Is it possible to get really strong without looking strong?

>>40565488
Yea, do SS.

watch the oly lifter

Not really

a study was done, and strength training= hypertrophic training in terms of muscle gain

>>40565517
Can attest to this.
>Did SL for like 1.5 years straight, similar to SS
>did a dirty bulk, ate a fuckton of food whenever I was hungry
>lifts went up tremendously, but at the cost of a new, jiggly layer of fat on my bod
Aesthetics all the way, unless you want to have an eternal cut.

>>40565530
That's my goal body, right there. I want to hide my power level, so to speak.

>>40565570
look at this guy bulking up to 250 for just a little over 1/2/3/4

>>40565488
Yes its called being natty

>>40565488
chimpanzees are twice as strong than the average man.
They are manlets and dyel noticeably.

Never do more than 3 reps on anything

>>40565488
yeah. When I used to work out I went from like 150 max bench to 220. Weighed 135 when I started, and the day i did the 220 max i weighed 135. It was weird. I did heavy 10 rep sets the whole time. Usually drank whey mixed with milk after, and every other day ate some sort of chicken dinner.

>>40567652
candito has to stay in his weight class and hes actually pretty big just not freak mode

>>40567698

frog is the exact definition of being strong without looking it

>>40567908
hes an annoying twink

he squats 550 but if he mentioned he goes to the gym you'd be surprised

>>40567918
hes annoying how lol
and him not looking like he lifts doesnt matter

>>40567978
its annoying someone would lift so much yet pretty much choose to look small

>>40567984
Isn't that the point of this thread?

>>40567990
yeah but why would anyone want that unless theyre retarded

if you wanna be fit and small go running

what did you expect retard

>>40567992
You're basically saying that OP is retarded.

>>40567992
"man why do others have different goals then me.......... THEY MUST BE RETARDED"

>>40568013
pretty much

>>40568017
>>40568018

its not a bad thing its just weird to me

why would you want that please share

>>40568019
not everyone has body dysmorphia

>>40567994
>>40567908
>>40565530
Pathetic ass shit, just because you are lifting huge doesn't mean its ok to have shitty form, basically no control at all on the negative parts of the exercises.

>>40565488

can i ask why you want this?

>>40568041
ok but why would you actively try to not gain size

>>40565488
The only way to get bigger is to get stronger

>>40565530

That's unreal.

>>40568044
not frog or the other video but i noticed that the twink with the big bench has really flat shitty form and its weird

>>40568041

lol r u saying that wanting to look strong is tantamount to body dysmorphia? good thing i avoid consulting /fit/ for actual advice/insight

>>40568047
actually i think actively staying small is a form of dismorphia just more rare than wanting to be big

>>40568044

The way his knees go out as he goes down, and the way they go in as he goes up.

I don't know about you, but he lifts more, harder than I can. Maybe he's doing something better than me.

>>40568044
implying you need to go slow on the negative you keep tightness

its not shitty form lmao unless you mean bench which yea his lock outs are shitty

>>40568068
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYs3UEEcoKU

his knees dont go in he just has fat people knees

>>40567908
>heels off the ground

i mean the weight he's doing and his explosiveness is pretty good, but fucking A heels off the ground is pretty much the worse thing you can do. His ankle flexibility is really fucking trash if his heel is coming up like that.

>>40568053
>shitty form

What are you smoking? That is perfect form. His scapula look all the way retracted and he doesn't arch his back. You're not supposed to arch your back.

>>40568088
its called squatting on upper mid foot heels off the ground isnt a bad thing unless he is falling over lol

>>40568087

I was talking about the skinny manlet in >>40565530 who out-squats everyone.

>>40568101
then he's leaning too far forward which could indicate he's having core weakness issues since he can't keep his chest up.

Its fine for a competition or two, but its not an issue you want to keep around if you plan on having a long competition career.

he should push his chest up and bring his legs back for more leg drive and stay tighter

>>40568113
>cant keep upright
have you seen his squats lmao hes more upright then me in a highbar squat

>>40568114
he also literally doesnt do any other lift

>>40568044
What's the oly lifter doing that you consider shitty form?

>tramp stamp

eehhh, idk, it would depend on how much you pay me to fuck you.

>>40568114
That makes it easier though.

>>40568315
yeah thats why you use good form its better for you and makes it easier

especially at his bodyweight hed benefit a lot from it

>>40568114
>leg drive

he is literally doing the right thing by not engaging his legs. Look at his legs. They are literally at rest. That is how you proper bench. Also,

>Bring his chest up

What the fuck do you mean? Do you mean he should arc his back? No, that is what decline bench is for.

>>40565488
I do 1/2/3/4 at 135lbs weight and 5'10" :^)

>Inb4 proof
Why the fuck would I lie about being small.

>>40568329
dyel detected if you benched more than 1pl8 youd know you should flat back bro bench

>>40568114

If this is what you are talking about, then you are not doing a bench-press, you are doing a decline bench.

>>40568320
Why the fuck would he care about that? He's not competing, he's doing it for himself. He's not going to arch the fuck out of his back to try and get an extra 10 pounds on his gym lift.

And just because it's not powerlifting form doesn't mean it's "shitty form."

>>40568343
a natural arch thats not a natural arch and its bad for you

>>40568345
he competes in bench competitions and obviously wants a bigger bench so yes arching and using leg drive will let him do that and save his shoulders

>>40566791
Until you shave them like any other animal.

>>40568352
>natural arch

The natural arch that you have when you are sleeping on your back is acceptable. The way you describe "bringing your chest back" sounds like arching the fuck out of your shit. It will give you an extra 10 pounds easily, but that's not a proper bench press.

>>40568362
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZPYTIPb2To

you can arch without it being uncomfortable i did it today

>>40568370

It isn't about being uncomfortable or about it being unsafe and leading to snap city.

It is about it not being a bench press, and becoming a decline bench the moment you introduce an extra degree of arc from your resting normal.

that's when you throw him over you shoulder and squat, faggot

>>40567992
You're the definition of a meathead. There are plenty of sports that need you to be strong as fuck at a small weight.

>>40569043
>small weight
Relative strength is the term your looking for. Idiot.

>>40565488
Yeah, I've done years of alternating strength training and hypertrophy, and its amazing how much your lifts can increase with no visual size change.

>>40565646
>Tfw 250
But more like
2/3/6/6.5

>>40565530

>all of them bald or balding

Is it worth it?

i don't believe for a second you deadlifted 635lbs after 1.5 years on a linear progression program

stop lying on the internet
