>>41615063
Build it with spotoshot then peak it with smolov jr. You'll either bench a lot or cripple yourself.

Lads I kind of want to do hepburn for my lower body programming and something memeworthy for upper body. Should I give spotoshot a try? Or are there other memes im unaware of

Is it normal to have either plateaued or regressed on every lift during a 2 month cut dropping 7 kg?

>>41616029
Yeah but 2 days a week isnt enough frequency for my shit bench. I havent made progress with anything less than 4x in over a year

What's best: linear, block or undulating periodization?

>>41616059
Any of them can be good. There is no better

Is there a weight where the 10x3 squats in week 2 of c6w aren't viable? I've been making good progress but it seems like at a higher weight that's just too much volume

>>41615103

>>41616078
Dunno how much are you lifting?

My max is 195kg and personally i find week 1 harder than 2, the 10 reps are not that hard i take 90 seconds between each set.

SL 5x5 or Candito Linear Program

Just saying because Candito's looks like it has more accessory type exercises involved, PLUS I GET TO GO TO THE GYM 4 DAYS A WEEK INSTEAD OF 3

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO FOR THE OTHER 4 FUCKING DAYS, MY LIFE WILL BE IN SHAMBLES

also found this SL variation on a WIKI

what to do what to do what to do

Is a 7 plate DL reasonable for a natty 220lb lifter? I never really see many people on here who pull like 700lb

I can rep 5plate for 5, and max at 250kg so im like 10kg of 6 plate and i still feel like an intermediate with plenty of room to progress.

>>41616466
of course it is... 3xBW is just average on DL

>>41616466
Isley hovers around 102 kg or so and he's pulled 300 kg raw many times.

>>41616484
Shame about his squat, bench, power clean, overhead press and literally anything frog can do

>>41616521
Frog can't bench what Isley can, but yeah, basically. You're also comparing the poster child for GDEs with the poster child for goat genetics and proportions.

Anyone have experience with joey flexx or TSA as a pl coach? Im debating getting a coach and can't decide between the two. I may just be a lazy shit and email both and hire whoever is cheaper

>>41616544
You do realise frog can bench 4pl8 right? He's putting on a show to make it seem like he broke a huge bench plateau and made super fast gains so he can sell shaker bottles and e-books

I've seen it all before

>>41615270
Yoooo

>>41616059
Fundulation a best

>>41616405
Either is fine. If you're literally brand new, give SS an honest couple of months then give Candiddler's a shot

>>41616558
From what I've seen of the two their programming does not look dissimilar, somewhat high intensity, plenty of focus on the comp lifts for the majority of your volume. They're both reputable desu.

Can anyone explain spotoshot to me?

Each day says to do 5 sets at RPE 9 at a weight you can do at least 15 reps.

It also says to add 5kg every session and deload when you can do <3 reps.

So he wants you to add 20kg per week to your 15+ rep bench? Where does the <3 come into it if you are always doing at least 15 reps?

Am I missing something or is Spoto just a complete nonce?

>>41616614
You've bamboozled yourself.

>>41616614
You start off with a weight you can do for 15+ reps. As you add weight the reps will slowly taper as a consequence of adding weight.

>>41616681
I know, friend. I must be on that low IQ time.

>>41616690
Ahh gotcha, just from the image it says 15+ reps after every workout. Thanks for explaining.

>>41616703
Also the progressions for spoto press and slingshot bench are different, you're only adding 10 kg to each a week.

>>41616703
I made that image (the post more specifically)

Post it and I'll explain what you don't understand

>>41616613
Any chance you know hoe expensive they are? Or any reccomendations on other coaches?

>>41616872
How*

>>41616337
i guess ive got room to grow then, max right now is only about 142kg/315lbs.

week 1 was a real bitch, especially deadlifts for some reason, but the 10x3 here always intimidates me a little bit

>>41616872
No, not really. RTS guided programming seems kinda pricey, Izlee and underscore if he shows up would be the ones to ask.

>>41616405
Not to be a dink but I'd seriously consider Starting Strength if you're beginning (read the book though, the exercise lists floating around the net masquerading as SS are not what SS actually is).

My friend and I both took our deadlifts from 185# to 405# in 21-23 weeks on it and we're not great athletes at all.

>>41618975
They will detect it if someone is on right then and there. Might leave the body faster than traditional methods though.

If you were squatting every other day, how often would you pull?

Do you only squat once every two weeks?
The last time I had doms was the first time I did c6w. But, seriously, if you're getting doms, either you're not powerlifting or you're doing it wrong.

What do you guys do to freshen yourselves up before the gym? Been feeling really tired the last couple of days despite sleeping well.

