Is it possible to get really strong without looking strong?

Never do more than 3 reps on anything

this
hit 1/2/3/4 a few months ago

father asks me if i'm still going to the gym

should i just start shooting my dick full of roids or what?

>I just watched that whole video

totally not gay, just checking his form, just checking his form...

>Low reps
>Low BF
>Regular/baggy clothes

check out Johnnie Candito

Yes

get bitten by a radioactive spider

yeah. When I used to work out I went from like 150 max bench to 220. Weighed 135 when I started, and the day i did the 220 max i weighed 135. It was weird. I did heavy 10 rep sets the whole time. Usually drank whey mixed with milk after, and every other day ate some sort of chicken dinner.

candito has to stay in his weight class and hes actually pretty big just not freak mode

hes fuckin annoying and wont eat

frog is the exact definition of being strong without looking it

hes an annoying twink

he squats 550 but if he mentioned he goes to the gym you'd be surprised

hes annoying how lol
and him not looking like he lifts doesnt matter

its annoying someone would lift so much yet pretty much choose to look small

Isn't that the point of this thread?

yeah but why would anyone want that unless theyre retarded

if you wanna be fit and small go running

>i ate a lot of food and now i'm fat
what did you expect retard

You're basically saying that OP is retarded.

"man why do others have different goals then me.......... THEY MUST BE RETARDED"

pretty much

its not a bad thing its just weird to me

why would you want that please share

not everyone has body dysmorphia

Pathetic ass shit, just because you are lifting huge doesn't mean its ok to have shitty form, basically no control at all on the negative parts of the exercises.

can i ask why you want this?

ok but why would you actively try to not gain size

The only way to get bigger is to get stronger

That's unreal.

not frog or the other video but i noticed that the twink with the big bench has really flat shitty form and its weird

lol r u saying that wanting to look strong is tantamount to body dysmorphia? good thing i avoid consulting Veeky Forums for actual advice/insight

actually i think actively staying small is a form of dismorphia just more rare than wanting to be big

The way his knees go out as he goes down, and the way they go in as he goes up.

I don't know about you, but he lifts more, harder than I can. Maybe he's doing something better than me.

implying you need to go slow on the negative you keep tightness

its not shitty form lmao unless you mean bench which yea his lock outs are shitty

youtube.com/watch?v=oYs3UEEcoKU

his knees dont go in he just has fat people knees

>heels off the ground

i mean the weight he's doing and his explosiveness is pretty good, but fucking A heels off the ground is pretty much the worse thing you can do. His ankle flexibility is really fucking trash if his heel is coming up like that.

>shitty form

What are you smoking? That is perfect form. His scapula look all the way retracted and he doesn't arch his back. You're not supposed to arch your back.

its called squatting on upper mid foot heels off the ground isnt a bad thing unless he is falling over lol

I was talking about the skinny manlet in who out-squats everyone.

then he's leaning too far forward which could indicate he's having core weakness issues since he can't keep his chest up.

Its fine for a competition or two, but its not an issue you want to keep around if you plan on having a long competition career.

he should push his chest up and bring his legs back for more leg drive and stay tighter

yes

>cant keep upright
have you seen his squats lmao hes more upright then me in a highbar squat

he also literally doesnt do any other lift

What's the oly lifter doing that you consider shitty form?

>tramp stamp

eehhh, idk, it would depend on how much you pay me to fuck you.

That makes it easier though.

yeah thats why you use good form its better for you and makes it easier

especially at his bodyweight hed benefit a lot from it

>leg drive

he is literally doing the right thing by not engaging his legs. Look at his legs. They are literally at rest. That is how you proper bench. Also,

>Bring his chest up

What the fuck do you mean? Do you mean he should arc his back? No, that is what decline bench is for.

I do 1/2/3/4 at 135lbs weight and 5'10" :^)

>Inb4 proof
Why the fuck would I lie about being small.

dyel detected if you benched more than 1pl8 youd know you should flat back bro bench

If this is what you are talking about, then you are not doing a bench-press, you are doing a decline bench.

Why the fuck would he care about that? He's not competing, he's doing it for himself. He's not going to arch the fuck out of his back to try and get an extra 10 pounds on his gym lift.

And just because it's not powerlifting form doesn't mean it's "shitty form."

a natural arch thats not a natural arch and its bad for you

he competes in bench competitions and obviously wants a bigger bench so yes arching and using leg drive will let him do that and save his shoulders

Until you shave them like any other animal.

>natural arch

The natural arch that you have when you are sleeping on your back is acceptable. The way you describe "bringing your chest back" sounds like arching the fuck out of your shit. It will give you an extra 10 pounds easily, but that's not a proper bench press.

youtube.com/watch?v=hZPYTIPb2To

you can arch without it being uncomfortable i did it today

It isn't about being uncomfortable or about it being unsafe and leading to snap city.

It is about it not being a bench press, and becoming a decline bench the moment you introduce an extra degree of arc from your resting normal.

that's when you throw him over you shoulder and squat, faggot

You're the definition of a meathead. There are plenty of sports that need you to be strong as fuck at a small weight.

>small weight
Relative strength is the term your looking for. Idiot.

Yeah, I've done years of alternating strength training and hypertrophy, and its amazing how much your lifts can increase with no visual size change.

>Tfw 250
But more like
2/3/6/6.5

>all of them bald or balding

Is it worth it?

i don't believe for a second you deadlifted 635lbs after 1.5 years on a linear progression program

stop lying on the internet

>that room
i get anxious just looking at this photo

How tall are these guys?

>the "strongest" one locks his knees when holding weights

hope he enjoys wheelchairs at 30

Tfw I looked like I lifted before I started.

Autismo

>"squat dwarf"
