180FIT Homework out solution series part 4 how your muscle grows
Chapter 3: How Muscle Growth Works
Now you have the gym, it’s time to learn how to use all that equipment in order to start triggering some serious growth. How to you get muscle to grow? How can you do this from the comfort of your own home with none of the hep or guidance you would get by working out in a real gym? Let’s take a look...
The Basics
In order to build muscle, you need to trigger hypertrophy. This is simply the technical term for muscle growth and it actually occurs when you’re resting. This makes muscle building a ‘two- part’ process. Part one is the exercise that breaks down the muscle and marks it for growth and part two is the growth stage that occurs after you’ve finished lifting when you’re at rest.
This can occur through two separate methods. These are:
Myofibrillar Hypertrophy
And
Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy
The precise science behind these principles is still something that is being argued and there are those that deny that these are accurate descriptions. However, ask any bodybuilder and they’ll tell you that broadly there are two ways to build muscle that seemingly correlate with these concepts.
Those two ways are:
Muscle Damage
And
Metabolic Stress
On top of that you have something else at play, which is the ability to build strength. Strength is often but not always related to muscle size. The other factor that is involved then and that you need to account for is:
Muscle Fiber Recruitment
