mentions fitness on the Internet, many people think of relying on technology. But there is a very prominent problem. Since everyone knows how to use these things, why are muscle sticks like and Schwarzenegger still rare? Even if the average person uses all the means and techniques of bodybuilding, he still cannot obtain plump muscles.
In the field of bodybuilding, technology is very important, and sometimes protein powder, nitrogen pumps, steroids are used as supplements. However, even with the efforts of humans and the assistance of technology, the human with the strongest muscle mass is still insufficient compared to the gorilla . Even Tyson, one of the strongest fighting men, has said that he has no chance of winning against gorillas. Of course, fighting is another issue. While strong muscles are important, carving skills are more important.
And gorillas don't have protein powder, why are gorillas so muscular? The main problem here is species differences. Different species have different evolutionary processes. The ancestors of humans and gorillas diverged 8 million years ago. After a long history, although there are still a large number of genes similar to humans, the differences in genes are also increasing. There is a big difference between humans and gorillas.
Human muscles don't seem to have as much visual impact as gorillas, in part because gorillas have a larger body. In the evolution of human beings, due to the staple food meat and plant food, which makes the human gastrointestinal have undergone major changes, the human large intestine has been weakened. And gorillas eat plant food, so the large intestine is developed, and plants are difficult to digest, so the gorilla body occupies a larger proportion, the stomach volume is much larger than that of humans, and the large intestine is more developed.
At the same time, the brain capacity of gorillas is not as good as that of humans, and the brain is a higher energy-consuming organ. The small brain capacity allows a larger part of the energy ingested by gorillas to be used by the body. At the same time, due to the upright walking of humans, the lower limbs become relatively long, while the hind limbs of gorillas are very strong, but the visual effect is much shorter, and their upper arms appear thicker, which is similar to that of gorillas. The way of walking, you can rely on your arms to swing between the trees.
And this evolutionary process also makes the gorilla's muscles more powerful. Survival on a tree requires a lot of arm strength, and the arm strength is so weak that it is easy to fall from the tree and die. Human beings suffered from such a predicament in the early stage. Lucy girl is an orangutan who fell from the tree and died. Natural selection has caused gorillas to be quite muscular, and this is reflected in their genes. There are occasionally some individuals with the corresponding gene mutation in human beings. There was once a young child in , Germany, . When he was one year old, his buttocks and arm muscles far surpassed those of his peers, and the mouse restricted muscles. After the gene knocked out , the muscles of the mice also increased significantly.
Finally, it is a matter of nutrition and living habits. People who lack professional knowledge will think that protein powder is the key to muscle. Although gorillas don't have protein powder, gorillas can also get enough protein from plants. Animals can't live without enough protein, just plants. Protein is slightly harder to absorb, so gorillas eat a lot. Human-made protein powder is actually derived from a variety of plant seeds. Its main function is to supplement the consumption of protein during training and avoid excessive muscle consumption.
Due to the social division of labor, modern human beings have different jobs. Due to the development of modern productivity, there are fewer people engaged in heavy physical labor, and human muscles are usually adapted to certain jobs, just like some porters. The muscles are not very strong, but they have excellent endurance, and some professionally trained people may not be able to match them. Only a few people pursue the sculpting of muscles, and of course such people cannot lack financial support.
Human muscles are not very strong, but very functional, with a certain amount of strength and agility. In addition to adequate nutrition, bodybuilders actually put in effort beyond their expectations. They need to perform high-frequency, large-scale strength training to stimulate compensatory muscle hypertrophy and reduce body fat content. Fat loss is more conducive to the appearance of muscle contours, and the compensatory hypertrophy of muscles makes the visual effect of muscles stand out.
Gorillas live on trees and under trees. Because the staple food is plant food, and this kind of food is not very digestible, gorillas need more activities to forage. At the same time, going up and down from the tree every day is strength training. Just like human bodybuilders, strong muscles depend on adequate nutrition and adequate strength training. I only see people who eat protein powder. Even if the manufacturer provides him with protein powder that he can't eat in his entire life, it is still difficult for him to exercise strong muscles.
The differences in muscles between humans and gorillas are mainly innate and acquired strength activities. Modern human beings are pampered. Many people no longer need to maintain heavy physical labor. They can’t even walk 5,000 steps a day, and their muscles naturally lose a lot, but they can maintain their daily life. Suddenly it is difficult to do a pull-up . If you keep doing it, many people won't even be able to do both.
