Increased muscle mass (hypertrophy) occurs through resistance training, hormonal response, and dietary protein intake, especially when combined with creatine, which enhances protein synthesis and cell volumization.
Increased muscle mass, also known as muscle hypertrophy, involves the growth in size of skeletal muscle cells. This is achieved by stimulating muscle fiber damage through resistance training, which triggers repair processes, hormonal responses, and increased protein synthesis. Supplementation with creatine monohydrate enhances protein synthesis and cell volumization. Adequate dietary protein intake provides the necessary amino acids for muscle repair and growth.
