Get Intense For Big Muscle Growth
Recently I stumbled across a study published back in 1997 in Medicine and Science in Sports Exercise (29:669-676; 1997) that related back to growth hormone release from intense training. In my own experience I found that along with a proper diet, high intensity exercise allowed me to grow muscle well over a 6 year period. "The authors of the study suggest that with exercise experience - at the same level of intensity - GH secretion is either reduced or degraded more rapidly. Other studies show that it takes at least 10 minutes of high intensity exercise - enough to cause a pronounced muscle-burning sensation -to elicit a significant GH response" (Jordan E. , 1999).
With that said, remember the adage of keeping it "short but sweet". If you are looking at maximizing muscular gains, along with all other factors (e.g. diet) keep the intensity high on the gym floor, and you will get great gains in muscle size and density.
