"One of the problems I think we will have with this stuff is that you won't be able to eat enough to make it work very fast. So I have incorporated an energy absorbtion mechanism into the solution as well. It will allow your body to absorb energy from any source and convert it directly into usable fuel by the solution. The absorbtion mechanism is controlled by muscle stress so when you flex really hard, the absorbtion sequence is active.
When you are relaxed or not exerting too much force on your muscles, the absorbtion sequence is inactive. For tonight's experient, I have rigged up some high-intensity lamps that will act as an energy source for you once you have taken the solution. If you will just stand over there beneath the lights." I motioned him to a slightly raised area where I had positioned several powerful floodlights.
He stood on the platform with the vial in one of his massive hands, grinning. "Ready when you are", he said.
I turned on the floods to half power and said, "Alright, drink the contents of the vial It will take a few minutes for the solution to enter your blood stream so relax".
Scott uncorked the vial and downed the liquid in one gulp. "Tastes pretty rank", he said, "But anything for science."
A couple of minutes passed and I said, "Alright, start flexing. There should be enough in your system now to begin the reaction."
Scott obliged me by hitting some really hard most muscular poses, a side biceps, some leg contractions and a lat spread.
"I don't know if it's working yet but I feel pretty good", he said.
"Remember, the solution has to replace your existing tissue before it builds new muscle. You should be significantly stronger at this point even though you don't look different yet."
"Let's find out", Scott said, picking up a pair of 150lb dumbbells from the rack behind him. He started to curl them. Slowly at first and then with increasing ease.
"Not bad! Not bad at all!", I said, barely able to contain my excitement.
"You ain't seen nothing yet", Scott said, obviously pleased with himself, "Watch this..."
