comment To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles
I think inflammation, soreness and DOMS are related to muscle tearing/damages/breakdown, and also that these factors are most important on the pain-side of strength training for me and many others. My question is about the gain-side :-)

IMHO, for many of us, the main downside of strength training, inflammation, DOMS etc, are connected to tearing, damages, breakdown in the muscles. It is therefore important to what extent gain is related to tearing, damages and breakdown. I can't see how I can ask this in a much better way. Practical applications is of course important, but are much more complex.

Actually exercise has some effect on Tryptophan absorption. (A bit the same effect as carbs).

Pain (inflammation, DOMS), is AFAIK mostly connected to tissue damages, so if gain/pain is important, it should also be best to see gain in that way (If it is a correct way to see it)

No - but one reason for many sets (other than muscular breakdown) could be neuromuscular improvement.

There are also neuromuscular changes for example

Reg 4) Say if you do pushups with good progress, then you stop at n reps, and your level (in max reps) stabilizes. A breakdown-view will say that it stabilizes because the breakdown and thus rebuilding get lower. Another view I often see is that the body will not rebuild it self stronger because it is used to it. This can be just a different way to look at it, or something more.
