I am not suggesting things like steroids or Creatine even. I was merely telling about the transformation of body with respect to training and protein intake. And the last phrase ā€˜beyond what your body can bear’ clearly underlines that I do not support steroid usage at all. I already wrote that Beginners don’t need Creatine as well and you can reach your natural limit merely by optimum protein intake.

And I am not in show business at all.

I do, and anyone can. It is not objective that if you push around 50 lbs on dumbbell press for 15 reps in 4 sets that you train hard. Intensity is defined by how close to your failure are you training. For most muscle groups 8-12 sets is a sufficient amount to reach failure. For smaller muscles like the Triceps shorthead, even 3 sets of solid technique bar pushdowns can be sufficient. In other terms it is not objective and one can train hard, even after being a beginner.

yeah. Muscle group recruitment and activation play a big role here but most people aren’t learned enough to know that. I’ve worked a fair amount on my muscle group activation which is why I can lift elite for my weight (bench press a little more than my body weight, squat more than 1.5x my body weight). I haven’t tried deadlift but I’m pretty sure I can easily to 2x my body weight, especially cause mine is not that high lol

depends on the supplement. Definitely agree on protein powder and creatine though. Most people who take it don’t necessarily need it.

yeah, that’s good.

To be honest from a scientific point of view meat is the best source. Because humans can’t get protein from plants, only herbivores can (you may have noticed gorillas and other herbivores have huge muscles even with only plant diet. This is because their body is adapted to breakdown the cellulose and eventually generate protein. Only a herbivore can do this)

there are a lot of other factors to it, but I think I understand what you’re trying to say

yeah that’s what. I guess for vegetarians it’s understandable because they can’t get another source. But always be cautious and don’t be fooled by these brands when consuming it.

You’ve seen my physique. But my focus is not size always. When you train like an athlete your approach in the gym itself changes. But the best way to train for athletics is playing sports outside the gym. And even all other athletic training like plyos etc. doesn’t even need gym, can be done at home.

But for hybrid approach (which is ideal) there is nothing like a gym. Especially the environment and the accountability because you paid for it.

Don’t train those muscles until they get recovered, recovery is also very important.
