After 5 years of bro-splits lifting for aesthetics in the hopes of getting a gf I've finally given up and accepted the fact I'm no social enough to get a gf.
So I've decided to switch to strictly powerlifting. I'm pretty weak with barbells because I've always used hammer strength plate loaded machines and pin loaded machines, so I won't be able to jump straight onto a intermediate routine. That said what would be the best option for me to start my powerlifting on? I'm thinking of starting with SS.
Thoughts?
Jace Martinez
y not
Grayson Stewart
What're your stats now?
Evan James
Start with the Greeks.
Jaxson Morgan
If you're goal is just to get your big 4 numbers up, SS will work.
Charles Morris
>lifting for strength

Isaiah Morris
80kg x 10 bench 70kg x 10 Squat 60kg x 10 ohp 100kg x 10 deadlift
I'm not sure how this will translate to 3x5 on SS, I'll probably start low to begin with.
John Sanchez
Who cares that you are fucking loser and can't get women. Did you hope that somebody will you >U wull mak it bruhgh XXD KYS you fucking failure
Bentley Sanders
What?
Thought as much.
I'm bored of chasing aesthetics for no pussy gains.
What?
Christopher Hughes
You have to practice being social, the more practice you get the better you will become

Ayden Edwards
please be real
Caleb Baker
yeah man just do SS and eat 3-3.5kcals. If you've been lifting for 5 years you can probably add in a little more volume with accessories but don't let it stop your progress on the main lifts.
Henry Rogers
jesus christ what happened to you? is weight progression not a thing on brosplit or what? that shit is pathetic for lifting for 5 years.
Jace Hall
I can't seem to grind social skill experience points. Most of the time people notice my lack of social skills and it's obvious they feel uncomfortable and it makes me just go silent and keep to myself.
I missed out on some important psychological development as a kid/teen/adult so I'm basically fucked when it comes to socialising. I've accepted this now and I'm moving on with life and changing my life goals, one of these goals is switching from aesthetic focused brosplit to strictly powerlifting routine.
Parker Ramirez
ok get on any novice program I'm partial to greyskull lp and alphadestiny novice program, but anything will work.
Brayden Ward
talk to random people when you're resting at the gym between sets. make small talk. that will help you tremendously.
Josiah Torres
>5 years
Michael Sullivan
How is that bait? Lol. I know my OHP is at the level of people here that deadlift 200kg. I never really learned squatting/deadlifting properly and have rarely done them, mostly stuck to leg press etc. Same story with bench, I've most may stuck to chest machines. OHP is probably the only lift I've done more often than not out of the 4 lifts. I actually got my OHP 1rm close to 100kg back when I was doing it 3+ times a week and obsessing over it.
It is
Read above
Do I have to bulk like made on SS for it to be worth it? I'm not interested in dreamer bulking like I once did 4 years ago.
Michael Diaz
please please PLEASE post your physique
Nicholas Russell
Please post body

> 5 years of training for those stats.
Women can smell your bad genetics from miles away my friend.
Cameron Perry
Hi
Oliver Lopez
Start with the Greeks.
Christopher Ward
Stop saying thst
Carter Rogers
>lifting for aesthetics >this body HAHAHAHHAHAH U TURNED INTO A FAT FUCK AND YOU ARE WEAK AS SHIT HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHA
Samuel Fisher
>5 years
I'm verbally laughing holy shit
Mason Hall
The classics first man, they are the basis for all later philosophy.
Ryan Ortiz
Do NOT do gomad if this is your starting point. Try SS at maintenance and see how you progress.
Brody Walker
Yeah training for aesthetics didn't work out for me. Don't have the genetics for it. Would rather focus on strictly powerlifting now.
Evan Brown
Stop, just stop.
Luis Stewart
That's not 5 years of training, that's 5 years of bro splits.
Yeah as I said, I don't want to dreamer bulk again...
Stop what?
Kevin Young
>bodybygenova.png Seriously, up your cardio to an hour a day. You have great musclemass you just have too much fat. Also stop masturbating, and eating str8 fucking bread. Cut for 6 months and tongue kiss some highschool girls at the beach.
Carter Taylor
Mate... you LITERALLY look like 6 months of SS victim which is fucking incredible considering your squat is only 70kg. Idk what the fuck you've been doing for 5 fucking years. FIVE YEARS. I looked better than that around 9 month mark
Kayden Rogers
Read my comment OP. You have great quads, arms, and under that fat is the chest of champion. Just scale back the carbs from bread, up the cardio and youll look better than 90% of these shitlords. I believe in you
Elijah Flores
Elaborate pls
Jose Edwards
That's actually not that bad, your lower body is lagging behind which is bad for powerlifting, but your ohp and bench are decent, maybe not for 5 years or powerlifting but you are not a beginner either
I suggest doing smolov Jr for squats to get it fast at good numbers, then you can start texas method
Henry Gomez
Having a good body means nothing if you're a retard. Start with the Greeks.
Colton Torres
Funny because I've always done brosplits, never done SS or any strength based routines.
What so bad about bread? (Not that I eat much of it)
Aren't those programs too advanced for me? I thought I'd be better off doing SS until my Squat and Deadlift is at 140kg and 180kg, no?
Jace Young
I find SS is too low volume for the time you have been lifting, try Stronglifts or something with more volume so you can at least get stronger faster by taking use of your work capacity
Hudson Gonzalez
Is this a book? Give me something more specific so I can google it and order it.
Aiden Martinez
Yes, "The Greeks" by Hemingway.
Thomas Adams
Does it really matter what my time lifting is if my lifts are shit? Why couldn't I just apply SS methods to unshitfy my lifts first of all, then switch to a more advanced program after it?
Sebastian Reyes
Am I being blaha meme'd?
Owen Wood
bait thread. this guy posted in SS progress some time ago
Gavin Cooper
Oh, well usually people just eat too much of it, its extremely calorie dense. I cut out bread for 2 weeks and with daily cardio I noticed a difference. You just need cardio, whats your diet like? Because it should be low carb, high protein.
Parker Wood
low carb meme is ridiculous. carbs should be 2.5 times protein consumption.
Eli Foster
t.fatfuck
John Wood
No I did not. Why even bother memeing me? This is literally one of the only serious threads up right now. Go meme on somewhere else.
Brandon Gomez
Looking muscley but if you want to look aesthetic you prob do have to lose weight
Lincoln Nguyen
First thing you fat fuck, cut til your abs are visible and your adonis belt too. (all that doing full body routines with 3x8 reps on bench, squat, and didlys). After that you go full SS.
Robert Johnson
>far below 2pl8 bench after five years and still heavier than squat
