Strength specific steroids?

[jeffefrijoles]

That may be the most ignorant thing ive ever heard. Strength is due to the amount of tension a muscle can create, something that is based on the efficiency of the nervous system. Cross sectional area of muscle ALSO is directly related to strength but size doesnt nessesarily equal strength. THere are specific ways to train so as to remain small but get insanely strong, i do bodyweight feats of strength and it would be much easier if i didint gain much weight. Not only can you increase the nervous system efficiency you can also increase the number of muscle cells in the same area, getting dense lean muscle mass. I know alot of guys bigger than me who arent as strong. I do strongman acts, tearing cards, phonebooks, bending nails. And the other people in the industry are rarely big guys, they are often normal looking men, with crazy strength. Do your research before you spout like that, i have read countless articles and books, and done a shitload of research on all aspects of strength training and aquisiton.

Anavar looked good to me aswell. I wouldnt use it myself as the things i do require tendon and ligaments to be strong, steroid use enhances the muscle so quickly that you can often injure yourself. Anyways what kind of side effects do you get from anavar use?

hahaha...... ya, I think this guy has pretty well explained his situation and what it is he does (strongman feats). Kudos Phate for actually giving him good answers and addresing his needs. I dont see anything wrong with his request for info. Heck, I was 160 lbs at 6' tall once, and was actually quite strong, stronger than most bigger guys at my gym. He is absolutely right in muscle fibres getting denser as opposed to just bigger. Hope you find what you're looking for bro. Good luck!

Thanks man. Current research into muscle growth is actually really shitty, ive heard that muscle cells are fixed at birth and only increase in size, but ive also read that they can split in a process called hypoplasia (spelling not 100%?) this was analyzed in birds and found an increase in muscle size by 325% if im correct, purely by the cell division, it hasnt been confirmed in humans, so theres still alot of controversey on the subject. so the problem for me of having all this fitness information is that i realize nobody really knows anything!

Sehr, I suggest you switch gears and look into GH. You will find thath while AAS will create growth in existing muscle cells, only GH can actual create new muscle cells, or hypoplasia! This may be something more up you alley as to what you are searching for. GH will lower body fat while at the same time, very slowly, creat new muscle fibres and imrove your overall body compostion. You could stay the same size, lower BF% and gain strength with new muscle fibres and greater density/quality. I speak from experience on this one.... take a look into it!

Thanks ill definately look into it. It never hurts to have more fitness info!
