Anyone who lifts knows how much it sucks to stay natty. Like for real I can bench press 100 kilos for 5 reps but it took me like 10 years of lifting weights on an off to get there. Feelsbadman when u compare urself to the tiktok sarm goblins and realize u could have a 405 bench by now if u just blasted off years ago. Oh well tho. I want to blast off so bad I just don’t have the money for it right now.
Yeah, my progress has already slowed after only a few months of hard training (no more newbie gains), I can't even imagine what it must be like after 10 years.
Honestly might be worth looking into that nucleus overload or deload stuff if you've been training for years, it sounds super bro sciencey, but it's not like it's going to hurt anything.
But you should still be incredibly happy with your results, it sounds better than like 99% of people strength and fitness wise. Don't let some roided ego lifters rob you of the joy and progress you've made.
