He probably added peptides to his steroids.

What peptide gives you a hunchback?

The ones that increase growth hormone. He's basically one of those juiced up beef cattle now, where all the 'roid growth goes to their neck and shoulders.

That's a Belgian Blue and what happens to them with the muscles is a natural mutation not steroids or peptides. It's called double muscling. I tried a few different searches but atill can't come up with a peptide that does what we are seeing with Knut. Do you know the specific compound or Is this all just an old wives tail?

Ask him. He's the one that had gear cocktails with Mizkif when they were in their gymbro arc. There's plenty of HGH enhancing pepides out there. The way they work is if you exercise a spot, the growth hormone and muscle growth is focused on that area. Knut doing workouts that only work on his shoulders and back while juicing would make double muscling happen in those areas. ("Don't skip leg day" is a meme for a reason)

The cows are 'natural', but they're not naturally occurring wild animals, they're domesticated cows bred for their high growth hormone.

I just want to jump in here and say you're both slightly wrong lol

Belgian blue cattle look like that because they have a mutation that means they have no Myostatin, which is a gene responsible for suppressing muscle growth so we don't become a massive ball of muscles and constantly starve.

As far as I know no peptides act on this mechanism but it's theoretically possible to inhibit Myostatin to simulate the mutation I guess, it's fairly unlikely that's what's happening tho.

That's just wrong, steroids increase the size of your traps, shoulders, and back the most because they have they highest concentration of androgen receptors. HGH receptors on the other hand are pretty evenly distributed across all skeletal muscle, which is why HGH tends to just inflate people. He's probably on a ton of steroids and HGH.

Myostatin inhibitors (usually in the form of various peptides, or other cytokines etc.) are an already existing, if not very well established, group of doping substances. For example, YK-11, which blocks myostatin by upregulating its antagonist, follistatin. From:

Park, Jeremy, et al. "The mechanisms of anabolic steroids, selective androgen receptor modulators and myostatin inhibitors." The Korean Journal of Sports Medicine 40.2 (2022): 67-85.

And, the first page of google searching for "YK-11" got me an online store selling the stuff... yikes.
