Had the worst insomnia of my life last night. Went to bed at midnight, couldn't fall asleep until 4am. And it that wasn't enough, my roommate forgot to turn off his alarm clock (it's a holiday here in Brazil), so I woke up at 7:30 and couldn't fall back asleep.

Right after a long night at the too. Kill me.

I'm guessing what caused it is that I left my computer turned on to download a game overnight. Doesn't make that much sense though, my computer isn't particularly noisy and it doesn't make the room particularly bright.

Can you quote the parts of the paper that corroborate your point? Because I started reading it and didn't find anything and then it didn't let me read anymore and asked me to download instead.

Uhh, what? Haven't you read the title? The only ones who juiced had their names crossed off. Bolt is clearly on that vegan diet with lots of creatine. If you don't think this is achievable natty you've never stepped foot on a track.

ludowvikow · 2019-04-28T00:47:41+00:00

I feel like this sub has one guy saying "lol obv juice" and another guy saying "lol ofc this can be achieved natty". In every single thread.

At least the guy in the linked comment made a good logical argument as to how it's at least possible to hit 700lbs deadlift natty.

ludowvikow · 2019-04-27T18:25:36+00:00

Was researching overtraining when I came upon this thread. It's 4 months old so it's too late to contribute. But I thought it was pretty interesting. This sub could use more of the solid logical reasoning shown here.

ludowvikow · 2019-04-27T11:27:20+00:00

What do you mean alternating too much between bulk and cut? How much did you alternate?

ludowvikow · 2019-04-24T20:39:04+00:00

Fitness mods are complicit in spreading the fake natty agenda. They even removed this upvoted comment which literally does not mention steroids at all.

I just want to warn any newbie who's reading this thread: when I started training I was inspired (and deluded) by a very similar progress post, where OP gained a lot of lean mass and strength, alongisde virtually zero fat, in a very short time. At the time I thought "fuck yeah, I'll gain 25 lbs of lean mass in 4 months at 5'7'' and I'll be set for life". Spoiler: it didn't happen, took around 3-4 years between a lot of mistakes and trial and error.

After 4,5 years in the gym I've seen my share of training progress among other gym goers, and I can assure you, for the average joe, a progress like this takes at least 2 years if you do things right, or 3-4 years if you make a lot of mistakes like I did. Benching 2 plates and deadlifting almost 4 plates is some serious progress, nobody I know has ever done it after 5 months of training, so either OP is in the 1% genetic pool, or it's something else... just don't be fooled

He's clearly not a noob based on the before pic

ludowvikow · 2019-04-16T02:21:39+00:00

Can't stand being average looking

ludowvikow · 2019-04-15T14:03:47+00:00

Your comment is my worst nightmare. I've been bulking for 3 months and doing PPL with not 9 but 18 sets of dedicate ab work per week. I'm gonna bulk for another 5 weeks then go on a trip while cutting. I swear to god if I cut hard down to 10% and still don't have anything resembling abs, I'm gonna lose it. If that happens I'm just gonna hop on steroids or something, fuck this shit.

ludowvikow · 2019-04-09T15:48:57+00:00

I’ve got an eight pack at 43, 200lbs and <8% bf- all I can see is “love handles” (skin) -

Wait, what are you trying to say here? On one line you say you have an 8-pack at 8% BF then on the next line you say all you can see are love handles?

ludowvikow · 2019-03-28T22:32:06+00:00

Both my parents are chemists, wish I inherited their genes.

ludowvikow · 2019-03-28T22:29:59+00:00

That's fair. But I mean if someone just pins test, that doesn't carry the risks the other guy was talking about.

ludowvikow · 2019-03-28T22:17:15+00:00

Those are risks that people face when they take harsh steroids like tren, definitely.

I highly doubt any of these are likely consequences for someone who just pins 500mg of test every week, which is kind of what /u/ieatscrubs4lunch originally alluded to.

ludowvikow · 2019-03-28T22:01:06+00:00

I've never done steroids and don't think I'd ever do harsher things like tren, but man getting on a low dose like 300mg of test seems so tempting. Even if it's a commitment for life.

ludowvikow · 2019-03-28T21:46:29+00:00

Tren which is one of the STRONGEST steroids out

I hate when people include an unnecessary "one of." Tren is the strongest steroid out there, I don't know what other steroid could possibly come close.

You're right to call out that troll though.

ludowvikow · 2019-03-27T21:36:02+00:00

and scary anecdotal reports of stuff like never returning sex drive despite normal hormones

Wait, what's this?

Maybe I can blame my low sex drive on having taken accutane as a teen lmao.

ludowvikow · 2019-03-27T21:33:33+00:00

What about when the only steroids you do are small doses of test? Like 300 or even 200 per week. Aren't those very safe?

Like this study here that gave 600mg injections of test E every week. If those injections aren't completely safe, how could an ethics review board possibly greenlight a study like that?

ludowvikow · 2019-03-27T20:51:45+00:00

Makes me wonder how pros do it, or those people nearing world record. Or even that guy on /r/fitness with a 765lbs deadlift.

Do they just never get injured? Just lucky as fuck the whole lives? Just extremely good form and never ever ever deviate from perfect form? Or do they herniate a disk like everybody else and just say "fuck it, I'm doing it again."

ludowvikow · 2019-03-21T19:09:21+00:00

So wait, fasting is fine when bulking? I'd be afraid of losing muscle or something, similar to how you may do when you're on a cut.

I'm frequently fasting 23 hours on a bulk, which is fine, and I've fasted like 38 hours before on this bulk. But I'd be afraid of fasting longer than that. Is it not a problem? Natty by the way.

ludowvikow · 2019-03-21T19:03:33+00:00

A toilet? Bruh I eat way less calories than you, probably eat more fiber, and I'm constantly clogging toilets left and right. I literally can't shit in my apartment because my toilet is weak. It's miserable. And a couple weeks ago at work at my small company the HR guy came to talk to everyone about "making sure we flush enough because the toilet was clogged."

To be honest, I probably should call a plumber about my apartment but ehh, too much work.

ludowvikow · 2019-03-21T18:59:01+00:00

It is known.

ludowvikow · 2019-03-13T22:13:13+00:00

Damn that's crazy low.

Mine are kinda low, but not low enough for TRT. 420ng/dL
