can I stop squatting now?
>tfw didn't even have a pump in this pic
>>34974798
Holy shit what have you done
>>34974798
height, weight, lifts?
>>34974798
It's just at the beginning stage...
>>34974798
this is what girls imagine when they go "i dont want to lift weights, i dont want to get too big"
For god sake look at your fucking arm. T-Rex mode to the max.
>>34974809
fell for the SS meme squatting 3 times a week and benching one ;_;
>>34974798
that's just nasty breh..
but i want hideously huge arms so i can empathize why you would make ur legs that big
>don't even have pump
>veins engorged
quads are pretty easy to overdevelop from an aesthetics standpoint
>>34974798
Oh look, another SS victim
You deserve it, you Rippletits worshiping retard
Newfag here. Is SS actually a meme? I've been studying it per the sticky's recommendation.
No memes please I'm actually considering lifting.
>>34974853
Curiously my fat distribution prevents me from having a lot of visible veins on my legs, even though I see them across my abs
>>34974887
It's not a meme because there are just enough people who are delusional and retarded enough to be proponents of it.
So you might as well treat it as one and dismiss their dumbasses. You'll live to regret trying it, and more so if you take that retard Rippletit's dietary advice.
Just avoid it and find a decent push/pull routine.
>>34974887
>actually considering lifting
JUST DO IT
Keep squatting you fucking nigger. You've been making some great leg gains, don't be ashamed of it. Get stronger, get bigger, keep squatting, and be proud that you go big legs, you're probably stronger than most people in your gym with legs like that.
Who cares Ur legs are massive n Ur probably strong as fuck. Build up a decent torso and do legs once every 2 weeks you'll have a great body
>>34974918
What do you recommend? I'm a total newfag at lifting and the sticky really likes ss apparently.
>>34974919
I will once I get a routine that i'm confident will work.
>>34974946
>What do you recommend?
I don't think you finished reading my post. I included a recommendation toward the end.
>>34974953
I don't know what a push pull routine is though
>>34974887
People make jokes about because it's so popular but it works and it's basically what every beginner should be doing - learning the lifts, training the CNS, getting newbie gains. My only advice is:
-Don't start with an empty bar and move up to 5lbs like he suggests, look for a reasonable starting weight for each lift for someone of your height age and gender on the internet.
-Don't follow Rippetoe's diet advice, don't do GOMAD, don't eat 5000 calories a day. Get some outside advice on diet.
>>34974958
http://exrx.net/Lists/WorkoutMenu.html
Just go with one of the 2 day splits.
>the sticky really likes ss apparently
It's popular enough to be a sticky because they know the audience here: it's a lazy circlejerk encouraging each other to be permanently bulking, wide retards because more than half the people here start off fat and that lets them get a foothold in fitness. Same reason just about everyone will insult ottermode here as an ideal. None of them have any willpower to stop eating like retards, or to do any cardio, or to not lift lazily.
>>34974958
A push pull routine is one where a push day is where you do primarily pushing movements, like bench press, shoulder press, tricep press. Rightk
Pull is rows, deadlift arguably, and some more shoulder work. Then a day of squats and hammy accessories. Get it?
>>34974946
I'm also a total newfag, and a total skelle. I don't think any advice in the sticky applies to me, because I don't even have the proper movements to start lifting yet, I have to train my body in the machines before I start that.
Luckily the gym I go to have people with educations within training so I can get responses from them.
>>34974827
And I always have to tell them it's impossible for me to look retarded without being on gear.
Op's pic related and the most arbitrary place to have vascularity.
>>34974964
>>34974986
>>34974987
>>34974995
I see. I'm auschwitz as well but I'm sure I can bulk if I need to.
Do you guys think ss would be best, or should I do some sort of AxBxCxx push pull routine?
I'm being genuine, I have a break from classes this coming week and it's the perfect time to get situated in gym without having to study/do classes.
