Powerlifting and lifting for strength is so fucking fake. Can't believe I fell into that trap by you faggots. I knew you were lying when you guys said just train strength as a natty and don't do high reps. I just got fucking fatter. I got stronger but I look fucking worse than when I wasn't lifting. I am giving up on this fucking 5x5 low rep bullshit. Im going to 3x12 high reps now to be a bodybuilder like I always wanted and not be fucking peer pressured into a strength routine.
Good, now use that rage to motivate you to lift hard then you ever did.

Your fault for bulking at high body fat percentage. Don't blame some rep scheme for your unwillingness to diet down to a respectable amount of leanness.
Benjamin Bell
The workout has everything to do with how your body looks buddy, powerlifting is for fat people
Nicholas Lewis
>OHPing as often as you bench press >'powerlifting'
Brayden Nelson
You got fat from eating like a pig, not from doing low reps instead of high reps. You would know this if you had read the sticky.
Asher Robinson
Even if you eat fine and only do low reps your body will get fat
Grayson Bailey
If you're bulking, you'll gain fat no matter what you do in the gym. A smart bulk gets you somewhere between a 2:1 and a 1:1 ratio of muscle to fat gain, and isn't done by people who already have a potbelly and love handles. If you had gotten lean first, then bulked intelligently, you would've gotten just as strong if not stronger without becoming obese.

>I make decisions solely based on the advice of people on a Mongolian small engine repair forum lmao no one here actually lifts bro
How bout you just fucking lift with fucking effort and stop crying about your rep range screwing you. George Hackenschmidt and Reg Park did 5x5. Bill Pearl did balls to the wall high volume. I mean this as a friend and to encourage you towards greater things. If you look like shit it's not the program, it's you being a pussy.
Alexander King
It happened to me as well. I don't know how it happened. But I look fucking worse after doing powerlifting. Fuck this shit. Take me to bodybuilding I give up on powerlifting
David Bell
Bro
Uhmm
If you are already overweight
Uhmmm
GOMAD is maybe
Dont do that.
Justin Cook
But how would I gain strength
Christian Cook
oh look, its this stupid fucking thread again. you can't build muscle as a natural without progressive overload, aka GETTING STRONGER. training for strength didn't make you fat. being a fucking turbo brainlet and eating in a massive surplus like a fat retard did.
Michael Harris
A caloric surplus of 250-500 calories with 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body weight. That's what actually gets you strong.
The calories in milk is mostly fat and sugar, and an entire gallon has around 2400 calories, which is probably close to your maintenance, and 95 grams of protein. There's also a ton of estrogen in milk that tanks your testosterone and gives you bitchtits, making your muscle to fat gain ratio even worse than it would've been anyway. GOMAD is what made you fat, not your 5x5 rep scheme.
Nolan Wilson
You just have shitty genetics
Ryder Gutierrez
Ok but more importantly you need to cico
Nathaniel Howard
No it was the routine. I did a push workout last night and got a pump for the first time in months. Powerlifting never gave me a pump. This bodybuilding push workout last night did and I already feel my best growing.
Anthony Walker
you got fat of what you ate not because you were doing 5x5 clean up your diet
Brayden Sanchez
Starting strength is literally one of the best programs a beginner can run, not to mention reading the damn book even if youre not gonna run the program the single best thing a beginner can do to learn about training. If you were overweight and did gomad or dirty bulked than thats on you for being a massive retard and failing to read the book, rip states very, very clearly that gomad is for very underweight dudes, he even goes in depth in dieting guidelines for those who are overweight and recommends a pretty solid cutting diet. Moreover the program doesnt even claim to be a bodybuilding one, it very clearly states that its for getting strong as fuck as fast as possible.
I disagree with a lot of ss doctrine but for fucks sake the problem isnt rip or the book, its your retarded ass for doing something without even looking into what it actually is or what the guidelines are.
Bet youre one of those retards that does a cycle of only orals with no ai and that selfs medicates with no knowledge of medicine or health.
You got fat from the milk. I do strength 5x5 weeks and hypertrophy 3x8 weeks. Best overall development I've seen
Ian Anderson
Did you forget the cardio portion??? If you're trying to cut AND build, you need a good portion of your workout to include elevated heart rate to burn the extra calories you have stored in fat.
Jason Torres
Lol proper strength training includes some high rep work anyways. You're just inexperienced if you feel this way.
Dominic Torres
>falling for bait this easily That image applies to you
Jason Clark
>powerlifting gave me You’re not a powerlifter, you’re a dyel novice who ate too much while doing a beginner program
