your head actually got bigger because of weight lifting?? never heard of. i thought bone was kind of fixed after a certain age (then growing weaker as we age). Interesting.
i started weight lifting last year in november, found it a drag at first but now i'm enjoying it a lot, competing with myself.
Some week ago i used 40% Glycolic Acid to try to even out my skin tone + hopefully fix some of my scarring i have in my face. I used it for 2 minutes (previously tried it for 40 seconds, but there was little/no change or any redness). There was no burning or anything this time either, just slight tingling. It does seem to look more even now. i'm making sure to take collagen, vitamin c.. also ordered hyaluronic acid. As a cream i find something that contains Navarra Asparagus which according to research can thicken your skin and increase collagen too.
I have used anabolic substances. That could be an explanation but I really am dumbfounded at how my skeletal structure grew! I have not heard in forums other people talk about this.
Looking at pictures, straight on, my jaw looks more square. My face is less round at the bottom.
Yes bones are supposed to weaken after your 30s are over, but. weight lifting, eating a lot of food, and using anabolics a few times and my body became anabolic and added bone growth, tissue growth, and back on point, my face De-aged and plumped out.
My feet are the least affected by the new growth. They have grown as I keep shoes and boots a long time and they are tighter than before. But I can still wear them.
But my hands are where I notice it the most. I am on my 3rd wedding ring because fingers grew. Gloves that I bought a few years ago can't even pull them on.... My favorite watch won't fit over my hand.
I wonder how much of my 55 pounds is stuff other than muscle? Bones, skin, organs.
I was hoping that my spinal discs would regrow with the bones as I have a ruptured l5s1. But to no avail the disc did not heal. I have less pain and less frequent pain. I should have more issues being 55lbs heavier, but I don't. So maybe some growth and healing of the tear occurred.
It seems if you put your body into an anabolic state that it also affects facial tissue and can plump things up again.
It will only be temporary as aging is inevitable.
I have started on replacement hgh as an experiment and love the results on skin and nails.... Immediate results. My wife tolerates my hobbies and she wants to know what I am taking because she has a very hard time cutting my toenails.
