[railed]

holy perfect physique and lifts.

best program youve run for bumping up squats?

[NaturalFTW]

Why is it that people always say they are pro-gear but then when a fellow misc brah posts ppl start hating on him for using gear? OP you have a great physique. Mirin keep it up

[invain]

mirin, I am starting a strength building program tommorow called Strong lifts 5x5, do you recommend it if building strength is my goal?

No. If you are trying to build strength a 5x5 routine is far from optimal.

[TreFo]

OP, u ever ran Smolov, Sheiko, or any other Russian routines? Gains from them? How bout Westside?

Squatting. I've always written my own routine. I make the most progress with my squats when I am squatting heaviest the most often. It's literally as simple as that.

Mirin size, numbers, but don't try to claim natural status.

No. I've been interested in Smolov but never really had the need. I also have a feeling it would wear my out too much to train my other lifts. My training is somewhat similar to Westside I'd say.

To the guy that negged me: I only compete in untested Feds so I guess I don't understand how I'm cheating.

Some of you are even denser than I thought.

what routines are optimal for strength then?

[sixstarchlo]

[invain]

what routines are optimal for strength then?

Higher intensity, lower volume on the main compound movements. Accessory work focusing on weak points. If you want to gain strength you have to use max effort and move heavy weight, that's really all there is to it. Doing 5 sets of 12 reps isn't doing **** for your top end strength. The typical target is 2 to 3 sets using 90% of your 1 RM.

Do people that don't lift believe you when you tell them how much you bench or squat?

and then you show them proof with vids and they're shocked

[SycoDan]

Mirin cuz, keep hustlin'!

I think most guys are skeptical when I tell them my bench. Most people that don't train can't even really comprehend what a 650+ deadlift is or a 600 pound squat. To them it sounds like a billion pounds.

Lol yeah pretty much a 90% chance they'll ask you what your bench is

[Brosynthesis]

repped! lol thought you were gonna post this:



I powerlift often (not on a regular, but I make sure to do it twice a week at most) and it gave me traps of peace and I've been able to build muscle faster than following a normal bbing routine.

Sorry if I'm wrong on this, but isn't a 5x5 program for a beginner still a solid idea for a beginner, you've been training for 7 years. Wouldn't the idea of using 90% of your 1 RM be a little rough for someone starting out?

For that bolded part, how many reps?

Great physique too mang, repped.

If you are completely new to training then yes I'd probably have you on a slightly lower intensity program for the first few months.

Reps can be anywhere form 1 - 5. The key is variance. I lift heavy every week but that does't mean I go in and do a 1 rep max every workout.

[MrDeafMuscle]

LOL at some guys in here.

It depends on the lifter....some do not give a chit about aesthetics because they know more food will make them lift more in addition to other stuff.

Some just have high metabolism.

Some just decide to stay in certain weight class........

You shouldn't assume things

Will rep you when off r/c for being honest.

with that said, how do you feel about 5/3/1, or Ed Coan's program if you're familiar with any of them? could you recommend any PL routines?

5/3/1 isn't bad for a beginner template, if I HAD to suggest 1 program to somebody really new to lifting, that's probably what it would be. I haven't really looked into any of Coan's programs but it's pretty obvious he knew what he was doing, lol. My best suggestion is to go read some pro level lifters journals. Westside is very popular, but in the end everybody trains slightly differently.

Yeah currently remodeling a new house so **** is torn apart.
