Understanding Muscle Growth

Muscles grow and get stronger when there is a change in how the nerve communicates with the muscles and the way in which the muscle contracts, thereby causing the muscle to need to change. Adequate stress, tension or damage to the muscle leads to protein synthesis, specifically the myosin protein, which contributes to muscle growth.

The process of muscle growth and strength involves an adaptive response where protein, specifically myosin, is synthesized.

Summary
The process of muscle growth and strength involves an adaptive response where protein, specifically myosin, is synthesized. When a muscle is stressed, given sufficient tension or damaged, this response takes place making the muscle get thicker and the balloons appear bigger.
