I did that for just about an entire semester. My car reeked of sweat all the time because I couldn't shower there without them noticing something was up.

I bought a setup off Craigslist and set it up in my apartment my sophomore year
Didn't go the the actual gym until my senior year and by then I was way bigger than most of the frat stars and casual riff raff
I didn't do curls for the first eight months I lifted because I didn't want to be a 'curlbro.' Fucking retarded.

Same. I ended up with elbow tendinitis. Curling got rid of it though.
Took shots of olive oil because

I used machines only for the first 8 months or so
>>35632226
It took me 3 months to realize that squatting with buttplug is just /fit/ meme....

Nothing wrong with that, if you use it to hit your macros
Actually wearing tank tops outside of the gym.
Even wearing tanks inside of the gym.
Why?

I thought dead lifts were just for pussies who wanted to lift large weights.
I said power cleans were better than deadlifts.

Not sure if autistic but, was doing Stronglifts 5*5 during my first months of the gym, and I thought deadlifts 5*1 meant 5 sets of 1 deadlift each. Basically I was taking 20 minutes to five fucking deadlifts
>>35636575
But that does mean that right?
The format is sets x reps, isnt it?
>>35636619
If you're doing Stronglifts 5*5 you're supposed to do 1 set of 5 Deadlifts
>>35636657
>>35636657
What the fuck? I have been doing 5 sets and 5 reps each
sometimes i look for like 10s-15s at people doing really heavy lifts
For the first three months of me starting to do any weighted lifting, I did crossfit. I was a fucking idiot, and I'm lucky I didn't hurt myself. If I can make it, we can all make it brehs
>>35636668
then you're doing it wrong m8, but Stronglifts 5*5 is a shit routine anyways, look to Starting Strength, it's better
>>35636668
what the fuck does that look like to you
>>35636559
I wasn't even a beginner, i followed the power cleans over dead lift from ages 13 to 17. Its what the football coaches said what was up. From fit iven been doing deads from 22 to 26.
Log period in between of drinking and doing drugs. Its experience i could never replicate any other way, but none the less, wish i had never done it. Let that be a lesson to you kids... its some entertaining shit, but its truly not wroth it.

Please stop trolling. It's obvious to most of us that you're just having fun being a memefag, but some of these anons are truly trying to improve themselves and its hard to discern useful advice from satire at their level. The SS meme has truly gotten out of hand.
