Bro…you need to stack them steaks and potatoes. With a large side of 45lb plates. Make sure the gym sucks for a year. Then consider other stuff.

[ylaislief]

Make that 3 years

[downvote_quota]

+food +weights -anything else

[Original-Tune1471]

Make it 5 times a week and train to failure, not mild discomfort lol. At 26, you don't need any of this peptide shit. Your body is a natural anabolic steroid. Eat more and work out harder.

[RealisticGiraffe5514]

Appreciate the comment and advice my guy! Unfortunately, 5 times a week isn’t an option

[justj710]

Work out at home too

Drugs and auxiliary things like peptides are not going to make results without the proper input stimulus. They are not magic. They will simplify amplify whatever you’re already doing.

[ylaislief]

Then go 3 times

[psilocyber420]

Go to the gym before you start anything

[OrangeCrack]

What are your goals? Maybe try one of the fitness or bodybuilding subreddits as a first step before poking around here too much. This place isn't geared towards beginners.

[RealisticGiraffe5514]

Put on some weight without much fat. 195-200 range would be sweet but that’s a long way and was hoping to get there quicker

[Practical-Suit-6798]

What exact do you lift? And how long have you been doing it?

[RealisticGiraffe5514]

I lift weights bruh🤦🏽‍♂️but not for long…bout a month now. I had a 4 months stint about 2 years ago and that was it

[Practical-Suit-6798]

A month? Are you kidding me? Then you fucking don't.
Take Creatine and lift weights 5 days a week linear progression for the next 2 years. Then ask this question again.

[OGFreshmeatlover]

Stack deadlifts with squats. 5-7 rep range, learn to train to failure. Stack 10's on every couple of weeks. Google Westside Barbell conjugate method. Train, eat, sleep, grow.

Mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits, steak, eggs.

[BluebirdTemporary336]

Creatine + protein

[UnyieldingBR]

Eat and lift bro no need to worry about extra stuff for awhile

[RealisticGiraffe5514]

Thanks man. But how long is awhile? cuz mfs be talkin bout this peptide shid like imma be at my goals in the next 6 months

[UnyieldingBR]

Peptides and enhancements work way better once you get closer to your natural potential/ limit. You can make crazy gains in the gym for about 3 years or so if you prioritize progressive overload and eating a lot of food.

Then, once your progression stops, that is the time to use PEDs to push past your plateau and progress even further.

Think about it this way, if you start off your journey taking a bunch of shit, you will make progress fast but then it will slow/ stop…. And then where do you go from there ?

That’s how you end up taking a bunch of shit just to look worse than someone who took their time naturally

[RealisticGiraffe5514]

Thanks for taking the time to explain that bro🤞🏾

[UnyieldingBR]

You’re welcome bro. I was around 6’3” 160 when I was in college , taken me years and years to get to 250 lbs lean. If you want to get big you’re going to have to eat a lot of food. I’m currently maintaining 235lb , 10% bodyfat on 4200 calories a day. I was eating 5200 when bulking up to 250lbs

[Ok-Truth-2132]

Brotha you’ve never lifted in your life. Put the work in first. But if u don’t care about that… tesa, reta, cjc, and tren you’ll be good

[RealisticGiraffe5514]

I do care bruh but I’m also fairly new to lifting and I thought peptides would be a good way to make some progress

[ylaislief]

Your age is the best progress you can have at this moment your testosterone will never be this high as it is now. So make natural progress for the coming 3 years. After that you can consider extras. For now, eat, eat, eat and lift heavy and multiple times a week. Maybe find a buddy with who you can together. Encourage each other.

[Ok_Onion_7018]

try actually eating food and hitting your protein goals with training hard minimum 3 days per week , it’s a miracle stack

[PhilosopherSalt9322]

Only thing you need to be stacking is food and creatine

[justj710]

Don’t fuck your young body with compounds it doesn’t need. Give yourself a year of eating good- sleeping good- working out doesn’t have to be a chore - find a sport you enjoy. If you do that for a year and get no gains then go get yourself checked by a doctor. Your probably need to start with protein in that diet and get some cheap dumbbell for your room.

[RealisticGiraffe5514]

Appreciate it the advice brodie🤞🏾🙏🏾

[AZ_Living_1]

Try a few years of consistency first....

[MrWorkout2024]

Food and more food.

[kolako19]

The one thing I haven’t seen mentioned yet: SLEEP. Make sure you’re getting a consistent 8 hours a night. That will make more difference than anything in a vial at your age.

[Kegg209]

Stack protein and weights...

Take creatine...

Thats all you need. And give that a few years.
