尽管肌肉构建不容易,与男性相比我也有天然优势

走近百大冠军第177期Emily(NPC Bikini):男人和女人的训练应该不同吗?Should men and women train differently?

尽管你可能这么想:只要目标和环境同等,脂肪的减少和肌肉的增长并不存在男女差异。Despite what you may think, as long as the goals and circumstances are equal, fat loss and muscle gain do not care if you are a man or woman.

然而,有几个关键的不同点:男性明显比女性拥有更多的睾酮,使得在较低频率下肌肉构建更加容易。However, there are a few key differneces: men have SIGNIFICANTLY more testosterone than women, making muscle building much easier under lower frequencies.

男性和女性的脂肪分布不同,这是由于身体生殖的需要——以及关键的雌激素。men and women distribute fat differently due to the body's desire to store it as it sees appropriate to reproduce -and the key——ESTROGEN.

雌激素是一把双刃剑。根据MC周期,女性体内的激素水平会有上升和下降,这会引起基于荷尔蒙水平导致的水分滞留、饥饿和肌肉疲劳。Estrogen is a double edge sword. Women have rising and falling levels based on their menstrual cycle which can cause water retention, hunger, and muscular fatigue based on where your hormone levels are.

但从某种意义上说是种优势,它也允许女性操心更多的事情。But it is also kind of cool in the sense that it allows women to do more....

与男性相比,女性在疲劳之前可以进行更多的锻炼次数、组数和频率。Women can handle more reps, sets, and frequency before they fatigue in comparison to men.

但另一方面,女性也需要更多的训练容量来充当训练刺激。But on the flip side,women will also need more volume to act as a training stimulus.

这并不意味着没有例外,但我完全相信,女人应该充分利用并且获得雌激素在训练中的优势!This does not mean that there are not exceptions, but I totally believe that all women should take full advantage of and reap the benefits of Estrogen in their training!
