    Start lifting since your first year of uni, don’t leave Waterloo to go to stay with your smelly brother in Toronto during breaks(has no food in his fridge), do isolations from day one, learn proper form on bench and OHP, buy a program when you become an intermediate lifter

    Don't waste time doing any strength or powershitter related routines if you goal is to LOOK GOOD. Go right to a simple proven to work bodybuilding routine such as PPL or a brosplit.

    Don't OHP at the moment, 2 plate bench, about to test my squat and deadlift but I'll probably get 3 and get within 20 pounds of 4. Another training block or two and I hope to have a total over 1000.

      Why don't you buy some more fricking weights?

      For me I started last July at 6'4 180. I'm at 215 now and close grip bench bodyweight for a few, press 140x5, squat 285x5 and deadlift 405x5
      After seeing that Rippetoe video where he said I should weigh 300 I'm going to bulk hard very soon to at least 250

    your diet is important, eat right get protein in everyday its so important more than anything else make sure you eat
    Also get on Arnold Program and lift heavier, track your lifts, consistency beats intensity. Don't stop no breaks don't quit

    Currently at 115 OHP/185 BP/225 Squatz/260 diddlies (yes I know this is shit, I'm debating dropping this meme exercise). All are for 5 reps tho. I don't train 1RM
    >how long been consistently working out in total
    About 9/10 months now. I feel these are shit compared to what I should be at and how much I'm literally gasping for air on the floor at the gym pushing myself.
    >weight and height

    >one advice you wanna give to your past self when just starting out

    Bulking is a meme. Deadlifts are also a meme powershitter exercise. Sets of 8-12 are better than sets of 5, aka hypertrophy frickboy bodybuilding programs > powershitter routines. Actually train cardio

      You are weak and don't know anything and aren't entitled to an opinion. At least get your DL above 3 plates before you decide you know the score

      Also fell for bulking. I have had to lose a ton of weight over the last 3 months as I get back into it.

      To gain muscle you usually need more protein, but not necessarily more calories. I have been in a deficit the last few months but have gained a significant and noticeable amount of muscle.

    Plateaued at 1/1.9/3/3.5 after a year of training at 155 lbs bodyweight. 4 years later I'm 1.1/2/3.2/3.9 at 170 lbs bodyweight, but my kickboxing is leagues better than it ever was and I'm zercher squatting 155 for sets of 20, doing one handed knuckle pushups for sets of 20, doing weighted chinups with 60 lbs attached, stiff legged deadlifting 185 for 15, and a few other things I could never do a few years ago. Progress is sporadic but it's happening.

      Oh, sorry, didn't answer all the questions. 5'8" height, natty, and the one piece of advice is to stop trying to max out and spare yourself the year off due to overeagerly overloading deadlifts and pulling a hip abductor/rotator.

    1/2/3/4 is hit by the average gym goer in 6 months. If you're asking this question then you're probably a dyel twink. It probably took me a month or 2 to hit all those numbers.
