Went on a decent hike with the gal I’m dating, her pick. About 2.5-3miles in one way. A decent amount of scrambling although fairly flat overall, pretty scenic. She did much better than expected and even wanted to jog the last flat part back. Got claustrophobic in one part, I was asking “has the fire department ever had to come un-wedge someone out of this part? Think skinny thoughts, think skinny thoughts….”

Her and then me doing a level 23 cave troll coming out of the cave

(This is a trail we don’t regularly do just in case any creepy stalkers)

Saw this on yahoo and my brain broke trying to figure out how this lady has this much junk in her trunk. This is a real pic, supposedly

Is it genetics and being a squat queen, or is it implants, or did she get fat everywhere and then had it lipo’d out of everywhere but her butt?

That’s gotta be it. Or implants

If PAWG, lipedema.

If non-PAWG, steatopygia. (used to be the H word)

You don’t need “science-based” lifting to build a lot of muscle. Train hard, eat right, sleep good, and you can build lots with or without PED’s

But picture someone who only lifts arms, or never lifts legs. How fucking very obviously weird it looks when someone has chicken legs, or little T-Rex arms, or a big chest and a tiny back, or vice-versa

That’s an extreme but between that and a fitness model is everyone else in the middle, a spectrum of lifters with different shaped bodies not defined as much by their genetics as their training

In order to be as aesthetic as possible (which for many is the goal, to look good), you have to hit as many little tiny heads on the muscle as possible. And often that requires some weird as shit movements you never even heard of

If you just stick to doing the same old shoulder press, bench press, squats and curls, sure you’ll look big and boxy. But your muscles won’t “pop” the way that the most aesthetic guys in the gym are. That’s not just PED’s….i mean yea it’s usually INVOLVING PED’s lol….but it’s because those freaks are sitting there for sometimes hours doing 10 different little movements to hit every single part of their shoulder muscle. The front, the tops, the sides, the back. Shit the back of shoulders is an area that is highly noticeable when it comes to what girls like seeing and is an area I would say like 80% of casual gym-go’ers NEVER hit. Not once in their entire lifting career. Because they don’t look up the science of what exercise hits what part of the muscle, and they keep doing their same old squats, bench, and military press

As the science gets upgraded, so do the standards. It isn’t enough to just lift, that’s not going to separate someone from other dudes in the girl’s eyes. They don’t need a lot of muscle, in fact there is a clearly defined “too much” for most women. But the more aesthetic they look, the more they will stand out, even if they only have a small but toned amount of muscle. If it’s shaped well, and it pops, it will look good and tend to draw more eyes

And I know this broscience guy despite his comedy knows and regularly employs far more different types of exercises than most casual lifters to look like he does. PED’s alone won’t give that to anyone. Lift shitty and take lots of PED’s and you’ll get big, and boxy, and kinda ugly

What about Anatoly the Cleaner? He seems to have some method that certainly appears to work.
I havent checked out his methods just watched his silly gotcha vids.

Oh yea he is so popular for a reason. Physique is very good if even on the big side, if someone had muscles shaped like his but 20%-30% smaller I guarantee the girls would still be into it. That’s what all these BIGorexia bro’s don’t get, if they say they are lifting to look good. What is most important in terms of turning heads is shape, not size

But yea very aesthetic and super stronk, and fairly functional strength

Oh and I work around 80% women in my field. And I have heard some when I first met them mention a muscular guy isn’t what they’re into, it’s about intelligence and kindness and yadda yadda. And it is, I believe them. And it is also the socially praised thing to say. I have heard these same girls once they got to know me better say so-and-so celebrity or influencer or even someone we see in public who happens to be physically aesthetic body wise is hot. And I’ll point out, hmm a bit muscular though right? Seems like they go to gym a good amount. Just to remind them what they said before without saying it

So it has taught me there is a subsection of girls who are willing to admit they like an aesthetic fit body

Then there’s a segment who say it’s unimportant and are kinda lying a little

And then there’s the rest that say it’s unimportant and are telling the truth

And we can only guess where the %’s truly fall

Wasn't able to schedule an appointment with any doctors today after researching, calling 5 different places, and leaving messages on 5 different automated answering services instead of talking to someone at the front desk.

Cool country we have here.
