 Okay, we all know that the quickest way to build muscle is to use progressive weight training.
Progressive means that as soon as you get used to lifting a certain amount of weight, you add a little more. Over time, you'll get stronger because your muscles adapt by getting larger to handle the added weight.
Our bodies adapt to whatever stress we regularly put it through. When you lift weights, what you're doing is actually tearing the muscle tissue in a healthy way. When you eat the proper nutrition, mostly protein, they'll actually repair themselves. In fact, they get stronger and bigger without lifting more weight.
As you continue to lift more weight, your muscles will keep adapting to this increased overload. So they get bigger.
But one thing you may not know, is, lifting weights actually causes muscle fiber damage. And this microscopic damage needs to heal properly if you're going to gain any muscle.
There are type A and type B fibers in your muscles.
