I'm one of those beginners that only ever squats, should I revel in the fact that I resemble a t-rex with my huge legs and atrophied arms or should I do a curl? Thanks in advance.

What is your pre-squat ritual gbs? I like to draw a pentagram in chalk around the rack and then say HAIL SATAN with every rep. Apparently the left hand path is one of sick gainz and low bodyfat.

You need to do squats and overhead press too. Just build your routine around bench, DL, squat, and OHP.

DO NOT PUT OHP AND SHOULDER STUFF ON THE SAME DAY AS YOUR CHEST STUFF LIKE SO MANY FLAT SHOULDER NARROW BITCHES.
No matter how perfect your form bench and other chest movements WILL use your front delts to some degree which means they will forever be in substandard shape.
That's like my one big tip. Don't neglect shoulders, give them their own day.
AND GET THEM LATS BIG DO TONS OF STRICT rear end ROWS.
Also, big triceps > big biceps, flexed big bis look good but triceps will make your arms look humongous and filled out all the time.

Those are some HOT TIPS

just do that stronglifts program, it comes with a phone app so you dont even have to take a notebook and make notes and poo poo, you can just beep boop on your phone like a FYAD moderator faced with a plate full of eggs.

Instead of doing 5 sets of 5 reps though, do 5 sets of 10 reps so you get dat dere volume for gainz.

Roid talk:

Watch this: http://www.uk.tlc.com/shows/jodie-marsh-on-steroids/videos/#2422526153001

So one of these dudes started taking steroids to increase his bench press from 70kg (1rm) to 110kg, for Americans that work in furloughs per fortnight thats something like 155lbs to 240lbs.

Do british gym going men have hollow bones like birds and diets consisting entirely out of cotton candy? That is a pathetic amount of weight on the bench to go "gently caress it, I'm roiding up"

Maybe this gym is more their speed:

lol @ nattyornot.com

Its like a journey into the mind of the worlds fattest, weakest most delusional powerlifter wannabe.

Look at this poo poo: http://nattyornot.com/getting-psyched-before-heavy-squats/

Some choice quotes:

"As expected, the usual group of teenagers playing the game: “Who is the biggest coward in the gym?” was there. Those curl monkeys were naturally lifting baby weights and following the most generic bodybuilding routines one could think of. "

"To hell with spotters! The thick safety pins were my guardian angels and only training partners. Those are smarter than most people in the gym anyway."

"I loaded the bar with my working weight of 129,5 kg, which was a number I have missed 2-3 times before. Thereupon I opened my chalk box with love and covered the middle of the barbell with white powder. Then, I took off my shirt, which was not really appreciated by the teenage ninjas playing on the back machines."

"They saw my permabulking scars a.k.a. fat gut and modest bitch tits formation, which was not optimal, but still not enough to tilt me. I needed to put chalk on my T-shirt to get the bar stable and comfy"

"Before my top sets I had a dilemma to solve – belt or no belt? Something in me wanted to put the belt on, but I said: “No!” I wanted this day to be as raw as possible."

“Lat pull downs with 50 kg / 110 lbs, seriously? You are killing me, losers.”

"I took a deep breath, unracked the bar and did a few small steps to clear the pins. In my mind I was like: “gently caress monolifts! Real men unrack their squats!”."

Please stay out of the gym when you are autistic as gently caress and think you need a monolift for a paltry 129kg squat.

The lunk alarm is useful if you are about to do a PR deadlift or something and you want the whole gym to witness your greatness. Just drop a dumbell, grunt loudly and be safe in the knowledge that all eyes are now on you as you approach the bar with your chalked up hands (chalk also not allowed)
