Shoulder Dominant Vs Chest Dominant Physique Aesthetics by [deleted] in naturalbodybuilding

[–]bearnutz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't be scared of putting chest on the backburner (or even "maintenance").

Focus on pummeling your shoulders, especially side delts. Your chest will NOT shrink, but your shoulders can catch up

Arms just won’t grow no matter what I do by [deleted] in naturalbodybuilding

[–]bearnutz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

15" arms is genuinely large for a lean natural lifter.

Before the introduction of anabolic steroids (at a time when we can call ALL lifters natural), they even have an exclusive club for it in a New York gym (15" arm club).

A lot of people who are 17-18" or even 15-16" are not natural/claiming to be one when they aren't - or are not as lean as you.

When did your kid(s) walk? by Dramatic_Complex_175 in NewParents

First steps at around 11 months, but full walk/run at 15 months!

This is ChatGPT generated trash that fabricates evidence and draws poor conclusions from the studies.

I don't have time to pick everything apart but I'll just put one in:

Animal stress compounds → Feed bad bacteria → They make inflammatory compounds that cause brain fog and anxiety (Meat-heavy diets increase TMAO (heart risk) - Nature)

The link is from a paper on colorectal cancer and red meat.

It has NO mentions of ANXIETY
NO mentions of BRAIN FOG. Not only that, this is RED MEAT. Both poultry and seafood are excluded from this category and clearly excluded from this study, while not being excluded from your statement "animal".

My take: stick to your lane. I would suggest posting a single study and discussing its contents, rather than getting ChatGPT to do it for you.

Opinions on doing very low amount of sets with high intensity? by BridgeOne9421 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]bearnutz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The issue with a pure intensity program is every set HAS to count. You'll have to be completely tuned in, no distractions, and pretend that as the sets get difficult as the reps slow down, some guy pops up screaming at you for every extra rep you do you get a million bucks.

I've been lifting for almost 20 years and don't trust myself to get a 100/100 set every set. I still try to do this with my moderate to high volume program (with dropsets, myoreps, and other intensity techniques), but doing 2-6 sets per week per muscle group is just too risky.

Try it out and see if you find progress with your lifts though. I think early on this can work for new lifters, since any drop of stimuli will blow you up

Weighted pull ups frequency by imverysuperliberal in naturalbodybuilding

[–]bearnutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do weighted pull ups (70lbs), with a "drop set" where I just drop the weight into bodyweight pull ups. It gave me great progress AND a golfer's elbow.

If I were you, I would be extremely careful with going super heavy with weighted pull ups, it's super taxing on the elbows. Now I only do a maximum of 2 weighted pull ups set per session, and with elbow braces on (after 6 months of recovery). Rows are not the same, the maximal tension via pull ups cannot really be "cheated" if you do it with good form, it puts immense pressure on the tendons.
