It's this beta faggot again.

Does anybody here autoregulate their training?

I've just been going to the gym lately every other day. I do full body and just pick a couple big compounds and use Greg Nuckols progression idea for intermediates.

I work up to a 3 - 10 rep max, then I drop a couple of reps and stay at the same weight and do sets every couple minutes until I get tired. Is there anything wrong with this kind of training long-term?

I'm doing dips 3xF on upper days
Should I do them weighted? Especially on bench intensity days

>>42016477
do you do only 2 exercises per day?

>>42016477
if youre strong enough to do weighted high reps then sure

you prob need some pulling in there m8

>>42016493
not same anon but if you do paused deadlifts (1 pause?) and chinup is it enough?

>>42016539
with that amount of pressing not really, youre eventually get imbalances and snap something

Are the Nuclocks programs just a template for the main lift, can i add rows and shit to them?

They seem to just be bench and curl that all for the day, i am used to much more volume.

he says not to but in my experience you can for sure

>>42016492

I also do chins, dips and pullups and sometimes rows but I don't keep track of them

Anyone have experience of running smolov for squat and smolov jr for bench at the same time?

>>42016703
the curls are for elbow health, but yeah you can do whatever you want. i did the 3x int bench with the c6w accessories (taking the second bench day light)

>>42016477
Answering your question, sure, do them weighted on ID. Looking at your template, do not do this version, it's even presented in PP as "well you 'could' do it this way but it's probably not going to be very effective."

>>42017498
This is what i was planning to do.

Walking in the gym to do a light 5x5 and 4 sets a curls is not a workout.

Can't do regular grip bench or wide grip anything since I'm recovering from an injury.
Haven't trained chest because of that for half a year.
What exercises can I do that work my chest that doesn't use wide grip and kinda keeps my arms close to my body?

Officially signed up and 16 weeks out from my next meet lads. Looking to break a 600 total. Super hyped

>>42017689
Medium grip, dumbbells, dips...

>>42017940
I have literally never hit all the reps on the 3x8, I think it's just a practical joke

>>42017976
I never missed any reps, you just don't try hard enough

>>42016477
i would say it depends on how you dip. if you grip narrow grip (and stay upright) it hits more of the same muscles as ohp, if you do wide grip leaning forward its more like bench. so the latter, for example, i would do on bench ID.

>>42017642
feigenbaum recommends that template over a regular tm though

>>42017984
We've all seen your "paused" bench, guy

>>42017976

I did that program for 3 months. Pretty sure I was the first person here to do it. I never had a problem with that day. The last set of 8 was always RPE 9ish.

>>42018007
Which is why I didn't miss any bench attempts due to missing commands in competition, right?

>>42018033
Congrats, you didn't bomb due to retardation

>>42018080
My bench is still going up, I'm not too worried about how hard I try

>>42017940
i only missed reps once on that day, but i was having a bad day overall

it's very doable, just take at least 3 minutes between sets and use a reasonable training max

>>42018360
The 4 sessions before this one felt unbelievably brutal with my hips and knees killing me after. I think I just wasn't sleeping enough, because I feel fine now, even though the first part of this session was pretty hard due to the super set.

What you guys think of high reps, lower weights hypertrophy training? Does it work better in building muscles then training for strength.

A lot of people claim that if you natty and want to get huge then get as strong as possible.

I think i want aesthetics more then strength desu

>>42018507
Wrong thread but I'll spoonfeed you. Open up!

>>42018507

Yes. Time under tension is key. You can do a quick concentric and a slow, controlled eccentric in most exercises (~4s on the eccentric phase) and your objetive is to get to 45s-60s under tension. Assuming you don't rest at all and do the concentric counterpart in one second, each rep will be about 5 seconds. If you do 10, you're still under the golden threshold. If you manage 12, you're at the upper limit for hypertrophy. Both are great.

Use weights, but do NOT compromise rep number for weight. If you can do 10 reps under X but only 8 under X+Y, then do the first exercise and focus on a good execution.

>saw a personal trainer teaching someone how to ohp
>Told them to use a wide grip, start with the bar in front of then, cock their wrists back, and have soft knees

>>42018781
I don't even know but it was fucking infuriating to watch. I tried to intervene but the PT shrugged me off. I had to intervene with him teaching the poor guy to bench a couple weeks ago.

can anyone recommend any introductory stretches for a novice? looking for something to target lower back especially

Could need some help lads.

Been doing Starting Strength for 8 months, had several months of due to sickness so lost a lot of progress a lot of times. I still feel like i got more progressive overload that is possible but due to stress and poor sleep i cant' keep doing Starting Strength as it burns the fuck out. Especially squats and deads. I am 28 years old.

My lifts are
110kilo squat x5
125kilo deadlift x5
67kilo bench x5
50kilo OHP x5
60kilo Power Clean x5

The original idea was to jump on Texas Method or something of that nature from Practical Programming third edition but seeing as recovery is a problem already on SS, i have no chance at all to possibly do that. So now i am thinking that it would be better to switch to a routine that focuses more on hypertrophy and less on heavy compound movements as heavy compounds stresses the nervous system more and requires more recovery. I want to switch to hypertrophy routine with 4 training days a week, hopefully something that is easier on the recovery then SS, and after i fixed the life circumstances that is giving me stress and poor sleep i'll go back to powerlifting style, either finish up Starting Strength or do some Texas Method variation. Does this sound like a reasonable thing to do?

post 1 of 2

>>42018927
You switch to Texas exactly BECAUSE you can't recover on SS anymore.

