00:00To gain muscle through weightlifting, you must have both metabolic fatigue and mechanical damage.
00:05When you lift heavy, the contractile proteins in your muscles must generate enough force to
00:10overcome the weight's resistance. This in turn can cause structural damage to the muscle.
00:16Mechanical damage to muscle proteins activates the body's repair response.
00:20Muscle size increases as a result of the damaged protein fibers.
00:24The ATP, an energy component that supports the contraction of your muscles,
00:28is used up by the muscle fibers, which results in metabolic fatigue.
00:33They are unable to continue fueling muscle contractions or can no longer lift the weight
00:38effectively. This can also result in muscle growth. Gaining muscle hypertrophy requires
00:43both metabolic fatigue and mechanical damage.
