Back home for easter break

if you look the same after 5 years and not stronger then you aren't going to the gym to improve but to fuck around

just to clarify the post: I've reached my natty limit bodybuilding wise, not strength wise though of course

as the user above me said, puberty is one mad cycle, reaching (early) zyzz mode while underage felt pretty good, but also peaked BB-wise pretty much - If you lift properly for 3 years with autism you can get close to your natty max easily, so it's not hard to believe tbhfammo

Its the way highschool football lifting is structured. You go to each pre determined station with two other people and lift at a break neck pace to try and get through your card that the Coach gives you. The card is based on your 1 rep max and it has the weight and reps that you do and the strength Coach revises it every day after you lift. Plus they are shouting at you left and right for form and to push. Plus peer pressure of football team who lifts a lot.

I wish I lifted and played sports in high school and college. I'll never make up for all that lost time.

You've actually answered your question in your own post.
Hint: it has to do with how much you're eating.

actually you can. weightlifting progress is not linear and once you get to a certain point the progress becomes very slow (yearly). obviously the guy is much further ahead than you but you can get to his level if you continue lifting. you are already squatting 2pl8. 3pl8 should be doable in another year give or take. 3 years from now you can be squatting 4pl8 if you stay committed.

American football must be pretty funny. I mean there is nothing equal in Finland. Every high school student is 70 kg at most. Very few fatties hit 80 kgs.

There's nothing like it, Finbro.

Coming from an american living in the Midwest, most overrated sport and full of degenerate imbeciles. There are generations of people who waste their lives on this sport and think it is their life. Concussions, bad joints, broken bones, obesity. All a result of football imo.

surplus not big enough?
