natty lifting is a scam
Let's be real.
99% of you are wasting your time in the gym. If you’re natty, you’re never gonna be big. Period. You’ll either look like a skinny dude with “good lighting” abs, or you’ll look like a soft fat guy coping with “powerlifter aesthetics.” That’s it. Those are your two options.
“Oh but muh strength!” Who cares? Nobody gives a fuck how much you deadlift. Bench 3 plates? Cool, you still look like a regular dude in a hoodie. Meanwhile Chad on TRT looks like a superhero just by existing.
And don’t give me the “health benefits” cope either. You could just do cardio, eat plants, play a sport, maybe sprinkle in compounds twice a week and get all the health you need without making lifting your full-time religion. Tracking protein and eating the same dry chicken breast every day isn’t “healthy,” it’s autism.
Confidence? LMAO. Most bodybuilders are insecure, even the roided ones. You think getting an extra inch on your arms will fix your self-esteem? It won’t. Go learn a martial art, or even better, learn how to debate. Kicking someone’s ass — physically or intellectually — gives you more confidence than another year of grinding through plateaus for a 0.5lb gain on your biceps.
Here’s the truth nobody wants to hear: natty lifting is fun for maybe the first 1–2 years while you’re riding newbie gains. After that, it’s monotony, plateaus, and diminishing returns forever. Unless you hop on gear, you’re basically LARPing as a bodybuilder with no payoff.
So yeah, cope harder about “longevity” or “discipline,” but deep down you know I’m right.
Enjoy your chicken and broccoli, bros.

Find roided physiques like the ones on the right attractive.
Ask any man that has taken steroids which gets attention from. Gay faggots and fat dumb hogs.

If my living depended on my physique and strength, sure, I'd leave my natty card behind. It would make sense.
If you're an enthusiast lifter, a hobbyist, an amateur, why the fuck would you sacrifice your health for? Makes no sense.

The first thing they teach you in rehab is that drug addicts like to see other people taking drugs because it validates their addict behavior.
Steroids absolutely WILL fuck with your health permanently.
You absolutely do NOT keep your gains after you stop roiding
drug addicts will fight to the death to lie to new lifters about the reality of both of these points because it validates their drug use, despite all the scientific and historical evidence

Isn't training and watching your body change even if its a little fun? Sounds like alot of you guys are just miserable

Because yes, doing bloodwork and managing all sorts of health side effects is fun.

And then you'll have a ruined endocrine system. It can actually hurt your long term strength progress to do this.

Your entire post is basically appealing to the notion that you can only lift in order to cater to what others will think of you. There are many other reasons to lift such as health, discipline, better endurance in an activity you perform, or simply just because you enjoy it.
To me OP your whole post reeks of a rationalization you are making because you want to tell yourself that you don't need to lift. Perhaps you're fine with your sedentary lifestyle, your obesity and the lack of strength in your body and that is fine. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for it, you deserve to be happy. It's no one's concern how you decide to live your life.

if you wanna get good at something that requires strength and power that isn't the gym itself, natty lifting is the best non-sketchy option...desu even if all you do is stretch and get a massage you sleep better when you're physically tired

I'll bite. I've been natty lifting for like ten years and I'm 5"7 and 67kg, earlier this year I was 78kg so I've done a big cut.
I get compliments on my body by normies who recognise me as a "gym guy" even at work but by no means am I a big dude, just leanish.
I went from 69kg to 78kg in a year after finally starting to track my calories and do a bulk under the advice of a personal trainer .
The biggest challenge is consistency, smart programming and diet.
I neglected diet for like 9 years and saw shit results.
So I believe 95% of people won't succeed because they haven't got the knowledge or guidance or discipline to calorie track and eat healthy as well as plan their training.
The other point is we need to stop comparing ourselves to Mr Olympias and roid heads.
We have jobs, lives and other hobbies outside of lifting.
One day I want to compete in an amateur bodybuilding show because fitness is a passion of mine but it isn't my entire life and it doesn't pay the bills.
If you start a family, or have a more demanding job, or a mental health breakdown or injury etc,
Maintaining a physique or increasing your strength becomes a lot more difficult.
I am so grateful I get to go to the gym almost every day and I look better than 90% of the people in the street and even at my shitty commerical gym.
I've trained at more bodybuilding style gyms previously and I enjoyed it too with the better equipment but I'm broke and can't afford multiple memberships with the travel I do.
Who gives a fuck.
I'm natty and I enjoy natty lifting and I actually love my body the way it is and I don't need to compare myself.
I also decided i don't want to be stuck on TRT for the rest of my life chasing a physique.
That shit is expensive and if anything were to happen to me where i couldn't keep using steroids my health would suffer.
the end of the day, simply going to the gym, eating a somewhat structured diet and being active puts you ahead of most people and your already a success
