Thinking carbs were the devil and going into drastic caloric deficits.

>>37775663
i started properly with SL 5x5 great gains, my mistake was not eating big and therefore not getting big

hello me

Not eating enough

Thinking training was enough to make gains without focusing on diet whatsoever. I actually made decent gains the first year starting from Auschwitz mode without changing my shitty low cal starved nigger diet before I hit a limit.

>>37775663
After losing 50lbs I got lazy and gained 40 of it back

>>37775673
This. I did PPL and plateau'd hard this last month after 10 months, so now I'm doing SS to get some noib gains that I have been missing.

Dirty bulking, thinking anything that had protein in it was good, not cutting carbs.

Not paying any attention to form, because obviously compound lifts are too simple to fuck up

Why didn't anyone tell me?!

>>37775663
Not enough respect for legday.

Now I regularly squat. Fronts from clean rack, rear high bar, overhead, leg press, full rom extensions and curls, calves seated and standing.

Having a dedicated legday gives your upper body time to heal.

Or you could just not go to the gym

>>37776638
>>37776479
why not SL?

>>37775663
I fell for the "exercise helps with depression" meme

>>37776479
>started out PPL
>doing weekly progression as a novice

Lmao why do you tards always do intermediate routines literally designed for people who make 1/3rds the gains as a novice?

You could be making gains 3x a week, instead of 1x

>>37776643
You realize SL is worse than ss right?

The only novice routine worse than SL is ICF

>>37776701
why

I paid too much attention to lifting weights and diet while neglecting things that actually matter in life

>>37776737
1. Too much volume - 5x5 is more than you need to make gains as a noob and as you get to heavier weight it's actually an impediment as you can't recover from it quickly enough.
2. Exercise selection is nonsensical. SS has the exercises it has in the order it has them (and in the order it ADDS them, crucially) for very specific reasons. SL has the exercises it has because it's copying SS and Reg Park without any thought for WHY it uses those exercises. ICF is literally SL with a bunch of 'accessories' added for literally every body part that probably don't contribute anything.
3. SS was created by a guy with over 4 decades experience teaching complete novices of every conceivable age level how to lift, and tracking their results. SL was created by a marketing professional by copying SS without any understanding of why it is the way it is. ICF was created by the saddest sack of shit in the universe (look him up.)

>>37776814
1. you could switch to 3x5 easily if the weight gets too heavy
2. so i shouldnt squat 3x a week or what
3. that guy is fat

Biggest mistake was being too much of a Jew to stump up the cash for a copy of SS, even though it had been recommended to me by multiple sources. Probably set me back more than a few months.

>>37776638
>>37776643
>>37776668

I don't understand this meme of "More exercises + More gym sessions per week = Less Gains"

I go to the gym 6 times per week on my routine. I do compound lifts and a lot of isolations. Am I weak as fuck still? Of course, I've only been at it 4 (almost 5) months. But to me the progress has been really good.

Yes, because of the frequency and isolations maybe I can't go as hard on the bench as I could, but at the same time I think doing stuff like flys and dumbell press has been really great for my chest development. I hit every muscle group twice per week. I take a rest day in the middle.

So what's the issue? How is this slowing my progress down?

I'm bulking btw.

doing SS

once i started doing legs only once a week, i began enjoying going to the gym

Not going consistently enough. I still have that problem.

>>37776868
>I'm bulking btw.
why would you tell us that?
why are you going 6 times a week? with 1 rest day?

>>37776842
1. Then you aren't doing SL anymore.
2. No.
3. More than that.

>>37776882
this

after 2 weeks i went on thursday
might just go tomorrow on sunday for the first time ever

>>37776883
That's what an effective Push/Pull/Legs routine is to my understanding. Here's what my routine looks like.

Sun- Push
Monday- Legs
Tuesday- Pull
Wednesday- Rest
Thursday- Push
Friday- Legs
Saturday- Pull

On leg days and Wednesday I also do core work (planks, leglifts etc.)

And I mentioned bulking to clearly state what my goals are, which is building muscle, not so much lifting weight. I can't get proper feedback if I don't tell you what I'm trying to accomplish right?

>>37776886
1. so?
2. why not?
3. if he'd cut would he look good too?

>>37776868
I guaruntee you 4 months progress on ss and you would have seen 3x the gains.

You really should not be weak as fuck after 6 months lifting. By then you should ohp 1pl8 for AT LEAST 3 reps.

First understand muscles dont grow when you train. They grow when they recover from training.

If you train so frequently as to accumulate muscle fatigue, you will be too weak to lift enough weight enough times to progressively overload the muscle. Not progressively oberloading the muscle means not stimulating muscle growth (no matter how hard you feel like you train).

