1/2/3/4 for reps

You prioritize strength to the detriment of aesthetics, and then complain about not being aesthetic? You should take a moment to think about your priorities.

It seems to be an argument around here...1RM 1/2/3/4 or 5 reps. Obviously 5 is much more impressive, and we should stick with 5. One rep could be a fluke or cheat...if we can do 5, that’s working reps. 1/2/3/4 for 5 is legitimately pretty strong.

Most girls like Patrick Bateman or Brad Pitt and theyre skinny as fuck

You look fine, except your body fat is at least 20% you fucking retard. You need to cut down to around 8-12% to look good. Fast and you'll probably only need about 2 weeks. You can't just bulk forever if you want to look good, you have to cut once your body fat gets that high.

I mean, lifts always stall when cutting, you shouldn't be expecting anything else.
Cut and you'll look good user

I just want to look good and feel strong

I fasted for 3 days with snake juice and got the shits

Most people on Jow Forums cheat with shitty form.
Unless it's some from /plg/ or /owg/, take anyone's claims about lifting x amounts as estats.

>I reached the magic numbers without my desired results. It must have been a meme all along
You're fat, you fat fuck. Cut and see if you got memed

Strength over aesthetics user. Don’t cut if you don’t wanna screw up your gains.

5 reps and how many sets?

I didn’t start to look good until I was a little beyond 1/2/3/4 for 3 sets of 10 and relatively lean.... emphasis on the “lean” part. 1/2/3/4 is just a baseline for being above average in strength.

>user discovers bulking and cutting
dont want to do that? start roiding

You look like a strong and virile lad, user. Just go on a cut and you'll make it.

then fucking cut retard

95% of people can't do 1/2/3/4, 99% if you cut out blue collar employees who train for a living more or less

stop chasing numbers that literally don't matter unless you decide to compete in events

>one rep could be a fluke or a cheat

more likely to happen if you're testing for five reps, that's just four more opportunities to cheat to make the goal

this is horseshit, women claim this all the time and turn around and dote over the most cut guy at the party

this is a bait thread, there's no way you bulked up like that eating at maintenance

>this is a bait thread, there's no way you bulked up like that eating at maintenance
Thats not what he said. Learn to read, you absolute fucking moron

>this is a bait thread, there's no way you bulked up like that eating at maintenance
He could have started as a fat DYEL

you are the actual retard for not know for reps means 3+. Use your fucking brain pls

See

Cut and add reps to bench for better definition.

Look. Do you want aesthetics or heavier lifts? This is why we usually do this seasonally. It's getting to be spring soon. Cut, but not to harshly and lose weight slowly. If you can shave off 500 cals a day, you'll be like 15lbs lighter by June. Get on it so you can bulk again for the winter.

I'm at 2/3/4/5 for 5 reps and still look like shit
Strength does not = aesthetics

Add extra exercise rather than cutting calories, increase your protein intake and add on a intense finisher at the end of your workouts.
Increasing your aerobic fitness while you are 'cutting'.

3 sets
Damn 3x10 is a lot
What are your stats?

Im maintaining my current weight

Yeah my chest is lagging right now, im doing more volume and more isolation movements

>2
doubt it, you're fudging that one or lying outright

you got garbage ass genetics then
on 1/2/3/4 i looked like i lifted and all i did was strength training

A lot of people who "look like they lift" still look like shit

a rising shit tide lifts all boats.

You might have overdone the eating part abit. But thats ok, now you just eat abit less

sorry to be the bear of bad news, but 1/2/3/4 for reps at your bodyweight is DOG SHIT. Literally 8 months of training. Come back when you're 175 12% and can lift that. What is that a bodyweight bench???

post body and lifts tw*nk

>215 bodyweight
>thinks a 225 bench is impressive
>thinks a not even 405 deadlift is impressive

FUCKING LMAO. Yeah bud, everybody that isn't a mongoloid knows that the more you stuff your face the more you'll lift. Thing is most people aren't 85 IQ retards who are willing to go to 20+% bf to impress strangers online. You look like shit because your lifts are shit. Can't wait for you to try to cut and lose 50/100 lb on all your lifts fucking LOL fat ugly fuck

I'm not him you absolute twink
Post lifts now dyel

Bro? Smell my butt.

now post your body faggot.

Some of the nfl players at the combine who get picked up by teams bench 225 only for 15 reps at 240lbs bodyweight. These are people with better genetics than you, twink.

Get mogged tw*nk

HAHAHAHAHAHA

OH NO NO NO NO

Goal body, not even kidding. If I were you though, I'd just cut down to 10%

Since I have loose skin though from being 275 obese, I'd be very happy to have your current body though.

This can't be true

start roiding and go bodybuilder mode

I had the same problem at first. Use a weaker concentration, and don't drink too much too fast or you will get the shits. I use pic related but with double the water and it's been perfect for me.

