I’m like 6 months into lifting, how do I make sure this doesn’t happen to me?
>>76676114actually lift in the gym.
>>76676114This guy must be an absolute retard, what a massive waste of time.If he did a cutting phase for 2 months he would look ripped but how the fuck are you 3 years in and still like that lmao.OP:Figure out basal metabolic rate.Eat slightly over basal metabolic rate, serious lean proteins (pork tenderloin is underrated as fuck, otherwise fish and chivken)Try to get protein meal in 45 minutes before workout.Eat protein meal 2 - 3 hours after workout.Keep increasing weights overtime at a healthy rate dont just sit at the same weight forever like this retard.Right before Summer or holidays eat below basal metabolic rate and lift less weight to cut the fat down and show off muscles.Ez
>>76676114Lift. If that pic was genuinely made by the guy in it then he did not, under any sense of the word, lift.
>>76676158man you are such a faggot. eZ.
>>76676114that's peak natty if you're above 6 feet tall.
>>76676114Never drink alcohol, avoid sugar, bulk indefinitely (no powderedslop) and cut to 9-12% once a year while getting plenty of heavy volume in (sets of 3-6)Over masturbation can also hinder your gains
>>76676273Manlets?Here??Better not be
>>76676114he has good arms and trapsi didn't look like that in highschool i played sports
>>76676114Don't get too fat, you want to hover around 13%-15% during bulk-cut cycles, consistently increase resistance and always feel like you put an effort into your workouts.That's it basically.
>>76676114He's doing too much!
>>76677284Mentzer was so retarded holy shit
>>76677299Oh yea? Post body.
>>76676114This retard must have not lifted to failure at all. Also probably Mcdonalds diet.
>>76677284bro just do a pull day every 6 months
>>76676114dont be brown
>>76677402>dont be brow-ACK!!
>>76676158This post hit hard, I should be cutting right?
>>76676114Do shoulder work/upper pecs (DB OHP or incline, liu raises)Do tricep accessories Don't get too fatDone
>>76677451Summer is over bro and you got 2 months before the holdiays
>>76676114>dont drink>dont smoke>no drugs>no sugary foods>no junk food>suck alot of cock>dont forget to lick the balls >cardio everyday>vegetables>vitamin d + zinc>creatine>lots of water everyday>call your mom tell you lover her>believe in god and accept his love>be racist but dont let everyone knowgo get em tiger
>>76677705And he has to stay fat?
>>76676114this guy most likely did the dyel thing and didn't "egolift". At some point it became mainstream that you should never lift a weight if you think you will fail the rep, so all these nerds only did baby weights. Also the whole risk to reward ratio bullshit made it even worse
>>76677853I'm guessing you don't lift. This is typical results natty. He has kind of underdeveloped shoulders. If he lost 15lbs he'd look good. He has a pretty developed chest
>>76677872>I'm guessing you don't lift>he has a good chestnice projection. Either you don't lift or you just started
>>76677284>weak
>>76676273>>76677872I'm natty, I don't even lift regularly anymore- I just don't eat like a pig and I look 10x better than this guy. This is a man that has no self control and eats too much garbage.
>>76677978Let's see this body
>>76676831I'm bulking at 21% bf. Is it over? 5'11 179
>>76677980>>76677997No, it's not over for you.
>>76677997If you like how you look around that bodyfat it's fine-ish.Not going to go into hormonal optimization because if you're new it won't matter that much, but I cannot imagine myself ending my bulk at 25% bf and then having to either cut slowly to something like 12%-15% for 5 months or getting on an aggressive deficit for 3 months and fearing that I will lose muscle.I'd rather have the cut over with before bulking slowly and working within a range that allows me to go back to my initial bf% with a 4-6 week cut.
>>76678050You literally look like OP retard kekOnly thing you have better than him is adonis belt
>>76678050thinking this looks 10x better than the dyellet is crazy, you're one step removed from dyel
>>76678108>>76678106literally said I do not even lift anymore...that's the point, mr big brain. This is what non-lifting, but not eating like shit looks like.
