No, muscles do not create new cells over time; they merely generate microscopic 'tears' in the muscle after strenuous activity then fill in the 'gaps' which makes the muscles longer instead of having more cells.

Weight training is the science of using weights (or another form of external resistance) in order to train your body to perform a certain task with better ease, efficiency, or technique.

How do I build muscles through training?
Generally speaking there are specific exercises that work different muscle groups. You should work different groups on different days in order to give muscles the required rest in order to grow. Muscle growth occurs through tiny tears in the muscle caused by lifting weight. When the muscle heals it regenerates and grows larger. This is why it's important to mix rest in with working out. Also don't overdo it. Start with lifting weights that you are comfortable with and build up from there. Too much too quick is not a good thing.
