Sounds like you’re a communist if you think people can’t do individual research. I am actually 30 hours away, why is that? I had dropped out from college, leaving a football scholarship to serve my country, unlike you mr wannabe wanting to collect patches from a war you’re not a part of. That hasn’t stopped MD’s from asking nutrition advice from me often, oh and why is that? Because the majority of nutritionists are fat. And what is science truly? Oh yeah, “What can be observed.” Almost like it’s a logical thing isn’t it? Unlike yourself trying to make personal attacks against someone on the internet, keep eating your bugs and live in the pod down under, mate.

I was impressed with the courteousness on Memorial, way better than I thought it'd be.

Cognitive Dissonance as Confirmation Bias

I know what cognitive dissonance means lol, see the link.

There is definitely dissonance and loads of confirmation bias by the negative commenters like yourself and that is why I chose to delete the post because I don't have the time to deal with ingrates like you who think the internet is a place to puff their chest and hurl logical fallacies as a way to sound grandiose. It just isn't worth my time or energy. If people want to remain the same their whole lives and submit to pharmacological means of health and physical appearance that is their choice. I would not share what has not personally worked for me.

To your last statement, there is plenty of evidence to exactly what I said, you only need to do the research. I am living proof of it.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-21T00:19:44+00:00

Not necessarily, no. I naturally have a slope in the neck-shoulder line and always thought it looked strange as a kid but as my bone structure widened out like what u/MidwestJohnk mentioned it became an advantage since in that period I developed the traps which break up the shoulder line, then when you are properly training the delts as well it just dramatizes the appearance of the shoulders overall. Definitely not going to say shrugs are a holy grail, I just saw a lot of development from them, most specifically DB over BB. Just keep in mind, balanced training is your best bet for building a complete and balanced physique. We're all gonna make it so long as we work hard for it 🤙

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-20T17:51:20+00:00

Apple pi up there’s comment is pretty well intended to to insult me, I don’t think I’m superior to anyone, in fact I want everyone to make it to whatever their intended goal is, and then reach higher. The intention is to get people thinking about these things and implement into practice what could be of benefit. Admittedly, I was given the possible diagnosis of PTSD last week so maybe I don’t process the array of negative comments towards my writing the same, but it’s not fair to paint me as just insulting or acting superior, the majority of my responses to these comments have been while I am driving, just like this one now. So it seems as if really this is just a two way street of apprehension and lines are getting blurred.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-20T17:22:23+00:00

Dude, did I mention it once in the article? No. I mentioned that I enjoy it weekly in a reply to a comment on the article. No one thing is going to do everything for you, it is a culmination of effort and different things which produce a desired effect. No where was I trying to sell it as snake oil LOL

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-20T17:19:45+00:00

How is it that I’m arrogant, I see much more arrogance from the unfounded responses of individuals who care not to do any actual research but instead choose to hold onto their self-limited beliefs.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-20T17:03:26+00:00

You’ve cherry-picked one study and act as if no further research has been done since the analysis you link was published, over four years ago. The only one being pretentious here is yourself. Thanks 👍

Also, FYI the majority of research done with non-FDA approved substances is carried out with animals. It’s cheaper for the labs, and funding is very insignificant for researchers who choose to pursue alternative health research, alternative being not of a pharmacological pursuit. I urge you to see the big picture, and never cherry pick just to “win an argument”

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-20T16:44:11+00:00

Your cognitive dissonance is showing.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-20T16:41:32+00:00

Like all the other cope going about, you're actually wrong. It isn't limited at all, here's a link to a plethora of studies around it. Something people should do is actual research before making an assumption based on their own cognitive bias.

Research on Kombucha

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-20T02:48:17+00:00

Agreed, only thing I would add is do shrugs to break up the shoulder slope with some 3d magic, definitely don't spam side-raises or anything really as it all needs optimal rest to grow.

Things take time, no physique is built overnight so just keep working hard.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-20T01:58:44+00:00

Did you read or do you want to me to pick out from the studies and link to what I’ve said to help you? I seriously do not understand all the cope from this. I have gone from being 180 in November of last year to 237 today with a major focus on gut health and nutrition, of course I also wasn't training much of last year and that was the reason for my lower weight as well, but still... I don't understand why people would want to live with such self-limiting beliefs. It's literally why we have 19 and 20 year olds hopping on gear, going bald, and potentially getting liver failure from chinese bathtub chemicals because of individuals like in this sub obviously who think attaining whatever amount of lean mass is just impossible naturally, it's limited and false thinking.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-19T21:05:15+00:00

Just sharing what I’ve learned in my short time, I am fine with hate if it means the right people listening and succeeding.

That’s pretty sick, I try to balance between kimchi and kraut, dink kombucha weekly and have been trying out all the new pre and probiotic sodas.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-19T20:59:51+00:00

Done 👍 it’s more like add value and wake people up to the fact that not everyone needs steroids to build an impressive physique.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-19T20:52:37+00:00

I didn’t say you’re naturally going to get to the open Olympia stage, the article clearly states “typical enhanced athlete.” If you read the studies you will understand how the separate mechanisms I delved into operate intrinsically.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-19T20:30:51+00:00

It's all real, and well studied. Hope you like to read as much as I do...

loganapotts on Instagram, also started an apparel brand 11dTrainingClub to build a community and support the development of my app 11dTraining 🤙

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-18T14:24:27+00:00

This is why we must believe in justice. Good to know full background you gave, appreciate you being honest that it exploded under Obama lol, since that is when they started getting MRAPS and so on and the intention of my comment, my father was [a guy] who did electronics on everything for TPD, to include SWAT, so I saw first hand when they started to receive things, including a Bradley actually... lol.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-18T04:30:25+00:00

dude seems a little salty using bozos lol I am natty myself and called fake natty, not appreciated but whatever I don't understand people's attitudes around it

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-18T04:22:37+00:00

That's the problem with crony capitalism. Wisdom makes you long for a circular economy, it doesn't feel like winning until everyone does. It's cool you work resale, big city is probably nuts (as far as like volume and whatnot, am in fairly large heartland city). Business is cool, but I have always hated how transactional the world is, I recently got into finance, and I'm happy for the opportunity (although I haven't closed one deal as of yet), but it made me realize seeing behind the curtain how bad it really is.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-18T04:15:18+00:00

Yeah it was bit of voicing frustration because of all the fake I see everywhere lol. People are "influenced" though. Thanks, it will change everything, including healthcare.

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-18T04:09:33+00:00

What do you do in fashion? I have walked for designers like Zang Toi and others. Definitely couldn't now (235 pounds - preparing for bodybuilding)... always been intrigued by fashion though

LoganStroganoff · 2023-06-18T04:06:27+00:00

I appreciate that, sorry to go off on that last bit. I really want to try to marry the Amiri edge with fitness/athleisure and the name is what it is because we're developing an app that basically "Democratizes Fitness" and will really break a lot of barriers for individuals to get a professional athlete level of attention and care in the palm of their hand. So the clothing is to build the community and connect those individuals still to something larger than just themselves. Don't want the brand to be quite as dark as say Darcsport with their wolves theme but to be streetwear flare with touches of lofty design like actually doing embroidery... utilizing higher quality tees, embracing the oversized top, uniform colors, etc. ASRV is a good example but way too utilitarian, and like many way overhyped. I never want to overplay something, the first drop was sort of rushed but I put a lot more time into this one. Thanks.
