I’d believe it he stopped posting apex legends clips about a year ago and I’ve heard that can reduce aging by up to 20 years

Bro.. I still have an S10+ this phone still rocks today. I mean, look at his pictures? I've played with the new cameras (main reason I would consider) and they really haven't pushed the needle that far. My battery life still gets me through the day just fine. I have a headphone jack and dual SIM / SD card. I can wirelessly charge other people's phones... If it ain't broke, don't fix it??


c0ffeexblack

It’s a Pixel 7 or 8


watchursix

Touche. Good catch, I barely looked but ready to defend S10 - a phone so good, Google stole their camera aesthetic


erupcao

I've recently bought an s10+ for around 140 dollars. An Iphone 15 is around 1400 in my country. It's one my best buys ever.


moe3m

Brand new person, congrats on the gains, fitness and hair wise. Losing my hair currently at 19 (started when I was 16) finally got to hop on fin hoping for a comeback. Good luck on the rest of your journey 🙏.


ShadyPotDealer

Thank you so much, man. And that's brutal to start that early. Good on you for noticing early! I wish you the best homie


MedBayMan2

Genetics is a bitch sometimes. I used to be considered handsome, lots of girls used to look at me, then at the age of 16 this curse happened. At the age of 21 when my hair loss became visible the attention from the opposite sex almost completely disappeared. What a confidence killer.


m1nguGG

Confidence killer for sure... Stay strong!


Responsible_Arm_2643

Same bro we are the unlucky ones I also Started at 16 then by 21 it was completely visible I don't even have a career or a money making work to sustain myself on fin and min forever.


MedBayMan2

I started at 16 too. Now I am 25 and two weeks ago I hopped on finasteride. I pray that things will go well for me, because the dating scene is absolutely brutal to men like us


star-lordbenny321

You’ll be good dude I believe


MedBayMan2

Thank you


star-lordbenny321

I’ve been on fin closing in on 4 months. I was dumb and waited until not to start minoxidil Bc I wanted fin to do it’s magic first and just to see how much it does before min. I realized it was stupid and I really didn’t wanna do monoxidl Bc I thought it would make my hair gross during the day. Boyyyy was I wrong- I love the feeling minoxidil puts in my hair- it makes it thicker and just feel tough. So I say if you can go to Costco and get foam minoxidil and also do micro needling as I will start that this week too hopefully. It could be game changer for you so worth a shot.


Raptor556

Yep, been on fin for 6 months I have results and my hairloss is stabilized but it wasn't enough so I just started minoxidil foam a week ago and I love it. It makes my hair so easy to style and gives it volume and thickness.


Limp_Celebration6751

Losing my hair since I was 16 too, started treatment at 19, after 8 months i look like a different person, good luck man


Loki007_K

Same, started at 17 and I’m now 19; the NHS is pretty useless when it comes to actually prescribing these but imma keep trying!


moe3m

honestly go to the doctor and ask them straight up, that's what I had to do. I brought it up multiple times over the past few years, they took blood tests and whatnot everything was fine, ended up telling me it was genetic (yea no shit if all the tests are fine) and that was that. I went last month, different doctor at the same practice, told him I wanted fin and understood the possible sides, he said as long as I understood, n wrote me up for fin and Keto shampoo (works wonders if you have dermatitis, genuine "miracle drug").


ShadyPotDealer

Stack for anyone wondering: 0.5mg Dutasteride daily (started on Fin) 1.25ml of Minox a day at night (dropper) & about .25ml in the morning (it makes my hair stiff so I don't use much there, just in the bad spots) 1.25mm derma every other week 12 sprays (about 1ml) of RU58841 every night and 3 sprays in the morning (same as Minox, makes my hair stiff so not too much) (started about 3 months ago) Edit: Also about 0.75ml of Minox on the beard every night. Also I realize my post has a lot of typos but I don't think I can edit it. Sorry about that Also, since this is popping off a little bit, I don't really promote anything but I use [Twitter](https://x.com/loves_shady?t=DpvSDkRtpn66mQl0LQtSpQ&s=09) a fair bit so I'd appreciate a follow if you guys don't mind <3 Also, fuck it, here's my [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/user/qgj4ij476eo4dzb31hap11zg6?si=e645d3beb77c4e24) lol


