Concept floated by the aesthetics crew long ago. I think shoulders are harder to develop and require more work, but ultimately result in a much more important factor in terms of appearance than say quads or triceps. With that said, on shoulder day, I still do my calves and abs.

I literally hold the world record for most hair follicles transplanted. And I'm being completely serious.
I've been posting on the misc about my hair transplant journey for 10 full years.

His youtube channel is top notch

**** you, got that Fight Club looking doing on......

Imagine a 28 year old trying to convince himself that 300-500 is normal.......

OP is absolutely full of chit claiming he raised his test 400ng/dl by eating "lots of eggs and meat and following a mostly keto diet". He's on Mike O'Hearn and liverking level of quackery at this point. Op is definitely on some form of "supplementation", most likely either trt or enclomafene.

I disagree. And I’ve heard that metaphor. But the relationship doesn’t seem to be merely correlation. But it’s primarily the ApoB/lipoproteins, as they are the ones transporting the ldl

Don't think it's bs, Broyo. Test it yourself. When I take zinc before bed I need to piss at night 100% and wake up with a third arm between the legs. Dont take it and sleep through like a baby.

Primal-style diet, full-body compound lifting, and a vitD/zinc/fenugreek

Biggest compliment a natty can get is to be accused of being on exogenous test
