I was a record holding powershitter when I was a NEET. I don't think I'm particularly gifted, just when you aren't energy fucked by a job your body does what it's truly capable of. Within the first 2 weeks I started working, all my lifts went down and it was just a downward spiral of mediocrity and injuries. I've never been able to make much progress ever since. Have had a couple breaks of unemployment, and those are the only times I can make gains both in strength and aesthetics. It's fucking insane, like eating or sleeping doesn't matter, THAT'S the factor that gives gains vs none. It probably has to do with stress, the stress hormones suppressing test or something.
