/fit/. what would happen if i just squatted, paused benched, and deadlifted. occasional farmer's carries/static holds. would i develop muscular imbalances? how can you get muscular imbalances anyway?
You would look like shit but probably go bear mode. Be strong as shit, I don't know. Danold Green has too heavy delts for his chest.
why would anyone study such an autistic thing. go to the fucking gym and lift you faggot

not to study, you fuck. for my programming.

it's not over til the fat lady sings, bitch.

I could've sworn I heard your Mom Christmas caroling.
probably nothing, desu
>>35290542
what programming you dense cunt, theres a wide variety of proven workout routines. What you need is to take your thick, smart noggen and find a well-touted routine that you fancy, instead of this research bullshit
>>35290542
the title literally says "minimalistic training leads to muscular imbalances? a thesis".

i'm trying to just bench, squat, and deadlift, tho. don't you fucking get it? i don't wanna snap my shit up.
>>35290584
Agreed. What do you think OP should do? 5x5 or Blueskull EP?
>>35290508
I mean you wouldn't look like a sculpture, you'd just be a big strong guy like most guys who do hard manual labor but don't actually lift.
>>35290508
You can. You get muscular imbalances mostly from opposing muscle pairs being worked out unevenly (yes, I'm simplifying like a motherfucker here).
It isn't guaranteed, because a lot of the indirectly targeted musculature is going to depend on your form and proportions.
>>35290508
Squat
Deadlift
Bench
Row
Overhead press
Pullup
These are the building blocks of a good routine and is the 'minimalistic' training you should do
>>35290942
Under simplify for me?
>>35290950
why pull-ups?
>>35291662
It doesn't have to be pullups (could just as easily be chin-ups or lat pulldowns) but for balance sake you want a vertical pull to go with your vertical push (ie OHP or similar).
>>35291685
Any other basic tips? This is for pl Purposes and PLG Is a cesspool.
>>35290614
Because OHP, rows, core/arm/calf work, and Romanian deadlifts snap your shit up? I don't advocate blindly following the beginner programs, but you're too uninformed not to. No offense, just my honest opinion. We were all there once. Go with SL, add Romanians, come back in 4 months. Watch lots of Jason Blaha and read Greg Nuckols and Eric Helms
>>35291722
that's what I'm saying, i wanna be minimalistic without snapping my shit up. if i just bench pressed for 20 years i'd look pretty fucked up.
>>35291722
i want the core lifts without too much fancy shit is my point.
>>35291722
>hes too uninformed
>suggests romanian deadlifts
>said he wants it for power purposes
>calf work
