      why is his squat and deadlift so low then

      Terrible gains for a turbo manlet. He's lifting on easy mode and can't get shredded.

      because he's been doing it for a few months years ago, then stopped and has been doing it again only for a few months but inconsistently

      also, iirc, he has turbo low test, but not too many downsides of low test (aside from turbo slow gains), so he's not gonna go TRT (which is good imho)

      >he has turbo low test
      no way

      I'll say it, he got fat

      he has a 308 ml test

        Probably bad genetics, inconsistency, and bad diet, but at the same time, there's a limit to how quickly you can progress without turbodirtybulking/GOMAD, and this guy's already gotten noticeably fatter in his before/after.

      I remember when I first got into lifting, I watched AthleanX vids almost religously, and know I know that guy is a total hack. It's a mistake most of us make along the way

          This is unironically the mindset of 90%+ guys you see in the gym that look like absolute shit and make zero progress after years of dicking around doing fluff """routines""" with zero intensity.

          Meanwhile, every single person I've ever seen in my entire life doing anything close to 1/2/3/4 (virtually always obtained through a beginner strength-focused program) in person looks decent and strong. Maybe not fitness model tier, but at least you can plainly see that they lift.
          I can't tell you how many DYEL guys I've seen in the past month doing 15lb curls. Liike really dude? You have zero muscle on your body, you look like ass and you want to stand around doing curls for 20 minutes? I do curls, I like them, but I also have a decent 3/5/5 strength base so I do the curls with 40lb dumbells.after I've done compounds. That's the problem with people who try to jump right into brosplitting without any strength. Their "routines" end up being all garnish (machine iso, pathetic dumbbell 3x10s where you can tell they're just sandbagging etc) with no real entree lifts because they don't know how to perform heavy lifts and don't even have an understanding of what working hard actually feels like. Bodybuilding routines work really well for advanced roid monsters who push themselves with psycho intensity for hours on big boy plate loaded Hammer Strength machines that you find in warehouse gyms. They don't work well for the inexperiencced natty in an Anytime Fitness who cant even squat or bench 2 plates for one rep just milling around doing machine curl and seated cable row with pussy weight thinking that they're doing something. That dude would be 100% better off running Starting Strength or another beginner program and then at least a cycle or two of some intermediate strength program so he can actually learn some basic shit and not be completely structurely weak. Then he can run his brosplit or whatever and maybe make some real gains.

            It's called a drop set, genius.
            You start with a heavier weight, e.g., 3*15 with 30lb or 35lb dumbbells, then after the last set, drop down to 25 or 20, then 15.

          It's because SS got memed into being an aesthetics routine. It's literally everywhere that Starting Strength was made by Rip as a strength routine for his FOOTBALL players. As in, it was intended for functional, athletic performance...not for aesthetics. That's even why power cleans are in the routine; doing power cleans for looking good is fricking stupid, but it's a god tier exercise for generating explosiveness for sports.

            Rippetoe double-talks by dismissing asthetics at times, while other times arguing that his style of training produces asthetic results: for example, here's him arguing ab isolation exercises are unnecessary:
            https://startingstrength.com/article/abs
            He also added chin ups and pull ups to SS, after previously saying either they were ineffective, or effective enough that they cut into your OHP recovery/progression, and either way weren't worth doing.
            I think he also added them because of complaints about upper body neglect, and also so Rippetards could respond with:
            >pull ups and chin ups ARE IN THE PROGRAM!
            whenever people bring them up as SS shortcomings, despite the reality that if you do SS with a single-minded focus of adding weight to the bar each session and eat in a big enough surplus, you won't able to do chin ups, let alone pull ups, because you'll be fat.

          SS is for absolute beginners who don't even really know yet how to perform the big compound movements. Maybe 2 isolations added to it at the end.

          They follow this for 3-6 months maximum to learn the compound movements and build the beginner strength and then they should do another split with more isolations

      Is he actually intelligent though? I do not understand how a rational human being would be content with this level of (non)progress. I don't follow streamers/e-grifters so I don't get it. Wikipedia says he is a "streamer/plitical commentator," but he is a college dropout that quit his carpet cleaning job to stream videogames. Seems like another low IQ entertainer to me but perhaps I am missing something. Since Destiny is probably the guy that started this thread and is reading every response, I can only recommend that he take that youtube money and hire a pro to train him, hop on TRT, and ditch the fugly GF. Rich people have no excuse for looking like shit.
