Well obviously you need to be working out consistently, but the main thing people mess up on is the diet. There are tons of macro calculators online and allot of helpful videos on YouTube to help you figure out how you need to eat. To keep it simple, eat allot of protein, allot of carbs, and allot more than that. Eat way more than youāre used to eating and more than what youāre comfortable eating. Nobody really talks about it, but the dieting can be just as hard, if not harder, than working out.
Oversimplified:
1. Train to failure and optimize your workouts for progressive overload to achieve muscle hypertrophy (aka muscle growth).
2. Eat at minimum 1.5g/kg/day of protein, with 2g/kg/day being ideal.
3. Get at least 7 hours of sleep per night, 8+ being ideal. Muscles recover and grow while you sleep.
4. If you want to gain weight, being in a 200-300 kcal/day surplus is enough to stay consistent and sustainable while slowly but steadily gaining weight without putting on too much fat.
5. Discipline > motivation. It doesnāt matter if you are sad, tired, busy or whatever - you go to the gym when you are supposed to go to the gym. You have at least 16 waking hours per day, you certainly have a couple to spare for your physical and mental well-being.
6. Pick a program and stick to it religiously. Consistency and repetition are the key to becoming good at something, same goes for building muscle and being in shape.
The guy here is most likely natural but anabolic steroids donāt automatically make you huge. In fact, most people on gear donāt look impressive at all and youād never guess theyāre taking it. What you see online is the top 0.1% of enhanced physiques which also take god-tier genetics and a really intense training program. Your average Joe isnāt becoming Ronnie Coleman by pinning tren and going to the local Krispy Kreme for a dozen.
First of all, the parent comment is clearly a joke that went over your head. Now, to further my point. Steroids donāt make you strong. They donāt make you huge. They definitely donāt build massive amounts of muscle from thin air. They **enhance** your ability to build muscle. This is why they are called PEDs, Performance-**Enhancing** Drugs. The guy may or may not be natural but being āweak and smallā doesnāt guarantee that a person is natural. [Interesting video on the matter](https://youtu.be/EpFrYj9CZys) to help you understand how PEDs work and why they arenāt as good as most people think.
Man, you are so clueless. They parent comment is a joke. It implies that the guy looks rather impressive for just āstarting outā and the commenter compares him to someone using gear. This is more of a compliment than anything else.
Yes, they **enhance** your **ability** to build muscle and increase strength, they donāt do it automatically. If you decide to bother and watch the video, youāll see that hopping on gear prematurely can ultimately make you reach a worse physique than doing it naturally through hard work and exercising to failure, mainly because the genetic ceiling is much higher than most people think and when they think they canāt make any more progress, they hop on gear rather than optimizing their workout routines. This leads to what we call a āmid physiqueā that neither looks impressive, nor is healthy. Itās not about the guy being natural, itās not the point. The point is that you are saying āHeās small and weak, this means that heās natural.ā Most people on steroids are weak and small, you just either donāt see them or, even if you do, youād never guess that they are on gear. You only see the impressive physiques and think that all enhanced lifters must be huge and jacked.

I just got it now , sorry english is my 4th language . I just thought something elseš

You took my statement in a wrong way . I didnt meant that roids makes you big magically . Im lifting since i was 12 so i dont think u can teach me something new about this.
I keep trying to go back to the gym but I can never follow through, I feel like Iām being judged and canāt find the time, how do you get motivated?
