Does the meat every get exercised with electric current or anything? Can you make it bigger that way like real muscle..

There are different approaches of helping the engineered muscle tissue to mature, one being electrical stimulation. It's an interesting idea to use it to increase the volume, but the effect of very high stimulation on texture has to be considered as well!
