>>39477006
you won't make any gains

went for 5 months and looked the same

>>39477062
I'm a little bit fat, Trying to get to a point where I'm not fat at all, from there I'll decide if I want to bulk up, but for now I'm getting lean. No, I won't be eating the pizza.

>>39477062
seriously, I know that if I go to a "real" gym, I'd be a laughing stock in my currant state.

I do know that if I do aim for serious gains, that I'd be aiming for more of a bruce lee, rather than a bjornsson. I don't see the point of being able to lift a tree or drag a car, but I do see the point of being able to run fucking forever and do parkour. I personally think in the future, too much extra bulk is going to be a liability. Not to mention I don't like how being a wall of muscle looks.

How's that the gym's fault?

Damn, dude. Where do you live? I've been homegym mode for 1.5 years and just joined Planet Fitness since I moved and it's not too bad. Lot of typical brown people and cardio bunnies but nothing terrible.

>>39479029
the equipment is terrible you stupid fuck. go a head and go use a smith machine and make no gains then come to my realization that your stabilizers are very important from each compound lift.

>Excuses: The Post
I've been lifting with free equipment in a garage with no air or heat for 1.5 years and have made a ton of progress. I got bad news for you m8. If you made no progress in 5 years, it's not the gym's fault.

Yeah smith machine sucks. I got up to 1 RM bench at 390 on smith. When I tried real bench I could only do 375

>>39477618
No you won't

Literally no one cares

>>39476330
you must be new here

>>39479097
post pic don't claim shit without the pics. I was on 2 plate dead lift, 2 plate squat, and my bench was weaker. after I switch to a real gym my dead and squats drop but my bench went up. smith machine makes every exercise easier and it makes bench useless. please show me your baby chest and arms anon.

This is where your wrong, I went to an actual gym for the first time on sunday and the people there are surprisingly nice and helpful, even the powerlifters

nice straw man
my main point is smith machines are terrible for progressive overloading and building stabilizers

What stabiliser mucles specifically does the smith machine not use
Pro tip: there are none

>>39479260
It was mostly old shit on Craigslist that people didn't want. I ended up with 2 benches, some dumbbells, a treadmill, and a cable machine thing. Friends uncle works at a gym and steals stuff for us, too.

>>39479233
not my point you dumbass cunt. you can't refute what I said that smith machines are terrible compared to compounds and that you will see more gains ever from compounds. you keep grasping at fallacies. I was doing ss at planet fitness with lmfao smith. you're telling me that I made a program mistake when I was counting macros and following the book?

btw that only 2 months progress at the gym with compounds and barely any curl accessories bby

>>39479292
Somebody else already said what I'm gonna say about stabilizers. They have all the machines you'd need for accessory work. If you're tryna do deadlifts and squats for mass then you already fucked up. Hit the leg press and row machine instead.

>>39479282
Don't expect a real answer. No one can ever answer that

>>39479330
why force yourself to slow down your gains with tons of accessory work from machines without any proper compounds? I was doing accessory work with my lifts I couldn't really progress in weight except for leg machines because their shit easy. maxed out before. but when it comes to doing chest press I couldn't even do 50 till I switch to a legit gym which aided in all my accessories. I had hit a pause in the bench at planet fitness and I had been there for 5 to 6 months trying to build strength to switch to a ppl in the future. after 2 months at a gym with legit barbells I'm on 1 plate incline and 1 plate flat, I'm 5'10 165 lbs. went up by 5 lbs today too

how long have you been working out? that my point. why tell people to go there when they can save money for a proper gym. you can blame me for being weak but the amount of time that it took for me to get to close to a plate at planet fitness was ridiculous. I followed the sticky, ate a surplus, and i barely made any gains. made 5 months progress in more at a legit gym. you can't give me a good a reason as to why I should train dumb by slowing my progress.

>>39479436
Nice pepe, you still haven't posted your body to prove how big and strong you are. I wanna see how a 1/2/3/4 looks from smith machines.
