I would customize that 100% of all the people on Facebook Instagram TikTok and YouTube are on steroids, or a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153natural\u00e2\u20ac\u009d form of steroids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, \u00ef\u00bf\u00bcit seems that their methods are very very strange and bizarre and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make any sense because once again, they obfuscate the fact that they are on steroids!\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a lot of bodybuilders have certain strange theories on how they build muscle and whatever, but the biggest issue the biggest issue here is that their methods theories and techniques have no veracity if once again, they are on steroids!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So for example, you could probably eat super super dirty, and poorly, and yet still get spectacular gains because you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re on steroids! So I suppose the question is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How much of your technique theories and approach is legitimate, and how much of it is steroids?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even trust protein powder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a theory that protein powder just makes you fat. Assuming that protein powder is just powder cows milk, even this 100% whey protein powder whatever, essentially it is a money making scam. I have been able to make insane gains, fasting all day, simply having 100% carnivore meal in the evening, trying to aim for about 4 to 5 pounds of beef. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll enjoy ground beef, 80%, or beef ribs, beef liver, beef heart, ribeye steaks and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly, \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc i\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure protein powder is fine, but still\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I think the biggest issue in bodybuilding is this constant sense of FOMO; like I remember when I was younger, I would almost had this anxiety that immediately 15 or 30 minutes after working out if I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t eat protein powder, if I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a 100% way protein shake, or protein powder, I would somehow \u00e2\u20ac\u0153lose \u00e2\u20ac\u0153 my gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Measurements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another real big problem here is this obsession to measure yourself to weigh yourself etc. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never really taped measured my muscles or whatever I feel this is ridiculous, but certainly a lot of guys overly obsessed about his weight. Like guys are always trying to gain weight. Not lose weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the reason why this is so ridiculous is that the scale doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know if the weight is fat or muscle. Only you could know by just looking in the mirror, naked, if you could see your six pack and penis arrow, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in good territory. And this is what a lot of guys don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t understand; everyone is trying to become super super big and massive like the Incredible Hulk or they want to look like an orc, but, this is not sexy and attractive to women. They would prefer a more Brad Pitt fight club, ERIC KIM, Adonis physique. In Elsa pose this is the thing I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t understand; <em>for male bodybuilders, how much of it is to impress women versus other men?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc Assuming you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re trying to stunt on other men, this is also a bit ridiculous because just because you have bigger muscles doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean that you would be more dominant in a fist fight. And it also doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really measure your courage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc If anything, what is actually much more impressive if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re trying to stunt on other guys, is to just get into powerlifting or hypelifting or strongman style exercises; <strong>he who can lift the most weight, has the biggest dick<\/strong>. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big dick KIM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until you could successfully lift 1000 pounds, you got nothing on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">this myth of multiple small meals throughout a day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also pseudo scientific; I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve proved that you could lift 1000 pounds, while fasting, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been doing this for about seven years; no breakfast no lunch, only old massive 100% carnivore dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m the only weightlifter and bodybuilder that I know and also power lifter and hype lifter who literally eats no starches no carbs etc. The notion that you need carbs to build muscle is another silly fallacy. I think the only reason why people don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t experiment with this simple thought, is once again, this fear of missing out on the gains. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, The secret that literally everyone is on steroids, even the natural ones.
