This is what SS does to you.
Does /fit/ consider this aesthetically pleasing?
Yes.
you're lacking pecs but overall look nice
we dont care about "aesthetically pleasing" were freaks
Everything going minus the pecs looks good, bench more faggot
Yeah looks good desu
He can afford to squat less often know though, but he looks strong and athletic
What's ss
How come literally every person on SS lacks pecs but have great size on other muscles that get equal volume (ie. not quads)? Why do pecs require so much volume to grow? Are they like the calves of the upper body?
>>35160515
you got trolled. bro splits honestly get you bigger than shit like SS
not even trolling. more time to dedicate to each muscle group.
even an upper/lower or pushpull would have done you better
>>35160603
cheers. Was used to the traditional /ss/
>>35160515
Stand up straight you faggot.
Your shoulders are going too far foward so you look smaller.
>>35160604
Yeah but SS gets you strong. I started lifting because I wanted to look good but started SS eventually because I realized I didn't have to look like a chad in order to get chicks and being strong feels great.
>>35160604
You can fuck right off with your brosplit bullshit. Brosplits are ONLY for frauds and people near natty limit.
>>35160604
>not even trolling
say again?
>>35160602
Becuase they dont think to add a few dips and chins at end. Inb4 but thats not ss
>>35160602
you do 4.5 reps of BP a week for chest on SS
you need to do dips on days you OHP and flyes on BP days if you want chest hypertrophy on SS
>>35160663
Lmao, your bro split strength is my bro split strength 3 months into training. Are you a Manlet?
>>35160661
FINALLY SOMEONE FUCKING POSTS IT
I heard about it like two months ago but no one had the image.
>>35160686
i meant sets ah fuck me
>>35160683
>Inb4 but thats not ss
if you're read PP you'd know that is the program, I don't know why these charts found on internet leaves it out
>>35160661
How come the brosplitter was benching 10kg more than the schutzstaffler?
I did strong lifts for like 5 months and then a push pull with a lot of sets and 6-8 reps
>>35160661
this was confirmed fake, my humble newfriend
>>35160734
i had better gains with the push pull
>>35160515
He got a good chest, the problem is that his shoulders are pulled forward, either because he's flexing, standing poorly, or has weak rear delts/rhomboids, and tight front delts/pecs.
If he pulls his shoulders back, I'm sure his chest would come out much nicer
Is this you OP or nah? Either way I think that's a great physique. Once everything gets a little bigger it will be hnng tier.
>>35160695
...if that was you only 3 months in you must be the manlet.
>>35160730
Because SS barely has any chest workout
>>35160779
>those biceps on the SS'er
He was clearly not doing SS.
>>35160735
no it wasn't
>>35160824
It also has curls once a week.
>>35160725
>>35160779
I know they are in the program, but people who havent read the book always spout the same shit
>>35160803
Pretty crazy how identical their muscle insertions are.
>>35161063
Almost like they're twins.

6 months.
>>35161269
You have a bellybutton like a prolapsed anus.
Ugly legs
>>35161313
You were lucky with your clavicle being that horizontal. Mine are a bit tilted and therefor I have small traps.
1.5 years on SS and other 3 days strength routines. Spent like half the time in the gym compared to splitters and I still look great. I'm also stronger than them.

greg o'gallagher
I've been doing upper/lower for a while now 5 days a week and I'm loving it. But looking at this thread, I don't know if going on a 3 day strength program is going to get me bigger than something like an upper/lower based on higher sets and reps
Should I just do SS only? Pic related. Is me.
>>35160579
Schutzstaffel
>>35161846
Just do what you want to do. SS probably isn't going to get you bigger, but you'll spend less time in the gym and still get around the same results.
>>35161462
LEIGHT WEIGHT
But the stats man the stats!
I'm lifting to get stronger, I just want to be able to haul weight like my old man could, honestly.
Really hoping SS works out for me.
>>35162169
If SS doesn't get you bigger what does?
>>35161253
>>35161269
Cool mang. How long did that take???
Pic related is me 4 months into SS. Right pic was about two weeks ago.
I know I'm far from aesthetic, but given the SS memes, I think I'm headed in the right direction.
>>35161313
>>35161337
>>35162920
Apparently I can't read.
But 6 months that's good shit breh. Goal stats right now desu.
>>35161269
It's like a babys belly button, all manlets like this?
>>35160853
underrated
>>35160661
What they went from 135pls to 132 on The Press??
>>35164068
Isn't this a troll routine?
>>35161682
Greg has bigger shoulders and biceps.
>>35164169
I mean that pic that was posted. People always post it as a critique my routine and it gets a ton of replies.
>>35160515
not making your own program based on some strength gaining shit like 5x5 but instead 5x5 you do 5x10 because else you dont feel any burn, is just plain retarded.
