BUILD - RECOMP NOTEBOOK
Body recomposition is the hope of gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time. It can happen, but it needs honest expectations.

MUSCLE GROWTH
->
Muscle growth is the patient work: enough hard training, enough food, enough recovery, and enough time for the body to answer.
HYPERTROPHY
Hypertrophy is the training logic of growing muscle: sets, reps, effort, exercise choice, range, and fatigue managed well enough to continue.
PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD
Progressive overload is how the work gets harder without getting reckless: load, reps, sets, tempo, range, rest, and cleaner control.
BULKING
Bulking is a gaining phase, not a permission slip to stop paying attention. This page keeps the idea honest and the tradeoffs visible.
