Good work, hard gaining sucks shit!

5'10", 72kgs
September 2015 - January 2016.
Started crossfitt-esque classes at work, they get a PT in daily and it's free so why not? Got some fitness and learned form for a couple of key lifts.
From December I have been doing SS, definitely noticing solid gains since I started. Other than that I just do jiu jitsu (Kawaishi)

>>35617430
Good start, keep it up and you'll have a very good first year of lifting

>>35617455
Good mass gained, keep going and when you shred down in 1-2 years you'll look fantastic

Keep it up, mang. Make sure you add in a good amount of upper body accessories to SS so that you don't turn yourself into rippletits newest dino victim.

>>35617455
Great work for 6 months mang.

>>35617510
I've done a large variety. Back and forth between strength and hypertrophy routines. Think it went something along the lines of PPL (focus on compounds at low reps so pretty SS'ish) -> SL (briefly didn't like rep scheme) -> SS with accessories -> 5/3/1 BBB -> Texas Method -> Suicidal volume hypertrophy routine -> Back to Texas Method.

Right now I'm running a Smolov Jr cycle for Squat and OHP. Doing it for OHP was a bit sketchy at first but it's actually working great for me. Finished second week and haven't failed a workout yet.

And here's mine, if you count from when I started lifting in high school, this took 10 years lol

Thanks that means a lot coming from you.

>>35617587
Do you recommend going on an all out bulk to get stronger and achieve consistent progressive overload or a lower surplus with the minimal fat gains?

Mirin OP,nice work

>>35617504
Since when you're on /fit/?

>>35617632

In the beginning, go on a bulk because you can gain a lot of muscle (and weight in general) fast.

After the "noob gain" years wear off aka 3-4 years of consistent and legit training/eating, then slow it down and go for longer bulking periods with slow gains in a gradual caloric surplus aka not dirty bulk.

In either case, I recommend bulking on more carbs and less fat. So like 20-22% of your calories coming from fat

>>35618022
Legit 2 days ago.

Although I used to lurk a lot years ago.

>>35617640

Those quads man. Very nice.

>>35617640
Waist shrunk a lot too, well done

"hard-gaining" is just auschwitz skellies not having the will to actually eat

calories are easy to come by, if you aren't gaining weight you aren't eating enough

Honestly, fortunate genetics + low bf%. I rarely do core isolations. When I do, I superset ab wheel and hanging leg raises. I keep telling myself I'll start working core, but I still haven't gotten around to it desu senpai.

That is true, I can't speak for other skellies but eating is literally the hardest part. It used to be if I ate too much I would feel sick and bloated, In my case my illness played a part in this. But you can train yourself to eat more. Much like lifting this is best done by incrementally increasing it. But yea, point taken.

Depends how young you are, you always have time on your side and I'm pretty sure there are things you can do.

Surgery is always an option but from what I understand its expensive and has a high risk of complications.

That said using "afraid of loose skin" as an excuse to not lose weight is bitch mode.

>>35616524
OP mirin pants, where can I get those?

>>35621574
>>35620896

>>35620624
Some people will talk about loose skin as if it's the person's own fault for allowing themselves to get that size to begin with, but I just think it's sad that when someone does decide to make the lifestyle change that they are punished with such a shitty obstacle. That said, like the other anon said, don't let it stop you from continuing your weight loss journey. Work hard and start looking up different loose skin remedies besides surgery and you'll make it some day. Mirin' your current progress.

>>35616524

>>35621986
Not sure if you're defending the pants or if you also think they look retarded.

Either way, to those who asked about them, I'd recommend getting a size bigger than what you'd normally get. My legs aren't huge yet, but the pants shrank a good deal from the wash and are pretty tight now.

Good progress man, I would do a little mini cut and get shredded then just lean bulk for as long as you can. I've bulked up to 15%+ too many times and it never seems worth it. Better just staying lean and keeping a small surplus

>>35622450

Serious lifting with a plan for almost 7.5 months now.
Some fucking around without any plan nor progress for 2-3 months before that.

>>35623873
serious lifting at a deficit?

>>35623873

I was cutting from May to October yes. Serious lifting means using a plan with free weights and a linear progression btw

>>35623873
Did you have to drop your lift weights at any point?

I'm lifting at a deficit as well but started recently, so still a begginer. Doing SS obviously.

>>35623956

Yes. I stalled out after 2 months and did several deloads.
But I wasn't too worried about it since losing weight was more important to me.
Now that I'm bulking all lifts go up like crazy.

>>35623956
wouldn't lifting at a deficit make the program useless? Just asking because im in a similar boat

>>35624011

No.
As a complete beginner you still will make at least some gains, even on a cut.
But don't expect a progression like on a SS bulk. You will be slower and should except more deloads. You will also have a hard time to recover from heavy squats 3 times per week on a cut, so I increased the weights only every other workout instead of every workout.
But you should decide whats more important to you. Losing fat or getting strong. For me looking good was more important and that means being lean so I decided to cut and accepted that my progression and strength and size building will be limited for that period of cutting time...

>>35624011
Again, i'm a true begginer, focusing on form right now rather then the weight itself, but I don't think it's useless.

In theory, if you eat enough protein you should be gaining at least a litlle bit of muscle, right?

Also, Alan talks about noobie gains here:
https://youtu.be/JFZWM-_JNhQ?t=234

So i'd assume it's not pointless. Would be good to have someone more experienced give their thoughts on the matter.

>>35624049

See this >>35624047

>>35624047
>>35624061
Alright, thx sempai

>>35624049

Imho it also depends from where you start.
If you are fat: lift and cut.
If you are skelly: lift and eat.
If you are skinny fat: lift and slow cut until you start to stall then lift and eat

>>35624047
if im slightly out of shape would i end up getting fat before getting big if i tried doing ss while bulking?

