Nail Growth sign of increased protein synthesis?

[MTPMJM]

So Ive noticed that since the end of my pct and the addition of ArA to my supplement regime ive been growing my finger nails at a much quicker rate than i used to. Would this be a sign of increased protein synth?

Could be. Definitely a sign of increased nutrient intake. Have you changed your diet recently?

have you been working with your hands lately? Like washing your car? Cleaning? Washing dishes? My nails grow 2-3x faster when doing manual labor. I noticed this when I was a kid. I think it comes from higher blood flow to the fingers from the stimulation (pressing, swiping,etc.).

I dont track macros or follow a specific diet (especially in the winter). I am for a certain number on protein and eat my fill of other macros. I also make sure to get at least 2-3 servings of veggies and 2-3 servings fruit per day.

One thing i did start recently was eating more Chipotle. Every. Single. Day.
