/fit/ memes you fell for >Compounds are all you need for abs

>>39674026

I have to agree with this, I fell for the compound is enough for abs meme

Abs are made in the kitchen

>>39674058
>falling for this meme

The funny thing is that kind of the opposite of what everyone thinks is true.
If you just do your compounds and eat well there's a solid chance you'll have good looking abs at the right bf%, but they likely won't be the most healthy as far as function and endurance.
To get that you need to do more boring exercises that work on things like rotational stability and balance.

>>39674058
No, abs are made in the gym, they are made visible by diet.

>>39674218
This is true desu. Starting from a place of very low strength I had an incredibly weak core. Doing compounds worked my abs but barely enough to make a difference, I noticed huge gains in stability and solidity after adding in some basic 3x10 cable crunches and leg lifts as accessories.

>>39674575
I'd advise against things like crunches that rely on flexing the back to work the core.
Isometrics are absolutely the best wrt core stability and endurance as they're the closest to how you should be using those muscles in real life and in lifting.

Planks, Pallof presses, Suitcase carries, etc.

>>39674616
Yeah I normally stay away from crunches but I like cable crunches because you can increment weight easily and it makes my autism cool off. Been thinking about getting one of those ab wheels desu, seems legit. Planks make me bored out of my mind.

>>39674727
Ab wheel is great as long as you don't hyperextend at the end of the movement, which is easy to do. Just watch out for that and it's a great exercise.

That's odd to me, because I stopped training abs altogether since getting into heavy compounds, seems like a waste of my time. Abs/core still on point.

Read an article from NIHS, Norwegian university of athleticism. It discussed the danger of talking about bad form, because fear of bad forms leads to not lifting, and not lifting is far more dangerous than lifting with bad form.

Dont remember its name, but the most serious lifting shit you get when one of your back bones slightly pop out, 9/10 times it just fixes itself, and permanent damage is really rare here.

Obviously lifting with good form is better than bad form, but it really downplayed the danger of lifting with bad form. A lot more dangerous to not lift, which really isnt that dangerous.

There is a troll image for a /fit/ diet that's been floating around for years. I think it was mainly about eating lots of fruit and bread. I knew it was a troll image but because I am retarded I believed the one part about drinking lots of V8. So there was a solid month I did GOMAD but with tomato juice. I wish I was joking.

>>39681730
Lmao. That meme mixes actual advice with troll BS.

I never trained core and it became a weak point in my deadlift. I pull with a horizontal torso cause of my proportions and my core couldn't keep up.

All of /fit/ is a fucking meme.

>Do SS and occasionally some intervals
I got fat as fuck. Sure my legs were tree trunks, but I couldn't run half a mile without having to walk

>Compound lifts for core/abs
Start doing cable crunches/ab wheel/ planks
Immediately feel more stable in other lifts. Sit ups were previously my weak point on the Army APFT now I max them with ease.

>Bodyweight exerises are a meme
I bought a power tower and do dips and pullups throughout the day. I feel stronger than ever and don't have to spend hours in the gym anymore

>Cardio kills gains
Cardio is fucking awesome. It is the best antidepressant that I've ever come across. I feel way healthier now

lmao i used to be the same, got me a deluxe trip to snapcity that prevented me from lifting for 2 months. Good luck anon

>>39678078
it's really low compared to what one would expect after 5 years, but if you're just now learning the movement you'll probably make a lot of gains just from improving form, CNS, etc.

>>39681828
You should do SS with added chest/abs iso on OHP/chin-up day, and curls/rows on Bench day

Now its balanced. the basic SS program is for fotball layers who already does a ton of exercises. Normal people should add some upper body movements.

And GOMAD is too extreme for most peole

>>39676556
soo.. it helped you get a gf?

Machines are just as good. Who cares about a stronger core if you're not gonna do competitions or playing sports.

Seated row and seated ohp help me focus just on that muscle.

>>39682045
Some people don't want to throw out their backs when they're older you idiot.

>If you just do your compounds and eat well there's a solid chance you'll have good looking abs at the right bf%
Doesn't work. Went to a 500 squat, 300 bench, 450 diddly and had no abs at all at 15%.

