>>37654508
Next year will be my year lads. I will have a job to save up some ££, have more mass and maybr cut below 12%
>>37654759
This senpai. Didn't have the dosh for festival tickets this year and I'm like 2% bf higher than I want to be atm so my current plan is to work a chitton and to lean bulk (500 cal surplus 6 days a week then PSMF on my 1 rest day) til around next April/May then go full suicide cut (PSMF with 15 minutes of HIIT and at least an hour of LISS every training day whilst on DNP and ECA with a carb refeed to +100 cals on my rest day) until I drop down to at least 8% and maintain from there.
>>37654895
That's gonna be quite the cut. How much experience do you have with DNP?
>>37654895
you seem to have your shit in check, a word of warning though, 8% is a bitch to maintain, a couple of days in succession where you aren't completely centred around your diet and you could potentially shoot up to 10% immediately
>>37655218
None whatsoever but I get the hang of things easily and have already done a ton of reading into it as well as into bicycling supplements which I don't plan on using for at least another year

Same here fellow brah
Closest to me is Evolve in Antigonish or Ile Sonique in Montreal.
Evolve is a fucking shit-show and idk if I can handle Quebec without killing someone tbqh
Why is there the dichotomy between Aesthetics and Strength?
My main goal is, sincerely, not to have to spend hours at the doctor with 50. (I'm 30, not a 21yo virgin now. Let's be honest, the women like it as soon as you're thin with broader shoulders than 90% of other men.)
Being flexible is more important than big arms to me. What would I have to adjust to integrate this perspective?
Not like I'm clueless, but what I do now is far removed from an Aesthetics-crew clique, and I miss the social motivating aspect.
>>37656054
Idk im 30 and i do both. Tbh i never got the aesthetics until i started lifting heavy af
Sure you have to incorporate isolations, but the majority (75% roughly) of my gym time is still the big 4
>>37654895
Train hard and good look on your bulk bro, make sure you're also work on your social and brain gains too. It's only a matter of time. We're gonna make it bro
>>37656207
>social and brain gains
I've got brain gains sorted out, social gains are mostly there but do you (or anyone else ITT) think it'd be worth getting into PUA on top of bodybuilding?
>you will never look like this
>>37656243
>PUA
it's better to just read up on game/seduction in general. That way you know what to do after you get the number
I've heard The Game by Neil Strauss is a good book
>>37656054
Have you heard the good news about starting strength brother.
will have my first festival this summer in July. Looking lean and happy with my cut, already got a lot of mires when I went out at a beach town last week.
>>37656243
>PUA
Just be a normal human bean.
>>37656243
It really depends on how far gone you are, like for me i finished high school with absolutely no clue how to interact with women and certainly not how to make a move. If you're in my position or you're just trying to improve you can use PUA as a crutch but nothing more, use what you read as a framework to build your own personality around. It will teach you the basics. The more natural ("you") the approach is the better. Also it improves your inner state of mind, helps you to rationalise and feel less anxious/nervous when interacting with women and very soon tfw no gf, won't be a feel.
Read Mark mansons models and book of pook they are god tier for PU. Also watch simple pick up on youtube some of thier advice is very good but treat it with a pinch of salt. Read other books like How to win freinds and influence people, no more mr nice guy and watch videos like Charisma on command on youtube, this will inprove your overall day to day interactions with eveybody and help to make you more charismatic and charming.
Will dropping my bf will make me look more aesthetic?
>>37654508
Anyone else on that fuccboi level?
>ohp 1pl8
>bench, squat, dead all 2pl8
Aayyyy
>>37657143
>dead 2pl8
How and why? Deads are fun as fuck.
>>37654508
damn zyzz was good looking
(n-no homo)
>>37657120
No but at least you won't be gay anymore
>>37658902
*no hetero
>>37654736
where to cop those shorts
>>37654508
In a thread a few days ago, someone told me that Greyskull LP does wonders for aesthetics while also providing strength. Is this true?
hit legs for the first time in almost three weeks, thank god i can still squat my working set. mixing sports and leg day can be a bitch. how is summer affecting your routine /fit/?
>>37660849
Can't find the exact ones but Shavershian Fitness and Big Red Apparel both sell shorts that are the exact same but with their own logos on instead of the one that the shorts in that picture have,
>>37661384
Besides getting harsher on my cut and lowering the amount of D3 I supplement it isn't really desu
Fuuuuaaaaaaa

