Image Transcription(A 4chan "green-text")

back when I was first starting, like 4 months in

at my gym there was always this super jacked black guy that would put up huge numbers

every time he's done with his set he yells out "ooooooo BABY"

it was never obnoxious or anything, I found it funny

he catches me smirking at him after he did it once

he tells me that it helps with the next set

I laugh

a few weeks pass and I'm on a hard set of deadlifts

was still doing strong-lifts so these are my max

push through them and for some reason yell out "oooooo BABY"

I hear "DAS RIGHT" from across the gym

my next was easier

Thank you jacked black man

Stronglifts 5x5 is a beast mode program for a beginner lifter. The gains in strength and mass you make over a period of around 6 months are amazing. If you want more visible muscle growth and are willing to sacrifice some strength to get it, the Phrak's Greyskull AMRAP is a great program too.
