>my friends just started lifting
>they see me doing /ss/ while bulking
>"bro that is not even enough don't you want to lose weight " they say as they fuck around doing 1 set of ten various low intensity isolation workouts
> next day they feel great next day and I'm sore as shit taking a rest day as usual for me
>rest day so I start relaxing
>" dude why aren't you at the gym?"
normies are recommended 1x10 various low intensity because of the possible soreness that may lead to not returning to the gym
compound exercises are still the way to go
enjoy your rest day and go back at it again

don't try to educate them. Let them burn out after seeing nogains in 2 or 3 months. Educating them on gym shit won't work, no one starting wants to actually face the truth that they have to actually lift heavy weight to get big.
"Everybody wanna be a body builder, ain't nobody wanna lift no heavy ass weight"
>>36783462
Maybe if you used a bit of "socialization" and explained them the difference between messing in a gym and your stuff, you wouldn't feel your current emotions.
>>36783535
>don't try to educate them. Let them burn out after seeing nogains in 2 or 3 months.
this is the funniest thing I've ever read
that's what OP's going to do on his meme routine, not his friends.
>>36783462
the doms goes away quickly, just let them do their shitty cardio routine. or try to educate them, sounds like they probably won't listen though.
>>36783596
The people that fail immediately are the ones in it for aesthetics. They curl for 3 straight months and get all upset when they don't look like Jeff Seid, and they quit. If you do compounds you can track your progress in strength. You're adding 5 or 10 pounds every week and in 3 months you've doubled your squat.
That's what happened to me. 2.5 years in and the physical gains came but I'm still in it for the strength.
>>36783462
In 2-3 months your friends will probably look way more aesthetic than you, and you will look like a fatass farmer with fat thighs because you follow a meme routine.
>>36783535
That's not exactly true, to be honest. Not sure if you're a bodybuilder in the competitive sense or just a guy who is trying to look good, but there's a reason bodybuilding training is the way it is.
>>36783737
Don't try to reason with SS memelifters. We have CBTs every day with people who look amazing posting shit stats and DYEL t-rexes with amazing stats, anyone who's been here should know how it is.
Bodybuilding is about volume.
>>36783536
Already told them what I was doing.
They didn't listen.

