I'm not sure I'm understanding your point. Of course exercise changes muscle gains, but the surprising result was that the men who did not exercise had more muscle gains than those on the placebo who did exercise.
As for the dosage, yes, this study had really high dosage and reports no negative side effects for the 10 week period it was used.
- danielbarla 12y agoPersonally, I'm not very surprised by this (testosterone causing larger increases than exercise). There are plenty of examples in nature of relatively "lazy" animals with large amounts of muscle (e.g. gorillas, lions, etc). Of course, we're comparing animals with large genetic differences to each other, but my point is that exercise does not seem to be the primary cause of muscle, in general. It just happens to be the main parameter we're in control of.
