>tfw finally hit 2plate bench yesterday with 195 power clean.
>meh, too tired to be excited, I got the bench after 8/6/4/2/1/1/1 pyramid and the clean after 3x10 175.
>realize my bodyweight (153, weighed in at meps literally a few days before) makes me near hitting x1.5 bodyweight bench press.
Did I make it yet fit?? Or am I still dyel cuz unaesthetic ugly manlet?
>>36494341
The second one
>>36494341
You're DYEL cuz you look like a tiny twink. If I butt fucked you I'd prolly break your hips.
No homo.
>>36494341
How short are you?
>>36494341
Good for you man
Now get on gear to become as wide as you are tall and grow a beard you can tuck into your belt.
>>36494597
All of you /fit/ manlet's are under 5 feet. POL IS MASTER RACE
>>36494597
5'9"
>>36494625
Will this make me a man? Or at least .75 of one?
>>36494854
That is 153lb at 5'9"? Are you serious? What are your other lifts?
>>36494874
Bodyweight ohp, 4plate dead, 285 squat or around there, no squat machine, have to use an incline for reps, can't 1rm.
Btw typo, I'm 5'9". Didn't catch it on phone.
>>36494894
>inb4 "e-stat!"
>>36494854
>>36494874
>>36494894
I'm getting confused. The typo you apparently corrected came out exactly the same. Are you 5'9" or not?
>>36494919
5'8"
Shitty phone m8.
>>36494928
Fair enough. I'm still mirin hard though. I'm 5'9 147lb and I'd kill for a 2pl8 bench. How long have you been lifting?
>>36494385
I laughed way to hard at this
>>36494945
Thanks brah, started last October on my own workout, taken me a long time to just go up 30lbs, started at 120lbs, after hydration and beginning gains was 135, and have gone to 153 since then. Here was a before pic, still ugly but it doesn't hinder me much irl.
>>36495034
18 btw, I should have hit 2pl8 at 16 but fucking fell into a hole.
>>36495034
Could you post your workout? How the hell did you put on 30lbs, reach 2pl8 bench and bodyweight OHP, in 5/6 months?
>>36495058
Out of that 30 lbs, a lot was water weight, you can tell when you gain multiple lbs in a week. A lot was what I ate, obvi milk helped tons.
I would post workout but at work, lot was just mixed in, only have like 4 days to workout, gym is only open 1h30m 3 of those days, 2h on sat.
>>36495137
I genuinely have no idea how the hell you did that. What were your starting stats? Do you have a sporty background?
>>36494341
you look dyel because you look very dorky, which can be entirely fixed by getting a diff haircut and maybe getting contacts/lasik instead of glasses. other than that you're doing just fine
>>36495176
Yeah I ran track, played football etc. Went to regionals in 4x1 freshman year, had a 53s 400m and 10s split in 4x1 at beginning of sophmore track season (tore quad so couldn't improve.) I could barely rep 2pl8 on dead, repped 115 on bench, and started out repping 1pl8 squat. I hit 185 bench last Nov. So that's all the progress including holiday loss in gains.
>>36495193
Idk how to change this desu. /fa/ doesn't help and I wouldn't want their style advice anyways desu.
>>36494341
Smolov is a peaking routine, you're going to lose all your gains after you stop
>>36495222
Mirin hard. If I get to where you are in a year, I'll be more than happy. If this thread is still up later, could you post your routine?
>>36495234
how to change what exactly? you mean haircut and general style?
i wouldn't go to a bunch of neckbeards like /fa/ for that, go see an actual stylist if you're serious about it, or just go to a good (read: expensive) male barbershop and just ask them to do whatever they think would look best.
besides that just look at guys who actually look stylish/fashionable (not anonymous "experts" on 4chan) in a way you personally want to look and try to emulate their style however much you want to
>>36495274
Alright m8...sadly still stuck in my fucked mind state, where I think that since I never tried to look good, I'd just be trying too hard now.
>>36495267
Yeah m8, it's nothing special and if I had more time I would add to it.
>>36495354
>Alright m8...sadly still stuck in my fucked mind state, where I think that since I never tried to look good, I'd just be trying too hard now.
totally relate dude, i was basically the same way. babyfaced bowlcut kid for like 6 years, felt like it'd just look stupid/tryhard if i tried to take care of my appearance. it's all in your head tho, taking care of your appearance is completely normal and no one will look down on you for it
>>36495427
I think I'll try it after I'm in the military..will help me break that barrier with new people.
