How Does Lifting Weights Build Muscle?

  1. Push It

    • In order for muscle to be built, it has to be pushed past its normal limitations. Lifting weights does just that. It is important to increase weight gradually to make progress.

    Tear and Repair

    • Lifting weights basically tears muscle fibers. These fibers then heal back together stronger and larger than before.

    Progressive Overload

    • Increasing the workload to the point where only three to four reps can be performed is optimal for muscle gain. This should be done with high sets and long rest periods to fully recover between sets.
