/fit/ here with a medical / biochem question.
Have you guys heard of Rich Piana's 8 hour arms workout? It's a routine this guy invented which consists of alternating the same arm exercises (tricep extension and curls) for 8 hours and drinking a lot of protein shakes inbetween. He claims you can gain 1 inch of arm circumference within 1 session.
An anon on /fit/ said this routine could cause rhabdomyolysis. Is this true? Can a long workout really lead to such severe medical complications? From reading the wikipedia I, as a layman, would assume it's impossible to cause that much damage when you workout reasonably.
Second question: Does this trick even work? Is it scientifically really possible to gain a whole inch of arm volume in a single day?
Third question: Would this also work for a femanon?

YOU NEED TO INJECT COCAINE AND TESTOSTERONE DIRECTLY INTO YOUR PENIS FOR THIS TO WORK FEGGIT

>Can a long workout really lead to such severe medical complications?
It says in the wikipage that one possible cause is "extreme physical exercise (while poorly hydrated)". Doing the same movements for 8 goddamn hours sounds pretty extreme to me.

>8 hours
eight fucking hours
mate, at that point there is no "could cause" anymore, it's "will cause"

>Is it scientifically really possible to gain a whole inch of arm volume in a single day?
you can't, your body literally needs to rest in order to grow them muscles, and that won't happen in a single day as that would use up too much resources from the body
at the end of that workout your muscles will be continously under tension thus making it seem bigger, but that's not real muscle growth

>Doing the same movements for 8 goddamn hours sounds pretty extreme to me.
Really? For some people 8 hours of physical labour is the normal working day.

Yes, you can gain much more than that in much less than a day. Just look at these siq quad gainz bruh
>An anon on /fit/ said this routine could cause rhabdomyolysis. Is this true? Can a long workout really lead to such severe medical complications?
people get rhabdomyolysis from treadmill desks, so yes almost certainly
>Second question: Does this trick even work? Is it scientifically really possible to gain a whole inch of arm volume in a single day?
>Third question: Would this also work for a femanon?
yes, but it would be pooling of lymph from strain on muscles and surrounding tissues, not actual hypertrophy

Does your dick hang lower than your balls?
The 1 inch added to your arms is just a pump. I know you're trolling but for those who don't know, Rich Piano is a meme, people just watch to make fun of him, look at the comment section.
