QTDDTOT

Any pain felt around the hip (in your case it's the hip abductors) is almost always caused by lack of mobility. Number 1 thing you need to do to, especially when squatting heavy, is stay mobile.

If the problem is specifically for bench, try using DBs. If you are adamant about barbell benching, you need to adjust your form. If you are going full ROM, with correct form, and using a spotter so you can bench til failure, chest DOMS should be prevalent.

I know its a common thing for SS + GOMAD people to just become even worse looking but I feel like even after progressing a lot through The Bridge (Barbell Medicine) the only noticeable thing that's happened is my love handles are slightly bigger.

6'0", 212lbs only seriously lifting ~3 months.

Before program I was 205 bench, 305 squat, 315 deadlift, maybe 95 OHP

Now I'm 245 bench, 365 squat, 365x2 deadlift and 155 OHP.

Will I not notice more considerable thickness until 2/3/4/5??

Yeah I've used DB bench, but I've never felt anything really when doing them either, even when approaching failure. When benching I feel like my form is decent, elbows not flared, shoulders pushed pack and scapulas pushed down, chest pushed up etc but nothing. I only ever seem to get DOMS wtih leg exercises

It's not a meme. Splits allow long stretches without rest days and you might be fine, but you would probably benefit.

If you're brand new you probably don't need one yet, but if you've been lifting for a while 6day/wk just wont do it unless you eat and sleep a fuck ton.

I'm in the same boat as (you) OP, except I prioritize necessary bodily functions like eating food regularly above all else, eat in class, eat a little between classes, drink a shake or something, but you need to not go long periods without food.

Legs have painful DOMS because they're the largest muscle group you work. Give it time, sounds like you just started out.. DOMS will get way worse

You're just gunna have to suffer through. Eat a huge breakfast of things like steel cut oats with peanut butter, drink a shake before bed.

Oh god, I just saw a fitness thread on /v/. The amount of meme science they spout mirrors tumblr level of faggotry.

I've been going since late july last year, I had it back then but not now anymore
