muscular tension

Etymology: L, musculus + tendere, to stretch

the force that results from muscular contractions. Internal tension is produced when cross-bridges form between the actin and myosin filaments within each muscle fiber. The force generated by these contractile elements is transmitted to the bones via tendons and connective tissue. The bones move and produce external tension.

Q. what sort of diet should I take to tone up my muscle and to lose fat in my body? Is steroid a good idea?
