For everyone that keeps saying it's just the Duck Eggs....

I got to 215lbs completely natural only training limbs. Which was 25lbs more than my biggest when I could previously train everything. I did start eating the duck eggs in 2025 tho.

Time, consistency, and levelling up the focus/intensity all took time to build. Even though I was more limited exercise wise, I managed to gain more total mass by developing these other principles.

My whole upper body grew substantially from maxing 2 arm exercises, NATURALLY. The same process has continued since going enhanced, but the ceiling on growth has been lifted.

Never advocating to anyone to willingly only train arms. Most of the muscle you build will come from levelling up your consistency, intensity, and progressive overload. I can still control all 3 of those, even with a super limited routine otherwise.

There are always more levels to take your consistency, intensity, and progression. But most ppl dont...bc it's hard. It's easier to watch another science video overanalyzing the eccentric.

I would give anything to be able to train chest, back, and shoulders again. Heck, even just a few different arm exercises would be nice!

Being able to do a few different leg exercises would be a real treat too. For now, I'm stuck with bulgarian split squats or stationary lunges. With all the cool new machines nowadays I really feel like I'm missing out sometimes and I get bummed.

But that's not my path. This is my path. I will continue to show up and maximize what I can do within my limitations.

I understand that it is a difficult issue to grasp. It took me years to understand what was going on myself. Countless misdiagnoses and the next professional lining up to claim they'll 'fix me'.

In the end, I learned enough to understand the issue to be able to manage it. 2 hours of stretching and mobility before every workout. Untangle the crooked mess long enough to push some MFin weight!

If you want to understand more watch my pinned posts or head to my YT channel, I have several videos explaining everything in detail.

Life aint ideal, but I chose to fight. I hope to continue to inspire you guys. All of you that are supportive, it means the world, thankyou.

planning a fall cut to showcase the newly acquired meat. Also, the legs are almost at 28 inches.

Been stuck at 10 reps for a few weeks. Finally cranked 11 today. Nothing feels better than logging that extra rep after you been stuck.

Tried making a bunch of different adjustments to frequency, volume, weight, intensity to break out of the plateau. They all failed.

Finally had a breakthrough this week by switching 1 of the arm days to a light weight pump focused day.

I think this significantly reduced my CNS fatigue and allowed me to come into this session with more POWER.

Always tinkering to find the next edge.

I'd give my left nut to hit a set of bench. Been 11 long years...

In the meantime, i'll get everything I can out of the overhead milkers.
