The myth that your heart is a muscle, and grows on cycle.

I've heard that if you do cardio while on cycle that your heart can grow because it's a muscle.

good thing i dont do cardio and ive got sloppy flab everywhere.

if you do extremly heavy cardio i think this is true...but its true if you do heavy cardio and youre not on a cycle too

I doubt that because heart muscle fibers are single celled, single nucleus beasts unlike any of the skeletal muscle fibers, which grow by attracting more myoblast cells to them.

i dont know about the extra cells having anything to do with it but i think you mean satellite cells and not myoblast

I have heard the myth like everyone else, but seems like the worse heart related issue that is def true is high cholesterol. It will make the heart work harder and plug it up, not fun.

Does using GH increase the heart size abnormally?
