| Posted: 14 May 2021 02:00 AM PDT Welcome to the Physique Phriday thread What's the point of having people guess your body fat? Nevermind that it's the most inaccurate method available, (read: most likely way wrong - see here) you're still just putting an arbitrary number to the body you have. Despite people's claim that they are shooting for a number, they're really shooting for look - like a six pack. So let's stopping mucking around with trivialities and get to the heart of the matter. This thread shall serve two purposes:
Let's keep things civil, don't be a creep, and adhere to Rule 1. This isn't a thread to announce what you find attractive in a mate. Please use the report function for any comments that are out of line. So phittit, what's your physique pheel like this phriday? [link] [comments] |
| Are my numbers too low to start 5/3/1? Posted: 13 May 2021 05:09 PM PDT I'm male, 33y/o, about 5"8.5...been lifting for a couple of years. Using mostly Greyskull LP/SS and the popular Reddit PPL program, I got my stats to these calculated 1RMs (never actually tested, just calculated on exrx.net based off of my strongest sets) Body weight: 155-160lbs DL - 399lbs Squat - 317lbs Bench - 215lbs OHP - 137lbs I'm interested in building more strength and muscle and love the simplicity and elegance of 5/3/1 (would probably do the BBB variant) - just wondering if I'm passing up on quicker gains by switching to it too quickly? It's getting harder and very taxing to try to progress linearly on a Greyskull/Reddit PPL model of just adding 5lbs to my 5rm each workout. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what program they might try if they were me? Or if 5/3/1 is a reasonable choice? (My bench seems particularly sad and the thought of only moving it up 5lbs every 3-4 weeks seems inadequate..but maybe I'm just being impatient.) Thanks guys! First time poster but this sub has been really helpful to me in the past. [link] [comments] |
