Wherever I went, it was always with me. I could neither see it nor touch and yet my whole presence was subject to it. I wasn’t free. I had a master, an oppressor. At first, I tried to live with it. “At least, others can’t see it. That’s good enough,” I thought. But as time passed, […]
The one and only website NattyOrNot.com came to this world 2 years ago, but the events that led to its creation go back a whole decade. A decade full of mad stories, sick obsession, retardism, delusions, frustration, endless hours in forums, starvation, bulking, culking, cutting, screams, grunting, sweat, mockery, and emotional pain. Believe it or […]
Admit it! The first time your biceps grew by an inch, your inner self transposed up to a higher, celestial octave. Your fingers started shaking, and the measuring tape slid down towards the ground like a spiral fading into the harmonious and peaceful water. One by one the objects in the room received a powerful […]
Dedicated to those who get horny from watching bodybuilders shop in supermarkets. Many online videos in the muscle sector reveal the eating habits of pro bodybuilders and their little brothers from the aesthetic crew also known as the Lower Doses Crew. The muscle warriors experience great pleasure from filming food trips during which they acquire […]
I had an hour or two to kill and decided to visit the mall nearby. The tropical weather outside trying to set my hair on fire kinda pushed me in, to be honest. The fellow humanoids coming in and out of the polished glossy stores appeared happy and content to live a dream that somebody […]
Holidays are overrated. Why? First, you need a holiday to recover from the holiday. Second, a week is just not enough. Before you know it, you come back, restart the machine and spin the wheel for the rest of year. The holiday drama reminds me of the widely spread idea that your prom night is […]
The number of crazy things that I have seen in this muscle game can cause serious brain damage and lower your IQ really fast. If there was therapy for that, I would probably pay to get it off my chest. Luckily, I can get away with it for free by just sharing some of this […]
Making a straightforward natty or not diagnosis is not always possible. There is a specific group of muscle constructors that don’t jump out of the page as easily as men like Kali Muscle. Those individuals are muscular, but not very lean. Usually, they are also pretty strong for the average gym standards – benching 300lbs, barbell rowing 275 lbs, […]
The so-called “noob gains” represent the 5-10lbs of muscle gained during the first 6-12 months of serious training. Those will be easiest and fastest gains that you will acquire as a lifter. Past that point, the progress will slow down tremendously. Noob gains differ from person to person. If you are really skinny, I mean […]
A few years ago I got extremely frustrated with my lack of muscular size. I was still looking for a way to hack the system and acquire a respectable physical development that would earn me the right to flex in public. During one of my desperate quests for muscle glory, I found online posts which […]
For many years, I have been trying to find the secret to bigger muscles. In this post, I will share my observations on the most common roads to hypertrophy. Strength = Muscle size? Many gurus (e.g., Mark Rippetoe, Lyle McDonald, Pavel Tsatsouline) have been saying for years that more weight on the bar equals bigger muscles […]
About a year ago, I wrote the guide How Big Can You Get Naturally. It reveals how much growth lifters can expect without steroids. I am sorry, but nothing has changed. Actually, I think that the numbers are even lower for the average person. Many people ask me how I came up with the numbers […]
