What’s up ya’ll? This is Jackie O., the First Lady of Fitness, Fashion, and Fun. So, several of my readers have been wondering what happens when you lift weights. . . here is a brief answer:
When you lift weights tiny tears occur in your muscles fiber. In response to these tears, your body begins the process of repairing them just like your body repairs cuts to your skin by creating a scab. The repair process includes the formation of proteins on the tear sites, which leads to increased muscle size. One of the reasons drinking a protein shake after a session of lifting is so important is because protein aids in the muscle repair and formation process. Give yourself a few months of lifting weights regularly and you too will begin to become a tighter and toner version of yourself.
