Is anyone else disappointed with their gains and feel like they're spinning their wheels?

Just getting a little puffier and cutting back to their old size

Man for 3 years of lifting I really thought I'd achieve a much better looking physique

As a natty, you have to either choose the path of being small but shredded or swole but fat.

what the fuck OP? physique is decent but these are your maxes after three fucking years? what the hell have you been doing this whole time?
>>
I'm curious as to what your guys' motive is for telling people they're small for 'x' years of lifting. OP already said he's not happy with it and you take the time to post discouraging stuff if he doesn't align with these arbitrary metrics of what's considered good lifts. Are you just humble bragging? I mean the guy easily looks better than 95% of the population and you still care about 'calling him out'.
>>
>>38762588
>Physique is decent
>Weak maxes

Sound like a win to me
I'd take that any day than some mehdi faggot who looks like shit despite being somewhat strong
>>
>>38762231
You look leagues better than me and ive been lifting for the same amount of time
>>
>>38762638
"i dont even lift" the post
>>
>>38762664
that can only mean you havent exercised rountinely, didnt exercise hard enough, didnt eat enough, or ate like shit. there is not secrets in fitness. you get out of it what you put in. if you look like shit after 3 years, then youve put in shit effort for 3 years. it is that simple
>>
>>38762715
What if someone has low test
Also explain how Ian McCarthy looks the way he does after all those years of training
>>
>>38762231
OP, I did even worse. I lifted for 5 (five) years with machines because I had absolutely no idea and didn't know about /fit/ and trusted my personal trainers at the gym who told be about meme stuff like confusing muscles. I gained 7 lbs and remained a complete skelly. Only when i discovered strength routines and free weights and ate like a beast I gained like crazy.

I think you pushed yourself too hard and didn't allow yourself enough regeneration and you did not eat enough. If you fix that and go to a 3x per week routine you can get bigger without roiding. Good luck
>>
>>38762805

What's wrong with machines?

Genuine question, stumbled on this thread, not /fit/.

I like to use the chest machine sometimes and it makes me feel strong

>Also explain how Ian McCarthy looks the way he does after all those years of training
Doesn't eat.
