Blogging About The Truth To Gain Weight & Build Muscle Mass!

A huge stereotype that has been around for some time now is that many believe that bodybuilders and athletes in general that are black are more genetically predispositioned to build more muscle mass than white individuals.

Well, Muscular Development cites a study that’s reported in the Medicine Science Sports Exercise of research done at the University of Maryland. They took nearly 200 black and white individuals. For ten weeks they were made to perform leg extensions on only one leg, that way the could compare the results against each other. After study was finished, they measured any muscle built or fat lost in the trained area…..and discovered that there was absolutely no advantage in gains in muscle mass or fat lossed amongst the different races.

Yet another long-believed bodybuilding myth that many have had their heads in the sand about for the longest now.
