Not his thread
Started bulking at the beginning of July. 115->140 lbs at 5'11. Feels like I'm only just getting started though, can't wait to see how strong I'll be after one whole year training

>>35446225
Nice progress man
>>35446225
post routine, I want to be like you.
>>35446419
A
Squat
Pull ups
OHP
Leg raise
Dips
B
Squat
Dumbbell bench press
Hanging L-sit
Shrugs
Curls
One week is A/B/A and the other is the opposite. Don't know how optimal this routine is but it's working well for me.

why the hell do people feel the need to alter the basic 3x5 SS program
you don't need leg raises or shrugs if you're 140 lbs. you should be primarily focusing on barbell lifts. out of curiosity what are you squatting and how are you going about making progress on it?
>>35446558
I'm at 160 lbs currently. I'm ashamed to say it but I only started squatting a few months ago. At first I listened to the gym guy and did leg press but I learned squats were better so I've been working on them. I do shrugs because I have a fucked shoulder and I've been told it would help with it. Why not do leg raise though?
>>35446501
thank you, this is actually helpful for me, since I'm starting out.

>>35446671
i'd honestly recommend just doing SS. for your shoulder just do these stretches in between sets of your other lifts

as far as leg raises, you will build the exact same musculature (as well as many more additional muscle groups) performing heavy deadlifts instead. these can also be weighted (durr) and increased over time, making you stronger.

I am very sorry to ask, since I see the term everywhere, but what exactly is SS?

Starting Strength

>>35446225
mirin
>>35446558
Nigga you are retarded
>>35446558
nothing wrong with some extra accessories. a lot of people actually recommend adding some light bodybuilding work into SS to avoid imbalances aka t-rex mode
>>35446734
>i'd honestly recommend just doing SS
so he can't add a rehab exercise for the scapula/shoulders? come on
I lost some weight.
>>35448335
Making it :3
Cut from 190 to 153
>>35449433
And start of bulk at 157
>>35449448
Lookin' fucking great man. You made it.
Wish me luck, I'm basically at where you started when cutting. How long did it take you to get from pic 1 to pic 4?
>>35449433
How long did that 40lbs cut take you? 8 months?
>>35449433
Great job dude, solid year for sure
>>35449433
That's awesome.
No excess skin or anything? What was/is your routine?
