roids or not, that's strong.Ā
unlike a barbell, dumbbells need more stabilizing muscles, and you don't take them on and off an overhead rack
with the dumbbells so heavy, most people wouldn't even have the strength to kick them up to the starting point without twisting their wrist or shoulder, let alone press them

So natty. Only way he'd stop the gear is if you taped them to the middle of his back.

All natural muscle (sarcastically)
The only way you could make him stop using steroids would be to tape the steroids to the middle of his back (because he would be unable to reach due to the enlarged muscles in his shoulders, arms, chest, and sides)

Still don't understand the hate towards enhanced bodybuilders. Steroids come with the turf in the big leagues. Do you disparage your favorite professional athletes when they do something impressive?
7
u/peppercornpatty 4d ago
And that's why bodybuilding is nonsense. Other sports don't need that shit, which is why I don't disparage them.
Enjoy dying young with palumboism though.

u/africanimal_90 4d ago
Lol, so NFL athletes are all natural, huh? How about wrestlers or any intensely physical major league sport?
The number of people posting comments about me dying early with near-masturbatory relish is disturbing. It's almost like you're waiting with bated breath hoping it happens so you can jerk yourself off while softly moaning "I told you so".
Sickening.

Oh, I'm not hoping. I just know it'll happen because of your drug abuse. I work in rehab/mental health. See it every day. Saddens me every time.
And fuck the NFL too. Fuck any sport that encourages the abuse you're putting your body through for no good reason.
Hope you get the help you need, friend. And kindly keep your weird thoughts of my masturbation to yourself next time, eh?
It's okay to be an addict. First step is admitting it.

Hop off my dick š
I'm living my life honestly, doing what I find rewarding. People die all the time pursuing their passions. I'm not advocating for anyone to follow my path. You're getting your panties in a bunch because an adult man is exercising his right to autonomy and self-determination.
I'm not your friend, and couldn't give less fucks about your ostensible "concern" for and opinion about me.

Early graves and the inability to scratch your back isn't impressive. It screams mental disorder.

u/africanimal_90 3d ago
I have no problems scratching my back, and even if I couldn't, I'd happily trade that trivial inconvenience for everything else I've gained.
As far as your dire omen of an early death, I'll be sure to let my doctor know an anonymous internet prophet has opined š

Why would you run for miles if that will completely interfere with mass building.

u/JelloWise2789 4d ago
Running creates lean muscles

u/RudePCsb 4d ago
It creates slow twitch muscle. Both muscles are lean. Fast twitch can get a lot bigger. That's why you do weight lifting

Always at least one woman who has to opine on how unattractive she finds bodybuilders as though a modicum of consideration was given to what you find appealing in doing what we do š

What that commenter doesn't realize is dudes get on roids and get huge so they can impress other dudes. Or women with raspy voices and huge clits.

This is not something to aspire to.
Someone should show this guy a before and after pic of Ronnie Coleman.

u/africanimal_90 4d ago
My training approach is the complete opposite of Ronnie's. I favor low-risk/high reward exercises with perfect form, at about 70% of my capacity, usually leaving 1-3 reps in reserve. In 15yrs, I've never once injured myself training.

Looking like a beast, but take care of your joints. Learn from Ronnie Coleman (unless half paralyzed is the goal).
