Title: Hypertrophy v hyperplasia
Post by: joswift on January 19, 2025, 06:49:38 AM
OK guys, thoughts please

I have been arguing on FB with several people over hypertrophy v hyperplasia
This photo started it
(https://scontent-man2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/473075102_636979645563291_201927294779959207_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=127cfc&_nc_ohc=gQLa674_T6kQ7kNvgHKosQe&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-man2-1.xx&_nc_gid=AS-t_pSkPH_nZSMU0VdhSpn&oh=00_AYAOKxRVGWWljXFUTggPxxiEatYt80Tt-ZdjW4m5mixKyw&oe=6792D0A2)

my point is that he has no "ADDITIONAL" muscle TISSUE form the firts pic to the second.
He had made the muscles larger and hes gotten fatter

Everyone seems to believe that hes adding NEW MUSCLE to his frame whe in fact all hes doing is expanding the muscles he has

Hypertrophy is building muscle size
Hyperplasia does not happen in humans, there is very little scientific evidence at all.

Here is an interesting article on muscle fibres
https://www.acefitness.org/resources/pros/expert-articles/5411/10-things-to-know-about-muscle-fibers/#:~:text=As%20fibers%20are%20damaged%20from,for%20building%20new%20muscle%20proteins.
Quote
Muscle fibers experience two specific types of hypertrophy. Myofibrillar hypertrophy refers to the increase in size or thickness of individual actin and myosin protein filaments, which can improve the force-production capacity of individual fibers. Myofibrillar hypertrophy does not lead to larger muscles; rather, it results in thicker muscle fibers capable of generating more force. Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy is an increase in the volume of the semifluid interfibrillar substance surrounding an individual muscle fiber. This fluid contains the proteins used to promote tissue repair and growth. The muscle “pump” that bodybuilders work to achieve is actually sarcoplasmic hypertrophy—the cross-section of muscle fibers will increase, but most of the enhanced muscle size is due to an increased volume of the sarcoplasm and non-contractile proteins not directly involved with force production.

A simple example of why we dont increase the NUMBER of muscle fibres is that we eventually stop growing no matter how hard we train or how many drugs we take

Also the fact that after we stop training we shrink back down to how we looked prior to training shows we dont increase fibres, yet after three months back training we blow back up to what we were due to the cfact the fibres were previously streched so they just fill up again.

Also we wouldnt have stubborn bodyparts that simply wont improve if we could inrease muscle cells/fibres


oh, and a calorie is just a calorie.   ;D

and this is exactly why eating huge amounts of protein is a waste of time, you cant create NEW fibres, just repair the ones you have,

Muscle cells just like fat cells do not increase in number.....you have the same number today as the day you were born

They do however expand and shrink depending on whether you are training and eating accordingly (HYPERTROPHY), and shrink if you are not (ATROPHY).

The same with fat cells,they simply shrink and expand......the actual number of cells doesn`t increase in number.

To my knowledge we can incease fat cells but we never lose them, they just cluster and lose.

Once you have been fat you always have the propensity to be fat again.

I read them and I understand them. Not all studies are ethical or practical to perform on humans. We cant just dissect you post workout and count your muscle fibers now can we? We are not that physiologically different from other animals that is why we use them for studies.

Quote
Although exercise-induced muscle fiber hyperplasia has been demonstrated through direct fiber counts following nitric-acid digestion of muscle, morphological studies to determine the mechanism of hyperplasia have not been performed previously. In this study, light and electron microscopy were used to evaluate evidence of muscle fiber splitting or de novo formation of new muscle fibers. Since both fiber hypertrophy and hyperplasia may result in alterations in the muscle nuclear populations, myonuclear number and satellite cell frequency were assessed quantitatively to determine their role in regulating muscle fiber size. Ten adult cats performed weight-lifting exercise, and the right (exercised) and left (control) forelimbs were fixed by vascular perfusion. Spaced serial sections were used to evaluate muscle fiber morphology along the length of fibers, and muscle fiber areas were measured. Myonuclei and satellite cells were counted using electron microscopy. Morphological evidence supporting muscle fiber hyperplasia was observed in exercised muscles. These observations included the presence of small fibers which may signify de novo fiber formation. Myonuclear counts indicate that myonuclear density is not a primary regulator of fiber size. Satellite cell frequency was unchanged following exercise. Autoradiographic studies revealed satellite cell activation by uptake of tritiated thymidine in exercised muscles. Satellite cell activation appears to result from increased activity in exercised muscles. These findings confirm previous studies demonstrating muscle fiber hyperplasia following weight-lifting exercise, and suggest that de novo fiber formation is the major mechanism contributing to muscle fiber hyperplasia in this model.

Thanks for the links Brian!

I'm glad you're here to discuss this with us. All I can find online is the abstract. Since you've cited these studies, I assume you've read the full body of the paper to make an informed decision about its merits. I'm especially interested in the bolded section. Which weight lifting exercises did the ten cats perform? Were they doing free weights? Do you think Rocky could be trained to do weight lifting?

Thanks in advance Brian!

