Would you expect to see the same increase if there was proper pre workout nutrition? Were the subjects in the study fasted while working out?

On the fasted question....they did NOT train fasted. Says they were fed a "standardized" breakfast (mmmm, standardized), waited two hours, got the tracer infusion and other good stuff set up, waited another hour, then engaged in the workout. So they worked out ~3 hours after a meal.

As stated clearly in the writeup, they were all fed a standardized meal 3 hours before.

Interesting... Hmmmm

And there it is: finally, a scientific basis for why I dramatically outperformed most people I know in growing my pecs and biceps. It's so much easier to grow one part at a time. Next month I'm entering my transverse abdominis phase.

What'd you do for pecs, Peter? I only ever benched. My bench is not great. I have big pecs. I could probably wear a bra, but I don't need the support. I want to need the support, y'know? So I should adjust my chest training. I could make other adjustments. I want to start wearing bras, though, yet they aren't popular right now, they could help my nipple appearance (or the lack thereof). Not that I am nipless, I experience hard nips, stress nips, soft nips, and stealth nips. I believe a mostly unstructured dome-like male bra cup structure could mitigate the seasons of nips; merge all nipular seasons into year-round excellence and give men a lot of confidence in their breasts. Maybe a moistening man bra, right? Cause we all know that wet nips are the best. Pointy. On a big pec, this could be very aesthetic. Every nipple is only as good as the point it's trying to make.

If you try to make a joke, don't write a large block of text repeating the same 'joke' over and over again. Yawn.

I beg to differ, that was hilarious.
