And when you do that, and you look at the number of muscle fibers in cross section, you're gonna change the number just by mathematics, changes in angle, pinnation angle.

He mapped it all out.

He did some SOHCAHTOA, you know, and sure enough, it seemed to check out, at least according to a lot of independent reports, some saying, okay, when you do synergistic sublation, this is a percent change in pinnation angle.

Then when you look at Kevin's work, this is the number of fibers that he observed with synergistic sublation.

And so if you sort of do all of this mathematical stuff together, it would explain almost all of the increase in mile fiber number.

However, however, however, here's the deal, man.

Time and time again, if you take a biopsy from somebody that's well-trained, 10 years, lifting weights, then you take somebody off the street that doesn't lift weights.

Okay, the person that lifts weights has, we'll call it 30%, larger muscle, VL muscle.

And the fiber size differences between those two individuals does not explain why that muscle is larger.

Therefore, there seems to be more muscle fibers in the trained person time and time again.

In addition to that, the paper from, I think it's from Norway.

Again, I apologize, lost the citation in my head.

But you see some interesting things with large muscle fibers.

You see fissures.

You see centrally located nuclei.

Hey, look, man, this spaghetti noodle, Sharpie marker, all those little dots, those are myonucleotides on the periphery.

This group, I think it was in like the mid-2000s, had histological evidence showing that as myofiber size increased and these power lifters who were on steroids limitation increased,

Those large fibers started having the invagination of the cell membrane, looking like the myofiber was splitting into two daughter cells.

And to me, it looked convincing enough.

Then you look at Joey's work with the LV modem quell, and he shows, he's plucked out myofibers that are branching, that seem to be splitting.
