I'm sorry but I can't agree with your first statement. How can you compare the effects of AAS, which has been present throughout bodybuilding and has pretty much made the sport what it is, and gene altering? I'm not trying be be an ass, but do you understand the concept of gene altering? AAS is a completely different animal and use of AAS changes your body on a much smaller scale than gene modification.
I agree with that its apples and oranges with respect to whats literally being done to your body; but in respect to unlocking potential it'll actually possibly bring a new level of even ground. As in now everyone is maxed; what can you do to set yourself apart?
Yea a far shot.
Many people have stated myostatin inhibition will kill bodybuilding, including some very well respected guys in the community.
I said the first time, that I agreed. It pretty much would; since now Joe blow can play Warcraft all day with 20inch biceps and absolutely no training.
I can see where you're going with the evolution, but how would everyone being gigantic muscular people help society? How is that adaptively positive?
How could it not be... Seriously? Just think about it... No more obesity, that right there is taking down the US and spilling over to other country's. Just think of how much more mobile elderly people will be.... Honestly I can't see how it could be bad.
Now in respect to self worth achieved through the Hi's and Low's of working out; thats out the window.
Well think about it this way: how much does a 175lb man need to eat to maintain that weight? More importantly, how many nutrients does he need to not be malnurished? Now compare that to a 300lb man. I have to think that the bigger man would need to eat more, even with the body being more productive. If the body doesn't store nutrients anymore, he'd have to eat very often, and would in turn eat more food.
Maybe, maybe not. Your not storing anymore, but then again your body is no longer caring about the abundance of food. I'm not going to get into speculation, but I believe we would consume the same we do now. PHIL says he only ate when hungry and look how he turned out. We don't have to engorge to grow or maintain.
I think we're talking about 2 different types of myostatin inhibition. Taking a pill that will block some myostatin is very different from completely inhibiting myostatin through gene removal/altering. I doubt we'll ever get to a point where we'll test on humans the way you make it sound, trust me I've been involved in human studies. They're very tightly regulated.
Yes those are completly different, as 1s permanent and the other is a temp solution. We test everything on everyone, it just doesnt pop up. Now its not like we're going to be hosting a walk in voluteer program. Its probably only be last resort life threating circumstances first (and rightfully so) but it'll kick start a chain reaction of where people will hear what happened and seek it out.
lol everything is tightly regulated
There is a difference still between peptides and gene altering. Neither MT2 or peptides do the same thing gene altering would be.
I whole heartily agree. I was just using those examples since the FDA hasn't approved of those and people are using them.
