Nearly 1000lbs total and still dont look like i lift.

[TheCanDan]

What the heck misc? I realize i'm training for strength but i thought i would at least look somewhat like i lift at this point. My avi isn't even realistic, that's probably the best picture i've ever taken.


Not like these other *******s on here who say they look like they don't even lift when they clearly look like they lift. I srsly look worse than a skinny-fat non lifter. I just wanna hit 2/3/4 and get off ICF 5x5 so i can start a high volume bro split and get swole.



Need motivation brahs

[drove12hours]

You already know the answer...

Eat more, get on a proper routine. PPLA (Push, Pull, Legs, Accessories). Reps in the 6-10 ranges, around 4 sets.

[syth1230]

your avi looks like you lift.

Wear fitted clothes and profit srs

[Eskimo]

You look like you lift brah.

You just need more size, time to bulk.

[WeDontLoveHoes]

Hop off that no gains ICF 5x5.
Start looking into a PPL split.

This.

You're a little underweight to look like you lift in street clothes, unless you go team Under Armour on everybody and nobody wants to be that guy.

[dickbutt]

you're a natty manmedium, what do you expect

[Koval661]

It's okay brah. I barely look like I lift, only when I wear an M that hugs my chest and back very well, arms look somewhat like I lift. Still feels like chit as I'm not even shredded yet. Prolly won't look like I lift after I finish cutting. I'm about 950 though, not quite 1000 club yet, can prolly hit it if I start real strength work after I finish cut.

Idk how to post pics on mobile.



Thx brahs, it just sucks being called scrawny by people when you've been lifting hard for 6 months and are making incredible strength gains. Will feel like a loser if i quit 5x5 before i hit 2/3/4 because i'm so close.



I think i might though.

[Tamarisky]

Never did a strength program in my life crew, making all kinds of gains..all kinds.

[naich]

try something new, 1000 pound total means you have a good base, now work off of it. Do more isolation movements. Don't be afraid to do 10 sets of arms, or reps in the 20 range. Just cause some unimpressive mouth breathing brit says to doesn't mean you have to.

You're not going to look like The Rock in 6 months, switch to some 8-12 rep stuff for dat dere hypertrophy tho.

[oskarhul09]

dont understand the logic of "strength base" before you start hypertrophy training. Most retardedest ripplytoads esquie BS ever.

wear fitted clothes; and by fitted clothes i dont mean v-necks that show an outline of your nipples and half your chest. I mean clothes which give a silhouette of your body.

[Yettie24]

I'm at 1,210lb overall bro. I do a 6 week split. 8-10 reps and if I hit that 8-10 reps I add 5 pounds for the next set. The last set for that exercise is till failure. Then after that 6 weeks I do 2 weeks of 6-8 reps heavy weight. Works for me.

[Negligence]

You look pretty good man. Time to focus more on size than on totals?

Nobody in the real world is going to ask how much you squat, deadlift, or what your total is, but at least you have a respectable bench so you can answer 'how much ya bench?' and look like you lift.

[JustCurling]

your avi looks like you lift.

This.



Works every time.

[getTONKS]

why not carry on with icf, get to 1000 club and at the same time at the end of each set do like a burn out 20 rep set of ehatever your doing, garenteed hypertrophy, strength gain will be slightly slower

[bigdeadlift]

1000lb total is supposed to be impressive? that's not much man. work on getting your total up.

[Muzzlrpress]

As others have said, fitted clothes will make you look awesome when surrounded by normal people.

Also you're judging yourself by misc standards and it's warping your reality.

If you feel a muscle is lagging, hit it with accessories. Not many strength oriented people do low rep compounds only.

[Akebane710]

OP you forgot to stop listening to the internet doing all these heavy free weight compounds (which certainly have their place) and train for contractions and hypertrophy on much more beneficial lifts

[Torcida1911]

Wear tighter shirts. Dont go full homo with it though.

[krush58]

judging by your avi it looks like you lift. Wearing tighter clothing and it makes you look bigger.

If your sig is correct, you have a total of 795. That is pretty far from 1000.

Get your total to 1000, and your problem will be solved.

go away you old man, theres nothing wrong with clothes that look good. No one here is telling OP to go jersey shore mode.

[Muzzlrpress]

All this total talk makes me feel weird
