176cm, 77kg
Bench 92.5 kg
Dead 130 kg
Squat 117.5 kg
I still look mostly the same as I did when I was lifting about 75% of this weight. I have the skinniest legs of anyone on this forum. Multiple times, people at the gym have commented on how heavy the weight I am lifting is.
The only guys that lift as much weight as me at the gym are way bigger and look way bigger.
Is this just genetic?
>these numbers
>strong
Is this real life?
hypertrophy
>completely predictable response
Look, brainlet, I'm not trying to say I'm going to win a weight lifting competition any time soon with my lifts. What I AM trying to say, is at my size, people can't fucking believe I can lift that much.
The other guys at my gym lifting my kind of weight are way more muscular than me.
This
I hit your numbers after a month of training. It's the end of month two and I don't look any different because it's only the second month and that's not that much weight
Maybe your form is bad and all you care about is lifting heavy
What rep range and weight do you do?
They've been doing it longer and have more muscle in the bank from the training experience and higher amount of volume.
user, if you honestly believed that you'd just explode in size far greater then guys who've been moderately active and lifting semi seriously for years longer then you if you lifted a relatively heavy amount of weight in an arbitrary "big lift" a few times...then you're fucking retarded.
Look into rep ranges and eating.
I'm your height, 83kg
people compliment me all the time that I look huge and ask how many years I've been lifting
I've been to the gym 1 month and did calisthenics for a year, I can bench 100kg and ohp 60 for 3 reps.
I'm kinda wondering too. I'm 6'3" 205 22% bf. (I've cut to about 200 since my bf test) I can do 1-2-3-4 for 1 (I know 5 is the actual impressive standard). I'm bigger than most guys, but compared to bigger dudes, I look small. Help ;_;
>He fell for the training for strength meme
Don't worry Rip thinks you're beautiful.
Also lmao those lifts are shit come back when you're at least 2/3/4.
if you want to grow then
#1 EAT MORE
#2 double your volume
#3 be patient it takes time
strength doesn't necessarily make you big, the majority of the gains you made were neural adaptations
You fell for the "strength training" meme
There are olympic weighlifters who don't look like they fucking lift.
If you train for nothing but strength, you will never look good before reaching 4 plate bench.
this.
OP is obviously baiting as he has nothing better to do.
>176 cm
There is your answer you fucking midget
dude ive been lifting 6 months at 5'7 // 70kg and ive surpassed those numbers.
your thread is shit, lift more.
77 kg at 176 cm is not even that light. I am 63 kg at 165 cm and lift more than you.
Either way you need to post pics.
Dude first of all those numbers aren't strong. Second of all you fell for the strength = size meme. I bet you do no more than 5 reps. Get back to me when you're benching 185 lb 3x10. I'm not retarded and incorporated strength AND hypertrophy work to my routine so at 7 months I definite look like I lift. I get compliments at the gym regarding lifting heavy AND looking good
>strong
Not even 1/2/3/4pl8
nSun 4 day routine 5/3/1. Has lots of volume.
I've been lifting for 10 years
How long? I don't have too long left, already 31.
How are you still 70kg if you've been lifting for half a year?
>5/3/1
>does a routine literally for strength with those novice lifts
>complains he doesn't look good
ITS NOT ABOUT VOLUME, ITS ABOUT CREATING A STINULI FOR SARCOPLASMIC HYPERTROPHY, OR HIGH REPS
Man you're fucking retarded, but honestly you deserve it for believing that strength = size meme even a little
is stronger than 90% of the male population and 75% of people who go to the gym
Right so what should I do to get more sarcoplasmic hypertrophy?
Ok let's convert those to burger land numbers:
5'9"
170 pounds
BP 205
DL 290
SQ 260
8-12 REPS 1-2 MINUTE REST
WEIGHTED STRETCH
SLOW ECCENTRIC
YOU SHOULD STILL DO LOW REP WORK FOR STRENGTH BUT IF YOUR GOAL IS LOOKING GOOD MORE FOCUS SHOULD BE ON THE HIGHER REP RANGES
>lifting for ten yers
>not even close to 1/2/3/4
Fuck, typo in my OP. I'm 67kg not 77kg.
