Ex /b/fag now /pol/lac looking to improve my health but I'm afraid of the knuckedragger effect the numale/bodybuilding/fashionhipsterman has on people. All the really fit people around me are 2 neurons away from troglodytes and generally fail at everything except looks. I am a student with a part-time job but I need to improve my diet and self-esteem.How get back into lifting not get brainwashed by Rich Piana wannabes?

Here is exactly what i'm currently doing
PPLxPPLxx (i don't care about suundays or 7-day schedule)
Bench or OHP 5x3 (ramp up to a new 3rm pr on 1st set, do other sets at 95% of 1st set)
Spoto BP or Paused CGBP 3x5 (at 80% of newly set 3rm)
Lying tric extension 3x8
Shrugs 3x5 (super heavy and explosive)
Laterals 3x8
Pull
Weighterd Pullups 5x3 (same with bench or ohp, forcing aggressive weight progression)
DB Rows 3x5 (heavy as fuck)
Rear Delt Rows 3x8
Dumbbell Curl 3x5 (bb causes pain for me)
Hammer Curl 3x8
Squats or Deads 5x3 (same system as with bp/ohp)
Rdls or Frontsquats 3x5
Leg Raises 3x8 (weighted, with plate hanging on knees)
2nd rotation is much higher overall volume
BP/OHP 4x6
Incline/Flat Dumbbell BP 4x10
L. Tric Ext. 3x12
Shrugs 3x12
Laterals 3x12
Pullups 4x6
Dumbbell Rows 4x10
Rear Delt Rows 3x12
BB Curls 3x12
Hammer Curls 3x12
Squats 4x6 (no deads cause this volume would just kill me)
RDLs/Frontsquats 4x10
Leg Raises 3x12 weighted
some other ab accessory
Calf Raises 3x12
here i used simple periodization to keep constant progression in weight (can't really do same shit week after week and progress the way i'd like to)
2nd week has a lot of volume to cater to my "aesthetics" needs
also that volume is used as a main driver to up the weights for intensity "week"
190/297/425/488 all x3 (210lbs)
>>
LEGS
Squats 3x5
SLDL 3x10
Leg press 3x10
Calf Raise 3x15
PUSH
Bench Press 3x5
DumbbellOHP 3x10
Dips 3x10
Lateral Dumbbell Raise 3x10
Tricep Extension/Rope pull down 3x10
PULL
Deadlift 1x5
Chins 3x10
Row 3x10
Shrugs 3x12
Barbell Curl 3x12
Deadlift only once a week. Did core work 1-2x a week whenever I found it convenient. Made great strength and decent aesthetic gains. Had to stop running it due to work schedule.

Dude, you can take a photo that looks like that today too. Black and white pics is no indication at all that the guys are natty.
Find Pinner with moustache
Take pic on cell phone
Change to BW
Claim it's pre-steroids
>>
Those guys are all using steroids
>>
>>36696676
>>36696694
I think it's pretty well established that all of those guys are well known bodybuilders from the pre-steroid era. They did have cocaine available for cutting though.

Has /fit/ ever discovered something "abnormal" about their body?
I've been lifting for about 3 months now. Seeing some good results, even I'm just a FNG.
Except for my right side.
I think I have nerve damage on my right side of my body.
Like, my right deltoid doesn't flex. I can flex my left one like a boss. Nice and round. But my right refuses to budge.
It's a weird thing. My right pec doesn't flex either.
And if I squat deep enough, my right leg quivers when my left doesn't.
Did I have a fucking stroke?
I'm scared guys.
I've heard that lifting can fix assymetry, but god damn, I feel like Ephialtes from 300.

It sounds like fake.

Idk what the fuck freeletics is, but a good bodyweight routine can make you look like the pic on the left. obviously much less efficient than using weights like a normal fucking person, but you do you.
also, he still looks DYEL as fuck and thats probably the max amount of muscle you'd be able to achieve
>>
It's a routine based on HIT, I think, it promisses to get you rigged in fifteen weeks, just like the picture posted. There is some testimonals on youtube and stuff. It is really hard do to, you only use your own body and a bar.

It was a good way to get into her pants, the sex is amazing. We are slowly getting attached though but it's alright.
Thing is I was with my ex for two years and we were all in the same class. I told my ex that I was seeing current QT and she was pissed as fuck. I dont care tho

I really liked Three Days Grace when I was younger. If that's what you're into I would suggest Bring Me The Horizon's new album That's The Spirit since they sound a little like TDG nowadays.
Actually went to /mu/ yesterday for suggestions but it's Weebtown and everyone circlejerks K-Pop.

I'm on the job hunt right now. I'm in pretty good shape (6'1, 200lbs, broad shoulders, 500lb deadlift, do cardio and BJJ)
I've been interviewing places and a lot of potential employers always make comments on my physique
>wow anon you've got broad shoulders did you play football?
>'No i just lift and exercise to stay in shape during my free time'
I know my stats don't make me 'big and bulky' by any means but I'm starting to wonder if being too physically imposing can hurt the job search? I can totally see some old fat nerd feeling insecure at a juicy alpha male, or some old professional being like 'shit that guy spends all his time lifting and roiding (i don't) i don't think he'll be a fit for the company'
What does /fit/ think?

yeah but do you really want to work at a place where you'll get shat on by insecure skinnyfats? if they discriminate against you during the hiring process for being fit, they'll sure as hell discriminate against you for being fit while you work there

>do you really want to work at a place where you'll get shat on by insecure skinnyfats?
No. But I'm trying to get a job in tech. That industry is dominated by insecure skinnyfats. DESU I'd argue the vast majority of established companies are run by insecure skinnyfats..
