Who's getting /thicc/ here? Aren't you? Well, why not discuss thicc specific inspirations, routines, nutrition, etc.? Here's the place to do that!

Just, what, what, WHAT is THICC MODE? >Thicc mode is traditional male aesthetics. Thicc mode for Veeky Forums has been described as a body built from barbell strength training with accessories (texas method, candito 6 week, 28 free programs, 5/3/1), 13% to 17% bodyfat that has crossover to strength or contact sports ability. Twinks, ottermode, & contest ready bodybuilders are not thicc mode.
I hear that hammer curls are a superior bicep workout.
Abs are not quite my domain, however. Why not ask some of the fellas on the discord?
Dylan Long
Thanks, I will!
Nathan Carter
As regards abs? I meant biceps. I'm preparing for a Halloween party. Excuse me.
Xavier Green
for abs I do decline sit ups, hanging leg raises, and planks make sure to do squats and diddys too as they'll hit your abs and make your midsection more thicc
Isaac Foster
Dieting down to become a twink for a bit...someone please give appetite suppression advice
Mason Smith
THICC BOIS
Boogs is goal body.
Colton Brown
Thanks man, literally just did some hanging leg raises and I could really feel it
Blake Gomez
Squats and deadlifts for abs, and chinups for biceps.
John Martin
Drink lots of water
Grayson Jackson
Stop eating twinks for breakfast.
Jordan Parker
Brian Alsruhe of Neversate should definitely be added to the Youtube section of the pastebin. Dude has a thicc body, huge focus on compound movements, and is extremely positive and enthusiastic towards working hard in the gym. Also has great advice, especially for lifting.
Jaxson Jenkins
Any advice for accessoires for the madcow program? Also how do I avoid getting too a too thicc ass with all those squats. I'd rather go more in deadlift thy.
Holy moly, goes straight to my fap folder. No homo of course.
Easton Bell
how's my back THICCness dudes? I just do deads and lat pulldowns
Parker Rodriguez
This. Brian is GOAT

I don't know why this man isn't more famous. Has sound advice and a life full of experience and tips. His programs are also extremely well thought and carefully planned
Caleb Reed
How do I attain thicc mode with 6 inch wrists at 5'9? Is ottermode my only hope?

I'm planning to do my first pl meet in a few months. Current Wilks is 230 (don't laugh old) but it's increasing fast, about +7 per week. Theoretically I should be able to hit at least 335 Wilks even if the rate halves. We'll see. Anyway I'm doing Candito LP (pic) Questions 1 What would you put in the optional slots for upper or lower? Keep in mind, goal is to increase total and become /thicc/ 2 In my first week, I did farmers walks on lower days which are /thicc/ approved. Yesterday was my second week first lower body day. I was DEAD after deadlifts, and I didn't do any accessories. Should I push myself to do at least machine isolations or is it ok if I at least complete the reps in the main sets? 3 Is this normal? I pushed myself really hard on deadlifts and even did one more rep on the last set. When I set the bar down, there was a time about 10 seconds where my sense of balance, vision and hearing were REALLY distorted. I definitely remember the song slowing down in speed and pitch, the black floor became purple/green and rotated and I had to brace myself with my hands on my knees in order to not fall down. I am not shitposting, I swear. After recovering, I was spooked so I decided against doing accessories. And I was still stumbling a bit for the next few minutes when walking home. So yeah, question is "is this normal? Has it happened to you?' 4 I am about 93 kg at 1.81 (200 at 5.11 in freedom units) and I was told by peers that this is the best weight class for me. Should I bulk then cut or maintain?
Pls respond

1. The assistance movements are going to depend entirely on what you suck at. Can't really help without knowing more.
2. Do your assistance work whenever possible. It's not a big deal if it gets missed once in a while but you don't want to be making a habit of it.
3. That happens from time to time. Try to avoid it.
4. I wouldn't bother giving a shit about your weight class for the first meet. Train, get stronger and compete at whatever you weigh in. Longterm most guys that height are 105s (plus or minus a class) but it takes time to grow into that class.
David Robinson
whats some intermediate 3 day a week program upped body focused mostly I did sl5x5 and something else like 2 years ago and im still a trex upper body is dyel mode
Isaiah Turner
>1. The assistance movements are going to depend entirely on what you suck at. I suck at everything and I don't look like I lift. If I had to pinpoint a weak point I guess it would be core. That's why I'm doing farmer's walks. I also suck at the bottom of the squat. That's why I do pause squats. >2. Do your assistance work whenever possible. It's not a big deal if it gets missed once in a while but you don't want to be making a habit of it. Yeah thought so >3. Try to avoid it. How? I didn't choose to nearly black out >4. I wouldn't bother giving a shit about your weight class for the first meet. Train, get stronger and compete at whatever you weigh in.

Unrelated 5. Is Justin Lascek (the guy pointing at the camera while holding a doggo) natty?
Jonathan Wright
If you're having issues with the overall workload to start with, I'd suggest that the optional exercises be 1 lighter compound and 1 isolation.
So to spitball:
Mon Leg extensions (leg press if you feel up to it or leg extensions kill your knees) Snatch-grip RDLs (only if you have straps, regular otherwise)
Tues DB bench Curls
Thurs Front squats (if you struggle with them, highbar) Leg curls
Fri Dips (assisted if necessary) Hammer curls
If you find you're recovering fine off that workload, you can up it to two lighter compounds and stop really counting the assistance work. I'll be honest, I barely program isolations beyond 'do some sets of high reps at the end'.
Luke Jones
great. love handles cover the lats a bit but who cares
Jeremiah Lee
do not do many isolation optionals, just focus on compounds if you are "generally weak". neither should you stray too far from the main lifts, however, to get thicc or better at PL.
for example, farmers walks won't get you a better PL total, neither by improving core, grip or anything else. if you want stronger core in a way its applicable to squats and deads, do more squats and deads. farmer walks simply aren't specific enough.
on heavy lower days, do 1 optional: 303 tempo squat. this can correct your tightness issues. on control lowers, you don't need to do jack shit. on upper days: use optionals as "back off" sets. what do you want to improve? you want better delts? after 1x10 shoulder exercise, do 3x8 at 2-4% less load. or do the same for your upper back exercise.
ALTERNATIVELY, this optional can be a variation of the main lift. (after 4x6 bench press, 3 sets of touch-and-go, close-grip, 2-ct pause, or 3-ct pause, etc., bench press are doable.)
Colton Murphy
also, >5. Is Justin Lascek (the guy pointing at the camera while holding a doggo) natty? most likely.
