How exactly does damaging your muscles through exercising make it stronger when it gets rebuilt?
In: 4
After exercising, your muscle fibers are damaged. If you eat enough protein, sleep for 8 hrs and rest enough between your workouts, your body rebuilds and repairs your muscles. The body also adapts to the new workload and builds more muscle fibers, enabling you to lift more weight the next time you work out. The cycle can start again.