Doing 3x8 babbyweight isolations will not progressively overload the muscle at nearly the rate going from a 1pl8 to a 2pl8 bench will.

>>37775663
Not eating enough and not worrying enough about proper form and stretching. At one point my pecs were so tight I couldn't lift my arms over my head.

>>37776213
I don't know why I punished myself for so long before doing this as well.

>>37776917
>Doing 3x8 babbyweight isolations will not progressively overload the muscle at nearly the rate going from a 1pl8 to a 2pl8 bench will.
this

all those fags going
>i can curl 20kg dumbbells
can't ohp 30kg for reps at all

getting way more protein inside me than i need

went from 150g
to 60g

and i could actually enjoy shitting again

>>37776868
Also, 6 days a week, but only hitting the muscle groups 2x a week.

If you did fullbody 3x a week you would
-have more recovery days, and thus more strength and growth
-train all muscle groups 3x a week. Stimulating more weekly growth

Trust me, your progressive overload will be near maximized if you are adding 5lb to all your lifts every training session.

>>37776931
20kg curls is pretty fucking solid kek
i sometimes do 14kg hammer db curls and my arms are okay

Also, remember rep ranges are a meme

Making my own routine while having zero knowledge about training or anatomy.

>>37776956
I literally never isolate arms, and do 225lb chin ups (@170lb bw) for 5 and my arms are more than ok

i started out doing
>curls
>ohp
>lateral raises
>rows
>abwheel
at home
had some pretty nice pump gains for a month
but not many strength gains

>>37776943

I thought the advantage of PPL was that on "pull days" you're resting muscles used on "push days" and on Leg Days you're resting both Push and Pull?

>>37775663

ending my cut too soon

you should cut till 10% then bulk

>>37776285
>tfw I never do leg day even 3 years after starting gym

>>37776907
You cant really build muscle without building strength without roids

E.g. The fastest way to a big chest is benching 2pl8x10

The fastest way to get there is train for strength to get 2pl8x5, then do volume training for a while as your chest explodes with muscle

>>37776990
Correct.
This is very useful for INTERMEDIATE lifters who need WEEKLY progression.

It is not designed for novice lifters.

Greyskull is.

>>37777011
So where do I go from here?

>>37777028
See
>>37776638

>>37776997
No harm done though ?

>>37777086

no harm, but I didnt reach my goal (getting shredded)

on the bright side, bulking is never a bad idea if you get stronger, but ultimately I want to be strong but cut, not strongfat.

>>37776868
by "gains," these retards just mean how much you lift. and yes, you would increase how much you lift significantly more on an LP

there's a 100% chance of you looking better in 5 months than the average SS retard in a year though.

>>37777011
this is patently wrong

stop feeding this misinformation to newbies you fucking idiots

>>37775663

>>37777125
>progressiely overloading the muscle with high weight is not objectively the best way to grow muscle as a natural lifter

Hi there DYEL who has lifted for a month or less

>>37777125
Yeah, that's what's confusing me. Like my physique is improving and I feel stronger almost every week I hit the gym. Maybe I should modify my program to include more rest?

I mean it kinda cancels out right? I could probably bench way more if all I did was bench, but I'm doing three chest exercises a week so it all takes a toll, in addition to my other isolations.

It seems to me it's like going from 3x10 to 5x5 and claiming your bench went up. Well no shit, you're doing less reps, so you're putting less stress on your muscles.

Also I'm 5'8" so I'm fairly skeptical of a program that insists I need to eat 4,000-6,000 calories in order to build mass. I eat 3,000 a day and I walk 20 miles a week and I'm still making gains.

>>37777134
Post body, DYEL

You arent going to achieve progressive overload doing 3x8 babbyweight

wasted time stretching and foam rolling when the problem was bad form, not vice versa.

and

didnt count macros - ate too much fat and not enough carbs or protein. didnt spread the macros in a reasonable way throughout the day

>>37777197
I should clarify I'm doing three chest exercises TWICE a week.

Bro splits for the first year and a half or so

>>37777198
You made the first claim, shouldn't you post your body first?

>>37777197
For sure ignore mark's nutritional advice.

It is targeted ad underweight skellies who claim to eat 3,000 kcal, but in reality are eating 1,700

Not retracting my motherfucking scapula. I was benching like a motherfucking noob. Tore my fucking rotator cuff in the process.

>>37777186
it's all about volume, which a PPL or an UL split has way more than a shit 3x5, compounds only routine.

