Metabolic stress is also a mechanism of cancer. It is all in how you word it.

HA! Truth be told I was ALWAYS a hard gainer growing up. I would eat and eat just to gain a few pounds from 170

You have gained 120lbs since you started lifting at 5ft 11, your a bullshit merchant, we are still waiting for the pic of your shoulders which dwarf mine, I put my pic up weeks ago, your living in a fantasy world, I would say your 200lbs tops and that's being nice.

[D_T]

I've gained 160 lbs since I started lifting (37 years ago) . I make no claim to having an impressive physique at my age though. ;-)

Merchant? Wow, dude you really are weak minded. Just because I took my mind to a place only a certain few can take, don't knock me. I eat 8 meals a day and train like an animal. In any case I will get this issue taken care of w my computer and post pics. You want one with undies or G-string pal?

As LEE HANEY used to say: "Simulate; don't annihilate!" ...... the breaking down of muscle fibers is the stimulus for growth; however, if you overdo it and break down too many fibers (which results in excessive inflammation), you won't be able to recover from the training effort and you'll actually risk losing muscle. Lactic acid buildup merely signifies that you've burned through a lot of ATP in the muscle cells and have accumulated a lot of waste products.

My legs have been in insane lactic acid / DOMS for 2 days they better be growing lol

How old were you when you started?

If the average person gained that much it would be pretty impressive. If you were underweight then I understand.

If you are taking measurement from when you were younger than 16 then I don't count that.

I would believe this when I see it.