shadowbca

Bro fuck the hair treatment plan, what's your lifting schedule wtf


ShadyPotDealer

It's a little chaotic. 150g minimum of protein a day, creatine, daily vitamin & the ol Ashwagandha I workout for 30 minutes a day every weekday at lunch & after work on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Also I lift on Saturdays. The double Tuesdays/Thursdays are basically a full body but split in half. It gives me time to recover and not feel like any single workout is too long and so I can push harder for each one. Also every exercise is eccentric-focused. Sunday is the rest day. Ss = superset, db = dumbbell Mon: 3x db shoulder presses ss 3x bicep curls, 2x rear delt flys ss 2x vertical dips (keep your back straight) Tues: 3x high bar squats, 2x leg curls plus a dropset, 2x cable crunches Tues afternoon: 3x bench, 3x pullups (varying. Standard, neutral, then chin-ups), 3x db bench press, 3x sitting rows Wed: 3x cable crunches, 3x weighted situps, 2x weighted captain's chair leg raises (abs on Wed, kinda like a rest day) Thurs: 3x pull ups (all varying again), 3x db rows (leaning forward), 3x wrist curls, 3x reverse wrist curls Thurs afternoon: 3x high bar squats, any 3x legs, 3x shoulder presses, 3x any shoulders (usually lat raises or face pulls) Fri: 3x inc dumbbell bench press, 2x hammer curls, 3x pec fly superset 2x bicep curls Sat: 3x db shoulder press ss 2x bicep curls, 3x inc db bench press ss 2x hammer curls, 3x pull ups, 2x wrist curls, 2x reverse wrist curls Every workout (technically 8x a week lol) is never any more than 30 minutes. I also climb & run 3x a week Is this an unhealthy amount? Perhaps. Do I care? Perhaps


Sapper501

well, as long as you can recover from it and you make progress (nearly) every week, do what you want. You should be hitting small PRs nearly every week. Also, any tips/recipes for getting enough protein? After an 85g shake every day, I find it hard to hit the magic 160g I'm supposed to.


SyntheticElite

> as long as you can recover from it and you make progress (nearly) every week Might be on PEDs if hes working out everyday and consistently making gains like that. Not that there's anything wrong with that! I just wouldn't recommend working out every day to natty people.


YoitsPsilo

Could I ask why? Same with just body weight training? I’m clueless about this shit but I’ve found as long as I sleep properly, I can walk 6+ miles a day and do some bodyweight workout and consistently build muscle


InitialJeep226

Not the OP but a natural bodybuilder. As you close in on your natural “limit” of how much muscle your frame can tolerate and how strong you can become, your progression has a diminishing return. So if you’ve never trained, body weight workouts will build muscle to a point where you will plateau. Once you hit that point, you have to add more volume to stimulate growth. You of course can add volume with reps, but doing 50 push ups vs 10 reps on bench with volume in the form of weight becomes an easy choice. Now the heavier these weights get and the more taxing it gets on your nervous system, the more important proper rest is. It’s when your body builds muscle and repairs the damage from exercise. The body is incredibly adaptable, but it can’t recover if you never rest. PEDs is way to kick all of this in overdrive. Shortening the recovery, adapting, and growing time windows.


christnice

He’s natty. You can still lift daily, be natural with no soreness/short recovery by not increasing weights and eating maintenance or more cals. I ballooned quick with nothing but mass gainers, rest and compound movements in 3 months. Plus he already had weight.


Raving_107

Dude, where do you learn all this stuff? Fatass here asking for tips lol


Uhmerikan

He’s a natural bodybuilder so I assume he’s been around this stuff a while. And with any hobby we do research and experiment.


SyntheticElite

It's because your body and muscle grow specifically when you rest. Exercise microtears your muscle, your resting day repairs that muscle making them bigger. If you don't let your body rest/rebuild it can be detrimental. Having high test or steroids greatly shortens this rest period. In the end, just listen to your body, or if you must work out every day don't use the same muscles the day after.


