5/3/1 for beginners
unironically

Yeah Im recovering from multiple hospitalizations and fuckarounditis. Stunted 2 years of potential progress sadly

My lower body strength is embarrassing in proportion to my bench. the weird part is that it used to be skewered in lower body favor till i figured out how to train bench properly for myself. also, injury to my tendons and haven't deadlifted for 8 months, lost strength and for some reason on this cut my bench remained while my squat nose dived.

Does symmetric strength use ATG squat or parallel squat? Also, which one should I do? I currently do ATG but I used to do parallel.

been doing AlphaDestiny novice program for 7 months now, I'm pretty happy with results

I would assume it's using whatever method you used to lift, so both. You should do whatever feels best to you.

Somebody fell for the SS+GOMAD

my roommate is a genetic masterpiece and was able to bench 2pl8s for his first time. form was iffy but still was able to put up the weight quite easily
genetics plays a big role in initial strength

Bruh, I'm 5'7 140lb. Can you post a pic of your body to see what I might look like with those lifts?

Which exercise works the calves? I never see that muscle group with a color on anyone else's chart.

same desu tbhonky

I love these

Cleans do

He was lying to you about not benching before.

Been doing SS for about a year and a half now

stats please. need to see bench and deadlift

novice everything except back/abs/biceps/forearms for which i'm intermediate (been doing pullups since I was 12)
>6'1 190lbs
>1 rep maxes
bench 185
squat 275
deadlift 305
ohp 115

honestly my only two fitness goals are 1/2/3/4 and being able to dunk a basketball again. haven't done that since middle school. i have no desire to leave humanity behind so i'm not quite sure what i'll do when i reach my goals in a year or two

531 for almost 2 years

185 ohp
270 bench
320 squat
340 dead

got to squat and deadlift #s then stopped for 8 months, starting them again this week but my lumbars fused so I probably won't push the weight past what it was

are those really the only lifts you do?

>5,11.5
>192lbs

Really need to cut but simply can't, eating under like 2500 cals a day is basically impossible. At least for prolonged periods, i could do it for a day or two but i always go back.

Put of curiosity, how many exercises/sets should I do per body part?

>tfw you spent all of last winter skiing moguls and big mountain and wanted to keep your upper bodyweight down to avoid potential knee injuries

how do you deadlift so much with such a low back squat. Or vice-versa?

kek no way you can do linear progression for a years and a half, right?

By meme routine do you mean only 100 reps of bench press every day?

sure, it just seems like you need more arm work if you want it to be really similar strength levels. maybe add more pull ups and dips?

or chest flies or something?

stop being a basedboy and be hungry you fuck

Lvl 50 novice all around. Probably 9 months into lifting. I should probably swtich from SS to something else since the linear progression stopped long ago.

squat 170x5
deadlift 205x5
bench press 145x5

Explain yourself user

Doubt you are still here OP but how bad was the first few weeks after breaking your ankle? I definitely fucked mine up about 4 weeks ago and it still hurts if it bends the right way but I was able to walk on it right after I injured it and was only on not able to walk for one day after.

I know it doesn't sound like I did anything major but when I did hurt it I heard a crack/pop sound from it...hope this thing just stops hurting after another few weeks.

Probably because I've never tried doing 420 back squat?

How the fuck am i going to get aesthetic then? I will never get a gf.

I couldnt walk on it for the first 6 weeks, and I was in a boot for 6 weeks after that
I came a few mm from a complete break
I would definitely recommend getting it checked out though and try to stay off of it if you are still feeling pain
Your lifts may drop, but it is better to heal in the long run

Good job lil' buddy!

I've been only training chest and biceps, but symmetric strength doesn't have any measures for the guns

Are you doing LP? (SS, SL, GSLP)
What's your weight/height?
Did you guys reach bodyweight bench on LP?

stop lying op, you are not pendlay rowing more than your bodyweight and benching so little at the same time

started 5weeks ago and still very frustated

bench 120x4
squat 60x4
ohp 55x4
penday row 60x4

was very motivated first but progress is coming too slowly
eating 3200kcal/day, not easy. also take brotein. sleep 6-7h (just cant sleep more) but am very stressed atm

considering roids because its my third try to start lifting and again i see no progress

Attached: Screenshot_2018-06-19-11-49-42.png (1440x2880, 855K)

Height/weight?
What routine are you on?
Are you lifting with good form?

6'2 192lbs
am doing ivysaur 448 and instead of adding weight every week, i could only add once

recorded myself to see if form is right and im sure its good. only that i need heelplates for squats but im stretching every day to improve my squat form

Do GSLP and the progress will be faster

Also probably a form issues because of muscle imbalance/flexibility issues

Started in September, took a break for 2 months because moving.
New gym is comfy, always fewer than 10 people there at any given time, squat rack pretty much never in use, nor is the bench. Everyone always does cardio or machines. Mostly old people or underageb&s, making me the strongest person I have seen there so far, tied with one other dude.

ok i read a bit into gslp
after an exercise, when i hit 2x5 1xamrap, can i go on decrease the weight and do some more volume for hypertrophy or is it counterproductive strength-wise?

5'11, 80kg. Don't know what you mean by LP, I've just been doing the big 4 exercises for 3x5 and accessories.

don't bother yet

LP is linear progression, a routine like GSLP, SS, SL

What's your routine exactly? I'm 181cm 72kg and i got stuck at 65kg bench last time, with similar numbers for other lifts

For my chest I do flat bench, incline dumbbell press and flat dumbbell flies, finish with dips to failure. I have been able to add 2.5kg every couple of weeks to my bench with that, but I'm struggling to get above 80kg. I do it 3x a week so I guess the only thing I recommend is hitting chest as often as you can.

187cm 80kg
>back squat: 100kg for 5
>deadlift: 130kg for 5
>bench 90kg for 5
>ohp: 60kg for 5
and then i also tossed in pendlay row 80kg for 5 and dip with added 1pl8 for 8
