what does that mean?

>>35132250
I tell people I've been lifting for a few months when I've really been lifting for almost 3 years through multiple shoulder injuries.

People would laugh if I said I lifted for 3 years

manlets are usually good at bench initially because of their stubby arms

>>35132713
ROM is still the same on bench you mongoloid. the only thing that changes based on arm length is deadlift

>>35132724
Are you trolling?
Everyone knows that the shorter your arms are the easier time you will have benching because you'll have less distance to travel and and if you go bar to the chest and all the way up with a normal grip you will have more distance covered with longer arms and taller people tend to not have babbies first arm distance so they have longer arms and need to lift a rep for longer and hence lift more.

>"How long have you been lifting"
>"I don't know"

When really it's been on and off for probably 3 to 4 years in total but I rather say that I don't know.

>>35132724
muscle fibers are shorter making it easier fuckface, thats why theres buff oompa loompas everywhere

>>35132713
still no excuse for me IMO. If I'd been serious and not a borderline NEET/asocial I'd could've been fit as fuck.

When I started training at 17 it was with my best friend, who is pretty huge now. 300 kg DL was his peak I think. While I'm still at 100 kg as I've always been.

>>35132796
So you're not lifting and complaining about not lifting?

i've been lifting for like a year off and on.

never get my diet right or anything. so i just straight up tell people i dont even lift

you're right, it's interesting to point out though. it might be why so many small people stick with lifting, because they're good at it

Bullshit aside, yes.

>>35132860
But why go to the gym if you're not going to lift?

True, torso and leg proportions is also fascinating. If you got any articles about it and how it effects lifting please share.

>>35132905
I love how you shifted every single ounze of blame away from you, not only is SS ''boring'' but also your gf kept asking you to skip the ''boring'' workout.

What other chance did you have! Oh woe is you, now you're doing a ''real'' routine and going 4 times a week though this time will be different and won't have the same results because your body won't change like you will never change because you're lazy and can't even man up enough to take the blame for failing yourself on a fucking anonymous image board.

>>35132923
dude are you ok? i admitted blame at the end of the post

Hope I can make it again

I know that feel, I lifted semi seriously for 10 months in the Army in 2010, really seriously from March to August 2013 but with just a barbell and plates, from March to August 2015 same situation, and since late October 2015 until today.

Things are looking good now though, I have a Squat rack, bench, and shack to lift in, and the health problems and shitty habits I had are gone so I can keep working at it.

>>35132923
Not trolling, could you or anyone please tell me what SS stands for/means?

I'm 5'8" and have an almost 6 foot wingspan.
My forearms are 13 inches long.

Levers vary highly between short people and fall people distinctly separate from their height.

I have a longer bench range of motion than most people

I squat 3 plates and deadlift 420 pounds and run a 4.5 40 yard dash

>>35132991
I guess I will add that I can actually still play football but I wont be on the line anymore which is what I was amazing at.

I lost over 50lbs and would have to play TE. Haven't played TE since junior high when I played both sides of the ball. Gonna be a struggle to jump in at college level but I wont give up on my dreams.

>>35133036
Interesting that you have manlet strength but not the mass.

>>35133042
It's because I have the genetics for running and fast twitch

I got 23&me done and I have ridiculous genetics for power and metabolic efficiency , like sprinters and jumpers

By the way, my squat range of motion is also longer than a lot of tall guys because I have longer femurs and shorter shins
The only lift that I'm built for is the deadlift

>>35133025
Ty anon. I'm not sure how SS is boring, but I now understand how it fits with the other anon being a bitch.

How much rest days does it take to completely reset your time lifting to 0?

>>35133071
People who say that lifting routines are boring are just beyond stupid.
You lift heavy weight and enjoy the time with the iron.

>>35132250
>lift 2 months

Mfw if I never stopped lifting, I would have been lifting for 5 years now

Mfw not even 8 months of lifting in total time

i dont give a fuck what your stats are

you either look good or you dont

i have more respect for the guy that does 100 reps and looks INSANE toned over a manlet that can bench 300kg and is a fucking manlet no matter how much he roids

i dont even know what i bench and squat i just plate the fuck up until i can smash out 8-12 reps

form on the right is unreal, unless we are talking about dwarfism

I know that feel. I lifted for a year one night

>>35132250
Been lifting for 1 year and 3 months.
I have the body of someone who lifted sriously for 6 months or less and my lifts are at untrained level.
I am already getting some miring and compliments so guess it is ok.

Same. I've started and stopped so many times during undergrad that I lost count. Luckily I dont socialize at all so this issue rarely comes up.

Or you could only count the hours youve been actually lifting so for example if you have done 730 one hour sessions you'll say you've been lifting for a month (730 hours in a month).

Uhm, no, it isn't.

Arm length for both is actually the same if you measure

>tfw lifting for 2-3 years with small gains

I've gotten fairly big and strong in small periods but end up having to stop due to injury. I just do a split routine 3 days a week now training everything once a week and cut out all high risk exercises like squat deadlift and bench. No point investing so much effort for so little in return. Maybe I'll make better gains than I did on SS and the other routines, who knows. Maybe I was trolled all this time into doing pointless dangerous shit.

>>35133021
Nigga you could have a world class deadlift if you train for it

>>35135678
> cut out all high risk exercises like squat deadlift and bench

They're not dangerous at all unless you're a retard with bad form.

>>35135746

Nope, you are the retard here. I have used good form, literally adjusted my form hundreds of times. I haven't been "injured" but I've gotten pain and tendonitis in joints and been forced to stop.

Form is just half of the equation, I see people lifting heavy weights with shit form in videos, which I never could do without getting seriously injured. Its all about ligament + tendon + joint strength and leverage.

And people get injured all the time and forced to stop lifting, what planet do you live on? The exercises aren't safe, do them over a span of 10 years with progressive overload and you will most likely face a serious injury at some point. That's why most guys quit lifting in the first place, and keep talking about how much they could lift.

Burn in hell, seriously. If it weren't for brainwashing faggots like you i wouldn't have bothered with those whore exercises in the first place and all the trouble that comes with it. I hope you die a painful death you waste of space.
