Some bodybuilding blackpills:
- Although it is true that a V taper is attractive to foids, you can't get one by growing your lats. At best, lats enhance a V taper when one is already present. The only way to get a true V taper is to have wide clavicles relative to your pelvis and not be super fat. You might squeeze another inch or two into your shoulders with years of consistent medial deltoid work, but you ultimately can't beat your genetics.
- An easy way to tell if you're a hard gainer is to divide your wrist circumference by your height. If it's much less than 0.11, and especially if it's less than 0.10, you have a thin bone structure, and building muscle is going to be hard for you. The only advantage you have over others is you can look muscular without a lot of muscle, but you have to be lean for this to work, since you can also look fat without a lot of fat, and fat covers muscle. Alternatively, you can wrap your thumb and middle finger around your wrist and see if they overlap. If they do, you're a thin-boned hard gainer.
- Some people don't respond to training at all. If you're one of these people, you can eat 5000 calories a day for months and bench press the bar until you puke, but all you'll do is get fat and never move much past the bar. Alternatively, some people can juggle pink dumbbells while jumping on a pogo stick, and they'll get ripped and massive in less than a year off a diet of poison ivy and bark. They're what we in the incelosphere call "Chads". Some of them are "juiceheads". There's a fair bit of overlap between these two groups.
- The person you were as a child largely influences the person you can potentially become today and thereafter. If you were a fat kid, you were cursed with adipocyte hyperplasia, and getting lean is going to be a nightmare as you suffer through 1200 calorie crash diets for the same fat loss results as Chad eating at your maintenance, and quadruple the muscle loss. If you were a skinny boy, you'll have a very hard time putting on mass, especially if you're tall and/or thin-boned. If you were both skinny and fat... good grief.
- Gynecomastia is permanent and can only be removed surgically. Even after surgery, your chest will never be completely normal.
- If you're lean and somewhat muscular but thin-boned, any shirt that isn't tight like a catsuit will make you look like you're 90 pounds soaking wet on Jupiter. You may have to shop in the kids' section for clothes.
