This article does not at all imply that you will gain more muscle with metformin, but could it be that it maybe helps with retaining muscle during contest prep? If not that, it may be helpful if you have an injury and cannot train a particular muscle?
Hard to say, but worth a read

Whatever benefits it may provide towards muscle preservation in a prep setting, I’m sure all the test and tren etc is already covering lol

Plenty of folks here use metformin for BG control when taking GH. This could be looked at as another small benefit that metformin provides.

I would love to know more about their nutritional intake. It states it was strictly controlled, and that is cool, but if they increased calories and protein to higher amounts compared to pre-clinical study, then was it really the Metformin, or was it the increased protein and calories?

Maybe they'll publish their findings.
