No you fucking retard, it's a fucking beginner routine. Why don't you find an intermediate routine.
>>
>>34955748
I know you fucking faggot that's why I'm asking
>>
>>34955791
You know it's a beginner routine, and therefore fucking stupid to use as an intermediate program, because it's not, yet you're asking to use it as an intermediate lifter?
>>
>>34955791
So you're even more fucking retarded than you let on, wonderful.

Are those stats intermediate, tho?
Your DL isnt even 2x your bw
>>
>>34955974
>Your DL isnt even 2x your bw
Considering that he doesn't list his body weight at all, how the fuck do you know, moron?
>>
>>34955974
how do you know that his DL isnt 2x of his bw? maybe he weight only 60kg
>>
>>34955974

Sounds about right for normies, for /fit/ I'd say those for 3x5 & DL 1x5.
>>

>>34956019
If you just go to a website that calculates progression levels by body weight and one rep max, you don't have to make up stats. This is probably what OP did. Example http://symmetricstrength.com/
>>
>>34955715
shit, i think I have that girl on tinder and snapchat. Huge slut. Asks for dick pics all the time. Posts stories like OP's photo all the time.

Is her name Anna?
>>
>>34955715
Are those lifts 1 RM? Because then the only way they're considered intermediate is if you're weighting 63 kg or less. Assuming you are male.
And your bench press is disproportional high. Which can be due to prior training/activities out of gym/genetics or bad form.

Those websites give silly estimates, pic related. I wouldn't consider myself to be proficient with these stats @ 77kg BW.
>>
>>34956301
Okay? They use a common formulas, who cares what you fucking consider yourself?
>>
>>34956488
I'm not proficient by /fit/ standards and if I'm not proficient by the community's standards, why should I consider the website's formula to be correct? I'm just trying to have a discussion senpai.
>>
>>34956619
>community's standards
The 'community standards' differ from poster to poster. Just because some shitposters call everyone novice who are not elite, doesn't mean that you should go with that.
And most rankings don't even have a "proficient" level. Only untrained, novice, intermediate, advanced and elite. So you're still intermediate.
>>
>>34956619
>I'm not proficient by /fit/ standards
Nigger really? Because /fit/ is a great place to your standards from. 5 minutes of casually browsing /fit/ for standards can show you that everyone starts benching 2 pl8 at 135lbs at the age of 15 while being 6ft 5.
>>
>>34956716
Not really. It's what most agree is true. Lurk more. 1/2/3/4 plates for ohp/bench/squat/deadlift are considered intermediate on /fit/. That as long as you're not over 100kg bw.
>>
>>34955748
>Why don't you find an intermediate routine.
Because his lifts are all beginner tier for a start
>>
>>34955715
doing 25 reps of anything is not going to make you better at it. Got to do more
>>
>>34955715
yeah im gonna need more of the girl in OPs pic
