Muscle Hypertrophy Explained (What Makes Muscle Grow) 

self-development through self-destruction

dude is 0% body fat, he's even transparent.

"Before creation comes destruction." -Beerus

Eat many food, lift many weight, be big.

Translation: No pain, no gain

props to the guy painting his skin transparent so we can see how muscles grow.

Moral of the story: Keep going until you physically can't.

basically this exact video was in one of my anatomy and physiology assignments in fall quarter and I couldn't be bothered to pay attention yet for some reason when it's in RU-vid shorts I'm interested

*lactic acid has left the chat*

What’s cool about muscle memory is that if you were jacked once, and stopped working out for some reason, lost a ton of muscle. You’re able to build it back pretty quickly, or at least faster than most people.

I always though the exact mechanism that allows your muscles to contract was SO FASCINATING! I mean like, thats insane you can move your muscles.

The Arby's guy is really branching out in his work

Kudos to the camera man who entered inside the body to bring us the footage of the muscle

The human body so simple yet so magnificent

Feeling sore the next day is a good sign🔥🔥🔥🔥

What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger

I cant believe ppl actually inject oil directly in their muscles

break it down to build it up baby 💪🏾

Make sure you have your rest days so your muscles can grow💯

Be careful though y’all, because they don’t talk about how working out a bit too hard can also raise your CK levels and can raise your liver and kidney functions to rise resulting in a potential death, long stay in the ICU, or dialysis. I just got out of the hospital because of this and actually almost died. Stay safe and make sure you’re well hydrated and pace yourself yall ❤

ITS CALLED MECHANICAL TENSION ..NOT DAMAGE...

Muscles do not grow from the damage. They grow through mechanical tension, there are "sensors" in your muscles that are able to tell when they are under stress. Damage to your muscles is bound to happen when you workout but correlation doesn't equal causation.

Props to the Invisible Man for volunteering in this video for all of us to see inner muscle fibers.

The thing people forget is that to build muscle you obtain a very minor amount of muscle damage if your muscles actually hurt a lot you're not building muscle you're just screwing yourself up.

if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger

Why doesn't it work for my sausage?😑

Beerus: “Before creation, comes destruction.”

I think it's well-established that muscle damage isn't a significant driver of hypertrophy. The mechanical tension and motor neuron activation prompts tissue growth as an adaptation. Tissue repair only consumes energy and protein, hindering further anabolism if anything.

soooooo...we BUST weights then weights BUST us huh bubba...?we dig it,doomed to damage,but we dig it.

It’s basically a “defense” mechanism

It's not about damaging your muscles specifically. It's about applying more resistance to them as time goes on or in simple terms progressive overload. To make your body grow you have to work at your maximum intensity until you get to the point where your muscles can no longer succeed in performing the exercise and you achieve failure. When that happens your body will trigger growth mechanisms in order to be prepared for that level of intensity in the next workout, so in the next time you workout with the same exercise, your body will be prepared for 225 for 6 on bench press but it won't be prepared for the 7th rep and when you go for that 7th rep you'll trigger the griwth mechanisms again cause your body understands: s**t I have to get ready for that level of difficulty again. Long term progression is the key

This is so much more helpful than 99% of content

Pain is weakness leaving your body.

AI generated videos taking over

Props for explaining the physics and biochemistry that goes on

The amount of respect for the person shown in the person just went up after he made his skin invisible for use to see his muscle growth.

This is literally me at the gym:

What if you constantly smack that muscle? 😂

Translation ; train harder than yesterday

I was doing bicep curl ups yesterday, and now my arms hurts like sh*t everytime I extend them. 😢

Mechanical tension, and you don’t need to overcome a weight. You need to produce force. That can be done with a static hold. Or even a negative.

So basically you’re destroying your muscles so that you can rebuild them bigger 💪👍

My bicep is paining since I started lifting 7.5KG dumbell 2 days ago.. This video just useful ❤

Translation: tom platz knows what he's doing

ATP depletion stimulating muscle growth is not clearly explained nor makes common sense, but muscle fiber damages cause muscle growth making sense which is similar to hypertrophied joints after recovery from injuries.

