Ripple Toes is **** for bodybuilding

There, i said it.

Every time i see it recommended to noobs I just lol

It's ok for increasing your squat but that's about it.

Ripple Toes routine is stone age **** and needs to be consigned to the history archives.

it's called starting strength, where is it advertised as hypertrophy?

The only reason I hate it is because I see a bunch of noobs doing deadlifts/squats/ohp/rows with the archest back of peace and destroy their rotator cuffs in the bench.

If you're doing it with a trainer though I guess you'd get the noob gains anyway.

y u mad doe

Did you gain 400% bf on GOMAD or something?

If you literally know zero about weight training, SS will at least teach you how to program effectively and set goals. I'd rather have high school kids doing SS than the bs I remember doing in the weight room.

This is in contrast to all of your threads claiming you aren't making any progress doing brosplits and asking about doing other routines

Agreed. Absolutely horrible routine, luckily I never fell for it. That is, I did one session and barely felt like I had done anything and then never went back to it again.

If one wants aestethics the only fullbody routine worth its salt is Big Beyond Belief or something similar. But even then some muscle groups tend to get underdeveloped.

Surprising considering its not at all marketed as a bodybuilding or hypertrophy routine

You seem like someone that has very little knowledge or experience with training in general

Starting Strength is too intimidating for noobs. No noob is going to squat, deadlift and overhead press a barbell on day one. It is a bullchit idealistic program probably made up by some fat fuk powerlifter. Brosplits are an easier introduction and then once someone is accustomed to lifting, the gym, and form, do something like PPL incoporating squats, deads, overhead presses etc. and then for example PHAT with its increased power/volume/intensity after a year or two when gains start to stall.

As everyone has said it isn't specifically designed for hypertrophy.

I also believe that most beginning lifters, and even those training purely for aesthetics, would benefit from becoming proficient with the basic compound lifts. Especially given that most lifts you'll end up doing are just variations of the basic lifts. If you start as a beginner and learn to be a good squatter, presser, rower, puller, you will have a huge leg-up on the bro-splitter beginners who can barely curl properly. The mechanics of the core compound lifts carry over to almost everything else...

Not to mention it isn't the program causing these Dreamer bulks it's the GOMAD/"eat everything to get big" bro diets doing it. There's no reason to tell guys doing a 5x5 program to eat 1000+ calories over maintenance every day. It's just making them fat. That's the issue.

There's enough straw men in here, to build a small army.

"But but but the marketing!"
Where did OP state that it was marketed as a hypertrophy program? He said it was being recommended to noobs (who want to build muscle)... which it is.

Judging by OPs avi he's the best looking dude in here. No homo.

I did. But I'm also not a pussy and understood that it was going to be challenging to achieve my goals. SS worked well for me. I really just wanted to get big and strong so I was eating a ton and busting my ass in the gym. I was probably more motivated when I first started lifting than I am now. SS along with 5x5 ended up giving me a really good base for the two bodybuilding shows I did, but I also started as a skinny little fukker so for someone starting out that is overweight I would go a different route for sure. Depends on what your goals are.

It is terrible. GOMAD is extremely retarded.There is no reason for someone to be squatting that much unless their goal is to be a powerlifter or football lineman.
Most people who seek workout help online are wanting to have a heavy bench, big arms and abs and look like Zyzz or Fight Club Brad Pitt but they end up looking like a fat bellied, skinny armed T Rex after listening to advice from online neckbeards.
