7 weeks ago I woke up and decided I wanted to stop being a fat ass. Found Rippetoe's from you guys. It's amazing.
I'm 5'11 and Started at 220, now I'm 224.
The elliptical machine is the most addicting thing I've ever done in my life.

Thank you. It's the progress that's keeping me going. At first it was the thought of the end game in my head.
Confidence has increased in me, and I'm thinking I'm getting slightly more female attention at work.
Anyways guys. Being 220 lbs and going to the gym for the 1st time is kind of scary. And then looking like a bitch using hardly 1/3rd your body weight. But I wrote everything down at first to keep track now it's easily in my head.
I'm new so correct me if im wrong but I'm assuming "gains" are how much weight increase i've gained since I started lifting. But I subbed Pendilay Rows for power cleans(I'm working on form)
Squat 85 >>> 125
bench 95 >>> 135
deadl 145 >>> 195
SMP 45 >> 65
Pen Row 65 >> 90
last note. I started taking a progress picture of myself every week to keep myself motivated. after a year I want to make a video just to compile it and hopefully inspire people as much as it is keeping me motivated to see my body transform
Luis Hernandez
you're autistic. But No I've actually gained 4 pounds in 7 weeks. I'm not worried about the weight loss. I want to get fucking jacked bro
Owen Jackson
also , all reps in Rippetoes are 3 sets of 5
Jayden Morgan
yes t. retarded
Zachary Sanders
>be fat >do SS >get fatter
Checks out.
Jackson Butler
Fucking retard , you should cut first dumbass KYS
Leo Hernandez
You shouldn't have shaved the stache
Connor Jackson
Genuine question here for some of you fitizens. What is it about SS that causes weight gain, and is it unique to the program? I was losing weight before I started it, and once I did, despite eating the same calories, I started stalling and even gaining weight.
Michael Thomas
nothing about SS causes weight gain
if you are a sedentary numale, lifting weights will cause a rapid increase in glycogen in the first few weeks that will make your scale weight jump up a little bit absolutely sickening progression keep us posted
Julian Bennett
>wants to get in better shape >goes from 220 to 224 >seems happy about it
Huh?
Carson Jackson
Rippetoe advocates against cutting. He wants lifters to be kind of fat
Aiden Torres
Rippetoe says it's easier and much quicker to build muscle first and then cut the fat, rather than cut and then build muscle. Not a huge Rip fan but I think he's correct.
Jose Gonzalez
is this a /bait/ thread? If not, OP, whatever you're doing is not working. Seriously.. wtf.
