Don't cry about bad genetics until you've at least tried

[Broski]

A year ago on lookism I was told I have shit genetics for building muscle and crappy frame (I was 5'10 130lbs) so I said fuck it and hit the gym for a year (today) and gained 25lbs and barely any fat. People now say I'm jacked, have wide shoulders and big arms now, and this is all while being natty and being relatively new to the gym.

I remember hearing a trend about how good your insertions are based off how many fingers you can fit between your bicep and elbow. I believed I was doomed because I could only fit 3 fingers and it couldn't be changed. Now I can barely fit 2 fingers (which is good). Even my wrist size has increased by almost half an inch.

Call it cope, but don't give up and blame genetics without actually trying. Ofc I believe genetics are everything, but some people don't know their potential and would rather LDAR than give it a try.

Once youve actually tried everything in your power, then sure be my guest and cry, point is many of you are giving up too early.

there aren't any good indicators that will predict how you respond to resistance training, you won't know until you do it for several years.

I also started with a mediocre frame, also post your progress to motivate greycells.

That's my point, I was being flamed for having shit genes, had I listened i still would have been 130lbs twink bitching about "muh my genes crap"

Either I'm training wrong or my physique is just fucked, cause I've been training for 2 years and I still look twinkish

It is actually Normal. People here for some reason overestimate what is possible naturally.

I legit know people who go to the gym for a decade, and still look twinks. You could say: "oh they don't train right". Maybe. but many of them are capable of bench pressing 100kg

The thing is while my physique is not ideal I'm not sad about it perse. I think it's passable and its secondary to my face anyway, fixing my face is more important than fixing my physique right now

At least I look lean and not fat although it would be nice with some more muscle..

just fix everything you can now dont delay it. it will just take 3-4 months with little money and time.

cope

10 week test cycle results from reddit (Natty copers enter at your own risk)

500 mg test E. Fucking insane for 10 weeks. Jfl @ wasting months as a natty. Only real concern is hairloss and if you stay in the circle of certain roids you can easily counter it with fin+duta.

Yes but since I'm susceptible to mpb I'll have to cope with fin/dut anyway if I cycle since it'll just aggravate it so it's a cope either way jfl

I am 6'2 205lbs right now but in the middle of bulking so I'm retaining a fuck ton of water.

over two years now, going into my third year of following some bizarre routine I made up.
