Destruct to Construct

Think of your body as if it were a pile of bricks without mortar. But there's a giant tub of it and you have to make that pile of bricks stronger and immovable by taking them all apart, and putting the mortar onto the bricks layer by layer. It's a timely procedure, and you must take the bricks apart to bring them back together and make them stronger.

Your body is just the same way. For instance, for a stronger hold in the more important places of the brick, you're required to use more mortar, your lower body for instance, you need more weight or more numbers in reps to make it proportionate to your upper body.

   Breaking down your muscles shouldn't be brought to the point of pain when exercising. It shouldn't hurt when you exercise. If it hurts afterwards, such as being sore from a nice and heavy leg day, that's fine. But destruction shouldn't mean literal destruction. The reason I say destruct to construct, it that muscular tissue will break down when your exercise, and rebuilds itself stronger than it last was. But taking this in a literal sense is a dangerous procedure. Now, I don't have anything against cross fit because I don't do it, but that is a perfect example of the wrong destruction for construction.

   Break it down to build it up. It sounds almost like a dance phrase, it's a reality in exercise. To make a stronger structure, you have to take apart the old structure to bring up a new and more powerful structure.
