Cool, thanks for the link :)
I'm going to paste and link what garraeth wrote on that link just in case anyone is interested in any of the science behind this stuff. I took the liberty of bolding some of the more interesting stuff; hope you don't mind garraeth:

This one names the compound they injected: "Twice-weekly injections of ACVR2B prompted the mice’s muscles to grow by 60 per cent."
ACVR2B info:

And if you can figure it out, here's where you can actually BUY the stuff ("Homo sapiens activin A receptor, type IIB (ACVR2B)"): http://www.origene.com/cdna/trueclone/accession/NM_001106/TC119435.aspx
Looks like you have to have an account with them to see pricing and/or make a purchase...doubt I can get an account
Nother one about ACVR2B (Dec 9 2005): http://www.brightsurf.com/news/headlines/view.article.php?ArticleID=22096
"“This new inhibitor of myostatin, known as ACVR2B, is very potent and gives very dramatic effects in the mice,” says Se-Jin Lee, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of molecular biology and genetics in Johns Hopkins’ Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences. “Its effects were larger and faster than we’ve seen with any other agent, and they were even larger than we expected.”"
and
"After five injections over four weeks, mighty mice injected with the new agent had muscles 24 percent larger than their counterparts that didn’t get the new agent."
pretty kewl ;D

it doesnt matter if they keep their small waists because people outside are to dumb to realise that a small waist looks better than a wide waist
jeffrey.:
have heard from a couple of pro's big ron has already been using these myostatin inhibitors.
Johnny Apollo:
Anabolic drugs have many other benefits than simply increasing muscle size. They increase energy,Healing time,Motivation,Since they increase Testosterone levels many other benefits come from that than simple muscle gains. Anabolic Effects range and vary.
