Insulin Builds Muscle
Insulin stimulates protein synthesis by directing ribosomes to make more protein. If that sentence didn't give you muscle-building fans at least partial wood, then I need to explain.

Muscle is made of protein. Protein is manufactured by ribosomes. Ribosomes are turned on by insulin. Allow me to quote Guyton and Hall's Textbook of Medical Physiology:

"In some unexplained way, insulin 'turns on' the ribosomal machinery. In the absence of insulin, the ribosomes simply stop working, almost as if insulin operates an 'on-off' mechanism."

So does this mean that insulin "helps" build muscle? No, it means that insulin is required to build muscle.

Insulin Inhibits Catabolism of Protein

Insulin inhibits the breakdown of muscle. Although it may not seem as exciting, the anti-catabolic nature of insulin is every bit as important as its anabolic nature.

Anyone with financial intelligence will tell you it doesn't matter how much money you make; it only matters how much money you keep. The same goes for muscle.

Every day, your body synthesizes some protein and breaks down some protein. Whether or not you gain muscle mass over time is like a physiological math game. To build muscle, you must synthesize more protein than you catabolize. It's like keeping more money without making more money.

Insulin Transports Amino Acids into Muscle Cells

Insulin actively transports certain amino acids directly into the muscle cells. Guess which amino acids get this special treatment? That's right – BCAA! Branched-chained amino acids are personally escorted into muscle cells by insulin, a very good thing if you want to build muscle!

Insulin Increases Activity of Glycogen Synthase

Insulin increases the activity of the enzymes (i.e. glycogen synthase) which stimulate glycogen formation. This is very important as it helps ensure the storage of glucose in muscle cells, thereby improving performance and recovery.

In more immediately tangible terms, muscle glycogen formation results in much fuller, denser-looking muscle.

Some people are gifted with genetics that gives them denser looking muscles without doing anything.. My best friend is one of them.. I don't have that genetics but I have an iron will to adapt through all the hardships.. So I have a better looking body than his..

Fin, penge naman ng program: gaining.

^^ Hmm.. it's not that glycogen increases muscle mass.. It just makes your muscle look fuller and harder.. When you are consuming carb-rich food, you can observe that your muscles are fuller.. banat kung baga. Whereas, you are not eating carbohydrates, you might observe na parang umiimpis ang katawan mo.., Kung baga it's like a balloon tpos ung air eh ung glycogen. Some people tend to use 'galet' when their muscles look full or pump.

4 Exercises you should avoid.

Behind the neck shoulder press - Bad to the shoulder joints.. Injured me..
Stiff Leg Deadlift with a rounded back - Bad to the back bone..
Bicycle Sit up - Bad to the back bone..
Shrugs with rotating shoulder - Bad to the shoulder joints.

If there is decrease in glycogen due to not eating carb-rich food. through out time, the body will use ketones as the main source of energy other than the usual sugar of the body.,

Glycogen depletion.. so you don't observe this to your body? Weather you feel the hardness of the muscle when you are full..  or feel the softness when you are depleted? I based things on experience and observations other than books and articles alone. The two should have an agreement.

Yup! Temporary lang.. Kaya merong mga "refill". Plus, this will give you a tighter look. Have u ever wonder why body builders eat mostly carb before a contest? It's because of a glycogen restoration to give a fuller muscle look.

Yes insulin might increase fat storation once the liver and muscle's glycogen storage are full.., But be aware that insulin also helps in building muscle as they shuttle nutrients directly to muscle specially if it's depleted after a workout.,

Hmm, I'm not sure if this article might help. I just searched it for you to have a glimpse of what I'm trying to point out.
