My cat gave us 3 kittens and one was a genetic freak. I remember coming home and my mom said Blacky gave birth and there is something a bit off with one of them. It was a ginger cat and looked a bit muscular compared to the others and I said this to my mother. She then said pick him up and when I did I was blown away . The other kittens were typical weight but this one kitten felt like a lump of lead. My mind still cant understand it but the difference was amazing when you picked up one and then the other. He grew up to be a mini tiger and probably twice the size of normal cats and just pure muscle. he also had the biggest gonads sticking out his bum and people would always comment and ask "what are those....are those his balls?" . Great cat and what a personality on top of the freak of nature thing.

Just keep in mind, heart is also a muscle, which you don't want to grow thicker. You only want growth in skeletal muscle

Lean mass is not just muscle so that needs to be teased out. It includes water , connective tissue , organs, even intra myocellular lipid and bone

i look forward to an entire population looking shredded & with bulging muscles but a non existent central nervous system to support it.

Strength is not just muscle, a huge part of it is nervous system. You can have a lot of muscle and not be strong, we see that all the time. That's why you have to workout.

I have Muscular Dystrophy and been following myostatin inhibitors for a while. They've been tried before in one experiment that I know of with no luck. As much as I would obviously love to see M.D. crossed off the list for real (instead of just in a graphic of a youtube video), I think a lot more direct research will be needed.

When I was interning, I had one of these kids in our hospital in the peds unit. It was bizarre. At less than one year of age, he was completely muscle bound. This was in '73, so no one had a clue about dx or tx. After I rotated off that service, I lost touch with the docs taking care of him but I suspect his life did not go well.

Had a classmate that had an overly muscular heart; he died playing basketball at 18 years old. Bodybuilders get oversized organs and die. Not sure unchecked muscular growth is a good thing.<br><br>EDIT: I appreciate the info in the replies to my comment, and learning from them. Thanks.

We have been talking about myostatin blockers for years.
