Hyperplasia

[sysopt]

What causes it? (increase in # of muscle cells)

 

[Cackerot69]

The only time it has been shown to occur is under extreme stretching, like a weighted stretch for 30 days in duration with no rest. It has never been shown that it can occur through normal training.

Who could possibly do a weighted stretch for 30 days with no rest? When would you sleep?

hardgainer (?)

 

[Belial]

That's pretty much the point.

 

[Cackerot69]

LOL, exactly hardgainer.

 

[sysopt]

Would streching after a heavy set do anything?

 

[Cackerot69]

Sure, if you held it for a month.

It can occur but its so rare that irs not really worth mentioning.
As for how it occurs, fuck knows, ive lost all interest in science.

 

[sysopt]

hmmmm... maybe I'll go to sleep in a streched position.....

How about those tortured people that they hang for a month on the ceiling by a rope with their arms behind their back, good canditates for hyperplasia until the vultures pick the newgrown flesh of your bones
