is it possible........ do i have no genetic limitations???

But the point is though- it is not really limted as long as you can use it and feed it...

As far as hyperplasia goes, I woudl say the same- your size will technically limited by the size of the individual muscle fibers (hypertrophy) and how many fibers there are (hyperplasia), but is there really a limit to the hyperplasia that can occur? Hyperplasia is thought to also occur in non AS subjects- though slowly... However, selective breeding has yielded lines of poultry with substantial myofiber hyperplasia, (though little is known about what genes have been altered during the course of selection) There is no reason humans could also have similar hightened potential...

either way- I think people do possibly have some limits though I think at some point it would be more logistical (blood/nutrient supply, having to do with the limits of the blood system to supply all that mass efficiently) rather than genetic on muscle- though I think it is not worthwile to think about it as none of us have even gotten close (though some are closer than others)

Hyperplasia is rare.

...from what I read.

I'm a robot, so I don't have any genetics.

Yes definitely- but there is potential for more...

.... but in a couple hundred thousand years, we could have some really jacked chickens walking around!

The way I read this is- pick your partners based on their hyperplasia genes... in several thousand generations your ancestors will be the hugest around! j/k

For real though- all this aside- I don't think any of us work anywhere near hard enough, or long enough to hit any limits which might actually exist if they do... (and there are some pretty hard working people out there)

Thus it is really all potential debate topics to me....(and any theories have to be taken with a grain of salt)

You only real limit is what you determine- how hard you work and for how long....

Hey, I think I might be good stock!


....this is why Clint and I can't have kids.




lol

This is funny to me particularly... at his peak my grandfather was 6'5, and his wife was 4'10... my dad was about 6'3, and my mom 5'.... I am about 6'1 1/2.... when I was younger I was PI$$ED I was not taller and blamed it on my dad and Gdad for marrying short women... I made a decision and never dated a girl shorter than 5'9 from HS on(my wife is about 5'9-5'10)... I was determined not to shortchange my kids when I have some someday.... Hopefully the trend will reverse in the next generation....

also all of them were or had been some kind of athlete, and had athletes in the family, and a two of them were awesome athletes- olympic level...

funny and wierd but true...

Here is a good question- if some scientist thought you had good genetics- IE "high limitation levels" and wanted to use your genetics to make a kid- would you let them? would you be interested in the proposition to ANY degree (even if you had to impose some caveats?)

That is funny. My mom and dad are both really muscular but never workout. I guess I should send them thank you cards. lol

That deserves its own thead. lol


I attempted to sell my eggs to a family who couldn't have kids once. It was down to 3 fo us. They requested that the person be at least 1/8 jewish, or something like that. I'm not at all, so it didn't work out. It did weird me out a tad though, and it was only cool because I knew the couple really wanted a kid. I'm not sure I could do it just to make superbabies...unless I could raise them too.

I think it should be a priority... where do they make "thanks for my genetics" parents day cards?
