Plus: Paradoxical 19% Drop in T W/ Whey + CHO Shake in Boys
Studies show that "women demonstrate significantly larger satellite cell and satellite cell nucleus areas than men" (Roth. 2000) - an effect that could be mediated by the effects of estrogen, not testosterone on satellite cells.
As a SuppVersity reader you will know that satellite cells are the "muscle reserve" that's "cooking" between the basal lamina and sarcolemma of your muscles.

"What's the most anabolic form of training?" To answer that
question we would actually have to initially define how we are planning

Although I assume that you all have read the last installment of the Intermittent Thoughts, I took FatFree's comment that he (or she?) was missing the "too comlicated check box" from the old design to the heart (I do so with every comment, btw, so keep them coming) and kick off today's Adel Moussahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11282066708304898697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447249123519658347.post-83321351311271947352011-12-04T15:39:00.001+01:002011-12-04T18:05:55.131+01:00Intermittent Thoughts on Building Muscle: The Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy 101 - Part 1: What is Hypertrophy?
