That being said, it feels great and, as long as you don\u2019t overdo it, it\u2019s great for you. If you ever start reading about weight lifting online then just keep this in mind: you do not need to take any supplements. If you start reading about weight lifting online, you\u2019ll find that there are some guys who have this ridiculous regimen of like\u2026 drink a protein shake, eat spoonfuls of pure creatine, smoke some Viagra, snort HGH \u2014 that\u2019s not actually a real example, but bottom line is a teenage boy doesn\u2019t need to take any nutritional supplements for working out.<br /><br />Try to do exercises aside from just lifting too, like get things like sit ups and push ups in as well. But again, don\u2019t try to overdo it. If it starts to hurt, you\u2019re probably overdoing it.", "user": "antimonypentafluoride" }, { "id": "1271078", "time": "1677275229", "html": "I will avoid supplements and instead eat my brocli. Thank you chemical man.<br /><br />Also, I have been doing other exercises too, for a while now. Thanks man.

If you ever wanna be freaked out, go to bodybuilding.com and use their search engine for the words \u201cpre work out\u201d or \u201cstack.\u201d These dudes will list everything they take on a daily basis and before a workout and it can get terrifying. Dude was mixing shit tons of caffeine and ephedrine with absurd amounts of creatine and protein.<br /><br />The sad part is that a lot of it is dudes who like\u2026 just don\u2019t feel secure in their own bodies? You know what I mean, the kinds of guys who want to look like the fucking Hulk and think that\u2019s what it means to have a \u201cman\u2019s\u201d body or be \u201cmanly\u201d. <br /><br />Sucks for them because the amount of muscle you can actually build has a genetic cap. After a work out when your muscles get damaged and then start to tell themselves \u201cokay I got damaged (atrophy), I\u2019m gonna grow to larger than I was before I got damaged (hypertrophy) so that when I get damaged the next time, it won\u2019t be as bad.\u201d But after they grow larger to a certain extent, they release a protein called Myostatin that says \u201cOkay stop growing now, that\u2019s enough.\u201d And how much Myostatin you release is controlled entirely by your genes. The more you produce, the lesser muscle you can gain. This has led to some psychotic motherfuckers deciding to take drugs known to stop the release of Myostatin. It\u2019s also led to selective breeding of cows that produce very little Myostatin. <br /><br />Like here\u2019s a picture of a bull bred to produce very little Myostatin <a href=\"https://preview.redd.it/3ucx0yfzu0n41.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=5523a3ece89e860cb970dfb9ff8421538786eb5c\">Link</a>. Dude\u2019s even buff around his freaking *eyes*<br /><br />^This might be useful to know by the way, ackyyackyattack. However regardless of how much Myostatin your genes cause you to produce, you will indeed gain muscle mass through exercise.<br /><br />Edit: lol just remembered, one of my roommates used to lift a lot and he had this preworkout blend he\u2019d buy and it was called motherfucking Psychotic and the company that made it was called Insane Labz.
