>Been lifting for a year
>Still don't know what hypertrophy is, or how muscles get bigger, I just train until failure
>Look up videos on how muscle actually works and how to build it

>Apparently skeletal muscle tissue (the muscles you actually train for) don't divide and replicate, they just get bigger
>Meaning if you have a serious accident and tear a muscle, it will never regenerate and get back to normal, it will try to fix itself but get replaced with scar tissue
I no longer want to work out

>>76585754 (OP)
3 things: eat, sleep, train

if you are not growing, then review each of these. assuming you are eating and sleeping sufficiently, do review your training. are you performing with proper forms? do you feel ur muscle fibers? is your ROM intact? are you sure you are stretching and contracting sufficiently rather than throwing weights? try training at different tempos slow or fast, and determine what works for u.

if none of these work, do consider your age, blood work panel, genetics, etc.

I tore my back working and it was fine after a month

>>76585754 (OP)
I've been working out for half a year and got mad gains, especially in my back and shoulders, lmao, you're a bitch.

why is brachialis sarker than biceps lol
are preacher curls an scam?

>>76586048
>why is brachialis darker than biceps lol
>are preacher curls an scam?
is it maybe because preachers don't preclude front delt from pinching long head of biceps maybe bitch bot gpt?
>>76586013
>and biceps can't be worked with curls cause u're stabilizing humerus staying vertical the other way around with deltoid which pinches long head at shoulder tendon which will fuck up entire biceps but long especially, pinched muscle can't hold contraction - presented by van dam here is properly developed long head of biceps
>so u need to lock humerus in place to allow relaxed delt - sit on bench and lean on elbow/forearm with dumbbell in hand, supinate and flex biceps - now it can work and it will grow
u need support under elbow/forearm not under humerus bot bottomoto :D

>preachers don't preclude delt from flexingand pinching biceps bot and are widely know to fuck biceps :D

>>Apparently skeletal muscle tissue don't divide and replicate
This isn't exactly true, but it's 99% true
Hyperplasia of muscle can occur for example if you take roids, or if you do very high level training - though I assume you're a functioning male with T in your blood and none of this is really a concern
>Meaning if you have a serious accident and tear a muscle, it will never regenerate and get back to normal, it will try to fix itself but get replaced with scar tissue
Definitely false, muscle is actually one of the places the body prefers not to put scar tissue because it has to be usable

>>76585754 (OP)
it's really simple. you just need stimulus, food, and recovery time

>>76586771
food and recovery u're gonna get anyways D:
so it's entirely about stimuli bot-bottomer xD
>>76586118
>can occur for example if you take roids,
>can lol
yes lol u are certainly fucking up endocrine system - say hello to lifelong lack of properly functioning balls condition :D

naw that i look again at vlads columinous roidous bloat outline of adductor muscles and procimal to hip joint vastus lateralis spread like an butterfly i can't think of anything but squatting to like like they :D
i really need that look to my bottom :D
yes and the nonexistent calves
is there anything there?
>bla blah u can clearly see and bump around where gastroc is about to be
:D
an bump ?
that's 70% of leg u are showing in any kind of reasonable shorts lol :D

>>76585754 (OP)
Look at roiders hands they get way bigger into training and it looks odd compared to their frame/forearms and is a softer bone that takes less load and nobody trains shit that makes hands denser. Youll also notice their frames grow horizontally, ronnie didnt have the same frame at 18yo even though he was roiding super early.

what is this image supposed to convey

>>76586963
you're rambling like crackhead.
Steroids grow muscle. There are muscles in the hands and fingers. That's why hands get bigger.
There are muscles in the shoulder. That's why frames get wider.

first panel
calf raises are retarded - will fuck up gastrocnemius because it's rubbing on bones of knee joint (the pain in back of knee when u try maxing out calf raises), gastrocnemius bends the knee u need knee bending movement to grow gastrocnemius, not knee extending movement

second panel
mitboe mogging the pictogram colored man with properly developped gastrocnemius, mitbo is and climber, when magnus mitboe cloombs he hangs of his heels

3rd panel
batman's got some calves on him, not much bloat in thighs and adductors though
>what's that got to do with anything
this IS the superhero physique, not pictured lol
even when u look at superman or sth - they all got massive calves that at least match muscular thighs
