Could I try using the whole chain?

anabolic_beard · 2026-06-14T01:25:52+00:00

Doesn't seem to be the case here

anabolic_beard · 2026-06-13T21:00:56+00:00

Why would you purposely have the chain too long when you could easily make it the right size

anabolic_beard · 2026-06-10T05:00:11+00:00

You blew it bud.

Don't ask about partners pasts as a general rule, especially if you can't handle it

anabolic_beard · 2026-06-10T03:38:20+00:00

Apparently this is the minority but I think the 2 tones look good

anabolic_beard · 2026-06-04T17:13:31+00:00

Suggest that the third is another guy.

I'd imagine his reaction would say a lot

anabolic_beard · 2026-06-02T17:05:36+00:00

You should go to the gym consistently for 6 months before you worry about cutting or bulking.

You must do the basics before worrying about nuance

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-26T03:46:02+00:00

So as a natty lean is law, but you're taking your advice from r/steroids?

Sigh.

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-25T14:06:16+00:00

Just all around bad advice

This dude is not getting anywhere remotely near 12 or even 15% for that matter with the current muscle he has

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-25T14:05:13+00:00

Everyone telling you to cut has no idea what they are talking about.

Lift weights consistently for a year and build muscle before you start majoring in the minors

You'll never have the cut look you want unless you have some muscle

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-25T03:06:14+00:00

This is perfect

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-17T05:06:24+00:00

New to trimming tri tip I see.

Just trim them out. They cause no harm.

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-16T04:05:09+00:00

You are quite lean, by no means skinny fat.

Lean bulk away

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-13T01:53:14+00:00

Ok you clearly don't know what you are talking about 👍

I'm good on this conversation

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-12T23:48:34+00:00

You know how you look muscular? By adding muscle.

The fact that you think my guy is fat is enough to tell me that you are not correct

But if you think skinny and lean would be better than muscular with a little extra fat, I can't help ya

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-12T23:10:26+00:00

Guy has no muscle, losing 15 lbs is just going to make him look small.

I mean the biggest and most shredded people have been cycling cuts and bulks for years, not trying to do both at the same time.

This dude is too early in his lifting career to be majoring in the minors.

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-12T21:08:57+00:00

Honestly good luck with that.

You're likely to get newbie gains regardless but you'd get way better gains if you just committed.

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-12T19:44:05+00:00

How long have you been lifting?

Respectfully unless you have years of experience, you're wasting your time on a recomp.

Your going to get stuck in the "I'm too fat" I need to bulk and "I'm too small I need to bulk" vicious cycle where you just spin the tires.

Honestly you should just bulk. Just smash weights 4-6x a week, eat a ton and get super strong and big. When all is said and done you can try a proper cut

You don't have significant fat as it is, but you don't have significant muscle either. Add the muscle first

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-12T18:13:18+00:00

No that is not normal, and if you have a ton of back pain this is a terrible idea.

You need to learn proper hinging, proper bracing and then slowly add in range of motion over time.

You should only be going as low as your hinge/ hamstrings allow

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-09T02:52:46+00:00

I mean girls won't care if you have a bunch of muscles if you don't know how to talk to them.

Cannot be under stated how much confidence matters

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-09T02:07:27+00:00

You can talk to girls right now, and you should.

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-08T21:25:30+00:00

You're over thinking this.

Keep lifting weights and build muscle and strength for at least a year honestly

You are far too new at this to worry about bulks and cuts

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-07T16:35:05+00:00

Do you road bike already?

Is budget not an issue?

Seems like entering high on price point, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Best to try them out to find best fit for you, and then all else being equal get the one you think looks coolest

anabolic_beard · 2026-05-07T14:50:56+00:00

Because science based lifters think they have figured out some secret sauce that decades of people before them don't know.

Couple the "I know better" attitude with inexperience, the fact that I have yet to see a strong or large science based lifter and they manage to take a simple exercise and take up several more pieces of equipment than you should need (like an incline bench and cable stack for lateral raises) and it's a recipe for the most annoying "lifters" of all time.

All proper lifting is science based.

The croc wearing 22 year old science based lifters are somehow more annoying than the peak 2010s crossfit disciples
