When do I start seeing gains?

>>35371552

You won't turn from week 1 to week 12 in 12 weeks, that's horseshit.

I'm assuming you're under 18 which means you're doing fine m8 keep at it

That fucking image.

The guy's already got 90% of that muscle mass, he's just cutting.

You eating enough m8? After the end of my first month I was slightly larger all over, most pronounced in muscles I never used before like back and shoulders.

However I am a manlet so it's probably more noticeable

>>35371552
lol those body fat % are way off.

>>35371552
I've never seen so much bullshit in one image

>>35371552
It's normal.

LEAN GAINS BITCH

>>35371552
I got a friend who's been lifting for 6 years. You could tell he was lifting after 1 year, and only after 2 and a half you would say he was strong.

I didn't see any progress thread that hasn't completely blown up yet so I'll just post my picture here

Hey guys I wasn't saying I should be progressing like the picture haha I just used it as reference I googled "man body shapes" so I could reference where I'm at. I was seriously just curious. I am just so dissapointed in my bench :/

>>35372129
I started out almost exactly like you just less lean. Kinda had a lot of beer gut weight. Stopped drinking alcohol tho. I just don't have as defined pecs and abs as you right now. Are you seeing gains on your bench? Like more weight?

>>35372182
I've been out drinking maybe 4-5 times from October to now, but I'm not sure. I drink a lot nowadays since my father and grandparents drink all day and let me drink with them if I want to.
My bench is fucking terrible, I just incline bench and see progress there. I just find regular bench frustratingly hard and genually hate benching.

>>35372336

>>35372048
>>35372063

Thank you. This is both comforting and motivating.

I've been lifting properly for nearly three months and my arms look like yours in the first pic. I thought this meant my gains are shit but I guess they're okay.

>>35372398
yep, i like posting that pic because it does illustrate that it takes some time.
I was decently strong after a year, but totally dyel.
But when i finally decided to switch over to cutting hard and training like a BB, I had enough strength and I blew up in about a couple months.

>mfw already doing PPL

T curls are interesting, I'll have to try that. What I've been doing is 3x10 cable curls and 3x10 hammer curls on preacher stand.

>>35372089
How the fuck could fasting possibly do that? Lean gains is more horseshit than nofap.

>>35372376
6'1 205 at the time, now im 225 no roids just a 7 day split to burn weight, 6 day PPL to build muscle and eating heavy. 3200 kcal is my maintence so I had 3500 daily. great diet incredibly high in protein and incorporated super sets for aesthetic muscles (abs, arms, buttocks)

welp forgot picture
and yes im natty

>>35372219
dont worry i started benching at 40kg and im on 115kg now after 2 years

>>35372578
Did you just keep at the bench? I've more or less dropped regular bench over incline bench, feels great and I actually make progress.
Nice progress for two years though dude

>>35372530
You're a big guy.
Tell me about the natty, why is it desirable?

>>35372612
>>35372530
just looked it up, natty means natural, I always thought it meant you were so cut it looked like you had a bunch of knots all over your body.

is protein powder not natty? what's so bad about it?

Also what protein source do you use if you don't use supplements?

>>35372629
protein powder is natty

>>35372530
post routine for your supersets pls senpai

>>35372650
TROLL. Whey is not natty. They test for it at college and pro level sports. Don't start down that dark path.

>>35372747
what? no way! how is whey not natty?

does that mean if I start eating curds and whey that I get form farmer brown I'll get kicked off the college football team?

>>35371552
That pictures full of shit anon.
Abs become defined at 14% body fat.

>>35372747
you're lying I just looked it up and the NCAA does not ban protein powder or whey protein, only growth hormones.

>>35372795

This picture is resized to be bigger from left to right. I remember someone posting this a year or so ago with a line from the top of the guy's head going to the left. He's not actually gaining mass.

>>35372782
What?

Bull shit, I got my bf measured at 14.6% once and could barely see shit in nice lighting

>>35371552
After 3 months of working out I am somewhere between 2nd and 3rd pic.
Currently on 143 lbs, thinking about going to 160
height 6ft.

>>35371552
Bullshit

Is it possible to achieve this with calisthenics?

>>35371552
Jesus this pic is absolute bullshit

Fuck I'm only on my 2nd week of SS. Is PPL > SS?

Maybe I'll just stick to it until I get intermediate enough to switch.

>>35371552
>gaining more than 21lbs of lean tissue in 12 weeks
>things that actually happened

>>35374842
>12 weeks is equal to one month

Is 4 weeks long enough to realistically drop 5% of bodyfat?

Sounds like bullshit to me.

>>35374983
>Maybe I'll just stick to it until I get intermediate enough to switch.
That's how it works anon.
Do SS until you get to intermediate lifting levels, then hop on madcow or one of canditos routines if you're still interested in making linear strength gains, or if you care more about building mass hop on PPL, or another routine which has you training each body part 2x a week. Fuck bro splits though, utterly useless.

If your bench sucks, try using dumbells instead of a barbell. you will use a lot more stabilizer muscle and strength in one arm won't be able to compensate for weakness in the other. go super hard with dumbells for like 2 weeks and then see if your bench goes up.

Cmon people. These guys are professionals who do the before and after pictures

They overeat, over hydrate take a TON of sodium to look bloated etc, then shave that off in a couple of weeks to look like their normal selves

Cant be good for you tho...wonder how much it pays

>>35374983
do SS with accessory lifts and a little cardio to prepare yourself for the volume that a PPL will demand, you'll be spending about an hour and a half in the gym a day 6 days a week.

>>35377538
>you'll be spending about an hour and a half in the gym a day 6 days a week
no you wont

>>35377567
sorry I was talking about if he wanted to make gains, if he's content with being a fat ugly weak loser like you he should follow your advice.

>>35377538
>about an hour and a half in the gym a day 6 days a week
pointless as a natty
