Devon is possibly natty.
Bros I've always wondered if being in war zones spikes your hormones in a certain way. Also if the inverse is true, like being in a white gated community or east Asian country like worst Korea or Japan, if it's possible that the safety and lack of threats perhaps leads to a silencing of certain androgens. All without the influence of drugs or exonesteogens. Just environmental pressures if that makes sense.
Not knocking larrat, but he's definitely not and there's nothing wrong with that. If you're an elite in your craft it is expected. He stayed more compact before he got mind broken by that Denis dude, but it was because he didn't need to be gigantic for his play style, where he just tried to bleed people's energy and win once they were gassed. Idk if you saw but he got fricking huge for awhile
Yeah he did. Largely agree anon but I think he stayed natty for longer than most would give credit to someone that high level.
I would definitely say he was using much less than these past few years. He was way more athletically proportioned and handsome, no homo, and then just like bogged tf out of himself in the span of a couple years. His physical appearance looks crazy different even though he's still lean, he looks a lot older. He's a cool dude, but I think getting demolished by those genetic freaks in Europe did a number on him. Watching Denis take him out with ease is hard to watch

You sound oretty gay bro.
Also
>genetic freaks
It's just roids as always.
are you two actually moronic?
>is there anyway to get super strong?
yes. progressive overload and a meat heavy diet

I do heavy and light sets.
Meaning I exhaust my muscles with heavy stuff and then I do light weight to failure.
idk if it helps tbqh I just like it and it grows my muscles
just keep lifting man. Keep increasing weights weekly; stay safe, don’t be stupid
and eat protein obviously
How about the obvious thing like lifting heavy things?
>5'4" 120
it's over for you
Are you a minor?
Your dumbell ohp is pretty impressive for your bench strength tbh, assuming you aren't cheating tf out of it. Everyone starts somewhere just beat yesterday
Use an app to find out your daily calorie needs. Eat an excess of calories over your daily needs. Lift weights at least three times a week. You'll get strong. Everybody started where you are now.
Read a book like Starting Strength to make it easier.
You can get really strong, especially as a short guy, but you have to eat more. You have to gain some weight while lifting weights to gain lots of strength. Start with sets of 6-10 for most of your lifts. Once you have form completely down you should try out sets of 3-6 for your compound exercises like bench press and squats. Those build almost exclusively strength. It's not a good idea on isolation lifts like curls because the biceps aren't designed to handle high weight with low reps. The types of lifts to focus on for real world strength are the overhead press, incline press, row, squat, hip hinge, and weighted carry. Those 6 movement patterns and their combinations are what make up the entirety of the sport of strongman, which is essentially just a test to see who is the strongest rural laborer in the world
>esoteric secret knowledge
Isometrics will get you very strong and don't add size to your frame so long as you're not doing them in a stretched position. Overcoming isometrics are the most powerful for this but they only carry over a little bit outside of the position you practice so you need to do multiple positions across a movement pattern. Like if you wanted to use them on your overhead press to get wildly strong, you'd practice them near the bottom, just overhead, a bit past halfway, and near lockout. Yielding isometrics are good for stability and coordination; think of the horse stance in Eastern martial arts. When done properly, as in flexing your whole body while stance training, you end up with a fantastic exercise for total body strength and coordination. You also have heavy eccentrics. These build your joints like crazy and you can't keep them in a program for more than a month at a time or you'll for sure get injured. You take the positive out of the rep as much as possible and use a weight that's normally too heavy for you just for the negative. Something like cheat curls are a good example. Screencast this for future research and ref.

He looks Russian now.
How long have you been lifting and how old are you?
