Yeah same here. My confidence improved dramatically but only in terms of having to stick up for myself. Confrontations lost much of their anxiety inducing power so I could be more assertive. Didn't help my SA much though. I think a combination of being big to dissuade would be aggressors coupled with the skills to back it up must be the best combination for feeling physically confident in most situations.

LOL that's quite unlucky for him! Most times they only cause atrophy of your gonads which is totally reversable. You sure it shrunk his penis? That's really an old wives tale.

There might be another explanation for it, he was a ****. I had no issues on steroids but coming off I felt quite low and a bit irritable. I didn't beat anyone up though.

[The Chosen One]

I also have another question. I have quite skinny forearms. IS that going to make my weightlifting tougher and if so, what could I do to make them stronger and bigger?

[ar90]

I wouldnt do any exercises specifically for forearms, you should hit them a lot when training back and arms, my forearms would always be pumped as hell after a bicep or back workout, usually from stuff like deadlifts, lat pull downs, bicep curls and hammer curls, if you work them seperately you risk over training them.

Do you use straps? if you do try not to use them for a while, this will strengthen your forearms.

well i ain't no expert in bodybuilding but i have noticed my forearms becoming more solid and defined since i've been using a bar to do pull up's and back row's (don't know if this the correct term?) with.

i'm pretty much doing all my body parts using my own bodyweight at the moment, hand stand push ups (again don't know if this the correct term?) up against a wall is a toughy on da shoulders.

Iv never tried those, i bet it can go wrong in so many ways! if my mum walked in whilst i was doing that shed kick me off! lol

[hidden_away]

Farmers walk, Wrist rollers and hammer curls made my forearms grow. I will never have huge forearms as its not in my genetics though. I have really small wrists.

I'm sure it's done this to me. Probably because I've been hypogonadal for so long.

Would you guys say this guy honestly did this naturally? The time limit is a year.

I just doubt it because he was working out 6 days a week....

Yeah quite possibly. Look at his starting weight 200 odd lbs. So he has a lot of his final muscle already there. You don't know what his training history is. He could have been in that shape the year before but just let it slide. Getting back into shape you once possessed is easier than forging new territories. Simply dialling in his diet would have achieved much of that look as he doesn't look that much bigger just a lot more ripped.

I used to work out 6 days a week natural. It's entirely plausible. You just have to manage your recovery adequately. And that was powerlifting 6 days a week, running 4 miles every other day whilst boxing 3 times a week.

Damn mate, that's an intense workout cycle. Was your diet spot on? Did you feel like dead lifts added much back mass and strength? A lot of people swear by them but I never had much success with them. I was deadlifting 1x5 120 kg. I couldn't go higher as my grip would give way.

Yeah my diet was good. 3000kcal a day just to maintain. Lots of sleep. Easy job with little physical demands. And that was using a Westside Barbell workout with 3 days of heavy and 3 days of speed lifting. So not as demanding as it sounds.

Don't know what grip you used but I would use a mixed grip for heavy lifts and practiced a hook grip ala olympic lifts for the rest. Hurt my thumbs a lot at first but then I got used to it. Also are you using chalk? Helps a bunch. I worked my grip a lot though with static holds and fat bar lifts. Got to 200kg for my best with a mixed grip, no wraps.

And deads definitely increase thickness. They were my least favourite of the big three but they were what I was best at. Got to go easy on them though due to the high CNS demand or you'll burn out. I only trained them once a week or less. As my squat and assistance work improved so naturally did my DL's.

No I never did Mixed grip mate, I never did my 1rep max either to be honest. I didn't do dealifts to much. I mad a lot of mistakes and was using programs from the damn mens health mags.... I think that's just says how miss led I was in the weights world.

When I go back Im doing starting strength for 3 months and then I will do a modified version of west side for skinny bastards ver III.

200kg is good mate. That's some serious weight you were pulling there! Did your forearms and grip get much stronger? I have ALWAYS had weak forearms. Even with all the lifting I did. I have never done direct grip/forearm work though. Something I will be changing. I blame that down to genetics though, I was very small wrists. 6.5 inches I think. Just a small bone structure really.

I dunno. I have skinny wrists (just measured 7"), small bone structure but my forearms pumped up quite a bit. Lots of pulling and jerking I had some Captains of Crush grippers too. I got told off at work for over tightening things so no one could undo them, so I definitely fixed my grip weakness.

My grip was my weak point so I made it a focal point. Always believed you should work what you are weak at. Whatever you hate training, that's what you should train!

[GhostOnMagneticTape]

I haven't read all of this thread but I think body building is one way to overcome various physical and mental health problems. I think what you eat also comes down into the equation, lots of body builders are raw vegans as with cooking you loose a lot of the vital nutrients (as primarily cooking is about satisfying ones' appetite and taste buds). I could never turn raw vegan totally but have found benefits in eating more raw food weekly (think nuts, seeds and veg).

Seriously? That's interesting, I assume then because of that it's not what they look like but the appeal of the roids. Is it because it's a bit of a taboo thing?
