I have two bulging discs. I couldn't even pull 150 at one point when I stopped working out. Deadlifts literally fixed my back pain. I pull 395 pain free
deadlifts are done as too much of an ego lift. If your back has problems, a much lower percentage of your 1RM is beneficial (maybe 50-60% even)
I'm thinking this is true
I threw my SI joint out years ago and it has never quite settled back 100%. I'm going to do light deadlifts as a sort of PT for a few months and see where it gets me.
I unironically do deadlifts with 30kg every day and my back is fricking healed, I used to get back pain from sleeping too (haven't changed anything else)
I'm doing SS and even the days I don't deadlift I can sense my lowerback working and getting stronger
>>You WILL get acne from drinking milk.
I have pretty annoying acne. Should I quit milk lads?
Yeah better switch that out to something healthy like söymilk.
don't get me wrong, but GOMAD must be the biggest meme in fitness. i know milk is cheap in US, so buying it in huge bottles is normal and relatively inexpensive. but other than that, whats the point?
first, it's made from pregnant cows so it contains large amounts of estrogens and progesterone—and yes, it DOES affect hormones. second, the protein content isn't even high, a whole quart of milk has just 30g of protein, yet just as much fat. third, you literally get the most lactose with it, as cultured dairy typically has way less of it.
even if you buy skim, lactose-free milk, you still need to chug way too much liquid for no point.
>estrogens and progesterone
Anabolic
I don't do gomad I just drink some milk cause I like it, I stopped drinking for a week and my acne didn't change though
Maybe I need to go longer without it
If it doesn't fix it after a week , it wont after a month. Milk's high amount of vitamin A helps if anything
GOMAD is literally for skinny fricks that can't eat enough weight and are weak as frick. SS+GOMAD will unironically get you enough strength and a decent amount of mass to where a cut will have you in a somewhat decent position to start bodybuilding, strength-wise and muscle mass-wise.
>for skinny fricks that can't eat enough weight
if they can't eat enough, then you think it's somehow easier for them to drink a whole gallon of milk?…
>bad thing
>good
>>bad thing
>>good
Look it up, it is anabolic and builds muscle and bone.
It's way easier to get 1,000 cals through milk than eating proper food, yes
>enough strength and a decent amount of mass
All in the wrong places.
It's moronic for skinny fricks too. Adding 2400 calories to your diet is moronic for just about anyone.
Like many things in SS, it's an over-correction to a problem that most people don't have. The book was initially written for coaches who coach high school athletes, and I guess it might make some sense for a young athlete who is very active and doesn't have time to eat. But then with time it started being recommended to skinny/skinny fat sedentary office workers too because it became a part of the SS brand.
And for the record, I'm not against milk or adding milk to your diet to gain weight, just with adding a whole gallon of it which is just unnecessary for most skinny guys.
The dietary advice contained in SS is absolutely insane especially for fat beginners.
If someone who is significantly overweight wants to start training, he should lose some fat first and foremost, not "bulk". That's a deadly trap that can led to years of permabulking. The only exception is if someone wants to specifically become a competitive powerlifter, but let's face it 99.999% of people doing SS have no intention of ever becoming one.
He can start heavy weight training for real only AFTER he's gotten leaner. But not before.
You moron. Blue book does not say fat beginners need to gomad or even bulk. It suggests high protein low fat low to medium carbs caloric maintenance if skinnyfat/small deficit if very fat to recomp. God damn you and your lying homosexualry
>small deficit if very fat to recomp
enjoy staying fat forever.
I think GOMAD is too much for skinny guys. Half GOMAD is a better approach IMO
You're a dyel. You even type like a hysterical woman.
t. GONEMAD
rippletoe fans still cant decide if GOMAD was just a texas boomer joke or not
There is no evidence of a SINGLE FOOD causing increased or decreased TEST or ESTROGEN so frick off moron. And if it did it would get fricking banned you moronic basement dwelling conspiracymunching assfister
you forgot the most important part which is the incredibly imbalanced mineral content that leads to cramps and nutritional deficiency
>someone just give me an easy program that will make me look good
do this every day
3 supersets of pushups+pullups
1-3 sets of crunches
a mile or half a mile run as fast as possible
>first, it's made from pregnant cows so it contains large amounts of estrogens and progesterone—and yes, it DOES affect hormones
Use your brain, moron. Why wouldn't underage trannies be guzzling it 24/7?
>lactose free milk
get off my board you brown shitskin Black person subhuman
Magnesium, b3 and iodine megadose, b5
fixed my shit up good luck
>you will end up unsatisfied by listening to me
and you WILL like it
Why are there so many anti ss threads
Did you morons run a beginner program for 3 years and now you resent it
Because Reddit loves SS
what? they dont recommend it whereas the IST sticky does
>You WILL push through the pain.
This is true for every program/sport
>You WILL get a herniated disc.
Do injuries like this happen accidently?
if you follow the three phases of the beginner program, you should never have to lift a single weight that you can't recover from
>You WILL NOT do physical therapy
why?
>You WILL NOT stretch.
