Muscle exaggeration

In discussing muscle exaggeration, Dr. Andy Galpin addresses the common misconception that adding muscle is extremely difficult and that intensive training (like working out six days a week) is necessary. He explains that this belief is an exaggeration of the actual requirements for muscle gain. Additionally, he touches on the topic of anabolic steroid use in Hollywood for rapid muscle gain, which is a frequent assumption when stars achieve significant physical transformations in short periods 1.

Furthermore, Dave Barry talks about the concept of noticing and exaggerating the ridiculous in everyday situations, using it as a tool in humor. He mentions that observing and stressing the absurd aspects of regular things is like exercising a "muscle". This practice is essential in comedy and humor writing 2.
