Daily reminder that THIS is the body you WILL get ig you keep falling for the 'strength training will make you aesthetic' meme.
Strength training WILL make you look like SHIT.
Don't do that to yourself.
Do not train for strength if you want to look good.
Don't believe me ? Reply to any strength training retard with 'post your physique' and they WILL stop responding.
nothing wrong with this desu
women love joocy men
he looks like a big baby
>>38699179
Only bottom homosexuals like this kind of body. This is a FACT. If you are into fucking MEN IN THE ASS, then go train for strength, this thread is for straight men
You get a strength base like that and then change to a BB routine while cutting down. Only stick to strength training to become a powerlifter, because that physique is not aesthetic.
posting in a decent bread
>>38699341
Love me that 1.5/3.5/6/7 strength base
Can confirm I look like that
>>38699169
If he cut and shaved he wouldn't look too bad desu. Decent for a beginner.
>>38699169
tfw no 700lbs deadlift
>>38699710
He has world class numbers amigo
>>38699169
He'd look breddygud after a cut.
>>38699169
>Do not train for strength if you want to look good.
What routine should I be doing then if I'm a dyel
>>38699341
>>38699341
Explain to me how some retarded BB split gives you more 'aesthetic' muscles than a routine that balances strength and hypertrophy.
Power lifters can cut fat too to make a weight class.
>>38699875
Don't get memed. Do a proper strength routine for half a year. You won't look 'aesthetic' after but you wouldn't anyway on some shitty split
Here's me after a year with a strength focus as the start
>>38699899
>Explain to me how some retarded BB split gives you more 'aesthetic' muscles
Because it does, you and any other strenght fan are living proof of that
I want to get bigger legs like OP to replace my scrawny ones. Can I do a strength routine but just for legs? What would that routine be? Advice plz. Pic related it's me
>>38699921
>no argument
>no pic
Can't even tell if this is bait.
>>38699921
believing in this kind of shit is akin to believing in 'toning'. Muscles can only grow in size - shape is deteremined by genetics. for natties a mixture of strength training and hypertrophy training is the best way to gain size. Whether you want to cut bodyfat later is irrelevent.
Johnny candito is actually pretty aesthetic - OPs pic is just a really bad one and he is fatter than usual
>>38700062
>Johnny candito is actually pretty aesthetic
lmao
>>38699941
It's called Squatting.....
3x a week, eat a lot
>>38699169
Fuck off OP.
These threads are so shit. A beginner isn't going to look great after half a year on any routine.if they could get canditos size in 6 months then that would be amazing. Show me someone from 6 months on a brosplit from skinny fat. They would look pretty similar to a guy doing strength training but half as strong.
>>38700096
Looks pretty good for me especially for someone who doesn't care about aesthetics
>>38700162
Looking like this with world class numbers lmao.
Why even bother with strength training?
>>38700200
If you ignore his head and neck, this body is pretty much the natty limit. You don't know what is possible without roofs if you disagree. Less than perfect insertions are irrelevant when it comes to routine choice
>>38700222
Why even post your pictures man ? You look worse than the calisthenics guys and don't even have legs, what are you doing man ?
>>38700248
Post your pic after 1 year. I look better while focusing on strength
>>38700286
Not him, but you should stop posting.
>>38700286
>>38700222
you can really look like this with just deadlifts, squats, ohp, and bench?
>>38700318
>still no pics
Surprising
Yeah I don't look amazing but nobody does after a year. My point is that a strength based routine with some hypertrophy work are better than shitty brosplits and won't make you fat/unaesthetic
>>38700336
Plus chins, dips and maybe some arm/calf work.
>>38700062
No, if proper volume is not achieved then you are not building muscle optimally. doesn't matter if you're doing 15x3 or 3x15. The thing with keeping the weight at 8-15 reps for accessory movements like the incline bench and what not, is that it allows you to avoid injuring yourself in the long run. A person who trains with less volume (which is usually a key element in most powerlifting routines because overtraining leads to longer recovery periods and thus less strength gains) will always be smaller than someone who trains with more volume. ie. someone on a bodybuilding routine.
>>38699710
>Decent for a beginner.