Not trying too be an ass here, but you're a complete newbie to this and your only knowledge of lifting is from other retards on /fit/ who either don't lift or look like t-rexes. You're going to regret this a lot a few months down the line, so you probably shouldn't be talking too much out of your ass right now. You're going to look like shit but at least you might be able to salvage your ego.
>>36783918
Well then what should I be doing?
>>36783462
>only doing ss
>claims to be doing it right
>>36783786
>>36783918
>>36783954
Plus half the things they do is just cardio stuff
They aren't even following a plan
They literally do bench presses on leg day
I don't know much but I know I know more than them
>>36783942
>>36784044
Just trying to make you understand that you shouldn't be judging people or offering unsolicited advice as someone who doesn't know what he's doing, what he's talking about and has never had any result.
Not OP
why everyone talks shit about SS, and yet its recomended for beginers? im being memed?
>>36784093
>on the 'ch0n
>asks if he's being meme'd
cmon breh
>>36784093
SS is a meme
SS with accessories isn't
"SS is a Meme" is also a meme
>>36783942
SS w/ accessories. So on Day A you'd have something like:
Dumbbell Flyes 3x8
Skullcrushes 3x10
BB Curls 3x10
Front Lat Pulldown 3x8
Standing Calf Raises 2xFailure
Leg Curls 4x10
And for Day B you could have:
Incline Bench Press 2x8
Tricep Pulldowns 3x8
Hammer Curls 3x8
Back Lat Pulldown 3x8
T-Bar Rows 3x8
And core for like 5 minutes if you feel like it.
Notice how the majority of these exercises are high-volume, upper-body muscle isolation?
>>36784093
You are going to do a routine that has you squatting 3/3 workouts a week, and then you are going to make massive leg and ass gains but no gaind anywhere else.
Then you'll look like shit but be too stuck in cognitive dissonance to say itbwad the wrong choice, and meme others into doing SS on a Finnish engraving forum and circle jerk about your squat no one cares about, because it's shit by PLG standards anyway and you look terrible.
>>36784101
>>36784108
>>36784130
is this SS variarion also worth?
>>36784130
Alright mb I just thought straight SS was good because it it being memed hard.
Thanks for stopping me before I got out of hand.
My friends still don't know what they are doing, I'll see if I can rope them into this.
>>36784162
Where are you trappy? You faggots scared her away.
>>36784162
Looks cool m8, trappy always has pretty good information.
>>36784108
ACCESSORIES ARE PART OF SS READ THE GODDAMN BOOK
>>36784185
She pops up every now and again, usually on routine threads
>>36784185
>her
>>36784201
>she
>>36784253
something wrong bb?
>send them the trappy chan routine
>"it's from 4chan anon"
/newlifter/ here, im doing ss and i was wondering if there is anything i can do on my rest days to help with the gains. Eg: I do ABA workout on MonWedFri, what do on TuThu?
>>36784273
Yes, I'm not fucking trappy.
>>36784185
>>36784201
>her
>she
fucks sake...
>>36784130
>having the energy to do SIX (6) ACCESSORIES for 3 sets each after doing heavy fucking squats, deadlifts and bench.
I mean, this is possible if your barely benching 1pl8 but after doing 3x5 squats at 2.5pl8+, which is easily achievable after 4-5 months for a noob starting at around 1pl8 squat., and then deadlifting and benching/pressing at the same time, there is no way your going to have the energy to do all this shit.
Trappys routine is a much more managable approach on accessories.
>>36784162
>>36784297
The best thing you can do on rest days to help gains is rest
>>36784273
yea, you still being alive, twatwaffle
>>36783786
What are steroids, you fucking high schooler
>>36784357
>muh steroids
typical SS memelifter
>>36783786
You're not going to get anywhere without a good foundation of strength. You can lift your 4kg dumbbells 20 reps in a row and you'll still look like Dyel's grandson and you'll be weak as fuck.
Bodybuilders work out the way they've already built a good foundation that they're now perfecting through different isolation exercises to make sure everything looks aesthetic.
That's not to say that I would recommend a routine without any isolation exercises at all like SS to anyone who has been lifting for more than 3 months.
>>36784297
You can add some accessory/vanity lifts as well (curls, pull ups, dips, lat pull down etc.) as long as it doesn't hurt your ss lifts
>>36784406
Yeah obviously you need to build a base first, but you don't need to waste your time with SS or anything remotely close to SS. All it takes to grow is progressive overload, if you do high volume with progressive overload you'll grow and get stronger.
>>36783462
>sense of superiority over newbie friends
>is doing SS
jesus christ OP i'm sure your friends are really trying to get that t-rex aesthetic. Enjoy being a fat retard lazy blaha
>>36784406
why does everyone assume splits are done with the same weight for 8 years?
all it takes is weight that is YOUR PERSONAL 75% rm, do that shit with enough volume and you will grow. increase when possible.
nobody is telling you to curl 3x12 10kg forever.
>>36783621
i mean maybe if you're retarded. Lifting for aesthetics is a very real thing that works for a lot of people. Just because you get off by your lifting stats doesn't mean anyone else gives a shit, enjoy your shitty blaha body because that is literally the genetic limit of being on a 5x5 3 day a week routine
>>36784185
I hope he killed himself, and I hope you kill yourself too.
The misinformation in this thread is disgusting.
For the love of god OP, just do Stronglifts + accessories.
There's even a SL app for your phone that will tell you exactly what to do, and will let you pick accessories to add.
Doing this will take care of milking your noob gains for all they're worth while also making you look aesthetic.
If you get sick of squats, just alternate between front squats and back squats each workout.
>>36784767
Or you can do SS + accessories
Holy fuck this is so confusing

Best routines ever, if I could go back to when I started, I'd do these.
>>36784767
>being forced to start with the bar
>being forced to start 5x5
SL is the ultimate meme routine, even worse than SS.
Do Greyskull (which is basically just SS with accessories and with rows instead of power cleans because nobody actually needs power cleans).

Should I still be getting sore after working out? I was when I started a few months ago, but not any more. I have enough so that I'm pretty close to close to failure at the end of each set.

i did alright on sl, don't see why people hate on it

but that's just a bf% thing right? Blaha has enough muscle mass to look great at like 12% bodyfat
If you really do go to the gym why are you feeling sore? Unless you are doing a new work out you shouldn't feel that sore. Sorry if im misreading your post.
>>36785717
Impressive, those tiny traps indicate natty too.