>>35620055
hopefully you've made gains in your music taste

still mirin progress brah

>>35624097

Depends on several things like what "slightly out of shape" means and how big your caloric surplus for bulking will be and what are your goals?

File: body.jpg (110KB, 500x849px) Image search: [Google]

110KB, 500x849px

>>35624149
i.e. pic related
that's the thing im not sure about how much i should eat because apparantly rippetoe advises a lot of calories but i feel like that's a bad idea, at the same time i feel like cutting would seriously slow my progress? Idk
my goal is just to get stronger so i can use that strength to improve my body in the future

>>35624191
your really out of shape desu senpai. just cause you aren't a hamplanet doesn't mean you're "slighlty out of shape". Cut and do a split like kinobody is my suggestion senpai.

>>35624267
kk so working out on a cut it is then

>>35624191

If you look like pic related don't bulk. You are 20+% bodyfat and will end up really fat if you do a SS bulk here.
Cut first to atleast 15% bodyfat before even thinking about slow bulking.
Personally I'd even do a longer cut to around 10-12% bodyfat and then bulk.

>>35624302
so would i even be making any progress at that point then? should i keep with SS while i cut?

>>35624275
if want max fat loss do intermittent fasting and calorie counting. Try training while fasting and if you're tired break your fast before training. post email and i'll email you kinobody program

>>35624302
>I'd even do a longer cut to around 10-12%
it's gonna take that chubizard until 2029 to be that lean bro

>>35616524
What brand of joggers are you wearing in the picture?

>>35624334
have my old spam email [email protected]
after googling intermittent fasting that's kinda what i already do, i usually eat at like 2pm and 10pm, although my weigh barely goes up or down (hasnt gone below 69kg or above 72kg in the last few months) so i guess i need to cut more calories
>>35624349
>chubizard not fat snorlax
ill take the compliment

>>35624334
thanks senpai, gonna start the read

>>35624334
so you believe i should abandon SS and do this routine instead?

>>35624618
do SS for a Month then switch over. If you want more strength gains add a whole body day (squats deadlifts and bench) so it goes like ABCxDx. Focus on your cut first and get into the habit of eating on a deficit. Also stop cutting when you get down to 15% body fat or else you wont progress. Start clean bulking once 15% body fat has been achieved. Enjoy Gains

>>35619974
I don't think you'll ever understand how motivating your progress is to me. I've been having my doubts, but seeing your progress has given me a new view on everything. Thank you, anon.

>>35620055
Holy shit, are you TheFoodReviewer on Youtube? Your before shot actually looks exactly like him.

Fantastic progress though mate, you should be proud!

>>35624653
wait so quit SS after a month, do the kinobody routine, then when i get to 15% go back to SS or continue kinobody while clean bulking?

>>35624662

>>35624688
check'd and yes after the cut go SS. alternate between SS and kinobody for max aesthetics and strength. i do 7 weeks between both. Remeber everything works, but nothing works forever.

>>35624710

>>35624653
Strength gains will be better on a full body program you dipshit. Don't recommend things when you have no idea what you're talking about.
Stay on SS guy, move to an intermediate program like madcow when you start stalling.

Anne frankly, I did nazi that coming. I literally came here to say this but boy, that escalated quickly so to the top with you! Lost it at 'This is why we can't have nice things' and then my faith in humanity was restored, my mind blown, and manly tears were shed. Well said. As a 'murican, I can confirm this gem has just won the internet and is doing it right. Just sayin', I know that feel, bro, and while that was a risky click, this post was a 9/10, 11/10 with rice, would read again. I see what you did there and it feels good man. You're doing God's work, son. I laughed way harder than I should have at your list that seems legit and totally nailed it. You - I like you. You magnificent bastard; you, sir, are so brave, a gentleman and a scholar, and seeing how you are a redditor for 4 years, this checks out, so I'll allow it. I regret that I only have one upvote to give for this cool story, bro. CTRL+F "about tree fiddy" was not disappointed. Wait, why do I have you tagged as "NOPE NOPE NOPE"? Nice try, you monster. You are now banned from /r/pyongyang What did I just read? Dafuq? I read that as "YOU HAD ONE JOB". I can't fap to this. You must be new to reddit, so I'll see your cakeday and raise you a karma train. One does not simply rustle my jimmies, not even once. Jet fuel can't melt dank memes, that stahp gave me cancer for science, so that's enough internet for me today. OP is a fuzzy little man-peach, 2/10, would not bang. What is this I don't even know how is this wtf? Circlejerk must be leaking. This will get buried but brace yourselves, some men want to watch the world burn right in the feels. When you see it, they'll KILL IT WITH FIRE! But this has nothing to do with atheism. Lawyer up, delete facebook, hit the gym, and SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY, said no one ever, so you wouldn't download a strawman. /r/dadjokes. whoosh. Since rule #1 is 'be attractive', I'll just leave this here: This is my [f]irst post, be gentle.

Edit: This blew up. RIP my inbox.

>>35624718
>>35624653
wait so you both seem to recommend me to keep cutting while doing SS for a while before switching to another program, why kinobody v madcow?

Is it possible to do something other than surgery to fix it?

>>35626216
Not really, if you're beyond the point of no return. There's consequences for trying to kill yourself the slowest way possible.

The good news is people that only had a little bit to lose tighten back up, most cases. I don't know any 150+ lbs lost peeps who shrank back properly, though.

>>35620870

Biggest advice I can say is, while progress pictures like this are cool, I don't really have a "goal" I want to get to.
I just enjoy the ride. When I bulk, I focus on having fun and being strong. When I cut, I get into marathon training and do MMA. But I do always count macros, always.
