In fact, good muscles are as soft as cotton and as hard as steel. When you relax, you are unlikely to work hard all the time. If your muscles are hard all the time, you may have exercised too much. But in general, when you exert yourself, the muscles you exercise should be hard.

Your problem is that the amount of exercise remains the same. Why are your friend's muscles harder than yours? There are many factors that determine it. Let's analyze it carefully:

1 natural physique muscle

The hardness of meat is mainly related to the tension of muscle fibers. When your muscles contract, that is, when your muscles exert force, the nerve tissue in your muscles will be stimulated to generate electrical pulses, which will lead to continuous muscle tension. In fact, muscle hardness does not have much influence on sports and training results. Some people are born with the size and length of muscle fibers, which is determined by nature. What needs to be strengthened the day after tomorrow is the endurance and explosiveness of muscles, which depends on what kind of exercise you come from. It varies from person to person and from project to project, so don't be too entangled.

2 living habits

(1) drinking

Long-term excessive drinking will affect the health of internal organs, and the appetizing function of wine makes us eat a lot of food while drinking, usually high-calorie and high-fat food. Alcohol is also a natural opponent of muscle, which will not only affect the hormone level in the body, slow down the growth of muscle, but also make you lack physical strength and endurance in the next training. Therefore, when you are ready to start fitness, you should reduce drinking, and it is best not to touch alcohol the day before training day.

(2) Sugar intake

Sugar not only makes people fat, but also accelerates aging. Controlling sugar intake is not only about eating less candy and cakes, but also carbonated drinks are the main source of sugar intake for many people. People who like to drink carbonated drinks when drinking water have higher body fat content than normal people of the same weight in most cases.

(3) Diet

People with perfect figure seldom have the habit of overeating. Many people like to eat too much food at night, so they are full. This will not only affect the quality of sleep, but also more food that can't be fully digested will be converted into fat and stored, making you fatter and fatter.

(4) Be sure to have breakfast.

Want the effect of fitness training to be good? There must be a nutritious and reasonable breakfast every day. Many people either perfunctory, or simply skip breakfast. Then wait until noon to have a big meal, which will turn more food into fat. To have a good figure, you should eat enough high-quality protein and healthy carbohydrates every morning.

(5) cook for yourself

Many people with excellent health will have the same habit, that is, cooking for themselves. Restaurants and take-away food will contain more oil, salt and fat. Cooking something by yourself can keep your body healthy at the same time. Fitness people don't need high cooking skills to master food quickly.

(6) Go to bed early and get up early

Studies show that staying up late will make you fat. Some people want to say that the weight loss after staying up late is due to the consumption of muscles and the accumulation of fat. Going to bed early and getting up early is not only beneficial to metabolism, but also beneficial to muscle recovery and growth after fitness.