Start deadliftan bruh.
Mirin' base though.
>>34974903
I wonder why his doesn't
>>34974986
Okay stfu ss is a FINE routine for a begginer because it centers around compound lifts, introduces a good rep scheme for strength and size, and explains linear progression. It's made for anyone to just jump in and go. If you disagree with that when you don't know shit about progressing.
Diet? It isn't hard to figure out. Address your current in take and eat dense, healthy food that you'd expect to be nutritious. Hmm is candy good for me? Big god damb surprise it isn't.
>oh maybe these fruits and vegetables are good for me
Hmm good idea. We like meat, so eat it. And it wont give you cancer either. Their talking about the super shitty processed meats like hotdogs and bolagna. Another big fucking surprise
>hmm we like rice and oats, cereal meh
But guess what? The BEST part of SS is you don't need a world famous diet. You can eat whatever the fuck you want if Ur a begginer IF AND ONLY IF it's promoting a healthy lifestyle.
>>34975034
full body like ss and you will train each body part 3 times, push pull leg comes much later when you only need to train 2 times a week each body part as the volume becomes excesive.
>>34975034
Push/pull + 250 cals over maintenance, not 500 regardless of what the retards here tell you. They either don't know how much lean tissue it's physically possible to build per month or they advocate looking like a fat sack of crap for the sake of strength (16% body fat) and then cutting down. Don't do that. Do it slowly and look good for 12 months a year.
>>34975034
I'm >>34974995, I'm coming from med-induced anorexia, I'm having to learn to enjoy the taste of food and having an appetite again.
Having researched SS, I'd say if your muscle movement can handle it, then yes, start with that. Also are you home training or in a gym, how are the staff, can they help you out figuring out what is best for you?
>>34975068
I haven't signed up yet but i'm planning on heading down today or tomorrow. It's a tiny YMCA but it's cheap and in walking/running distance. I'm 6'0" ~150 lbs so not anorexic, I just don't eat that much naturally.
>>34975064
>>34975065
I'm getting mixed signals.
>>34975034
weddels 5/3/1 is super easy to get into and makes you do the big lifts frequently. Been doing it for a year and seeing progress, although you can do basically anything and see progress at the level I was at.
It's good because its so structured and simple, I use this calculator at http://www.strengthstandards.co/#/home
to figure out my routine.
>>34974798
Looks like someone fell for the ""SS is a meme" is a meme" meme
in this time of great concern I just hope ICF 5x5 is a better meme than SS
>>34975077
>I'm 6'0" ~150 lbs so not anorexic
You're shitting me
>>34975143
That's not anorexic m8, just lanky/really thin
>>34975077
I'm 5'10 and 125 pounds, got a long way to go.
Just go join the gym and take it from there, let your ideas flow into each other, you'll learn as you go along, don't let things overwhelm you from the get go, you'll read many different things, make sure to take it seriously and get into. But start by joining the gym.
depends on how joocy your ass is pics
>>34975034
Aww, I started lifting around this time last year. We're all gonna make it
This board is such shit now.
It's obviously a bait post and probably a shop. Literally no strength routine would give an athlete like that such a DYEL upper body with world class quads: at worst the forearms would be developed as much as the quads because the guy would have a mid 600lb deadlift with the leg development alone. Hell, his squat would be so strong his back would be crazy strong.
Such a fucking waste of time for DYELs to come here anymore. Every new fag in this thread is being trolled by "muh arms didn't get big on SS."
If you're too much of a dumbass to up the bench volume and do curls, you're never going to make it. And they don't. The only people that talk shit about basic linear progressions like SS are muh-calves bodybuilding fags, or sub-2pl8 bench pussies that think "great gains" are a bulk so weak they don't have to cut.
Newbies should read the sticky, ask /plg/, /fraud/ and /owg/ for advice, and then leave fit for a couple years. Or just buy the most popular weightlifting book on Amazon (hint: it's SS)
>>34975321

