What does /fit/ think of stronglifts (especially w/r/t their app)?
I've done a tiny bit of gym shit in the past, like using machines and stuff, but since moving to my uni gym, which is mostly free weight based, I've realized I'm gonna have to move over to using free weights if I'm gonna get anywhere (which is something I've wanted to do anyway, cuz they're just more effective).
But obviously I'm not sure where to start. I know its a strength programme, but will there be any aesthetic gain from using it? Is the app good or does it have problems? If it is shit, then what else should I do (what are my alternatives)?
Routine seems pretty normal 5x5 is good start to develop strength. Looks pretty handy for other stuff too.

Alright, thanks man. I think I'm gonna go with this one, see how it goes.
>>38831525
Just do SS. What the fuck do you even need an app for when doing a linear beginners program. Just do the same shit every time but with more weight.
>will there be any aesthetic gain from using it
Muscle is muscle. Do SS and read the fucking book. If people actually read it they would read the chapter about assistance and then they wouldn't babble about trex mode and "is SS a meme???".
A: squats, bench/ohp, pullups
B: squats, ohp/bench, deadlift
C: squats, bench/ohp, pullups
Everything 3x5. Add rows 2x12 every other time and curls or any arm work whenever. If you're not getting aesthetic on this then it's probably because you're having shit genetics or you're not doing the program.
How to get in shape for the army? Would 5x5 3 days a week and then running 1.5 miles on my off days be good enough?
I'm in the army right now and this is my advice.
Just focus on endurance training and running long distances.
In the army noone fucking cares what your bench is or how much you can squat.
Run atleast 5km a day and do endurance training for your muscles in the gym.
>>38831500
This guy gets it. RN myself, no one will ever test you on "strength". Running for vast distances is all that matters. Ideally you want excellent cardio ability with light weight for climbing etc, but enough to carry gear.
Just go running every day for as many km's as you as you can stand. Maybe wear a backpack filled with we clothes.
>>38831473
Also run 3 miles not 1.5. Otherwise 1.5 will always be a chore.
>tfw no hobbies, no interests, nothing to do in life besides lifting weights
same
all i do is lift
look in the mirror and cry over my calves
and school work

How many years of lifting and dieting to achieve a body like this? Is it even possible without roids?
>>38831162
Depends on where you start. If you're lighter, I'd say a year and a half.
>>38831162
Very possible without roids, its mostly low bf%
If you're genetically blessed, you MIGHT get there in 4-5 years of lifting with NO DAYS OFF and PERFECT NUTRITION.
Your thoughts on leg day?
Least pleasant day of the month
>>38830984
If you have a whole day dedicated to legs you're probably retarded
I just do sprints kekkerino, my legs aren't defined but they're proportionate and my calves are just naturally hyooge.
>CALVELETS BTFO
That feel when sore lats after chest day
who is this absolute goddess
>>38830912

it's obviously the same girl
>on my 2nd day of no fap
>i'm dreaming about having a gf already
>>38830902
I went 25 days, had no effect on me whatsoever. relapsed a few days ago. I hope this time things are different.
>>38830918
I did 15 days or so and relapsed and felt fucking fantastic afterwards. Feel like i'm just gonna do 2 weeks between masturbation instead.
I try to only masturbate once a week

What do?
Shoot him in the head with my .357 magnum, then tear his heart out and eat it to gain his power.
>>38830866
laugh at those high calf insertions
he never gunna make it
Is that Ricky Gervais on roids??
So, why can't I literally eat 0 calories a day until I'm at my goal weight?
According to CICO I should be able to just fast until I lose 30-40 lbs right?
>>38830862
Because your body will not get the nutrients it needs to function on a basic level, and you'll get sick. Also, unless you're NEET, you'll have zero energy to do anything but sit or lie down.

so, if I take multivitamins will this work?
>>38830910
No, you need more than just multivitamins.
Besides that, your body will burn your muscles first and try to refrain from using up your isolating fat deposits as long as possible, so you'll end up weak and depleted.
Just eat at a deficit, keep lifting, and have patience. You'll lose the weight.
What does /fit/ think about buff dudes
>>38830843
Pls don't.
>>38830843
I consider myself a buff dude and I like myself.

Man, Dr. Robotnic really got it together.
3x5 X 5x5 beginner routines pros and cons?
Is it wise to switch to 3x5 from 5x5 once the lifts get heavier?

>Not doing superior 1x25
Enjoy your overtraining
>>38831002
is this an actual advice?
So my gym attendance is dropping since medschool got harder and the hours more restrictive so I decided to something about that and bought bars, dumbells and weights and set up a itty bitty home gym.
I can't obviously bench press or shit like that at home and that has me worried.
Any thoughts on a full body routine using only what I have at hand?
Overhead press, standing rows, deadlifting, squats, what else?
>>38830456
Gorege Soros, pls go
I'm not the most experienced guy. But ever consider bodyweight exercises with a weighted vest?
Pushups situps squats and pull ups are all you really need, and you can work different muscle groups with some variation on the above 4 exercises.
The only one you May need gear for is the pullups but the rest can be done without any gear. Maybe substitute that for supermans. Then all you need gear wise is space.
>>38830470
Dont resist me goy
quinoa, lentils and black beans.
Name a better vegetarian bulking meal.
Beans and eggs for everything you need and crumbs like pic related for calories.
>>38830440
Don't you need to eat pretty much pounds and pounds of that shit to get enough calories?
>>38830440
How do you even season this? Can you cook it all in one pot?
