the first thing to say is that muscle is a lot like bone in that you want to lay down as much as possible because eventually it's going to start receding

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
The aha moment is I need to build up as much of a reservoir as possible so there's a person who says look I've always been an athlete I've always done x y and z but I've never really thought about muscle mass I want to start thinking about it now maybe I've got a decade to pack as much on as possible before I'll go into that just maintain it as long as I can mode
so I think the first thing to say is that muscle is a lot like bone in that you want to lay down as much as possible because eventually it's going to start receding uh but it is still possible to add muscle
So, it's very similar to this concept of building up a muscle reserve, right, where...because that's also, right, when you're... Correct. ...in, I don't know, 30s even maybe, you start to lose the muscle mass. And so, yes, like you said, starting with that bigger reserve is always better because things are going to be taken away from it so you want to have, like, a bigger starting point.
