== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Hypertrophy''' β The "Increase" in the "Size" of "Muscle Cells" (as opposed to 'Hyperplasia,' the increase in 'number' of cells). * '''Myofibril''' β The "Contractile Unit" of the muscle: more myofibrils mean "More Strength." * '''Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy''' β The "Increase" in the "Fluid" (Sarcoplasm) and "Glycogen" in the muscle, "Increasing" "Size" but not necessarily 'Power.' * '''Satellite Cells''' β "Stem Cells" (see Article 148) that "Reside" on the outside of muscle fibers and "Donate" their "Nuclei" to "Repair" and "Grow" the muscle. * '''Muscle Protein Synthesis''' (MPS) β The "Biological Process" where the body "Creates" "New Proteins" to "Build" muscle. * '''Anabolism''' β The "State" of "Building Up" tissue (Opposite of 'Catabolism,' breaking down). * '''Type I Fibers''' (Slow Twitch) β "Endurance" fibers: "High Resistance" to fatigue but "Low Power." * '''Type II Fibers''' (Fast Twitch) β "Power" fibers: "High Power" but "Fatigue Quickly" (Primary target for hypertrophy). * '''Tendon''' β The "Connective Tissue" that "Attaches" muscle to "Bone," "Transmitting" the "Force." * '''Progressive Overload''' β The "Golden Rule": the "Requirement" to "Constantly Increase" the "Challenge" (Weight/Reps/Volume) to "Maintain" "Adaptation." </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
