hypertrophy

Hypertrophy refers to the increase in size of muscle cells, usually as a result of strength training or resistance exercises. When you challenge your muscles with weights or effort, the muscle fibers experience tiny tears. During recovery, these fibers repair and grow larger, leading to increased muscle mass. This process enhances strength, endurance, and appearance. Hypertrophy is a common goal for those looking to improve muscle size and overall physical fitness through consistent training and proper nutrition.
