Muscle Building

Muscle building, or hypertrophy, occurs when the body adapts to strength training by increasing the size and strength of muscle fibers. During exercise, especially resistance movements, muscle fibers experience tiny tears. The body repairs these tears by fusing fibers, which makes muscles thicker and stronger over time. Nutrition, particularly adequate protein intake, supports this process, and rest allows recovery. Consistent training, proper technique, and gradual progression are essential for effective muscle growth. Overall, it’s a biological adaptation where the muscles become more robust to meet the demands placed upon them.
