Finding a needle in a stack of needles. (body building)

[ChroniC]

No, not some strange thread about steroid needles, but rather a hunt for actual facts amongst so many "FACTS" 100% read more, this will make you big etc etc.
There seems to be a trillion website touting their headlines as fact to get click bait and ad revenue. It's prolific. So much so that it's become actual folklore for some. Aka bro Science.

That said, have there been scientific studies by actual real scientists, in real published papers on muscle gain/growth that can be read?

I'm sick of listening or reading crap from fitness companies or personal trainers pedaling their theories, "do 12reps, do 5 reps, trian to exhaustion, rest loads" etc etc
Thanks

Well aren't you mr presumptious. Although 1 fact is right, I have no idea what I'm looking for. Hence the thread, otherwise I wouldn't have started it asking for them, wiseguy.
Given that typing in "scientific papers on muscle building" brings up bodybuilding.com etc I'm inclinded to believe that maybe I would be looking for a while in the wrong direction, unless someone points me towards a science paper website that is free.
Might you have been inclinded to do so rather than being sour and berating me, I would have been very grateful.
My biology A level from many decades ago might get dusted off and looked at with excitement if my ill gotten brain gets too big, so nothing to complex would be nice, I will of course have to put down my copy of Gracia and get out my dictionary.

Or was your post a huge bunch of forum science.

The problem is and I think it's why I want a more regimented looked at the facts, is that what works for one person might not work for another. Or to be more precise, what one giant guy assumed was his reason for getting big might not be actually reproducable for others or might not have been the reason he got big in the first place.
If you get down to the core science of how things work then at least you can start to form some sort of key points and have a far greater focus on important factors.
If it is more important to have the protein than it is to lift heavy, or visa versa or anything in between then I would like to see that through actual studies rather than hearsay for practical and research reasons.

I will check out the website Mrthingyx, thankyou. I do have a lot of time on my hands and am interested in the subject.
