>tfw fell for the SS meme
What did you fuckers do to me? I can't wear anything other than shorts and sweat pants anymore.
>actually wanting big quads.
Cucking your own cockesthetics to impress a bunch of DYEL autistic faggots on 4chan, real smart move.
Good news is that you can fix that problem by replacing Squats with Leg Press, and never doing more than 4 plates per side, and staying high rep (10+) and using Deadlifts/Deficit Deadlifts as you main leg movement.

SS is a fucking meme. dont do that shit
and even if u build big quads, dyel normie fags are gonna still think you skipped leg day
>>42223546
hmmmm
>>42223575
That makes no sense. Why would you do high volume sets if your goal is to reduce size?
>>42223546
God it looks hideous
>>42223604
4x10 leg-press with only 4 plates on each side (160kg) will only build muscular looking quads, not gigantic tree trunk quads.

t-thanks

Am I completely insane? OP's legs are my goal, they look like Snake's legs in MGS 5.
>>42223735
But you're already a demon
Am I the only one who thinks big quads are aesthetic?
>>42223546
Also remember that the majority of /fit/ are high school students desperate to get laid. So thats why they say SS is a meme since its not a bodybuilding routine. And also because they aren't smart enough to read further than the sticky without sparknotes

OP here, I've never, ever heard single compliment from a woman about my quads. My ass yes, but my quads no. Girls like pecs, arms, and delts the most in my experience. Only guys mire my legs.
>>42223546
Nothing wrong with leg mass, but the proportions look off to me here.
>>42223546
What're your lifts/how much do you weigh?
Also invest in somewhat stretchy jeans, no one can tell the difference AND they don't tear as easily in the crotch.

>What're your lifts/how much do you weigh?
I've lost a lot of weight and I've been taking it easy with the weights. Right now at about 88-89kg I hit 170kg for 8 reps today.
At my peak when I was 98kg last winter I hit 235kg for 2 reps.
>Also invest in somewhat stretchy jeans, no one can tell the difference AND they don't tear as easily in the crotch.
I'll give em a try.

If you're willing to eat a fair bit again you could do pretty fucking well powerlifting
Assuming that your bench and deadlift aren't bad a ~240kg squat at 98kg is pretty decent for someone new. You could probably do well in strength sports if you wanted to compete.
>>42223599
that's not an arm, fucking google
>>42223887
they don't compliment it but they definitely find it weird looking if a guy has buff upper body but scrawny legs. But at the same time, i only heard 3 girls tell me this
>>42223546
Bulgarian?
i'm jelly, i want pistons like that
Wish my quads responded so well to lower body training as they do in OP. Due short torso I need a ton of mass on them to look good.
>>42224183
I'm not that new, I used to fuck around with brosplits and shit, then came to fit and started doing strength stuff because I was convinced that's the "proper" way to train. My arms have stayed the exact same size while my legs exploded, so idk if it was.
>>42224199
дa
Post your routine.
And the weights
>>42224244
You're new to strength training and it looks like you respond pretty fucking well to it. If you're interested in competing in PL/strongman you could probably do really well.
>>42223887
>Only guys mire my legs
>implyingthis is bad
>>42224270
I don't have a singular routine. I used to do broslits, then switched SS/SL type training, then Upper/Lower and now I'm doing PPLPPLX with lots of cardio so I can recomp before my next bulk. The improved stamina and resting heart rate has been a nice bonus too.
If you're asking about my 1RMs, they're:
180kg bench
235kg x2 squat
250-260kg on the deadlift, I'm not sure since I usually do squats and deadlifts on the same day. That's at 98kg, though. I'm about 88 now.
>>42224183
Am I a squatlet? I can only hit 100 kg squats for reps (5x5)
>>42224305
>180kg bench
jesus christ
show me the secret
plz
>>42224274
Well, I wouldn't call 3 years of strength training new. I think any guy can hit my stats if they were autistic enough.
>>42224330
It's just genetics, I've always had good dips and bench press. Even when I was fucking around with brosplits I could do 130kg, then I stalled at around 3plate until I moved onto more powerlifting types of training. My bench isn't even that good compared to my dips, I've done 3 reps with an extra 100kg while weight 100kg myself. My chest/delt/tricep chain is just good, I guess.
