maximum muscle

[Vieope]

It is common sense that you can not add muscle forever, your body has a limit.

But if you look at fat people, they go way, way heavier than most muscle guys.

I dont know but if you compare the most fat man on earth and the most muscle man on earth? I think the fat man wins on weight, right? Why?

Is it because muscle consumes energy and fat just stays there or our body is made to hold more fat than muscle? Did I just answer my own question or there is more to it?

we have a muscle regulator called myostatin.

Myostatin (formerly known as growth differentiation factor 8) is a secreted TGF beta protein family member that inhibits muscle differentiation and growth, i.e. higher concentrations of myostatin in the body cause the individual to have less developed muscles. Myostatin is produced primarily in skeletal muscle cells, circulates in the blood and acts on muscle tissue, by binding a cell-bound receptor called the Activin type II receptor.

Myostatin has been found in humans and several other mammals, as well as in birds and fish. Its functions in non-mammalian vertebrates appear to be somewhat conserved, as muscle-specific actions have been demonstrated in birds. However, it is produced in many different fish tissues, suggesting that it may regulate more than just muscle mass in these vertebrates.
