I've been informed by a friend of mine, (who comes up with some really far out statements, which normally turn out to be fact.) well this friend tells me that a person can build muscle through meditation.
Stop laughing, I'm, She is very serious about it. She has read about a group of monks that do it.
Wish I could.
Anyone else heard anything about meditation and muscle growth???
haven't heard about monks using meditation for muscles , but have heard about monks using meditation to raise the core body temperature

mind muscle through meditation, that's what i suspect , did some googling but came back with nothing
only thing i could find was the raising of the core body temperature which is known as Tummo Tummo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When I was a young bloke, I remember reading in 1 or 2 muscle mags, that you can get bigger muscles by concentrating and doing the excersises with no weights.
I think this was a "filler" to sell the mags and possibly only suitable for people about to compete, where you need the blood to rush into the muscles, without causing fatigue.
Unfortunately, a very small sample group was used for each trial. Where are the actual results? Wo exactly performed the tests.... sorry, too many variables. Who are the Weider researches? Are the qualified etc?
Not trying to be negative, but everything you read is not always true.
No shit. You won't win friends pointing out how smart you are because you know how studies work (some of us have degrees too), and how dumb M&F is. They usually put in their references from their studies, but not in this top 50 section.
Perhaps I should buy the highly reputable Men's Health in future.
Sorry you feel that way Stellar, but this is a forum and opinions are sought.
Just remember, everything you read in magazines, internet, see on TV etc is not always true. You must take with a grain of salt. People have opinions and just because they are employed to write by M&F, doesn't make them right.
I like M&F and all the other mags etc, and the results maybe true, but take it easy.
Just because it's a scientific paper, doesn't make it 'true' either. Researchers have hypotheses and ALWAYS look to support their own hypotheses, even if that means presenting data that shows their hypothesis is correct. This is even more so when funded by big companies or universities.
There are others of us who are well-educated. Please watch your tone (when addressing me anyway) in future. You wouldn't get away with it in real life addressing someone like that.
