I believe muscles don’t quite grow as much as they just repair and expand so you would need very advanced gear to do that without risking a detrimental result. Yes you could theoretically use artificial stimuli to promote it, there are studies on mentally perceiving more resistance positively influencing muscle growth, but its probably going to be better to just develop regular activity. Plus you wouldn’t have a suitable adjustment of the heart and cardiovascular system as a whole to support it.
