What is the ONE thing you wish you could go back in time and

do SS

or do you mean something to do before starting lifting?

then do calisthenics.

eat more faggot
just fucking eat more

>>42837059
GDEs and retards shouldn't lift anyways.

Less volume, higher frequency, more rest. Don't go full retard in 90% of your training sessions.

>>42837049
Eat some proatmeal a couple hours before the gym and take a quick cold shower before you work out.

>>42837049
Focus on your left pec more than your right.
Five years later and they're still uneven.
Also, nice man-tits OP.

>>42837054
At least you tried

>>42837054
Unironically this. 3 or 4 months of SS would've gone a long way for me.

I squatted with perfect form for 8+ years and no issues. I didn't even notice the injury when it happened, my squat felt fine, but after the workout my back has never been the same.

It's easy for you to talk shit, but someday you'll be an oldfag and maybe it will happen to you. You dont need to be retarded to get hurt squatting, it happens.

>>42837111

Eat.
I started liting cassually in HS, but I never at enough so I'd make shit gains and quit. Then start back up again and make shit gains and quit.

When I first started bulking for real, the results were incredible.

It would either be "eat more" or "take zma"

Take your diet seriously. Gains have been made, but you're still kinda fat.

Don't do any low volume program

Work on work capacity

Do cardio

Don't deadlift, more recovery than it's worth

Do more volume

Your shoulders and back really can't be overtrained

>>42837406
Tried zinc as well just didnt get the same feeling as with zma - i used to sleep like shit. I think i got mild stress juggling school, work, fitness, and gf. But zma makes me sleep deep and wake up with needed amount of energy. Never felt more rested.

>>42837432
Hmm sounds neat. How long for it to kick in?

kill yourself before its too late

>>42837049
Build muscle BEFORE you lose the weight, I know you hate being fat, but it's better than being a DYEL and you'll just have to put that weight back on anyway.

Start lifting.

>>42837418

I was cutting. Or I was supposed to be. I was having trouble staying at 1600 so I said fuck it I'll bulk. So, while gains have been made, I never did cut. I'm still at like 18%bf

>>42837332
neither is your anecdotal evidence shit brains.

As a young, brospliting retard in high school, actually work out your legs as well. It will cause great emotional pain 8 years from now when your upper body lifts are on par with your lower body lifts.

Even though you workout on average 5x a week, don't spend the next 8 years going on and off. Keep up with it.

Also, you coulda fucked like at least 2x more girls than you did. Most of the time when you thought a girl was coming onto you, she was. Smash that shit.

What's with all these people suddenly spouting "not an argument"? You think that suddenly makes you win something? Since when does there have to be an argument? Fucking brainlets

>>42837049

Not to BULK!!!!

This was my number 1 mistake.

No point to build muscle to look good if you end up fat. I would have said to stay under 15% no matter what.

Calorie surplus might be useful, but cut down to 10% first, THEN use a small surplus. Only eat enough to gain, bare minimum. Once 15% bodyfat is reached diet again.

I don't even call small calorie surplus a "bulk", that fucking word just justifies getting fat.

Say NO to bulking.

>>42837546
Fuck every time I commit to bulking a comment like this always puts me right off :(

Never visit 4chan!

Start with overhead squats. If you can't do them with perfect form, practice until you can, even if it takes you a year to do it. It will fix your muscle imbalances and posture problems if there are any. Only then proceed with the usual routines.

>he wasn't molested by his sister and cousin as a child
look at this ugly piece of shit

Do 20+ sets per session on what you want results for.

>>42837557

Commit to a tiny surplus, and only move up the calories bit by bit until you see the strength increase in the gym.

I'm glad it puts you off of "Bulking".

Unless you are 6'6" and skinny as all hell. Even then you ought to still keep the calories in control as you increase your intake.

If say you need to be in a 500 surplus (absolute max IMHO), and to do so requires 3,000 calories a day, then you WRITE that shit down in a notepad. DO the caloric math the exact same as you would when cutting. Do not go over the 3,000 limit if that is your target.

Instead bulking is basically a justification to eat 3500, 4000, 4500, 5??? when all you needed was 3,000 for example.

Don't fall for the SS meme, just do a split

I felt a slight impingement when I was doing it for the second time. I think I hadn't adequately stretched/foam rolled my back/shoulders before doing overhead squats. Ever since, my shoulder has been clicking like crazy, and I can't do press-ups anymore due to the pain. Haven't trained shoulders or chest in 2 weeks. I can still do horizontal rows though.

405 for a working set is totally realistic after a decade of training, if you were doing working sets at 70% at that weight you would be maxing 540lbs which is probably higher than most people will ever get

look at Isley, training for a decade, 230lbs, and he still can't squat that amount

>>42837049

Your Joints Are already Fucked, don't try to hard at first or your elbows, knees and shoulders will implode. Build a goddamn foundation and don't egolift. Also, you are not a fucking Hardgainer. You eat shit, go on and count your calories.
Don't be afraid to go to the gym, nobody looks down on you or bullys you. Nobody fucking cares, you are not even big enough to see.
Last but not least, to the early anon:

I started lifting at 16, 5 years later my stats are barely above where they were when I was 18 because I've taken 2 ~one year breaks from lifting, for no particular reason.

Still, I look better than ever and normies mire so I don't care that much.
