I have some questions about this routine, and other stuff.
-Would it be acceptable to change the main lifts from 3x5 to 3x8 and get rid of AMRAP?
-Am I supposed to increase weight every session or every week?
-I want to go to the gym every day, is there anything I can do on my rest days? Bodyweight, cardio, abs, etc?
-Should I do the very popular and well rated Reddit PPL instead?

amrap is a central part of the program so not doing it is kinda missing the point
>>41699710
>3x5 or 3x8
you can do whatever you prefer, but 3x5 is better for strength gains. And yes you can get rid of the AMRAP, it's not gonna make a big difference
>Am I supposed to increase weight every session or every week?
Every session. You can do it since you're a novice. Use micro-plates since you won't be able to sustain big jumps every session for long. Milk your linear progression gains.
>I want to go to the gym every day, is there anything I can do on my rest days? Bodyweight, cardio, abs, etc?
Yes, but you have to slowly incorperate it into your program since you wouldn't be able to recover for your next lifting session. When you've adapted, You can do LISS cardio (low intensity cardio) every day or on rest days. And maybe GPP work 1-2x a week.
>Should I do the very popular and well rated Reddit PPL instead?
NO. It's absolute dog crap for naturals and especially beginners. You will get the best gains on a fullbody 3x a week program such as OP's pic.
Hope that answered your questions.

The guy that wrote that has a max squat of 275lbs lmao
Where do I find the motivation to work out? Been going for 3 months doing SS, but I am not feeling it today, I am tired.
You can't control motivation
You need discipline
>>41699607
Bruh do you even want pussy?
Think about your future wife.
Would you rather be the guy who doesent miss a day, or the guy who casually goes to the gym. This is the difference between a 7/10 or a 9/10 gf/wife. 10/10 are reserved for the richboys
>>41699654
What if I only miss a day?
You ever dropped a dumbell on your finger tip?
Any injuries you've experienced at the gym?
Pic related.
what´s up with the skin in your hand m8 ?
also, you should make a hole in your nail if you don´t want it to come off
Some idiot racked a 45lbs plate on the 25lbs slot and when I went to pull a weight from below it knocked the 45 off and it landed directly on my big toe. I was screaming so loud internally but didn't even flinch because I was surrounded by people. I hobbled to the bathroom to inspect the damage. Nothing broken but it looked nasty.
The next day in school I had a chemistry test and the period before I said that a desk leg fell on my toe so I could go home lmao. Like 2 weeks later my nail came off and it didn't grow back for about 6 months.
Dropped a 45lb plate on my toe with no shoes on :(
like what kinda exercises do i need
is there a specific diet? a lot of people said no beef
Butt exercises, and drink semen
>>41699617
why semen?
>>41699660
you're gay nigga thats why
Anyone else on /fit/ not exercise? I just eat a paleo diet and look better than 90% of American men.
I'm here for fit girl pictures.
>Anyone else on /fit/ not exercise?
I try too, but I haven;t started consistently yet and I am aware of the lies I tell myself
Basically I'm only on /fit/ when I am going through depression phase
When I used to lift, eat well, work, study, school I didn't use the internet as much for this type of need however these days I'm alone living on my own across the country. /Fit/ everyday

I've never fasted before. How should I go about doing it for the first time?
>>41699041
>falling for the fasting meme
>>41699041
>How should I go about doing it for the first time?
You DON'T. Fasting is stupid and pointless.
>too undisciplined to eat FEWER calories
>has to go to extremes
>can't be bothered to change his eating habits
>will end up fatter than before
Get correct or get rekt OP
>>41699041
>How should I go about doing it for the first time?
Don't put food in your mouth. Wow, that was hard.
>Gyno
>Man boobs
>Moobs
Most studies say roughly 40% of young men under 25 have some form of gyno.
Is DIM effective in getting rid of moobs?
It's supposed to lower free estrogen in the body and increase test.
Thoughts?
>>41698832
>natural supplements
>ever
Just bench more, and lose bodyfat. if it persists after, and really badly, save for surgery.
I have a hard time believing that 40% of men under 25 have "hormonal gyno". But I can believe 40% of men under 25 have "overweight man tits".
>>41698912
it's something like 40% of men under 25 have had some sort of gyno at some point. It's almost always just a hormonal thing in puberty that isn't noticeable then goes away
I no longer see purpose in life. What's the most /fit/ way to kill myself?
>>41698204
Barbell neck falls 1x1
Jokes aside don't actually kill yourself
>>41698204
There is always purpose you just haven't opened your mind yet
squatting with increasing weight until you inevitably guillotine yourself
I wanna learn how to swim /fit/
I'm planning to take private lessons at my local rec center but they are giving me alot of options and dont know which to pick.
Its kinda of expense too and they charge for each session. Should I be able to learn how to normally swim and float in under 4 sessions? or more?

I wish I had that chad's shoulders, height and face

My goal is to be builtfat, like in pic related.
I've got the frame for it, I think. I'm 6'1" and ~190 lbs, currently what I would call the low end of chubby (I comfortably wear a size medium).
So, /fit/, what can I do? What should my macros look like? Should I be eating a little more to bulk or a little less to cut? Or simply add lifting to my current lifestyle? Since my goal is somewhere in the middle, I need some direction.
Also, workout plans would be a great bonus. Though the above questions are my main concerns getting started.
>>41698102
That is more bear mode than built fat
>>41698102
Forgot advice oops its pretty much bulk for long periods and when cutting never cut down that low macros should be 40% protein 40% carbs 20% fat
>>41698146
Good shit. Thanks, anon.
Anyone else care to weigh in?
Is he natty, /fit/?
>>41697307
He started training like 5 or 6 years ago and he must be 42 years old now, so I guess thats a no
Not huge, not insanely ripped
Donovan could be natty but in the end who knows, he might have done a couple cycles to reach these results faster
>>41697423
You cant keep gains like that unless cruising
>there are people who unironically hate doing squats
How can anyone be this cucked? Do you not love the feeling of power and strength or are you just a faggot who wants everything easy?
Is it because your squat plug is too big for comfort?
>>41697242
It hurts my back and knees
deadlifts>squats
>>41697251
Then you're doing it wrong. Are you bouncing on your knees or some stupid shit instead of squatting?
>>41697284
I'll grant that the feeling of raw power and badass you get doing deadlifts can't be matched by squats, but there's something I love about squatting that I need to defend.
Simple question. How do I lose fat, and begin to delve into MMA?
