I don't know where everyone is at but my guess is Imm0rt4l or a healthy MTP would have the highest number. I'm currently about 7x but will be around 7.5 come summer.

1k would be ~6.2x for me. Unless I wanted to give up on the cycling I can't see that happening.
Well, unless I get a 400lb squat.

That's not even really a thing, but if we aren't going by actual meet lifts I'm sitting at about 1510 at a body weight of 240. 485 squat, 410 bench, 615lb dead.

what do you mean?
We do lots of steroids!

Nothing? First off 6 years is a long time. Second, even if he is using (probably is), who cares? It only matters when/if he tries to compete natural, compares himself to naturals or outright claims natural.

from my time on reddit, the capped delts and big traps are a clear sign of roid use
huehuehue
huehuehue
it's just that when I see examples of this it really make me reconsider everything regarding the natural/roided thing.
Some guys looks like ass after steroids but this guy looks great,
you mean this might be possible to achieve naturally in six years?

Judging from the body type in the first pic? Unlikely. Even more unlikely if he's a fitness personality on YouTube/Instagram.
Again though, it doesn't matter unless he's posing as something he's not.
Look at my bud. Natty or nah?

To the first part, this is what it looks like when you do it right. I have a bunch of friends that look like that. Their BB is on point.

Link doesn't seem to work. I assume because it's not public.

I don't take issue with the new year new me crowd coming in droves thought it is annoying. I'm not any more entitled to using the gym as anyone else. But some of these people have no fucking gym etiquette. taking the bar off the bench so you can deadlift right IN FRONT of the bench. why.png. There are open spaces that you can easily deadlift at, but you want to basically occupy a bench that you aren't using...smh
squat rack was open though, so impromptu leg day. downside was no belt or chucks.
also.

2nd set of my topset of squats from a week ago. Camera angle isn't the most flattering for depth. The 2nd set looks suspect, but I'm watching myself in the mirror. 455x4x2 last rep was a grind.

This is why mirrors are bad and I always face away they will give you a false sense of depth, plus you're not learning how your body feels to gauge depth/proper form.
Once I faced away and relied on my camera after the fact my form on everything got better.

I assume anyone who is bigger than me is on the special sauce. /s
Anyone who profits off their body image, strength, or competes is very likely using. It's very easy to obtain steroids with just the click of your mouse and it's not even that expensive. I'm all for personal use if it's done safely but claiming natty when you sauce is misleading. Uninformed beginners and novices will believe what they see and have unrealistic expectations.

I'm not planning on competing at the moment so I don't mind using it as my cue right now. There is 1 other squat rack, it also faces a mirror, but it's a cage so I can actually face the otherway.
Making it look easy, nice work!!!
You're just a jelly hater!
This is doug miller at 5'9" 210 lbs, striated glutes and all. You're clearly just not working hard enough. Yeah he majored in biochemistry and biology, which means he's just really smart. It doesn't mean he knows anything about drugs or their chemistry, he's like smart and really optimal with his training and stuff.
/sarcasm
Really though, there is nothing wrong with PED use in and of itself. But like you said it creates false expectations of impressionable newbies. And competing with others while on drugs is a scumbag thing to do.
Thanks man! but to be fair it's at x1.25 speed to fit the reps into 14 seconds

Yeah in my cages I'll flip the cups to the other side and do it thst way. I hate mirrors now.
Be even better when my damned jcups come in for my yoke.
You get them for you to take with you or are you apart of the home gym masterrace now?
Brolic Gaoler

You haven't seen my home gym videos brah?
Yeah I got a yoke, log, bumpers, farmer handles up to 85lbs in DBs, sandbags (150 and 200) a bench and a petty decent bow flex that the previous home owner left when I bought the place that I use for pull downs.
shiiiiiiiiiit
jelly, I'll have to give em' a look. Haven't been as active lately.
Ooh, my neighbour asked could she join me to the gym today and could I show her what to do. I think my bad influence is spreading.
Brolic spoiling us with sweet vids again. Always appreciated.

I know. I hate you all for that.
I really hate when that happens and I know people whom it happens a lot. Sadly it seems i haven't been blessed with those particularly awesome genes.
Looks totally fine to me. They are still made for sports and should feel nice. I see all kind of things at my university's gym. As long as you feel comfortable in them, they are totally fine.
I still need to say, it looks absolutely beasty. <3
Sounds like incredible start to begin with!

Sad day fitness bros, fitness legend Greg Plitt just died today. Was struck by a train while filming. Can't believe it, he and Rob Riches were the ones who got me into fitness. RIP
Haven't posted here in awhile but after 5 months of sporadic lifting I'm finally back home and lifting normally again. Slowly regaining my strength but I went back to SS so I could get my strength back relatively quickly. Anyway just wanted to say I managed to deadlift 205x5 lbs with double overhand grip. First time I've ever done that. Usually 205 lbs and up forces me to used mixed grip but for some reason I have tremendously improved grip strength.
very strange and tragic death... run over by a train??
I never expécted that, I thought it was going to be substance related

I don't follow any fitness guys, but it's always sad to see someone taken away so quickly. Life is too short.

Ugh. I was told this by my sister's boyfriend when I was trying to lose weight. It was all genetics supposedly and not my hard work.
Dan dude, very impressive.
Started with just the bar and added weight slowly until I had issues doing the 5 reps. Which amounted to 35kg squat, 40kg deadlift and 40kg bench. Been adding weight as pr. the program since then.

Just read that on my Facebook feed. I was expecting something steroid related. RIP to another fitness legend.

Can anybody recommend a 4 day upper body lower body workout routine splits for me? I decided to get more serious with my weight training and also get a more consistent routine.
Also, I hear different things about the off day between the splits. Some say to do cardio but others say not to. What is best or is this up to me / how my body feels?
Thank you.
Edit: Ignore this poor fool.

Just wanted to thank FitGAF. I'm 31 now with a wife and a 6 month old and my days of working out for PRs / muscles / aesthetics are over. Fitness, to me, now means staying in shape so I can be around for my family as long as possible. If the other things still come, that's okay too.
I had taken a little break from lifting after my daughter was born, but still lurking in here every once in a while. Seeing the Darths, Brolics, Cooters, Sphinxs, FallingEdges, Seans, Szus (apologies if I left anyone out, you're all incredible) doing it day in day out - real people - gets me motivated as fuck. I've worked out 9 times in the last 2 weeks, am exhausted all over, and it feels amazing.
Thanks.

Keep at it bud. Thst initial time when you have a kid and have to relearn how to budget time sucks, but the weight pile will always be there. Also, thanks for the kind words.
Thanks man. It is hard to squeeze in the time, but I know you guys have so much shit going on too that I have to be able to do it as well. It only takes 2-3 weeks of repetition to be "back" and I feel back! Keep putting your vids up and posting your progress. It helps everyone.
Great man! Best of luck!

Sounds like you got your priorities right! Fitness means different things to each of us but to be fit enough to take care of your family sounds really great to me.
I've been lurking here last 3 months as well as my MCL is still healing. 3 months of not touching lower body I have seen a big time deterioration but it's ok. Will be back at it once it heals.
Have been less strict on my diet too because it got way too difficult with schedule and work and all to eat chicken and brocoli for each meal haha.
You guys motivate me! Keep it up!
