technicalities. and generalities. it's a common misconception is the 'bulking up' is caused by lifting heavy weights.
actual muscle growth (ie hypertrophy) happens during rest. muscle is technically broken down when we use them. hence the formula:

Progress = Training + Rest

remove training or rest and you don't get progress or at least not once you've plateau'd
the subject is vast and difficult to disseminate into a short typed response. hence saying see a PT who has the knowledge to advise fully.
