A muscular body is a clear representation of health, performance, and discipline. If you want to build muscle, you should know something about it.

1. Do Muscles have to Burn
to Grow?

2. All of the 639 muscles in the human body
can be trained.
This is basically correct for almost all muscles. However, it is not
possible to train every single muscle because there is an interaction of
many different muscles with certain movements. Ultimately, it is a
question of momentum. In principle, a distinction is made between
muscles that can be controlled at will and those that are primarily
involuntarily active. A good example is an eyelid or eyelid muscle. You
can train it arbitrarily by closing and opening your eyes a few times.
But when there is an external stimulus, the muscle reacts completely
involuntarily and the lid closes. The situation is similar to organs. The
heart or intestine consists of so-called smooth muscles. This works
involuntarily as long as you live. However, these muscles can also be
trained indirectly. For example, when you exercise, the heartbeat
increases and the heart muscle is actively stimulated beyond its
normal work routine. No matter where the stimulus comes from, usage
trains the muscles.
Muscles consume more energy than other
body structures.
That’s absolutely right. Muscles are directly connected to the
bloodstream compared to adipose tissue. This means that you
continuously consume energy because muscles have to be kept warm.
However, this energy consumption is not as high as some think. The
body needs about 100 kilo-calories a day to keep one kilogram of

3. musculature warm. This energy can easily be provided by consuming a
medium-sized orange.
Nevertheless, it is worthwhile in the long term to build up muscles,
because those who do sports also live healthier overall. To lose one
kilogram of body fat, a man weighing 80 kilograms would have to
burn or consume about 9000 kilo-calories by running 15 hours at a
time.
Muscles only grow when you use them.
It is correct. From birth to adulthood, the muscle mass of every healthy
person increases about thirty times. It has been proven that the quality
of the muscle varies with not only the general growth but also with its

4. use. With the so-called hypertrophy training, the muscle fibers become
thicker. With this type of training, muscles should be loaded with up to
85 percent of their maximum performance.
Earlier, it was believed that the number of muscle cells was fixed from
birth and was genetically controlled. In a more recent theory, however,
it seems possible to increase the number of muscle fibers. Such
enlargement of the tissues is called hyperplasia. This happens
especially with eccentric loads which means the muscle is shortened
and at the same time stretched against the resistance. This happens,
for example, when running downhill where instead of accelerating,
braking or controlling momentum and maintaining balance is done
primarily. During this eccentric training, muscle fibers are injured or
destroyed. When this happens, a lot of new muscle fibers are formed.
Muscles grow during training breaks.

5. It is absolutely correct. Training is only a means to break the muscle
fibers. The adaptation and regeneration of the muscles always happen
during the breaks. The breaking and regeneration of the muscles is
the basic requirement for improved muscle growth. For this reason,
you should plan 48 to 72 hours for regeneration after intensive
training.
Muscles can only grow with a high-
protein diet.
That is absolutely right because, as already explained, greater protein
storage occurs only in an exhausted muscle. If the body has no protein,
then none can be stored. The essential amino acids are particularly
important for muscles. These are not made by the body itself and
should, therefore, be consumed daily. The more you train, the more
essential amino acids you require and you have to increase the supply
by consuming more protein. It is important to take them relatively
quickly after training, ie within 30 minutes after training. It is even
better if the muscle is provided with some protein beforehand like in
the form of egg or dairy products
Everyone gets sore muscles after
overexerted training.
It is not necessarily right. Sore muscles are a normal physical reaction
and not a disease and therefore not dangerous. Sore muscles develop
in response to minimal damage to muscle tissue. What you feel 18 to
25 hours after training is an inflammatory reaction in the body. This
healing mechanism of the body starts working when muscles are
overused. Even professionals get sore muscles if they have not
prepared certain muscles sufficiently for the stress. You can have sore
muscles, but you don’t have to because you can prepare the muscles
for extreme workout through pre-workout.
