It's actually insane how true this is. The guys doing bro-splits look 10x better than guys who got tricked into "building a strength base" and ended up with massive woman-like thighs from squatting. bro split + some sports and cardio absolutely wins, hands down.

Post body.

I will never post my body for a bunch of gay dudes who cruise this board. With AI being what it is, people can find out where you live and stuff to. Nice try gay boy, but you'll have to go to a differnet thread.

That's the essence of the point your OP image is making

It’s 2026. If you fall for the SSGOMAD in current year that’s on you

It's 100% true and furthermore it's 100% common sense.

You are not the guy on the left. You are not popular, handsome, athletic, charismatic, endearing or nonchalant.

You are a sad lonely shut in with a year-round ragebait gimmick on a dead internet messageboard.

Now if you'll excuse me I need to drink milk and do some squats.

A split or a routine, as long as it covers all main muscle groups, does not dictate how you will look. If you look bad after SS or any beginner routine, you would have looked bad after a bro-split, too, because you have bad genetics, not because certain muscles aren't perfectly balanced. Chad can run SS and then look 10x better than you.

>>77487486
You look like shit dude lol
>>
>>77487478
you pretty much only need a strength program until 1/2/3/4 to build a general base and get familiar w the movements. it makes progress on a brosplit a lot more efficient, ime.
yes, you can change what you do if it isn't yielding the results you want, anon.

What's a bro split?
>>
>>77488643
I will never 1234. If I ever deadlift 3pl8 and squat 2.5pl8 I plan to immediately swap to 1/week maintenance lifting and get on with my life. I don't even care what my bench/ohp does.

p-prove it

>>77487478
It's weird seeing posts about people who bench, squat, and deadlift heavy but end up looking bloated or unaesthetic.
I've basically only bench and once in a while OHP and split squat. I'm lean but my muscles are noticeable and I even have B cup or whatever pecs.

I will never forget the dark ages of lifting (sometime after Zyzz's death and until 2018-2019 or so), when people unironically recommended SS and kept denying the obvious T-Rex physiques it created.

People who weren't around that time or weren't terminally online like all of us may not remember that period, but it must not be memory-holed.

The truth is that the bros focusing on bro-splitting, the pump, sports, etc. were correct all along and the whole "lifting for strength" meme is just some copium by people who couldn't diet down properly or become truly athletic.

I fell for that propaganda in the past and humbly admit I was wrong. Never again.
>>
>>77487478
strength programs were never meant for aesthetic
brosplit is a meme if you are not a roidtranny
natty lifting is solved by upper/lower split
garbage thread made by a retard who doesn't even lift (like 99.999% of this board)
>>
>>77488776
phase 1:
- push ups
- chinups until you can do 10 clean reps
- c25k running
phase 2:
- ss but with weighted chinups as a 5th lift done every day 3x5
- continued running
It's that simple to fix.
>>
>>77488752
I fucked up my post.
Anyways, I don't have great lighting for a pic and it's difficult to tell which measurements are accurate. One said a two to three inch difference is B.
>>
>>77487478
>Roider vs morbidly obese
This is quite possibly the most worthless picture on /fit/

If you're average/skinny fat, right is correct, but most people will (mentally) benefit from adding arm work as well
Bro splits only work for noobs if they're also riding. Sorry, lil guy
>>
Brosplits are retarted for natties. Just do some either some full body program 3 times a week or some 2-day or 3-day split that allows you to hit all muscle groups at least twice a week and has some sort of linear progressing. It's literally that simple and it won't make much of a difference in the long run which of these options you choose, so do whatever you like more.

The elusive barrel-chested skinny fat

You could look amazing running an LP plus accessories into a 4/6 day split once you've hit intermediate
Just looks a little rough unpolished

T. Barrel chested

>you pretty much only need a strength program until 1/2/3/4 to build a general base
Good post in spirit, but truthfully you don't even have to go that high. 1/2/3/4 is already well above the average gym goer.

>it's literally impossible to be lean naturally
>>
>>77488850
Most dudes literally can't (skill issues)
The problem is that this guy looks like this every day of the year so it's quite obviously and sadly roids
>>
>>77487478
Bro-splits are unironically optimal as a 5 day a week split. People complain about the 1x frequency but the key to making it work is that you're doing daily heavy compounds which inevitably stimulate other parts of the body. Chest, for example, will also get stimulated on your arm and shoulder days with lying tricep extensions, dips, seated shoulder press etc. If you do a deadlift variation and rows on back day that's basically two leg days. The fact that these bro routines produce better results than powerlifting splits is not even a strength vs hypertrophy thing. It's more just that powerlifting splits are wildly unbalanced. I would argue that bodybuilders running bro splits are the ones building a true "strength base" because they're getting strong in like 25+ movements, as opposed to one shit chest movement and two ass focused movements.