>>still look like shit
The fuck? We look exactly the same and I love looking the way I do.

If you cut 15lbs, that’s only 2 months away, you’ll start looking a lot better. You have a lot of size dummy

fag

thanks f.am will try next time

too scared of going bald lmao

thanks man
how much do you weight right now? was it a fast fat loss?

Cope

4pl8 deadlifts for 3x10?
What the fuck bro. Why?

Post body

We are in the same boat. Though I am a lot stronger. But bloatmaxing till I started lifting 3-4 years ago.

Attached: 1234.jpg (357x423, 151K)

what are your stats?

I stopped barbell OHP, Deadlifting and Squatting >1 year ago do only specific movements to compensate.

Dumbbell OHP = 40kg (88lbs) for 8-10 reps.
Benchpress 1RM = 160kg (350lbs), but I do working sets with 3 plates for 5-7 reps.

Lads im new to Jow Forums and fitness in general

What's 1/2/3/4

1 plate OHP
2 plate bench
3 plate squat
4 plate deadlift

1 plate obviously means two plates on each side

mirin

>I stopped barbell OHP, Deadlifting and Squatting 1 year ago do only specific movements to compensate.

why?

Strength does not equal size. The sooner you fucking retards realize you are literally wasting your time, the sooner you can start actually focusing on building muscle, not lifting 5pl8, 6pl8, 7pl8, 8pl8, etc. No one gives a fuck. You are hampering your own progress for the sake of wanting to show off to a bunch of random old people in your gym. It's retarded.

Compound lifts are for insecure, penile-challenged bitchboys. Trash like Starting Strength or powerlifting programs should be mocked to fuck on here. I wasted a year getting beyond intermediate strength all for nothing, it was only after that I started a traditional bodybuilder-style program did I start to see any muscular gains even with the same diet, same sleeping schedule, same everything. Compound lifts are a fucking joke, if you want to either be a skinny twink or fat fucker, do your compounds; but if you want to actually look like you go to the gym, start doing a hypertrophy routine.

Fuck compounds and fuck the baby-dicked, ego-lifting retards promoting them.

B-but I am still over 20% bf....

Barbell OHP is a nice exercise, might implement it in the future.
But I just like the range of motion more and the feel for my joints with dumbbells. Only flipside is to get the heavy dumbbells up, you dont have that with a barbell.

I don't do deadlifts or squats anymore because when I went really heavy my body just couldnt recover properly, since I lift 6 times a week and like much volume with high intensity.
Hitting the muscle I want to train with more isolation is easier for my CNS.

I throw them in just once in a while so I dont lose too much strength in these exercises and dont forget the motion.

>1 plate obviously means two plates on each side
that's pretty good then

natty?

Yes. I tend to get flatter when I try to cut, but bloatmaxing keeps me pretty built, fortunately.
Cutting starts soon though, summer is around the corner.

cope

shit fuck i got it wrong
1 plate= 1 plate each side, so a total of two

actual cope

bro are you black?

POST ROUTINE PLZ (SRS)

3 days a week
Monday:
Squat 3x6
Bench 3x5
Deadlift 2x5
Dips
Pullups
Incline bench
Lat pulldown
Tricep pushdown
Db row
Farmer walks
Bicep curls (hammer, preacher, concentration)
Forearms
Hanging leg raises

Shit forgot to add the rest of the routine
Wednesday:
The same but changing bench for OHP and replacing tricep movements for db press and similar stuff.

Friday I don't squat but go very heavy on deadlifts

Also I do some trap stuff at the end of my workout such as very heavy rack pulls, shrugs and wide grip upright rows (be careful with the weight on this one).
All of them 3 sets to failure

i am going to agree with a lot of the other user's opinions
1. you look like "shit" because you're "fat"
2. you're actually pretty weak

your supposed to cut
at your current bf% youll probably have to lose 10-15lbs and youll lose some strength
ideally you want to hit 1/2/3/4/5 for 1 rep+ each
chins/ohp/bench/squat/deadlift
at that youll look like you lift becuase you cant be a fatass and do 100lb weighted chinups. And you cant be a twig and bench 315
aim for that
1/2/3/4 is just to say "i can make progress" its a 1 year goal. IT takes a while to make great gains, dont expect it in a year.
go for 1/2/3/4/5 it will take another 6months to 1 year or so to get those for 1 rep

>lift 2pl8 at 200 lbs
>lift 2pl8 at 160 lbs
>wtf i got weaker

you have a great base of strength. Set up training blocks for the next year. 3 months of bodybuilding and symmetry training and 2 months of strength after to maintain your lifts. You will end up with injuries just chasing 1rep maxes or 5 rep maxes eventually. Enjoy the pump user.

what is considered strong then?

4 plate squat 5 plate dead and 3 plate bench

>+
That's still needlessly vague. There's a big difference in repping the same weight for 3 vs 10
