Whats up Getbig. As some of you know, I used to be obsessed with bodybuilding. Tried all sorts of drugs, every diet and workout plan under the sun. Well, its been 4 years now since I last used any drugs, and for the most part of the past 4 years I have only trained once or twice a week, not very seriously, and only eaten one or two meals per day, usually just focusing on some sort of meat. I havent put much thought or effort into my body whatsoever. And over the years, I did lose quite a bit of muscle and strength, to the point where I was only dead lifting 225 for 8-10 reps and benching 185 for 1-3 reps. Well, a few months ago I began taking training more seriously. I consistently go every monday, no more no less, and when I do go I focus just on the big compound movements with heavy weight, very explosive reps. Otherwise my diet has stayed the same. And over the course of a couple months I am starting to build up some good strength and muscle mass. My shoulders arent anywhere near as wide as they were when I was on juice, but I am bench pressing nearly as much as I did back then. Now the question is, are you overthinking your training? I know I was back when I used to train. It seems obvious to me now. Lift heavy and explosive. At least, thats what works for me.You have AIDS, not much else matters.

I'd rather look like a skinny soccer player then be chunky and kind of built, many guys in the gym with these builds, not really muscular, 20% bf, yet think they're "big."

Why do you even care about muscles you're gay and you have aids...
When you have good genetics not much thought goes into getting big, in shape, whatever. Sure you find what works best for you through trial and error. Tweak your diet, etc. But its guys trying all these diff training programs diets blah blah blah their genetics suck for most part. I go lift heavy I eat food and done no overthinking involved
-Lift 1-3 days per week full body
-keep volume low
-focus on compounds
-6-8 rep range
-eat at or around maintanence calories, macros 40/30/30ish
-eat whole foods - lean meat, rice, potatos, oatmeal, fruit/vegs
-sleep 8 hours per night and drink plenty of water
-go for walks/jogs or play a sport for cardio
do this consistently for 3-4 years and you'll be at least 90% of your potential and you won't feel like you are on sone crazy regimine.
If you're training that infrequently, why not just go full keto?
Welcome back Taylor. As you can see, Getbig never changes which is unfortunate. Negativity, prejudice, hate and fear of the unknown remain at the core of many posts and their authors' beliefs.
It's great that you've found your weight training niche. You look healthy and reasonably fit. BTW, I think your glasses look great. I recently got my first pair of horned rimmed glasses and I really like them.
Cool glasses!
"losing weight" isnt a primary goal, but rather, functional strength.I agree that functional strength is very important, but you should aim for 12% bodyfat or so. You already have enough size and if you cut bodyfat your functional strength will improve quite a bit.
You've come a long way Taylor!

It has taken me a lifetime, but I'm finally embracing my good genetics despite that it means I will never become legitimately huge. I'm a slim fellow, born of slim parents and grandparents. In fact, almost no one in my family is big. I wasted a lot of time trying to overcome my natural genetic makeup. Fortunately, I didn't sacrifice my good health doing this.
