how are college gymbros so fucking huge?

i swear to god every time i go to the gym at my college maybe 1/4 of them are normies, 1/2 of them look intermediate-advanced, and the remaining guys can bench 3 fucking plate for reps.

these guys have to be 21-22 at most and they're this fucking big jesus how will i ever make it

Stop looking at other people and comparing yourself to them
When you are in the gym its only you verse the iron nothing else. I only feel truly bad when I can't hit my goals for the day. Thats how it should be to you too.

how long have you guys been lifting?

i've been lifting since february and i've been bulking since april and i'm not even fucking close to even hitting 1/2/3/4 for 1 rep let alone in the high rep range.

i usually go to anytime fitness and people aren't that big, so i feel at least average, but fuck going to the university gym with all these chads everywhere has killed a lot of my motivation.

god damn wasn't expecting this much motivation from you guys. but since you guys are the swole guys at those gyms, what did you do?

strength program and then hypertrophy, or just a brosplit and shitload of eating the whole time?

You'd be surprised how many of them do roids. They may not look like it, but it is the off-season, and many of them are on bulks. Don't feel bad, you can get there. My lifting buddy can out up 3 plates, and he's a lifetime natty.

Change your mindset. Don't be the one being dominated, be the one dominating. You want to know how to get big? Put in fucking work. Spend more time in the gym, work harder, eat bigger. The dudes bigger than you should get into the gym, and question their dedication.

Don't fear the wolf, make the wolf fear you.

I like to rotate power days with speed days. I'm on a maximum bulk right now, and my split is 4 days:

>1. Heavy compound chest, shoulders and tris
>2. Heavy squat, DL, and back + core
>3. Explosive compound chest, shoulders and tris
>4. Explosive squat, DL, and back

I like to use bands on explosive days to make my lockouts better. Heavy days should be maxing out, and explosive days should be lifting as explosively as you can, 5-8 reps.

i guess i'm not so much demotivated as envious and regretful that 2-3 years ago these guys were lifting while i was just getting stoned and eating pizza while playing wow ;-;

>>34699535
i feel like it's pretty common, i know some guys who have done roids, not sure how they got them, but they're on it. also, how are some of these guys so skinny but able to lift so heavy? i'm seeing guys benching 2 pl8 for reps and it's just crazy seeing them being able to do that shit.

i always thought 1/2/3/4 for 1 rm was a pretty good standard and you'd look pretty swole if you ate enough food and went to the gym consistently to get there.

>>34699571
i don't think i should be swole, i know i shouldn't be swole. i guess i should be happy i'm not one of those guys who just started going to the gym that week.

Anon, getting swole with or without good genes takes work, so lift big, lift long, and know one thing. Your body doesnt have limits, your mind does.

Most college gymbros have been lifting since Freshman year of HS or earlier.

Most of my friends who did football/wrestling in HS started lifting in middle school

A lot of lifting is getting your muscles used to the shock of heavy weights. Strength is a major part of lifting, but training your CNS to handle heavy weights is an equal part. The skinny dudes who can put up heavy weights have being going for a long time, their diet might just not be the best.

Do starting strength with add ons (don't follow the diet it is meme tier) than a 5 by 5 program. Only then when you are a very advanced lifter go to isolation exercises.

With the skellys that have 2pl8, its either hyper dense muscle, which is just compacted muscle, ridiculous willpower, which can double or triple your lifts if done properly(think monks)or a controlled aderanile release which i am working on in conjunction to cutting

I mean, I'm bigger than your average gym goer but I can't bench 225, squat 315, or deadlift 405. I'm getting close with bench and deadlift, squat is far off and I hit 1pl8 OHP a bit ago. I just suck dick at using my muscles effectively.

People see me and think "Oh he must be really strong, what do you bench?" etc etc When I tell them I only bench 185 for 5x5, they get all weird.

Part genetics, part skill garnered through practice.

I'm a fairly large and strong guy because I've been training with weights nearly six years and have put hours and hours of practice and hard work.

My buddy out squats me at 20kg lighter after a year because of genetics...

God damn that image is retarded. Did the person who wrote that even run track? Literally 99% of the time when somebody beats you it's because they're fitter than you/more talented/feeling better that day.

This isn't like children's cartoons where the guy who wants to win the most always does.

dont just assume it was just genetics you can do a very high weight squat in a year by doing an SS and eating big. I hated when my brosplit friend said my early progress was due to genetics even when it was due to handwork

In cases of rough equivelance most racing sports come down to who refuses to lose to this faggot next to him. You must have never swum or had a very small track team.

If you go through life justifying your shortcomings with excuses, then you will always be defined by those shortcomings. If you get to a contest, or a meet, and think that you're not ready, then you've already lost. If you get into the gym, and wonder if you can hit that PR, then you never will.

Don't make excuses. Be the person you want to be through sheer will and hard work. And if you don't think that you can do that, then don't expect to. This exists through all facets of life, and the gym is just a way for us /fit/ bros to realize it. Professionally, socially, physically, mentally. We are only held by back by ourselves. Don't be held back. Excel. Be the best person you can be.

Screaming is based. Being a steam machine while exercising is for posers though.
