Down
- 1. – The increase in muscle size as a result of consistent resistance training
- 2. – The ability of a muscle to perform repeated contractions without fatigue
- 3. – A type of exercise where muscles change length while contracting (lifting and lowering weights)
- 4. – Exercises that use your own body as resistance, such as push-ups or squats
- 5. – Gradually increasing weight, reps, or intensity to build muscle over time
- 6. – Exercises that improve strength by working against a force like weights or bands
- 10. – A muscle contraction where the muscle length does not change, like holding a plank

- 12. – A workout moving quickly between different exercises targeting various muscle groups
- 19. – The shrinking or loss of muscle mass due to inactivity or lack of use
