What is with guys not doing compounds (Squat/DL)

[Stanley]

What about guys wanting to become hulk for themselves? Something that probably existed since they were children before interest in girls even manifested.

Totally fine! I have my full respect for the hulks of the world that do it for the sport of it and the challenge.

One of my best friends who is 6'6 was bullied for being a rail as a kid and always wanted to get big. He started out doing it for body positivity, then for a minute he debated juicing and being a bodybuilder to "get girls". He got over that phase a couple years ago and now works for a supplement company and is training to be strong man. Guy also looks like a menace, but is a big softy.
