      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)

      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.

        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.

          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 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 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.

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        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.

        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

        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

      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.

  17. 2 years ago
    Anonymous

    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
