Indeed. Here is real 255kg set. Only a little less fast.

Still deloading. I hate deloading. Knees were pretty sore after squatting. Hoping it was just because I forgot to buy more tape so I wasn't able to tape my knees.

you can get far with a MSc in chemEng, it doesnt have to be in chemistry if you dont want to.

more than anything else, the degree shows that you are capable of understanding a scientific approach and that you are probably smarter than average and has a trained brain

>tfw the only "woman" to make it in the LoL pro scene just got fired... and was actually trans

I have an issue concerning deadlift form. I am built pretty disproportionate. I have long legs, short torso and short arms. While trying to deadlift conventional i cannot reach the bar in an optimal position if I dont round my back. I have tried pulling sumo but it feels weird on my hips and I cannot recruit as much muscle as effectively as when I round my back during conventional. What to do?

>clothes come off and shouting starts during dl

>tfw I could feel this girls ass rubbing on the side of my quad for the entire bus ride

So did I basically lose my virginity?

>>35962405

You swallow your ego, deload by like 25% and learn to pull sumo properly. It will be worth it once you get used to it.

>>35962525
Because Sheiko says no deloading during the transmutation phase. I will try to get it right tho but I am still interested if there is a chance i could ever get a goos conventional pull

>>35962586
Unless you want to take the risk of thoracic spine herniation, which is, admittedly, somewhat lower than either cervical spine or lumbar spine herniation, or you decide to get extremely strong quads to squat the weight up, which if you go this route, you might as well pull sumo anyway, then probably not.

I think it looks kinda good, you just need more time under the bar to perfect it.

What part of the lowbar do you have problem with?

>Doesnt highbar require more flexibility than lowbar?
Only if you do some kind of oly floor-defiling ATG squat. Highbar is easier mobility-wise since the weight is more "on top" of you, making it more like a front squat.

>>35962666
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoZWgTrZLd8

>>35962666
Pretty nice squat op. Keep this form and progress in weight.

You probably can't low bar squat because it feels akward for most people if not tought correctly. You could also argue that you need better flexibility in the hips but i'm pretty sure it's just a technique thing.

>>35962729

2)
Well its weird, but for me the hardest part is just holding the weight on my back. I always feel like either im holding the weight up with my arms and then get fatigued and drop it, or i feel it in my lower back and feel like im about to injure myself so dont push myself.

I doubt I could unrack 115kg lowbar and hold ot for more than 30 seconds.

>>35962745

Training might be it, cause I just taught myself with youtube videos - obviously not ideal. Its probably something I should learn how to do at some point to be honest.

So it looks like low bar is what's been fucking with my knee. High bar doesn't do that, and that max is only 10lb lower, so I'm probably just going to drop lowbar.
That leaves one free slot in my variations. Any suggestions? My weakness is forward lean, though it's much more minimal than it used to be. I'm already doing front squats. Maybe SSB?

This lack of lifting is starting to really affect me lads. Depression is coming in, and leaving no survivors. Don't expect any of you to care, just wanted to get it out there.

>>35963754
Try that drill where you try to squat facing a wall with your feet just a few inches away from it. Might help you to figure out what "staying upright" feels like when you want to be bent over. High bar is sort of inherently upright, but I find that a free squat is more like lowbar in that you end up having a more horizontal back angle, so in that regard they might feel similar enough that you can figure how to cue for it in lowbar like you would need to in that exercise.

Like my appetite is fucked from being sick. But the depression just makes me not want to do anything, not even eat, even though I'm hungry as fuck. I'm just in the dining hall trying to get something down so I don't lose any more weight than I already have. Thanks for the song, I'll give it a listen when I get back to my room. Nice to know someone out there gives half of a fuck about someone they don't even know.

>>35963802
>any ideas for squat variations
>try this drill that doesn't involve lifting at all
I'm having 70s Big flashbacks.
Anyway, I probably should have been more clear. I used to collapse forward in the hole, causing my hips to shoot up, but I've (mostly) fixed it through front squats and highbar. Now that I'm dropping lowbar, I need another variation to fill that space, ideally one that also focuses on the anterior chain a bit more.

>>35963892
Pretty chill song dude, digging it

>>35963898
Squat 280x3x5 man. Programmed like a retard for almost a year. Finally got on the right track. And my lifting numbers have nothing to do with my happiness. The act of lifting does. If I don't lift for an extended period of time or I don't have school distracting me then my depression kicks in.

>>35963917
Yeah I realized after I posted that it wasn't what you were asking for at all and hoped you'd just kind of ignore it lel.

SSB is good, as are paused, beltless front squats (which you might already do). Pin Squats are really great too.

>>35963931
How long were you able to progress from workout to workout on squats on SS?

>>35963963
Started at 205x3x5, had to progress by 10 lbs a week until I got a belt at 245x3x5, since my core just couldn't recover. Deloaded 2 times already, so once I get back to lifting again, hopefully next week, taking a 10% deload on everything and going from there. Once I stall for a third and final time, gonna cut on 3/5/1 w/ BBB sets.

