression of other religions. Between 1921 and 1935 a new religion,

  • The Importance Of Materiality In The Digital Record

    730 Words  | 2 Pages

    Indeed, Matthew Kirschbaum describes two types of materiality: forensic and formal. Forensic being evidential, the physical traces on the record (i.e. ink, finger prints etc.) and formal being structures of human expression such as the layout or design. Both contribute to the context of a record, be it digital or paper. As time passes forensic materiality can indeed change, ink or finger prints may be added, for example. Rekrut calls for an improvement to existing archival description structures as they do not currently explicitly support recording physical characteristics as evidence. She goes on to argue that this information would contribute to “the understanding the records, their creators and custodians, or explain the relationships between the physical information and the other information present, such as text and images.” Mike Savage goes as far as to argue that it is the form, rather than the content, which serves as indications of what society was like. It is, therefore, evident that materiality is subject to change and is of utmost value to recordkeeping. It does not only provide context regarding the records creation and society, it also serves as an indication of how the record evolves and how following societies interpret (and indeed maintain)

    Shinto is a native religion of Japan and the people of Japan. It is defined as an action centered religion, focused on ceremonial practices to be carried out thoroughly, to establish a assembly between present-day Japan and its ancient past. Shinto practices were first recorded and organized in the written historical records of the Jokiki and Nihon Shoki in the 8th century (Nelson 7-8). Still, these early Japanese writings do not refer to a joined “Shinto religion”, but rather to a gathering of native beliefs and mythology.

  • Good Nutrition Is More Important Than Exercise

    1017 Words  | 3 Pages

    A lot of people are trying to build muscles in their body by working out. They work out by lifting heavy weights. However, when working out to building muscle, one needs to consume healthy foods and more proteins. After finishing a workout, the muscles in the body have microscopic tears to form in the fiber and connective tissues. This will cause the muscles to be tired and damaged. To repair the muscle, consume healthy foods and more protein. When one get enough foods in the body, the muscles will use the nutrients from the foods consumed and slowly rebuild, resulting in muscles in the body to increase size, strength, and muscle capacity. When I was in grade 9, I started to lift weight and I was new to it. After a few days of working out my body was experiencing any change. I realized that the reason my body was not experiencing change is because of what I was eating. I was not eating much protein and healthy foods.
