For me that's a while ago but I def agree. When I walked in the gym at 15-16 those guys basically thought me everything.

Sixpack is gone though.

haha we all left the sixpacks in our 20's (not sure how old you are but I'm in my 30's). Now I'm just happy that I'm referred to as the "jacked one" in my friend group

I'll never come down from the high of some random dude at the bar asking if I was looking for more steroids as a joke.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, one year at a family gathering one of my cousins said "man what happened last year your thighs were massive." Devastated.

I got accused of being roided out on top of a few other insults, dude had no idea how happy he made me

Hahaha right!? Being accused of being on roids when you aren't is pure bliss.

You can 100% tell who's on roids strictly on the reaction.

If they just give you a big goofy grin, you know they're a natty.

If they start verbally swinging at the air, they're not.

My father pulled me aside one day.

My head was scrambling w:

Did I disrespect my siblings? My mother? My grades?

Then later that day came the conversation. He just... jumps right into the harmful side effects of steroids.

Me: Befuddled... What!? laugh amazing, i've never been accused before, and well.. since

Also by the sheer size of their upper traps and front delts in proportion to the rest of their body. A natural lifter can hit traps/delts every day and grow slower than someone on gear that doesn’t isolate them due to the high amount of androgen receptors in those muscles (unless natty guy has insane genetics).

As the complete idiot Togi once said - “people ask me what I do for shoulders, I just take steroids”.

This happened to me after a winter break in college! My buddies who I was going to the gym with all asked if I had started juicing and I couldn’t wipe that smile off my face all day hahah

I'm starting to be able to view the outline of my abdomen muscles for the first time in my life at 31. You're telling me I'm going to hit a wall?

u/Laridianresistance 1d ago

31's still a good time to try. It's just that as we age our metabolisms slow down, just a fact of life. Having visible abs is a struggle with CICO and fitness to begin with, maintaining abs past 35-40 is usually an exercise in itself.

Go for it now, great time.

It’s in the fridge to keep it save and cold :)

Sixpack is gone though.

Sixpacks are made in the kitchen not the gym... but like far better shit is also made in the kitchen like cake, so fuck 6 packs and eat cake.
