If you’re doing “arm day” for your workout you might be wondering how the word “muscle” came about?
According to Merriam-Webster… when you bend your arm to flex your bicep that does it look like? According to the ancient Romans they thought it resembled a tiny rodent like shape. Which is why they named it “muscle” a word that comes from the Latin term musculus, which means “tiny mouse”.
Hilarious!
