I'll keep it short for u low attention span goldfishes, anyways here is EVERYTHING I know summarized and made into a guide.
Oh btw, here is my 1y NATURAL transformation just so you know I know how this shit works (16-17):
This is before at 16 
Exactly one year and one week apart, me now at 17, here are more pictures for further proof of my current status.
Again, I did this COMPLETELY NATURAL so my testosterone is still rising and I am not even close to my full potential.
Also if I took roids my shoulders and traps would be massive bc they have the most androgen receptors, but look at my traps
Here is how I did it:
1. The Training
PEDs & Supplements:
Hope this helps! Didn't get too detailed so some u might have some questions, go ahead and ask!

Here is how I did it:
1. The Training
- Progressive Overload (PO): This is non-negotiable. Ur muscles adapt to stress. If u are still curling the same weight you were last month, ur cooked. Incrementally increase weight, reps, or sets over time. Try to do this for EVERY workout . Also keep ur form when doing these exercises u don't wanna ego lift and lose a ton of gains when you get injured.
- Volume: You need enough stimulus to trigger hypertrophy (muscle growth). Aim for a weekly volume that’s challenging but recoverable. We’re talking 10-20 sets per muscle group per week for optimal gains. Adjust based on recovery and personal goals. (Like for me I am working on shoulders a lot rn so I do 15 sets per week but for example for calves I do 3).
- Frequency: Don’t be afraid to hit each muscle group multiple times per week. Studies show increased muscle protein synthesis and growth with higher frequency training. Split it however u want, as long as ur recovery is on point and ur not doing a bs split. (I recommen upper/loweror PPL for beginners, NOT A BRO SPLIT PLEASE it's so shit
)
- Fatigue: To keep the workouts in an optimal fatigue to stimulus ratio, do your sets with 4-6 reps with 1-0 RIR (reps in reserve). (If u can't do 4 reps decrease weight, if u do more than 6 increase weight slightly, micro PO is op)
- Focus on MECHANICAL TENSION: None of that cope bullshit with time under tension or whatever, just focus on what I mentioned before. Mechanical tension is the main driver of hypertrophy
- Protein: The building blocks of muscle. Aim for 0.8-1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight (1.6-2.2g/kg for normal people
). Prioritize high-quality protein sources like meat, eggs, and whey. Don’t be a soycel or drink that soylent shit
. Also if ur vegan just give up, the vegan proteins are bs and have almost no leucine so just stop reading and either become normal or keep being small.
- Calories: You should probably do a caloric surplus to build muscle. Start with a surplus of 250-500 calories per day and adjust based on ur progress. Track ur macros. It’s annoying but it helped me a lot. DO NOT bulk if u are more than 18% bf, just maingain.
- The rest: Just eat a balanced diet, no excessive fast foods etc. it's not that complicated.
- 7-9 Hours: Aim for at least 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Sleep is incredibly op, this is when your body repairs and rebuilds muscle tissue. Melatonin is your friend.
PEDs & Supplements:
- Creatine: I don't even need to explain this.. No proven bad side effects and just more gains + proven to help with cognitive functions.
- Protein Powder: Good if you stroggle to hit the daily, not necessary
- Others: Unnecessary/Minimal effect
- Roids: I know a LOT about this and I see so so SO MUCH bullshit and misinformation abt this on this site it genuinely hurts me
. (Even though im natty I informed myself bc I might take them later on) so if this gets bumped high enough I will make a post about it.
Hope this helps! Didn't get too detailed so some u might have some questions, go ahead and ask!
