I like to think he's still around.... There's a little Marcel in all of us.

Reposting this in case anyone else wants to chime in

Which bench program have you had the most success with? Currently benching 125kg, weighing 100kg, 5'10, orangutan arms so slow/no progress. Technique I've got down by getting input from good powerlifters (arch, shoulders back and down, wide grip)

>>35926142
sheiko has been the best thing for my bench so far, but c6w also treated me pretty well while it lasted

>>35926044
Seriously wtf happened to him?

>>35926159
he left because Joffrey pissed him off
apparently he still chills in the super secret facebook group though

>>35926157
What is C6W? Which sheiko program did you run for bench?

>>35926142
I made a lot of progress with Greg Cuckols 3x week bench Intermediate program. One of his 28 free programs

>>35926142
>>35926142

5/3/1 used to be pretty meh for bench, but lately it's been blowing the fuck up and I've been cutting.

Kinda tempted to try a smolov jr one of these days.

>>35926195
candito 6 week
3 day, over 80kg sheiko

>>35926198
What was your before/after? I tried one of his programs for squat and it went nowhere after 3 months.

>>35926213
Went from 235 to 250 after my first cycle. I'm on my second.

>>35926207
Do you just keep running the Sheiko program over and over with higher weights? Or do you move to another program?

>>35926385
I'm planning on repeating it until I don't progress on it anymore, which will hopefully be a while. Same as I did with c6w. then probably move to the 4 day sheiko

I'm slightly beyond 1/2/3/4, been lifting for two and a half years now, but for the next few months I'm barely going to have time to lift as I'd wish. I guess I'll be able to spend half an hour per day or less, and have access to a barbell and weights, and I've been thinking on focusing on one exercise each day, if I get some more time maybe add some accesory or whatever. Please keep in mind that my main goal is not to keep gaining strength or muscle, more like maintaining as much as I can and keeping a balanced body as well as geting some good healthy exercise daily. Also I won't be able to eat as much or as good as I'd wish, so some muscle loss would be expected anyways.

How bad would this be? If I wanted to add some farmer's walk, what would be a better option?

Hey plg what accessories would you add to madcow for bodybuilding without compromising recovery?

I would ask the rest of /fit/ but i feel dumbfuckery is less rampant here, even if this is a powerlifting general

>>35926753
desu I just added probably about 10 sets of dips and pull ups over the week. Recovery was fine until I got 100lbs over my starting squat max. Also went from 205-215

>>35926753
>bodybuilding

I'd eat more.

Srsly though, accessories should be tailored to the lifts your working firstly, your weaknesses secondly, and biceps thirdly, cause working bis won't hinder any compound lift.

Rows and Chins are a must
Curls and ab stuff are a maybe.

Not strictly optimal. Low volume, low frequency, meh specificity.

I find it super enjoyable, BBB is fantastic, and it can be easily customized to be better for PL.

Give it a shot. The best program is the one that keeps you coming to training.

>>35927672
bad.
slow progression, low frequency. You can see faster results doing something else, if that's your goal.

>>35927814
cute

>>35927818
what would you recommend? texas?

>>35927871
if you can progress on it, yeah TM is probably the fastest. maybe add RDLs of VD to get a bit more pulling volume in, and drop OHP
--this is if your goals are purely to bench, squat, and deadlift the most.

>>35927871

I've been running home brew PPL
ABxCAxBCx
And liked it, but figured progression would be better on a tried-and-true program. Made the PL team and they have me starting on 5/3/1 I'm just not sure how quick progression is and if it's possible to make it any better with added accessories.

Lifts (lbs) 1rm
B: 275
S: 315
D: 405

I know my squat and dead are lagging. Had to rework technique because my hamstrings weren't being used in either. Led to disc issues, so I started from the bottom (now we here.)

Thoughts?

>>35927889
Sick /a/ meme senpai

>>35928006
probably best to stick with people who know what they're doing, i.e. the pl team, than go off on your own. benefits outweigh losses imo. i just wouldn't follow 5/3/1's progression, i would test a new 1rm attempt every 4-6 weeks and i would increase the relative intensities for each rep range, on top of adding some useful accessories like paused dls and paused squats.