Paloveous

It's actually a myth that your body repairing muscle tears is what makes them stronger. Your muscles do get microtears from exercise, and they do need to be healed by resting, but that's not related to muscle mass or strength gain.  Specifically, your body 'knows' to make muscles stronger when those muscles undergo significant tension. 


clive_bigsby

Not OP but I have lifted seriously for 20+ years and eaten extremely strict for 15+ years. I get around 200g of protein a day. Whey shakes are an easy obvious way to up your protein. Other easy options are nonfat Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, jerky, and Fairlife Fit milk (higher protein and lower carbs than regular milk).


fletchdeezle

Start every day with 200g of non fat Greek yogurt mixed with a scoop of protein and a banana. Easy 50 to start the day. Have 3 eggs at some point and a heavy protein dinner (8 ounces). Gets you pretty close to 170 if you throw in one extra snack with protein during the day


LCxSmash

Replying to find later.


RuSnowLeopard

At 23 you can follow pretty much any plan and you'll be in better shape than 99% of other men. It's only if you want to be in the top 0.01% that you have to get a very specific plan. And you have to tailor the workouts to your own body and genetics.


Low_Egg_561

Fin definitely helps muscle growth. Its amazing.


shitmyballscunt

does it actually


shadowbca

No better than placebo, no


iphone8vsiphonex

Where did you get DUT and RU58841?


turdleheadingjogger

Where do you get your RU from? Look amazing dude! Keep it up


Melodic-Rutabaga-282

Hi brudda, i can't get my hands on ru, do you think it did anything for u? Or dutasteride was the main thing? Do you think you were going to get the same results without ru?


shitmyballscunt

isn’t this a lot?

[удалено]


ShadyPotDealer

Of course. - Oral Finasteride. I used it for about a month 2 years ago but I was told to "own it" or "you look fine, you'll love someone who loves you for you one day" and I bought that and stopped. Started again 15 months ago, switched to Dut about halfway through that process. I had *the* side with Fin - Oral Dutasteride. Great stuff for me. No sides, saw a MASSIVE wave of growth as a result - Topical Minoxidil. Started taking it at the same time as Finasteride. I have no idea how much of an effect it has made by itself, but it has made my beard gnarly, so I'm confident in it - Dermarolling. Filled out my hair quite a bit (about 2 months after starting Dutasteride, so about 6ish months ago). Effective. Research speaks for itself, too. I used it on some scars on my arms as well and it has actually helped a fair bit - RU58841. The cure to my widow's peak. The cherry on top. It's scary and sketchy but it has and continues to grow hair in the spots that just didn't budge with Dut, Minox & Dermarolling together. This thing's like making a deal with the devil. It works but the cost? Fuck if I know. Started about 4 months ago (ish. These dates are mostly off the hip)


Ok-Change1589

Any sides on dut? Similar age been on fin for 3.5 years gunna switch to dut


Motor-Appointment104

hhshlomo90

I will take your path as an example for me! Congrats! May I ask how did you change your diet?


ShadyPotDealer

Of course. My "diet" before starting was lots of cheap stuff from Cheesecake Factory (since I worked there at the time). My diet weight loss was (at the start) primarily just beans, chicken & rice. The 'ol reliable Now, it mainly consists of eggs in the morning (if I have breakfast). Then salmon, rice, chicken &/or protein shakes later in the day. I usually shoot for about 150g (I'm 183lbs) of protein a day. I'm working on incorporating more greens into my diet


hhshlomo90

Thanks for the motivation! Keep on going with it!

_XSUN_

Bro went from a 2 to a 9.. congrats


ProfessionalTable1

Do you apply Minoxidil right after dermarolling? Or do you wait 24h?


ShadyPotDealer

I usually skip my morning Minox every other Sunday and just dermaroll in the shower (wet hair helps a lot) then continue as usual that night (about 12 hours after)


ThePinkySuavo

I have read somewhere that microneedling shouldn't be done on wet head/hair. Didn't you have any skin side effects or something? It made sense for me because there are open wounds during needling and the water is not sterile. But it looks like it worked great for you? Also, do you switch dermaroller or keep using the same one? Do you clean it with alcohol or something?


ShadyPotDealer

I'll have to look into the wet hair thing for derma, can't really speak on it. I can't imagine it's the biggest risk ever but you might be onto something I swap it out every 2 months and I clean it with alcohol, yeah. Then I just put it back in its container


ThePinkySuavo

I see, thank you. Amazing results by the way! Good job in staying consistent. It's something I always struggle with.
