Understanding Muscle Breakdown During resistance training or high-intensity workouts, your muscles experience tiny tears. This is normal and actually necessary for muscle growth. However, if your body lacks proper nutrients or recovery support, it may start breaking down muscle tissue for energy, especially if glycogen stores are low or protein intake is insufficient. Signs of excessive muscle breakdown include: Persistent soreness Fatigue or low energy Decreased strength and performance Slow recovery between workouts How Post-Workout Support Helps Post-workou...
