If you are considering starting out with weight lifting and muscle training, get some proper instruction from an actual strength trainer, rather than a random CS prof.
While "hacking your body" sounds appealing to CS people (work smarter not harder!), the reality is there is no shortcut. You'll have to lift a lot of iron regularly, for a lot of time, while eating correctly, for anything serious to happen.
Following advice like in this post, will most likely end you up with a lighter wallet and a garage full of unused Flexotronic Bulkmaster 2000 machines and expired supplements. In worst case with a serious injury, you'll carry around for a long time.
Today everybody's an expert on everything, but do consider taking CS advice from a CS prof, and strength advice from a strength trainer.