>>41622746
If Im squatting, I dont worry about it. I know I'll be able to get fired up when it gets to my working sets regardless of how I feel

2 times a week, C6W.

My squat is pretty weak for time lifting (190kg x 1) i have only been able to squat properly for last 6 months after 5 months recovery from a back injury.

I get doms from every workout t b h, since im lifting heavier weights each cycle.

Sean trained his arms one time too many and now he literally has no biceps or triceps. Just noodles between his shoulder and elbow.

My shaker unironically smells like S*an

>>41623076
Even if training the arms directly had benefits for size still could argue that training arms is a waste of time. Training the arms directly increases the chance of injuries and thus wasting your time not getting stronger; plenty of guys tearing their bicep doing bicep curls, plenty of guys getting elbow tendinitis off of tricep extensions
>>41623134
how much you strict curl

>>41623533
youre an idiot. people who tear their bicep curling are ego lifting heavy weight on a movement that doesnt need it. people doing curls normally are at no risk from that. curls literally fix elbow tendinitis. the reason extensions give you tendonitis is because you werent doing curls and your triceps are disproportionate to bicep. the same thing can happen if you have high bench frequency. can we please just not have this argument again. its stupid

>>41623613
clearly have never seen a guy curling casually and then ripping his tendon

also what you said about triceps is wrong. People here already do a fuckload of pressing adding tricep ext will only lead to tenditinis no amount if curls will fix that

And even if you do a fuckload of curls to balance it out youre still wasting time lmao training arms is for dummies

If you're not benching at least 375 lb at any body weight natural after a couple of years of training, then no amount of steroids and training is going to take you above 500 pounds

Serves him right for squatting with the bar halfway down his back and his little noodle arms cranked back so far

If you have squatting in a proper cage that had safety straps he could have bailed that and probably been okay

I had the same issue when doing some dead hangs. Lay down for a bit and do some side planks and curl ups imo

Also because I'm a dumbass I'm going to try to lift through it. Doesn't appear to have gotten any worse during warm ups thankfully.

>>41626365
It does little to numb the pain, unfortunately

>>41626366
I was laying down for like 2+ hours senpai, only way to really get at it with heat

Dewd, don't push your luck.

>>41626489
Squats actually feel pretty ok, kinda hard though. Bench will probably be better since my back will have something to brace against when doing the movement

Should I take a week off all physical exercise? I'm so bloody fatigued and injured from overworking.

I'm coming close to my meet though and don't want to lose any progress so close before.

Deloading isn't working either...

Do I just lay here until I rot??

>>41626754
You should start your own blog. Maybe Tumblr. I'm sure there are plenty of pathetic fat bitches that would listen to you and give you validation for your sad feelings.

People with low willpower need to help each other out, so you should go check out Tumblr and cry it out like a bitch

>>41626830
Make me one and I'll gladly complain there
How about you stop being an edgy faggot and learn some camaraderie, help your fellow man you know? Perhaps dedicate some of your time into others and improve your surroundings rather than complain about them?

Jk I'm not a faggot

>>41627019
Thanks babe, means a lot :)

Just realised pounding balloon knot means anal

Omfg how did I not get this

I think I have quad tendonitis.

My right leg hurts above the knee, but it's bearable as long as I warm up properly.

My left leg feels 'off' and it clicks every time I go past parallel, even with no weight.

It also feels like there's a lump there, near my kneecap, and I can feel it pop in and out as my knee bends.

What do I do about this?

>>41614918

>>41627192

Are you sure it's not Osgood-Schlatter (sp?)

>>41627192
If you're not already, foam roll your legs. Get all sides of it, quads, adductors, IT band, hamstrings, etc.

>>41627192
My knee started clicking recently too, and a little while passed and it started to feel soggy and then hurt a little. For my what helped was fixing mi ankle-angle from having flat feet and stop moving the knee too far out (opposite of Isley-squat)

>>41627192
Fr is right. Sounds like Osgood. How old are you?

>>41627207
pretty sure its a dog m8

>>41627114
Ironically you did not get it because you are a gay virgin

>>41627390
That makes no sense care to explain?

Never heard of it, I'll look into that thanks.

>>41627252
Thanks.
I do at the moment, but probably not enough.

>>41627269
25.

I recently switched from low bar to high bar squatting, and at the same time increased my squatting volume a lot.

It's a recent thing, I've been low bar squatting for years with no problem.

>>41627426
It's usually something young people get. If pain is consistent just see a doctor.

>My right leg hurts above the knee, but it's bearable as long as I warm up properly.
My tendonitis was just above the knee. It came gradually over some weeks of being extra tight, then one day it was just excrutiating and I couldn't squat for several months.
Back off before it develops any further imho.

