Yo, I'm 6 foot 2, 150 lbs. I wanna put on muscle. I'm doing ice cream fitness, but The guy at GNC said I'm not doing enough reps and that I should be doing sets of 20+ reps. How bullshit is this?
>>37372262
GNC just wants to sell you shit
do starting strength and GOMAD
thank me in 3 months
icce cream fitness is a ss with accessory work meme
Why would you trust anything that a sales person who wants to sell you shit tells you?
>>37372314
Because there's no way he can make money by telling me how many reps to do.
>>37372283
gomad is the meme of all memes
>>37372344
Shit, everything is a meme.
>>37372314
>sales person
Retail workers don't want to sell you shit. They don't get paid commission. It's just another minimum wage job.
>>37372382
>7 months
>>37372414
well then he's just another misinformed normie
>>37372283
>>37372414
The sales people at GNC get paid commission. This is a fact.
>>37372414
GNC employees do get commission tho
He's trying to gain your trust by giving you advice. Once he gains your trust, he'll be able to sell you things more easily because, well, you trust him. Why would he lie to you?
>>37372494
Yeah giving me extremely bad advice will keep me coming back right?
>>37372518
the entire fitness community is bad advice. and everyone keeps coming back
>>37372262
Tbqh senpai if you're looking to bulk up those arms, my favorite workout was curl 20s for 20+ reps both arms. Also eat some food dood
>>37372382
>not understanding GOMAD is for severely underweight men like OP
Hypertrophy = volume at a minimum intensity (work in a set time). Higher reps lets you get in more volume but lowers intensity. As a noob you will see similar results whether you did 5 or 15 reps as your limited by recovery rate, but 5 will make you stronger. Over 15 will benefit the cardiovascular system more than muscle tissue. Just read some scientific papers instead of trusting random dudes.
>>37372633
shut the fuck up
>>37372613
Got pregnant fom GOMAD??
>>37372320
when you make no gains after trying his advice, you backwards rationalize that since you took his advice he must know something, then go back to ask him what you're doing wrong. He says "oh yeah, i almost forgot, to make gainz you also need this panda liver concentrate powder EXTREME GOLD PUMP EDITION tm." You continue being a chump by believing him and proceed to waste perfectly good protein funds on lining his commission check.
>>37372262
GNC? What a fucking normie dipshit you are. First, order all of your protein and fish oil (and whatever bullshit fake supplements you insist on taking) over the internet. Secondly, why don't you do even the slightest bit of online research to see what routine you need to do to meet your fitness goals. Some shitheel working at GNC probably isn't a top notch exercise science adviser.

At 6'2 and 150 lbs you can literally go to the gym and do what ever the fuck you want as long as youre using progressive overload. You won't make any progress though if you're not eating. You need to be eating a fuck ton of food. I'm also 6'2 and was 150lbs around 19 years old. The hardest part for you is going to be eating enough food
>but...but I eat so much food already!!
Nigga, please
>>37372382
nice gains
>>37374239
Lol imagine meeting this cunt in real life
>>37372262
1. Your height makes no fucking difference
2. Dont listen to that retard. Keep doing ICF.
>>37372613
He forgot to lift.
Generally as a rule of thumb, novice and natty lifters get more size from increased volume, not high reps because you have no size to define to begin with.
