*whey* too much
har har har
How were you consuming it? In a protein shake?
mostly mixed into food
ew
at the time my base food was lentils+rice+butter or coconut milk+protein powder, then spiced heavily
but even eating that much protein, my gains were gradually disappearing
and I began developing gingivitis and brittle hair and other issues even though I was supplementing vitamins and tracking micros on cronometer
I had no energy even though I was slamming caffeine
did you see a doctor
then I switched back to a retardedly simple diet of like... 3/4 plate vegetables, 1/4 plate chicken/eggs/butter and now I'm entirely fine
I don't even eat much and I am entirely fine
on paper the amount of protein I eat vs my weight and physical workload should have me dying of overtraining, yet I am entirely fine
@Deleted User 57835c2c training naturally
you will peak early
and then that's pretty much it
what do you mean peak early
you gain pretty much all you can in 1-2 years
and then whatever you do just keeps it there
more or less
off people who start to work out
I do my stuff by trial and error
all I know really is the history of things I have tried vs how it turned out
I don't even know what the science or fitness youtubers or whatever say on this topic anymore
I saw a few pics of Cristiano Ronaldo recently
dude is jacked to a level that's become obviously unnatural
size is definitely a false goal
he used to be thin
now does Cristiano Ronaldo work out his upper body hardcore in the gym?
I wouldn't think so
it doesn't make sense to
for a football player
I am one of those guys who actually does have the genetics to be stupid strong, but I do not look like a bodybuilder and never will
you already have most of your strength
if you're already really strong
then it may be the case
I can shoulder press 200 at least
but I have only been intermittently able to even go to a gym
I suspect I still have a lot left on the table, because I have been eating like shit and only in the gym every other month and still lifting in those sorts of numbers
but at my best I look like this
