Stress stimulus during muscle building
The stress stimulus is the stimulus our muscles need to do work. The different forms of the stress stimulus then determine the long-term response of the muscles to this stress stimulus. If the stress stimulus is not strong enough, there is a loss of muscle tone.
If the training stimulus is greater than the normal load on the muscles, muscle growth occurs. There is no patent remedy for the ideal muscle build-up. This depends on individual factors, such as the training condition, the muscle type, as well as the trainee’s willingness to train.
In addition, there are different training methods that differ in the use of weight, the number of repetitions and the number of training days on which a muscle group is exercised. However, progression should be the stated goal of all training methods. This can be achieved either by increasing the number of repetitions, the weight or the number of training days.