You don't need to stretch arbitrarily, doing the warmup protocol in the book is good enough. (why would you need to stretch in unloaded positions that are outside the range of motion of whatever lifts you're doing?)
>You WILL waste money on back pain products.
Again, why would injuries happen accidently if someone is doing the program properly?
>You WILL get acne from drinking milk.
Then don't, even back when ripplebreasts was writing articles on T-nation he said that GOMAD is for skinny people.
>You WILL miss waking up without back pain.
why?
>You WILL NOT feel young and healthy again for the rest of your life.
If you did everything right and you're still feeling bad, then do a deload for 2-3 weeks. The average trainer won't lose all his gains in that time.
>You WILL continue to do the program.
Name a single program that works without needing the trainee to adhere to it.
>You don't need to stretch arbitrarily, doing the warmup protocol in the book is good eno-ACK
>he stretches
does your buttplug get in the way or do you take it out
ofc i take it out of your mom's ass before i frick her
You seem to be under the assumption that good form somehow makes you immune to injuries. It doesn't.
Not to mention that the way the program works you'll eventually start grinding reps and your form will start to suffer.
it does when it's coupled with proper programming. A lifter who's doing the program is never really going to overtax himself to the point of injury unless his form breaks. Eat right, sleep right, rest right, make fractional weight increments, make the proper programming change when warranted and you wouldn't more susceptible to getting an injury lifting barbells than you would be doing any other physical sport. Unless there's an even more streamlined way to do this that I don't know about.
I don't think making gains can be simplified in a way that still applies to the average trainee any further than SS has, but I would love to be wrong about this
I just stop when the weights get grindy. Never been hurt, pull 150 kg and am still the strongest guy in the room more often than not. I am convinced most guys hurt themselves when they reach the natty limit and refuse to accept it.
Why the frick is SS so controversial? Someone just give me an easy program that will make me look good. I don't want to think this hard
5/3/1, any program but preferrably boring but big
Ah yes, put a novice who could linearly progress workout to workout on a multi-week periodized program.
Why do I frequent this board??
anything but 5/3/1

A bro split. I started lifting in an old school male only BB gym with concrete floors and real iron weights. The old grizzled barn door of a coach laid it plain and simple, do a bro split, eat lots of protein. Those of us who blew up like this got offered test and D-Bol and competing, those who didn’t simply stuck to this simple approach, bulking and cutting by feel for winter and summer.
Based and truth pilled, if you don’t look good after 6 months of doing a brosplit and eating 300g of protons a day you probably never will look good, go do cardio or powercoping or whatever.
For absolute beginners that are not athletic and do not do labour jobs, then SS is great for 6 months to build your base.
Just throw in a ab routine and a couple months into it do some bicep and tricep work.
Whats called bro splits these days has always worked best for me personally.
Chest day, Back day, Shoulder day, Arms Day, Legs day.
End of each has some ancillaries of some sort like ab work, grip work, posture exercises. I do high pulls after every session for posture as well.
Do Reddit 6 day PPL. Google it.
this is too many days
How many days do you want to lift?
Reddit beginner routine (from r/fitness sidebar wiki), it's basically SS but "fixed". Do that untill linear progression runs out then do a 5/3/1 variation (boring but big is most popular).
this? it irks me that legs are trained last, after having done SS
Cause it's soi'd. Just do squat, press row & dl, press, chinup like real men.
Yea that's the one. If you want to do legs first just do them first, it won't make much difference.
Mark Rippetoe should be tried for crimes against humanity.
He ruined an entire generation of poor souls who just wanted to look good.

How many threads are you zoomers gonna make about squats and deadlifts being hard.
How many reps
All you need is to do the compounds and do some accessories imo
Day 1: arms and chest
DB benchpress, flat 10x3. Progressive load up to 3rd set end on failure.
DB relaxed curls, 10x3. Progressive load till failure. If you're not at failure you need to go up in weight.
DB pullover 10x3 with the heaviest weight you can do
Bench press, end last set with failure 10x3 or 5x5 if you can load more weight that way
Barbell curls 10x3 till failure. This is the last bicep exercise so go as heavy as possible.
Seated dips/dips/your preferred tricep exercise 10x3
Alternate between more or less chest/arms depending on how you're feeling
Rest day
Day 2: shoulders and back
Dumbell rows 10x3
Dumbell press 10x3
Dumbell fly 10x3
Bent over rows 10x3
Pullover machine if your gym has one
barbell OHP 10x3
Deadlift for volume. 10x3 with half the weight you'd normally do. 135lb if you do 2pl8 for reps for example. Focus on form which should be easier because the lower weight.
Rest day
Day 3: legs.
Bulgarian split squats 10x3
Calf raises 10x3
Leg press 10x3
Deadlift for weight. 5x5 for the most you can rep without ego lifting and sacrificing form.
Squats 10x3
Alternate between weeks. Do compounds one week, and all the hip/calf/etc raise machines another week to make sure you're hitting everything
I also do lat pull downs and whatever I feel like doing but this is pretty much the routine that I follow. Been doing it 4 months
