CRAWLING IN MY SKIN
>>37064905
My squat was better until I went on a cut and started doing cardio every day
>tfw no green legs
I thought I was better... Ill have to push myself this summer.
>tfw full novice just a few months ago
progress feels gud
WHY AM I SO FUCKING IMBALANCED
>>37065131
Don't get me started on the binch
Also does anyone know if Neutral Grip Chinups are easier/harder than regular ones? I do those and SymStr doesn't have an option for them
ayyy

noob gains?
>>37065592
you overhead press 94 kg after 4 months starting from 130 lbs? or 130 kg?
>>37065671
dude idk the stats are fucked up
heres the real thing
started 59 with overhead press 40
>>37065292
I'm not joking. My bench and OHP platued for months while I progressed on deadlift and squat. I just recently broke out of these platues.
>>37064882
Want to trade some of that chest?
>>37065182
thanks rippetoe
>>37065516
Nope what?

Im strongfat so I have nothing to show off. High muscle high fat.
Not impressive since i cant cut properly.
>>37065717
70kgx10 @ 72kg bw after 4 months? wut
>>37066397
idk why
heres a pic
>>37066645
From your pic I'd say those stats should be in pounds
I made it to novice mode /fit/. I know that's shitty, but I started at about half untrained half subpar.
>>37066833
great, now get to intermediate
>>37066848
I will.
>>37066873
great, then get to proficient
9 mos liftan
5'7 160
Just under 70 kg. About 6 months since I started SS but probably about a month of missed sessions due to a shoulder injury. Only just been getting into regular OHP for the past couple of weeks. Is it a good start, /fit/?
>>37066914
Novice means you are weak compared to people who give a shit, but stronger than almost anyone who doesn't lift at all. So it's a good start, keep going.
>>37066914
Any start is good, you can have a 3pl8 squat in 7 months if you keep at it
A month ago all my lower body lifts were 'sub-par', so I'm actually happy with this.
>>37065161
what's your favorite Neutral Grip Chin-ups song?
>>37066978
I don't understand why sub par is worse than untrained
>>37066978
london?
>>37067011
It's worse than the average untrained person
>>37067011
There's no good way to say "you're such a sack of shit that you're weaker than someone who has never picked up a weight before" so they just use "sub-par".
>>37067016
I refuse to post pics , just use your imagination
I think I fucked everything up by starting to run on my off days. Not crazy long distances or anything, like 2-3 miles three times a week.
>>37066797
they should but arent
>>37067065
nobody even asked you for pics you cow
>>37067088
Don't be shitty.
>>37067176
You're being shitty by making yourself out to be the center of attention. "LONDON" is a meme, no one is asking to see your doughy untrained body.
>>37065206
its fake retard
>>37067517
It's a joke, moron
>>37067517
>>37067546
You're both stinky doo-doo heads
I don't like bench press okay.
2yrs
Low test
>>37067592
That's a piss-poor excuse and if you keep it up you're going to hate yourself eventually for not improving your bench sooner.
>>37067592
why do people not like bench ill never understand. out of the four lifts its the only one that doesnt beat the shit out of your body. push day for me is like a rest day
>>37067622
>hate myself
>for not improving my bench
lol it's actually so pointless tho
>>37067613
Why are you making a "low test" excuse? Proficient is usually people with 2+ years. For the most part there's nothing wrong with your progress.
>>37067639
>lifts for strength
Bench will improve your strength
>lifts for aesthetics
Bench will improve your aesthetics
>lifts for girls
Bench and curls are probably all you have to do for girls
What goal do you have that bench is pointless for?
>>37067664
I feel bad about the progress
>>37067088
No thats a great amount of cardio. Just keep up the diet!
>>37067517
My 350 lbs. Squat and 150 lbs. Bench would beg to differ.

