Purchase Peptides will have this available in "research" form in about 2 weeks.
Any therapy involving the word "muscle" will be carefully studied in a controlled study of 15 million amateur bodybuilders immediately.

A guy asked me this question and I was a little stumped. Back in the day they did a biopsy on a bodybuider and found the muscle fibers were no bigger than a guy who did no exercise. Does this mean he gain more muscle fibers from training? That sounds impossible or is it? Could it be the study was flawed? I can't find the study that he was talking about on the internet. He said it could be 40 years or so ago. I would assume that weight training makes a muscle fiber thicker but maybe both are happening but I can't imagine new muscle fibers growing.

The majority of increases in muscle mass are from existing fibers getting bigger.

I believe the technical terms are "hypertrophy" versus "hyperplasia". The latter being a Holy Grail in bb.

doesnt GH cause that hyperplasia(muscles cells to actually split and make new ones) ?
