TenGrams How To #3: Get big, REAL big, in 1 year

I would be the opposing view in the competitive side to @tengtren. My doses are moderate. So agreed. Nothing is absolute.

But “you know you have to eat and trying right” isn’t a relevant comment in here lol.
That’s why I like this forum. On average from what I’ve seen in a few places elsewhere, I’ve seen all sorts of bullshit physiques from guys on cycle. Sub 180# running multiple compounds and running a cutting cycle - stuff like that is common. But it isn’t here. I think that all things considered, giving people shit for wanting to use gear is a good thing. The information is already there and you have to do it alone. It’s your body and you get one. If other people can shit test you into not wanting to cycle or doubt yourself then you probably shouldn’t be.
 
Having a little trouble understanding this one mac

The good Dr came in here preaching diet and training. I restarted that this is indeed about competitive bodybuilding and that we’re assuming you know how to eat and train.

Then referenced another post which probably confused you. My statement was that I guess there are zero qualifiers here. We all assume everyone’s a juiced noob fuckstick.
 
And soon to look like a "Roly Poly"

News flash you won't be shredded running AAS and expecting them to do most of the work, that requires a strict diet (something you didn't post) and involves much more than meat and potatoes.

I don't know the OPs age but I suspect he's young, and young people haven't lived long enough to know priorities change as you get older.

Personally speaking, I never wanted to be a bodybuilder but during my late teens and twenties, and even thirties, I expected weight training and obsessing over my physique and strength would be a constant throughout my life. It hasn't been. I go through periods where I'm so preoccupied with other, far more important things, that I don't have time to give it a second thought. But you can't make young people understand that priorities change. They have no sense of time or even their own mortality. They think what consumes their interest now will never change. Because they haven't lived.

Who’s dad is this? :p

Fair point. But don’t discount people just having different priorities...bodybuilders arent all morons. @tengtren seems thoroughly in fitness: work, competing, etc.

I am young yes. But have lived more than most my age and very aware that priorities change. But for right now in my life and the foreseeable future these are mine. If I got my girl pregnant things would change in a heartbeat
 
Someone that subscribed to the more is better theory.

He posted pics, but wouldn't dare do it again though, 'cause he looked like shit and the honest opinions of others smashed his Mr. Olympia dreams.

He was bit on the mentally ill side too. o_Oo_Oo_O
Well maybe if he had gone and done things the TenGrams way he'd have impressed everyone
 
And you base an assessment of one's priorities on a SINGLE PED thread, lol!
But you see doc, mac I think has been in here the whole time and read all my responses. Which is plenty to accurately judge my priorities.

Was the first post all you read?

Would be fair except I’ve replied to @tengtren more than most family and friends in the past week or two. I am a competitive bodybuilder as well. So I think I’ve got his overjuiced ass pinned (see what I did there).
 
I’ll be posting my offseason cycle in my thread today if you guys wanna lay off telling him it’s too much and come tell me I’m not taking enough for my goals.

You missed the point, youngster. It wasn't about bodybuilding per se. It was a message about the pointlessness of throwing caution to the wind in order to persue a dream that will in all likelihood seem silly in a few short years.

I understand. You guys are like 10 pages late to the “youre a fucking moron” party that is the teng method. We’re now in to comedic enabling and approval.

The reason that tends to happen is because bodybuilding is so competitive, and rarely, EXTREMELY RARELY, does it offer any financial returns over your investment.

Than like you also said before, family and other things come in to play and your goals and dreams and desires for your life change quite a bit.


I'm younger than most, and can see it happening already before my eyes. Now I've never personally been in a place where Ive doubted my abilities, but I realize the pros are a far fetched dream for everyone. And being a money making pro is about as rare as finding a girl who who doesn't care about money.

Anyway, all good stuff. I'm new to the forum and greatly enjoying the content here. Just wanted to say.