>>42018927
>Why hypertrophy and decreasing heavy compound movements?


From https://www.strongerbyscience.com/complete-strength-training-guide/

>Keep volume for your main lifts low to moderate, and stay at least 1-2 reps shy of failure at all times (avoiding technical failure). You don’t need a ton of high quality, heavy work to maintain and improve neural factors, but getting the bulk of your training volume from your main lifts will generally beat you up a bit more, and limit how much total training volume you can handle per session and per week.

>Get the bulk of your training volume from accessory lifts for all major muscle groups, with sets of 6-15 reps, training each muscle/movement 2-3 times per week for 4-6 sets (or 40-70 total reps) per session. I recommend accessory lifts over lighter sets of squat, bench, and deadlift to cut down on risk of overuse injuries, and to keep training specificity high for the main lifts (since lifting heavy stuff for low reps and lighter stuff for higher reps are different skills, you don’t want to “water down” the motor learning you’re doing your main lifts, unless you’re splitting your training into more distinct phases, as we’ll discuss later).

^This is basically the reasoning behind jumping to a routine that focuses less on heavy compounds and more on accessory exercises and volume.

Does this seem logical?
Any suggestion for routine?

It's just linear progression but dressed up in loads of volume and changing weight on the bar between sets. Good for people bored with SS but can still make gains on linear program. Also has you going to the gym everyday which is a pro for a lot of people

>>42019105
What kind of programming are you using now, after RTS?

>>42018927
>>42018980
So this is further down the article

If you want to get into the nitty gritty a bit more, there are already articles on Strengtheory about how lack of sleep makes it harder to lose fat and gain muscle, and about how chronic stress literally doubles how long it takes you to recover from lifting.

But right now, we can keep it simple. Training is like having a conversation with your body. You give it the message that it needs to get bigger and stronger via stress on the muscles, bones, and connective tissue. You hope it will respond to that message appropriately. But when stress builds up and you’re not sleeping enough (which is a stressor of its own, which also compounds the effects of whatever chronic stress you’re under), you’re effectively sending your body mixed messages, telling it that it should both tear itself down and build itself up.

The end result is something similar to the multitasking scenario from earlier. It doesn’t do a very good job getting bigger and stronger, and the training stress makes you less able to cope with the stressors of day-to-day life and lack of sleep until eventually your body is so worn down that you completely burn out, often resulting in some sort of sickness or infection; when your body’s ability to respond to threats is overwhelmed, bacteria or viruses that would usually be stopped cold by your immune system are able to multiply enough that you wind up sick with a cold, flu, or respiratory infection.

This literally keeps happening to me. I keep getting flues and infections. I have a respiratory infection and fever right now actually.

You're probably going to get stronger by fucking around.

>>42019181
Rack the bar on your delts and not on your windpipe

I was at the gym today, warming up for deadlifts at the end of my workout, as usual. I noticed this skinny beta looking dude walk in, his quads indicated he lifts but his upperbody looked like he was straight outta chemotherapy. Whatever right? So I let it be and went back to deadlifting.
Today was my skill test and I had planned to pull my first 600lbs deadlift, my warm ups were going up relatively fast (for sheiko!), and I felt pretty good. All the while however I notice that beta looking dude is walking around the deadlift platform like a Jaws, constantly pacing back and forth and occasionally looking up at me. I ask him if he wants anything? He literally pretends to take out an ear bud and goes "hm?", so patiently I ask him if he wants anything, he mumbled when he spoke and I hardly caught what he said, but I got the jist that he was waiting for the deadlift platform. (The gym was plastically empty, he could have just done something else instead of swarming me?) I sighed a little and asked him if he wants to work in? He told me he'll just wait, so I bit my tongue and let him continue to circle the platform.
Soon came my 600lbs pull, (bare in mind I'm 180lbs soaking wet, so this is quite an accomplishment for me). At this point the dude stood in place and begun watching, whatever, nothing unusual right?
Well I get hyped up, throw on my belt and a little chalk and I pull. Thank Mr Boris because the weight fucking fleeeew. I let the bar fall down from the knee and made very little noise doing so.
This however seemed to upset my little orbiter, he made a sly remark about how "sumo is easy and I hardly lifted moved the bar". I literally said " well, your turn to deadlift now, perhaps you should give sumo a go if you'd like to move some heavy weights". He fucking chimped out and me so I walked away.

Then guess what... I saw him cat back pull 160kg for 5 reps! FIVE REPS. And that was it! He did one set of FIVE REPS AT 160KG.

>>42019560
its a long story but my physio allowed me to continue to lift just as long as I lift in a certain way(form wise) obviously when going for an absolute maximum the chance of breaking form is very high

Is Texas Method good if you want some hypertrophy besides strength? I like the system, but I don't know how to add some extra body building movements, I never did cleans before neither. I'm getting middle intermediate and I can't do 3x5 box squats and deadlifts in the same day anymore because I can't progress with that much of a load at the same time.

