When you lift weights, your body’s protein-making response doesn’t change much from week to week — but it’s very different from person to person.
Scientific Claim
Myofibrillar protein synthesis responses to resistance training are less variable within individuals than between individuals, suggesting that anabolic signaling is more consistent for a person across time than it is across different people.
Original Statement
“MyoPS rates were less heterogenous within versus between individuals.”

Assessment Explanation
The claim is purely descriptive and directly supported by the data presented. No causal inference is made, so the verb strength is appropriately conservative.
More Accurate Statement
“Myofibrillar protein synthesis responses to resistance training are less heterogenous within individuals than between individuals, suggesting that anabolic signaling is more consistent for a person across time than it is across different people.”
Evidence from Studies

Resistance training load does not determine resistance training-induced hypertrophy across upper and lower limbs in healthy young males.
Even though people gain muscle differently from each other, each person tends to respond the same way to training over time—like their body has its own consistent recipe for building muscle.
