Hormonal fluctuations cause small, variable effects on strength, but muscle protein synthesis and growth can occur at any point in the menstrual cycle.
A new study examined how muscles respond to weight training when people eat different types of pork afterward. Researchers compared high-fat and lean ground pork burgers that contained the same amount of protein to see how each affected short-term muscle growth. The results surprised the team and added to growing evidence that the body's muscle-building process after exercise depends not just on how much protein is consumed, but on the type of protein as well.