Trolling? If not, Google Jonnie Candito, literally one of the best powerlifters on the planet, vids of him doing a 7 plate DL at around 74kg bw....
>>38700340
Just stop posting dude. I'm not sure how your baby gains are proof of anything.
>but but splits don't werk ! /fit/ told me !!!!!
>>38700362
>mixture of hypertrophy and strength training.
>>38700392
that's what a bodybuilding routine usually entails.
>>38699169
Not even a bad physique.
>>38700381
>still no arguments
>still no pictures
Fuck off
>>38699169
everyone will look like shit doing that stupid pose with those baby tier underwear
>>38699899
What would be a good routine to swtich to after 6 months of strength?
>>38700402
Potentially yeah. Lots of strength routines also have weeks of hypertrophy work or accessories.
>>38700407
Lots of cool choices
Check out
5/3/1 BBB
canditos 6 week program
Lyle McDonald's generic bulking routine
>>38699921
>Because it does
you can't argue with that
should I not do a PPL then? im still benching squatting, ohp, and deadlifting twice a week
>>38699899
how is a bodybuilding routine not going to be more aesthetic? that's the entire point
>>38700540
You can if you like being in the gym 5-6 days a week. You could probably get I done in 4. I would do PHAT if I was in that often.
>>38700574
I only go 4 days a week. I throw in a squat on Push day, a deadlift on pull day
>>38700596
Sounds a lot like 5/3/1 BBB which is a proper routine.
I don't know really know if it's optimal though I'm not an expert.
>>38699899
>Explain to me how some retarded BB split gives you more 'aesthetic' muscles than a routine that balances strength and hypertrophy.
Because of the placebo effect. Your body has preconceived notions that BB splits result in bigger mass, but powerlifter routines give greater strength. You can add reps and sets to a powerlifter routine to promote muscle mass, but it won't be as effective as switching to a BB split because you're still using a powerlifter routine.

GTFO newfag REEEEEEEEEEE
>>38700665
Getting a pump during a workout could also make you believe you are getting bigger
I'm thin and muscular with an attractive build and I'd actually prefer OP's picture. It seems more masculine to me
>>38700565
Aesthetics is having decent size with low body fat. Neither style will change how fat you are, that is a diet thing. For natties strength training on compounds with some additional hypertrophy stuff for each muscle group 2-3 times per week is a bette way to grow muscle than a split that hits each muscle once per week with 20 various sets. All Ph.D. Bodybuilder guys and research points to this
>>38700696
Literally looks like a woman
>>38700927
this
stop doing dumb fucking splits because your favorite roider is
if i'm a beginner after how much time/what lifts should I switch from a linear progression/strenght training to something different? and to what should i switch?
i care for looks more than strenght btw
>>38699169
Look's fine for a begginer, the retarded underware should be burned tho.
>>38702383
but what if I'M roiding too?
>>38702428
until you stop progressing linearly (ie stall 3 times on most lifts)
Other linear progress is amazing, you can't appreciate that until later.
>>38702593
then carry on :^)
>>38699169
>Strength Training
>Powerlifting
>exactly the same thing
fuck off
if starting strength is shit what is a better beginner routine? asking for a f-friend
>>38699169
Who gives a fuck? I lift to be strong and more athletic. Women don't knoe what they like anyways. Lifting to appear strong instead of being strong is a pussy move, stop bodybuilding desu. Vain and stupid.
But that guy looks great.
>>38699210
>Find a QT sissy
>Fuck his boypussy
>Get him to introduce his hot fag hag friends
>Fuck her too

Dont forget to tell him no homo after each fuck
>>38699169
He'd look fine with a cut, OP doesn't even lift
>>38700286
That's already ripped as fuark by normie standards
People don't realize their expectations get 10 ft higher when they browse /fit/
You've already made it, and it only gets better
candito looks good desu
you just deliverately posted a pic of him at the end of a huge bulk
>>38703376
SS isn't shit. It's a great beginner program.
GSLP and SL are other good beginner programs though.
>>38703618
thanks man.
>>38703376
>>38704184
SS isn't shit, just do it for about half a year and you will be miles ahead of the guys doing brosplits.
Add in some curls, chins, lat raises if you want.
>>38704696
Chins are already part of the program dude