What was it about senpai?

>>35964017
It's ok lad, we all start somewhere. I got practically 0 squat progress for like a year because I was on a PPL split for like a year. Started at 185x3x8, think I got strong (for a novice) legs from fencing. Pretty much didn't increase it at all for 8 months. Then I added 40 lbs to it in about 4-6 weeks. Worst way to program it ever. Would feel like passing out after the first couple reps, and always after every set. Eventually had to take a 2-3 week long deload because it got to the point I literally couldn't squat 235 for 5, and I felt like I'd collapse any moment. After that, squatting 190x3x8 was all I could do. I lost almost all of my progress, because I was a dumbass. SS is fucking magic though. Even brought my bench to 225x3x5, paused for 1 count each rep.

>>35963931
I understand its the lifting and not the numbers, but maybe you need to get more hobbies if lifting is the only thing brining you joy and you're not even amazing at it was my point.

>>35964055

>>35964051
were you a twinkshit in it?

that would be terrifying

>>35964059
I wish I had the time. I see my girlfriend on the weekends but I'm too busy with homework for the most part to spend all that much time with her. Lifting is all I have time for if I'm going to sleep normally. I wish I could get back into fencing but everything interferes with it. Hopefully next year will be easier.

No worries. I think I'll give the SSB a shot. It looks fun.
Conjugate is fun. I'm trying all sorts of new things (inb4 roids), and I'm learning a lot, but it's much more challenging to make it work than other styles I've tried.

>>35964058
I've been lifting for 2 years off and on because of 2 surgeries. But I only started squatting seriously a few weeks ago. Couldn't do it 2 years ago because of shoulder pain. What was your bench while you were on PPL?

Does alcohol really affect gains that much? I don't believe it.

>>35964056
Had to quit Powerlifting because I lost my arms and legs in a car accident, and developed some random skin condition that had me losing chunks of my hair, and I finished the dream off with me dying alone because my ex threw me in a dumpster and I die slowly by suffocation, then I woke up sweating, and about to cry.

Fuck you, brain.

>>35964099
If you're trying to lose fat. Alcohol gets used as energy right away and you stop burning fat.

>>35964079
That would be too terrifying to comprehend lad

>>35964112
>random skin condition that had me losing chunks of my hair

Fug. I consistently have dreams about all my teeth falling out. Nightmares like that are the fucking worst.

>>35964096
Programmed that stupidly too. Didn't move it at all for a couple months. But from November to March last year I was cutting. I'd add 5 lbs to my bench every 2 weeks. Went from 155x3x8 bench to 185x3x8. Everything I did was pretty high volume, I'm surprised I didn't fall apart desu.

>>35964136
Bench was tng btw

>>35964130
Was fucked up cause I dreamt I was at the gym and a grill stroked my hair, and she grabs an insane amount of hair, and there was a huge chunk of skin at the bottom, then she starts cackling like a witch and everyone in the gym starts joining in.

What the fuck desu

>>35964136
I think I need to drop my ego and just do SS for everything, not just squat. I've been doing Greg Cuckols 3x week intermediate routine for bench. Been adding 10lbs per month. But my bench is only 210x5. Will I still make progress if I do SS for bench even though I'd be cutting back volume by a lot?

checked.
also youre real close on your toes, try putting the weight on your heels a bit more.

>>35964174
Have no idea. Give it a go. I probably built enough muscle that I'm just working on actually recruiting it at this point, due to such high volume. I was absolute garbage at low reps when I first started them. 3x5 has worked for me, but I don't know. Don't do any pressing accessory work either, I'm running SS with some back/bicep work, and the ab wheel. Also brought my OHP up to 140x2x4, which is good, if you like doing OHP.

>>35964174
just do greg's novice shit instead of intermediate

Just ordered a pizza lads.

Fuck

>>35964200
I'm horrible at low reps. I can bench 210x5, 200x9, but 220 only twice. I've always been good at OHP. My best is 135x12. But I haven't done it in a couple months. I'm just going to try SS with back/biceps/abs and see how it goes, thanks.

>>35964243
>Fuck
What's wrong with ordering a pizza?

>>35964245
I do facepulls for 3x15 every session, I barbell row 3x5 every time I bench, with some 3x10 curls. I do chin ups for 3xF and ab wheel on days I ohp. Honestly wouldn't hurt to have some pressing accesories, but I don't think I need them yet.

>>35964130

Shit scary dream man

Makes me feel kind of glad I don't remember 99.9% of my dreams.

>>35963803
That's weird I'm tall with "long ass arms" ie albatross and mine are right around 8 and change

>>35964346
This is the first nightmare I've had in like 3 years, was probably the most vivid one I've had yet, I never remember most dreams I have, unless it's the last bit before I wake up

>>35964404
Do you have murderous tendencies all the time? Lol
>>35964405
>tfw we have pretty much the same wrist size

>>35964416
I've had a bizarre nightmare too. The ones when you cant do anything at all are the worst, like you're watching through your eyes but someone else is actually making you move. This one will probably make me sound like a pussy but whatever. Dreamt I fucked a girl in front of my girlfriend. I didn't want to do it but my body wasn't under my control at all. Woke up in a sweat. Was scared to fall asleep the whole day.

