Blog entry about glycogen, how muscles store water, etc.

bahacca

Someone here posted a link and wrote a blog article that was really in depth about the physiology behind muscles storing glycogen and water and thus causing weight gain and such. I cannot remember the member's name and it was posted in a thread a few weeks ago, so it is lost unless I try to go through hundreds of posts. I want to say the member name had 1 capital letter and the rest lowercase. HELP ME!

No-I believe it was written by an MFP member on their MFP blog. The guy who wrote it said he was a research fiend and just wrote it all out after all his research. Thanks for posting that article though!

That was me by the way. Sorry I never saw this before. Feel free to ask me any questions if you have them.

bump because if you dont know what glycogen is you should read it just to save your mind some pain when you start temporarily gaining weight or thinking you're becoming a big cow.
