When training on simulators, working with barbells and dumbbells, and in general during any intense training activity, recovery processes in the body can be activated in various ways. pharmacological agents. Exist pharmaceutical drugs, stimulating the body’s adaptation to extreme conditions and accelerating recovery processes. These include ginseng extract and tincture (use 10-12 drops in 3 doses per day for 10-15 days), eEleutherococcus extract (take 2 ml daily half an hour before eating for 3 weeks). After a 10-day break, you can repeat the course. Similar drugs are Aralia extracts, Leuzea And lures in addition, they have a stimulating effect on the nervous system.
Has adaptive properties dibazole - a synthetic drug (taken 0.01 g once a day, duration of administration - 7 days, followed by a week's break).
For heavy training loads, to normalize metabolism and increase performance, it is recommended to use vitamins, which have great restorative power.
Vitamins for bodybuilding and fitness
Here is the daily requirement for vitamins (in mg) for bodybuilding athletes:They have proven to be very effective in terms of restoring the body. vitamin complexes, produced by domestic and foreign industry, such as “Undevit”, “Kvadevit”, “Megagrisevit”, “Supradin ROSH”, “Unicap M”, etc.
In addition to multivitamins, these complexes contain minerals and trace elements, necessary for metabolic processes. You should take only one of these complexes, since excessive consumption of vitamins can have a negative effect on the body.
During intensive training activities with “iron” and on simulators, regardless of the systematic intake of vitamin complexes, you can also take a number of individual vitamins. First of all, these are the most necessary vitamins for bodybuilding: C, PP and B15. If there is noticeable fatigue of the nervous system, vitamins B1, B6, B12 are recommended for therapeutic purposes.
The use of Inosine in combination with potassium orotate (orotic acid) is justified. This drug is used both for purely preventive purposes and to eliminate cardiac dysfunction under increased stress on the body. Orotic acid is also indicated for liver dysfunction (caused by cardiovascular failure). During intensive training, athletes take two tablets 3 times a day, an hour before eating.
Close in its action to “Inosine” is AMP (adenosine monophosphoric acid). The anabolism of AMF is higher than that of Inosine. Taken after training before meals, 0.025 g 2 times a day for three weeks. Methylurocil is used for the same purpose as potassium orotate. The therapeutic dose is 2-3 tablets per day for 3 weeks. For athletes weighing over 90 kg, the dose can be doubled.
The following drugs enhance recovery processes and improve performance:
- MAP (muscular adenyl drug) - can replace Inosine, take 1 tablespoon 2 times a day, preferably in combination with potassium orotate
- ATP (1% solution in ampoules) – injection every other day for 2 weeks
- phosphoden (adenosine monophosphate) - 2 tablets 3 times a day
- glutamic acid - up to 2 grams per day a quarter or half an hour before training
- methionine - 0.5-1.5 grams 3 times a day, in short courses of 10 days, half an hour - an hour before meals.
To normalize metabolism, it is recommended to take amino acids. They are a plastic material for protein synthesis. "Starkprotein" (Sweden) is the most effective drug containing a complex of amino acids. Take 2 capsules, 2 - 3 doses per day, for 20 days.
Actively influences energy processes, ensures increased performance, prevents heart rhythm disturbances panangin. Use this drug 1-2 tablets, 2-3 times a day, for 3 weeks.
To drugs that promote energy storage, relate:
- cerebrolecithin (requires 3-6 tablets per day)
- lipocerebrine (1-2 tablets, take 3 times a day, lasting 10-20 days). In his book “Development of Maximum Muscles and Their Outlines,” A. Schwarzenegger recommends taking lecithin in the pre-competition period, when training for relief.
"Essentiale Forte" contains phospholipids, enhanced by a complex of vitamins B and E. The drug is usually used in 1-2 capsules, with a frequency of 3 doses per day, strictly with meals. The average course duration is up to 20 days.
Currently, various methods are used to stimulate recovery processes and improve performance. pharmacological complexes. Now, having understood in detail which pharmaceutical drugs are used in bodybuilding and fitness for what purpose, we will present several of the most common combinations, used for large volume and intensity loads.
