Very eli5:

You’re weight lifting hard enough to damage your body. Your body goes “damn this is too much for us. We need to get stronger!” So it rebuilds the tears in your muscles and puts some extra to fortify it for the next work out. Keep doing it and eventually your muscles get noticeably bigger and stronger.
