Muscle protein synthesis

Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) describes the biological process by which the body forms new muscle proteins and incorporates them into existing muscle tissue. It is the fundamental basis for muscle building, regeneration, and performance enhancement.

Through targeted strength training, microscopic tears are created within the musculature. In the subsequent recovery phase, the body responds by repairing damaged structures and rebuilding them in a stronger form. Three factors are crucial for increasing muscle protein synthesis: a sufficiently intense training stimulus, adequate recovery time, and an appropriate supply of energy and protein.

MPS is specifically stimulated through clearly structured training intervals, as with MIKE5, progressive exertion and conscious regeneration. This leads to sustainable muscle growth—without unnecessary training volume or overload.