So do I

Whenever I train my core it gets fatigued / doesn't work properly. I've strained my abs about 4 times now and now my abs are kinda weak and every time I try and work them they stop working for several days after.

I've broken them and don't know what to do;_;

One month or so without lifting, master thesis postponed, need to shed a few but no lifting and all working makes it nearly impossible, so overall not feeling too swell.

Tell me about the good life.

>>41615298
How

>>41616317
Try seated military press instead

GZCLL or 5/3/1 for new Powerlifter?
My Bench and overhead press are pretty poor/intermediate.
My squat and deadlift are advanced so not fussed on them as much.

>>41627904
>Couple sets in
Fuck these are fun, I should have done these earlier. Almost doing the full stack though, so progression seems like it will be limited :(

Breh it's nice. Semester ended well, working normal hours is soooooo nice. My job is pretty chill, and having a gf finally is very cool (((so far))).

Lifting is going pretty well too. I have 90% singles this week and squat and bench were both ezpz, doing deadlift today and hopefully that'll follow. Technique in all 3 lifts feels good too. Really getting my hopes waaayyyyyy too high for the August competition.

Why does benchletism exist? Are benchlets just not trying hard enough and doing too little tricep work?

That's fucking great tho. That'll land you a job in no time.

Whenever I train my core it gets fatigued / doesn't work properly. I've strained my abs about 4 times now and now my abs are kinda weak and every time I try and work them they stop working for several days after.

I've broken them and don't know what to do;_;

>>41628092
I blame it on my fucked up back and shoulders. Try benching when curving your back causes you pain and your one shoulder is like 7cm lower than the other. Just pretty much imagine quasimodo benching.

>>41628197
Ye I hope so. I worked there summer and fall of last year and they invited me back for this year so they must like me at least a little bit lel

does anyone else here get sore neck muscles after squatting/deadlifting relatively heavy

>>41628092
I have short arms, a large rib cage, and I don't even have whack form

But my bench has always been my weakest lift because my chest just doesn't grow.

>>41628092
Benchletism exists because not enough people run spotoshot.

When should i be ready to start doing 5/3/1? Like, what should my lifts look like?

Also, will i still make the same strength gains if i do the BBB version instead of the regular one?

>>41628953
Imo 5/3/1 should be reserved for people who are focusing on other sports or have a really tough manual labor job. However, if you're a fairly advanced lifter it isn't the worst option. Lifts shouldn't be considered through numbers since different people hit different numbers at different speeds. It should be based on ability to progress.

BBB has higher volume, but the meaningful volume from them doesn't kick in until you work your way up to variant 2 imo. However, it's still better than doing the jack shit variant.

Is it bad if your back rounds a bit when deadlifting over 90% of your 1RM?

Like, my current 1RM is 440lbs and i can only seem to keep my back perfectly straight when pulling 400lbs max. Anything above that my back starts rounding a bit

I am in lots of pain

Is glute activation for better squats a meme or what? What is the consensus?

It is honestly getting boring and I am plateauing hard

>>41629443
If you're plateauing then move on. Its not rocket science.
Move onto Texas method and don't over think it.

Why do threads last 2 days again

>>41629513
No trappy chan spamming

>>41629443
Just do Texas method for squats and deads and Greg Nichols 3x beginner + accessories for bench

Just got my copy of Practical Programming for Strength Training third edition, lads. Am I in for a wild ride?

>>41629107
Upper back rounding isn't a big deal, just don't let your lower back round

>>41629784
You gotta stop buying books that are free in the Google Dropbox lol
I've read it already, to summarise: do sets of 3 and reps of 5

>>41629107
It's ok, a lot of us are just round back pullers

Oooh we're nearing a new thread. I wonder what the picture will be.

>>41629443

How tall are you, what do you weight, what are your lifts, and how long have you been training?

>>41629455

Texas Method is, as a standard, based on 5x5.

>>41629935
And? Why did you feel the need to say that trappy?

someone make a new fred

>>41623303
get cheap sleeves m8, will save you some medical bills

>>41629955

Because he suggested a dude who was stalling on 5x5 move onto the Texas Method. TM isn't necessarily 5x5, especially if a trainee is older or female, but it still almost always is.

>>41623692
His goal right now is to get his blood pressure low enough to have a reasonable chance of surviving to see his grand kids

>>41630133
But there are so many ways to accumulate volume that are way more enjoyable than a 5x5 (8x3, 6x4, etc). I think he just meant 5x5 in terms of doing 5x5 every session, which TM definitely is not.
