My take on the muscletech mess...
« on: March 09, 2008, 05:09:14 PM »
Before this Product even comes out I want to clear the air before we get a bah-zillion threads asking about it. MuscleTech have sunk to a new low, first with their NANO-X9 crap. And now this:



This shit retails for $80 (I guessed $70 and my store owner guessed $90).

Here are their claims:

WORLD'S 1ST DORMANT MUSCLE FIBER ACTIVATOR

* 83% More Muscle Fiber Activation*
* Triggers Untapped Human Growth Potential*
* Pharmacologically Engineered To Trigger Dormant Muscle Fiber Activation in 7 Days*
* Scientifically Researched In Over 30 Independent Studies


The Aplodan Advantage


Unlock Muscle Size and Strength
With Aplodan™, you now have in your hands the key to unlocking strength you never knew you had, and as a result, the ability to trigger more muscle growth than you ever thought possible. But to do it, you must understand the full power of Aplodan and how it tackles the single greatest problem holding you back from getting as big and as strong as possible - untapped dormant muscle fibers.*

Trigger Dormant Muscle Activation
In every bundle of muscle fibers within your body, you have several clusters of muscle fibers that are dormant, and don't materially function or contribute to improving muscle size. During a typical workout, you never actually stress you muscles enough to trigger growth in these dormant muscle fibers. But now, after utilizing years of research including clinical research at the University of Milan, Team MuscleTech™ has engineered Aplodan - the world's first and only dormant muscle fiber activator that allows you to increase muscle fiber activation by an average of 83%! It's the key to unlocking the potential for new muscle that's been locked away in your body for years!*


The Scientific Research Behind Aplodan
Over 30 independent studies have examined the multiple performance and ****bolic effects of the revolutionary Aplodan complex.* In just one of these studies, Aplodan was shown to increase stimulation for greater muscle fiber activation in as little as 7 days! To accurately measure the power of the Aplodan formula researchers used an isometric grip test (the widely accepted device used to measure raw power and strength). By the conclusion of the study subjects were able to achieve muscle tension thresholds that were 83% greater than baseline (1.74 vs. 3.18 mins.) proving Aplodan's potent effectiveness! In a separate battery of tests, sprinters taking Aplodan increased their speed/power by increments that would normally take years to develop! The bottom line is that Aplodan is the only supplement of its kind that gives you the ability to be strong enough in the gym to activate dormant muscle fibers!*


Rapid Delivery of Aplodan
Designed with a special rapid release technology, the Aplodan complex starts working quickly, as it drives itself inside your muscle fibers, affecting the internal ****bolic machinery for improved muscle fiber activation. Aplodan's unique molecular structure is designed to manipulate the ****bolic environment deep within muscle fibers, promoting activation, and subsequently allowing you to train with the type of intensity necessary to allow you to trigger the growth potential that lies within dormant muscle fibers.*

Aplodan Takes the Bodybuilding World by Storm!
As a supplement with an extremely impressive history, research backing, and human clinical trials to prove its potent effects, millions of bodybuilders everywhere are now educating themselves on dormant muscle fibers and how Aplodan is the first and best way to activate them. Right on the heels of the most popular group of supplements like naNOx9™, GAKIC®, LEUKIC™, and Anator-p70™, Aplodan is poised to be the biggest supplement to ever hit bodybuilding! Awaken the untapped muscular growth potential you have inside you right now and build massive size and strength the Aplodan way

Now in reading all of this hooplah my store owner asked "is there even really such a thing as high-intensity dormant muscle fibers?" So I consulted Rjkd12 (whose absence is due to actual lab work and finishing up some schooling) and this is what we came up with:

There are the type IIB muscle fibers that ARE dormant and can only be activated through strenuous activity and converted to type IIA. With a simple a statement as that do you see what MuscleTech is doing? They make a product that increases (let's give them the benefit of the doubt) the intensity at which you can train, boom, activate dormant muscle fibers.

So in reality, if high intensity exertion is B, and activating dormant muscle fibers is C, then B = C. Aplodan would be A when adding it in. So A = B = C.

MuscleTech is trying to get you to believe that A = C.

Simply put here's how Rj put it and how I will be saying it to customers who want to buy this shit:

"Put your finger to your forehead and press as hard as you possibly can. Right now as you're doing that you're activating high-intensity dormant muscle fibers. Give me $5 for giving you that information."

if we did a better job of teaching scientific reasoning and logic in our schools, you'd be able to just read the label and know that without having to part with your money.

For those selling it at least...what a joke.

Soon MuscleTech will advertise their stuff in a fashion pretty similar to this: "And they shall come a time of great muscular growth.....".

The independant studies were run by:

-The janitor at MuscleTech's headquarters.

-The guy on the third floor who's job we haven't figured yet but who's on our payroll.

And so on and so on.....

Even if this product has some effects on exercise performance one can get the same effects by simply ingesting a few grams of creatine monohydrate.

I'd take lies over too much regulation though. I don't buy into the bullshit so I don't care.
