In his case it's just a gimmick to get viewers imo
But yeah I've seen quite a few people in my gym who squat 3pl8 but can barely bench 185lbs
Maybe the decade old "never skip leg day" memes got to them
I think some of it is personal strengths, my squat and bench went up at the same rate almost and I could squat 315 for a 1RM at the same time I could bench 275 for a1RM. bench and OHP have always been easier for me, but I’m a bit of a lanklet so I think that may account for it
how should a 3 year back look? looks fine to me tbh. no doubt someone could have better back but i dont see what makes this so bad. he is just really fat
You make 80% of your gains in 1st year, congrats, you'll now look back at your own gains in 5 years time and wonder why the frick you made barely any progress since the 1st year, and your mental illness will begin
I wish I was memeing you, maybe im exaggerating a little bit, but not really.
Been lifting since 2012, made 99% of the gains I have right now in 2012-2015, last 7 years has been basically spinning wheels
It was like 70% 1st year, 25% 2nd year, 5% 3d year.

Here's where I'm gonna really bake your noodle. Most of your gains didn't come from getting stronger at all but rather your technical ability to recruit the right muscle fibers for the right movement. I.e. you got better at squatting because you're more comfortable with that movement. Haha. Enjoy.

Redpilled response. People like the anon you quoted need to BUILD MUSCLE. There's only so many fibers you have available until you can't recruit anymore.

Lol you people are delusional. 70% of your gains did not come from the first year. Natties gain at the pace of a snail, even with “noob gains” or whatever.
Assuming you bench 3 plates right now, are you unironically saying you got up to over a 2 plate bench in 12 months then managed to add 1 more plate in the next 5 years? Are you moronic or what?

Not OP but I've been lifting 5-6 months now, went from about 100lbs bench for reps to about 255lbs now in that time. I seriously doubt I will ever hit more than 3.5-4pl8 even if I keep lifting for 10 years, so yeah.
I doubt its true... Maybe if you have everything optimized but who does in their first year of lifting? I for one made less gains in first year of lifting than second and even 3rd year
>I for one made less gains in first year of lifting than second and even 3rd year
That makes absolutely zero sense unless you spent the first 2 years never eating anything.
If you have a calorie surplus going you'll make 80% of your gains in the first year that you'll ever make naturally

well thats exactly what it was(in my case because no money not because i didnt know about bulking)... and youre right but would most people who start gym actually put effort in eating alot? You probably actually did hence the huge gains in the first year of lifting but most people would probably start casually lifting when their friends invite them or whatever and only later start researching how to do thing correctly

Well for me, i already lifted when I was 16-18, then I quit
I started again at 25 and did everything correctly from day 1, and yes, made 80% of my gains in the first year or so.
Just watched a few minutes, he's coping hard about the fact he has a mediocre physique despite being decently strong in the lifts he trains
It's the SS syndrome
>lighting enhancement and angle-frauding backlet cope
sure, homosexual, it enhances it, but if you apply identical lighting/anglefrauding to different back sizes, the one that's defined/bigger will always excel and appear even more defined/bigger overall
Is my back big bros? It’s my weak genetic point. I have two back days per week I do everything. Body eight pull ups, machine rows, Dumbell rows. Lat pull downs. Genes are genes I guess
'mirin width hard
even if you're a compliment-fishing homosexual aware of its size, it's still worthy to say it
Compliments on IST? I struggle a lot to grow it. My traps are non existent. Also I can’t pass more tha 5 pull ups with a plate. This is also 2019 for reference. I don’t know if there is something I didn’t try. Maybe I should cut?
>lats have grown a bit >a way more developed upper back(teres major, mid-traps, rhomboids) >upper traps are indeed lacking from what I can see >slight lower development
you've improved immensely homosexual
although, post-back routine
>powersharter discovers the dissonances between the state of not being forced to compulsively impress and hyper-competitive narcissistic social media platforms(he wouldn't have addressed it if his physique was capable of impressing)
Does this guy squat everyday? What is he at? What are his goals?
For 1110 days if he added 1kg every week he would have a squat nobody could sneeze at to say the least.
The guy with autism seems like the guy that 'squats everyday' and you.
I don't know much about weightlifting but he it seems like he would need to keep his lifts very 'sub maximal' to go everyday.
Why squat so much instead of having a balanced split between pushing and pulling movements?
Squat and Deadlift autism is an epidemic
So true. There isn't even any good reason for it.
t. Squatist
watch out homies, i'm contagious
Yeah the short bus lifts.

bench is harder when you're lanky, don't know about OHP but probably the same thing
it's disadvantageous for all pushing movements, the fricking dwarfs like to boast about it all the time
>i like big butts and i cant lie
my butt is bigger despite dropping squats and doing hack squats and rdls 1-2 times/week
That’s a shit back for 3 years of lifting I’m not even being demotivationak
He’s been lifting for like 15 years
how should a 3 year back look? looks fine to me tbh. no doubt someone could have better back but i dont see what makes this so bad. he is just really fat
>he is just really fat
I mog him and I’ve lifted 1 year total but only half of that consistent
Bodyweight pull-ups will get you a better back than his in a year.
You make 80% of your gains in 1st year, congrats, you'll now look back at your own gains in 5 years time and wonder why the frick you made barely any progress since the 1st year, and your mental illness will begin
Please be full of shit. I'm a little over 1 year into lifting and stalling hard

It could just be the lighting/angle but he has okay upper traps but not really any development in his middle back or lats
More like a woman, less five o’clock shadow, after three years your “back” should be less noticeable.
Just watched a few minutes, he's coping hard about the fact he has a mediocre physique despite being decently strong in the lifts he trains
It's the SS syndrome
You don't need to keep posting here to up views, Ivan
"everyday" is an adjective; he means "every day".

You got good width you just need to focus on upper back thickness and you're perfect
>powersharter discovers the dissonances between the state of not being forced to compulsively impress and hyper-competitive narcissistic social media platforms(he wouldn't have addressed it if his physique was capable of impressing)
I would too if I looked THAT bad after a decade of lifting
is this homosexual a less delusional variant of Copeason Bloathino?
>le Ivan Djuric
He wants to do bodybuilding but can’t admit it because he is indoctrinated by powershitters.
Many such cases. God bless I left this behind
Finally, y’all turned against this homie instead of coping alongside with him.
>BUT NOOOOOOOOO HE SQUATS EVERYDAY BECAUSE HE JUST LIKES IT
kek
Literally
>5x5 for compounds
>3x10 for isolations
Post body I bet you don't even lift homosexual
Does anyone here lift?
why are you obsessed with some random dude?
it's not THAT bad
This is around a year of consistent lifting. How am I doing?
better than the OP picture for sure
Thanks bro
i think thats pretty nice back
switch to low bar and it would be absolutely jacked

you posted that, fully knowing your own autism, to bump the the thread ivan. kys