sup boys, melbourne aus, is there any good festivals around now that stereo and future are gone?
Is PPL best for aesthetics?
>>37663572
If you're natty yes
>>37663342
get on accutane during autumn/winter instead (well depending on where you live) since you're not allowed to be out in the sun during the cure
>>37656243
RSD
Will get your sex life where you want it to be, and help you be more fulfilled overall.
>>37663300
>>37663336
Duly noted. I didn't think really big pecs were that aesthetic tho, thought they looked better a bit flat imho
>>37657143
They are gay
For the PPL routine, do you just do the same push, pull, or leg workouts each respective day or have sonething like:
Push A
Pull A
Legs A
Push B
Pull B
Legs B
Rest
Where A and B are different workouts.
>>37663746
Please guide me on where to start/what to read and watch from RSD man
What's with Aussies and there garbage festivals?
>>37664270
I do:
Push A (bench focus)
Pull A (deadlift focus)
Legs (squat focus)
Push B (OHP focus)
Pull B (barbell row focus)
Legs (squat focus)
I know some versions do the first 3 heavy and the second 3 light (or vice versa), some do like I have but with a Legs B focusing on front squats and some do the same PPL twice in a week.
>>37654508
I've been strength training fit a year with SS and Texas method and have made some impressive size gains. Wyatt sit of accessories would you add to become a sick cunt?
so far I've been hitting bis and Tris with curls and cables, but what else should I work on that's missed in a strength routine?
>>37662753
>what should I work on
getting that """""""""tattoo"""""""""" removed
Next summer I am unironically going to Thailand for three weeks. Mostly to train muay thai but also to fuck some sluts I guess.
>>37664618
>/fit/izen goes to thailand
that doesnt end well
>>37664614
i know
i was 16, drunk af and wanted to fuck the girl who did the tattoo ><
>>37664618
Heard they have some awesome spas with saunas. You should get into that too.
>>37664641
>>37665221
I'm not on steroids nor do I have a congenital heart condition. ;)
Is pic related aesthetic?
>>37665914
What the fuck is with that facial expression?
>>37666038
It's the face gains you make on a cycle of OJ and BOT
>>37662691
Pajeet in the back is picking up sloots
>>37663342
Tanning should help a lot
>>37662753
>what to work on
Try training your chest for once srs I can barely see that chit
>>37663215
>I feel like my chest is too developped already
>>37666204
my chest is srsly not that bad... it's becuase im flexing my lats, srs
>>37666242
Pic related is how a good chest should look
>>37666299
can you get a chest like that natty with just benchpress?
>>37666242
Lot better than first pics but still need to work it
>>37666299
>>37666242
>>37666204
nigga that is god damn steve cook, not natty at all.
>>37664510
How would Push A and Push B differ for you? Just Bench first on A and OHP afterwards? Then for B do OHP first, then Bench?
I do the main heavy compounds for each movement first followed by a couple accessories.
I'm doing mine just Bench then OHP for each push day. Then deadlift-->row for pull and squats for legs.
>>37667114
Heavy bench for sets of 5 then lighter OHP for sets of 8 on A and vice versa for B
>>37666714
This pic you replied to is like 6 months ago, the other one is this morning. Like i said, when flexing lats your pecs sometimes look small.
How does one get Chadsthetic?
>>37667147
You wouldn't happen to be on that PPL from leddit, would you?
>>37668194
Yeah I'm running it until I hit 1/2/3/4 then I'll switch to coolcicada's PPL
Hey lads do you think this is alright? I'd ask routine general but then a trap would tell me to do a power lifting routine.
AxxBxCx
A:
Bench 5x5
Chin 3x8-12
Squat 5x5
Row 3x8-12
Face-pulls 3x10-18
B:
OHP 5x5
Row 5x5
Bench 3x8-12
Face-pulls 3x10-18
Calf raises 3x8-15
C:
Dead 1x5
OHP 3x8-12
Chin 5x5
Lateral raises 3x8-15
Calf raises 3x8-15
>>37668256
That basically is a powerlifting routine

