    Just found this on the web, even though it's just about a year old. The article on this link makes me wonder just how close humanity really is to a real muscle growth drug. Hope this hasn't been posted before. This is the most updated news on this research I've found. Here's the link. Possible testing in humans: 2008!

    This story has been around for a while but that is the most current news article I've seen.

    I wonder how many women bodybuilders would take advantage of this and possibly grow as muscular as men are now…?

    I know, I know I'm dreaming…  😉

    Whoa there!  As a postgrad student in a similar are of study, can I just add some perspective here?  The drug will be tried in a small-scale trial in patients suffering from bone wastage.  It will assess the safety and general efficacy of the treatment.  Even as a bone-enhancer in cancer patients it's probably 8-10 years from being a commonly-used therapy.  Then you have to consider the related myostatin inhibitor (of which many have been tried, almost always without success) which will take longer still, even if it works.  One buff bull does not an FBBing revolution make! ::)

    True, true…

    But it's one hell of a promising start!

    Promising, yes, but there have been many such which have proven to be false dawns.
