Except this is literally what strength training is. The reason we undergo neurological and physiological adaptions that make us stronger is because lifting causes micro tearing in muscle. Micro tearing is the cause of the response. So less micro tearing means less muscle strengthening.

I realize you have gotten your information from articles and 'experts' but the fitness world is filled with people selling things and wanting to invent new ways to do things. Also a reason it's impossible to talk about this stuff because everyone ignores real science and physiology.
