ITT: lifting advice you'd give yourself if you could go back in time
Don't stay natty for more than 2 years if you're always consistent
put all the weights on the barbell and drop it on your neck
that guy who always seems to be looking at you? yes, he does want to fuck. just go for it.
>>37556223
you can actually do the OHP in the squat rack
>>37556244
I wish i had a time machine
Start lifting, faggot.
>>37556223
Do SL 5x5 till you can't anymore, then hypertrophy routine for life
Eat clean and eat a lot
You (as in me personally) need to leg press to get big quads
>>37556242
more detail pls. I'll be at 2 years soon enough
Just talk to her
>>37556366
do you use specific foot placement for leg press?

Stop fucking around so much. Eat enough. Sleep more. Jack off less. Give less of a fuck about what people think of you. Don't fight Ed.

Goooooooodbye horses.
>>37556406
narrow stance with your feet straight will use more quads, wide stance with your feet out will use more glutes. My glutes are big and my quads are shit so I use the former
Don't lift, do bodyweight excersized/isometrics and yoga instead.
>>37556473
thanks bruh

Don't fall in love with her, it will hurt later, a lot.

Excellent. Ty
>>37556223
>start roiding right now and dont waste your time 3 years as a natty.
Start lifting NOW you lazy shit
>>37556223
I'd just convince my 15 year old self starting strength and make me read through it all. I really wanted to lift back then but I had no clue what I was doing and was getting 0 results so I quit. It took eight years before I stumbled across something half resembling a real program.

>Weight lifting for hypertrophy is a waste of time, humans 1000 years ago didn't need it, so start doing Calisthenics!
Don't do SS.
Don't eat like shit and make sure to stretch
Stretch you fucking retard
You're going to tear your shoulder a bunch of times and it's going to set you back like crazy so fucking stretch
>>37556772
Doing ss is the best training choice I've ever done.
Don't bulk like a retard you stupid fat cunt.
lotion your whole body because you're gonna have huge stretch marks. inside of elbow, shoulders, chest.
learn to swim because jogging will destroy your knees. if you must, learn how to strengthen your knees or use the elliptical until you get to a weight you can run safely with.
stick to the fundamentals and master them. meal prep, proper form, progressive overload, frequency/intensity/volume pick 2.
stop eating rice. carbs only from oats, cheerios, and potatoes.
you're too fat to notice this but stop working your obliques because you will become fridge mode with zero taper. it doesn't look nice at all.
you got facial aesthetics of a god. don't waste years of easy pussy in college because you're too lazy to put in the hard work.
Recovery is important. Go to bed early.
don't listen his lies
>>37556223
don't start
>>37556223
Do SS for 6 months, then switch to PPL and eat as much as you possibly can
I still can't believe I was on the same shitty bro split for a year, since noob gains deceived me into thinking that it's an effective program
fixed the photo for u op
To myself 4 years ago: Do not bulk too quickly, you'll just gain a load of fat and waste time later on
To myself 2 years ago: Do not cut too quickly, you'll just lose a load of muscle and waste time later on, and end up causing permanent damage to your stomach
>>37556495
why?
>>37557238
cause I only lifted out of insecurity and for aesthetic reasons, it didn't improve health at all and only improved happiness on a fragile superficial level.
>>37556442
>D'ont fight Ed.
wtf
>>37556772
why?
Eat more
Quit being a bitch about eating more.
>>37557169
I'd fuck her either way. Not as though I will be looking at her face tbqh
>>37556442
>Jack off less
hits home brah
>>/reddit/
Don't get off a 3 day/week full body after noob gains, stay on it forever. Do not ever switch to PPL or Upper/Lower or a brosplit, just stick with full body 3 times a week.
That's what I'd tell me 2nd year self, my 3rd year self and my 4th year self.
5th year now and im finally back on full-body 3/day a week. Wish I had stuck with it the entire time instead of fucking about on splits 4-5-6 days a week.

