This is just some wiki related to reddit?
I know reddit loves 5/3/1 and pretends that nothing else exists. Great example of the reddit echo chamber for something that isn't a political topic.
5x5 program got my bench to 275 when I was younger. I think it's fine.
Really after years of trying all these systems the only that will work for sure is getting in the gym consistently and lifting heavy. Everything else is mostly a distraction. Like min/maxing in wow
- satvikpendem 3y agoThey recommend many routines, not just 5/3/1: https://thefitness.wiki/routines/strength-training-muscle-building/ https://thefitness.wiki/routines/strength-training-muscle-bu...
- tayo42 3y agoAre you just regurgitating reddit advice or have you gone through this and advised gym goers with success? The nice thing about lifting is results speak for them self. If your going to keep posting this link as solid advice, maybe share your lifts...
- satvikpendem 3y agoYes I have gone through these, started with SS, saw basically no progress, then moved to 5/3/1 and did some other routines over the past several years. At my peak before a recent injury I was at 225 bench, 325 deadlifting and 275 squat.
- JimtheCoder 3y ago"At my peak before a recent injury I was at 225 bench, 325 deadlifting and 275 squat." So you barely lift...?
- bowsamic 3y agoIn what world is that "barely lifting"? I don't think I've ever even seen anyone in my gym bench that much
- JimtheCoder 3y agoIf you have never seen anyone in your gym bench 2 plates...well...I am not sure what to say to you. Maybe find a different gym? The person I was responding to is talking about SS, why 5/3/1 is more appropriate, and things of that nature. If he MAXED out at a 225 bench, a 325 deadlift and a 275 squat, he has no business really talking about this sort of stuff. You don't even need a structured program to hit those numbers...you just need to do it.
- bowsamic 3y agoWhy would I find a different gym just because people around me aren't lifting as much as you want them to be? I'm a 28 year old man and I can only bench 35kg (~77lbs) so why would I want to be around a bunch of people lifting 100kg+? > If he MAXED out at a 225 bench, a 325 deadlift and a 275 squat, he has no business really talking about this sort of stuff. You don't even need a structured program to hit those numbers...you just need to do it. I think you have a severely skewed idea of what it is common to lift.
- tayo42 3y ago225 is about the low end of taking lifting seriously as a hobby. Hes right, you can get to those lifts without much structure. just eating right, and being consistent for a couple years will get you there without trying to optimize beginner programs. Your view of what can be done in the gym is distorted by the gym you are in.
- bowsamic 3y agoWhy should I take lifting seriously as a hobby? What has lifting as a hobby got to do with anything? I don’t want to lift as a hobby if it means I’m doing it wrong until 100kg
- onion2k 3y agoIt's rare to see a 'no true Scotsman', an 'appeal to authority' , and a 'do you even lift bro?' in one comment.
