>that guy who posts in fitness threads while not lifting at least 1/2/3/4
Seriously, stop. You have no reason or excuse to give any advice in fitness threads unless you actually fucking lift. Don't say straps are for pussies, don't say workouts last less than 1 hour, don't say >sumo, don't say "eat more", dont say strength = size, don't say add volume, don't say anything if your lifts are fucking shit. I'm literally asking for you to lift for AT LEAST 6-8 months before posting in fitness content. If you have been lifting for over 1 year and still can't lift 1/2/3/4:
DONT EVER POST, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOURE DOING AND ARE IN NO POSITION TO GIVE ADVICE, YOU LITERALLY NEED ADVICE, NOT GIVE IT
Literally no. Yes, hypertrophy work is different from CNS work, but to actually produce enough hypertrophy to not be a dyel you need a strength base. You're not looking good from benching 135 3x10. 195 3x10, yes, but that is very much capable of a 2 plate bench
1/2/3/4 isn't SHIT regarding strength, and even lifting to look good you need to do 1/2/3/4 for HIGH REPS
Christian Sanchez
nope, 1/2/3/4 is a shit gauging of size, especially since strength=size only applies past 2/3.5/5/6 really due to earlier CNS adaptation making it possible for dyels to lift respectable amounts.
I'd say a limit of having atleast 16" arms at 10% bodyfat is more realistic to keep the dyels and GDEs away
Jackson Jones
sauce me please friends
Logan White
I've seen people bench 150kg who look like they've lifted for a year. Doing only strength will make you look like a DYEL. Volume > Weight in terms of bodybuilding.
Jonathan Evans
I've done it, either my genetics are godly or I just don't put my thumb up my ass at the gym. I do reps of 1/2/3 almost every session, something SS faggots don't have the dedication to do. You WONT hit 1/2/3/4 fast if you don't maximize CNS development with regular heavy singles, doubles, and triples
Brayden Murphy
>1/2/3/4 isn't shit regarding strength true, there's twinks that can get far beyond that while staying low bodyweight low muscle mass >lifting to look good you need to do 1/2/3/4 for high reps wrong, there's ways to get decent amounts of muscle mass while staying far below 1/2/3/4
Wyatt Torres
1/2/3/4 Manlet will look like good Lanklet will look dyel 2/3/4/5 Lanklet will look good Manlet will look like a freak
3/4/5/6 Lanklet look like a freak Manlet look like a monster.
Gabriel Sanchez
this is just cruel

i could post the entire set of her pics on a nsfw board, i have them
Ayden Bennett
Just drop a link
Nathan Wood
You should head over to /s/ and drop 'em in a pussy thread or make one
Sebastian Phillips
>using absolute measures without regard to height or weight You're not any better OP. You also forgot to mention the severe lack of actual documented knowledge as opposed to the extremely widespread broscience.
Oliver Adams
make one for me on /b/ or something i cant be asked
Ryder Williams
could dump them on an imgur album or something and you'd be a golden little boy. i only thought the op pic existed of her
Luke Murphy
I'm not concerned with aesthetics, if somebody can lift 1/2/3/4 they have the the technical and nutritional knowledge to contribute to meaningful fitness discussion. Everybody has different goals, which is understandable, I won't take away from an Olympic lifter because he looks dyel. In the same vein, both strength AND aesthetics require 1/2/3/4, so I'd say it's an appropriate barrier to entry. Obviously if somebody doesn't lift they can still contribute if they play a sport or run track or something, but even then they should at least know their field before contributing
The dude who benches 175 after a year of lifting and claims I'm "estatting" or "not natural" when I was repping 225 at 8 months (180 lb bw) is the problem
Jack Garcia
/b/ is fucking trash
Just make it on /s/

Cooper Walker
No you haven't.
Daniel Gutierrez
I weight about 160lbs, my stats are
0.5/1/2/2
I have a low bf% too, i look really shredded but I don't know how the fuck to gain strength. My squat seems to be the only thing that progresses, i don't dead lift anymore cause it gave me some back issues.
This was me a few months ago. Track everything you eat, make sure you have at least 500 calories above maintenance and .8g protein per lb body weight.
Jaxson Cruz
this stupid shit form is why people tear their bicep.
Joshua White
>Dropping the weight Lol. Okay half rep Harry
Grayson Johnson
i'lll try my best, thanks man. I'm seeing a lot of talk about training for strength vs aesthetics but idk if i'm doing either.
I work out three times a week and each workout is the same.
5x8 bench 5x8 ohp 5x8 rows or pullups 3x5 squats sometimes i'll add core work or curls as well. Any thoughts?
Sebastian Sanders
you are doing a shit in between of strength and aesthetics which is prob why you aren't gaining either. just do ss
Samuel Williams
congrats on hitting 1/2/3/4 today OP
Logan Brown
who is this bitch?
Zachary Thomas
thanks it just took me 7 months
imagine, 7 months and i already lift more than 82% of this board, whoa...
Isaac Gutierrez
Don't listen to this guy, he doesn't know what he's talking about. 1 plate is just a single plate, so a 3 plate squat would be 2 on the left side and 1 on the right (or vice versa if you're left handed. Yes, the extra weight goes on your non-dominant side). You won't have any respect in your gym if you can't squat at least that.
