Ok guys, if you had a piece of advice to tell your younger self or a DYEL friend, what would it be?
Beginner Advice Thread
Dylan Howard
Jason Gomez
girls only like ottermode
Nathaniel Powell
eat more
don't waste time on brosplits
squat below parallel
Mason Jones
Do something cool like gymnastics or a martial art and use the gym as a tool for improvement in that effort rather than making the gym your main hobby
Nathaniel Morales
I wouldn't tell my younger self anything because I have no regrets.
Lincoln Turner
don't waste time on squats and deadlifts, useless
Andrew Williams
B-but senpai...
Easton Lewis
Just do pullups for nice back and you don't need huge legs or ass, that's for homos
Kevin Turner
Fucking stretch you moron, no it's not a waste of time.
Perfect your form you moron, 20% less weight with perfect form is better than sloppy big numbers.
Eat right you moron, you're not getting much bigger because you don't eat enough.
Mason Baker
Simply not eating is the best way to get cut. You will lose muscle but it's worth it.
Start rock climbing.
5x5 will give you more gains than a brosplit but brosplit is good for beginners.
Ethan Harris
Everything in this thread is literally wrong. OP don't listen to any of it.
Charles Roberts
This is not good advice.
Jace Reyes
I listen whatever I want to mom, leave me alone
Wyatt Richardson
Read the sticky.
Eli Smith
it's a good advice, if you are not a fattie
Owen Stewart
Have you guys seen the Fierce 5 Intermediate program? Is that gonna get me a nice otter mode body, or is it gonna get me huge legs for homos
Luis Collins
First train form.
Then train strength.
Then specialize your training (oly, powerlifting, mma training, aesthetics, whatever your goal)
Ss is not a meme, linear progression is GOAT
Actually read ss. Read practical programming for strength training too
Always always cut first
Keto is a meme
Intermittent fasting is extremely useful for psychological compliance when in a caloric deficit.

EAT AS MUCH AS YOU WANT AND DONT GIVE A FUCK!
Chase Scott
>lifting for grills
Kek
Solid advice.
Imo you shouldn't worry about that until after you finish your novice program.
Dyel?
At least do hip thrusts for a strong posterior chan.
Solid advice, just do only dynamic stretching before lifting. Static is fine, just do it after lifting.
Post body, lol
Caleb White
Solid advice until
>brosplit is good for beginners
Nope as fuck/10
If you are truly intermediate, you should be a weight cut away from otter.
Yep. Ignore the part where it says to diet before lifting, do both asap.
Other than that the sticky is legit.
Jack Brown
Agree with always cut first.
Christian Nelson
>don't cut too much, you dyel fuck you need to grow
>besides we both know you don't have the willpower to reach 10% anyway
>do dumbbell bench and Bulgarian lunges
Christopher Baker
Never gonna make it, fampai

Ian Peterson
Always wear a squat plug. It helps you brace your entire body and therefore increases strength ~20%. If you don't have one, have your gymbro plug you with his hard cock and squat with you. It is in no way gay.
Chase Bennett
Didn't watch the video but I'm assuming it says to cut first. I don't disagree, my problem was I just cut for too long especially considering I was barely making progress once I was down to ~170. I should have gone down to 15% bf and started bulking up from there.
Mason Johnson
Get a trainer for fist few sessions so you lean the form correctly.

>Quit football and do powerlifting ASAP.
>Do program, not retarded self picked autstic internet meme exercises, do not touch a dumbbell
>Don't be afraid to gain some weight
>Sleep more
Carson Smith
>didnt listen to what you wanted ke to hear, but let me share my thoughts all the same.
Pls watch it, bro
Jace Ross
Stop progressing, and get to sub 12%
Most trainer have shit to mediocre form.
Nicholas Price
Dumbbells are great for volume work.
Stronger stabilizers can help with progression on the barbell lifts too.
But yea, dummbbells as main lifts is dyel tier
Hunter Bennett
start now you fuck
