Question on muscle growth

[blackspidey85]

Something that bothers me, just how much of an affect does gravity have on the development of your muscles... I seemed to somehow develope this fear that the downward force of gravity is pulling down on my muscles, and holding back/inhibiting their fullness, roundness, shapliness, and overall size.

Can you guys please help me out and help me clear my head.

Your fears are well founded. You should try sleeping in water to minimize the effects of gravity. The best way to do this is to fill the bathtub with water and take a bunch of sleeping pills before you get in.

Well my friend,

There is a type of training employed by body building and many weight trainers known as negatives which focus on the come down or with gravity. In order to build muscle you need to create muscle breakdown and through rest and nutrition the muscle grow. But negatives create more muscle breakdown and if done correctly build muscle arguably greater than the positive movement against gravity.
