This isn't talent, it's just steroids. It's almost funny how someone can look at that picture and not think of that.

- n4r9 1y agoI mean, it's going to be steroids plus genetics plus a massive amount of effort. Few people can look like that after one year of lifting, no matter how hard they try.
- Etheryte 1y agoYes, you still gotta put in the hours even if you do steroids, but calling it talent is like saying someone is a talented cyclist when they're riding an e-bike against a regular bike.
- n4r9 1y agoDo you think you can apply the word "talent" to someone who instinctively knows how to the various exercises should work, how to use good form to maximise muscle tension and minimise injury risk, how to vary the exercises to hit different muscles etc..? It feels similar to saying someone is talented at football (soccer) if they instinctively know how to make tackles and kick the ball accurately.
