Hey /fit/, I'm going to go to the gym for the first time today with the SS routine. Is there anything I should know that the book didn't tell me? Is there anything the book told me that you think I should absolutely not forget? Also, how do I use the clips, just put them on the end of the barbell and move it down? How long should I wait between sets?

do GOMAD
you'll figure out how to use the clips once theyre in your hands
rest as long as you need to
do accessory movements
>>36618549
Don't do as much weight as you can on the first day. Obviously progressive overload is important to getting stronger, but if you've never touched a weight it's better to familiarize yourself with a movement using a weight you can do for 20+ reps, until it feels less awkward. Some people recommend not going heavy for 4 weeks, but I think that's a bit excessive.

Thanks, guys, keep them coming if you can.

Form is the most important thing. Find the cutest guy in the gym and ask how you look when you're doing squats.
Also I'd start adding accessory stuff as soon as you get your core lifts down (after a couple months or so) because ss really does make your arms seem a bit smaller than your swol core, despite what everyone will tell you.

If you are not a skinny teenager, DONT do the GOMAD
Rest a minimum of 4 minutes between sets. The book does not stress on this enough, so Rip has to explain it numerous times in articles and Q&A - rest a lot between sets and as you start lifting heavier weights the rests will be 5-6 even 10 minutes.
Should I do GOMAD if I'm a skinnyfat (fat) fuck?
>>36619860
Fuck outta here.
>>36619877
So I'm not allowed to get advice/make it because your daddy beat you when you were a kid and it gave you anger issues?
>>36619895
No becuase you dont seem to understand weight gain / weight loss correlation with calories in and out (Which is very clearly explained in the sticky)
So fuck off
>>36619860
Not unless u want to become a fatfat (fat) fuck
>>36619860
If you are over 20% bf don't bulk
I learned that the hard way. cut down to under 15%
>>36619947
Sorry your dad beat you when you were a kid.
It's not your fault.

It really would suck if you had to do some research on your own.