>>35928108
>useful accessories
>paused dls

>>35928129
paused dls have probably added more weight to my total than regular dls tBh.

Good job lad.

>>35928678
But weight and height are correlated....
Being 5'5 doesn't offer you any advantages if the average height in your weightclass is 5'5

I never felt my glutes working nor did I ever actively brace them in the squat - I can't keep tension in them, as soon as I just go down a out 1/4 I lose it.

Is that just not possible for some builds? Or is it stance related? Mine is quite wide and I push my knees way out in the whole. I could not imagine I should use my glutes in that position?

Just had a long talk with my mate at the gym today.

He's eating at a deficit but he managed to bench 5x5 140kg/309lb today, which is a 5kg personal best from last week. The week before he had a 10kg pb.

So my question is, how the fuck is he making strength gains while on a deficit? (He knows he's at a deficit because he's 10kg lighter in body weight since he started his cut).

>>35929238
>So my question is, how the fuck is he making strength gains while on a deficit?
Because "you must lose gains on a cut" is a internet meme

>>35929238
What were you discussing in this long talk? Roid accusations or wut?

If be is slow cutting then prs are definitely possible, especially when he eats big volume and itensity day.

Building work at my house means i have to train at a commercial gym today.

I would travel to a PL gym but 30-40mins for slingshot bench and accessories seems pointless

Just life, training and diet really. He's a big boy, all natty and total bear mode. But yeah he is doing a slow cut.

>>35929398
If he's a big dude he carries enough mass that he could easily lose weight and still gain strength. When you are already lean and then cut that is when you lose strength/can't make PRs. If you are carrying a lot of mass to begin with you can get stronger while cutting because even on a cut he is probably eating more than his body actually needs. As he leans out and his daily intake continues to decrease the gains will eventually stop.

Just my $0.02

>>35929471
I see, that makes a lot of sense, thanks. If you had to make a very rough estimate, around what bf percentage do you think the gains stop?

>>35928820
if your knees are tracking out and your hips are extending, then you're using your glutes m8

there's no "mind muscle connection" needed. you do not need to 'feel' your pecs when you bench, you do not need to feel your 'glutes' when you squat.

>>35930873

my bench is catching up and my deadlift 1rm is 40kg higher than squat approximately

>>35930868
how do i not let them ;_;

>>35930889
When you want to collapse forward and let your hips/back take the load, just... don't. Stay upright, grind it with your quads.

>>35930908
it wasn't a squat morning though - his hips just moved into a better positioning after hitting depth.

>>35930941
a) did we watch the same video? b) hips moving to a better position isn't (supposed to be) a thing for squats, it's more for deadlifts

Wow rich before he took the juice

>>35930952
a) yes. look at the angle of his hips in relation to his knees. torso angle isn't 1 size fits all for squat morning - let alone the fact that his torso wasn't even that leaned over

b) it wasn't a problem of squat morning though, and making him "stay on the quads" would lead into too many unnecessary problems rather than fixing the root problem. the problem is he's fishing for depth trying to maintain an upright position, then going back to a perfectly solid, typical lowbar position.

>>35930980
fishing for depth trying to maintain an upright position, then going back to a perfectly solid, typical lowbar position.

what do you mean by this? i feel i can hit depth too easily in a way (can squat atg with heels together no problem) and this can lead to it actually feeling harder when i try to cut reps to parallel

should i start with a less vertical back angle?

>>35931009
>should i start with a less vertical back angle?
you should allow yourself to be less upright on the descent, ending in a similar angle to which you ascend with. that would be the ideal situation.

that being said I don't think it's a horrendous problem you need to worry about too much. some coaches actually advocate it because it "uses up" the quads before deferring back to the hamstrings.

just keep working on getting stonger (my original sentiment) because your squat is perfectly fine

if you're fufilling those two conditionals, in the context of glute activation, then yes

by loose at the bottom I assume you mean allows lower back rounding - then he's not fulfilling proper hip extension, so glutes are not fully utilised/capable.

Is lifting a trap

>>35932118

This is pretty much true. My Provincial affiliate resets it's juniour records all the time cause no-one gives a fuck.