Supposed to be a hybrid because I do need to get my lifts up a bit before I go full out hypertrophy. Is it decent?
>>37668256
That looks like ICF.
>>37668324
If you want a hybrid do Reg Park's 5x5, Greyskull LP or leddit PPL
>>37655408
same
I'm 5'6 how do I into music festivals
>>37668355
Don't bother, not even joking if you're below 5'10" and want to bodybuild you should go for the mass monster look rather than the aesthetic look. The reverse is true for over 5'10".
>>37668378
yeah I'm going for jeff nippard mode

Just need a tan and then I think I'm set
>>37654508
I've always loved EDM and now that I'm finally living on the west coast I told myself I'll be able to catch some of these on person rather than online, but haven't gone to my first one yet.
Can anyone aware of me the best annual (or any really) ones I should look out for??
>>37669097
You just missed out on edc. Look for any insominac or hardfest events. The next big rave you probably want to go to next is beyond wonderland
went for an easy push day but still got an insane chest pump
>>37654508
yes i am
>>37669244
>>37669274
ew dont mistake me for those flthy muslims. im a white man. pic related, my ex. i may be white but i fuck all races.
I have huge quads due to cycling a lot during puberty. I even was in a cycling Team. Is there something I can do to get them smaller and leaner?
>>37669394
Don't train them as often.
what should i work on? it's winter here so im slow bulking for another few months
>inb4 everything
>>37669413
incredible progress my man
do you have any advice for someone who kinda looks like you in the middle pic right now?
>>37669413
congrats my man
If when I flex my last it looks like I have no chest at all should I work chest more?
>also just saw a guy that I thought had a good body before I started lifting, now he looks like a skinny twink
>>37670100
>lats
>>37658922
>not aesthetic

>>37669413
That's some excellent progress, anon. Proud of you.
>>37654508
As a very frequent festival goer I would advise you to not go to a festival in shirtless bro mode. Girls will avoid you like the plague. You can expose a lot of skin but make it part of an outfit, something like. Shitless bro mode is a one way ticket to going home empty handed.
>>37670846
>this
>start with shirt on then have it get strategically ripped to show muscles
>then you can take your shirt off and keep it over shoulder
>>37670995
>tfw no aesthetic crew to go with and be shirtless bro
Anyone going to Hard Summer? Hoping this will be the first festival I won't be embarrassed to take my shirt off at
>>37671048
>same here anon
>>37666632
yes but not everyone can. need at least dips and flies in general
>>37669413
height?
>>37669307
That's just your white imperialist DNA at work.
>>37666299
>>37666730
He's looking smaller than usual.
Just got my first stringer tank today, went all in on the yellow.
>>37669662
eat!! don't worry about bulking too hard, just train as hard as you possibly can, i did a 6 day PPL, try get your numbers up too
>>37669876
thanks bro

