Not know the difference between"looking strong" and "being strong" young idiot bruhs
I don't look like a action/super hero but I'm not dadbod either. Group of young dudes was trying throw shots at the ol man. There's a body builder that comes regularly to the gym and they decided to say"that's how I wanna look, like that super strong, big guy looks like he lifts a Lil bit but not like him":dame:first of all
But body builder bro put them in their place"I look like this because I'm probably 60-80lbs lighter and clearly 6 inches or more shorter, plus have you seen or done his workout, og put in work, he stay doing reps at heavier weight, I'm not doing 315 or the weight he does on ohp so he has powers. I'm going for looks for my competition, totally different diet and workout. Lemme know when you wanna try either. Enjoy posing in the mirror after y'all group female reps":mjlol:

I would give him rep if I could

1st Round Playoff Exits

How you feel about this article bruh
I'm half way through it and I'll get a better look at it tonight.

@Spliff is the probably the most qualified expert to speak on this.

The one thing I will say is that, I agree it varies from person to person.

With that said. I've noticed an interested amount of strength as well as less tension overall from squatting atg vs "closer to parallel" .

I've never had any injuries or major discomfort. Just feeling like a gawd from having quads on swole.



Right now I'm training my nephew, I have him squatting to a chair, because I don't believe he'll get the maximum gain out of squatting below parallel.


It's a bit different for taller people as well(he's 6'3). What I always keep in mind, is that the way he does things(positions himself and comfort level), won't exactly match up / look like how I train.

Instead it's more important to focus on getting the maximum gain out of a lift, rather than ego lifting / worrying about what some online fitness guru or community thinks.

1st Round Playoff Exits

10*135
5*225
3*275
1*315
Then did
10*225
3*275
1*315 this was my second time thru the cycle what y'all think? I gotta slide down more, keep getting caught on the rack

Ran into a cat the other day was 5'8 175lbs, benching 315lbs.

I was like :ohhh:

Aint no way I can't do this now.

Cat hit it 3x for 2 sets.

So cats like @BenchPressPapi are real...

This is me all day.

I intimate the fukk out of the super chiseled 6'4 2% bf steriod dudes.

They legit have to walk out the gym or go to the other side of the gym.

Because I come in steal their engery.


Imagine being some 6'4 230lb 3% bf cat, thinking you're brolic on the leg press with your 5 plates or 2 plates on the smith machine, doing quarter squats but then some cat who's 5'10 comes in squats 3+ plates, outside of the cage, with no type of padding like nothing.

Them dudes be emasculated ass fukk. I have them looking at the floor and shyt, or unracking their weights. As they should.

Shame on you, trying fool people into thinking your strong and shyt :heh:

And the by product of my workout style isn't defined abs, but it's not no dad body either.

It took time for me to get it by myself bro no lie. I would always stop myself at reps of 275 and only do it (315)with my gym bros spotting and giving me their energy. Then I sprit bomb that shyt with liftoff help. Now that I'm doing it by myself, I'll go up to 325 with a spot until I'm comfortable

Agreed a lot of it is based on the persons structure, stance and general setup. Personally I don’t go ATG with extra dip.

Only thing is people using this to go above parallel :camby:
