My little 15yo brother just started going to the gym and has no idea what to do.
He doesn't want to look like some kind of hulk but lean and fit.
What would you suggest?

I'm 5'8. I've been doing SL5x5 for 3 months. I've gone from 47kg to 55. I just found out my form has been wrong for every single lift and with correct form I can only just do the bar for everything except squats and deadlift.
I've wasted all this fucking time. In 3 months I've gone from skeleton that can't lift the bar to skinny t-rex that can only just lift it. My uni gym closes at the end of this month so I won't be able to use barbells again until September.
I'm fucked bros. I'm going to be a skeleton forever and every time I try and do something about it I'm so weak that I can't even do it right. I'm poor asf from all the food I've been buying to put on weight and now I'm going to spend 4 months losing the pathetic amount of gains that I've made so far.

Chin up. If you give up, you'll never escape skeletonmode, but as long as you keep working, you'll still have a chance. If you don't have barbells, do bodyweight religiously in the largest quantities you can manage. Lift sandbags, rocks, gallon jugs, whatever the hell you have lying around. You are only limited by your own creativity here.

>backwards hats make you instantly approachable
wtf /fit/
I usually wear a beanie to the gym because my hair is too long. I changed to pic related yesterday to mix it up
Wore it forwards and people I've seen at the gym for years were looking and making eye contact
flipped it backwards for OHP and people started talking to me almost immediately. Girl approached me to chat within 2 mins, this ex army SF guy who always thought I was a faggot started talking to me and we worked in squat together
my workout took 40 mins longer because random people kept talking to me

Not even close. I do sets of 5 with 135 when I'm doing barbell curls and my biceps aren't huge. Dumbbell curls with 60's

So ex-skellies how your life changed after becoming fit and bigger? Are you able to sleep with better looking women? Do newly met people threat you diffrently? Current skelly here - I'm able to fuck 6-7/10 and very rarely 8-9/10 but the more attractive ones always ditch me, while the average looking always fall in love with me.

>Night out
>Taking Creatine
Holy shit you guys, i was shaking when i woke up, hungover as fuck.
Just slept a bit, still a bit drunk-ish and been drinking 1.5L of water now.
Nobody told me creatine would make me fucking pass out after a night out drinking

You need to drink lots of water on creatine and drinking alcohol dehydrates you.
>>
>>37048252
That, i know, but not that the side effects of mixing both was so devestating.
>>
>>37048239
It doesn't.
What else have you changed in your diet. Most likely you're just more dehydrated.
I suppose in theory when you first start to load creatine, your muscles are going to soak up water making less available for your liver and kidneys to do their jobs. Increase water intake for a few weeks until your muscles reach saturation and you'll be fine.

Okay /fit/ I need some help with my deadlift. Currently at 335 max and I'm looking for 405 by september. I think that's achievable. Anyway, I'm worried that I'm not programming correctly for proper progression. Currently I'm deadlifting 2-3x a week, never working above 80% of my 1rm. I usually do singles, but I try to do maybe 5-10 over the course of a couple hours (home gym). I feel like my training has little direction. What programs/routines helped you with your diddy the most? Is a 70lb increase possible in ~4months? I'm not scared of hard work, and I really want to hit this goal. Any tips or help is greatly appreciated.

What should my lifts be at before I stop doing SS

1RM of 1/2/3/4 plates for press/Bench/squat/diddy
More or less. If you reached none of those, keep doing it.
If you haven't reached squat, keep doing it.
If you reached squat+diddy, stop doing it.
If you reached squat+any other combo, you decide.

What are you 15 years old? Its not illegal to look at someone you raging faggot. Girls who wear those pants want you to look, they just act disgusted when they catch you looking because they don't want other girls to know that they enjoy the attention
