>tfw you see all the aesthetic bros in the gym getting a sickening

Someone needs to add that to the "Virgin Gym-goer" picture. "Powerlifter"

>>41866740
Yes, in life you are punished for being a sheep.

Full body for the first year until you have decent strength to start a split like PPL or something.

No point jumping straight into a split when your dumb-bell press is like 10kg.

Common sense.

>not doing full body routine 4x per week
>each day have two main lifts where you go as heavy as possible
>then 2-4 accessories to ensure muscular balance and you can still get a satisfying pump
>not also having GPP workouts where half of it is spent rowing/curling, and the other half is cardio and mobility

Lmfao @ur lives

>>41866816

can you post an example pls

>>41866791
Why though? Heavy is relative. Your body doesn't know what number is on the dumbbell.

>>41866799
>counts the weight of the barbell

how do i know some dyel made this meme?


also, the fact that these guys are on roids, have good genetics and are low bodyfat causes them to look like this. optimal hypertrophy is achieved by at least training the same muscle group twice a week, contrary to a bro split. If you are at a gym you will see some roiders do a brosplit but also 10* as many dyels doing it. If you focus on getting stronger you will at the very least build a base.

Not >>41866816, but pic related is what I'm currently doing.

>>41866824

For example my Monday was this.

Squat x1 @8, x6 @9, repeat twice, load drop
Bench x1 @8, x5 @9, repeat twice, load drop
Push press x9 @6, x9 @7, x9 @8, three down sets
Reverse hyperextensions x9 @6, x9 @7, x9 @8, three down sets

Doesn't seem like a lot, but the volume from the extra sets is a lot, especially when they're actually as heavy as they should be. GPP, you spend 12 minutes doing cardio, 12 minutes doing as many rows/curls as you can and 12 minutes doing mobility.

Finally someones sees the truth and the biggest meme of all /fit/ : the Sticky

How many percent of americans are like the guys in ops pictures? I've never been in America so what I've seen is only tv shows and instagram

>>41867050

I can nearly guarantee I warm up with your maxes.

>>41867237
I live in a ~small college city and when I go to a bar there's maybe 1 out of 10 guys that looks in shape, most guys I see here are skinny fat or dad bod

>>41867237

Depends on where you are but in major cities...

Highschool 10 - 15%
College 5 - 10%
Real life 1- 5%

>>41866740
if you roid like the people in your pic then the program you do literally doesn't matter.

Unironically the way "bros" train is objectively inferior for pretty much anyone except beginners and people on steroids.

Wanna look good? Yrain each body part AT LEAST twice a week when you start off

Muscle damage doesn't mean muscle growth, the latest literature proves that muscle damage which is linear with the ammount of volume you do on any specific day is not representative of hypertrophy.
In fact hypertrophy only occurs when muscle protein synthesis is subtracted with muscle damage.
If you actually train your muscles hard enough on any specific session you will just crush yourself and at best just repair the muscle you already have, you won't grow at all.
Your muscles only grow after being trained for a very small time frame, usually less than 48h in beginners and intermediates(some muscles only grow for less than 20h, and some for 12h or less if you are advanced enough).

Wanna be aesthetic? Just train often, don't kill yourself, and if you have no abs you have no business bulking.

>>41867336

So how many percent look like the guy in op?

>>41867343

10% of high schoolers roid? Whoah

Those aesthetic bros are usually shorter and weaker than me. Those are that are either or both, are people that I look up to, since my goal is to be a strong cunt. A day of nothing but Cleans is so much more fun than any brosplit I've been recommended by my friends.

I've also been condemned by genetics, that of a slightly crooked spine and a protruding ribcage to never be shredded and aesthetic. Not that I need that kind of self-assurance to find girls though.

Ok, I always hear people saying SS will make you a bottom heavy, unaesthetic goob, but I just finished ~4 months of SS, I put on 25 pounds of mostly muscle (some fat as well obviously), I gained a whole lot of strength, and I look good.

I just added dips, barbell curls, shoulder raises, calf raises, and an roller to the routine.

I'm also in college and I have a pretty solid social circle, so I have pretty good luck with women.

Is this whole "SS will make you a disgusting fuck freak" thing just a big meme? None of my friends who do brosplits have gotten above 1/2/3/4 within 4 months of working out like I did

>>41866833

In my personal experience I found myself performing non-compound lifts incorrectly when I couldn't actually gauge contraction/activation of the specific muscle (ex: dumbbell press). If you're dumbbell pressing and you don't know what it's supposed to feel like pressing with your chest versus pressing with your tris and delts, it's easy to quickly develop an imbalance. Compounds are usually a bit harder to mess up.

>>41868746

You didn't get 1/2/3/4 within 4 months though

>>41868746
It's definitely a meme, you just need to be smart enough to realize the need for accessories. Had a similar experience with SS as a newfag

>>41868746
It's true that you'll hit T-rex mode if you don't do any accessory lifts

but heavy compounds+lighter, high rep accessories is pretty much what any good program is made up of AFAIK

>>41866816
>4x per week
>not 7
weak ass bitch

>>41868860
I was already pretty athletic coming out of the army.
Maybe my athletic base was a reason why SS didn't T-Rex me

i think you're right, i like to laugh at manlets as much as the next guy, but at a massive pool party probably a couple retards that have glass drinks that break

All the men in that photo take steroids

Anyone can look aesthetic with steroids
