Every beginner thread at this point

[TAWS6]

We need a safe place to send beginners who don’t want to enter reality.

Welcome to that safe place. Welcome beginner experts. See below.

1. You know more than the experts after watching Greg Douchette and Athlean X YouTube videos.

2. Your current training plan is awesome and we will not change your mind because “it works for me”

3. You don’t need to train your legs.

4. Keep doing endless sets with 135 lbs. When it doubt add more volume. You definitely need that entire day for arms.

5. You can eat at maintenance forever.

Everyone who is telling you to do a full body routine 3 days a week, or upper lower routine 4 days a week just aren't as motivated as you.
6 day Push Pull Legs is definitely the way to go.
And yes, you do need 3 different bicep curl variations, minimum.

[TolerantLactose]

I'm up to 155lbs on my deadlifts so boo on you.

[TAWS6]

I’m on year 15 of working out and bench 185. How did my buddy bench 225 after 4 months?? Damn these poverty genetics.

[paulinkansas]

You can skip leg day and back day. Just do chest and biceps.

There's no point in trying to follow a novice program as written. Everyone is a special flower and should avoid doing any movement thst doesn't appeal to them.

Dude I’ve been “working out” for 20 years I ain’t no novice. I need to trick my muscles into confusion.

I hear you. The best way to do this is to spend countless hours researching and arguing that you know better than experienced lifters to the point where your muscles are confused about whether they will ever begin (or resume) training at all.

LOL!

Is this the thread that will make my muscles grow?

[TAWS6]

Unlikely. The only way to grow is push pull legs 6 days per week twice a day baby !

I’ve been lifting on and off for the last 15 years, so I’m not a novice by any means. I’m very experienced in proper form, programming, intensity and nutrition. The only thing I lack is consistency and results.

[paulinkansas]

I'm a strict vegetarian and have been running my own program for the last 12 months. I still look like the emaciated pussies in The GAP advertisements. What can I do?

[TAWS6]

Hey guise can you critique my program??

Chest- bench, incline press, decline press, fly, machine press, push ups

Back- db row, barbell row, pull down, pull up, assisted pull ups, t bar rows

Shoulders- military press, Arnold press, front raise, lateral raise

Arms- db curl, bb curl, machine curl, incline curl, hammer curl, press down, rope press down, skull crushers, machine overhead extension

Legs- I naturally have big legs


I get really sore so I know it’s good

Bumping due to recent events

Bumping due to recent events

I paid a trainer for a program.

12 sets of chest.
12 sets of shoulders.
6 sets of back.
9 sets of arms.

Is anything wrong with this program?

[TAWS6]

I do what Arnold did because he’s bigger than you

[radrd]

I'm doing an advanced program, but I'm not having any symptoms of over training, so clearly I can handle it, and I'm going to progress faster than if I was doing a novice program designed for my level of experience.

[Gandog]

LOL...
I only fixed the boxing bag fixture today because I bent one and broke a carabiner holding it to the roof. My range of motion sux with some exercises.. Because im twice the size of you hehehe..
Food wise a cheat day, crispy skin baked potatoes, sour cream, bacon bits, jalapenos, grated cheese and topped with Tobasco sauce. Unhealthy? tell that to all the beers in front me hehe..
2-3 days off, back to it... You can't leg press 550Kgs, watch me after a few days resting I rep it...

Bump for all you forever beginners.

Can I substitute TTT instead of Bump? I don't do bumps.

[radrd]

I'm obese and looking for a program to help me gain size.

Keep bulking bro. You weigh the same as Arnold in his prime and it’s all muscle bro.

[paulinkansas]

Bump for all you forever beginners.

What is the beginner exercise is called The Bump. I know how to hump, take a dump, jump, lump, my cousin had mumps, I can feel a pump, my wife has a nice rump, etc.

[radrd]

I got really jacked in prison doing calisthenics but I can't remember a single thing that I did, so will you please design a calisthenics program for me?

[TAWS6]

My friend does a bro split and he’s big

[TolerantLactose]

I've been squatting for almost every week since Nov. and I can't get above 135lb. Do I have bad genetics?

[TAWS6]

I need a special program because progressive tension overload doesn’t apply to me. My trainer and mommy tell me I’m special.