The mechanical damage is more relevant to (slowly) increasing the maximum length of sarcomeres (in other words lengthening you muscle, unfortunately data is missing on rather if this eventually results in slightly shorter tendons down the line or not). structural damage does upregulate protein synthesis, though this is almost entirely just repairing the damaged muscle, especially in the first few hours. (and of course structural damage does not usually happen without metabolic fatigue.) In regards to increasing cross sectional area specifically, metabolic fatigue is the primary factor and mechanical damage does not seem to provide any significant improvement in thia regard (again, it's more useful for growth by means of lengthening, which is much slower than increasing CSA). Also the metabolic fatigue does not necessarily have to all be in the same moment, spreading the fatigue accross the day/week is effective too- relatedly, data is missing to see if lactic acid buildup improves growth or not, but given that high levels of lactic acid are a bit toxic, it might actually be more reasonable to do the same amount of work accross more sets (but I don't think it's too detrimental to go to failure given that most people who do this make good results, and it can possibly save time).

Break yourself down to build yourself up.💪

“No pain no gain”

My body adapts the best when i fail a new max pr attempt. It's like it knows to start allocating resources to achieve what it could not previously. Fail to succeed

No, muscle damage doesn’t cause hypertrophy, only mechanical tension

Yep, never working out again

No wonder you need protein 😂😂

Looks like a text generated by ChatGPT

*Mechanical Tension has left the chat*

Healing power will be dangerous then

Myosin a microfilament helps

Gracias por la información

Micro tears in the muscle fibers not Mechanical damage 😅💪

Kinda irrelevant to the video, but I’m taking a shit rn

My wallpaper says two words "Self-destruct"

Weird question, and potentially dangerous, but bear with me: Could we cause muscle growth by working out with relatively smaller weight, but without warming up, which also causes muscle damage? The capability of working with a larger weight grows when warmed up. It's really a tangent thought. The suggestion then would be to do a set with medium weight cold. I wouldn't be able to do it myself, I feel my tissues are super cranky in the beginning, and need that oil-up from the warmup.

Mechanical tension * , muscle damage is a byproduct after exercise but is not the mechanism that stimulates hypertrophy

Sleep well. ATP is most regenerated while we sleep.

Me: *Watches Video* My Inner Voice: “YEAHHH BUDDY!!!”

Props to this man for taking off his skin and demonstrating scientific information 👍👍

So even when it hurts I gotta keep going great understood

سبحان الله ❤️🤍 ربي ما خلقت هذا عبثاً 😢😭

The clearest illustration of muscle building I've ever seen.

Lift heavy=big muscle

999k howlisiet

In order to build it up you break it down.

سبحان الله العظيم🖤

can you talk about the biological differences to myofibrillar hypertrophy and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy??

Iam his 1millionth like😅

NOT true! New studies shows, NO need mechanical damage or fatigue for hypertrophy, only mechanical tension!

So basically the muscle adapts to survival. If you can’t lift 30 pounds and you struggle to do so but continue to try the muscle breaks down and grows bigger so you can lift it. It’s amazing how the body works

Merci

Who created us?!?!?

So Gym bros are stupid they hurt themselves.

The human body is amazing.

All pain .. No gain 🤣🤣

سبحان الله الخالق العظيم

this is half true,,

Watching this whilst currently soaking in a bath of radox trying to regain use of my arms again 😅

What stretching when your sore the day after lifting? Doesn't this rip up those muscle fibers and they heal or grow?

without regression there is no progress

Bro how to create review,

Thanks

My ATP is in vacation 😂

i have fast metabolism💀

STEROIDS!!!!

If you provide an Arabic translation, it would seem that your contents are good, but I did not understand the language

this is completely wrong lol, these models have been discredited for years

Good

no studies confirm that damage directly causes hypertrophy, mechanical tension does

g

So better be lazy

B

muscle damage isn’t a mechanism of hypertrophy
