Should I do SL 5x5 until I keep hitting plateaus for getting to decent strength and then move on to 5/3/1 plus assistance to actually look like I lift?
I've only been doing SL for 3+ months so I've still got a lot of time left on 5x5 but I like to have a somewhat fixed plan for the future and also something to look forward to.
Just keep lifting faggot.
Keep doing SL for 3,6,9 more months and then reasses. Its honestly not bad for size or strength, especially for newish people.
Don't buy into the meme of speshul routines pls.
>>42240911
Exactly what I'm doing.
>>42240929
I may even get some Size if I eat enough and keep at it?
Thanks guys.
>You have to flat barbell bench to make any gains
>You have to deadlift to make any gains
>You have to back squat to make any gains
When will these memes die?
Why is /fit/ full of pseudo powerlifters who don't even compete?
Is it because most people here are computer nerds who used to be obsessed with video games? So now they're obsessed with increasing their total and like to think they are superior to other gym goers because they can out deadlift and squat them?
>>42240766
Are you actually implying the guy in your pic doesn't squat, bench or deadlift?
>>42240774
He does, but that doesn't mean you have to to make gains.
Deadlifts are shit exercise for hypertrophy btw. You are betting off doing less physically taxing exercises if your goal isn't strength.
>>42240766
It's about becoming better overall you spastic.
Barbell benching is going to make you stronger
Deadlifting is going to make you stronger
Squatting is going to make you stronger
Stronger = able to move more weight = more muscle = better at burning fat = looks better = healthier overall.
Very few people outside of the /powerlifting/ general on /fit/ advise getting fat to get strong.

The lesson that Jesus is supposed to teach you is this: life is unfair and full of suffering, but if you have faith that speaking the truth and acting decently will make it better, then you can create a better world for yourself and for everyone in the process.
How can you have something against this?
any opinions on their workout plans?

Unless you're at an advanced level there is no need to spend money on a training programme
>>42240484
this
3 days a week FB (TM, Sheiko, 531 monolith)
>pros
Least time spent (2/5 workdays and 1/2 weekend days)
Highest frequency, you can squat and (bench) press 3 times
You get to work on your conditioning by supersetting squats with OHP for example
More time for cardio, easier to schedule it around your lifting so that the two don't interfere
>cons
sessions can be pretty fucking long, unless you drop the accessories
You pretty much have to deprioritize either the squat or the DL, and either bench or OHP
Not enough rest between sessions
You have to drop the volume significantly one day of the week or else you'll burn out by the end of the week
_____________________________________
4 days a week UL (literally 90% of programs online)
>pros
Is also as low as 3/week in the workdays (if you lift 2 days on weekend, you only have to work out 2/5 workdays)
Easier to prioritize all 4 lifts, just prioritize one in the first session on the week and one in the second
Easier to go all out on the main lift of every session, more rest between sessions
Sessions much shorter, way easier to add accessories and still walk out relatively fresh
Extremely popular, so the people doing them must be on to something
>cons
Frequency drops to 2 times a week, despite going to the gym one extra day. So you're pretty much burdening your schedule for nothing.
Less time for cardio

What do? I want to be a SICK CUNT by july 2018
it all depends on your goals and how much time you have per day or week to exercise
>>42240478
>goals
Be a SICC KUNT
>time
enough in the weekends, little in the weekdays. That's not really an issue, because as I said, both routines can be made to take up only 2 out of 5 weekdays.
For example, an UL can be xULxxUL while an FB can be xxFxFxF
>You get to work on your conditioning by supersetting squats with OHP for example
if your conditioning gets worked when doing sheiko or TM, you're doing it wrong.
>More time for cardio
pls no unless it's HIIT
>Easier to go all out on the main lift of every session
whats the point
>>42240478
pretty much this
depends on your definition of sick kunt and what you've done before. you should just about almost have more volume than your previous program, but you probably should also periodize your training. if you have a year, you could do 6 months of hypertrophy focused, 3 months of high volume powerlifting with accessories and then 3 months of just powerlifting and peaking if thats what youre into
Recommended literature focused on self improvement?
Recently i realized i waste too much time on vidya when i have downtime.
Thus i want to get back into reading which i used to do when i was younger.
Anything goes but i would rather see recommendations around self improvement books and stuff.
Be it learning about strength training or even starting and maitaining own /fit/ related business or cooking.
Hit me with recommendations.
Is practical programming by Rippetoe good?
Have fun faggot.

one arm pull ups are one of the most underrated exercises
I got insane hyperthrophy from doing progressions toward the one handed pull up
First time posting on this board.
If this isnt the right place for this. Feel free to delete this.
I guess I just need to know; ive been choking myself since high school (im 23 now) and only recently have I been having convulsions till i drop, and seizures when i wake up. Im just curious as to what this is doing to my body? Am i actually causing any harm here? Does anyone else have the same problem?
It really is an addiction and im not sure what to do.
Thanks in advance guys.

concurrent periodization is generally for beginners
Old back back being put to rest. Need a gym bag. Usually take swimsuit, towel, headphones, resistance bands, wrist wraps, etc... to gym. Whats the best gym bag? Duffel? Canvas? Backpack? Rucksack?
>>42239584
>No micro plates
Do you even shoulder press?
>>42239593
Got your micro plate right here boy
>>42239603
Did you just call your dick micro?
practised parkour for 7years. was pretty fit, could precision jump (2feet together) +3.2 meter distances, frontflip backflip etc, except some of the crazy more dangerous stuff i was a pretty gud parkour boi. started living in vietnam, parkour is not really doable here as im a white monkey in a country of small yellow people so i literally have everysingle person on the street staring hard at me when parkouring... plus the heat is horrible.
also im getting older and my joints arent the same, fck i twisted my ankle a month ago doing basic stuff.
so weightlifting... will i stay explosive? or will i become heavy and slow? i want to have a nice musculature but still keep my body "parkour" capable. i see mostly lifters having trouble managing body weight while airborn

Depends on the drugs you run
Tell me about your genetic fuckups, /fit/
me:
>shitty arm
My right arm is normal and sturdy—
But my left arm is a ring size smaller, join pain, wrist pain, tendon pain, takes months to heal from anything, significantly weaker, joints feel like they're straining to snap when I put weight on it, seriously holds back some lifts
Shitty shoulders
I just randomly wake up with shoulder pain for no reason. Sometimes it goes away after a few hours and I can go to the gym, sometimes it stays for a few days.
Trigger finger.
fingers lock up and can't fully extend
shitty knees that hurt for no reason. Rarely do squats
Acne and shitty fkin chest, also a manlet
Hairline
