The Claim
High responders to resistance exercise training may exhibit greater satellite cell proliferation and myonuclear addition during training compared to low responders, though findings are inconsistent across studies and not universally replicated.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Some people get much stronger and build more muscle from weight training than others—this might be because their muscle cells grow more new nuclei, but not every study agrees on this.

What the research says
1 studySome people’s muscles grow a lot from weight training, others don’t — this study says those who grow more might have more muscle stem cells activating and adding nuclei to help muscles get bigger, but it’s not true for everyone and more research is needed.