In case anyone wonder how a perfectly symmetrical lifter would lift
>>37070472
http://symmetricstrength.com/
Been lifting in school since september
Bench is so weak compared to others because we do that on Mondays and the first 3~ months of school I had to skip 3rd period which was weights.
>>37070575
Dude how much do you weight?I mean you have a 235 lbs squat that is considered proficient
>>37070592
I weigh around 135
>tfw fell for the ss is not a meme meme
Also why the fuck is my deadlift stalling but my squat is progressing so much
>>37070648
Because they're not the same thing. If your weakness on the deadlift isn't something that would also limit your squatting, one will go up while the other languishes.
Or you could be cutting depth.
it's shit I know. But at least I didn't fall for the SS Meme
>>37065126
Maybe we can combine our powers to become the teal man
>>37070805
purple shitskin
>>37070836
at least I press a pl8 that's more than most of /fit/ can say :^)
>>37070690
you know why you're lifts are shit then.
>>37070690
Maybe stop falling for the SS is a meme meme and get a symmetry score of over -100
>tfw fell for the SS is a meme is a meme is a meme meme.

stay mad t-rexes
>>37071018
Man I would love to reply with some fun bants, but you really need to move the conversation forward for that.
0/10 couldn't even respond even though I wanted.
why
I want die
>>37071085
Don't sweat it. Just fix it.
I wish someone could tell me is SS is a meme or not.
Every time someone posts progress on it, even jokingly, it's either lackluster, or t-rex mode.
I've never seen anyone, in two years of lurking /fit/, ANYONE, ever posting themselves, looking good, and accompanying the post with "Man, look at how well SS turned out, I'm so proportioned and strong now".
I started stronglifts one month ago and I'm progressing, but shit.
>>37071092
I was idiot and slipped a disk so i can't deadlift or squat any more than i can for another few years
>>37071097
its not a meme for complete beginners. Just dont stay on it for more than 9-12 months.
>>37071097
SS made me strong, and that's what it's suppose to do.
My muscles got bigger and I got stronger. I have ZERO complaints except that my bench press DID NOT GET STRONG.
For months I could not break my bench plateau until I discovered Greg nuckols novice 3 day bench program and now it's fucking flying.
I'd say run SS if you want to get stronger faster, however if one of your lifts aren't getting strong then run another program for that lift.
Mad cow 5x5 is fun though and not challenging like SS is, but progression is far slower.
>>37071107
Nine months? Most people don't last twelve weeks on it before they're stalling.
>>37064882
Since you can't input your HEIGHT in symmetricstrength, am I correct in assuming manlets rank up faster?
>>37071107
But why do it in the first place when other beginner programs can be kept for much longer and without turning into a disproportioned freak?
>>37071117
What if I have zero use for actual strength and I just want to look nicer
I know OHP is horrendous, I neglected it for too long, but fixed my form now and finally see progress again.
>>37071121
Very few beginners programs last much longer than SS. The nature of linear progression is that it just does not last long for most people.
>>37071118
You're gonna stall a couple times on it. Its expected.
>>37071121
The program itself is alright, but its the format that makes it great. 3 days heavy lifting is optimal for beginners. A similar push/pull/legs routine would be just as good.
Personally I started off with SS for maybe a year or so. I ended up being disproportionate with huge legs and an average upper body, but I had built the strength required to move onto another routine and eventually evened out.
>>37071142
Stronglifts claims to be something you can keep indefinitely even though you'll pleateau at some point.
Is its site lying?
>>37071147
See, that's exactly my point.
Why do SS when you could do SL (as far as I can see they're almost identical), or tweak the program so that you're even from the start, instead of needing to fix a mishappen musculature?
>>37071160
Mehdi is lying through his fucking teeth if he claims that.
>>37071160
Because SS is arguably easier to follow and beginners shouldn't ''tweak'' proven routines. Ive personally never done SL, but I'm certain there are much better programs for intermediate lifters (531 for example)
>>37064882
liftan for 6 years now
>tfw balanced as fuck
>>37071227
Lifts.
Seriously Lifting on and off for 2 years
>>37071224
Jeez, have you been doing SS all the time?
>>37071242
nope never did SS do 3 day splits
but my chest is just horribly weak i estimate that i would be around 160kg atleast on bench if it were to be balanced with my squat progression and deadlift
pic is from like 2 years ago, chest wont grow
>>37067232
>girls make you this mad just by talking
Lol
>tfw whole body on subpar except pecs are untrained
>kill me
>>37065717
Wait you overhead press more than you push press? Something's very wrong there.
>>37071227
real life pepe
yes I jelly
>>37065592
how the fuck do you have a lower push press than ohp?
3 months into SS
