its called exercise

@8 steriods + exericse is way more effective than just exercise

@levifinkelstein oh, that kind of jacked

@8 you don't have to be "that" kind of jacked, but even if you just want some decent muscle growth you can achieve it faster with for example steroids

@levifinkelstein beans and rice on the side please

Biohacking community never thinks about thermodynamics and allometry.

@StetsonThacker I think you're mostly wrong about that, it's just that it's a relatively hard problem. Given the amount of R&D money thrown at it yearly by major corporations/institutions, I think the biohacking community has correctly determined that any low hanging fruit was plucked decades ago and would only touch the subject if someone had a novel/underexplored approach.

@AndrewHartman Isn't this proving my point? Nothing comes without tradeoffs. Increasing anabolism pharmaceutically or even with traditional approaches (lots of food and lifting) comes with costs (time, effort, healthspan).

@StetsonThacker I don't think fundamental physical limits act as hard constraints on this. The reason we do not have much muscle without lots of work is just optimization for past low-calorie-availability environments.

@osmarks check out Geoff West's work on body scaling and thermodynamic constraints on lifespan.
