Self-diagnosed.
And considering he also jumped to medical problems for lack of progress, I wonder if he should look into hypochondria instead.

If a workout program has more than 6 exercises in one session I know it’s not for me. I don’t know how some of these programs have like 10+ exercises in a session. I’m ready to leave the gym after 3-4 haha.

Like, if you’re going to diagnose yourself with SOMETHING, why not make it something good?
Sorry dudes, but my test is naturally elevated and my myostatin is low. Also, I have that Benjamin Button disease and abnormally thick joints.

Confession: Today I found what an “incel” was. Never heard of this term in my life until today.
This is the dumbest and saddest thing I’ve ever heard of in my life. I can’t believe people can be so stupid. Well I can, but it still blows my mind when I find it to be true.
Too many people blame their problem on other people. You can’t change your past, but you can change from this moment forward. If more people took that approach I think we’d have a helluva a lot less sad people around.

Don’t look at YouTube for that. It’s even worse. Like real life Gollums.
If its the guy I’m thinking of - some advice:
I DO have Aspergers (called ASD in the UK) - and a (mild) form of bipolar. And a whole host of other issues that we will not unpick on a public forum. Because - well why would you.
My opinion of how to treat people with ASD -
Being on the ASD spectrum and even having genuine mental health issues can not mean some escapes fair reprimand for poor behavior.
Then look at this guys behavior. I doubt very much he’s genuinely suicidal. I hope he is not. And if he is, he needs help. But my feeling is - he’s saying things to get the response he wants from the world IE you/Tnation. And that’s manipulation and that’s not on.
I’m not saying the kid is not feeling like shit. And a bit lost. But honestly I think a lot more people would respond a lot better to “I’m just lost and feel like crap about it” - than “I want to die”. Be he does not think that. He thinks people will help a desperate man more than an honest man.
the reason I think he’s not being honest - unlike other post I’ve read about genuine body dis morphia on this site - there is no history of actually putting any effort in.
Its one thing to say - I’ve be trying for a few weeks failed, now I want to die. And another to real off a 18 month long history of extreme diets and exercise, failed relationships and drug taking. Now I need help please.
Just my thoughts.
Either way - your not an arse hole Bulldog.

It’s not the suicidal I want to be a BB guy. It’s someone who put in little to no work and brought up his aspergers because he didn’t understand sarcasm, which is valid. He’s still an entitled brat, you can be a brat with or without a disorder like that.

I second this, if I did that many exercises I would need to start paying the gym owner rent I’d be in there so fkn long !!
I have no idea whats going on in here lately with the excuses.
Well just for clarification and to make sure we are on the same page. The individual I am referring to is not the one i went after the other day.

What’s the difference lol? Maybe we’re feeding off the energy they left behind. The Chinese have a saying called 落叶归根, which means the fallen leave must return to the roots, which means you should go back to your hometown to die. Maybe the idea was to make sure the energy is reserved for your descendants. Man, I can woo woo the shit out of this lol.

Confession: After nearly 6 years of lifting I got my first hamstring pump today. I hated it, maybe I don’t really want big legs after all and I’ll just commit to becoming a pressing specialist…

I think that’s one of my favorite kinds. Hammies/quads together, and bi’s/tri’s together.
Should I extend my leg to allow my quads relief or flex it to allow my hams relief? Who knows?!
I’m hoping to learn to like it like an arm pump. It only took me 3 sets of hamstring curls to get there so on the bright side I just need to man up for 5 mins to see some good progress.
When I’d lift at a gym I’d do a set of 100 leg curls after deadlifts sometimes. Didn’t see a ton of growth since I didn’t do it often enough but it felt good. After a few times there was usually not even any soreness.
I’ve begun engaging with that one guy, haha. No clue how some of these people arrive to their conclusions on things.
