Solid natty gains, OP
You look good. You have body dysmorphia.
>trusting before and afters on IG
Most aren’t natty. The ones that are are the ones that picked up momentum in the algorithm. ie. They’re massive outliers.
If you keep at it for another year or two you’ll leave humanity behind — not in IST or roidtroony metrics, but in normie metrics, which is the only thing that matters.
Merry Christmas, homie
these are great gains man. don't worry at all. keep the same energy you've had in the year prior in this coming one and it's only up from here. girls will be able to gtell you lift!
this is a good post. don't trust ig. anyone can look great for a SINGLE picture with a pump, lighting, angles, sweat and everyone's favourite; PEDS.
try this for yourself. on the asme day, tke a pic of you in different angles, lighting, leaning forwad etc etc.. and you can make yourself look like a sikkunt for 1 pic. don't buy it man, keep working you look great
the transformation i referred to was definitely natty, no overblown traps or shoulders, the guy’s not too vascular either but he started off as someone who looked like they didn’t eat at all to someone who looked like they lift even with a shirt on, they had actual mass
Depends on genetics,but remember this brother,just because something is achivable natty does not mean it is natty,further more,if you did not achive it,it is simoply not achivable for you in that time frame,that being said,your gains are top notch after just a year,keep grinding brother,and you will be a beast soon enough
You look like you lift for the average normie that didn't get brainwashed by years of IST, blackpills and fit media.
You make 70-80% of your progress in the first year, so genetic outliers who have good genetics for gaining muscle are going to see incredible results in their first year of training.
But yeah, the amount of gains you make in first year (70-80%) happens to EVERYONE irregardless of genetics. So if you have bad genetics for gaining muscle, you still gain 70-80% of your gains in the first year, but because you have bad genes your 70-80% will look DYEL compared to a genetic outliers 70-80%
So no, if you look DYEL after the first year, with your 70-80% gains, you wont see much of a difference in 5 years or 10 years or even 20+ years. That said the genetic outlier who brutally mogs you, he as well only has 20-30% of his gains left to make, so he as well wont look that much different after 5-10 or 20 years training.
How you look after your first year of training is what you will look like for the rest of your training life give or take a few kilograms of muscle, and I know that is something people here just refuse to believe as being the truth, but that is the reality of the situation.
The good thing is, if you have decent/good genetics, you'll only need 1 year of training to actually be pretty close to your life-time limit naturally. The hardest part about lifting weights is staying motivated to continue lifting for years/decades after the 1st year, because you'll figure out yourself eventually how the first year being 70-80% of your gains is 100% reality, and that it can be hard to keep on lifting for years and years to never see much improvements at all, and that is boring when you remember your first year of training where you changed dramatically.
The only real way to see dramatic changes to your physique after 1 year of training, is to take steroids. Steroids will give you a 2nd massive boost to your body-composition, similar to how your 1st year training gave you a massive boost to your body-composition.
Source? From my experience thats definitely not the case.
He's a bot.
This is true but usually takes 2-3 years of consistent training to reach 80%, not 1 year. Also most people arent eating enough and doing optimal training so they can take even longer. Maybe you could do it in 1 year with 6 day ppl with a trainer and perfect diet but most waste their first year with shit diet and shit training intensity.

That might be true if you give a beginner a completely optimized program and diet but most people spend years just figuring that out.
Either you are humble bragging, body dysmorphic or have unrealistic expectations. You look exactly like someone that has been lifting for about a year. Just keep at it anon, you already look better than 95% of all men.

Dubs and OP's mom forces him to watch her getting hammered by her bull, while his father is crying in regret in the other room. He never thought she would pull his son in their cuck relationship. But there's nothing a weak man like him can do.

double moron
Routine and diet?
standard push pull leg
2600kcal, 100-140g protein
plenty of eggs,milk
You look good man, delete your instagram account and stop using that homosexual shit
imagine
dragons?
Total guess but I'm probably right here, you're not going hard enough in the gym.
what rpe = hard enough
>natty
>instagram
Tasty bait
the one mistake you made was comparing yourself to anyone but yourself. if you're eating properly, exercising consistently and sleeping regularly,
you're working at your max potential. + your natty gains is pretty good
do more abs
lose 5 lbs
get better lighting
best ab workout?
plank do it for 30 minutes
crunches for higher abs
hanging on a bar and lifting your legs for lower abs
simple as.
don't do side abs unless you want hourglass figure
I see the stretch marks on your armpits. you have clearly put on some muscle
if you want to get way bigger, then take creatine, do 5x10s, and eat a lot of fricking food. focus on compounds and load up as high as you can go
you are probably doing something like SS which is fine for beginners but it's not optimal for hypertrophy
