i mean i have no idea how common hgh is in celebrity anabolic stacks, we can only guess whether he actually used it

also as much as I like to call out celebrity anabolic use it does kind of seem like he's getting more flack for it than most white actors have.

he did have one of the most dramatic transformations though.

like, chris 1 and chris 2 were already beefy when they got famous so it wasn't that dramatic when they bulked up even more for the later movies. though it is still noticeable when you put screenshots from e.g. thor 1 and thor 3 side by side.

kumail was famous for playing pudgy javascript developer, so when he suddenly looks like conan the iranian it's gonna raise some eyebrows.

chris 3 also got a lot of flak when he got shredded for marvel stuff because he was already famous for playing fat andy.






i know kumail is pakistani but i wanted the pun to work

Yeah those are good points, I just wish they could be a little more open about their use because I think people are starting to develop unrealistic expectations of what a genetically average, drug-free dude can look like. on the other hand them being more open about it may encourage more kids to try them which would be bad so who can say

maybe it could get to the place where pro body builders are, where they legally need to claim that they don't use steroids but everyone knows what the deal is and no one's confused or arguing (except for the natural bodybuilding categories where everyone gets to argue again)

I kinda doubt that you're using anabolic/androgenic steroids, which are really their own thing.

It happened during the pandemic and people were bored.

Social media has become even worse than before.

Racism definitely played a factor, too.

Nanjani's transformation was pretty extreme, even by celebrity standards.

He also immediately got in his feelings about it instead of just remembering he's rich and loving off to an island full of other Greek gods, so insecure nerds immediately doubled down on it.

In conclusion, Kumail's body is a land of veiny contrasts.

Don't be so sure! Excess testosterone is converted via aromatase to estradiol.

Hence bitch tits and tiny balls

pro bodybuilders apparently use novaldex (technically a drug for breast cancer) to avoid this, well the tits anyway

afaik the small balls are caused by the testosterone itself, so there isn't really a solution for it

Trust me it's probably the estrogen lol

As for Nolvadex, it acts as a selective estrogen antagonist, binding to estrogen receptors but not stimulating them to action in some tissues, primarily titty tissues or bapmeats (stop me if I'm getting too technical)

In other tissues it can act as an estradiol agonist which may include helping put your balls on a bullet train to Tinytown

there is no magic secret resistance exercise, or order of doing them, that is going to provide some huge advantage over any reasonable resistance training plan you can google.

same story with any reasonable diet with enough protein, other nutrients, total calories, etc. there is no magic.

my big fat uncle weighing in at around 180k got invited by his college buddies to go on a boat trip to Antartica and he did a simple regime of treadmill, low carb/sugars and something he called a ramekin diet, where portions were allocated by a single ramekin. he lost 75kg in about a year or so.

then covid stopped people travelling and so he’s been eating like crazy the last 18 months and he’s back to where he started. shame.

anyway. that’s my big fat uncle story.

very true, however it is less magical to motivate one's self and commit, or to find the time to hit the gym for 2 hours a day 5-6 times a week (per the its always sunny guy's post, and per what i can find about the workout THERE'S YOUR MEAL PLAN KORMAK)

which is why i wager he hired that guy, and why the guy lets the info go for so cheaply

rich people also have access to chefs, or pre-prepared food, or have more time and resources to cook, plus time and resources to go to the gym or furnish a fully equipped fully gym at home, and most important of all, are directly monetarily rewarded for getting fit.

regular people, even privileged people like most who post here, are at a severe disadvantage to achieve these kinds of results.
