Lifting weights is pointless without steroids

I'm 6'1'' 180 lbs and ripped. I used to be out of shape even though I always went to the gym. Once I went vegan 6 months ago my body has transformed. My recovery is much faster and I'm lifting more, hence getting larger muscles. I take no protein or any other supplements. Drink socially maybe once a week, less than 6 drinks. Diet is 70%, weights 20%, genetics 10%.
Most people are obsessed with protein which inhibits proper muscle development imo. It's all about amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Also, I do a 5x5 strong lifts workout. 3 xs a week for 30-45 mins. Not much time at all...bench, squat, deadlift, bent over rows, standing military press. Hits all the primary muscles that release the most testosterone which grows your secondary muscles. I hate when people train biceps at the gym. So stupid

You can raise it up to 10% by not jacking it too

Don't understand the lift to get chicks thing.

As a cyclist, I only lift in the off season to get more muscular balance and strength. So, lifting is worthwhile here.

Thank you, Daozen, and the same to you!

Your posts have inspired me!

Most of them still wouldn't inspire female desire though

Short, blocky, wide hips and waists

Thanks but no thanks

Everything is "cope" at some point. Work on some goals and be happy.

No you can't. Not to a significant degree anyway.

Some people gain muscle quickly

Their bodies are Arnold bodies without the steroids

As the above poster MarPep quoted....

Steroids have many potential side effects--physical and mental and psychological--and most of them bad.

I'm 57 and feeling my age. I work out and lift weights to be more mobile and to alleviate the pain of Rheumatoid Arthritis. If I get buffed out, its just an added benefit...

So lifting weights and working out is not pointless without steroids. Lots of good benefits to be had without the drugs....

You sound depressed.

Get your testosterone levels checked too.

Cycling is useless and actually comes with its own side effects too, like lowered testosterone and even testicular cancer from the constant pressure and micro trauma to the testes from the bike seat.

Op has no idea what he is talking about lmfao

As long as you're eating the right things,pushing enough weight, and making sure you take long enough rests time between sessions you can make great gains

And they're 5ft tall

That's in France. You French are short

I am 6'

Keep believing this propaganda from the magazines, and keep training harder and longer, you might add 0.5 pound of muscles more in 5 years

On the contrary

Not about: "building inner confidence at accomplishing difficult goals"???(And Feeling good about yourself.)???????

I bet if you could buy muscle mass with a credit card instead of earning it; you'd stay home...

You're missing the point me thinks..

You probably buy $400 Jeans with fake Work stains too" doncha'"

This guy didn't start bodybuilding til he was 40. Yes, he probably used steroids.

He was an average guy age 40. By 44, he was more or less a living God.

And this dude:

This guy started a transformation in 90 days:

He's not huge, but I bet he's not using roids.

Girls like 6 packs anyway. U can get a 6 pack without steroids. I was showing a Filipina girl the before and after ripped-over-40 pics the other day, and she was drooling over some of the men.

All I know is each set of 10 hindu push ups i do... I feel more alive, more energized, more calm, and more wiry than I did before I did them. I'm only doing small sets of ten, but I do 10-30 sets per day.

for what reason? so i can have this urge to fuck everything? are you like a virgin or something?

For me i lift to take out some aggression I build through the day.

Chasing ass won't get you mass. But
Chasing mass will get you ass.

That's my two plates.

The first and second guy are OBVIOUSLY on a ton of gear.

The third guy looks like he already had a decent mass but just lost weight.

The fourth guy still looks like shit.

Gay? really? could you get out of the 80's and stop calling things "Gay". As if ALL homosexual people walk around and gwak at people in order to rate them ....

Choose another word like ...studid or crazy...

--Just saying...

Yes, precisely so that you can have this urge to fuck everything.

No, I'm not a virgin.

OH HAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHHA THAT SOUNDS SO DEFENSIVE..... lol.

No, it doesn't.

Why would you assume someone else on the internet is a virgin anyway?

Projection?

OP is a good troll

COPE

I've been a dedicated weight lifter for the better part of 20 years and there is some truth in what the OP is saying.

Getting that male model or professional athlete build is a matter of genetics and no amount of proper nutrition, hard work or whatever will change that.

The downside to this truth is that probably less than 10% of men that workout with weights have the genetics necessary.

Yes, one can shoot some juice (roids), but the evidence is now finally coming out after years of people taking them that it might not be worth it.

For instance, it is now known that men over the age of 30 taking steroids are statistically increasing their chance of contracting prostate cancer by as much as 85%.

Ahahahaha