>>34974798
Mirin
>>34975321
nobody should take lifting advice from /fit/ seriously but you must be pretty dyel if you think those quads are 'world class'. I got quads that big from like 3 months of leg press back when I started lifting
>>34974798
Would love to have quads like that, but only if my upper body was comparable
>>34975731
Let's not pretendent now that those quads aren't big
>>34975734
really?
>>34975467
no shit, in the second he's flexing
>>34974798
you haven't answered what you squat, I'm under 2 plate and my quads are growing way bigger than my other muscles
>>34974798
Your legs are beautiful
>>34974887
It's a very good routine IF you actually read the book so you know how to program and add accessories over time. So read the book

If your diet is 100% on point, and you drop to <8% BF ANYONE can have 'abs' (hungry skeleton abs).
Strong looking 'washboard abs' (ottermode) come from isolated core exercises thrown in.

from what I'm guessing, the SS+GOMAD joke is a meme because SS is supposed to get you started with stuff like developing your pullups, whereas GOMAD will just get you fat so you'll never make any progress
>>34974798
you got those legs from roids, not squats, dumbass

can I sit on your legs?
its my fetish
>>34974798
This same shit is happening to me. My arms and chest got a bit bigger. But holy fuck are my legs and ass blowing up. I'm literally 210 6'2 with ribs poking out cause my upper body is so skinny, but my legs are fucking huge.
IMO the trex joke actually has some truth to it, w.e. though I like lifting heavy.
>>34974798
you have fucking frog legs. please record yourself jumping like a frog.
Also your legs are so joocy oh my god!!! you havent fucked up that bad if its in proportion to your upper body
OP, your forearms, balance nigga.
Why you so stupid?
Why are your forearms so weak? Surely you must question this when doing deadlifts?
>>34983046
pics family
>>34975266
I agree
>>34975063
But I like hotdogs and bologna. And salami. Bacon. Sausages. All sorts of fairly processed mystery meats.
>>34975151
Not the same guy, but another smelly: It feels anorexic, sometimes, at that weight and height. Regular-ish core, tho, in my case, but with chicken legs & skinny arms.
> 6'2" 150lb master race?
>>34974887
>believing that the ss is a troll troll is a meme
>>34975321
I have to comment just to assure the DYELs on this board that this man is speaking the truth
>>34981143
You are right my bad the core is not used inn deadflifts and squats.Thank you for the insight.
Nobody commenting the fact he's grabbing his dick? This can't be /fit/
>>34983046
Same.
However, my legs before SL/SS were fucking tiny. And I'm 6'4. So I don't look quite as ridiculous. I went from 198 to 224 and it was mostly in my legs.
Squatting heavy three times week started to kill me around 255. I was still completing all the reps, but I felt like shit all the time.
If you're not smart about switching off of SS, then you can probably hurt yourself or burn yourself out.
>>34975084
I switched from SL to 5/3/1 BBB, which looks like the best low-level intermediate version of 5/3/1.
With the Beyond 5/3/1 stuff (joker sets, FRP, etc), it could be fucking awesome for beginners. Wendler even lays out a beginner program.
However, I don't know if true beginners could fully utilize the auto-regulation in the program. The whole adding weight to your training max once a month could be fixed with joker sets, but I'm not confident in a beginner's ability to gauge their limits. Plus you'd probably need to workout 4 days a week, which for a beginner, may actually be good for creating a "go to the gym motherfucker" habit.
BUT, the big upside is that you can include extra accessory work. So a beginner could essentially do something more similar to a push/pull type program.
5/3/1 could bridge the gap between SS compound lifts and PPL stuff. I prefer blackiron (google it) as my 5/3/1 calculator.
Conclusion: I would suggest at least doing SS/SL for at least 6-8 weeks before considering 5/3/1. Preferably longer to at least reach intermediate strength levels, which are generally something like: 130ish OHP, 225 BP, 300 squat, and 350 DL.
>>34983073
kek my forearms are not that bad it's just the angle. I can DL 3plt8 for reps with no straps using the normal double overhand grip.
>>34983046
I have decided to stop squatting and will just do rack pulls instead of deadlift to take legs out as much as possible and let my upper. body catch up
>>34974887
This got a heap of responses, but no, it's not a meme. The issue is that people either do it for way too fucking long, when it's just a beginner routine that you shouldn't do any longer than a year or so coming from the absolute skelliest of skellies, or people do it alongside roids, which can result in shitty results like the whole t-rex mode meme.
>>34974798
Would definitely trade in my chicken legs for those. Don't stop squatting just because these curlbros skip leg day.
>>34984091
>which are generally something like: 130ish OHP, 225 BP, 300 squat, and 350 DL.
>tfw lifting for 14 months and still not on any of this.
>>34988552
No worries. This will obviously vary depending on your size and previous lifting experience.
Some people maybe need to switch to something else before they hit these numbers.
Most people say keep with SS until you completely hit a wall. Just keep in mind that the wall can be different things (not going up in weight, too tired to function, starting to get fat/t-rex mode).
I, for one, am mirin. I assume you are natty?
those aren't big legs
these are

bro wtf you look good man
>>34989212
pls stahp. you are perfect
>>34974887
If you want to train for strength or powerlifting then it's a great routine. It's decent routine for hypertrophy just make sure to add accessories like curls, shoulder and tricep work. It'll get you way stronger than people doing a bodybuilding routine and then you can translate that strength into bodybuilding exercises when you finish SS, and the more weight you can lift on these exercises the more stimulus for growth there is.
>>34975520
cut them off
Why is everyone disgusted by OPs pic? I love huge quads.
Op I want legs like yours. What are your stats, routine and diet?
>>34979341
Same thing happened to me, fat ass carried it around for years. Now I got thick calves and legs only have to do leg day once a month.

SS is a troll but this board doesn't lift so they will never find out. Nobody wants a body built with a routine like SS.
>>34989212
fucking roided cheater

Cheating on what?
I'm not an athlete.
>>34992306
you are cheating on looks. and for sure you lie about roids when random people asks "ahah no man, rice and chicken". good thing you are not going to laugh in 10 years from now
>>34992561
If I don't have to lie, I try not to.
If a kid asks me I'm honest about it. Especially so they don't get unrealistic expectations.
But obviously if a cop asks me I'm going to blame genetics and food.
You can continue to assume, I understand that you feel that way because most juicers are like that.
nice legs
>>34974798
This is clearly a fucking shoop.
