was at 305 and then muh pec tore. Obsessively watched rip videos to get that perfect form. Been back up around 280 or so but then reinjure, Ive done that 3 times. Now I have osteoarthritis so i said fuck it and started hiking.

>shitting strength

post your body

>>13586701
Sounds like you're all flash and your vanity is destroying your body.

>>13586720
I think he just did, see also "what I got". Still better than where he started, the face above and to the left.

>>13586706
that's why it's called starting strength. you're supposed to do it for about 6 months and then move on to cutting and to such exercises. fucking faggots.

>>13586734
Yeah what they fail to mention is that underneath that flab is muscle and if he cut before doing it there would be nothing there.

>>13586755
Also those guys in the middle are world class power lifters. That one guy is almost certainly off ss and into something like 531 or west side

>enough to be able to lift your body weight?
yes

90 lb db flat bench for 3x8 i dont do maxes theyre pretty unnecessary for all my goals (general health, body maintenance, aesthetics)

>>13586674
Bare barbell.

>>13586674
i dont go for 1RM but theoretically, based off my 3-5 rep maxes it should be around 285

yeah im a big boy with a big brain mmkay

>>13586706
imagine being this delusional

ha, that guys taking a shit

>>13586706

>>13587611
gotta get your talebod bros

>>13586674
When I was working out a lot I repped 315 with a weight belt. But I've grown flabby.

>>13586674
275 max

>I embrace the homosexual aesthetics but I really really love women i swear

physical well being is done through healthy food and walking. beyond this shows that you either do it because
-you are bored, aka a failure
-you are a homo, aka a failure
-you do it for women, aka a man devoted to please women even if you claim otherwise, like all men, aka a failure
-you cling to your health, aka a failure living in fear of death

=>you are a pleb as soon as you lift.

NICE FUCKING DAY TO DISCUSS LITERATURE, HUH? I MEAN EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IF YOU POST A BOOK ABOUT ANY SUBJECT THAT'S JUST FREE LICENSE TO TALK ABOUT THAT SUBJECT ON THE LITERATURE BOARD.

>>13588618
Maybe you're just to weak to lift books. (like in my case)

>>13588618
>t. low testosterone "man" coping

You are justifying why lifting weights are bad based on your shallow reasoning. The first one especially doesn't make sense at all since you could say the same about any hobby.

>tfw lanklet and can only bench 80 kg for reps
any books to help me with this?

>>13588832
Isn't that more than your body weight? Why bother getting ripped, if you're already strong enough?

>>13588629
You can take the redditor out of the downvote, but you can never take the downvote out of the redditor.

Stupid OP spent too much time on /fit but I'll bite

I can do 185x5 with little to no warm up which is enough to earn respect at an average commercial gym. For years I cared about 225x5 as a huge benchmark achievement but now I think it's more important to be well rounded across cardio and more importantly knowledge. I wish I read a little more in my college days and lifted a little less

>>13586674
500+ years of machine-learning in a single cable.

>>13588629
Why so buttmad?

>>13588629
Sounds like you've got a weak body and mind and suck at focus and reading.
