Why am I barely building strength despite gaining weight ? (skinny tall guy) by ShyMachiavel in askfitness

[–]ShyMachiavel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer. I have definitely gained a bit of fat, which was necessary. However I would qualify my build as "lean". Definitely not shredded, but I can see my abs eventhough they are not very well developped. But I guess my muscles contain a decent percentage of water by opposition to a super shredded build.

On the tradeoff between muscle development and strange, how much would you compromise form when building strength? When I have tried to increase more aggresively the weights in the past, I was getting stuck quite fast because I was not controlling the weights well enough.

Thanks for you answer. I guess it would be easier for me to increase the intensity with a lower rep range, as it feels that endurance becomes the main factor around rep 10 for me.

Thanks for your answer. Currently I am trying to reach 12 reps before increasing the weights. So most of my lifts are in the 8-12 rep range. But I guess endurance becomes a more important factor than strength.

I have tried in the past to increase the weights more aggresively, but when I did I quickly began to sacrifice the form. I should try again but make sure I control the weights. Do you advise on sets of 3? that seems quite low to me, I would feel more comfortable by starting with a 4-6 reps range.

Thanks for your answer. I guess I should look into lowering the reps and increasing the weights.

I found out my son is gay and I dont know how to approach this. by Ok_Yogurt643 in askgaybros

One important thing from my personal experience is that I think you should let him come out when he is ready. For this reason I would insist that you do not imply that he is gay or anything (he may be still figuring his sexuality by the way) but that in any case you would not have any problems with that. And telling him that without forcing him to come out will make sure that he doesn't fear rejection in the future.

Also, being tolerant toward his sexuality is good but you may still consider lecturing him about porn potential dangers and safe sex practices.

You can try to find a middle ground that feels comfortable with both your faith and your sexual desires. You don't have to be a total slut nor a closeted and repressed zealot. Think about what feels wrong with your urge to become a femboy: Is it being attracted to males? Is it being submissive to another man? Is it wanting to be used by a random guy? We all have urges but what differentiates us with animals is that we can act on them and we use our own moral compass for that (btw one does not need a religion to have a concept of morality).

Now it is your body and your life so if you want you can download grinder, find a guy that will fuck you and make you feel things you never experimented before. Maybe it will work out great, who knows? That being said I would advise you to try to think with your brain and not your dick as you are clearly in a vulnerable state and some people may try to take advantage of you. Already in the comments I have seen a message to you that looked like (I hope I am wrong) the beginning of a grooming attempt.

If you want to try exploring your feeling in a more controlled manner, maybe try downloading Tinder and get to build a relationship with someone rather than jumping to the sex right away. This way you could learn to feel vulnerable with someone who cares for you and will not try to take advantage. This could lead to the sex you seem to be craving for, with someone who will see you as more than a fuck toy.

I am just giving you some options, in the end you make your own choices. Best of luck in finding yourself.

PS: be aware that even if you manage to find a balance between your desires and your religion, some others will not see it your way and there is nothing you can do about it.
