x2 on violin being harder. And it’s not even close. Mostly because of the intonation difficulty, and the complexity of the right and left hand performing totally different tasks simultaneously. These are the 2 instruments I grew up playing, and I always wished I had started violin earlier (was 8 when I started).
and x3 on getting an ID avatar!! I got cash money ID! Would love to commission an avatar.
Also, It’s funny that you posted this today Frank. I was actually googling you yesterday since I hadn’t seen you around, I thought maybe you were in jail for the street bed thing earlier this year. You get in any real trouble for that?
I thought we were playing that game where you tell me to do something, and then I make fun of your sexuality. I only have half the directions though. You inserted the other half anally.
I now return this thread back to Frank Yang and friends.

Hey Frank, love your body transformations. Your video is pure gold lol.
Here’s something for you to chew on though. I’ll give you that violin is harder than piano, but you’ve obviously never tried playing the horn!
In a contest of instrument difficulty when performed at very high levels of virtuosity, I put the horn at the top of that list every time! I’m sure I’m biased… but I think many people would agree with me.
Playing that instrument professionally is like driving an 18 wheeler through the eye of a needle.

I would like to see a comparison photo of the ‘brad pit’ look and the ‘bane’ look, how long it took, and what your program was to get to the ‘bane’ look. I have enjoyed most of your art work, and training videos, some of them I don’t get, but for the most part enjoyable to watch, and you’re def very talented as an artist and an athlete. Glad you are a member of T-Nation. And getting a ‘genious’ from Iron Dwarf=Badass[/quote]
For the Brad Pitt body, I starved myself for about a month. For the last 10 days or so, I did cardio first thing in the morning with an empty stomach while taking in about 500 calories a day and did not lift at all during this phase to lose muscle mass.
For the Bane body, I stuffed myself with as much food as I can 4 times a day, and in between I drink protein shakes that contained weight gainer and cottage cheese and lots of peanut butter.
In the weight room I did your typical bodybuilding split.
push day, pull day, 2x leg in a week with 3 - 5 sets of 8-15 reps starting with compounds with lots of rest and end with machines with short rest for the “pump”

Not yet lol. I am going to court though in Jan. I expect a fine.

Yes playing an instrument at an advanced level is all hard… but some require more practice. My violin teacher’s husband is a horn player and her daughter plays wind instruments as well. She told me that wind instruments in general don’t need that much practice (2 hours a day on average as opposed to 3-6 for the strings). Maybe you can shred some light on this?

Props to you man for picking up those instruments at young age.

Which is more flattering, X calling me HUGE or ID calling me “genious”
