mTOR Switch

Think of the “switch” as staying on about a day or two after you train. Don’t hit a muscle once a week then disappear.

What’s mTOR?

  • Hard sets raise signaling in muscle cells → we nickname that the mTOR switch. It isn’t the only mechanism
  • MPS is up for roughly a day or two — a simplified picture, not a guaranteed growth window
  • Same muscle ~2×/week often beats one brutal session then a long break. Training, food, and sleep still matter.
