    We have over 600 muscles in our bodies that help bind us together, hold us up, and help us move. Your muscles also need your constant attention, because the way you treat them on a daily basis determines whether they will wither or grow. Jeffrey Siegel illustrates how a good mix of sleep, nutrition and exercise keep your muscles as big and strong as possible.
    Lesson by Jeffrey Siegel, animation by Brett Underhill.

    I really liked this video about how our muscles grow and what makes them. A few years ago I used to exercise a lot, and see no much change in my muscles mass and strength. However, I started searching up the internet for the reason, and I found reasons, which were also mentioned in this video, that I also have to eat food containing protein, which will allow my muscles to become stronger and bigger. Also, I didn't sleep enough to rest my muscles, which also resulted in not making them grow. In my opinion, if anyone wants to start gaining muscles and become stronger, they have to sleep well, eat well, and finally, workout constantly. To be more specific, not to skip any training day so the muscles will learn the pattern and continue growing and becoming stronger.

      But there is a twist. Like any Sophism they will hand you all 100% accurate data and information but at the end just as they are concluding with a final message they start omitting a few elements and them conclude something FALSE that is the opposite or at least a very incomplete version of what they were saying.
      Typical Propaganda Technique, I am surprised TED fell for it.
      2:45 They clearly state (correctly) that muscles rely not only in activity to grow, they need, hormones, proper nutrition and rest.
      3:55 The Sophistic CONCLUSION: "It is with muscles as it is with life, meaningful growth requires challenges and stress".
      But for some reason they forgot to mention PROPER NUTRITION and ENOUGH REST here at the end!!!!
      So our Capitalistic Parasites who exploit the workforce will indeed love this video to show their employees that all the stress they are being subjected to is in fact important for their own growth.
      Omitting that underpaid employees that can't rest enough nor afford proper nutrition won't grow.

    In the fall of my freshman year of high school, I dislocated my right kneecap. I learned that I am hypermobile and that my ligaments are loose and that my muscles hold me together. So loose in fact, that I cannot get a full body readjustment at the chiropractor. It took over a year of physical therapy, but now in the spring of my sophomore year of high school, I can run, jump, and do everything I could do before the accident. I'm taking a strength and conditioning class and I feel my body is stronger than ever before. I also have to stretch often and can't stay still for too long because my limbs will seize up, and my joints will make a sharp crack sound (which can be painful at times). The stretching is a great warm up, and it helps me relax.

    This is based on out-dated information. The most recent studies show that muscle fiber tears do not result in increase in muscle size, but rather mechanic tension is the main driver of muscle growth. Muscle tears can be a side effect from mechanical tension but you can create muscle tears without inducing mechanical tension.

    When I started working out, my two main mistakes were lack of sleep and not eating enough (not being in a caloric surplus). I always thought I was eating enough and was disappointed because my weight stagnated. Then I got my first diet plan created (I think it was from nextleveldiet iirc). I realised that my previous food intake was way below my needs, although I thought I'm good. At the beginning it was hard to eat 3500 kcal in a day, but I got used to it. I started noticing real gains and it felt amazing. I wish I'd understood the importance of diet earlier.

      I had the same problem when i was in my early twenties. I would always workout plenty during the week but i would just stay lean and not bulk up. Finally i just did an experiment and started eating like crazy. Two breakfasts. Lunch. Afternoon snack. Dinner. Wake up at 2 am and eat greek yogurt with granola and then pass back out.
      Needless to say in one year i gained about 35 to 40 pounds. I went from 140 to 180. And being only 5’ 7” with small bones, I achieved a pretty great all natural physique. And now the gym is all about maintaining that muscle and for mental health.

    I thought the muscle damage causing growth was a myth. From what I’ve understood, there’s two different types of muscle growth, hypertrophy and hyperplasia. Hypertrophy is when your muscle cells grow, hyperplasia is when you generate new muscle cells to repair and replace damaged ones. You want hypertrophy, to grow your individual muscle cells, so having too much muscle damage can actually hinder your gains. This is even observed in several studies showing massive drop offs and even declines in muscle growth after a certain amount of volume, particularly with higher weight, lower rep work.

      +triton62674 Well that depends on what diet. Powerlifters (performance athletes, setting goals on lifting X wight for Y reps for Z exercise) on a "cut", eating to try to keep muscle mass and burn fat on workouts, Will experience a decrease in preformance, meaning hitting weight goals will get much harder, and failure is highly possible. on a cut you usually eat alot of protein, less fat and carbs and overall less calories. That means that they give their muscles what they need to recover, but cut the carbs, so that the body will burn the fat for energy instead of carbs, which are much easier to use than fat and therefore on a higher priority to the body.
      All athletes will feel much less energetic on workout while on a diet. bodybuilders will look smaller after a cut but their muscle will be much more defined. But the cut doesnt affect them as much because their workouts arent usually based on performance.

      "While there is meaningful overlap between muscle size and strength, it is possible to gain strength without increasing muscle size. Strength can be achieved by upgrading your central nervous system to recruit and coordinate more existing muscle fibers. Changes in the fascia, tendons, and bones also affect the contracting muscles ability to transmit force. Bodybuilding techniques are primarily concerned with building new muscle fibers. If you're looking for ways to train for size opposed to strength, read "Size Vs. Strength: Are You Lifting Too Heavy?""

    Wow this was incredibly accurate, I clicked assuming it'd be filled with garbage. Neurological adaptation, progressive overload, adaptation response, etc it covered the basics well

    Very good. I'd like they talked also about the benefits of having good muscles' health on the overall person's health.

    if muscle gets stronger when it rips, what if you took a microscopic knife and cut your muscle or use nano bots to cut your muscle, would it give you bigger muscle without exercise?

      Your muscles won't learn to take on a load. Your muscles will never learn to fire properly (electricity is what fires the muscle fibers so they can take on bigger loads).

      @Mc Peyn not really, kind of right but people in comas have their muscles exercised for them they dont know its happening but the physiology of the body works the same because its pretty much automated. and actual mental stress is not good for muscle growth because of hormone release and lack of rest that comes with mental stress. what first name said would work as long as you couple the "nanobots" with some inflammatory drugs to increase blood flow to the muscle.