Great advice. Actually gonna take this post with me
>>37556223
ignore powerlifting programs, do 1 big compound and follow with isolations
Ignore iifym and focus on eating healthy
do cardio every day
for isolations focus on squeezing the muscle not just banging out the reps
3 years ago: Stay in the gym consistently, your health is more important than a little extra money.
Eat more.
Always check your form to make sure it's good.
You'll have bad days where you make no progress. You'll have points where you have to deload. Just keep at it.
Mine is pretty specific to my health stuff, so I don't intend on others to take it.
You're going to cough. Your lungs are always going to be shit, no matter what you do, so just get out there. Don't wait for yourself to get fully better from something, you're just hurting your own recovery by trying to get some comfort. We don't lift for comfort. We don't run or swim for comfort.
Speaking of running and swimming, cardio especially works against us. It's almost antithetical for our body's malfunctions. You just need to do it. If you need to ease up, do it. If you need to take the incomplete on the workout schedule, so be it. But at least try because it can only make you better than not doing it.
Don't bother with fasting. I know you see all the scientific benefits laid out in a handful of studies, but it doesn't work for you. Your body needs more energy than most, and when you work it, you need it on hand, not at the tail end of exertion.
Don't do power cleans until you find a place that has bumper plates. You wind up trying to nurse the weight down at every rep to not draw attention to yourself, and that's part of what will get you hurt. Do rows until you find the bumpers.
Don't go to the gym that mom tells you about. They're completely ill-equipped for what you need, in terms of both actual equipment and the community. You're wanting something much greater than the old folks who go in there to try and stave off death by walking for 20 minutes.
I know you dislike leftovers, but you need to start making more food in advance. It's too easy for you to miss out on your nutrition due to time constraints, and you don't want to replace it with spur of the moment fast food. Again, your body needs more than most, so you need to do everything you can to get it. And do not worry about gaining too much fat. You simply won't. You're body isn't like others, it burns off much more energy.
Find out when the yoga classes are at the campus gym, and go to them.
>>37556223
This is going to go against most internet broscientists but fuck it, get a GOOD trainer. Not some faggot at 24 Hour Fitness who doesn't know anything, but a legit trainer who can show you proper form and will smoke you a lot harder than you would normally go.
That, and seriously, pay attention to your diet.

this isn't /b/ faggot
>>37556223
Nothing in life matters, stop trying so damn hard and learn to let go.
Fall for the squats and oats meme because sprints and oats will only lead to you keeping yourself lean for better times when size is the goal.
Lift with your roommate when you get off of work instead of waiting until deployment.
Don't stop working shoulders and biceps, you're going to abandon accessory lifts when you start OLY/PL and wind up looking disproportionate.
Listen to your own research and not the shills.
Don't stop doing yoga and meditation, the scale is going to play tricks with your mind that really fuck you up.
Eat more, the times you were eating until you threw up were the swolest times of your life.
HYPERTROPHY
You're going to get some temporary brains damage at the pool one day, recognize it before it's too late.
Don't get upset with her at the gym, it's not going to help her cardio
Setting a gym record will do more harm than good.
Stop beating off so much, stop looking at porn and fuck your wife.
The rest of the guys look to you for guidance even though they don't say it. Don't let a few people fall behind.
His back is really fucked up, don't encourage him.
The doctor doesn't know shit about lifting.
Use the steroids wisely, you're going to regret not making the most of them.
Finish your food.

Thanks, me too.
dont fall for the dirty bulk meme
fuck doing ss with your friends just start doing a routine you like on your own schedule instead of missing workouts randomly because coordinating times is a pain in the ass and sometimes they just wont pick up their phones
>>37559555

Do squats you dumb motherfucker.

