When working out does the muscle really tear? And if so why does it tear?

I’ve always heard that when working out the muscles in your body tear and come back stronger than before. If it’s just a tear can’t you manipulate the muscles to tear it without working out?

It’s not really tears in the way we would normally consider a tear like a piece of paper. It’s microtears throughout the muscles that, hopefully if the working out is going well, comes back harder stronger faster better.
