""""""beginner"""""" weightlifting program

For the millionth time, GOMAD is only for young male skellingtons (you must fulfill all three), and compounds are the most effective way of getting in progress driving volume for newbies.

>wanting to take advantage of the concept of "noob gains" by pounding compound lifts and caloric surplus
>>What the fuck was he thinking?
Look, another guy who didn't read the book

never done ss but gomad is awsome for skellies,even for intermediate lifters if you do your conditioning and cardio

What are you saying? You can kill yourself if you fuck up a bench press. You can fuck your back if you catback deadlift. Squats can destroy your back and knees if done incorrectly. These are some of the riskiest lifts. That said, he goes through excruciating detail of each, so it's really the lifter's fault if they screw up.

The real question is why is he so goddamn fat and where are the arm exercises?

...and I agree. Look at it from the perspective of a coach. You would want everything to be as simple and effective as possible. If you`re a fat fuck you don`t need GOMAD but its so common sense it hardly needs to be stated

It's more for high school athletes, when he wrote it weight training wasn't so common for office workers and weebs. High School football players have the athletic base and kinesthetic sense to not snap their shit up with a 175 lb squat. People who have never done a pushup jump right into a maximal strength routine and their weak, girly tendons can't handle a purposely extreme form of training because they have a training age of 0. There's a reason 15 yr old linemen can pull 405 in a few months when it takes an adult computer programmer at the same weight 2 years.

>The real question is why is he so goddamn fat and where are the arm exercises?

>you're only supposed to drink the milk if you're skinny as fuck.

Are you actually mentally retarded?

Why shouldn`t he be fat? Sure it lends credibility if he's yoked but the information he gives stands alone, you may just be used to guys with 8-packs writing programs because that's the fitness industry in a nutshell.

The arm exercises are over there... you know what to do
