Muscle Hypertrophy Explained (What Makes Muscle Grow)

To gain muscle through weight lifting, you must have both metabolic fatigue and mechanical damage. When you lift heavy, the contractile proteins in your muscles must generate enough force to overcome the weight's resistance. This in turn can cause structural damage to the muscle. Mechanical damage to muscle proteins activates the body's repair response, muscle size increases as a result of the damaged protein fibers. The ATP, an energy component that supports the contraction of your muscles, is used up by the muscle fibers, which results in metabolic fatigue. They are unable to continue fueling muscle contractions or can no longer lift the weight effectively, this can also result in muscle growth. Gaining muscle hypertrophy requires both metabolic fatigue and mechanical damage. #Shorts #muscle #workout #hypertrophy

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

[christophergreen]

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

[Migzk]

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

[connor]

Eat many food, lift many weight, be big.

[wahidzeyaj]

The human body so simple yet so magnificent

[c.galindo]

Cool. I really enjoyed this breakdown of muscle hypertrophy being metabolic fatigue and mechanical damage

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.

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

[jefry]

I cant believe ppl actually inject oil directly in their muscles

[sieve]

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.

[michalcerny]

ITS CALLED MECHANICAL TENSION ..NOT DAMAGE...

[infernodotdash]

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 YouTube shorts I'm interested

[Abhi-whik]

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

[Utopian]

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.

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

[likewiseGaming]

The only example I have heard of damage actually being a good thing. Bring on the damage!

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.
