endothil?

Anyone heard of endothil? I saw an article in popular mechanics about this and wondered if anyone else has heard about it? www.endothil.com

I was wondering the same thing when I read it in Men's Health

Wow, It looks like everyone likes this stuff. The spring semester is starting back up monday I may pick some up when I get back to the school's gym. Hopefully I can get my bench over 300 with this stuff. Got a long ways to go....

I was looking at that too. where can you get it, because gnc didnt have last time i checked. I want to try it out also.

So is this a similar suppliment like Creatine that just allows your muscles to repair themselves faster or what? Seems too good to be true or legal. Any health risks?

Did some quick research on a site I knew about.

Knew it was too good to be true. The chemcial is used to treat muscle trauma patients. You litterally have to "injure" your muscles to make this work to its full potential.

Prolonged usage has not been researched so there are no known side effects. I'll pass.

That's how weight lifting works, it creates small tears in the muscle fibers, which are then repaired to be stronger than before. That doesn't mean that it works though, evidence is inconclusive from what I am reading.

I completely understand how it works. The thing is, this isn't talking about the light injury you sustain when you lift. This is talking about acutal trauma to the muscles itself where you would literally have to go to a doctor. Have fun doing that.

Well if you read their website is says..."Based upon the observations from laboratory experiments, in order for
Endothil™-CR to exert a maximal effect it must be incorporated into an exercise
routine. The exercise routine will have the most impact if it incorporates routines
that produce muscle exhaustion. For example, doing pushups until you can’t lift
your body off the floor and then trying to do one more pushup, or doing situps
until your abdominal muscles hurt and then doing five more situps. As mentioned
at the outset, this kind of training should not be either over done or under done. It
is not our goal to produce extensive damage with the idea that the greater the
damage the greater the subsequent muscle growth. Yet, the exercise should
result in enough ischemia (as defined as a decrease in the amount of oxygencontaining
blood to the muscle cells) and muscle strain (trauma) to produce the
required signals for repair. Hence, for practical purposes, the end point of this
kind of training is exertion to the point of exhaustion."
I don't think they are telling you to work out until you have to go to the doctor
