I wish I knew that beginners shouldn't bother with 'beginner' routines like Starting Strength and Stronglifts 5x5 and should just make their own routine with a mix of compounds and isolations focusing on hypertrophy only. I wasted so much time. Why was I doing bent over rows? I didn't care about having a 'good back.' I just wanted bigger arms, chest and abs. But all I'd see on /fit/ was "beginners should start with this" and "you should aim for 1/2/3/4" which is retarded. I'm ripped as fuck now and I see people in the gym now all the time making the same mistake I used to. They're lifting heavy weight, benching 2+ plates, but they look like shit. No definition. No isolation movements. Just doing compounds. Still thinking they'll get my physique if they can deadlift 4 plates. I don't even do deadlifts. But you can't explain it to these people. They have to figure it out for themselves after a year of realising they wasted all that time only to look like chubby with minimal muscle mass increase because they didn't train in hypertrophy rep ranges.

>>75481010lurker noob here, what are hypertropht reps? going til you can't do another?
>>75481226Just don't go crazy with the weight at first and keep the reps high-ish like 8-15 if you're a total noob. Please note this phase shouldn't last long, it should be as long as you need to get a movement and have first hand experience with your limits. Not that anon btw I wish I started with SS.

>>75481010They are called beginner routines because they are designed to keep you a beginner.
