I’m torn between… congratulations and you must be nuts!
And just so you know, whoever found the diaper called you a nasty bitch.

While meanwhile @anna_5588 thinks to herself: “life hack!”

Congratulations to you both, and the very best of luck going forward!

Have you seen Instant Family, with Mark Whalberg? I’d also recommend Rent A Kid.

Are these kids you’ve known?

My goals: I want a bigger chest and shoulders and a 600 lb deadlift.

My body: Ehh, your shoulder is going to be perpetually injured. If you want to train hard then it’s going to have to be leg movements that don’t require your arms.

No, my wife and I made it a priority to get our own affairs in order (married for a certain amount of time, financial and career stability, actually love each other, etc.) before we chose to foster-adopt kids. Bio-kids were never a priority to us and we hate to see siblings separated. We intentionally requested siblings.

Yep! We really liked Instant Family, which is exactly what happened to us. Ha.

Sounds like tow strap deadlifts are on the bill for you man.

Confession: As typical with Hollywood transformations, there’s a lot of hubbub over Kumail Nanjiani’s physique for an upcoming Marvel movie. For sure, the dude transformed in a big way. I’ve seen him listed at 5’9" and saying he was 150 pounds and put on 20 pounds for the role.

Confession here being, while I acknowledge that celebs have plenty of reasons to use anabolics, I believe there’s no reason whatsoever to suspect that this guy needed gear given the end result, though that’s a claim some are of course throwing around.

He was a relatively untrained skinny-fatish guy who worked with a trainer and nutritionist for a full 12 months. Those results under those conditions are definitely believable. If you work with Thib or Paul Carter or Meadows or Cosgrove or Stu or any legit coach for a full year and you actually do what they say, wild results will happen. Throw in a coach’s understanding that jacked shoulders and arms plus ab definition looks awesome on screen, and you’re set.

Nevermind that the pics everyone’s flipping out over are from a photo shoot, which isn’t everyday walking around condition. This is:

Dude looks good pumped and shirtless. Walking around is very much DYEL?

Hate that’s how it is though until you’re really big. Makes me sad for my immediate future :cry:

I feel like this is one of the most significantly overlooked aspects of these hollywood transformations. Folks don’t realize that the photos or the 3 seconds of shirtlessness on screen in the movie were a full day’s production where looking as good as possible was the entire goal.

Are asymmetrical abs more or less cool than symmetrical abs?

Asking for a friend.

Symmetry is more comely. Asymmetrical looks more fearsome.

Any chump can have washboard abs: hail damage abs are a whole new level.

I always wondered this in the competitive bodybuilding world. They all shoot for balance and symmetry but your abs are simply how your made. Not much you can do about it.

It depends on what I have. Haven’t seen them in a while though. Don’t actually remember them.

I’ve never seen my abs. Hopefully I will see them mid 2020 for the first time! I’ve always been curious what they look like and how many I have. I know every bodies is different. Knowing my luck I’ll have the ugliest “3 pack” of abs :joy:
