I got memed into SS and got fat

Pretty much this body. Viridian Keisha hem hall own bush Uzumaki

What are your lifts though?

Hahahahahahahhahahahahhahaha

Progressive overload is what gives strength (duhh) and strength is mutually binded with hypertrophy. Go get your shit together. I'm doing something similar to SS, 3x5 of all compounds while on a deficit and i'm already seeing bigger chest, bigger traps, bigger lats, bigger legs. You just don't know what the fuck you're doing.

First time you enter the gym you start with a bar and slowly add the weight working up to your 1rm

>memed into SS
Mate the only thing that memed you is yourself. You're clearly not following any program at all.
Learn how to workout before you learn how to use a bloody program.
Absolute normie

>For muscle growth you need lots of volume.
Stop with this bro science shit. What matters is set x reps x weight. The difference between high/low reps is that high reps give you more strenght and a little less size while low reps give you more size and a little less strength. When starting out you're going to want to build strength.

>You need more than 1 exercise for each muscle group.
Fuck you man, give me a reputable source on that claim. Bunch of fucking bro science.

Just run an ec stack for a month you worthless fat bastard

Starting my 4th week of SS
I know I'm weak but R8 my lifts [lbs]:

Squat 200 3x5
OHP 100 3x5
Bench 140 3x5
Deads 2505 x5
BB row 165 3x5

182 lb bodyweigh. How long until I hit 1/2/3/4?

Mixed up high and low reps in that second sentence but you get the point.

What weights did you start with?

You'll get too tired from your 5rm, 4rm, 3rm etc. to get to your true 1rm. Not to mention training that close to failure, unsupervised, as a rank beginner, is dangerous and can lead to injury.

>Not to mention training that close to failure, unsupervised, as a rank beginner, is dangerous and can lead to injury.
I guess you wear bubble wrap to the gym and stop your sets as soon as they get hard.

>The gym made me fat

Attached: image-137-1.jpg (300x386, 24K)

Squat 150 3x5
OHP 85 3x5
Bench 115 3x5
Deads 205 x5

179 lb bodyweight
Had to miss one session on a trip to Nashville, and had to dump my squat on the second session because I didn't recover, but since then been eating a lot more and recovering fine and increasing everything but OHP every session.
OHP is fucking hard to progress, maybe should have started lighter.

...

No excuse to be doing 3x5 so early. Stick to 5x5.its not like you have anything better to be doing lardass

starting strength is shite

>No excuse to be doing 3x5 so early
That's literally SS

Greyskull is superior in every way

I don't like SS because I think its volume is too low, but if you got fat like that, you probably ate like a pig or started bulking when you should've been cutting.

> blaming others for your mistakes

not gonna make itttt like that fren

> high reps give you more strenght and a little less size while low reps give you more size and a little less strength.
It's literally the opposite you retard.

Rip doesn’t say to start with the bar you illiterate faggot

Not that guy but...no it’s not. At all. Every knows higher intensity lower reps is for CNS gains and sheer volume is for hypertrophy. That’s why powerlifters do the former and bodybuilders the latter.

moron

>inb4 taking the b8
How long did you do SS? Did you do GOMAD like some kind of fucking tard?

My bad, guess I’m high, totally misread your post

You realise all these people starting threads with pictures of fat people and bitching about SS are trolls, right?

>can't even deadlift without muscles
Lmao at you brainlet

Jow Forums is the dumbest board I swear

SS and similar faggorty is like a test; it separates mentally and genetically retarded individuals from normal humans!

>bro science
lmao, just admit you are wrong.

VOLUME = KING

EDUCATE Urself

>that feel when lifting more than me when I was 3 months in

Nigger if you read the book you'd know that you're supposed to do fives up until the bar starts to slow down and then to do two more sets of five at that weight

starting STRENGTH is for retard skellies who are not eating enough and can't bench the bar. It is designed to get them to a very respectable level of strength, and the GOMAD which is integral to the program, is to absolutely guarantee that they are getting enough protein and calories. If you were not a skelly, or you were expecting to look like zyzz, then you clearly did not research the program, and if you got poor strength results, you did not follow the program.

