When you workout with weights ur muscles are working hard and they are burning millions of blood cells. since your muscle is working really hard and getting used to it, ur muscle will get bigger!

TADAH!

Physical exercise keeps muscles healthy by stimulating them and increasing blood flow to the fibers. To maintain muscle size, they just need to be stimulated regularly.

To increase muscle mass, something else has to happen. The muscle fibers need to be stimulated to the point where they start to crack and tear. The gaps then fill in with muscle fiber making them bigger. The pain you feel is inflammation of newly torn fibers. Inflammation is usually harmless but if it is in the joints in can be destructive. It's not the inflammation that causes the muscles to grow so anti-inflammatory drugs can reduce the pain and damage to the joints.

Can you put on weight through using weights?

Technically speaking lifting weights can make you "put on weight", but not in the sense that it makes you fatter, it can just make you heavier, but that is simply because muscles weigh more than fat, so lifting weights can make you gain muscles, but at the same time you are losing fat, but on the scale you might weigh more than before even though you are losing body fat and are therefore leaner. So, it can make you put on weight, but in reality it actually means you are leaner than before even though you weigh more.
