So here's one of my questions they say that a saiyan gets stronger after each battle and near death experience but what if they die and get brought back to life do they become even stronger or gain nothing? (Ex. Vegeta being revived in frieza saga)

Yeah, they get stronger after near death experience. They're called Zenkai's.

Saiyan Zenkai = What Does Not Kill me, Makes me Stronger

Survive Significant Injury ----> Significant Power-up

In all honesty, the "Zenkai" is the commonly used term to describe the increase; but there is no official one.

The Zenkai actually comes from the healing process, not the fight. If you die, there's no healing, therefore you gain nothing physically. Another thing to the Zenkai is that there's some kind of biological fail safe where a Saiyan can't get a Zenkai from self injury.

KR put it well. It's like working out, you damage your muscle tissue so that it forces itself to grow back stronger. A Zenkai is no different. It forces you to gain strength to defend your body from a future injury similar to what you just had.

I always wondered .... how does the Saiyan body know that the injury is self inflicted ?

I presume its along the same lines, idea wise, like how you cannot tickle yourself, it's because of a reaction others touching your skin. The physical act is the same, but it would be you doing the touching and it doesn't work.

I would guess it's something like that!

not true, goku got 3 on the way to namek from training too hard. the issue with vegeta was that he wouldn't be able to injure himself properly without actually killing himself. it was more practical to have krillin do it.
list of canon sources:

the DB manga, and the Dr. Slump manga as it applies to the crossover during the rra saga.

list of non canon sources:

everything else, regardless of origin, format, or quality.

for those that blindly follow word of god

He still had to heal from those training sessions. And there's the fact that the only reason he received three zenkai was because of the senzu.

The senzus' effects allowed his healing process to be instantaneous, therefore completely eliminating recovery time. This allowed him more training time, and more chances to recover (instantly) from that continued training.

To put it into perspective, think of it as you working out. You aren't stronger at the end of your work out than you were at the beginning. You get stronger as a result of recovering from the work out. It's the same concept with Zenkai, but Zenkai is obviously a haxed increase.

The more you have to heal and recover, the higher the zenkai you receive.
I think he was talking about the whole 'saiyan can't give himself a zenkai' thing.

Either way, that wouldn't be counted as deliberate self injury. Training yourself to near death is different than taking a chunk of meat out of your own arm.
