    Is it true that men with thin face look better bald
    In my opinion, the bald look suit people with very thin face, that is, people with 0% face fat. For example, athletes look good bald. What do you think?

    Everyone looks better with a thin face. Allows your jaw and cheek-bones to show. You don't see pudgy 18% bf models running around, do you?

    Sorry, but I gotta do this. Hate on me if you want. I just hit the gym.

    I really wish they'd start a body building section of this forum. I'm currently up 9 pounds in 1.25 months without any supplements; just a high, healthy calorie intake and good exercise.

    My receder bothers me less and less everyday. Also, one of my roommate's friends was hanging yesterday. He's NW6, but buzzes it super short. Dude is chiseled and looks like a boss. I have a lot of hope for my future, and I hope all my comrades here will find the same.

    Anyways, I've attached a picture of my current body profile. It's only going to get better from here, fellas:

    Word. I appreciate the constructive criticism. I actually am focusing on my deltoids and biceps hardcore. I have a naturally strong core, thick legs, and by glutes are on point for getting no abnormal training.

    If you know of a good routine to boost arms quick, I'd appreciate it.

    And, yeah, my roommate who is big into lifting has also mentioned I have the bone structure of someone who can get big easily. My dad is like 57 years old , 5'9", 190 pounds of muscle - no lie, dude is intimidating if you don't know him.

    But, for real, PM me an arm workout routine that utilizes primarily free weights.

    Thanks.

    I think Lyle McDonald's Generic Bulking Routine and Layne Norton's PHAT are pretty widely considered to be the best routines for an intermediate natural.

    Both are book marked on my browser for now. I skimmed both, and they are mostly requiring a more comprehensive gym than the one I have now; I utilize a free gym on the floor of my building. I will be getting a membership at a real gym once I go full time/graduate with my Master's.

    I think there are some useful theories/methodologies provided like rotating, not only parts of the body you exercise (relatively standard practice), rotating hypertrophy and heavy lifting. I think I can somewhat assimilate that into my current practice.

    Thanks.

    5'11, 168 pounds. Haven't had body fat tested in 5 year, but it was single digit.

    I have a lot of work to do, but I really just got into getting bigger. I'm mostly focused on broadening my shoulders and boosting arm size. Body is naturally lean - I have a hard time keeping weight on.

    As highlander pointed out, I have decent forearms/hands from years of manual labor and genetic predisposition.

    yeah, you look bigger for someone that is 5'11 168 pounds. Keep up the good work bro.

    I need to join a body building forum has well, my motivation level is dying since I started working out at age 18. The gym usually works because of the competition for strengths, but I recently just got my gym set at home.

    Hah. Honestly, I think he is an intelligent and considerate fella. Some extraneous factor(s) cause him to be a little abrasive and annoyed with some of the less analytic dudes on this site - at least in my humble behavioral assessment occurring over a hair loss forum.

    I actually have had blips of a comparable mental states in my life (particularly late teens), but have largely learned to override them with positive life style changes, setting and attainment of respectable goals, and occasionally removing social inhibitions chemically.

    I won't even lie, that picture was taken probably 40 minutes after a fresh swell, so there was still some residual, temporary gains. I was feeling good as hell about myself though and wanted to share.

    Huh.

    Gonna be honest. Picture is poor to judge anything.

    For being ~5lbs more then me and ~3 inches taller I would expect a more chiseled look - but again the picture is kind of bad quality to judge anything like that.

    And If you jumped 9 pounds in little over one month then wow, you WERE a thin bastard. That 9 pounds is probably 8 pounds fat, 1 pound muscle, maybe 7/2 if you've been hitting the heavy weight hard. With a 5'11 frame you've got a lot to fill out to not border on looking like a concentration camp guy after a couple months. You'll look 'bigger' just by virtue of getting to a more correct weight.

    I went from 153 to 163 in about 4 months time and have stalled, but its a diet thing.

    -------------------

    Agree on the Health and Fitness forum - I wouldn't want to say Bodybuilding/Weightlifting to the exclusion of people who might want to talk about other health stuff.

    I appreciate the honestly. I prefer that over sugar-coated responses any day.

    While healthy, I still have always had the hardest time gaining and maintaining weight (except for recently). I've been basically the same weight since probably 15 years old, and I'm 25 now. Both my parents were really thin. My mom still is, and my dad's metabolism slowed down at around age 27 (same age he went bald, coincidentally) and he went from concentration-camp Norwegian kid to bald, jacked dude in like a year. Hopefully I get more of the jacked, and less of the bald.

    As for diet, I'm consuming a lot more calories. I'm that guy who opts for whole milk, keeps hard-boiled eggs in my backpack waiting for a shred of hunger to develop, etc, etc.

    A well-being sub-forum would be great. A lot of the dudes here are well-versed on weight lifting as a means to boost physical appearance. Sites like bodybuilding.com are full of pretentious douche bags. I remember I landed there because a guy was asking a question about balding and everyone basically just made fun of him, or said finasteride was the worst thing ever from "what they'd heard."

    Yeah back in the panic days of hairloss I was googling all sorts and bodybuilding forums seemed to have quite a discussion on it (Srs). Lots of the guys loved to post photos of themselves (no homo) and use all sorts of odd lingo...

    But even the whole concept of exercise, losing fat, muscle, does help, especially combined with the big three, if anything, one should consider it as part of a new big 4...

    I think a sub forum for health and bodybuilding is a great idea. We should suggest it in the Men's Hair Loss Start Your Own Topic section. That's how we got the Coping subforum implemented in the first place.

    Yeah, the dudes on bodybuilding.com use dated internet lingo and memes. I have no beef with taking pictures of yourself, especially if you are working hard to earn that body. It's when you get in pissing contests and try to put others down that it becomes evident that that person is a total douche compensating for inadequacies in most likely every other facet of life.

    That's why I actually embrace this site. This is the only forum I've ever been this involved and interested in. A lot of the guys here are humble, but interested in bettering themselves. It really feels like an environment where I can help and be helped (barring the trolls of course).

    Who do we message about getting a health sub-forum? tbtadmin? Winston?

    Probably both Winston and tbtadmin. We could also create a thread to garner attention.
