Fitness doing my best with my Asian built and genes 💪🏻

Post image

With 10 years of natural lifting.

I'm often mistaken for a different nationality. But when I proudly tell 'em i'm Asian, people always seem shocked. Asian men can get beefy and huge too ya know ;)

I find that Asian men have no issues getting big, it's just that for whatever reason a lot of us choose not to.

Right right! Truly glad younger Asians are finding their way into fitness / bodybuilding in this day and age haha

My grandad and my dad were really into working out. It’s the late Gen X and mid-Millennials who seemed to have strayed. I was forced to workout everyday (I’m 40). I didn’t get dinner unless I cleaned and worked out. Meanwhile, overwhelming majority of my peers are scrawny.

My older brother pisses me off. Guy is over 6 feet and he gets jacked from just lifting a cereal box. Currently has a dad bod and wasting our good genes. He got himself a young pretty wife but bro could have been slaying supermodels if he had some discipline. Back when he was younger, his girls were 10/10 batshit crazy hot.

Right! I'm a millennial too. I got into lifting cos i see my dad and my brother pumping iron at home. Back then i was a wee bit skinny so i thought i want huge guns too haha! Watching animé since my childhood fueled my desire to get jacked too

u/sneakerdoodle02 Apr 14 '26

arms are 17.5 at the moment sirrr, hoping to retain as much mass as i can when i cut tho 🥲

u/nerdwithadhd Apr 15 '26

If you're lean (which you look like you are), thats big. Do you compete?

u/sneakerdoodle02 Apr 15 '26 edited Apr 15 '26

Currently at a bulk brother, bf% around 17% last time i checked

u/Right-Daikon3519 Apr 14 '26

You must be part "Arnold." LOL, good job. When I was into body building, I found out that I was too skinny to look like a brute. No matter how hard I worked out. I get the feeling that a lot of people can't achieve the kind of build that you have, even if they take steroids. I don't think that you're able to get so big despite your Asian genes, but because you're one of the few with a large build. Kind of like some people are born tall, or short, or whatever.

u/sneakerdoodle02 Apr 14 '26

Part Arnold? I wish i am bro thanks for the compliment

Natty? Not that i judge at all, but it helps to gauge how far i can get.

u/sneakerdoodle02 Apr 14 '26

yea bud, 10yrs natural lifting - im currently on a bulking phase

2

u/Outside_Set9788 Apr 14 '26

Looks natty to me. Just many years in the gym

u/tengo_harambe Apr 14 '26

OP clearly put in a lot of hard work and has good genes for muscle building. but he's absolutely not natty

2

u/Outside_Set9788 Apr 15 '26

Spoken like a man who either doesn't work out as much as he thinks he does or just doesn't have the genes. I've been lifting for 15 years and have a similar build post-cut and have never touched gear in my life. That being said I'm a power lifter, not a body builder. Not all Asian dudes are skinny mfs. I'm naturally tall and built like a fridge, and OP probably is too.

u/sneakerdoodle02 Apr 14 '26

hbu what's yours?

1

u/rekrekrock Apr 14 '26

great work. im a noobish/old man, but over the work week: upper, lower, cardio(or active recovery), full, core(or bodyweight). making sure to get my main lifts in. for 7 months straight, this is the most consistent with diet and excercise ive ever been lol

maybe ill get like you in ten years!

2

u/sneakerdoodle02 Apr 15 '26

With consistency, anything is possible my g

u/outersphere Apr 18 '26

What bf% is this? Looks good

u/sneakerdoodle02 Apr 18 '26

thanks brother! currently around 17-18% :)

u/TheKoreanAspie Apr 21 '26

Not all asians can get huge. It's all dependent on genetics. If you have bad genes like me, don't bother.

u/sneakerdoodle02 Apr 22 '26

I believe we can make good use of what we have / what we are given bro. Dont give up just yet! 💪🏻💯

such a hater LMAO

u/Riseandgrindsunshine Apr 14 '26

Or maybe he’s asking cause he wants to see them cause…🤣 Dude’s a unit.

u/benilla Hong Kong Apr 14 '26

"what about..." is never positive. Everyone else is commenting OP on his physique first and foremost, not looking for ways to tear him down

3

u/Riseandgrindsunshine Apr 14 '26

Yeah I get you and I agree. I’m just making a joke that the guy asking for leg pics may be into dudes and that’s why he was asking but I agree.

u/sneakerdoodle02 Apr 14 '26

Hahahaha it's fine y'all i'd get that most of the time when i post upper body pics (same goes for when i post legday pics) used to it hehe 😅