>>35164235
I don't know if its a troll or just one idiot who can't take criticism, but it does keep popping up.
>>35164136
it is
>>35160656
Are you autistic?
>>35161412
>and I still look great
Kek, plz post height and weight you skinny motherfucker
You dont even need to lift heavy weight to get big, i know a guy that literally benches 1/5 of what i do and his chest is massive. Mind you i bench 3 plates
>>35167078
Wasnt supposed to post that pic but k
>>35164068
Does this work?
Looks interesting but a lot of volume.
>>35160604
Beginners should do a SS/SL type of routine unless they are already fairly strong.
The you move on to splits if that aligns with your goals. Hypertrophy isn't great if you can't put up decent weight (e.g. someone squatting 5x10 2pl8 v. someone squating 5x10 1pl8).
>>35167197
Anything works, pretty much.
That doesn't make it any less retarded though.
>>35164068
So if this routine is a meme, what should an intermediate lifter looking for aesthetics do? Preferably something with a split focus between strength and aesthetics, I get it isn't optional, but I'm not sure which way I want to go yet.
>>35164068
what, these are 2 seperate programs?
This is me with about 9 months of SS + more chest/arms/accessories, 6 of them were cutting hard at a big deficit.
>>35167575
Impressive, your arms are bigger but you fast % has probably more then halved
>>35162920
delts+traps+lats looking great
Quads are not yet bigger than torso. More squats and more oats, you nigger.
>>35167657
Thanks man, I'm down to 220 now but not doing another pic until 215, then again at 200
>analysing the body so hard that I envision what it'd feel like if OP hugged me from behind
Is /fit/ making me gay?
>>35160515
Post "before" pics. You may have been hopeless to start with.
>>35167575
Do you do any cardio?
>>35167972
Not exactly but I work my ass off when I lift I don't pussy-foot. I don't do any cardio routine or anything, I just watch what I eat (usually) and lift hard...it's nothing new man just protein and veggies and keep the calories low.
I'm new to all this, haven't even been to /fit/ before. What's "ss"? I want to learn, I need to get in shape.
>>35168457
Starting Strength, lurk more faggot.
>>35168457
Read the fucking sticky
>>35168457
I dont like you.
>>35160661
brosplit brah would look just as big if he were flexing the same, tbhfam
he also has a better chest, much bigger traps, and an infinitely better-developed back.
plus his legs aren't t-rex grossness.
Is 4 months fine before doing a different program? I've more than doubled all my lifts but now i'm starting to stagnate abit. I still want to do the big 3, i just want a different program.
>>35160803
same size, except brosplit brah has better proportions.
dem natty traps..
>>35160579
Starting sticks.
>>35160853
11/10
>>35160515
that actually doesn't look half bad, can afford to lay off the squats a bit and needs some pecs but shoulders lats and biceps look pretty good
>>35168607
You sound weak and easier to kill in general.
>>35167988
I'm asking because for 9 months of SS I would think you'd slimmed down more, great progress for you though,8 want to feel stronger too. I have basically same stats as you from starter going on 1 month myself, I'm swimming 5 days a week though, trying to eat better as well
>>35160661
>>35168607
Brosplit definitely has bigger arms and delts, you can tell just by looking. Guess the hypertrophy rep scheme meme is true.
>>35160602
Because the bench volume is small and changes weekly. Every second week you only bench once and overhead press twice.
>>35168925
Could have just said you bench 1.5 times a week.
Compared to squatting 3 times a week. Plus other lower body work like deadlifts and cleans.
>>35160515
How long OP? How long did you do SS?
>>35161383
top kek
>under 15bf%
>did SS
pick one
>>35161269
height?
>>35162920
nice progress, when you stall, cut to 10-12% and lean bulk your way up with an upper/lower like candito intermediate
I also did SS, but was a skellington tho
>>35169433
Did you only do SS? Have pants become a problem yet?
>>35160515
>skipping the dips and pull ups
>expecting to not be t-rex mode
>>35170544
That guy doesnt look like someone who skipped dips and pull ups. His arms are in proportion and his lats look pretty big.
>>35160686
Doing ss, noticed my upper pecs are underdeveloped , are incline flys good?
>>35161412
Dude you're shitty for 1.5 years lifting.
>>35171027
Not if he's just working out 3 days a week. That's pretty close to some kind of Greek ideal body.
>>35169433
How long have you been lifting? What are your stats?
I want to look like you one day. I want to be fucking strong like a spartan.
>>35167676
thanks brah
>>35169433
Thanks m8.
Mirin' traps.
Did you lean bulk from the get go? And how long did it take you to stall? I've been cutting since I started and it's getting harder to increase the weights. Can't wait to bulk so I can get dem numbers up.
What do you think of PHAT after SS?
>>35171827
>want to look like a spartan.
>not following ICF, a program made by a modern spartan.
Familia its like you don't even want to make if 2bh
