Why do people do this? I'm not even remotely skinny. I just look normal now, for once. At least once a week someone comes up to me and lectures me on how I just got lucky - that I didn't earn it. That I was way healthier in the past. Physically I feel better in every way imaginable, but suddenly people I once thought highly of treat me like an asshole because of my weight loss.
Can anyone relate?

Ignore them. Put the weight back on in muscle. Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Etc.

Why? Afraid that the alphas at your gym will call you a sissy little fag?
... But I use free weights, machines, typical gritty "strongman" equipment, as well as body-weight.

I started adding a handstand progression to my warmup about a year ago. Didn't practice as regularly as I should've, but I can hold one freestanding for >10seconds now.

So basically I was talking to my friend today and he said that he's waiting for his second growth spurt (runs in the family) so I came here to ask if I should expect one too.
Basically, I've been short all my life. I'm Black and 5' 5" so I'm short for America standard. I'm 19 years old, about to turn 20 in August.
My doctor said my growth chart is basically about to level out. I've had one growth spurt so far. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about second growth spurts and if they are rooted in genetics. I would of course love to be taller but I'm not expecting much more(at least 5'8").
>t.5'5" 19 yrs old black man.
>>41892460
hey man dont worry, up until i was 21 i was 5'8 then i had a growth spurt that pushed me into the 6ft mark, just eat alot bro

it's a mental thing because you have always seen the reverse of yourself in mirrors your whole life so when you see yourself the normal way it's not normal looking
Look at the lighting in the two photos you posted. The left has light strategically placed to give his face more dimension. When you look in a mirror, you don't need strategic lighting because you can see all the nuances of the 3D image.
The whole point of a good photo is translating that dimension to a flattened image (photo). Look at the right. His face looks flat, and the lighting is just whatever is coming through the window. He appears to have no chin whatsoever because the dimension is not there.

Why is it considered cool to smoke?
You literally are just standing there basically screaming "LOOK AT ME I AM ADDICTED TO SUBSTANCES AND HAVE NO SELF CONTROL"
Cigarette smokers are babies.
The only time being a smoker is somewhat acceptable or understandable is when someone started smoking as a young kid and stayed addicted.
It's cool because losers like you think it isn't. Smoking will always be cool and you're just jealous.
It's "cool" to some people because it shows you aren't some pussy who's afraid to die painfully
If you're using a pad, how much would a person need to squat to offset the instant faggot status they get for using the pad? Alternatively, is there any amount of weight the erases the faggot stain from using the pad?
Ol' good Ronnie is the only person alive on earth allowed to use a pussy pad without being called a faggot. If you believe otherwise you may aswell just kys.

>ITT we talk about how to grow the most aesthetic muscle group: Shoulders
NATURAL edition
As a natty, what exercises have you experienced give the most shoulder growth? As we all know the standard Overhead Press alone is not enough to build juicy delts
I've found seated (sm*th machine) behind the neck heavy OHP explodes my shoulders, followed by dropset lateral raises
I firmly believe that shoulders need to be trained frequently for growth. Following a fullbody routine 3 times/wk is simply not enough volume for good shoulder growth
alternating lateral raises
6 reps rear delt lateral raises
6 reps regular lateral raise
5-7 sets
Literally just do lateral raises every workout.
This will add mass to traps, neck and shoulders.
If you're body building, the 3 exercises you should do EVERY TIME YOU ARE ABOUT TO LEAVE THE GYM even just for 3 sets are calf raises, forearm preacher curls and lateral shoulder raises.
These muscle groups can take a beating and make you look more masculine and more well rounded.
Otherwise, carry on with your workouts like you usually do.

do you ever bump your head doing behind neck Ohp?
i guess smith machine is good for that because seems dangerous if u fail a rep

Can't be too hard. If they are not pre-seasoned then just throw some shit on them. Whatever you like.
>>41891815
it's not that complicated to marinate in a liquid mixture or just apply a dry-rub overnight. cook in pan with oil like you would.
you can brown in a pan on high heat and then finish in the oven if they are thick fillets.
