How Muscles are Built?

One of the evolution theories that I studied in the school was Lamarck's, which stated that "function creates organs". In other expression of Lamarck's: Functional organs grow and get stronger, and the disused organs become weaker and smaller.

Despite the fact that the theory is no longer used in evolution, it explains a lot how muscles are built; used muscles grow bigger and stronger, and unused muscles diminish and become weak.

So, in order to grow your muscles you need to use them, and to use them you need to know what movements uses which muscle.

In the following few posts I'll try to show what muscle groups you have in your bodies and what movements you can use in order to grow them bigger.

I'll also give some exercises for each group of muscles explained by illustrated diagrams and/or videos. You can go ahead and try them but don't over do them.

As will come in future posts, there is a optimal level of exercise density, above which is over exhaustion and below which is under training.

Stay tuned my friend.
