You absolute numbskull, you bumbling idiot, none of the constant dribble that has came out of the word spewer you call a mouth has made any sense in the slightest. I hate you and everything you stand for, you fucking devolved orangutan wasting everyones time. Instead of constantly spewing nonsense, pick up a book and learn something, you IDIOT. I have never met someone that's as much as an absolute CRETIN as you. You are a childish and idiotic excuse for a human, you absolute fucking idiotic, brainless, believes everything people tell you, BUFFOON.
Before my gym closed sometime around the start of last month, I was pushing 365x3 on my bench. I'm not even particularly strong and I work at least 8 hours a day in a physical trade and then lift after. You need to examine what you're doing with your body if you want to get stronger. Very few people pop out of the womb as athletes but if it's something you want you need to eat better and lift heavier, my King. I'll legit send you some resources on where to start if you want. I want all of my e-bros to be lifting like beasts.
You work 8 hours of day doing physical shit + 1/2 hours lifting, most people spend 8 hours a day sitting next to a conputer and the remaining 16 jacking off. You know you’re strong fucker. Send me some resources tho.
Alright, I like it. I’m literally in my quarantine bed right now but I’m commenting so hopefully you’ll respond and I’ll give you some useful lifting tips tomorrow when I get up. If I don’t within 12 hours HMU.
what's up brother, I'm going to post this in this thread a few times. Sorry, been a bit busy these past few days.
To be straight up, there's no shortcut or secret trick to getting strong, unless you've got the money and the willingness to play with your health and cycle certain Mexican supplements. That said, unless you're a professional athlete or you know a particularly talented swole chemist to guide you through the process I wouldn't recommend that. I've never used anything other than protein supplements, occasionally a preworkout and creatine.
What trips most people up when they start lifting is that they don't progress as quickly as they want to or don't see noticeable aesthetic gains in the time period they think they should. Everyone is different, but if you're actually looking to get strong you've got to be willing to stick with a program and depending on your diet and genetics it could take some time. It's also work, as in you've got to be willing to hurt and sweat. You also need to be able to identify when pain is from an injury(act accordingly in terms of rehab) and when you're being a little bitch. Eventually you'll get so into it that you will want to disregard legitimate warning signs from your body, but don't.

Here's what you need to do:
Take a look at yourself in the mirror and take note of what you want to change. Have someone moderately competent assist you in finding your max effort lifts in squat, bench and deadlift. Identify where you want to go from where you are. Once you've done that it's time to pick a program.
Reddit is full of weak nerds who love Stronglifts 5x5 but to be honest there isn't much wrong with it, just don't stick with it past a year or so. Here's a link to the stronglifts website: https://stronglifts.com/5x5/
Additionally here's a link to the app which should assist you in keeping track of your progress and setting up/modifying your lifting sessions. https://stronglifts.com/apps/#gref
Look at both of these programs and decide what you feel is best for you, but remember that you have to stick with it once you've made your choice. A lot of people fuck up and hop from program to program without allowing any single program to work over the time needed. Once you're about a year or so into lifting you'll have enough strength and knowledge to serve as an adequate foundation when moving forward and selecting a more advanced program.
With both of the above programs you'll want to supplement with some accessory exercises, I'd suggest both barbell and dumbell curls for aesthetics and farmers walks just for the added strength. ( https://www.t-nation.com/training/farmer-s-walk-cure )
Also, eat well. If you're looking to put on mass you'll want to eat at a caloric surplus. For the first few months that surplus won't matter as much as you'll get what are called noob gains regardless, but once you're in the thick of it you'll want to eat right. You should consume about 1.5-2 grams of protein per lb of body weight. At the end of the day consisting hitting your macros is more important than protein intake though. I won't go into much detail regarding nutrition as I am not a nutritionist and I eat like shit and drink on weekends. I will however link you this. Diet gets trickier the more niche your diet is, ie. vegan, paleo, carnivore, whatever- the overall rules remain the same though.
Basically, figure out what you want, pick a program, eat right and keep working. If you're in your 20s this should be easy and if you start lifting in your 20s you'll probably hit your peak in your mid 30s.
Now, I say all of this as someone who doesn't quite follow the rules and can often be found fucking around and not on program/eating correctly; I'd be a lot stronger and better off if I ate better and stayed on a strict program.
Don't forget to throw in a bit of cardio and maybe go on a distance run once a week.

I'd add that you shouldn't focus on what a lot of people in the fitness community online have to say in regards to their workout plans or diet, a lot of them are on gear and won't admit it. You don't have to be on gear to get strong and look the part, but a lot of diets and the more complex plans you'll see touted on youtube are being run by dudes on crazy amounts of gear. Just stick to the basics for a bit and branch out as you see fit.

