What makes muscles grow?
Engage / stimulate the muscle enough to force adaptation, feed that muscle with the appropriate quantity and quality nutrients to help with repair and growth, rest that muscle (and mind) to create a positive and an anabolic environment that is conducive to muscle growth. Compromise on one of these three mentioned strategies, and you would compromise your potential for muscle growth. That is it...the foundation to muscle growth.

Hormones don't figure in the equation?
Of course they do Adrian, hence I mentioned rest, as that's how you create an anabolic environment and minimise on the catabolic one. HGH (as you know) visits you once you're asleep and well rested. Cortisol leaves you once your mind is at peace, etc....

Was focusing or shining the light mainly on the foundation really, without getting deeper into the branches or the micro level of what one needs to do (or not) and so on.