Anthony Adams
What is cns?
Jose Russell
good fighting guys!
Dylan Rivera
Central nervous system, it is part of the "noob gains", in my understanding it is your nerves getting more used to doing the exercise and using your muscles more fully, effectively etc
Grayson Hall
Your routine is terrible. I've been there too. Google a good routine and stick to it until you know enough to modify it. I recommend 5x5. Google 5x5 stronglifts.
Luis Harris
It doesn't count if you start as 300 lb fat ass
Jeremiah Flores
Yeah Dorian Yates was so weak
Dylan Davis
He said in US. In the US, a plate is 45 pounds. In Europe, a plate is 20 kilograms. Close but not exactly the same. A bar weighs the same as a plate. 1pl8=135lb 2pl8=225lb 3pl8=315lb 4pl8=405lb
Don't as in can't for 1rm, or as in don't for reps?
Jayden Foster
I won't post advice but I sure as hell will shitpost :^)
I mean isn’t it more impressive to bench 3 plates instead of squatting three I’ve never understood how people come to the conclusion that 2 plate bench is enough? Are you benching 2 plates of 50 kg on either side? I blame the American imperial system for making this so odd
Carter Hughes
i'm 95/165/225/180 been lifting almost 7 months am i gonna make it
Ethan Taylor
good fighting guys!
Josiah White
i lift 5pl4 3/6/2/7/5 natty PPL dyel GOAT bw GOMAD mode AMA
Jose Price
My stats after 1 month in the gym and 6 months calisthenics
when am I realistically gonna see 3 pl8 squat and 4pl8 deadlift? Got the 1/2 in a month
Obviously 3pl8 bench is harder than 3pl8 squat.. hence why people expect to hit 2pl8 bench around the same time as 3pl8 squat. Are you fucking stupid? And no it doesn't mean 50kg on each side, it means 45lb bar with 2 45lb plates per side or 20kg bar with 2 20kg plates per side depending on if you are somewhere that uses Imperial or Metric measurements. Stop being a fucking idiot and think before you post.
Adam Watson
I just don't remember when Jow Forums got so faggoty
Landon Cruz
How are you tracking that?
Jonathan Lee
symmetric strength
Ethan Wright
Thank you
Jeremiah Butler
I've reached 1/2/3/4. You're right, people that don't lift shouldn't give lifting advice but telling anyone u can reach 1/2/3/4 in just a few months is bullshit. It isn't that strong when taken into perspective but if you're dyel, you're not getting there that fast just "working hard". It's consistent focus on form and finding the right program. And if you were in any athletics like football, you're definitely estatting because you're not considering how long u did that as apart of your lifting history.
Hudson Sanders
What does 1/2/3/4 mean? I assume 45 lb plates, but what is 1/2/3/4? Like is it overhead/bench/squat/deadlift?
Aaron Kelly
Nevermind, I found out. I guess I'm in the clear.
Lincoln Jones
>1/2/3/4 This is not a goal this is a meme. The fact that you don't know 1/2/3/4 is a meme actually shows you need some advice
Brandon Hughes
I reached 1/2 in less than 7 months of serious training and only 1 month of actual weight training never did football or shit like that
still a bit far from 3/4 though
Carter Howard
weight? is everybody here not a manlet?
im 380 wilks on gear and i dont even have 1/2/3/4 for reps
A person doing 1/2/3/4 is GREATLY dependant on the Height/Weight of that person. For example, A short average weight person would take 3+ years to hit 1/2/3/4, A tall overweight person would take less than 2 years to hit 1/2/3/4
For me personally, 5'7, I'd aim for around 75kg bodyweight, meaning it'll take me over 2.5 years of dedicated training to hit 1/2/3/4.
> If you have been lifting for over 1 year and still can't lift 1/2/3/4 Just proves that even you don't know what the hell you're talking about, hitting 180kg deadlift isn't something a regular person can realistically achieve in 1 year.
Alexander Martin
Just got here, not sure if you're just trying to start shit or what... but come on dude... 2-3 years to hit these numbers?
You have got to be trolling - from starting with the bar, you can hit these within 6-9 months without even paying attention to diet until around .5/1.5/2/3
Julian James
Fuck off.
Nolan Flores
If you mean 1rm i agree with you. For reps, no.
Julian Rogers
nonsense, i hit my first 405 yesterday and ive only been lifting a year and a half and i know guys that have gotten it faster then me. I'm also 5'5" 168lb.
William Campbell
i forgot to add that, they also call you a "fatass", 6' 180 lb when I hit them. Take your shit genetics elsewhere
Gavin Williams
she has the same face the youtube shooter had.
Jason Cox
>only the people who are qualified to give advice are allowed to post ever >board dies because it's just a bunch of self aggrandized gym gurus waiting for someone to ask for advice Also you do realize that fitness is a broader topic than lifting, right? There are other things that are discussed on this board, even if it's mostly just moving heavy things.
Leo Myers
>For me personally, 5'7, I'd aim for around 75kg bodyweight, meaning it'll take me over 2.5 years of dedicated training to hit 1/2/3/4.
lmao shut the fuck up faggot, it doesn't take 2 years to reach a 135 OHP, 225 bench, 315 squat, and 405 deadlift. Fucking kill yourself if you're not trolling