HOW MUCH you lift has no impact on your physique, as long as the weight you're doing is a lot to your body in its current state.

bodybuilders are universally weak and have always been. stop feeding people misinformation you fucking idiot.

Not enough volume. As a noob, your body will adapt after a few weeks and you can lift+cardio 5 days a week. Granted, this is hard to do, but with a decent diet and noob gains, youll make quick progress.

SAME. I'm starting psmf from Lyle McDonald's book on monday

>>37777382
how much is enoug hthough

Well I'm still confused. Should I keep doing PPL but include more rest days?

I honestly hate the idea of just doing three compound lifts three days a week. I like being in the gym. I like doing my accessories. The frequency is a great help mentally. It keeps me focused. It helps with my depression. I just love working out.

I'd honestly hate to strip my routine down now. It'd feel like I'm missing something.

Falling for the "500 calorie surplus brooo" meme. There is no reason to go above a %10 surplus unless you're competing for strength. Even %10 may be unnecessary.

Eventually You will realize that high volume is better for you.

Strength is fun to do but comes with a lot more risk and has more significant long term effects on your body.

For me it's that it took about a decade of strength lifting with constant plateaus and insanely fast loss of any strength gains when u took a month off to realize that to pull women and look good you just need a simple volume workout with frequent cardio while eating a small surplus when wanting to get larger and a small surplus wen you want to get more defined

>>37776814
1. You only 5x5 for a brief period then go to 3x5 after some failures. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about
2.The selection is nonsensical then you claim it's just copying SS. That makes sense.
3. You claim it's worse because it was made by a marketing professional but previously admit it just copies SS. That makes sense, again.

Why don't you fucking understand what you are talking about if you're going to critique the routine instead of regurgitating shit you read from someone else, like that retarded trap who can't even squat body weight.

>>37776886
Once again, you don't know what you are talking about.

SL isn't perfect and there is valid criticism. Fucking parroting faggot.

The easiest way to Boulder shoulders is higher reps with lower weight. While Powerlifting with low reps and high weight has an anabolic effect too, anyone who thinks the outcome is the same as those of someone who does starting aesthetics is stupid

>>37777777

>>37778304
There isn´t anything inherently wrong with it.

But it is a strength routine, you should expect increased strength.

Won´t add much mass, usually you will stall and need to add more volume.

>>37778321
>My program is 3x/week barbell training until the strength gains produced by linear progression are exhausted. That's it, the whole program. Adding a bunch of other stuff in, or even adding a little other stuff in makes it NOT MY PROGRAM, because it fundamentally alters your response to the stress. Do what you want, of course, but it won't be my program if you do it your way.

>>37778294
If you dicked around on a chest/legs/shoulders/back split for two years and your buddy ran Sheiko, he would be bigger and stronger than you due to the sheer shitpile of volume. There is no sustainable 'bodybuilding' program where you are likely to avoid a stall, periodization and pushing strength are where it's at.

I gave up vegetarianism and cardio for low rep lifting and bulking.

Predictably, I went from skinny and weak to fat and strong.

I should've just added high volume lifting to what I already did. Would've been shredded goal body years ago now.

pfffffff haha, yeah, real math wiz over here
>You get more rest doing SS than PPLPPLx

Let's look at chest. Applies to any muscle group though. On SS, you work out 3 days a week, full body. Assuming you work out roughly every other day, that means your chest rests 1-2 days better workouts (CxCxCxx).

On PPLPPLx, you're chest rests 2-3 days between workouts (CxxCxxx).

You get twice as much rest doing PPL as you do on SS, but with smart programming you can match or exceed the volume of SS. SS is a fucking meme and anyone shitting on PPL over concerns about needing to rest should kill themselves.

OK so I'm a total noob (3rd week of Greyskull), and I need some advice from more experienced lifters: where do I go from there? Like in 6 months or so when I'm done being a complete noob. Can I continue with Greyskull? My goal is hypertrophy primarily but also some strenght would be nice.

Also has any one of you done Intermitted Fasting?

>>37778375
divide your daily protein intake evenly for every meal.

little carbs (sugary carbs preferred to replenish glycogen storages) in the breakfast, some carbs before workout depending on how they make you feel, most carbs after workout and some carbs (like 50g) in your last meal to help you sleep.
i personally do my 400 grams of carbs in 4 meals like this: breakfast 50, lunch, 200 (post workout), dinner 100, evening 50. swap the dinner and lunch if i have to workout later

take most of your fats in the morning and evening. fat will slow down absorption so especially after workouts you want to have little fat (like >15 grams) in your meal. fats in the morning will give you long-lasting energy since you wont take too much carbs in the morning.
