ive been doing SS for 4 months and its going pretty well + i am making sick lowerbody gains
but... my upperbody is not so good. terrible in fact.
What would happen if i did SS but switched squats and bench so that I bench every workout and only squat on alternate workouts? would that cure my T-Rexism?
>>35378755
What are your lifts?
>>35378755
Man let
You won't make linear progress on upper body with that frequency so there'd be no point doing ss.
i hope youre doing chins and dips already
>>35378787
This.
I also added in an accessory lift to hit chest and back.
Honestly OP, if your deadlift is a good deal higher than your squat, its time to switch routines. Most likely the Texas method
>>35378755
Are you involving the lats in your dead lifts?
Are you pressing?
Are you bench pressing?
>>35378857
1) not really, but i do chinups every workout
2) yes, but only 37.5kg x 5
3) yes, but only 57.5kg x 5
>>35378787
im doing chins but not dips. is that important?
can anyone recommend a routine that is like the "anti-SS" and prioritizes upper over lower body?
>>35378755
SS WASN'T A TROLL, THEY SAID
SS claims another victim.
people stupid enough to do SS deserve what they get
i have zero empathy for them

Epic meme friendo.
This guy is literally benching less than one plate and wants to know why his upper body is so underdeveloped.
You're so quick to blame SS when you should realize your legs, being huge muscles are always going to be respond and grow quicker, even looking at your picture I don't see anything disproportionate - just a typical DYEL noob who thinks they have "omg trex legs they're so big fuck ss :(("
>>35379232
ok let me run through all the things i see wrong with that
>"Tone up"
>roger estep next to a picture of frank zane
>1000 calorie deficit
>fruit juice for protein
>8 days a week
>bicep leg curls
>stomach crunches to "reduce bellyfat"
>WTF are backward flanges
>3 60kg squat singles is the only leg exercise i can see
>WTF are Genova Rows
>rest day is from that dumb anime about the punch man
>that guy holding a beer crate with NO legs
>>35379330
behold
i think its safe to say im disproportional
>>35379232
This has got to be a troll routine.
It is literally the most retarded routine I've ever seen.
>>35379232

But anom, if you have the upper body but not the lower body, mo, wait if you have the lower body but not the upper body.
>>35379372
You never posted what your stats were when asked.
>>35379372
Not really.
>>35379333
>ok let me run through all the things i see wrong with that
Implying anyone gives a shit about your opinion.
>>35379420
oh sorry.
Squat: 105kg
Deadlift: 115kg
Bench: 57.5kg
OHP: 40kg
>>35379232
lol i made that image approximately 1 week ago
nice to see its being used
>>35379372
I take it you've been lifting less than a year? Your legs are going to explode in size the first few months (in comparison to the rest of your body). Your upper body gains come much slower no matter your routine and the fastest way to gain size as a natural is, surprise, by getting stronger.
Continue on with SS, do your dips, chin-ups, curls, pull-ups, rows and just seriously focus on hitting 1/2/3/4 on your compounds. YOU WILL GET BIG.
>>35378755
What the fuck have you done? Your body was fine in the first pic, now it looks like you have fat thighs and odd proportions.
First pic looks WAY better.
>>35379393
Fat SS troll detected lmao.
>>35379479
i mean i was anorexic in the first pic and coughed up blood every so often
so its definitely an improvement health-wise even if now i look worse aesthetically
>>35379450
Meh that's pretty proportional.
>>35379372
Dat ass
>>35379496
Lol who cares about health it's all about looking good for women.
>>35379372
HOLY FUCKING SHIT HAHA
SS IS A FUCKING JOKE
>>35378787
when do you do dips? i know you do chins after you get started on power cleans
>>35379512
>for women
ok you lost me
pls explain
>>35379524
Epic xD
>>35379182
bump for a nontroll answer
pls help
>>35379598
>Not SS
>Not a troll
You got exactly what you asked for bro
>>35379598
Just do a standard PPL.
You're going to need to work your legs every now and then, they have a lot of muscle in them. Ignoring them will hinder all progress.
>>35378755
Do calf-specific exercises holy shit
>>35378755
Do chin ups and dips every workout. Problem solved.
That's what you should be doing anyway.
>>35379167
>im doing chins but not dips. is that important?
Yes, one is a pull the other a push. You want to balance that as much as possible.
Also, your triceps make up more of your arm musculature than people think, something like 2/3's. If you want big arms it's not just your biceps you want to work, dips will do more for big arms, strong shoulder girdle and upper back than just about anything.
You could even consider adding in curls and skullcrushers if you don't think chins and dips aren't enough. But they really should be.
>>35378755
>tumor legs
yuck
>>35379681
My arms are okay actually. Theyre small, but not superunderdeveloped like my chest.
SS says to do chin ups 3XF on clean days, so would dips be a proper accessory for deadlift days? 3XF on these as well?
>>35378755
>>35379372
Both of you aren't disproportionate, you're just dyel as fuck everywhere and have fat legs.
>>35379770
It depends on how your bench is progressing. If your bench is going up just fine do them on OHP day for more pec frequency, if your bench is stalling because you're not getting enough volume, do them on bench day. If your bench is stalling because you're under-recovering, drop them altogether (or do 1*F) and eat more.
>>35379462
Noob here, when someone says 1/2/3/4, is that for 1 rep maxes or 5 reps?
>>35379858
Can be both. Mostly 1RM.
>>35379858
Doesn't matter. It's a completely arbitrary gauge of progress based on people's like for round numbers.
>>35379858
1rep normally, but theres no "official" meaning
>5 months on SS
>2 months maintaining
>3 months clean/slow bulking
>legs have actually shrunk slightly as they've become more "toned' and less flabby