>thinking a specific routine can help more than one person
just fuck my shit up
>>37673378
I don't really follow a 'routine' like greyskull or SS or w/e, totally made my own at this point. But for the past 6 months roughly, I do stuff like this:
Day 1:
-Back Squat 5x8-3 (heavy)
-Single Leg extension 5x12-8 (point your foot slightly outwards to hit vastus medialis/sartorius)
-Leg press 5x8-3 (heavy)
-Weighted lunge (I walk the length of a studio 6-8 times)
-standing biceps curls 4x12-8
-concentration curls 4x15-10 (cables, DB, BB vary it, focus on the movement)
-reverse BB curls 4x12-10
-Seated calf raises between sets
Day 2:
-Bench 5x10-4 (heavy, mostly BB but sometimes DB)
-incline DB press 5x12-8
-flies 5x15-10 (incline, flat, DB, machine, cables, etc... I switch it up every week)
- weighted dips 4x12-8 (lean forward slightly, keep elbows pointed out to feel it in chest, go low)
-low cable crossover 5x15-10 (my go-to chest exercise. Along with DB pullovers, these are hugely underrated)
- abs (knees to chest, hanging leg raise, ab wheel)
Day 3: (this day is hard af, use PWO or eat like a horse before)
-Deadlift 6x10-3 (volume, i switch between sumo and conventional)
-Kneeling leg curl 5x15-10
-seated leg curl 5x12-8
-weighted hyperextensions 4x12-10
-weighted pull-ups/chin-ups 6x12-6
-lat pull-down 5x12-8 (vary the grip, wide, close, use different attachments)
-Rows 5x12x8 (again vary, DB, seated, vary the grips, sometimes one-arm, etc...)
Day 4:
-the press 5x12-6 (military, DB)
-side-cable raises 5x12-8
-rear-delt fly 5x12-8 (cables, leaning forward with DB, sit backwards on pec-deck)
-lateral raise 5x12-8 (this is the go-to delt exercise. start with the machine, one arm at a time, slow, controlled movement)
-DB lateral raise 6x12-8 (make them fucking count. this is where your delts grow)
-facepulls 5x12x8
-CGBP 4x12-8 (heavy)
-tricep pushdown 6x15-10 (use the testicle cable and make sure you spread at the bottom. Using a bar is a waste)
>>37674150
you forgot uploading gay pics to a ChingChong image board
>>37674150
> cont.
Day 5:
-back squat 7x15-10 (volume. Try not to lock out the rep, time under tension is key here)
-split squats/step-ups/lunges (some kind of quad exercise, I vary it)
-Bench 6x15x12 (volume again)
-incline DB press 5x12-8
-DB pullovers 5x12-8
- abs (knees to chest, hanging leg raise, ab wheel)
Day 6:
-Deadlift 4x6-1 (heavy, mostly conventional)
-leg curl/back extension/rack pull (something to complement the posterior chain)
-weighted pull-ups/chin-ups 6x12-6
-lat pushdowns 5x12x8 (these isolate lats well, like a tricep pushdown with your arms locked)
-BB rows 5x12x8
-Seated calf raises between sets
I don't follow this word for word, but this is basically what I do in the gym. I don't cardio at the gym often, I'd rather bike or play sports. I don't train at home on top of this, like I used to. I used to do push-ups, light DB stuff, ab stuff, etc... but now I just rest when I'm not in the gym or doing cardio.

That sounds like a ton of effort to get laid
>>37674804
I could get laid anyway but it's for the whole "aura" and shit
Would it be worth doing a supplements guide for this general?
>>37654895
Got a good laugh out of having such a Grand Plan kind of scheme going. In my head I could just hear this evil villian cackling...
>yeees, yes, it's all coming together now. And now with a dash of rat poison the final stage will be complete.
This is why I shouldn't wake and bake, probably wont get shit done because I'll be imagining that entire scripted plot playing out in my head for the next 2 hours.
>>37675394
Kekked what's your plan for reaching your /aesthetics/ goals by next Summer? Also smoking weed might be bad for your aesthetics in the long term brah.
I'm currently 20% BF at 160lbs 5'8. Should I bulk to my goal weight (190) then cut or cut to 15% then clean bulk? I'm not sure what to do bros.
>>37675361
>SPEND YOUR SHECKLES AT BB.COM GOYIM
fuck off with your supps bullshit, buy some test and tren
>>37675361
Oh god. Free information, brought to you by GNC and Bodybuilding.com!
Jokes aside, that is a cool infograph. But honestly telling a new lifter (most people who come here striving for aesthetics usually fall into this category) he needs anything beyond the simple staples (Creatine, Fish Oil, Multi-V, preworkout and protein shakes optional if needed) is an invite for disappointment and wasted money/time/tears.
>>37675420
I always have my next 6-12 months planned in excel with checkpoints/milestones noted and such. Basic summary at this point is:
1. Continue maintenance at this bf/weight until September.
2. Lean bulk @ +300 through Dec
3. (Optional quick 2-3 recomp in Dec based on how my physique looks)
4. Continue Lean Bulk peaking in April.
5. Projected cut from 12-14% back down to single digits again, should only take 4-6 weeks.
Regarding the weed...it's my substitute for alchohol. Haven't had a drop in probably 6 months. Infinitely healthier than alcohol, and zero cals ftw.
