  • I find this entire situation to be hilarious. Anabolic usage certainly is climbing and many transformations that you see are indeed assisted. But not ALL are, and it seems many "physique detectives" on reddit actually have no idea what the fuck they are talking about, and have standards that can actually be far surpassed without taking anything.
    Do better, reddit! You can achieve a LOT naturally!

      Except he didn't use his book. He even mentions not having any specific workout routine or protocol other than push/pull. He is very vague about his workout too, probably because people will figure out how ineffective it is and realize the only way it would've worked was on enhancers. On top of not actually gaining that much muscle one 2.5 years, since he took the entire first year barely eating and cutting. So he gained that much mass in 1.5 years of mediocre training with gyms closing down more than once. But yeah, for sure natty right?

    Reddit is such a sad, whiny place.
    A few weeks ago I was arguing with a girl about the efficiency of cutting calories to lose weight. She kept saying how it's not feasible for the *majority* of people to lose weight that way because of illnesses, work schedule and metabolism.
    No matter what I said she just kept repeating that i was mansplaining and privileged.
    She, at some point, brought the example of her friend who was anorexic and couldn't lose weight while cutting. Or she said that her maintenance is 1300 calories so anything less than that would mean she wouldn't get enough nutrients. I suggested she exercised and she again brought up work schedule, kids etc.

It doesn't take any great effort to hide a bottle of SARMs. Not saying the guy's enhanced, not saying he isn't. Personally, I couldn't care less.

      How much weight have you gained? "perfect lean bulking diet" sounds like potentially undereating.

Perhaps stress? Definitely an unusual case.

    During covid I atrophied from 149 to 132 lbs (5'9") as I stopped going to the gym and focused on keeping myself afloat financially.
    Going back to the gym (5-6 days each week), I regained that lost muscle-mass pretty quickly before plateauing at 150 for a while. I then shifted towards actually increasing my calorie intake too, since I struggled to even reach 2,000 calories/day and started making gains again (newbie gains 2.0?). Am now standing at about 168-171 lbs, four days shy of the 1-year mark. My body fat has increased by a few percentage points, but I wouldn't want to post about my gains publicly to forums like reddit or my personal social media because I realize gaining nearly 40 lbs in a year isn't normal and I'd want to save face from those accusations, even if about 20 of it was formerly-had mass. It is definitely possible to gain lots of muscle under the right conditions.

    I started working out at the age of 14 and even tho I was training hard, and eventually implemented proper routine and nutrition... any progress was very hard and slow to come. Ever since I was a complete novice.
    Then I turned twenty and a lot of things changed. I believe it was cause my body had finally (mostly) matured then. Putting on muscle became extremely easy compared to before. For over two years i could set PRs each workout, and it actually seemed like I was experiencing "noobie gainz" for the first time ever.
    I did not change my training and nutrition in any significant way during that time period. My body was just different cause it had gone through puberty.
    So this transformation seems reasonable to me now. However, I would have been extremely suspicious if i had seen it while i was a teen.

    When I started training in the 1970s none of us were on PEDs. Everyone who worked hard made noticeable progress measured in months, not just years. This guy is also young and making newbie gains. Recently I bulked from 185 to 198, and cut to 176. Getting back up to 185 leaner and stronger than before bulking took 7 weeks. That’s at 64 years old.
    Redditors are REALLY accusing this man of being young, disciplined, intelligent, and combining newbie gains with rebuilt muscle re-gains. They may be phrasing it as “fake nattie” because they sub-consciously want themselves to be perceived as lazy, stupid and whiny so they can fit in with their own crowd.

As if people just laugh or politely agree when they get falsely accused. These people are so pathetic. I am 5'9.5" at 163-167 lbs at 8-10% bf year round at 42. I've been the same weight for 20 years. I built 20lbs the first year, 10 the second year and 5 more over the last 18 years. I got as lean as I am by losing almost all the muscle in my late 30's by starving which also leaned me out getting me down to a dangerous 5% at 143 lbs. I got back into lifting two years ago and because of muscle memory I was able to get it all back in 6 months without having to bulk. I barely had to eat at maintenance. So this is why I am so lean. Not because of gear. You don't get to be my age looking like me for as long as I have by doing steroids. I have never had acne or bance, never sweat during workouts unless it's hot out. I have all my hair even though it has been gradually thinning since late 20's. I have high testosterone and high sperm count. I have a strong labido and perfect health. That's because I did this naturally not in spite of it. I've always had capped delts and veins popping out if my arms and shoulders. Its mostly genetics combined with proper training and diet and sleep over a long period of time. This is not easy but its possible. Only losers who need to cope would think that this guy or me for that matter are not natural.

      I wouldn't be that hard on yourself, you weren't lifting during the cut. Luckily it sounds like you have got a lot of beginner gains ready to happen. Just go slightly above your maintenance calories (200?) for some reasonable lean bulking and consistently train hard with a linear progression type program. You should see some gains fairly quickly if you're doing it right. Once you're in the low 20s BF you can do another cut and then repeat the lean bulk. :)

      Hang in there and keep working, you've got a good start. At 235 he may well have been physically active and had decent or even good muscle mass from playing sports while carrying excessive weight. Post cut, that muscle would be rebuilt faster than any new muscle would be built. You might get some pretty decent gains if being consistent with training diet and nutrition also helps you rebuild the muscle you did have when heavier. You may get muscle back in your lower body since it was carrying your weight in daily activities the whole time before your cut. So if you want to keep your spirits up by noticing progress, make sure you nail your leg and hip girdle training. Forward!
