1. There's a cap on how much muscle you can put on anyways, and the bulky look is basically coping if you aren't attractive, home gym for me would be just to be fit and athletic, not buff
You must be talking about the absolute limit. In fact, this limit exists, but it is not easily achieved. If you exercise without proper techniques, at a very low volume, your growth limit will be far below the absolute limit. The same can be said if you do not have adequate diet or adequate rest.
In fact, the only way to reach the absolute natural limit is with the use of anabolic steroids. When you use it, you will exceed its natural limit. When you stop using it, your muscles will gradually recede until it stops at the absolute natural limit. But even anabolic steroids do nothing without proper workout, diet and rest.
2. Don't tell me you're one of those guys that thinks you have to do a 100 secret variations in an exercise in other to put on muscle, last time I checked all the buff men of the past didn't have all these techniques, the basics are very effective
It has no relation to performing secret techniques. It has to do with stimulating different muscles.
Each exercise stimulates a different muscle or muscle group. The same exercise can stimulate different muscles by simply rotating the wrist or by the angle of the execution. Some muscles can only be recruited with very specific exercises.
You still have to consider that the exercise will only take effect for some time. Afterwards, the muscle becomes resistant to exercise, which has no further effect. So that muscle needs to be pushed aside to focus on other muscles.
You also err in supposing that ancient men had a shape superior to that of present men. The level reached by current men, which is enhanced by years of studies, advanced technologies, supplementation, hormones, is unparalleled in human history.
1. You're right, I'm going to have a lot more motivation with phat asses stretched in yoga pants in front of my face while being sexually starved, or by seeing Chad (and men with better bodies than me) show off at the gym (are you even thinking this through)
You see chads and stacies all the time everywhere, including at work and college, unless you stay locked at home all day. I do not see how this could be a disincentive.
We also have to mention that in the morning there are no chads and stacys. There are only the elderly.
2. If you don't have the motivation to do something at home, how motivated are you going to be to even travel to a gym to then do what you don't want to do at home, that's two excuses not to exercise rather than one, if all your equipment is at home you only have procrastination blocking you, if you have to go to a gym you have procrastination, transportation costs, social anxiety, etc.
It would be great if everyone had the motivation you suppose to have to work out at home. The reality is much more cruel. The only thing I want to do at home is relax, forget work and life and LDAR here in this forum.
It should also be mentioned that work out requires increasing effort. You must demand of yourself more and more. And it becomes very difficult to demand more and more of you precisely in the place where your brain has conditioned you to relax.
At some point I'm just going to start doing a body weight exercise routine though, I found a download for an athlean-X system (was really hard to find), entire routine is just body weight exercises, more suited to my goals (fitness over bulk). Bulk just isn't efficient for a small build, only copers try to bulk up if they're short, you look like a pudgy mess at the end of it all, and you lose the only perk of being small, SPEED.
Athlete routines do not apply to you. Their ability to regenerate muscle fibers is far below their ability. Athletes are not human beings, they are demons from another dimension.
Another point is that you have specific muscles that need to be worked on. Just as I and anyone else have specific weaknesses, so do you, and you need to explore these weaknesses. A personal trainer would be the most appropriate to tell you which points should be worked first. But an academy instructor would already be reasonable.
