As opposed to the human body controlling muscle growth from within?
In: 76
You need a stimulus to trigger the muscle to grow. Growing new tissue uses a lot of energy and the body wants to be as efficient as possible. It’s not going to just grow energy hungry muscles for no reason. So lifting weights puts lots of stress on the muscle cells, actually damages the muscles a bit, and this triggers the body to build it back strong to prevent it from happening.
