>Muscle building takes time.
Not with good genetics and a proper diet.
My buddy has been going to the gym for about 18 months or so, I just started almost 7 weeks ago. He's already mentioned "genetics" and looked a little uncomfortable when I wore a tank top to the gym for the first time the other day. I've always been able to swing my weight one way or the other pretty quickly. For what it's worth, I've also worked labor intensive jobs for the past 25 years. Maybe there's something to that as well?
Yes. You have a lot of base volume. This is why I always work labor intensive jobs. Getting paid to set your physical base is great. Then you don't have to "train" nearly as often. I still do a couple high rpe workouts a week, but loading and unloading trucks and pushing heavy ass carts is a good place to start.
My point exactly.
I like DYEL despite having lifted intensively and eaten a high protein diet for 8 years, because of my genetics. Anytime someone says "just try this" "no no, try this" and I heed it, nothing changes.
It's a shot in the dark, but have you gotten your blood tested at all in the past 8 years? Muscle wasting is a symptom of insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes)
[...]
How much weight have you gained during that time?
Chinese progression 5 weeks
german volume training 6 weeks
repeat
(also eat more you dyel)
>just eat more bro!!!
DYELs and hard gainers should never bulk, all the extra calories go directly to their stomach making them skinny fat and look like they don't lift at all.

If you look better that's literally all that matters

not him, but I think I looked better when I was 52kg 6'1 than 82kg now, I put on a lot of fat in three years thinking I needed to "eat big to get big" and falling for bulk memes. Now just look skinnyfat and my lifts still suck and are DYEL (PPL routine, going to failure on isolation exercises, and progressive overload increasing the weight after every successful 5x5 on my compound lifts).
I'm considering giving up strength training and calorie surplus and training for hypertrophy/fat loss and focusing on bf%, training for strength was a mistake.
You don't know what your genetic potential is until you invest a significant ammount of time on lifting, by which point you will also look significally better than when you started. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Well first of all that guy you posted (Sean mills aka wheeze) is a blatant roid troony who has been shoving needles in his ass since his teens, so his advice doesn’t matter.
This. People b***h and moan so much about genetics. How about you mosey on down to a endocrinologist and see if you’re actually low test then, you fricking homosexual? And if you are take some frickin test! Jesus
Pretty much, if I had stayed consistent from when I first started lifting till now I'd have my goal body and then some, but I always end up getting sick and taking months off, getting busy, slacking on diet, etc
Consistency is the hardest part
Will you fight, OP? Or will you perish like a dog? My guess is the latter, considering how b***h made this post is
Were you in the navy in the first pic?
Why did you get your tattoo removed, only to put the same one on the other arm? Seems pointless.
It's a mirrored image
roids
fake, tattoo on wrong side
You just look more red in the after pic
Muscle building takes time.

Child.
This is my arm after 8 years of lifting. Is that what you mean by "takes time"?
Lifting what, groceries? Lmao

*look

I have but never looked into that specifically, I'll ask my doctor about it.
No you didn’t, not one can eat properly and lift consistency for 8 years and look like that. You are lying somewhere
>just eat more bro!!!
DYELs and hard gainers should never bulk, all the extra calories go directly to their stomach making them skinny fat and look like they don't lift at all.
>having lifted intensively
what does that entail, if you're being honest? like how many sets to failure per body part per 1-2 weeks?
Chinese progression 5 weeks
german volume training 6 weeks
repeat
(also eat more you dyel)
How much weight have you gained during that time?
I don't believe you
Basically me after 5 years, so I gave up. Haven't lifted in almost 1 year now.
kek what a b***h
that's just how genetics work. I obviously got a muscular body but at the end of the day I'm still small.
If you look better that's literally all that matters

GOOD MORNING SIR

Good posts.
Ignore everything else in the thread and listen to this guy
Blessed transformation

>genetics don't matter at all
nobody says that
Cope harder while the rest of us who actually enjoy the work thrive
It's both.
genetics do matter, still better look ok than bad so keep lifting
Well first of all that guy you posted (Sean mills aka wheeze) is a blatant roid troony who has been shoving needles in his ass since his teens, so his advice doesn’t matter.
That's a roider
is this the truecrypt thread?
I miss him. I'd love to see his wrinkle ass one more time.
with that logic, don't ever learn math or go to university because you need to be east asian to be a engineer or scientist.
I just enjoy lifting hard. I want resuls but that comes after me pushing it and not getting injured.
Oh, and roids give most people good genetics
