Sucky, you fail to consider that a muscle is not only myosin, actin and water. BTW, water in the solid state is less dense than liquid water. That is fact. Look at the thread.
Water molecules spread out when frozen. Look at any physics book. I don't want to argue man. I am correct.
It is irrelevant whether water or ice is heavier in the same space. Why? Because it doesen't disprove my analogy! My contention is that water varies in
physical density in different states, and I am correct regardless of which state is heavier. Furthermore, you still have not demontrated that it's possible for muscles to weight more in a smaller area, because:
- Most of the water lost due to Sodium restriction is extra-muscular. The body has a very smalle threshold toleration for losing intra-muscular water. Look at Dillet, who once froze onstage due to using to musch lasix. Since this never happened to either Dorian or Ronnie, I'm assuming that their amount of intra-muscular water didn't vary much.
- Actin and myosin are substances with absolute weights.
- Water has an absolute weight.
- There is little variation between Type I and Type II muscle fibers as far as glycogen capacity storage, because the major difference is that the type II synthesize Adenosine Triphosphate quicker.
- Regardless, all bodybuilders have stored glycogen inside their muscles anyway, due to the carbing up. And since there is a limit ot the amount of glycogen that each muscle fiber can store and sinc ethe number of muscle fibers in a given area is stable, then there's no difference in glycogen levels.
- Glycogen is stored with three molecules of water for every one of glycogen, which immediately disproves your claims that Dorian's muscles weighted more because they had less water inside. This is impossible.
Thus, if we assume that Dorian is the leanest bodybuilder ever' he would by definition be the most dense. Man, I am supporting your assertion that his density is unparalled. Why the argument.
No, you're not, and this is what you don't understand!
When I said that Dorian was the densest bodybuilder ever, I was refering especifically to it being a purely visual property. It is
you who has been claiming that Dorian's muscles were
physically denser than Ronnie's, thus allowing Ronnie to have bigger quads and equivalent lats to Dorian at the similar bodyweight. I, conversely, have maintained that, since Ronnie's quads were clearly bigger and they weighted the same while Dorian looked drier, then that this would mean that the equivalent weight was explained by Dorian's lats being both thicker and wider - his bigger calves couldn't possibly explain the difference. Furthermore, I supplied further evidence for my assertions by stating that Dorian's taper was as good as Ronnie's from the back, this despite the fact that Dorian's waist is obviously thicker. Let it go...no one cares.
