Myths of a newbie

ITT: Things you thought and worried about as a newbie lifter but soon realised it was nothing but bullshit;

>Having a week off is bad for you
It took me 10 months to realise having a week off was the best thing to do to maximise gains

Taking a week off running isn't good unless you get an injury.

- counting calories
- squats and dls are a must
- natty lifting can get you huge
- muh carbs after noon

>Taking a year off is bad for you
only DYELs say that

no one said a year, they said a week

>- squats and dls are a must

How do you live your life thinking you can avoid the most important lifts.
You genuinely disgust me.

If you want to gain muscle mass you definitely don't need deadlifts.

I’m off. I can’t fucking take this. Even if it’s trolling.

Yeah i take a week off from lifting every 4-6 weeks and just do like 8-12 hill sprints for 7 days during the sunset, very romantic time with myself

I think he's talking about lifting though

>first week of Jow Forums
>do i fit in yet guys???

If you don't deadlift you WILL have a poor physique unless you spend 2 hours every gym session isolating things for no reason.
Deadlift:
>forearms
>hamstrings
>glutes
>spinal erectors
>traps
>rhomboids
>all in a holistic, progressively loadable movement pattern

You probably don't even have the physique development yet to be able to notice these underdeveloped areas.

post body

>the bigger pump you have the bigger you'll grow

Trips of truth

imagine being skinnyfat in 2018 i hope this selfie is fake bait

I’m here since 2012., retard.

I agree with you on deadlifts, but by god there is not a dribble of muscle definition on your body...If that is your body of course.

You need to cut down on the bodyfat until you can see some muscle, and know where you are, then get back on a bulk.

Fuck off, this isn't me.

Lol, i cant believe in 2018 people still try to cope and convince themselves that they dont need squats and deadlifts. These lifts are what thicken up your frame as a whole and makes or breaks your physique.

This twink squats 460 and pulls 540. Those exercises are not good mass builders

How many fucking times do we have to explain to you people... that genetic outliers exist. The exception =/= the rule
Theres an asian 150lber who does 410 on the bench, does that mean the bench doesnt build mass either? God, you people are so retarded its mindblowing

You're still a newbie lol

this twink would mog you IRL

> this twink
He is well built for a natty, hes just tall. Stop watching your "natty" bodybuilding.com "athletes"
That in reality are on more gear than previous mister olympias

This "twink" clearly has very good muscle mass for someone natty, simply not too much of a pump.
Also I assume that he is trying to fit into a weight category

>This twink squats 460 and pulls 540. Those exercises are not good mass builders

Are you bigger than him? Post your body.

The likely truth is that you look like shit yourself and BELIEVE that you can get bigger than that guy by doing your bro lifts. One day you'll realized that's not the case and that your expectations are skewed because of all the fake naturals you look up to.

Then joke is he is that twink.

lol at you expecting anyone to believe that you have been here for 6 years when youre trying to make some personal drama out of someone saying deadlifts arent a good massbuilder like its the first time youve ever heard it (we have this thread everyday for years)
flush yourself fag

The only thing unattractive about you is your face, also stop trying to get into manlet weight classes and maybe you won't be so twinkish.

I would have so much sex with the guy standing behind him. So much sex.

>twinklex has an unattractive face
fuck I guess I'm doomed to be a permavirgin forever

How do you know? You can't see his hamstrings, glutes, traps, rhomboids, or spinal erectors. Nobody is claiming the deadlift gives you big arms and shoulders, imbecile.
