How I Stay at 8% Bodyfat Year Round

Either fix your attitude or stop trying to be one.

I realized very quickly I “didn’t have the genetics” to play sports so I don’t bother

But you dont understand ronnie coleman has god tier genetics and I have dogshit genetics

And yet you have time to take selfies in the gym (significantly less useful than recording lifting videos)…and time to waste (presumably) hours watching YouTube fitness personalities and yet more hours arguing on a forum.

Maybe you should look at what busy means and re-prioritize you time.

Also why did you post here, what did you hope to achieve? If you’re not trolling why did you ask advice and then refuse to accept it whilst making every conceivable excuse under the sun?

If you’re not trolling then you have all the answers you need in this thread - the problem is you: you don’t know how to eat and you don’t know how to train and you’ve got a crap attitude.

I didn’t write that to be a dick, just stating what I see here, good news is if you’re not a troll and you’re being genuine - you can easily fix the problems, just going to first need to accept you are the problem and then drop the attitude, accept the advice and get to work.

Thank you but I have been training for 2 years and body will only get stronger but not bigger it is very weird and I will try to change the way that I train it just I heard for hypertrophy you to train in 8 to 12 rep range and rest only 1 min for results and that if you are lifting for strength you to be the 1 to 5 rep range and rest 5 mins to get stronger

This is kinda par for the course, isn’t it? People outside of the gym usually say something like “there’s no way my genes would let me hold as much muscle as you” when talking about lifting. Then, I pull a picture of 18-year-old GarageRocker off my Facebook and the tone changes quickly. Genes are a small part at best I think.

If you actually enjoy lifting, just quit the physique goals and be a power lifter… simple solution :man_facepalming:

Would require squatting.

Yup this X 1000. You’re already lean you’re (wrongly) convinced you won’t gain muscle, so you won’t. Enjoy lifting and video some of those PRs for us when you can.

In regards to the squatting for every excuse you make I can link a video to why it’s just that an excuse, I’ll start with this:

Get squatting, start powerlifting, problem solved.

I only have 2 video of me doing pull ups with a 45 pound plate for 3 reps at 150lbs bodyweight and a 90lb weight dip for 2 reps at 150lbs

Predictably, not a single set to failure. To say nothing of the dip ROM.

How do you know?

I heard it is bad to go to a full range of motion on weighted dips because you can injury your shoulder and I did train to failure I literally could do another rep that is failure

Because I only get stronger but not bigger

How do you thats because of genetics?

How do you know its not because of:
What you eat
How much you eat
Your training style
Your training intensity
Your sleep quality
Overtraining
Undertraining
Recovery days
Stress levels
etc

Nope.

Failure is failing on a rep. It’s in the name.

You stopped before failure.

And based off the fact you are getting no results, that is good evidence against your dipping method.

And my main point was that I did get stronger a and stronger = bigger and that was my first year of training weighing 150lbs

And my main point is you are training poorly and misrepresenting how you train :slight_smile:

And I only did half rep on dips because every on YouTube said that it’s bad to go all the way down on weighted dips because you can injury your shoulder and thing about half reps is that they still work even pro bodybuilders do half reps on dips and still get results it’s just that I have shit genetics

right…

Not for you.

Try trying sometime.
