How to Build Muscle with Red Light Therapy | Bodybuilding

If you wish you could pack on 10 to 20 pounds of muscle but don’t want to have to
go through the trouble or pain of injecting yourself with testosterone and other
anabolic steroids, then this presentation is for you.
This presentation is also for you if you’re a professional bodybuilder who is looking
for a secret weapon that will give you the edge over your competition.
We’ve already seen the remarkable muscle performance enhancement that red
light therapy can give you (endalldisease.com/episode14) but what about muscle
growth? Can red light really help you pack on more muscle?
In this presentation we’re going to find out if red light therapy can help you build
bigger muscles and the body you want - whether it’s to help you win that upcoming
bodybuilding competition or to boost your confidence and overall health.

Can lighttherapyboost testosterone in rats?
• A 2013 Korean study by scientists from Dankook University and Wallace
Memorial Baptist Hospital tested light therapy on the serum testosterone
levels of rats.
• 30 rats aged six weeks were administered either red or near-infrared
light for one 30 minute treatment, everyday for 5 days.
• “Serum T level was significantly elevated in the 670nm wavelength
group on day 4.”
• “Thus the LLLT using a 670-nm diode laser was effective in increasing
serum T level without causing any visible histopathological side effects.
• “In conclusion, the LLLT might be an alternative treatment modality to
the conventional types of testosterone replacement therapy.”[1]
Red Light Benefits:  IncreaseD Testosterone

• Russian scientists tested the effects of light therapy on
human fertility in couples having trouble conceiving.
• The study tested the magnetolaser on 188 males
diagnosed with infertility and chronic prostatitis in
2003.
• Magnetolaser therapy is red or near-infrared laser
administered inside a magnetic field.
• The treatment was found to “elevate the level of
serum sexual and gonadotropic hormones,” and
remarkably, one year later pregnancy occurred in
around 50% of the couples.[2]
Red Light Benefits:
 Increased sexual hormones
 Increased fertility by almost 50%
Can Red Light Boost Testosterone in humans?

• Brazilian scientists from the Federal University of São Paulo tested
the effects of light therapy (808nm) on 64 obese women in 2015.
• Group 1: Exercise (aerobic & resistance) training + phototherapy
• Group 2: Exercise (aerobic & resistance) training + no phototherapy.
• The study took place over a 20 week period during which exercise
training was performed 3-times per week. Light therapy was
administered at the end of each training session.
• Remarkably, the women who received the near-infrared light therapy
following exercise doubled the amount of fat loss compared to
exercise alone.
• Additionally, the women in the exercise + phototherapy group were
reported to have a greater increase in skeletal muscle mass than the
placebo group.[3]
Red Light Benefits:
 2x Increased fat loss
 Increased muscle mass
Can Red Light Meltbody Fat?

• The exercise program was 8-weeks of knee extensor training.
Wavelength: 810nm Dose: 240J
• The men that received light therapy before training “reached
significantly higher percent changes” compared to the exercise
only group “for sum of muscles’ thicknesses, isometric peak
torque and eccentric peak torque.”
• In fact, the muscle thickness and strength increases were more
than 50% greater for those who used light therapy before
exercise.[4]
Red Light Benefits:
 Increased Muscle Size
 Increased Muscle Strength
• In 2015, Brazilian researchers wanted to find out if light therapy could build muscle and enhance
strength in 30 male athletes. The study compared one group of men who used light therapy +
exercise with a group that did exercise only and a control group.
Can Red Light Boost MuscleGains?

• Australian and Brazilian scientists investigated the effects of light therapy on
exercise muscle fatigue in 18 young women.
Wavelength: 904nm Dose: 130J
• Light therapy was administered before exercise, and the exercise consisted
of one set of 60 concentric quadricep contractions.
• Women who received laser therapy before exercise had “significantly
reduced muscle fatigue” and “reduced ratings of perceived exertion.”
• The light therapy “increased peak torque, time to peak torque, total work,
average power, and average peak torque.”
• The study concluded that light therapy “was effective in reducing fatigue
levels and increasing muscle performance” in young women.[5]
Red Light Benefits:
 Increased time until exhaustion
 Reduced perceived exertion
 Increased Torque
 Increased power
 Increased total work
Can red light Boost muscularStrength?

• In a 2015 review, researchers analyzed trials that
used red and near-infrared light on muscles
before exercise and found the time until
exhaustion and the number of reps performed
following light therapy increased significantly.
• “The time until exhaustion increased significantly
compared to placebo by 4.12 s and the number
of repetitions increased by 5.47 after
phototherapy.”
• “We conclude that phototherapy (with lasers and
LEDs) improves muscular performance and
accelerate recovery mainly when applied before
exercise.”[6]
Red Light Benefits:
 Increased Reps
 Increased Time Until Exhaustion
Can Red Light acceleratemuscleRecovery?

• A 2014 review looked at 17 studies on the effects of red light
therapy on skeletal muscle repair for the treatment of muscle
injuries.
• “The main effects of LLLT were a reduction in the
inflammatory process, the modulation of growth factors and
myogenic regulatory factors, and increased angiogenesis.”
• The studies analyzed demonstrate the positive effects of red
light on the muscle repair process.
• “The findings suggest that LLLT is an excellent therapeutic
resource for the treatment of skeletal muscle injuries.”[7]
Red Light Benefits:  accelerated recovery from injury
Can red light AccelerateHealingof Injuries?

• A 2016 review and meta analysis by Brazilian researchers looked
at all existing studies on the ability of light therapy to increase
muscle performance and overall exercise capacity. Sixteen studies
involving 297 participants were included.
• Exercise capacity parameters included number of repetitions, time
to exhaustion, blood lactate concentration and lactate
dehydrogenase activity.
• Muscle performance parameters included torque, power and
strength.
• The study found that when laser therapy was applied, lactate levels
were reduced, peak torque increased, number of reps increased
by 3.51, and time to exhaustion increased by 4.01s.[8]
Red Light Benefits:
 Reduced Lactate
 Increased Strength
 Increased Repetitions
 Increased Time Until Exhaustion
Can Red Light Enhance MusclePerformance?

• US and Brazilian researchers worked together on
a 2016 review which included 46 studies on the
use of light therapy for sports performance in
athletes.
• One of the researchers was Dr. Michael Hamblin
from Harvard University who has been
researching red light for decades.
• The study concluded that red and near-infrared
light therapies can increase muscle mass and
decrease inflammation and oxidative stress.
Red Light Benefits:
 Increased MuscleMass
 Decreased Inflammation
 Decreased Oxidative Stress
2016 Review: Can RedLight buildMuscle Mass?
“We raise the question of whether PBM should be permitted in athletic competition by
international regulatory authorities.”[9]