Imagine thinking a 250lb bench press and 500lb deadlift is impressive.
1 boyoyoyoyong 2020-04-05
He forgot to mention the rep range, that's what is used for super high volume
1 5StarUberPassenger 2020-04-05
Better.

It's inpressive for a highschooler/freshman, not for anyone who's had time to train properly.

The thing I miss about high school is my weight training coach. He gave bits of wisdom like "don't chase parked cars" and "don't piss in the wind"

It seems pretty good. I can’t even do 100 on bench press. My max is like 80, and only one rep. :(

It's also work, as in you've got to be willing to hurt and sweat. You also need to be able to identify when pain is from an injury(act accordingly in terms of rehab) and when you're being a little bitch. Eventually you'll get so into it that you will want to disregard legitimate warning signs from your body, but don't.

Here's what you need to do:
Take a look at yourself in the mirror and take note of what you want to change. Have someone moderately competent assist you in finding your max effort lifts in squat, bench and deadlift. Identify where you want to go from where you are. Once you've done that it's time to pick a program.
Reddit is full of weak nerds who love Stronglifts 5x5 but to be honest there isn't much wrong with it, just don't stick with it past a year or so. Here's a link to the stronglifts website: https://stronglifts.com/5x5/
Additionally here's a link to the app which should assist you in keeping track of your progress and setting up/modifying your lifting sessions. https://stronglifts.com/apps/#gref
Reddit's fascination with 5x5 aside, I've always been more partial to Wendler's 5/3/1 program. You can read about that here: https://jimwendler.com/blogs/jimwendler-com/101065094-5-3-1-for-a-beginner
Here's an app that is free which I've used in the past: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/531-strength/id1062989244
Look at both of these programs and decide what you feel is best for you, but remember that you have to stick with it once you've made your choice. A lot of people fuck up and hop from program to program without allowing any single program to work over the time needed. Once you're about a year or so into lifting you'll have enough strength and knowledge to serve as an adequate foundation when moving forward and selecting a more advanced program.
With both of the above programs you'll want to supplement with some accessory exercises, I'd suggest both barbell and dumbell curls for aesthetics and farmers walks just for the added strength. ( https://www.t-nation.com/training/farmer-s-walk-cure )
Also, eat well. If you're looking to put on mass you'll want to eat at a caloric surplus. For the first few months that surplus won't matter as much as you'll get what are called noob gains regardless, but once you're in the thick of it you'll want to eat right. You should consume about 1.5-2 grams of protein per lb of body weight. At the end of the day consisting hitting your macros is more important than protein intake though. I won't go into much detail regarding nutrition as I am not a nutritionist and I eat like shit and drink on weekends. I will however link you this. Diet gets trickier the more niche your diet is, ie. vegan, paleo, carnivore, whatever- the overall rules remain the same though.

Basically, figure out what you want, pick a program, eat right and keep working. If you're in your 20s this should be easy and if you start lifting in your 20s you'll probably hit your peak in your mid 30s.
Now, I say all of this as someone who doesn't quite follow the rules and can often be found fucking around and not on program/eating correctly; I'd be a lot stronger and better off if I ate better and stayed on a strict program.
Don't forget to throw in a bit of cardio and maybe go on a distance run once a week.

I'd add that you shouldn't focus on what a lot of people in the fitness community online have to say in regards to their workout plans or diet, a lot of them are on gear and won't admit it. You don't have to be on gear to get strong and look the part, but a lot of diets and the more complex plans you'll see touted on youtube are being run by dudes on crazy amounts of gear. Just stick to the basics for a bit and branch out as you see fit.

I'm going to post this in this thread a few times. Sorry, been a bit busy these past few days.
To be straight up, there's no shortcut or secret trick to getting strong, unless you've got the money and the willingness to play with your health and cycle certain Mexican supplements. That said, unless you're a professional athlete or you know a particularly talented swole chemist to guide you through the process I wouldn't recommend that. I've never used anything other than protein supplements, occasionally a preworkout and creatine.

How do you improve your body for 8 hours a day?
1 bonobo-no 2020-04-05
I don’t care a ton about it but it’s kind of concerning as I’d been lifting weights for like a year 3x a week 30 min.
1 thowaway_throwaway 2020-04-05
I hope you're talking kg.
1 boyoyoyoyong 2020-04-05
At least I hope so

No. I’m talking pounds. I’m very weak.

Doxxing is a form of bullying & in this one regard it is perfectly based.

Nonsense, I would never live in a gaudy Mc'Mansion. I live in a beautiful Queen Anne manor house with my giant penis and washboard abs.

No one with a 200 IQ would live in a gaudy abomination like that but I generally agree with the thrust of the post
1 Doivid_Magnum 2020-04-05
should've replaced the "lives here" mansion with the baste Theodore Kaczynski cottage, and the body with a bloatmaxx build. Then it'd literally be me.