Also: I fell for the powerbuilding meme.

>>39681106
first time i laughed out loud on /fit/

>>39682299
Well yeah 15% is too high for most people to see good ab definition. That's low enough for some people but for most dudes it's more like 12%.

>>39681584
Maybe for 1rm but for 5 or even as little as three, nah.

>>39681639

God tier. I worked as a landscaper and wheelbarrowing is essentially the same. Great for forearms and posture

How do you make abs in the kitchen?

Having too many lifts is a meme.

Three lifts on the same day for the same body part seems suboptimal, unless you have an extremely specific aesthetic goal

>>39674793
I lifted with proper form and then got a surprise diagnosis of having a spinal birth defect that I had no idea about.

You really never know about these things, so why risk it in the first place?

Not to mention you look like an idiot to everyone when you lift like you have no idea what you're doing.

>>39683062
>strength equals size
This isn't entirely untrue. Having more strength WILL increase size.

>6x a week for natty
Depends what you do m8

>beginners full body
That is true. How do you consider that a meme? You optimize your time most efficiently starting out by doing more compounds and hitting all muscle groups at once.

>cutting over 500kcal
Usually it does fuck up your muscle mass.

Do you have some sources that say otherwise? I'm genuinely curious.

>>39683263
That's the trap. It's not necessarily untrue, as you will gain some mass with strength. But the lie is that this is pushed for dudes that are training for mass, when volume and lower weights is far, far superior for size.

Obviously volume and exercise selection will affect that, but that's true for any workout plan, even a 3 time a week full body. But a balanced mass focused PPL is perfectly suitable for a natty.

Why do you think you can only do compounds in a full body routine? There's no need to hit all muscle groups at once, especially given optimal muscle recovery times. You're not giving sufficient recovery time (especially with the frequency of squats that SL and SS require) AND you're simultaneously not training sufficiently. A full body for a month tops to learn the movements is reasonable for a complete beginner thats never exercised before, but after that they need a better routine if they want to get big.

>Usually it does fuck up your muscle mass.

Not if you keep your lifting, nutrition, and protein up.

>Do you have some sources that say otherwise? I'm genuinely curious.

That say otherwise? What do you mean? More than a 500 kcal deficit won't put you in "starvation mode". Starvation mode only starts when you're at seriously low calories (exact numbers vary, but usually less than half your daily needed calories), and even then only when you're at that level of intake for months. This isn't a foreign concept, it's human biology. You have fat to store energy; your body isn't going to cannabilize muscle to keep fat. Fat's only purpose is energy storage for times of famine, and muscle is a very caloric ally expensive tissue for your body to synthesize. More than that, muscle has very low caloric value compared to fat. If human bodies immediately cannabilized muscle during times of insufficient caloric intake, humans would have died off a long time ago.

I still think LISS is gains slaughter and a waste of time.

>You know damn well I'm not wrong.

>>39681391
>todlers with guns are far more dangerous than terrorism.

One act of terrorism can kill thousands of people. Tell me, anon, how long does it take for toddlers with guns to kill thousands of people?

>>39683459
You literally are unless you're doing stupid amounts of LISS (i.e. training for medium-long distance running)
20-40 minutes of LISS 4-5 times a week is going to do fuckall to your gains if you continue to eat and train appropriately.

I said nothing about not being strong in the compound movements if you don't directly train core.

>>39683447
the entire point of SS and SL is you get a full day of recovery between each workout and 3 days between lifts, except for squat, which doesnt need it, AND you'll be training each muscle group twice a week alternating

are you stupid?

>>39684634
This.
The same way if you call an insecure guy gay, he'll get all defensive about how many girls he's slept with and stuff to defend his perceived threatened manhood. Overcompensation, pretty much.

Yes, what a load of crap. I find only a rather radical deficit works well for me. 500kcal deficit is harder to maintain for me than 1000kcal and as long as I eat my fiber and protein and do volume it also hurts my gains less. I'm much rather cutting at -1000+kcal for a few weeks than at -500 kcal for months.
