Childhood is idolizyng zyzz.

Adulthood is realising that your training should match your goals.

True maturity is realizing that keeping fit and healthy for yourself and the people you care about is more important then impressing losers online and following the advice of absolute fucking retards who've accomplished fuck all in their lives and are idolized for their internet personas.
Adulthood is realising that an all around healthy body, with functional strength and mobility is more important than having the biggest mass. That's why I do calisthenics.
>>39633162
my goal is to be strong not look like a puffer fish that is useless
>>39633162
Except your goals aren't realistic because most of the "natural" dudes who do brosplits are juicing, so you are being mislead to an unreachable goal via useless means.

If that's the case I hope you are doing either Sheiko or Westside.

>assuming that I want to be a fitness model
peak of brain evolution is realizing that the weight you can lift is not nearly as important as the weight people think you can lift. being huge is the most important thing in life

Adulthood is realising that Zyzz was an attention-seeking degenerate who died of an overdose when he was ~20 years old and that Rippetoe is a fat old man who knows slightly more than an average P.E. teacher about training.

I'd rather be a fat old man than a dead fuckboy

childhood - idolizing rippletoe
adulthood - realizing my goals are unattainable and I should stop giving a shit, and just go lift anyway. I'm never going to be aesthetic or jacked.
Zyzz was always a faggot juicer anyway. I see a million of those kids at the gym already.
>>39633142
adulthood would be to stop shitposting
>>39633201
And anyone telling you that you can progress on the short sighted barebones powerlifting programs in the OP past the beginner stage, on any level, without injury and or getting fat as shit is retarded, lying or a shill.
Childhood is lifting weights. Adulthood is realizing the weights carry you

Tfw I look like this guy basically.
Obviously, needs to lose weight but what hair, beard and glasses will look good if he were to cut?
>>39633293
Saying Rippletits is hardly more knowledgeable than a PE instructor is like saying that Einstein was just a school dropout.
>>39633606
The only place Ripp has any reverence is on Internet forums. He has had spats with everyone from CWS to Louie Simmons.
