*Unaesthetic Crew* Disregard V-Taper, Acquire PRs Thread

[BunkMoreland]

but now in this thread the aesthetic peeps are all butthurt

yea they are. i guess *******s really are sensitive

[phal]

What did he see... I really have no idear.

Wait was it the fact he considerd a 8rm on dl a pr?

If he can really full squat 365 for 6 I'd imagine a much higher deadlift.

Unless of course, he is 1/2 squatting.

[necon76]

Seed planter up in this b!tch!


My philosophy is that you can be 'aesthetic' (oh fuk I hate that term), but the pr's take full priority over everything else. Be they for weight, reps, or any other way you can set them.

[Ion26]

I'm in.

EDIT: No PRs at the moment, except bench 225x1

[midcoastking33]

I have the dreaded x taper, no v in this future

[Lvisaa2]

edit: This thread is kind of funny. Fatties (aka anyone over 12%/20% bf by bb.com standards) get insulted all the time on this site for not being "aesthetic" but now in this thread the aesthetic peeps are all butthurt

I'm pretty sure people aren't insulted for being over 12% in this subsection. Let's be honest, this place is a mini-PLing section.

Squat higher than DL = Sure sign of a half squatter.

[mattypoole]

Non aesthetic checking in here.

I am cutting but not at the expense of strength.

It'd defeat the purpose of lifting for me if I were to lose strength just to cut.

[illiniStrive]

I'm sure we'd like to think it is lol. But let's be reality...

Calling BS on some of peeps ITT tho. Can't us unaesthetic folks have one thing to ourselves?

I sorta like being a miniature PL'er



I don't think anyone is "butt hurt" but I thought it was funny that the fellas with the best bodies (no homo... We still have to do that?) were questioning the crew . Just kinda funny

Pretty sure that you're the antithesis of what this crew is about.


(Not hatin, jus saiyan).

you're in rare form tonight. i wanna rep you twice

Reality is that most in this forum are weak *******s compared to the PL section(myself included).

And you assume people consider themselves 'aesthetic'. Personally, I always, always, always wanna be bigger and leaner. And I thought this thread was just about training for PRs and not actually aesthetics?

Btw, I am just discussing, because I'm bored and not butthurt(aside from a tight piriformis)

[HunterCML]

This.

I squatted 275x5 my first month of doing squats. I thought I was a genetic freak.







































until I realized I had a 5" ROM

[ErickStevens]

Reality is that all of us in this forum are weak *******s compared to the PL section(myself included).

Fixed. Check out the log section and be prepared to feel like you don't even lift.

(Not hatin, jus saiyan).

Well there never was a requirement for how high a PR needs to be. I'm still cutting to my goal of 6% nevertheless...

Well your sig is the opposite of what's going on here though, isn't it?

[t12jm]

I'm assuming membership on the basis of my skin complexion alone. But I still like dem PR's

[Ion26]

Sh!t...I'll admit you got me on that one...forgot that was still in my sig...

Wait, really? Are you converting?

[joelash302]

Fixed. Check out the log section and be prepared to feel like you don't even lift.

Hence why I call nutmisc a mini pl section. Same goals (lately at least seems to be), half the strength.

That about sums me up.

[psychodiver9]

1000lb total @ 215 (lol).

I'd take this at 204 right now.

[MiscDemeanor]

Calling BS on some of peeps ITT tho

Agreed

[SoulZeppelin]

In on this krew. Definitely more interested in strength - if aesthetics occur or not I don't really care about this one.

I'd take this at 204 right now.

Basically my goal right now too. I think if I fix my bench the 1000 is well within my grasp this year, and I doubt I'll pass 204 for a while (though I don't really care... But I'm still a recovering fatty lol)

Edit: and I'm definitely one of the mini plers... Same goals, (less than?) half the strength lol.

Nah, from the title of the thread I assumed it was more of a "70s big" sort of meaning. So being lean (within reasonable limits) doesn't really factor into the equation. >> http://www.70sbig.com/about/

70’s Big is synonymous with being strong. It can also be considered the quest of attaining strength and subsequently muscular body weight. The best way to obtain strength is through barbell training, and barbell training means squatting, pressing, deadlifting, cleaning, jerking, and snatching. Period.

There are plenty of people who make it a priority to look like they are strong when they actually aren’t. This would be training for the sake of aesthetics, and the type of training that meets such goals has no part in a strength program. The difference between a physique that has been developed through strength training is very different than one that has been created with vanity in mind.

I wuv that site, so so much.

[sawoobley]

This ^^^ and current minimum lifts are not a requirement just an general upward trend. This thread is for those who value strength more than aesthetics as their primary goal, but who won't complain if they end up aesthetic, as long as they are not compromising their strength whilst getting leaner. No ****gy time "I lost 20 lbs off my squat but I am rocking an adonis belt" *******s allowed.

I should be your leader since I've been unaesthetic the longest and I am in an upward trend.

Huh? Can someone explain this?

[prolvr]

Thus, the mission statement of 70’s Big is multi-faceted and ever evolving. We aim to:







•
Improve strength through barbell training while eating adequate amounts of food

•
Become big by being strong as opposed to aesthetic focused exercise

•
Begin a movement against the prevailing wisdom that “looking good” means being emaciated, gaunt, and undernourished (male or female)

•
Be humble about our own gains of strength while encouraging and teaching others to improve theirs

•
Honor the lifters of the past who inspire us to become 70’s Big

•Test ourselves in competition while encouraging others to take the chance on competing

•Teach fundamentals of strength and conditioning and help athletes or non-athletes implement it into their training
•Help push the campaign that strength training makes women healthy and beautiful
•Establish the importance of strength training in an exercise, health, or fitness program

Through strength training...



No need to post another picture, I think you'll get the point.