>>35932127

>>35932127
The truth about lifting is that all roads lead to Snap City. People who lift weights choose to look good for a few years before dying at age 50.

>>35932127

No

Competing? Yes. Powerlifting is the thing we do between injuries.

going back to sheiko

first week of RPE based training left me absolutely #rekt to pieces, I don't think I'm responsible enough to be basing my training off of that kind of stuff yet.

so for now I'll just keep track of RPEs during sheiko and maybe revisit it some day in the future. had to lower my bench max because of my wrist bothering me into a narrower grip

>>35932136
This is the first day of my 4th week of it.

>>35932127
I'd rather be a broken man at 60+ having lifted than being a broken man at 70+ and spend my whole life not knowing what I could have done with it regarding physicality

>>35932118
I loved calculus, I took it even though I didn't need to. Marketing it's really fucking easy, there are very few specific things you need to remember like equations, more just concepts. Quite a bit of writing, which I'm completely okay with because I seem to get shit done in half the time or less than my classmates

>>35932175
then no shit it's easy. Let me guess, you're up to linear, time-invariant, first-order equations? Hang onto your ass.

>>35932127
Pretty much the way I see it if you lift just to bullshit around and do whatever, it's pretty easy to avoid serious injuries or tendinitis.

If you train as though you're going to compete, you'll almost certainly develop some sort of tendinitis/irritation somewhere and some acute injuries as well.

But this is only while you're training that way. In the long run you'll likely have stronger joints and have fewer musculoskeletal issues as you age so long as you aren't powerlifting seriously when you're 50.

>>35932904
Sumo literally is more functional than conventional and anyone who thinks otherwise is just wrong. If you're picking up a real-life object off the ground, you're almost definitely straddling it.

>>35933509
just learn to bail out without safeties.

>>35933509
what the fuck do you even mean if theyd be lower theyd be useless

>>35933197
No

>everything feels like fuck
>camera shows it flying up

>>35933510
The only practical things I've ever had to do in real life that resemble deadlifts are moving a trailer onto a hitch or moving boulders around for landscaping. The latter uses more of a sumo stance but the former can use either, and is a more common activity anyway.

>>35933555
>hitting a full house

>>35933541
If I put them lower, the bar wouldn't reach them even if I went as atg as I could so I'd still have to dump the bar like I would without safeties

Mfw some crossfit cockloving faggot got lost on the way to his box and somehow ended up in my competitive powerlifting gym

So you collapse forward a few inches and it's fine. Or just work with loads you know you're unlikely to fail.

>>35933621
I am unlikely to fail the weights I'm working with but the safeties are throwing me out of my groove so Idk

>>35933510
Is that why the kings of functional strength, strongmen, all pull conventional without exception?

Maybe it's because only pussies and cheaters pull sumo lol

>>35933637
It's because they have to you fucking guy. Love to see you conventional pull a 55 gallon drum off the ground.

>>35933706
Or maybe it's because conventional is superior in every way. Ever wonder why world records are set with conventional?

It depends on the wraps. I have a pair that doesn't seem to add any weight, but I've heard that some types can add 40-50 pounds.
It's probably best to just treat them as a knee safety device.

>>35933785
Depends entirely on the wrap. If you are wrapping them yourself you probably won't get them all that tight. If someone else is handling you, depending on the brand you could maybe squat around 160kg with a good wrap and a stiff pair of wraps.

>>35934166

>>35934330
For what actual purpose? Just linear progression? I'd drop it a little, 87.5% doesn't leave you a lot of room to go upward.

>>35934324
But they do, though. Wraps minimize movement of the patella and keep the knee's tendons from stretching too far outwards.
Compression is a wonderful thing.

>>35934333
Rehbands add nothing but comfy. Anything you gain from them is likely confidence. If you were to get SBDs that are tight and crank them on I wager you'd add a few pounds. In my personal experience they helped a lot.

>>35933785
Depends how good you are at wrapping and squatting in them.

You should not be using them

>>35934397
it's going to be very hard for you to add weight to that and do 5x5 if you are trying to progress them lineary
