If you’re natty all of the conventional bodybuilding wisdom belongs in the fricking trash. It makes me so mad when I think of all the people (myself included) who fell for the SS + Gomad meme, turned into fat fricks, then tried to cut, crashed their T, lost all their muscle, and ended up with the exact same skinny fat physique they started with
The cycle bodybuilders use is to get bulk up and get big & strong while in the natty phase, then start their steroid cycle & do an aggressive cut while they are except from all the normal rules regarding the delicate balance between food intake, hormones, and muscle mass.

most people try it, eat a frickton cause gotta eat big to get big, then either stop due to injury or lose interest
Have yall tried just switching to a bodybuilding routine after doing a powerlifting one? You won't die, I promise
>bodybuilding routine after doing a powerlifting one?
I did. Specced out of many powershitter excercises like deathlifts and squats, added bunch of accessory exercises and more volume in total. I love it. Dunno how I could ever do powershitting. I feel less fatigued on average, can do more workouts per week, get bigger and get less injuries.
Okay then what was the point of this thread? You basically created a blog post of how you tried one routine, didn't like it. Then tried another, liked it.
wasnt my thread. just saw your post and wanted to respond.
>SS + Gomad
Tbh you have to be like 85IQ to fall for that.
I refuse to believe anyone could ever think to drink one fricking gallon of milk a day, it's literally impossible
> Tbh you have to be like 85IQ to fall for that.
In this day and age yes, but oldgays remember that a decade ago that just the accepted wisdom for how you were supposed to put some meat on your bones. I think pic related did a lot to discredit it
It's a reverse bell curve thing. Low IQ people do it, midwit redditors hate it, and high IQ people do it.
SS + Gomad sounds like the stupidest fricking thing ever inveted, literally just some buzzwords that sound moronic and moron must have invented them regards 36years old IST user from the past
>conventional bodybuilding wisdom
The volume routines are roider routines. They only work on roiders
>SS + Gomad
SS is lacking in bicep and forearm work as well as other isolations which, depending on the person, may be necessary to stimulate growth in certain muscle groups. SS' focus on compounds and legs tends to neglect this. GOMAD is just a joke. Seriously drinking an additional 2000 calories per day is only going to make you fat.
>bulk up and get big & strong while in the natty phase
Bulking only works for roiders. There is no benefit to bulking that hard as a natty.
>start their steroid cycle & do an aggressive cut
Not necessary. Just don't get fat. Aggressive cuts are only necessary for roiders who are competing. .
The secret to growth is to train hard (to failure on every set), train heavy, give your muscle groups enough time to recover and grow from exercises, low to moderate volume (you can't train high volume and train hard at the same time), and to use progressive overload. It takes a while. But so what? Enjoy the process instead of trying to cope with roids. If you want fast results because you want to lift for attention of the opposite sex or social validation, you'll never get it because you don't have what it takes for those things in the first place.
Natties have to embrace the true bodybuilding methods and philosophies.
These bait posts keep getting worse. How the frick is SS conventional bodybuilding? Just how fricking moronic are you? And who told you to do GOMAD?
SS GOMAD was a meme for years, but some morons didnt understand it was a *meme*
Nothing matters. It's all about genetics and roid usage.
Picrel could be doing SS GOMAD, bro split, ppl, Arnold split, ulxul, full body.
Results would be the same because he's on the juice.
I fell for that shit years ago when i was naïve enough to think that bodybuilding books and guides were made by people who knew what they were talking about, i watched my friends take roids and get big and juicy while i was losing weight and not gaining any muscle then gaining fat and losing it, i did that for a year than i stopped bodybuilding all toghether because the only way for me to get to my friends level was to take steroids, again in my 20s i started body building again and at that time i discovered hypotrophy and how to handle wrights properly, i made big progress while getting skinny again, now in my 30s i can stay bellow 15% bf with good muscle definition year around, and by the way one of those friends died at 27 from heart failure the other got morbidly obese.
Ditch compounds they are really just accessory workout to up ur strength, imbrace isolation with machines, cable and dumbbells/cattlebell and cables, focus on eccentric and cocentric and full rom don't just throw the weight, focus more on or ur diet specifically macros make sure to eat some carbs before ur workout and protein rich meals after, 3-5 days a week max as a natty u need more intensity and more rest, it's really that simple
Post body
If you take the time to learn about what actually causes muscle growth, you'll realize why SS isn't that good.
