Bit old but this is top drawer

So it a genetic defect,,,,, it has a 24 pack, Well at least that stops all the speculation about the owner giving it roids

All evolution is nothing more than a genetic defect or flaw. However, some flaws are beneficial, like us having thumbs, and that dog having double the muscle mass. It may not be perfected and the hound may suffer bone and ligament problems, but if it is near perfected, his chances of survival increase significantly, well it would if he lived in the wild, but in civilization his survival is governed by us, not by nature.

Hes all natural.

Myostatin mutation. I dont think it has anything to do with the mix. Its a genetic defect that occurs in some humans also. Decreased or no production of myostatin results in rapid muscle growth.

From what i understand the lack of myostatin cause the body to be unable to restrain the production of muscle.

The average life of people or animals with it is usually much shorter than a normal person without the mutation.

I remember seeing a documentary on Belgian Blue cows once that is a breed with the mutation that are continually breeded with each other in order to keep this mutation. A very muscular cow means more meat and more money. (they are huge)

I think down the road compounds will be produced in order to decrease myostatin and therefore will be used to create signifcant muscle mass. IMO it will far outweigh AAS if they find a way to restore natural levels after use

Noles is correct. However to date no one knows hw the health of an animal, human or not, is affected with either one or both pairs of the myostatin gene retarded. There is a child in germany, about 4yrs old with both retarded, but he is till young. Doctors predict his bones and ligaments will not be able to keep pace with the growth of his muscles.

Myostatin a a really important gene, it may be beneficial to decrease the genes expression, but not to remove it completely as it may cause uncontrollable muscle growth.

Only time will tell.

Do you feel that one day they will try to manipulate it with a compound in order to build muscle but at a controllable rate?

It's happening as we speak. People seem to forget that the reason testosterone was pretty much made (and yes this is debatable) was to create a super soldier. And to date many governments around the world experiment with biomolecular and genetic engineering to create such compounds that may or may not create 'super' humans. I study biomolecular and genetic engineering at university (only still a pup, but still) and i am amazed at the stuff i read in patents and research articles that the lecturer's present to us.

scary stuff but true, we dont know the half of what they can do
