So we think that everything with conventional hypertrophy, as it relates to fiber expansion, everything in that cell is going to expand proportionally.

I would agree with that.

Yeah, yeah.

There's nuance, but yeah, generally speaking, that's fair.

I think a good guesstimation is anyone off the street on average.

would have between, we'll call it 400 to 600,000 cells in the VL alone.

So when we say myofiber, that is synonymous with a muscle cell.

Think about an uncooked spaghetti noodle that you would pull out of a box, right?

That is what your muscle cells look like.

So the diameter is relatively small when you look at the length of the fiber, right?

So they are very, very long cells.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sure, sure, yeah.

Uncommonly large.

Yeah, uncommonly large.

Right, right, right.

Because of that, very unique to the muscle cell, although there are other cell types that have multiple nuclei, but they are multinucleated, which is to say that
