Natty lifting is a joke

Bro stop fucking asking lifting questions on TRP. No one here is an expert.

Go to an expert like Mike Israetel, or any fucking professional natural BB if you are curious. You have posted like 4 lifting and diet related questions here. You aren't going to get actionable advice.

Hell even go to the 7 subreddits dedicated to lifting.

Yo fr I got bored with being natty after 3 weeks, so I did some shit called nandrolone without test because the guy said I didn’t need it... And now my dick don’t work.

KingGerbz · 2020-12-08T19:50:13+00:00

5’8” 200 pounds, 22 y/o. Only supplement I’ve ever taken is creatine

Bench: 335lbs
Squat: 495 lbs
Deadlift: 525 lbs

I don’t even consider myself anything special, just an above average lifter. I have other Natty friends who are putting up bigger numbers granted they’re bigger guys.

Stop bitching and looking for excuses. This applies to everything in life

if you can't put on weight, you're not eating enough

eat 5000 calories a day, and see what happens

sasakuowo · 2020-12-08T17:45:08+00:00

If you really are peak natty (you’re not) then hop on a cycle of test

SweatyAdvance · 2020-12-08T18:04:45+00:00

3 years? Bruh....calm down. You've A LOT of work to do before you should even think about juicing

linkofinsanity19 · 2020-12-08T20:39:26+00:00

Educate yourself because you're probably doing a lot of shit wrong. Renaissance Periodization. Greg Knuckols. Omar Isuf. Jeff Nippard. These are some places with quality info, better than you will get on here because of the scope of the topic. I went my first 2.5 years with only 6 months progress before I learned enough to actually get results past the beginner phase and not once did I feel like steroids were the only way. I've got shit muscle building genetics and was a meth baby to boot and yet I still train and have actually gotten into top 10, maybe top 5% physique for a natural, much better than you probably think is even possible if you're ready to jump on that train so quickly. Complain somewhere else or put in the work and time to improve.

Read about nutrition and programming for yourself, watch video lectures as well as exercise tutorials to make sure your doing things well. T Nation and Bodybuilding.com are flooded with BS articles that are less than shit with maybe a decent crumb here and there.

How many times a day do you eat, how many calories?

dark_rabbit · 2020-12-08T18:44:12+00:00

Have you tried the GOMAD diet? Gallon of milk a day. Utterly insane but it helped me break through my metabolism wall. You're not meant to do it longterm, but if yo do it for a month it helps you ingest the number of calories that you normally wouldn't be able to because its much easier to drink a gallon of milk than it is to ingest that equivalent food.

Koko175 · 2020-12-08T18:17:23+00:00

No stats or pics how are we supposed to know?

What’s your height, weight, current lifts and routine? How many calories are you eating? How often do you workout? What’s your goals? You gave us no details

Dogeayy · 2020-12-08T19:32:39+00:00

Get leaner

ReverseUI · 2020-12-08T19:46:44+00:00

Change up training. do slowers reps , lighter weight. Heavy weight , low reps. use Different and new exercises from strongman or other fitness movements to develop muscles you didn't think you had. Stones, tire flips, sleds etc. Anyways once you have more power, you can return to building muscle, you'll gain more muscle if you have more power. Gl

You have a lot of work to do yet and lots to learn. I'm 43 and have been lifting off and on since I was 13. I'm still learning. Jeff Cavalier has a great YouTube channel and I've learned tons. What's worked best for me is efficiency in my workouts. About 45 minutes each session, 4-5 days a week. Getting enough sleep, not drinking alcoholic beverages, and paying attention to my diet. Proper form with as much weight as you can handle. At this point in my life staying injury free is my goal. I could and can out lift guys half my age but there's no point. Strength = muscle mass. That being said when I was younger I wanted to be huge and strong, but never considered steroids. At my age now, it was the best choice because I don't have to deal with the wear and tear on my body.

A little side story, there's a local guy my age that's friends on social media. I ran into him last year. He said he had a lot of respect for me and my two gym buddies. He said we all made great physiques and could tell none of us were on anything. Then said he was really into lifting and got on steroids. He regrets doing it.

Make your own choice, you're free to do so, but realize there's other alternatives to get great results.

Coppal · 2020-12-09T00:57:23+00:00

What % BF are you? You'd be surprised how leaning out can make a huge difference.

strawsoaker775 · 2020-12-09T01:22:50+00:00

You sound like someone who doesn't even have a standard method to measure his improvements and is bitching about not getting more results. Go back to study.

kclanton80 · 2020-12-09T04:14:06+00:00

Change it up..rest more....rest less.....experiment with what your body needs adjust rep ranges, high reps gets muscle growth 12-16 reps plus. Most guys can't build muscle because they are doing that 5 rep shit, trying to get strong...there is a time and place for that but strength does not equal muscle hypertrophy and growth.

Focus only on a few key movements per workout. Keep at it. Im 20 years in lifting and still learning.

goblinboglin · 2020-12-09T20:09:03+00:00

Stop being a bitch and pin your ass. Worth it

clickherebaby · 2020-12-08T19:34:52+00:00

To put it simply, you have bad genetics. Maybe you dont look bad, but your body sucks at growing muscle. Arnold Schwarzenegger didnt have god like genes. He had a god like response to steroids.

The ones telling you to stop being a bitch have and have always had it easy. That's a fact and ill leave it at that.

Trpthrowaway0719 · 2020-12-08T17:43:52+00:00

Start a test cycle.

RightNowImReady · 2020-12-08T17:54:35+00:00

Natty lifting is a joke if you have bad genetics for building muscle, trust me I know.

If you're 15-18 and have very high natty test/GH(IGF-1) levels then it's a pleasure and 18+ with good genetics is also rewarding.

Jdamoftruth · 2020-12-08T18:11:59+00:00

Been doing this shit for 3 years and it’s getting old.

You aren't training hard or eating right. My bench went from 225 at age 14 to 385 at age 17. Stop being a pussy.

Anyone else feel this way?

Fuck no.

Cant put on weight anymore etc

That's on you bud.

BlondeHornyElf · 2020-12-08T17:42:47+00:00

3 years and you didn't make any gains?

pyth0ns · 2020-12-08T19:16:55+00:00

Here’s a different approach.

Growing up... did you watch stuff like DBZ or other Anime where the characters are rocking 24inch arms but only weigh 65kg?

If so... Work on yourself to get that image out of your head that Broly level stats are what you should look like.

Even if juicing... it’ll still take genetics, crazy diet and discipline and etc. To achieve a look like that.
