There is no doubt that exercise damages muscles. However, there is little evidence that this damage causes subsequent muscle hypertrophy. Based on the evidence I have reviewed in this article, it seems that damage plays a minimal role in muscle hypertrophyhttps://www.strongerbyscience.com/muscle-damage/
Very interesting read. This goes completely against what is commonly believed and thrown around in the gym and by most trainers.
