its probably nutrition + your routine

if you getting enough protein and promoting growth you will get bigger

depending on where you are at "bigger" can be relative :manny: everyone has a genetic limit but i doubt you hit that yet

All the stuff i talk about i learned through years of clinical trials, personal experience, years of experience in training others, and busting my ass to get this degree. My credentials are BS in Kinesiology with a focus in sports medicine. PT certs in ACE, NASM, ACSM and NSCA. I know my science. The scenario I threw out about poultry vs red meat is just a simple way to understand that poultry is easier to digest and metabolize than red meat. You will gain more useable protein from poultry over red meat. And with fish you get omega 3s as a bonus, but too much you have to worry about mercury! crazy stuff. Lets all be civil in this discussion and keep it cool with out any smart ass remarks, I dont claim to know more than anybody or feel lik eim better, im open to any of yalls knowledge but come correct with it and state why anyone should take your word for it. its all cool :hug:
Breh, educate me on this mercury stuff. I fukk heavily with canned tuna, probably eat a can everyday. Is it dangerous :merchant: ? I can't find what's the consensus on this shyt. Please, help me, I am worried :merchant:.

that's the safe side but a lot of people have more and are fine (for now at least) but that doesn't mean its smart to do. Type matters also, chunk light has less mercury then albacore.
I've been eating this shyt for half a year now. Sometimes 2-3 cans a day. :to:
I guess its time to call it a day. :to:
But I love it so much. :sadbron:
