can you cut muscles (professionally) to get the same results as weight lifting?

Question

Like if I had a professional surgeon cut my muscles super slightly other than the scars could I theoretically get stronger without weightlifting?

Answer 1

The kind of tearing that leads to muscle growth happens basically cell by cell. There’s no one place where the muscle tears. But over exertion causes a proportion of muscle cells to contract and detach from their neighbors. New cells grow and reconnect the gaps, and you build muscle mass.
