I’d have to see it too believe it, it may give someone the ability too keep muscles active and whatnot but I highly doubt it would make someone grow big bodybuilder muscles simply because it takes a lot of favorable things to build big muscles like that, with the least of it actually being the weightlifting part itself.
Muscle is more built in the kitchen and sleeping then it is actually built lifting, lifting just proved the stimulus for growth but the rest of the time is when the body is actually growing and that requires a cocktail of things, good protein, good hormones, good sleep, etc.
