The only disagreement that I might find with this article..

is that when you are creating muscle, it's a process of breaking down tissue, and re-healing.. each time, you lift weights, we break down fibers,, and thus they regenerate to form stronger muscles...

doesn't it make sense, that when ever there is a "break down" in the body, it uses more calories... while I agree,,, that muscle is muscle,, and your body can't distinguish between new and old muscle.. that still leaves out the "process" of muscle formation.. Which is just like when you get sick and things like that,,, your body needs "extra" to heal..

Maybe I'm wrong,, but this is the way that I had always understood it.. that it wasn't the muscle that burned the extra calories,, but the process of developing muscle and healing to rebuild muscle that burned the extra...