Are those max numbers?
If so are they with full range?
Meaning is the 260 squat hips BELOW knees?
Is the 205 paused on your chest?
Is your 290 DL Starting on the floor? Or is it a rack pull?
Also how lean are you? On some guys 15% can look very different than 10% depending on where you hold it
The only decent lift there us the 205 BP if he's full range. Squat and diddy are 100 pounds to low to expect to see anything
>I've been to the gym 1 month and did calisthenics for a year, I can bench 100kg and ohp 60 for 3 reps.
I've been to the gym 1 day and can bench 140 kg, OHP 100 kg.
Not even joking/exagerrating
Train for hypertrophy
Post workout feeding window (15 minutes)
Tren + mast
1.5 g protein per lb bw
strength training affects the muscles differently. you aren't building new muscle (only a little). Instead, you're increasing the size of your muscle fibers. Hypertrophy training destroys the muscles instead, which are then rebuilt in greater numbers thus "putting on muscle"
Lets be real, 90% of the people at the gym stop 3-4 inches above their chest.
>No Jason, you didn't bench 265.
You look the same, because you have one false statement "I'm strong". You are not strong, you are not even close to being strong. Of course you will take it personally, but I have a solution for your cognitive dissonance. Ask someone who actually has a degree in biomechanics and they will most inevitably tell you, what I already know. When you are not a malnourished beginner (not lower than 75kg bodyweight and not smaller than 170cm tall), you already have enough muscle for around 80-100kg bench, 120-140kg squat and around 130-150kg didly, the thing is you don't have proper technique and your central nervous system shits itself, when you introduce new movement pattern and grind it 'til muscle failure.
The DL is from the floor. The bench touches chest. Squat, legs are getting to parralel but hips not below knees.
Body fat around 16%
how the fuck are you people so strong? I've been sporadically lifting for years now and have only just broken 150lbs.
What the fuck dudes, you use roids or something?
proper regime and eating, faggot
If that's your bench then you're simply doing something very wrong, most probably not eating enough.
So yeah, strength training =/= big muscles.
Gottcha.
>I've been lifting for 10 years
>Bench 92.5 kg
>Dead 130 kg
>Squat 117.5 kg
that's my bench. And yeah, I probably am doing something wrong. I seem to lose all my mass if I stop eating tons and break for even a month
A good rule for hypertrophy is to do 85 reps for each muscle group. Doesn't need to be the same exercise. Just hit your chest (for example) for a total of 75 reps for the workout
you are like on lower band of average with those numbers. i think you aint even scratching hte surface of being strong
im 5'5 70kg
bench 240lb
dead 360lb
squat 280 lb
not counting bar of course. 9 months into lifting.
i lift more than you at the same height as you weighting 10kg less
u must be very fat
>I seem to lose all my mass if I stop eating tons and break for even a month
>break for a month
no fucking shit you idiot, if this happens with any regularity it will be impossible to make any real gains
>Ask why you're not big even though you're strong
>Get told the truth (you're not strong)
>Spaz out and get angry
Cool, dude. The bigger guys at the gym are stronger than you, they're lifting the same weight but with more volume.
Of course it doesn't, look at lower weight categories in oly-lifting. Those guys can squat 300kg at around 75-80kg bodyweight. Everyone has their heroes. Some love Ronnie, others are devoted to Zyzz and I look up to people like Oscar Figueroa or Naim Suleymanoglu.
>inb4 manlet
I am 5'11", which is 3" more than national average for men in my country, which is in Europe and is predominantly white (I could already hear you fucking keyboard warriors typing something like "yeah, maybe you are not a manlet, but in cambodia")
pics or it didn't happen
>strong
compared to a child maybe
>The only guys that lift as much weight as me at the gym are way bigger and look way bigger.
yeah, and they're not doing it for 3x5, they're doing it for way more reps and way more sets
they're stronger than you are, they're just not training low reps and low volume like mongoloids all the time, which is why they're bigger and stronger than you are
it's kg not lbs
>lifting for ten years
>lifts less than a 6 month newbie
