This is 4 months on SS. Why do I still see people claim that SS doesn't build a nice physique?
Those t-rex legs.
>>35064395
because that is not a nice physique
>>35064395

>>35064395

Nice post man, thanks a lot for that!

thanks

SS is a good routine, just don't GOMAD, you'll only get fat like every powershitter. Aesthetics=low bodyfat, all this tards don't realize that if you gomad at 18%bf you'll end up at 25% and no matter how much you bench press you will always look like shit. That's why most brosplitters usually look better, because their memediet chicken+brownrice is actually better and diet=80% of the result
>>35066820
Thank you! Also powerlifters are not fat - retards doing "powerlifting XD" are fat.
>>35064395
people think SS is a bad routine because they don't understand that it takes longer than 3 months to get a nice physique anyways and SS is the best way to build a muscle base to start with. There are actually retards that think you're supposed to do SS forever or something. It's called Starting Strength for a reason, you're supposed to quit doing it and move on to something more complex once your lifts are beyond the beginner level.
>>35064395
Dude your arms lmao
>>35066891
what about SL ? I love squats, please dont make me resign from them
>>35066891
SS also suffers from these 3 months/4 months posters like OP who start from complete skellies and GOMAD giving off the wrong impression of time. If you're actually a normal body weight and can't eat like a pig progress just won't be as fast.
>>35066891
Why is a "strength base" important before brosplitting?
Consider the following:
>chest: bench
>back: deadlift, weighted chin, rows
>legs: squat, SLDL
>shoulders: OHP
>arms: weighted dips, hammer curls
If you worked up in sets of 5 to a 5RM for each of those compounds before doing the usual high volume brosplit work, what would be wrong with that even for a beginner?
Protip: nothing
>>35066901
Some people just have thin arms mayn, i'm one of them.
>>35070282
nigger do a curl and see if you "just have thin arms."
do a fly once in a while and see if your chest sucks due to genetics or just your shitty training
>>35070258
he said "muscle base", not "strength base". not that it matters because both are retarded. the point of SS is to get big and strong as quickly as possible.
>what would be wrong with that even for a beginner?
there's nothing "wrong" with it, it's just slower than SS. the point of SS is to focus all your attention and resources on the most important lifts and do them heavy and often while eating a lot.
>>35070258
> What's 531
howd you look to begin with?
>>35070302
IMO 531 is GOAT program at all levels.
>>35070296
I curl 40 3x8 and hammer 25 3xfailure at the end of my pull workouts lmao. I'm not saying they don't grow they're just thin.
>>35070311
531 isn't goat on any level. it's not a good novice or intermediate program. it's made for recreational advanced lifters who just want to lift without dealing with the stress of a truly taxing advanced program.
>>35070313
>I'm not saying they don't grow
>I'm just saying they haven't grown
>>35070340
Talking about thickness retard lmfao
>>35070339
>everybody has the same goals and preferences
>>35070313
Yeah with shit form. With those twigs?? Nah
>>35070530
Not O.P. was saying my arms are thin like OP'S though.
>>35070622
Oh. Nah I feel you though. Tfw 14" arms after year and a half of lifting. Feels bad mang
>>35070350
>I'm not talking about size
>I'm just talking about the size
>lmao
