+ 2 Myostatin inhibitors?
Back in 2007 I remember reading an article in a scientific journal that talked about “double muscle” cows and the research of myostatin inhibition as a cure for muscle wasting diseases. It ruminated about the possibility of people being able to go to the doctor, get a shot and have well developed muscles without working out, and for it’s potential abuse.
That article has stuck with me all these years and I still think of it from time to time. I’ve been digging around a bit and saw some info on YK-11, Follistatin, HMP, and ACE-031. Most of this information was years old and couldn’t find much information that talks about it recently.
Has research and progress about this essentially stalled out or been given up on? Does any of it actually work?

Wow, that 12 year old with the disorder is jacked. Apparently the Chinese are still researching gene editing it.
Found this list of current inhibitors in testing:

The follistatin we buy doesnt work
The one delivered by virus does and is under research
Jackintheboxyeah i was wondering if the follistatin available on the internet is just he peptide or is actually in virus form. so its just the chemical not delivered by the peptide?
The tagged versions are meant to cause immune response to work. Lol I laughed when I saw untagged.
I don't think that there is anything out there that truly works in the way we would want it to. At least nothing that I have seen or heard about that had any good effects.
However, genetic doping is the way of the future. It is said that some of the top bodybuilders genetically lack myostatin and that it is one of the reasons for the insane muscularity that they can achieve.
With some big pharma companies cutting their research on these inhibitors it might take a while before we actually get anywhere.
Good topic! It would sure be nice to find some substances that could enhance our gains along with GEAR! +
Its certainly an interesting topic, I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible now using CRISPR on the unborn, but western scientists are too bound by the ethical and legal aspects
Whoever comes out with a breakthrough myostatin inhibitor will make a fortune regardless
I had seen some articles talking about potential “gene doping” using crispr and viruses. Also talking about how gene doping is currently impossible to detect, and unless you had an earlier genetic sample to compare it to you would never know.
It’s also not reversible...there is no point to even the theoretical potential of this class of drugs until one is at their peak level and in need of just a bit more. Really should be unthinkable for anyone who doesn’t have mr. o potential
That’s the crazy part of it, gene doping could take someone with normal genetics and give them Mr O genes. That being said it’s mostly theoretical at this point, and there’s no telling what side effects could result from it. But it’s not hard to imagine a future like GATTACA where everyone has “designer” babies with hand picked genes and traits. Or even a future where you can change your own DNA through viruses. And not just for this, but curing genetic disorders and diseases.
Jackintheboxu could change ur chemical/hormonal genes. but u wont by bale to change ur physical genetics like height, muscle insertions etc.
I know the original biotech company that began research on myostatin inhibitors, Amgen, sold off all their patents and moved on. It looks like Pfizer did the same.

That does explain the lack of recent research! Thank you for that info.
Interesting question. Here's one for ya though lol - Would you rather get big and strong without having to do any training or still do the current method of needing to train, run compounds and eat?? I'd still go with the training method as 80% of the fun is lifting the weights and the way it makes you feel for the next 24hrs after
For sure, working out has been a hobby, if not a passion, of mine for years now. Nothing quite like pushing your body to its limits!
That being said, it is definitely intriguing to know that in the future you could remove the limits your body sets on muscle growth by inhibiting myostatin.
I'm sure that at some point in the future some kind of mutating gene or chemical will be engineered to bring about muscle growth without the need to break it down first to make it grow back stronger - Unfortunately I doubt we'll be here to see it though lol Imagine the online profits to be made from selling that baby when it does!
Besides muscles, internal organs would grow also...not to strat with hearth...
Research I’ve seen shows it only targets skeletal muscle and not smooth or cardiac muscle. That being said, it targets ALL skeletal muscle and some small weird muscles grow stronger too.
Honestly I’ve been wondering the same thing I’m not sure either curious to see what ppl have on this
I would stick on what we know already for decades...and not worry to die later in few years with a ton of muscles ;))
EVERYONE can achieve muscle size on well-known ways...symmetry is anyway genetical thing, but size can be achieved IMO
Totally agree
Lol true
