my goal is to become /thicc/

Too bad my metabolism is fast as hell.

>>40780360
I'm 5'7" (pls no bully) and 160 and wondering if I should bulk or cut to get this. I feel like I could go either way. I want to exercise and gain muscle because I read it works wonder for the brain but don't want to if I'm just going to look like utter shit. I'm trying to get the thick aesthetic without going turbomanlet.

>>40780824
if you want to avoid getting fat then you should try to eat as much food as necessary to avoid losing too much strength while cutting.

>I'm 5'7" (pls no bully)
/thicc/ manlets are hot as fugg, no homo.

I need to drop weight and gain muscle to hit my goals of Thicc. Been lifting consistently for a while, dropped a little bit of weight counting calories.

I don't really want to cut then bulk though. Do you guys have any tips on recomping? How does the recomping process work exactly?

>>40781651
>/thicc/ manlets are hot as fugg
Thanks, anon. You too.

I wouldn't object either way.

I decided I'm gonna build muscle though. Doing LCHF is gonna be a big help I just know.

Last post killed the other thread.

Took an unexpected fortnight off strict lifting so deloaded a bit and started one of Blevins' novice programs yesterday.

He's thicc as fuark, recently set a couple IPF world records and generally knows what he's talking about.

At what point can I switch to the texas method? I've been lifting for maybe 2-3 years now (with 2breaks each year where I go aborad traveling for a month) and I keep plateauing around the same lifts even when deloading. I still sticked with strong lifts so far because the numbers that I have are not close to that recommended in the estats of this place, but I thought the time should be enough to maybe try it with a different programm?

>>40783484
Switch when you need to, whether your novice gains take you to a 2pl8 squat or 4pl8 doesn't matter.

After 2-3 years the low volumes of beginner programs won't be enough despite your short breaks.

>>40783484
If you're stalling on a program repeatedly it does you no harm to switch to a new one.

Just make sure your food and sleep are on track before you call something a legit stall.

>>40783527

how is 5x5 low volume then?

>>40783542

Well the new one seems kinda complicated aswell.
At the moment I'm doing AxBxAxxBxAxB

while A being 5x5 squats, bench & row and B being 5x5 ohp, deads and accesoires (chinups and other stuff)

The thing is if I switch right now I'd have to deload again to change to the new programm right? And I just finally reached the plateau I was at before christmas (took 2months off in january for aborad and monastery stuff) which I mostly could lift for maybe 5-10lbs on each lift and then got stuck again for 1-2weeks now.

Can I just switch the programm but stay close to the max weight like 90% of it or something?

>>40783574
I've never personally run TM but just set your training max (or whatever your percentages are based on) to 90% of your projected 1RM (which is probably ~115% of your 5RM). Don't deload too much just enough that you're not immediately working at max intensity.

>>40783433
Wh-who is this?

>>40781667
>I don't really want to cut then bulk though

Why not? There's a reason that virtually everybody does it that way.

That said eat at maintenance and try to keep up with your lifts as long as possible.

>>40780824

This is me currently, 5'11 and about 255 lbs. I wanna get to 240 at around 15% bf plus rep out 2/3/4/5 while having decent cardio. Should I just cut to 240 then eat at maintenance while trying to improve everything?

>>40783648
I enjoy lifting too much. I don't want my volume or numbers dropping in the gym just because I'm losing weight faster. I tried cutting on a 500kcal deficit and my lifts went to shit, so I was wondering if recomping would work better at avoiding that.

>>40783863
For a while it would sure but you can't serve two masters. Lose the fat and accept that your lifts won't progress. By the time you're done you'll be that much hungrier to smash huge weights again.

Start at 3000 and if you feel like you're unnecessarily getting fat without putting on muscle and gaining strength, cut down on your cals.

You switch when linear gains stop i.e. you can't progress session to session and have repeatedly stalled.

I also found it useful to check myself against symmetricstrength.com and that I was well into an intermediate strength level with competition tested form.

Would it make sense to switch to texas method if I can't progress on upperbody anymore but can easily progress on lowerbody following a starter program? I don't want to milk as much as possible my progress for squat and diddly but don't to be too weak ton my OHP and bench.

>>40790395
>I don't want to milk

>>40784581
3000 could be too much. I'd step up gradually man, 100 calories every two weeks - and let the results guide you. Don't rush. At 100 calories increased per two weeks, you'll raise a thousand calories in 20 weeks. That is five months. Five months is not unreasonable to make a huge change to your body. Plus, adding 500 might work for you, and that would only take half the time, unless its leap year.

Im currently doing dumbbell rows, meadow rows, weighted chinups/pullups, shrugs and rack pulls for back. Anything I should add?

>>40790969
BACK EXTENSIONS

>>40790395
>>40790405
You can mix intermediate progression in certain lifts with linear progression on others. You can keep squatting/deadlifting and increasing the weight linearly but otherwise you adhere to a Texas Method variation of volume/intensity.
The Texas Method book talks about this situation, you can get it on the pastebin.

>>40791095
Thank you for the answer. I'll read up a bit into the program but do you think it would work if I were to arrange it so that I get PR in both bench and OHP on the same day to progress once a week instead of once every two weeks?

>>40790969
heavy ass farmer's walks. both for time and for distance. pay attention to your elbows tho

>>40790969

>>40791200
> if I were to arrange it so that I get PR in both bench and OHP on the same day
You might achieve that once in a while, exceptionally, but it's most certainly not something that will work on the long term. You'll be too tired on your upper body to make that kind of progress, you'll just fail.
That said, you could try adding dumbbell bench/overhead press as an assistance lift in the intensity day. It's not something recommended in the book but it would give you some additional volume that would pay off in the following week. So, for example, you'd try 1x5 Bench Press to set a new 5RM and, after finishing your main lifts, you could go for 3-5 sets of 8-12 of overhead dumbbell press.

>>40791307
I get what you're saying but my lifts are not exactly at an intermediate level that's why I'm thinking adding weight once a week would maybe work. My 5RM maxes right now are at 0.75/1.5/2.75/3.75 at 185lbs 5'9. I'll play around with the routine and see what works best.

>>40791487
In that case then it might work for a while. Still, alternate weekly what lift you perform first.

>>40790969

>>40791709
hehe, im 2kg behind you at the same height, on the road to thiccness, i might be 1-2% higher bodyfat though because you got that adonis belt going.

how much does that fucking chest bench press?

>>40792438
Nice man keep it up. The Adonis belt has a pretty big genetic component I had it when I was pretty fat and rarely train abs.
My best bench is 115kg / 254lbs for 3

What about girls who want to be thicc?

If you want to get proper thicc you need to incorporate strongman-style drills to your routine. Do loaded carries, many variations. Push the prowler every once in a while. clean and press dumbbells or kettlebells.

>>40797200
prowlers and farmers walks for sure. i dont have room to do prowler pushes though...strongman work is the best though. in the ulxpplx anon

I know it's Plebbit..
But has anyone used 2Suns 531 to get Thicc? Thinking of doing the 4 day routine.

What sort of accessory work would you guys recommend with it?

These aren't my numbers, but...

>>40799033
your back doesn't look too bad, but you should squeeze your chest up. i'm more concerned about you dropping your hips that low before you lift. look up rippetoe's deadlift video on youtube. it's pretty damn great at keeping the lift simple.

>>40799033

You're not bracing properly
