why didn't this picture kill the SS meme?
what are you talking about? just look at these gains.
>>42316834
Because there are people, that have a knowledge of fitness beyond broscience
>>42316834
Because people wanted to get stronger on the basic compound lifts.
cause getting big and strong is cooler than being a fairyboy
>>42316834
"PERFECT"
>>42316834
Because he got a lot stronger and gained weight from being skinny. Which is the goal behind SS.
Besides, nobody would look good after the same amount of time on ANY routine.
He would literally have to cut to around 170lbs to look good
>>42316834
He went from skinny bitch boy to high school offensive line ready in 3 months.

Becuase this was SS + GOMAD. SS alone wont make you chubby.
Also that guy gained an insane amounts of muscle in that period of time.
>Now that's pretty damn impressive.
>Honestly, he might even be under 20% bodyfat.
>I daresay he looks like a useful human being. Outstanding work.
>Keep it up Zach, you're looking like a Viking.
These are actually comments from deluded Rippetoe disciples
Because it shows progress. Yes a tiny bit of excess fat but it's a small price to say for the huge strength and muscle size increases. Cut for 2 months and he will look amazing. I'm in a similar situation. Just finished a round of SS+GOMAD and I'm happy with my progress.

You could have done without the gomad..

Skin folding from sitting down or bending over.

>>42317565

>Cut for 2 months and he will look amazing
yet he didn't cut and quit lifting as a fat shit
The only meme is the fuckwads trying to make SS a way of life instead of treating it as the 6-month starter routine that it is.
Any guy who gets his lifts up from the start will later progress much faster than the swagboi who jumps straight into brosplits, aswell as being much stronger. For anyone looking to build muscle, SS is the means of increasing your capacity to handle weights that will build your body. Stop trying to force it into being something else.

Strength base is a meme
Even /r/bodybuilding says so
>>42317637
Did he get bullied into quitting? >>42317644

Just stay at reddit, for everyone´s sake
>>42317928
You're joking but reddit actually has better advice than here nowadays.
/fit/ is just 99% shitposting now

why? SS fags keep saying this but i've never seen them actually say why.
>>42317565
did you take super male vitality?

Because the person who concentrated on strength for 12-16 weeks is going to be working with heavier weights if he jumps on a hypertrophy program than the guy who jumped in with the hypertrophy rep ranges at the beginning. Weight matters, even for hypertrophy.
