TRIGGER 2 : HOW DO WE BUILD UP MUSCLE ?
What is muscle ?
Muscle is a band or bundle of fibrous tissue in a human or animal body that has the ability to contract, producing movement in or maintaining the position of parts of the body.
What is the mechanisms needed in order to make our muscles grow ? We have to put extra stress on the muscles as it is the main component in helping the muscles to grow and it disrupts homeostasis within our body.
There are three mechanisms that makes muscle grow:
The first mechanism are muscle tension. We have to apply greater number of tension on the muscle than the usual tension. One of the way is to lift heavier weights constantly. The heavier the weight, the more tension the muscle will accept.

The first mechanism are muscle tension. We have to apply greater number of tension on the muscle than the usual tension. One of the way is to lift heavier weights constantly. The heavier the weight, the more tension the muscle will accept.
The second mechanism is muscle damage. This damage will causes a release of inflammatory molecules and immune system cells that activate satellite cells to jump into action. Sometimes we do not feel any pain because of these muscle damage in our daily life, but when we does some workout we will able to feel the pain causes by it.
The third mechanism are metabolic stress. Metabolic stress is the hypermetabolic, catabolic response to severe injury or stress. What are the causes of this to happen ?
Causes:
1) acute-phase protein synthesis
2) hormone release
3) hyperglycemia
4) reliance on gluconeogenesis
5) shifts in fluid balance and decreased urinary output
This metabolic stress will causes to be swell around the muscle. Swelling that occurs will aids in contributing the growth of muscle without increasing the size of the muscle cells. This is from the addition of muscle glycogen, which helps to swell the muscle along with connective tissue growth. This type of growth is known as sarcoplasmic hypertrophy and is one of the ways that people can get the appearance of larger muscles without increases in strength.