Don't cut
Don't go to the bridge
Dont jump in front of that car
Go to the day treatment instead of the after school group therapy
Don't quit wrestling
Don't talk to that girl anymore
You're enough
Just stay with your true friends
Don't do anymore drugs

THIS
you waste so much time have to cut after and have to deal with gradually getting fatter and less aesthetic even though you're working out.
If you're serious about this count calories from the start and save a lot of time and disappointment
>>37559555

third for dirty bulk is a meme
Just ask your crush out, seventh grade doesn't come again.
>>37556223

Actually look up which muscles groups the exercise should be working and fix your fucking form if you aren't feeling them.
>>37556223
Lift chest way fucking more. You look like a goddamn clown with a body that huge and a tiny ass chest.
And it's one of the muscles chicks get wet on.
>>37556223
Start a year earlier and start off with cutting because you'll still make gains.
I just started lifting (actually signed up to a gym a few days ago) and came into this thread looking for proper advice, but nope, it's all fucking shit.
>>37556366
This is great advice that I only figured out 3 years into lifting
>>37556223
drop the split
train groups twice a week
>>37556442
..and you let her go
>>37556244
form is king. if you can't lift it with proper form, it's too heavy.

You can never go back. Stop wishing for yesterday.
>>37556223
I'm pretty sure I know this bitch.
Start slow, progress slow, don't overdo it.
You don't need to go to gym every day.
Fucked up my shoulder by overuse. Took me months of therapy to fix it and still have problems.
Just go to the gym. Even if you have a shitty workout or two, going for the sake of consistency is better in the long run.
Either manage not to talk about your opinions whilst drinking, or stop drinking.
Nobody likes a drunk holocaust denier.
I wish future me could give advice to me now when i'm just thinking about starting.
Mainly on what and how much to buy for a homegym.

>temporary brains damage at the pool one day
Uhh what went wrong here?
Do no porn and nofap. When you are horny enough you will naturally start aproaching girls.
Do shitloads of chins and pull ups.
Do your cardio.
Work your forearms. You can hit them ridiciously often. Same goes for abs.
If you don't want to be hungry on cut count calories.
>>37559555
Nice, checked

>You're going to get some temporary brains damage at the pool one day, recognize it before it's too late
You dived into the shallow end, didn't you mate

But then I'd still be under the barbell
>>37559555

Conventional deadlifts are memes, stiff leg barbell back extensions are more than enough.
Don't fall for the lift heavy meme.
Stretch after working out, dynamic stretching before.
Don't eat too much meat, eggs are memes.
Get more veggies in.

>>37567635
Are stiff leg barbell back extensions the same as good mornings? Asking since I dont like conventional deadlifts
>>37561736
Fourthing it. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to maintain strength gains on the program but never tested to see if I could make them at a +500 surplus. I just ate whatever.
If you do this, your bulk will be over way to fast with too few gains. Bulk with discipline and make twice the gains with better aesthetics.
Why the fuck did I gain so much fat just so I could eat whatever? This cut will take months.
Dirty bulking. Never again.
Don't agree to date her because 2 months later a bunch of girls you liked when you were fat will hit you up and they won't yell at you as much as she does ;-;
>>37558977
Why would you say full body is better? I'm on one right now and even guys in this thread are saying a split (other than bro-split) or PPL is better.
She will cheat on you, she lies who she is and she is never that weaboo, little insecure homegirl you think she is. She's been fucking guys behind your back all day while you were suffering at the gym and in school to eventually live a life with your waifu.
That gut feeling you had something was wrong about her?
Its real.
>don't believe her lies
Also, do five chest exercises instead of only incline and flatbed. You'll thank me later when your lower chest is developed. Do dips, bro.
>>37556244
Same tbqhf
>>37558977
I do think full body is better as well, just changing the exercises on the days whenever you feel like it and I think its also very important to focus on one movement in particular for some time
Do SS with accessories not just squats, bench, overhead and dead lift you fucking dinosaur.
>>37556223
dont do ss
dont do olympic lifting without coaching
actually follow through a programme for once
>keep up the lifting after deployment
>make the captain get you a MRI for your ankle
>she's cheating on you, split with her and get with that navy chick.
>>37556772
yep, its much better to fuck around with a high volume split, stall on all lifts, make no gains, and get discouraged
>>37567635
