Well, according to nutrition experts, peptide bound BCAAs found in whey powders get into the skeletal
muscles at a slower rate.
If you're an advanced athlete like my friend Holger from the picture at the beginning of this article, you're going to gain
muscle at a slower rate.
Likewise, plant proteins are broken down more slowly in our bodies than animal proteins and reach
muscles at a slower rate.

Or do you want to maybe compromise muscular gains, growing
at a much
slower rate but you look lean the whole way while trying to put on
muscle?
Based on the relative
rate at which they contract,
muscle fibers can be
slow - twitch or fast - twitch.
About the twitch speed of those fibres: in age - related
muscle decline, fast - twitch
muscle fibres diminish
at twice the
rate of
slow - twitch fibres.
It's no use blaming your genes as no matter how difficult it is for some persons to build
muscle as long as they train and eat right they can gain
muscle albeit
at a
slower rate than someone more genetically gifted.
Less
muscle mass also
slows the
rate at which your body uses calories / kilojoules, which can make it more challenging to maintain a healthy weight or lose excess pounds.
At the same time, if the caloric surplus is TOO small, muscle will either not be built at all, or it will be built at a rate so unbelievably slow that it might as well not even exist in the first plac

Even if you are active, you continue to lose
muscle mass, but
at a much
slower rate.
When
muscle cells lose water, it can
slow down the
rate at which they synthesize new
muscle proteins.
While it's true that your metabolic
rate generally decreases with age, it's largely due to a corresponding decrease in
muscle mass, which in turn
slows down the
rate at which you burn calories; however, there's no reason that age needs to lead to a
slower metabolism as long as you stay active and eat healthy.
When you lay down in your bed
at this time, your
muscles relax, heart
rate and breathing
slow down, and body temperature drops.
The problem is that your joints adapt
at a much
slower rate than
muscles do.
In aerobic activities like sleeping, sitting, standing, walking, jogging and working
at a level that keeps the heart
rate below 60 - 70 % of the maximum, only the
Slow Twitch
muscle fibers participate.
