you dont gain forever in terms of size but "gains" can be defined in a multitude of ways... whats your idea of gains?

Of course. Seen any 1000lb bodybuilders lately?

those that want to just gain forever end up dead very very young. see rich piana and dallas mccarver as examples

it is called bigorexia and it is a very very real mental illness

the same way anorexic people throw up after eating cause they want to keep losing weight. eventually you will only kill yourself

There are limits to the human body, even when enhanced with PEDs.

So impossible.

Yes. Once myostatin rises to a certain level all gains stop completely. Usually around the 8 to 10 week mark of a cycle. Only way to gain again is to come off for 3 or 4 months or more and let myostatin baseline again

That depends on your diet and training, time off, recovery, etc.

The simple answer is no. Let's allow for some breakthrough that stops the myostatin inhibitor to stop us growing to be switched off. Ok.

So what next.

You'd have constantly growing muscles (given the usual conditions) on top of the same bone structure (even with adaption they grow much slower), the same connective tissue (ditto), the same heart, lungs and so on.

Let's pick one muscle - the biceps - we'd make them 30" right? About ten minutes before they tore right off the bone. Apply the same to everything else.

It's why slow and steady growth to a natural limit - even with help - works.
Nature... that bitch, combined with evolution (also a bitch) knows all this.
