He’s exaggerating but you don’t blow him out of the water by any means. To be fair tho you look like you’re at the end the biggest bulk cycle ever. Look:
Could probably pass you off as natty to someone less cynical/distrustful
Hahaha yeah i was trolling , not about the 15 or 10ibs weight difference though. Although im not exactly a teletubby either. Originally thought you were a douche that does stupid shit but you seem genuinely interested to learn.
I had a great laugh regardless. Well I like your enthusiasm kid, work as hard as you can and you’ll achieve whatever your mind is set to. Heck who knows you might even look way better than me in 5 years of training
oh no lol. That’s actually me in the pics, I just wanted to troll a little. I know my flaws and what I need to work on. I’m not planning on competing anytime soon
I haven’t used gear or Soviet Sport Supplements for 7 years lol and my nutrition/training ethic is great. I’ve trained for 6 years, recently I started experimenting with AAS. I thought you were also trolling when you said that
Could not choose which GIF to use so you get all of them:
Makes more sense now. However whether 7 years, 1 year or 1 cycle: statement still stands. PEDs unlike their legal supplement counterparts are incredibly powerful/effective and it’d take something equally as ineffective in other aspects e.g. training to come out with anything less than un-natty results.
If, and that’s a big if, nutrition is on point then training/programming has likely been sub-optimal for years. Training ethic/hard work, the buzzword of half natties everywhere, has very little to do with anything. You can train as hard and be as dedicated as humanly possible and still hold yourself back with a poor training program.
My bad. The 147 was a combination of my dyslexia and how you look (174 in thread title). Sorry.
You said your rotator cuffs are inflamed. Every successful guy on this site has some sort of face pulls and band pull apart in their log for healthy shoulders. Do them, they helped me rehab my shoulder after falling through a floor.
Some strength coach (can’t remember who) recommended 1.5-2 times more rowing/pulling volume than pressing volume to keep the shoulder balanced.
Followed by:
One of those statements isn’t true. That is a game of venereal disease roulette if ever there was one. Get better goals lol.
Back’s lagging pretty hard, too. I’d put the Hollywood shit on the backburner and double down on rowing. Good possibility that’s why you’re shoulders are fooked. Facepulls, band pull aparts, shoulder circles (see “bulletproof your shoulders”), for warming up. You need a bit more in the width department than you do in thickness, so wide-grip pullups, pullovers/straight-arm lat pulls, and wide neutral-grip rows should be hammered. Deadlifts, farmers or trap bar carries, and shrugs (hi-rep just to finish off the upper traps) will take care of the rest for now.
Nice thing about pullovers is just how much muscle is involved. Triceps long head, outer pecs, rear delts, lats, serratus, abs, internal rotators… great all-around upper body lift. Be careful of your shoulders, though. If you have severe issues, they could be a no-go.
Okay this section of the forum is an absolute shit show. Nothing good ever comes out of it.
Yes op may be a walking gym bro cliche, and his posts are strange. But for the people criticising his physique or how long it’s taken him to reach his current level are a joke. All of you have either, only just started building your physiques, don’t have a physique any where close or have never provided any pictures of there physiques. Jealousy maybe? Please post current physique pics to this thread and compare them to this guy.
I think you look good and pretty solid looking for your weight. But this section is a joke and most people who post to be rated are usually only after validation and don’t contribute much.
Yeah, I noticed after the third post where I was being bashed by a 15 year old who says he looks better than me (physique wise) and got over 10 lbs on me as well. Lots of trolling and non-related to progress criticism
Also I’m not a walking gym bro cliche. My work/training/diet ethic has always been very strict. Ive always researched my supplements and diet programs, and studied different routiness from Classic bodybuilders, like Tom Platz (e.g).
The way I set up the post was just to see what upper body parts I need to focus on to develop better while having a little sense of humor (NOT Trolling) or to be bashed on
Thanks so much again for the keeping up and being serious on what I should be foucusing on.
The shoulders are done. I’ve dislocated my left one 7 times, so cuffs are really torn and worn out. Good thing is I can just put it back in place myself so no ER visits
That doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t handle pullovers. Just start light and increase the weight intelligently. Its seriously too good of a lift to write off without giving it a fair shot.
And those “bulletproof” shoulder circles are a godsend. Amazing how they perk up the shoulders and get em feeling tuned up.
