You get sore muscles when you train, because you muscle strings rip and when they heal, your muscles grow. As far as I know. So why and how do they shrink?

To hit on the “why” portion:
Humans had to deal with periods of feast or famine in the past (moreso than other species) and keeping bulky muscles is expensive. So if we don’t use them, we have the neat evolutionary trait of losing our unneeded muscles so we don’t waste calories maintaining them. Which is perfectly fine in the sort of hunter-gatherer scenario we were evolved for and is a real kick in the gut for sedentary office workers.
