Miyatani et al. (2004) investigated the reliability of
muscle volume between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and ultrasound imaging.
Thus, the medial gastrocnemius appears to display
a muscle volume between 185 — 303.3 cm3 while the lateral gastrocnemius displays a somewhat smaller muscle volume of around 185.6 cm3.
Not exact matches
The line
between training with heavy and light weights have been blurred by a recent study which showed that subjects that did high - rep sets (around 30 reps) to failure experienced gains in
muscle mass similar to group that trained heavy using 6 - 8 reps.. The higher training
volume is, logically, an aerobic challenge which causes a higher caloric burn during one workout, thus keeping you lean and athletic in the process.
Therefore, manipulating the tempo will produce important differences in
muscle adaptation, based on its effects on the correlation
between volume and time under tension.
The results were unexpected — despite the differences in TUT per set, both groups experienced similar increases in
muscle growth because the researchers had equated
volume - load
between groups.
We have to understand that in order to gain
muscles, we have to make sure that, yes, our protein intake is quite high but, more importantly, that we are lifting heavy weights in the gym following a consistent, efficient hypertrophy program that takes into consideration the number of sets and repetitions, the tempo, the training
volume, the time under tension, the duration of rest
between the sets, etc., etc..
By the way, this
volume difference
between fat and
muscle is exactly why you don't need to worry about «bulking up.»
For this study, ten male and ten female athletes were assigned to creatine or placebo groups, where, before and after the three - day creatine supplementation period, they were assessed on repeated sprint performance and thigh
muscle volume - the creatine group was given 0.35 grams of creatine per kilogram of fat free mass, and all subjects completed six maximal ten second cycle sprints with 60 seconds of recovery in
between.
Dose - response relationship
between weekly resistance training
volume and increases in
muscle mass: A systematic review and meta - analysis.
So yes,
muscle seems to weigh more because there is a difference in the
volume between the two.
Since the gluteus maximus is substantially larger by weight and
volume, this highlights the substantial difference in
muscle architecture
between the gluteus maximus, which is much longer and functions as a prime mover, and the gluteus medius, which is shorter and functions primarily as a stabiliser (Ward et al. 2009).
BUT when you do a ton of sets you create the need for that amount of time
between workouts because each session would take three hours if you hit more than one or two
muscle groups on a typical high
volume bodybuilding program.
Additionally, Bex et al. (2016) found a strong association
between the ratio of hamstring - to - quadriceps
muscle volumes and IAAF score in the sprinters (r = 0.81), but not in endurance runners.
In this study reporting a cross-section of individuals attending a clinic for imaging scans, we can see that there is quite large variability
between individuals in terms of hip
muscle volumes, especially when it comes to the larger
muscles, such as the gluteus maximus.
The neck in «Ulla,» with its jarring differences
between the thin line that defines the right chin and the bold diagonal brushstroke that suggests the sternodeidomastoid
muscle, amplifies a sense of
volume.
