So I'm looking to go bearmode because I have the body type for it and I want to make the most of it. I'm about 180 lbs, skinnyfat doughboy with barely any tone left over from my last job which was highly physical where I just moved heavy shit around a warehouse all day. I'm effectively a potato sack at the moment after working in retail for almost a year and I feel like shit. I've never actually gone to a gym since weightlifting class in high school and I felt inspired to get big cause I'm sick of looking like a flabby numale. I'm totally inexperienced in this stuff. Another problem is I'm poor as fuck and I'm not sure if I can afford to eat like a garbage disposal and still pay my rent on time. A friend of mine has a pretty extensive weight set he's never used, so on one hand I don't have to pay for a gym membership, but on the other I have to turn to an antique Ukrainian decoupage auction website for advice because he's as clueless as I am. This isn't one of my usual boards and I read the sticky, but I'm seeking more specific advice. What's the best way for a low income, pilowy manbaby to get a body like a linebacker without necessarily having to frequent a buffet more than once a week? Serious question here, I've been on this self-improvement kick and this is the next logical step.
pic is the first thing I found on jewgle that best hits what I'm ultimately aiming for.

>So I'm looking to go bearmode
nah
there's nothing rewarding about barely being able to bend over and tie your own shoes if you're not competing in WSM the next day. stay lean you fucking retard.
Bulk on cheap stuff like rice pasta beans chicken butter etc

I'd sacrifice a little flexibility for raw strength and the confidence and peace of mind that would come from being built like a brick shithouse. I'd go lean if I were aiming to someday become a competitive martial artist or something, but I just wanna get really strong and reap the benefits that come with that. I'm naturally stocky so I wanna work with what I got.

Thanks, I eat a good amount of rice anyway. I stock up on all the other stuff and maybe this will learn how to actually cook worth a shit in the process. What about milk? I've heard mixed opinions on GOMAD and a lot of people say it's shit but it would be so damn easy to work into my current diet. I drink a lot of milk anyway, though not that much and I'll stay well the fuck away from it if there's a chance I might end up with lady boobs from all the bovine growth hormones or some shit.
I went to the gym earlier to lose some weight, but I got hungry in the middle of the night and got tempted. It's 1:34am right now
>>38447377
Damn I love these. At least you're getting screwed for something worth it imo.
>>38447377
better go back to the gym right now
Nothing's Fucked per se. But today was worthless. Better make tomorrow count

can squats actually make my ass like pic?
>>38447277
Yes
It happened to me, even though only lmao2pl8 squat.
Is eating the majority of your calories (80%) during lunch and breakfast - then having a light dinner a meme?
>>38447244
No, putting calories in yourself when you're actually going to use them is not a meme.
Read le sticky. Meal timing doesn't really matter
>>38447283
So. You could eat all 2500 calories at 8 pm and still be focused and alert all day?
>Hi how are you?
>Have a good workout anon!
you too
She only talks to me so I can leave her a big tip

What fitness goals have you met?
If I pass at the gym right now, I'll finally be pressing 1plate, my goal when I started lifting.
For so long I wanted to squat lmao2pl8 just for a ORM. It seemed so far away as if I would never be able to get it.
Here I am now using more than 2pl8 for reps. I would die hapy
send v7
>>38446925
my biceps are finally bigger than my forearms, that was just the first step

>>38446877

Is he natty?
Testosteron is a naturally occurring hormone in the body so you could say he is extremely natty
>>38446844
Looks about right for someone just finishing their first three months of stronglifts or starting strength.
What FREE activities can you do on a very hot day if you're in a big city? Bonus points if I can show off my gains to fuck sloots, I just moved to this area so I'm alone for now.
>going out for any other reason to goto the gym or supermarket to buy food
since when did 4chan become over-run with normal social people? what happened to everyone being scared to leave their house?
it seems like normal people eventually take over everything i enjoy

>2016
>not doing static stretches post-workout
oh anon, don't tell me you fell for the "don't do static stretches" meme
also, remember to do your cardio!
>>38446791
Yeah it's actually really surprising how many people in my gym don't stretch and cool down after a workout. I always spend about 10 minutes stretching everything out at the end of my session.
>>38448575
any certain routine? I just started doing starting stretching
nice bait m8
