Is this normal or is SS actually just a meme?
SS isn't a meme, SS+GOMAD is
Do SS if you want and add some other exercises in so you don't look like a schlep
Is there a way for me to have abs without flexing or am i fucked by my genetics?
>>35250011
you're fucked by your bodyfat
lose weight fatty
>>35250011
You're just fat, guy
>>35250010
i did SS now for 6-7 month with a reasonable diet
this is where i started
Damn, what the fuck are you doing with your diet? Part of the second image is posture surely.
>>35250023
how much bf% do you think i have?
>>35250055
Stop playing with the lights and angles, and be honest with yourself. You're carrying extra weight. Keep lifting and eat less. Stop reaching for straws like a dumbass and go put in the work.
>>35250073
Yea i was worried about that thats why i asked...
so i guess its cutting time then!
Should i stay on SS or do something else?
>>35250103
what are your stats btw? bench, OHP, squat etc....
>>35250146
>Stats
178cm
70kg
Bench 70 kg
OHP 45 kg
Squat 90 kg
Deadlift 90 kg
GOMAD was to be done for like 6 weeks MAX for the small subset of the population that felt comfortable walking around at 5'11 120lbs.

Bulk to at least 90 or 100kg bench then start a cut. Otherwise you'll turn into a skinny twink
>>35250173
With those stats, I'd say you have more strength gains to make and you should actually bulk for the rest of the winter, and then cut in the spring. Stop giving so much of a shit about what you look like in the mirror NOW so that you can actually look good later.
As for your question, SS is fine, but if you want size gains I'd suggest 5/3/1 with the Boring but Big accessory template. Basically you do Bench/Squat/OHP/Deadlift, but just one of those a day with an additional exercise for VOLUME and SIZE. Example would be
Day 1
Bench 3x5 heavy
OHP 5x10 at 50% weight
Go look it up. The app Big Lifts 2 is fully customizable to do the programming / weight % calculations for you.

You made it, breh! Just keep bulking until you're
250 pounds of based Zach mode.

Tank you for not being negative
>Big accessory template
Do you mean a lot of crunches and stuff or something else?
Im not so deep in to the scene jet
>>35250391
I laughed tears over this
his look gets me everytime
>>35250223
6'0 130 here :(
Recovering drug addict, used to be 6'0 159lb and boxed everyday.
Wanna hit the gym and get fit but i just wanna get high :(
>>35250424
just go for it brah
once you see the first results the endorphin and the dopamine will keep you going and will help get your thoughts away from the drugs
on what drugs were you?
>>35250173
the fuck is wrong with people benching almost as much as they deadlift? am I just terrible at bench or good at deadlifts or why was my deadlift 150kg when I benched 70kg?
>>35249984
SS is fine, if you disregard everything mark rippetoe has to say about calories.
motherfucker wants me to be eating 7,000kcal a day.
i eat like 1,500kcal a day.
>>35250523
i have no idea but bench is way easier then deadlift for me
i feel like it sucks all the energy out of me
>>35250318
Good advice
>>35250523
lol my bench is more than my deadlift and squats, but i am a recovering curlbro
but benching kinda has the right feel to it, squatting and deadlifting is just fucking annoying, you instantly get tired and sweaty but no feeling in the muscle even if you failed a rep
can someone link me a decent brosplit?
>>35250926
Just do this and add curls and tricep pulldowns on day 1 and 3.
>>35249984
>>35250011
you are fine, just fat probably somewhere around 16-18%, cut some weight down and you'll see your abs, SS has nothing to do with you gaining fat though
