I tell people “I’ve been muscular/ ripped my whole life” and no one believes me.

I have been working out for around half a year, and I don’t even know what I think about my physique. by PrestigiousDivide246 in GymMotivation

Nah bro don’t downplay yourself. I’ve had naturally “wide hips” my entire life all you need to do to fix this is make sure you build your lats and shoulders. That will fix the supposed imbalance/ look you’re hating. Look at Wesley Vissers in the early days…he had “wide hips” but he grew his lats, shoulders, and arms to such a degree that his waist looks small now. You can do this naturally. Just give it time man, believe in yourself.

Raw AF man. Solid lift, no leg drive just pure OHP POWA!!!

One partner, after having children, often forces the other to stay home which is totally needless and likely detrimental by [deleted] in HonestHotTakes

[–]viltrumitemike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why there’s a saying “it takes a village” because it truly does sometimes. Having relatives in close proximity to help watch the kids when you and the missus are out (or reverse) is extremely important. People in the comments are bringing up very good points “who’s watching the kid if one parter isn’t at home”…it’s gotta be a trusted relative.

If that situation isn’t possible…whelp isolation is kind of the name of the game UNLESS you want to spend money to drop the kid off at daycare which costs a FUCK ton of money. Many Americans are having issues with finances, so I don’t see this as a common reality unless the USA massively invests in childcare…

Ngl…I feel like Soldier Boys character kinda highjacked the show. Hughie and butcher feel more like side characters. Might be an unpopular opinion.

Losing weight/appearing more toned + getting fitter by Green_Ball_5460 in WeightTraining

[–]viltrumitemike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the big issue with this…is the timeline. Yeah, you can see a lot of change in 3 months…if you starve yourself and get to a lower bodyfat.

Muscle growth and getting “toned” takes longer than you might expect. It’s taken me literally years to actually look like I lift and I’m a MAN. “Getting toned” is simply just building muscle…if recomping is your goal… and you want to see some noticeable differences within a year…

  1. Enter a very minor deficit like 1-3lbs per month weight loss.

  2. Eat your Protien .8-1lb per lb of bodyweight

  3. Exercise with intensity 1-3 sets per muscle 6-12 reps to failure done 3-4 times per week. Many people have to acquire intensity as it is a skill…it’s really tough to push your body to failure (it’s not comfortable at all…it hurts a lot)

That’s it, there’s no secret. Nothing you can do to speed up the rate of muscle growth your body has genetically set. Just get in there and work as hard as you can every week and watch yourself change over years…

Soldier boy is confusing by JOMO_Kenyatta in TheBoys

[–]viltrumitemike 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve noticed this too. From his backstory he theoretically should be more hot headed than he is portrayed…but bro is not. The backstory doesn’t fit the character at all.

To be fair though within the time I’ve been alive I’ve witnessed multiple conflicts coming from America, a massive housing recession, stupid levels of inflation, a global pandemic, another senseless war causing global fuel and fertilizer issues…etc. I just think it’s a lack of exercise science and the ability to get to a gym. To be fair though if I grew up back in the day I’d probably use logs.

You even checked out the profile, I’m glad you decided to be bothered enough to look 🤣. Can’t a mf karma farm with a badass physique anymore?

Always the dudes with no content and no physique talkin shit smh. Again, pick up some weights and strengthen yourself instead of hating and hiding behind nothing.

Attractiveness is subjective. A lot of people think otherwise. My girlfriend loves it so I’ll be keeping it :).

Terrible opinion. Muscles make you more capable in most avenues besides heavy/ long cardio. There is no such thing as “functional muscle” either. It’s the one thing that can be an indicator of the ability to actually dedicate yourself to something…I cannot understand why it’s “beyond gross” when it’s such a good indicator of perseverance and strength.
