Across
  1. 1. Condition that may result from excessive training
  2. 4. Number of times an exercise is performed
  3. 6. Influence muscle protein synthesis during training
  4. 7. Ability of muscles to adapt very quickly to varying conditions
  5. 9. hormone Hormone that helps stimulate protein production
  6. 14. Condition caused by too much strength training too soon
  7. 17. protein synthesis Increase in production of proteins within muscle cells
  8. 18. acid Metabolite that accumulates during exercise
  9. 21. Inherited genetic makeup that establishes an upper limit for muscle mass