TL;DR: Had a nightmare about cucking my girlfriend

>>35964503

>>35962302
You've got a lot more options than that, they just might not be super easy to find.

>>35964530
>Been doing daily maxing recently
my nigga. glad to see it's working out alright for someone else. Have you thought about something like TM , so you could shift from daily maxing to weekly max effort stuff?

otherwise I know after I plateaued on daily maxing, c6w was terrific for me. could be something worth trying. then if that doesn't work for you, sheiko is a pretty sure bet for progress unless your initials are AJW

but yeah I would definitely say to check out c6w, speaking as someone who went to it after daily maxing stopped working for me and had really good progress on it

>>35965107

I'm not big into it. "The Lonesome Crowded West" / "MaA" are two of my all time favourite albums, but they never quite managed to capture it again for me.

I was reading last night that listening to music while lifting doesn't increase strength, but does increase endurance.

>>35965146
I don't know about that. Possibly both. I've definitely been able to go harder and longer with music, in situations where I definitely wouldn't have had the strength to do it, but that could have been from the adrenaline desu.

>>35962722

I feel like as a powerlifter, we're expected to like a certain subset of music, and we're never really given the chance to perhaps like something else when people form opinions of us.

I fucked up, reposted in non potato quality

No, you'll immediately keel over dead.

It's not optimal, but it's not a big deal.

Surprised nobody has mentioned ankle mobility

If your toes are coming off the ground even in oly shoes it's likely your ankle mobility is terrible. I would work on that and then your heels will probably stop coming off the ground.

>>35966200
one one hand, your arms barely moved
on the other, there's not really much room for them to move in the first place in this position
stop it, immediately. Please.

My comp set up has much more rom than this, just tried it out today for a bit of fun. I'm definitely not mobile enough nor do I have enough chest strength to press anything impressive with this form.

sleep tight bud

how do i progress after a full program is completed? What I mean is, how should I increase my maxes?

>>35966411
the programs have a skills test and a meet (or mock meet) built into it. ideally, you'll hit PRs on those days and use those as maxes going forward

>>35966425
Alright, I got it! Thank you very much, bud!

>>35966158
Yeah but also consider that your bar path is triple garbage with that form. You shouldn't quick draw analyze it because you tried it out. Properly trying something out is doing it for a cycle

>>35966482
I'm well aware of how shit my form is. My comp form is currently pinky on the rings. I intend on moving it out by a finger space every 12/16 week cycle and increasing my arch as I work on mobility.

So i was always confused why you wear a lifting belt for the bench press and today i finally found out why.

I wonder if you guys can give me a similar answer b4 i give it away

>>35966495
>form
Nah man your setup looks great and you look more stable than you probably thought, the only going problem was your bar path, which will more or less work itself out with more reps

>>35966521
As it is now, this set up is extremely weak compared to my comp one. The plan is to gradually move my grip out and increase my arch. I see no reason to rush the process.

What's your best comp bench?

>>35965881
holy fuck could he be balding any harder
pissening

>>35966551
163 @ 82.3, I've gotten 163.5 with red lights for butt lifting.

If I had to guess my current max peaked atm would be ~172.5

gott damn

you are objectively wrong. knees too far forward is a meme, and keeping them back will tilt his entire torso forward for no reason.

the simple answer is that (i hope you're still here)
>>35962666
your highbar form is terrible. You seem to be gripping the bar with no thumb around and in the wrong spot on your hand. you probably have poor shoulder flexibility. fix it. the bar should be resting in your hand similar to the bench press.

to find this position, take a pen. put it in your palm, perpendicular to your middle finger. press down on it. see how uncomforable that is? that's what you're doing. tilt the pen so that the end towards your pinky is tilted down. the pen should be pressing into the top of your thumb pad. this is where you hold the bar. during a squat set up, this will involve tilting your hands and arms essentially sideways. it will feel unnatural. your hands should be just outside shoulder width. if your flexibility is too poor, start further, and work your way in over time.

once you pull yourself under the bar, there will no longer be a moment arm caused by your bent hand. this will allow you to pull your traps closer together, much like a bench arch, and then pull the bar into your traps, using your lats much like you would in a pull up. this is the proper high bar position.

your heels are coming off the ground because you have poor ankle, hamstring, and glute flexibility (in order of relative important to this specific problem; each muscle should be flexible for other parts of the movement).

Your knees going forward is not a problem, and in fact the proper high-bar squat is preformed by bringing your ass in a straight line down (or as close to this as is physically possible; pulling down with your lats during the squat will help enforce this movement)

Your knees going forward is not a problem. However, they are collapsing severely. Your knees should always go out along the line of your toes (this also applies to sumo deadlift)

Youre both wrong. Abdominal pressure isnt needed really in the bench too.

>>35966621
Are you retarded?
