Yeah.
I am of the persuasion, and keep in mind, a group of us across the world, Karen Esser and I, she's at the University of Florida.
She was more or less...
the godmother of the field of skeletal muscle hypertrophy.
She trained Troy Hornberger, Gustavo Nader, John McCarthy, et cetera.
Yeah, Kentucky Lab, yeah, CMB, exactly.
So we got together in 2022, and we were looking to collaborate, and I said, we need to write sort of this...
update on mechanisms that we think contribute to skeletal muscle hypertrophy with mechanical overload.
So 2023, publish a paper with people across five different continents, all of whom specialize in certain mechanisms that we talk about in that paper.
And it's pretty evident that mechanical overload or mechanical tension is the prevailing mechanism.
We didn't even speak to the metabolic aspects in terms of lactate accumulation.
Is it involved?
I've had conversations with Brad.
There are a couple of studies, some rodent studies in vitro work.
So Petri dish muscle cell stuff where they put
Lactate, they either inject it into rodents or put lactate in a petri dish with muscle cells showing, oh yeah, you know, we see this uptick in muscle protein synthesis, which is needed for hypertrophy.
But there was a human study done in, it was in Europe, I apologize for forgetting the location, where they infused people
Participants with lactate peri-exercise versus a buffered saline as a placebo, showing that when they did the lactate infusions, they didn't see this enhanced effect.
post-exercise muscle protein synthetic response.
And it turns out
