What is Muscle Growth?

Muscle growth, also known as hypertrophy, is the increase in the size of muscle cells. It typically occurs as a result of physical training, such as weightlifting, and adequate nutrition, particularly protein intake. Muscle growth is influenced by factors such as genetics, hormone levels, and training intensity.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ MG = 150 \times \left( \frac{20}{100} \right) \times 0.5 = 15 \text{ pounds} \]

The Estimated Muscle Growth is 15 pounds.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ MG = 180 \times \left( \frac{25}{100} \right) \times 0.5 = 22.5 \text{ pounds} \]

The Estimated Muscle Growth is 22.5 pounds.
