i don’t even work out
you can’t even block in this forum are you clinically retarded
they all look better before
A guy who gained muscles and looks like less of a skinny bitch
Yes but my point is that if you are a natural, young man, with a good diet, and good testosterone levels, simply eating at a caloric surplus will build most of the muscle you need to have a good physique without having to lift. (ESPECIALLY!!!! if youre a growing boy) Lifting just targets where you want that muscle to be built. That pioc is genuinely impressive how much he widened his frame though, I thought it was surgery. He increased his bidelt by atleast 3 inches
Depends how active you are, if your sitting in gaming chair all day hunched over your posture is going to get worse and your stabilizer muscles in your back and neck will become weaker making you look like a bitch.
Such a retarded move, 90% of skinny fat people think they need to build muscle instead of lean out due to gymcel jargon and they get fat
Bulking while low bodyfat is extremely satisfying especially as a noob because you can visibly see your progress day by day
You look great. Ideal ottermode physique. At this point any work you do in the gym will just be for hobby and to maintain.
I mean for people who started out with gay alien skinnyfat physiques, I think your first move should always be to cut down to 12% its so much easier to track your anabolic progress while lean
99% of people dont understand the BASICS of the hypertrophy process. And they train incorrectly.
But come on, an aggressive cut is only ideal for those who r not overweight, otherwise u will lose 10kg and still be fat lol
And "bulking" is the stupidest thing, the hypertrophy process doesnt even involve as many proteins as normies think
appreciate that
You do lack vascularity idk if thats due to leanness, hydration, or age, but if you work on anything for aesthetic Id work on that
thats why i want to get leaner
yeah, and btw the really best way to monitor ur anabolic process is with load progressions. After all, hypertrophy is an adaptation
And WTF. What is the b4 and after???? No after is on the left side NONE
Its very genetic, but alot of it has to do with hydration and water retention. If you eat alot of sodium and drink water you get bloated which completely hides veins. One day eat super low sodium, drink a ton of water, and get a pump late at night and see how the vascularity is then
Youre right im editing post to include active lifestyle
i dont eat too much salt but i can try it tomorrow
I mean, in a way ure right. Ppl just go to the gym and leave with muscle fatigue lol
And pray that they dont have dominant type 1 fibers
Of course but my point is they should cut FIRST before bulking. There is no muscle gain without gaining weight of course
Yes of course. You should be shredded to the point where you have quad striations and ab veins before going on a bulk. And I wouldn’t even bulk without gear and GH past your first year in the gym.
You type 1 dominant? Do you ever get sore for a couple days after training or it always feels like you did jack shit?
No, and i didnt necessarily take the test to find out my fiber type
No he's asking you specifically if you feel sore for a few days after your workouts, or if you don't really feel sore that much.My English is so bad that I cant understand if u r asking me something and need some help tbh, so I just translated whatever shit I wrote into English. Read it if u need it
To sum up, no, Idk my type1. Feeling sore or anything like that is a terrible sign. That should only be normal for someone who's been training for 2 weeks. And if u have these symptoms for a long time, u have a fucked up training volume/frequency.
2. How to "figure it out": Type 1 (slow twitch, endurance oriented, fatigue resistant) Type 2A/2B (both fast twitch, responsible for strength, power, and possess the greatest growth potential). One way to know ur dominance is by checking how easily u get a pump, since pumps r caused by metabolite accumulation, which type 2 fibers produce more of. If u get a pump easily, ure likely more type 2 dominant. Whereas if its difficult, ure probably type 1. Another indicator is ur natural physique or ur physique before training. If u have naturally big calves and arms which r primarily composed of type 2 fibers u most likely have a higher proportion of type 2 fibers. If its the opposite, u get the idea. Furthermore, u can test ur instantaneous force production by seeing how high u can jump, since jumping is a key measure and u'll definitely jump higher if u have a higher proportion of type 2 fibers.
In a way, its not the only measure for everything. You can be small due to other things. Muscle and bone insertion points, tendons, "metabolism", etc.... etc... etc... Its just a disadvantage for pure size gains, since studies confirm that type 2 fibers hypertrophy 25 to 75% more in response. That's why being type 2 fiber dominant is more beneficial, since they are the fibers that hypertrophy the most lol.
To maximize their growth, u have to get close to failure with explosive efforts (mechanical tension, involuntary slowdown) since type 2 fibers r only recruited in those moments. And isolating type 1 fibers is kind of pointless, considering they are recruited literally always lol.
@Copercel @IraniancelV2 @Orka
Nah, ideally u would literally feel nothing
He is asking if you feel sore. Not what you would feel ideally.
Yeah after few years lifting I don’t feel shit except legs sometimes maybe abs
But yeah nigga I replied with "nah" and even added somethingis a sign of fatigue
It’s mainly cope for small people. Even if you are “type 1 dominant”, it’s not like you are completely lacking type 2.My English is so bad that I cant understand if u r asking me something and need some help tbh, so I just translated whatever shit I wrote into English. Read it if u need it

Calm down buddy
Let's be more respectful, I didn't delete anything, I just mentioned "theories"yeah i obviously know that the pump isn't just that, but is it wrong? Can u tell me?Interesting that u talk abt sodium and carbs, I thought this was metabolite accumulation???Idk, maybe the meaning changes to English, right?
Just look at their functions and test them, right?
Idont want to get into arguments abt shit like that. I didnt even understand ur question anyway
