Vince, you still have not addressed the issue that I have brought up here, as I have elsewhere, and as others have as well.
You contend that DOMS is a necessary condition for muscle hypertrophy. I presented a study, a peer reviewed study published in The Journal of Physiology , that claims the exact opposite. That being in a state of DOMS prevents muscle hypertrophy and the subjects lost both strength and muscle size. Only after DOMS did strength and size increase. Objective evidence is presented to support their claims.
You, not surprisingly, dismissed the study though unable to refute it which suggest a personal bias over the search for truth.
Now, how about you? What evidence do you have to support your theory? Scientific evidence which you insist on from others. Some years back you did take on the challenge of demonstrating effectiveness of your theory using on yourself. I backed you 100% even though I was routinely mocked for supporting you. We all remember that that experiment ended in abject failure.
Please present your evidence that exceeds the study I presented as you consider it insufficient and lacking.
