hyperplasia through training?

[chainsaw]

Is this possible? I feel naturally I can't go past a certain point and I read that the only way to do this is through IGF-1. There isn't any training modifications the can produce hyperplasia?

Training can only lead to hypertrophy, not hyperplasia.

 

[Ziricote]

As insulin binds to IGF-1R you could argue it's possible to induce hyperplasia naturally.

 

[ItsHectic]

Training can only lead to hypertrophy, not hyperplasia.

Are you sure? I have read it leads to both, with lower reps favouring hyperplasia.

You could try hanging weights off your arms for 20 some hours per day. I think that's what they did to birds and it produced hyperplasia.

 

[Vipersg123]

it's part of the idea behind DC extreme stretching.

 

[dontknowaboutme]

As far as I have read, this is still an unknown. There are studies on both sides of the fence.

Well, I beleive hyperplasia can occure through training.
High reps. Hyperplasia occurs naturally in the first place, what makes it stop?
There is a study I found on the muscle cross sections of swimmers' delts, compared. Obviously, while fiber size is not increased, the amount was. coincidence?
let me see if I ca ndig up my old ass thread...

mind you, this "seems" like back in the day... so be nice It does talk about maxamizing hyperplasia when using IGF, as well as training methoeds, and some natural references...

I remember a study from back in college. A couple younger guys that had died in car accidents had both left their bodies to science for study. Just regular guys I believe, not big lifters. The researchers disected both anterior tibs on the guys. In both, their dominant legs had around 20% more fibers than the non-dominant legs.

But then you've got the chicken-and-the-egg thing. Were they born with more fibers in one leg, thus causing that leg to become dominant -or- did they develope more finbers in that leg because it was dominant. More than likely it's the later one, but no way to prove it in humans at the moment.
