so the only effective way of losing muscles is practically putting yourself in a cast :( I heard that some diets can help with that but it's still hard as hell to lose muscles, I wonder if hormone therapy could help with that - but it could fuck up the whole organism
I'm in complete agreement that a lack of activity and particularly mechanical tension is probably the greatest factor in contributing to muscle loss/atrophy but that does not in tself prove that enegy restriction can not also lose to skeletal muscle protein loss. I think the risk is generally exaggerated significantly by some 'experts' but if one does combine inactivity with calorie restriction then one is likely to see greater protein loss than in an inactivity-only condition.
Agreed with the concept that the combination of inactivity and calorie restriction may be worse than inactivity alone, especially in people who are bedridden or otherwise severely limited in their movement.
hmmm.... This is kind of scary because I am sick right now and not working out until I get better (maybe in a few days). Should I at least workout a little in order to maintain muscle.
An interesting thing to address might be overtraining and lack of sleep. How does too much cardio or too much exercise promote muscle loss? When does too much cardio have a effect on muscle loss? For instance in marathon runners and sprinters.

Some people actually DO want to lose some muscle, so this is helpful.

you should do more on this concept of what to do to lose muscle. That way we can avaoid that stuff.

That's a great way to demonstrate the source of muscle loss. Thanks for making it easy to understand Brad.
