Strength training won't build muscle

just go

All that matters is volume in my experience.

Anybody doing a split and only going through it once a week is fucking retarded though.

Spotted the strength fatties. The only good reason to train is for social media selfies to attract chicks. Benching heavy isn't going to attract them.

I train because it helps me shit better/more regularly.

ITT: trolls trolling trolls

Big compounds in the strength rep range with isolations in the hypertrophy rep range, full body, 3 to 4 times a week, old skool 1950s bber style is GOAT for aesthetics. Unless roiding in which case your drugs matter more than any training style so train how you want.

This is a very true post

I started making gains when I added bench and ohp (3x5) to my upperbody push, chinups (3x5~6) and BB row(3x6-8) on upperbody pull and heavy squats on leg days.
Ive gained like crazy since. Of course I bodybuild too but after those

Like saying "I'd rather wear glasses and look smart, rather than be smart"

I started training because I've always been a weak faggot who couldn't do anything.

When I get strong enough I might change to a bro split and go full bro but right now I want to lift heavier things every time I go to the gym.

Even if you "train for aesthetics" you must still constantly aim to increase your strength. There will be no gains without progressive overload.

Even if all you care about is maximal strength, you must still train to increase your muscle mass. There will be no progress beyond a certain if you're small and look dyel.

These are facts.

Been lifting for ten years. These threads make me laugh my ass off. Your best bet is to do SS for 3-6 Months with chin ups and core in there. Then whatever you want. Going straight to a bro split? You don't know how to lift. You don't know what lifts to do, how to do them or what rep range to do them in. It doesn't matter when you start because you will have noob gains but you won't forever. You have to consider exhaustion. When you stop seeing gains on your garbage Split you're not going to be encouraged to lift.

>following a bro split you read online like PPL
>

strength is one of the best measures for progress

if you're not adding reps or weight you're not getting bigger

just do a goddamn split like the GBR, follow it for a few years consistently, eat properly, come back and tell me you're not strong AND big

Mon: Lower
Squat: 3-4X6-8/3' (3-4 sets of 6-8 with a 3' rest)
SLDL or leg curl: 3-4X6-8/3'
Leg press: 2-3X10-12/2'
Another leg curl: 2-3X10-12/2'
Calf raise: 3-4X6-8/3'
Seated calf: 2-3X10-12/2'
Abs/low back: a couple of heavy sets apiece

Tue: Upper
Flat bench: 3-4X6-8/3'
Row: 3-4X6-8/3'
Incline bench or shoulder press: 2-3X10-12/2'
Pulldown/chin: 2-3X10-12/2'
Triceps: 1-2X12-15/1.5'
Biceps: 1-2X12-15/1.5'

For the Thu/Fri workouts either Repeat the first two or make some slight exercise substitutions. Can do deadlift/leg press combo on Thu, switch incline/pulldown to first exercises on upper body day. A lot depends on volume tolerance, if the above is too much, go to 2-3X6-8 and 1-2X10-12

this is the mindset of every dipshit i went to high school with that did a 3x8 1pl8 bench going for a "pump" lol

>>35179459
nothing beats a post squat protein shit

Yup. And they're still skellies years after beginning training and crying that they need roids. See the same at my gym with a lot of the younger guys.

What would you recommend after SS?

Looking for primarily strength with some minor added hypertrophy to attract sluts.

5/3/1 BBB is exactly that. PHUL, PHAT are good powerbuilding routines also but may be too advanced still.

Yeah this makes no sense to me. You do big compounds for strength then you do isolations at a high volume for accessories. How autistic do you have to be to not be able to do both?..