>>76678178start lifting please
>>76677885The natty limit over 3 years is literally what you're seeing in the pic.
>>76678178>I don't even lift regularly anymore>literally said I do not even lift anymorepick one Mr. Big Brain
>>76678186I have two toddlers, my home gym is just a concept2 and 5gal water bottles, and I work 50 hrs a week. I'm stuck doing calisthenics until I can actually get back on a consistent program. Soon. lack of sleep is slowly killing me though.
>>76678205just get a gym membership and go 3 times a week and start sleeping more, you can't live like this, also you are rich af
>>76678215> start sleeping moreI have two toddlers. It will come, but I'm setting aside my personal health for the sake of procreating. My children will be stronger than I ever will be. I married an absolute beast of a woman for this reason. She's of basque descent, she's strong, does olympic lifting, and has a solid frame for building strength.
>>76678259>My childrenOh no no no no no
>>76678259>She's of basque descent>securing pre-Indo European caveman genetics for your bloodlineBased. What's your ancestry anon?
>>76676114>>76676158I bet he won't even post his routine.
>>76677872>>76678190>The natty limit over 3 years is literally what you're seeing in the pic.Proof that /fit/ is filled with dysgenic retards and you should NEVER trust people here when they claim they KNOW this guy is on steroids.
>>76677446This guy's bron
Let's say I start as Twink.How long till I look like I lift as natty if I do everything right?
>>76677299Post body
>>76677872His chest is starting to get developed, if were talking about going from like emaciated absolutely nothing. The big thing he's lacking is everything above the bottom of the chest. His upper chest is non-existent.His shoulders are non-existent.Traps and neck non-existent.The guy needs to hit inclines, military press, chest fly, shoulder exercises, and probably do some pull ups. Also, some cardio and ab workouts couldn't hurt to get rid of the shitty mid section.In general, if this dude was working out 4-5 days a week to get this, he's definitely doing something wrong. I know a lot of people pointed to diet, but I think if his routine was right he'd look way better even with a shit diet.
>>76679896Hopefully you NEVER look like this.Twink mode is difficult because you don't have any experience lifting, so you don't know if you're doing something right or wrong. You don't know how it feels to activate the muscle you're trying to build, and your form will be ass unless you get some help.Taking this into account, if a twink started off with the right lifts, decent form, and decent diet, they'd be looking way better in 1 year. However, if they never used proper form and didn't know which exercises targeted which body group, you could be 5 years in and look like unbalanced ass. Granted, most people give up way before 5 years when they're doing it wrong because anyone who does something for 5 years and is that terrible at it would be a genuine insane person.
>>76677446I keep hearing he actually got married, is that true, chat?
>>76676114He’s eating too many carbs and spinning his wheels in the gym. A proper diet and training program will make you look 10x better
>>76679937This guy gets it - once it clicks for you, it’s really about making sure your muscles can recover, and you maybe only workout a couple of times a week. And in 6 months you’re looking great, because you’re not killing yourself overdoing it.The occasional “all out” day at the gym is fine, but every workout or more than once very couple of weeks and you’re really pushing it. Unless you’re on drugs, then just do whatever because your body will have insane recovery.
>>76676114By overloading progressively
>>76679934This is what happened to me, I've been in and out of the gym for years and it's only now that I start to understand why I couldn't get past a 2pl8 deadlift. I just assumed the hamstrings and lower back would activate later on, when in fact, I had shit form all along. Now I'm relearning.
>>76679896I think you can have some big changes in 1 year. Do 4-6 weeks of prep work. then an LP strength program + t shirt muscle isolations for however long.. Then a bodybuilding program when LP runs out. Train hard!!!! This doesn't mean going to failure each and every time. but you gotta have that dawg in you, you gotta be amped. put 100% into each rep and the sets will look after themselves. Keep calories up. You must avoid stretches of just not eating enough. You will get fatter, but don't get FAT. If you can't make out your abs when you flex, it's start to think about reducing kcal intake and volume accordingly.
