Understanding Muscle Development
Embarking on a journey to achieve big gains in muscle development requires a fundamental understanding of how muscles grow. Muscle development, also known as hypertrophy, occurs when muscles are subjected to progressive overload, causing micro-tears in muscle fibers. These tears are then repaired and strengthened through proper nutrition, rest, and recovery, resulting in increased muscle size and strength.
Progressive Overload: The Key to Growth
Progressive overload is the cornerstone of muscle development. It involves gradually increasing the intensity, volume, or resistance of your workouts over time to continually challenge your muscles and stimulate growth. This can be