Have you heard of Cool Sculpting? Fat cells die when they are frozen. Once dead the body sluffs them off over a short period of time. Cool Sculpting will not make fat people skinny. It is meant for targeting specific areas, such as men's 'love handles,' and other areas of subcutaneous fat.

Of course, following any kind of weight loss program, a poor diet and overeating can result in someone becoming fat again, but these are new fat cells.

Unfortunately, to date, only indirect observations like ours support this hypothesis in humans. In animal models (rat or chicken) some evidence does suggest that hyperplasia can occur in overloaded conditions or after stretching.

https://skeletalmusclejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13395-023-00322-2

If you don't...just know this is a conclusion:

By studying the regenerating tissue 30 days later with a range of microscopy techniques, we find that so-called myofibre branching or splitting is more likely to be fusion of myotubes and is therefore explained by incomplete regeneration after a necrosis-inducing event.

Muscle grows through the activation of satellite cells, which are muscle stem cells that reside within the muscle fibers; when stimulated by exercise or injury, these cells proliferate, differentiate into myoblasts, and then fuse with existing muscle fibers, adding new nuclei and contributing to muscle growth (hypertrophy) by increasing the fiber size and overall muscle mass.

So these "satellite cells" essentially become part of the existing muscle cell. So I think it's a bit of semantics in that I guess it depends on whether you think a stem cell that begins to grow and proliferate in direct response to training or gear is new muscle cells. Then there the idea of a muscle cell vs a muscle fiber, which is essentially a "type" of muscle cell and then myofibrils and stuff that gets beyond my knowledge.

I don't have my copy from 30 years ago but if anyone finds Duchaines Underground Steroid Handbook 2 I remember he gives a very detailed version of how muscle grows, If anyone has a copy he gets into the whole scientific process but everyone just skipped to the red pages.

 I linked an article showing that elite powerlifters had more muscle fibers than controls but it could be all genetic, I just scanned the article. Thanks for an interesting discussion on the topic

Who is Apoptosis.....does he post here?   ;D
being from melbourne, which has the second highest greek population of any city with the sole exception of the capital of greece - athens, I know this one.

He is actually getting it mixed up with ἀπό-πίσω which could be phonetically represented in English by 'apo-piso' , which is his most frequent search term on the net, and alludes to his favourite erm exercise.

He would no doubt also be familiar with Ποιος είναι ο μπαμπάς σου - 'pios einai o papa sou' which would be 'words of encouragement' yelled at him during the erm work set by his training partner - no wait I mean his personal trainer, because it woiuld be someone who is being paid to train him.  (which rather ironically unravels another semhanktic lie 'he never paid men to fuck him in the arse' because he was actually paying for a personal trainer, yeah that'll throw them off the scent )

following right along it might point out more semhanktics. Not rec drugs, the heavy painkillers/ketamine were actually biologically identical and medicinal for injuries to his sphincter that his official report had him claiming was the result of a freak almost act of god accident on the mortar training course..Likely as not it was Goodrum (who is a good bloke imo more power to him) with a no lube no warning 20 yard run-up foreplay style. Fire in the hole indeed

I’m sure you did, bro. It was in between your fights during school. 100 fights a day.

And yet the complete absence of any serious scarring on the knuckles.But yeah, thats factually actually impossible unless he didn't land a single punch. Hell even if he hits like a girl (which we hgave seen to be true - even juiced to the gills) his hands would be scars upon scars. It's almost like he's a liar.

being banned from taking the principles daughter to the prom,

that might hgave been due to the 12 year age difference - the haters kept him back a year or two till he could hold a pencil

and undertaking studies for NASA.

well they did send chimps up in space first - you know - perfect the technology with expendablelife forms who are otherwise worthless to society. he'd qualift on another level too - astronauts - even chimpds had to be under 5'11 for the mercury space craft and under 180 lbs (easy - just take him off the PEDs for a couple of months.)

Hooper has small joints - he's destroying himself.

I had no idea that rats, cats, and birds lifted weights........thanks for that Brian.....I learn something new here on the daily.  ;D

Quite true. One super cat had to lift a resistance to get food and she developed larger muscles. It was a shame that cat had to die for science. Birds had to hop around with a weight on one wing which was increased over time. Both cat and quail grew larger muscles, perhaps hyperplasia.

The problem with hypertrophy in champion bodybuilders is that they have never been tested to find out what their muscles are composed of. I doubt any would consent to having some fibers taken from precious muscles. The exercise scientists completely ignore champion bodybuilders so we will have to remain somewhat ignorant because there is no science relating to their superior muscle size.

Vince what's your analysis of this feat of muscle building hypertrophy ?

Good way to tear biceps and damage your spine. I tore my right biceps doing a dead lift with 510 pounds. Cold night and warmed up with 400. Silly me. I don't recommend this movement for bodybuilders. Of course Matt Canning will continue to do them.

Damage your spine....geezus.  So axial loading of the spine with 100's of pounds is so much better?

I mean if Vince B doesn't recommend these....thats all that needs to be said.