Yeah on your first day to get you set with starting weights for your progression.
That doesn’t mean start with an empty bar as your first working set.

impressive deadlift m8

>SS
>row
yikes

>>SS
>>row
I started doing it last week, adding it in once a week to help with my deadlift which I stalled on for two sessions. It's working.

>comparing yourself to others
It's just my raging manlet Bulgarian DNA.

I was a 110lb skelly at the time so that might have something to do with it

Get off SS. You’re definitely strong enough to go though more advanced routines

More like it separates autists from normal humans. Normal people can follow a routine and modify it as they go along. “hey, i’ve been doing this GOMAD shit for two weeks now and I’m no longer a skelly. Maybe I should cut back to a glass or two glasses a day.”

“Hey, I noticed Mark Rippletits never really has any great pull progression or volume. I’m going to incorporate more rows and bodyweight exercises in my routine”

Autists will follow the guide to the fucking letter for maybe even years and then cry about how they’re getting fucked up. They have no common sense and can’t separate the good from the bad.

Just admit you didn't actually read the book.
Post your current

The reason people fail SS is because the time in the gym is too low for beginners. 3 days a week of short work outs isn't long enough to set a habit or feel completely comfortable in a gym, which are important for actually following through. When you first start you should go to the gym at least five days a week and stay at least an hour an half just using all the different equipment and make small talk with the workers or anyone who seems nice. It's important to set the routine and feel comfortable so you'll stick to it and it's important to feel comfortable so you can concentrate on the task of lifting.

>beginner
>5 days a week
kek that's how you burn someone the fuck out
SS is perfect. Simply. Get in, do some compound movements, get out.
Plus it gets a novice comfortable with the best big lifts early. You can add accessory work around those later, but to be able to do the big compound lifts with good form is important, whether you're aiming to gain strength or just aesthetics.
>implying Arnold and Franco didn't squat, bench and deadlift

It's for getting strength, not aesthetics. I had a good run, tho I'm about to switch to PHUL.
The strength gains were awesome but I'm tired of looking like shit.

6' 184lb 5 months
130 ohp
185x4 bench

I think I want to continue SS until I start plateauing hard.
Plus once a week I add in rows, some chins, incline db bench, leg press, and calf raises because I have an extra day of recovery and want at least a little bit of hypertrophy training.

No reason to switch as long as you're making gains. Unless you really want to.

>I ONLY DID SS AND ATE A MASSIVE EXCESS FOR A YEAR STRAIGHT WHY AM I FAT
i swear to god you retards deserve this for blindly following routines and not even doing them correctly. Let this be a lesson to you dumbasses who dont read into why you do certain routines and what to progress into after finishing beginner shit

what the fuck am I reading

the only thing ss is good for is creating the habit of going to the gym

I have been always wondering if 4chinners troll themselves for the sake of trolling. How stupid do you have to be to follow purely strength routine and then expect it to give you Adonis body WHILE overeating.

t. someone who did stronglifts on 300kcal deficit

it has a cooler name so it must be

Eat less, do more volume if you want to look good, ss is a strength program.-

>squat 200
>deadlift 2500
how much spine you got left bro

>deadlif 2505x5
Fucking chad, I permit you to slap my wife's ass

fucking retard

So much hate on this guy, but he's right. I got fat doing rippetoes shit as well. A lot of people respond better to higher frequency training and actually directly training shit like forearms, calves and shoulders. SS is a waste of time past 3 months to just get used to the lifts, and even then I think a higher rep range better reinforces proper form than struggling for 5 reps on your last set.

what about SL 5x5?

>2845 lb total at 182 lb
mirin

If you're a beginner any beginner routine is fine.

Literally just SS with two extra sets per exercise. Which means it's better because more volume = more gains.

Riptoe is in his 60s and lifts more then the majority of this board. The program is Starting Strength not Starting Aesthetic

Literally this

I always lol when I see boxerlets rolling up the legs of the underwear.
