  1. INTRODUCTION Muscle-building exercises, fundamental in fitness, bolster strength and size

    by challenging muscles with resistance. Compound movements such as squats and bench presses activate multiple muscle groups, fostering efficiency. Isolation exercises like bicep curls isolate specific muscles for targeted growth. Progressive overload, gradually intensifying workouts, spurs muscle development.
