I'm relatively new to weight training. How much would you need to lift to have a body similar to Mac's? I know the aim is to continually increase the amount you can lift but I've genuinely no idea when looking at various physiques how much they'd roughly be able to and it'd be nice to have a mental benchmark to be working towards. |

It doesn't really work like that. Looking at that photo I can't tell how much they can lift or what workouts they do— just that the body fat is low enough to show muscle. I've also no idea what size you are (or what weight training you're doing), if you were 70kg and 5' 5" your average would be lower than if you were 100kg and 6' 2" (for example, strengthlevel puts the benchpress of a 70kg beginner at 43kg, while for a 100kg beginner it's 70kg). |

Let's say I don't want to get swole, I don't want to end up big and noticably muscular, because I feel like those kind of lads project HEY I'VE GOT A REALLY SMALL DICK LOOK HOW INSECURE I AM at the speed of sound and there's only a specific kind of intensely vapid woman to show for it? |

I'm not OP, but I've also looked at McElhenney and thought how great it would be to have his body. I've also read and listened to what he has said about such a body being attainable for the average person and nodded wisely. But that doesn't mean you can't take some tips from how he got there. For instance he said give up alcohol - I don't drink anyway so I'm halfway there. |

I think I've hit my first obstacle. I don't have any form of rack so for squats I'm lifting it off the floor and putting it on my back; now I'm up to 37kg it can be a bit of a challenge getting it over my head. It's putting a bit of a strain on my shoulders and upper arms, particularly getting it back over my head and to the floor again, which I think is why I'm struggling to progress beyond 30kg with the overhead press. |

Can someone explain the deal with steroids? As someone entering the long dark thirties and gaining belly fat and erectile dysfunction and the like, I naturally want to understand The Reason for this and I'm told it's because of a natural decrease in testosterone production. OK that's fine, but death is also 'natural' and that doesn't mean we don't use modern medical science to try and avoid it. |
