[X-Men] If Wolverine works out does he instantly bulk up/get stronger?

So I've been wondering what would happen to wolverine if he was working out in a gym type environment . As you exercise a muscle (like in  a barbell chest press) you cause micro tears in the muscle fibres which then heal causing the muscle to get bigger and stronger. This is why most people feel sore for a few days after training hard. But with wolverine he heals instantly, so I was thinking would this mean if he just kept doing an exercise over and over for a day or so  he would just continue getting bigger and stronger the whole time. He could make the kind of progress in a few hours it takes athletes decades to achieve? Is this ever commented on in the comics?

Doesn't work that way. Wolverine heals *perfectly*.  When he's injured, his muscles restore themselves to an exact duplicate of their pre-injury state.  No scars, no changes, no gains.  He's significantly stronger than the average human, because he can push his muscles past the normal human limit and heal from the damage, but that's as far as it goes.

Deadpool, the Hulk, and other regenerators have the same issue.  Exercise doesn't help them. Interestingly, She-Hulk was able to give herself a massive strength boost by working out in her *human* form - her gamma transformation multiplied her normal strength by some particular amount - but, IIRC, she decided it wasn't worth the effort.
