how did he gigabuff his shoulders so much that his waist look super small now?
Caption says 4 year transformation so most likely natty
He is leaner now and therefore looks bigger in camera, Irl he would look athletic/fit in shirts rather than "big", He also could have gotten a pump in the video to look better
he looks ethnic so hard to believe natty cause they usually have shit genes
Nga what
not with his orbitals jfl
explain how to get shoulders natty?
A large genetic component if I am being honest, I know a guy 1 year training and his delts insert long with wide clavicles they are quite developed and just look aesthetic despite relatively lower mass.
is a machine press also fine instead of a barbell or dumbell?
thanks btw
This is personal opinion but I would always prioritize a free weight movement over a machine. Machine presses usually in one plane of motion and it takes out all of the stabiliser muscles involved in keeping a good bar path and movement pattern. I reckon for a short time-span you'd see similar gains but over a long enough time you would start to see some imbalances or weaknesses the machine press covers for. You can do both but I wouldn't substitute it.
No problem. I think if I am understanding you are a beginner. I know from a learning standpoint the machines are probably smoother to start with and understand. But imo it is worth learning and building up the free weight movements it will make you stronger and more athletic in the long run
since you are a gymcel, I have a question, I have some muscle, but my main problem is my belly fat, theres no fat ANYWHERE else but belly and it only protrudes forwards not in any other dimension, and yes it's a little amount especially after waking up not fed but as I eat I become super bloated and it becomes really obvious.
didnt know that about the long term part
not a beginner per se but still over thinking the optimal exercises for shoulder
Where your fat is distributed is by and large genetic. I have a similar problem mostly storing fat around my midsection and hips when I bulk up too much, truth be told the only long term solution to that would be getting liposuction there’s a user here who had stubborn fat in the region and had very good success.
weight I don't know, Last time I checked was before I was gymceling and it said 135Pounds 5'10, but I think I've gained quite a bit of muscle so I could be maybe 140-145 at 5'10? but I'm overall skinny
Age?
age 17 yea, but the fat in stomach is the main killer of IGF1 and Testosterone, I'm trying to get my hands on aromasin though.
Cardio wasting muscle is a meme that only happens if you are an excessive distance runner and aren't eating enough protein+ calories. And at age 17 yea you need an AI to do the trick of preventing growth plate closure around a 40-50% reducing in E2 levels if I remember correctly for that which is not doable by fat loss alone.
How much calories should I aim for on cardio? also is cycling cardio better than running on treadmil?
Cycling is easier on the joints but either is good, whatever allows you to maintain a pace where keeping breath is doable but difficult is ideal. 30 or so minutes would be around 180-250 cals at your weight depending on pace.
thank you so much bhai
btw what's your stats? height weight bodyfat%
178.5 cm weight is 81 kgs I believe thats close to 180lbs. Bodyfat is a hard estimate maybe like 17-18%thank you so much bhai
have you posted your physique before? also how do you shouldermaxx? like how to get 3D delts I'm currently trying to do cable lat raises that's propobly the best one right?
Don’t have many pics but I’ll post this here and delete soon.
thanks for the advice btw Impressive physique bro
damn shoulders and arms look big, do you use creatine or protein powder?
Thanks man no problem. Creatine no, it become very expensive in my country around lockdown I remember my senior year in highschool they were $13 for a 500 gram tub now that shit is $40 I just don't buy it because of price cant be fucked paying that much nothing wrong with it though I reckon its a little overrated but just my opinion. Yes I take protein powder 1xa day sometimes 2x, the brand hardly matters, whey concentrate will do no need for pricey crap.thanks for the advice btw Impressive physique bro
Protein Power is quite pricey for me too, like 60$ if you want cheapest one, also hitting my bodyweight protein is kinda hard for me because I don't have time to cook chicken all the time at home, I normally just eat eggs maybe 5 in the morning with bacon, maybe chicken and veggies on lunch and maybe some meat dumplings or goyslop like mcdonalds 2 mcdouble's with bacon for evening ( not accounting for fruits )
140g is quite a lot. Most data converges that going over 1.6g/kg of protein is unnecessary for you thats about 105 grams. Consider buying online in bulk or just stocking up when they are on sale.
yeah but how do people even hit their daily protein without protein powder? not to mention the fact that apparently your body can't absorb more than 40g per sitting which makes it even harder
Just puberty and angle/lighting fraud. I’ve seen guys from my school do the same, look like Laid online but irl 0 muscle twinks
An outdated myth not based on any kind of data I believe people mostly site 30 grams as the upper limit but its not based on anything. Luc Van Loon is probably the most prominent researcher in dietary protein in academics right now and his recent study found that even at intakes >100g in one sitting yielded anabolic response, a dose response relationship and did not show an upper limit or plateau.
He looks european white not necessarily ethnic
his orbitals beg to differ jfl
