99.9% of olympic weight lifters look nothing like that at all, they mostly look like jason blaha clones.

Infact the guy that beat /ourguy/ klokov in the olympics was a fat dad bod looking mother fucker.

How much do you think they cut right before weigh in? There's no way OP pic is as big as he is in this one.

Is that you? You look like utter shit and of course you look like you think a dumbell is a musical instrument.

No you dont. No back width, shitty forearms, no definition on your neck (indicative of leanness)

just give it to me, I don't want to miss a bunch of days

>>41921976
I had mild sciatica for half a year after being stupid on a lift, lifted carefully with a bit reduced weight on lower body lifts during that time and then it went away. Point is, YMMV.

>>41921888
Rippetoe explained it like this. If you want to lift heavy weight, why would you lift light weight for reps?

>>41921946

You go for PR's each friday, and Jim Wendler style on some front squats, how thats light weight for reps?

>>41921946
t. First year on SS

>>41921823
if the goal is general fitness and why not

>>41921855
This, but if your goal ia to get better at liftinh and gtmnastics, then do lifting and gymnastics.

free weights aint necessary better even though they're are my only lifts since i got into a homegym.
Free weights have the advantage of involving stabilizers muscles and enhancing proprioception.

Still can get big with machines, know a guy who almost only use them. Just know to fully work your body then

>>41921677
This is the redpill on machines. If you don't like free weights, don't use them.

>>41921651
You'll look weird, like that one lean spic who wouldn't stop posting new CBT threads

Compounds give you thickness, don't be a bitch you dyel

6.6miles / 2hrs = 3.3mph

The average person could walk that without breaking a sweat what are you doing?

>>41921275
I can bike 6 miles in an hour, what are you doing?

>>41921275
What the fuck. I used to do 12 miles an hour when I biked. Are you fucking carrying the bike you fat bitch

>>41921051
Heavy fucking squats and deadlifts you literal summerfag retard

>>41921058
Other than squats and deadlifts because this is common fucking sense and in the sticky :)

>>41921051
Hip thrusts.

>>41920987
Post routine, also diet is important and you HAVE to take protein, unless you're on a high protein diet

>>41920987

>Using "stones" as a measurement
>Measuring weight in 14 pound increments

fucking brits

>>41921035
My diet is shit because I hate cooking and homecooked meals and after 6 months I've realized that you literally can't get by if you hate cooking. Is that true for cardiofags as well? Fuck.
>inb4 let your taste adjust
I ate nearly nothing but homecooked meals until I moved out of the house for college and I hated them the entire time

nice rack anon

>>41920977
Beautiful, would you let someone cool anon move over ?

>>41920977
Not the nicest looking stuff, but I wish I at least had that. I'm getting really sick of driving 30-40 minutes just to get to the gym and back.

make what? Auschwitz mode?

>>41920696

I think it's a girl

>>41920650
hope thats kg anon

Not very

kek enjoying 2 turkey burgers with turkey bacon, salami, and an egg. Also has kimchi. Cabbage is vegan, right? Do you know what cruelty goes into producing cabbage? Is cabbage environmentally friendly?

Doesn't matter unless you're about to grow your own vegetables and meat. Good luck finding parent seeds/animals that aren't fucked anyway.

do 3 rep maxes then put them in the calculator

the difference would probably be 1 lb or so, and its much safer

>>41920441
No, that's wrong. Don't fail a rep if you can avoid it.

My max squat is 455. I hit that by warming up like this.

bodyweight squats x 10
135x8
225x5
315x2
365x1
405x1
435x1
445x1
455x1

The most I had ever done prior to that day was 415, so I had to really kind of feel it out. Don't start really high, fail reps, then have to back down. Failing reps is dangerous, teaches you bad habits, and is demoralizing.

i have 5rm, is 3m really that big of a difference

>>41920355
lowbar is less leg intensive, more hip
front is most leg intensive, least hip

>Not doing high bar/front squats
>Making it

High bar is a much better leg exercise desu, plus it looks aesthetic as fuck

>>41920355
less quad involvement
basically works the same muscles as a deadlift
