He would look great if he cut both his fat and his hair.

*autism intensifies*

>>34993784
He got to 240x5 according to Rippetoe, the pasta in OP is obviously bullshitting.

>Bodyweight: 242
>Bodyfat % measured at 7 skinfold sites (equation detailed below): 20.95%
>His squat has gone from 145 x 5 to 345 x 5
>His bench is at 240 x 5, DL is 325 x 5, press is about 145 x 5, PC is about 176 x 3

Don't know why his pulls are so low though

found the "man" under 200 lbs. kek

>>34993352
I've been lifting for 6 months and I'd rather have his body than mine. Guess I'll need to do SS + GOMAD

>>34994022
Some people just squat more than they shiggylift because of their anthropometry.

Here's an extreme example

>>34994473
>I dont understand that lighter people have an advantage.

kek. Maybe if you were ever a part of the big boy club at any part in your life you would realize that benching double your weight gets increasingly hard the heavier you are

>And so you know, this fucks my travel plans entirely. I had scheduled it to include this as a favor to you but your little retard forumites got mangy and now they and you by extension have fucked me completely. Because you can't handle it. Whatsa matter? You know your body comp and strength gain numbers are all bullshit and can't handle me asking about it or what? So, as i think about it, your reason for this is entirely irrelevant to me. Keep believing you're getting the results you're getting but all your doing is generating retard fatasses who think you're above cricitism. Which you're not but apparently you're believing your own fucking hype at this point.

Nah, but really, not everyone is in it to lift as heavy as possible, and not everyone is in it to look like a beefcake. Train for you, quit trying to convince yourself and others that you're in it for the right reasons and just love what you're doing and make the gains you want.

It's Lyle McDonald.

McDonald and Rippetoe had an interview scheduled around the same time the Zach thread was made

http://startingstrength.com/resources/forum/mark-rippetoe-q-and-a/15386-zach-update.html

Lyle saw the thread and accused Rip of lying and putting up fake numbers, and said Rip couldn't show Zach on video squatting. Rip told him he's cancelling the interview. Lyle makes a thread on the SS forum

http://startingstrength.com/resources/forum/ends-and-pieces/15550-fuck-mark.html

>And those squat numbers? Where's the video to show that his form is anything but shit? I got lots of excuses on the support forum but we both know that what coaches say and what happens in the gym isn't the same. You put up other video so why haven't you shown Zach's awesome squat form with 345X5 or whatever it is?

>I'll tell you why, b/c you know it sucks. You could prove me wrong in about 5 minutes but you won't. And you couldn't deal with me in an interview because you know deep down you're full of fucking shit.

Rip then uploads a video of Zach squatting 320lbs 5x5 on the Texas Method

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TB0PpIGcX0

Lyle admitted he was wrong about the squat but continued to say the LBM gains were false. Lyle went back to his own forum, locked the thread about Zach, and threatened to ban anyone brought it up again. Thread's hidden/deleted now.

I think the "more than 25lbs of LBM per year is not possible" claims come from him. He's not a coach or particularly strong so I don't know why he set such a defined limit.

>caring about how much someone lifts
lamo nobody cares you fat fucks and t-rex skinnyfats. the guy on the brosplit benching 135 still looks better than you ever will ;^)

>>34994686
I'm not lying

Thats all good until you get outlifted by a dyel with a solid strength base. And you may say thats all well and good, but I promise its gonna hurt your ego a little bit. Im just trying to save you the embarrassment m8.

>>34994936
i dont give a fuck what other people lift. I have a lot of people smaller than me, even asian dyel's that outlift me, do i gaf? no.

Cause i am what they aspire to be. I'm in the gym for 40 mins a day. Out for the other 23 hours and everyone compliments me, girls eye fuck me etc. Does the skinny asian dyel who outlifts me in his deadlifts get any of that? nop

This is true

Anyway women get hard for you when you can display strength quickly, not when you drop from 10% to 8% bodyfat kek

He never really said it's not possible, he just said it really won't happen except in some special situations, e.g. skeleton teenager eating like a horse and lifting lots

I think his point was that Rip hasn't disproved anything, except for his ability to make strawman arguments and his lack of ability to make accurate BF% measurement with calipers.

These were the last things he said on the forum about the LBM gains.

>We both know that yoru claims about Zach's results are total bullshit. If he gained that much muscle, that means that Starting Strenght + GOMAD is BETTER THAN FUCKING STEROIDS. I mean, shit that's as bad as T-nation.
>2. For whatever reason, most likely b/c he knows I'd call him on the bullshit body comp changes, he decided that he couldn't handle the heat, and cancelled 12 hours before I was going to get on the road.

I don't see how you can interpret that as Lyle saying "it can happen in some special situations e.g. skeleton teenager eating like a horse and lifting lots"

Especially since Zach started lifting heavy three days a week when he was skinny(pic related), at 20 years old, while eating 5000-6000 calories daily including GOMAD, without missing any workouts.

There really wasn't anything to disprove, since the basis for claiming 2lbs of LBM per month is the maximum rate for any man has always been pretty poor.

how do i achieve this physique?

thanks friends,

>>34995061
What's wrong with how he measured bodyfat?

I mean don't just say "he doesn't look 20-22% bodyfat to me" or some shit. What's wrong with the measurements?