Wait when did IZLEE get good at bench, i thought his max was like 120kg.

>>42020049
They're great if you try hard and pray harder

fuck
it's almost 1 AM
and i need to go lift "tomorrow" at 6:30 AM
every fucking time

why is shitposting so fun lads?

>>42020070
>Izlee
>Good at bench
His bench increased when he went to 105. He's still not good though, just not absolute garbage.

>>42020134
Kinda related so I wanna jump in.

Why is it natural benchers always bench really wide but the unnatural guys always bench with a close grip?

I find I'm better with a closer grip but I'm natural so I'm confused af

I watched some lol fed guy bench 660lbs close grip today

>>42020134
He must have a max of 150-160kg, thats pretty decent for a GDE.

>>42020162
Big guys can improve their leverages by resting their forearms on their biceps, and triceps on their lats.

Nattys are never that big so cant do this, and a lot of guys want to improve their bench by lowering the ROM.

>>42020162
Roidaroos, at least from what I've seen, build the fuck out of their triceps so they benefit from a narrower grip. This could be wrong but I'm just stating what I've personally seen.

>>42020168
He's done 150 ooc

>>42017876

I've noticed this too, I can't go close grip anymore, wide grip only now after my pec tear (2 years ago) otherwise I get pain in the area I tore.

>>42020162
because closegrip is actually the strongest grip width

the thing is the more mass you have on your torso the less ROM you have on the bench, so bigger guys dont need to cut their ROM

my deadlift goes to complete shit relative to the rest of the lifts when im somewhat fatigued.

is this normal?

Can anyone gimme some thoughts on the Cowboy Method?
Accessories?
Already read the pdf just want some personal anecdotes.

Im doing 255lbs 3x5 box squats at 165lbs bw (5'10). The strength standars of regular squats (which are a lot easier) tells me that im past intermediate, the thing is that I don't know if I should switch now to an intermediate, or keep bulking since I'm pretty light. I've failed 3 times now at the box squats eating at a surplus. It is time to switch?

>>42020162
#1 roids let you pack insane mass onto triceps
#2 this works for chest and shoulders too, but they are more vulnerable over time with very heavy weights, leaving many previously injured roiding benchers with no real choice but to use a very tricep dominant benching style, which they can still excel at due to #1

also there are a lot of reasons why close grip might feel better, it does for me too, although I still feel im objectively like 5% stronger with a more medium grip, it just feels weaker. there are also a lot of strong natties with a closer grip, a new IPF bench record was set recently with a 277.5kg press from a guy with a pretty damn close grip

>>42018993
Stalling on daily progression doesn't mean you hit some limit, just switch to weekly (TM)
>>42019036
Isn't it more comparable to GZCL, PHUL and other 4 day weekly programs?
It's 4 day, not every day, and it's weekly, not like SS
>>42019470
Sweet. Stats?

what do people think about Mike Isratel's stuff on maximum recoverable volume, and increasing sets/week until performance goes down to find what sort of volumes you should do?

people say volume is the most important training variable for progress, but why do most programs do progressive overload on intensity, not volume (or both) then?

200 is actually a conventional pb so that would be my first actually improvement in over a year. nice i guess,

Lifts put me at 500kg total at 93kg. Hopefully get that to 550kg with a nice round of sheiko when i get back from sailing comps.

Dropping your hips right before you pull like you do is pushing the bar out in front of your mid foot, making it harder for you off the floor.

Are Inzer and Titan belts the same?

Also, what is the difference between those US$250,00+ belts to those US$70,00~US$90,00 belts?

>>42022995
Basically. I have a 13mm inzer and a 10mm titan. They're both good. I rarely use the Titan but that's just because I prefer the 13mm

Not sure what you're talking about in the second question

>>42023072
>Not sure what you're talking about in the second question
there are belts that cost over US$250,00 and there are belts that cost US$70,00~US$90,00
what is the difference between those

>>42023077
What belt costs 250?

Just get an inzer or Titan they are both as good as it gets and around 90

>>42023077

Quality of make, and legality. When the IPF charges manufacturers their dues to retain legality in the IPF, the manufacturer has to pass that cost onto us, the consumer.

Titan and Inzer Belts are not the same, but both make a fine belt. The more expensive belts you're talking about are probably Wahlanders or SBDs. Both are fine belts, but overpriced imho.

I don't think any belts other than Titan, Inzer, SBD, or Wahlander are worth buying if you're serious about the sport of powerlifting.

If you're not planning on competing, pretty much any leather, non-tapered belt will do.

Though I fucked my calves and ankles going for a run. So I might choose to take an extra rest day after I warm up.

>>42023092
there are some belts in the titan site that cost that much
like this one https://titansupport.com/product/brahma-inset-oiled-leather-with-genuine-snake-skin-prong-belt/ (all others are giving 403 error here)
is it only because of the snake thing?
>>42023112

>>42023139
Don't buy that

Get the brahma or whatever their 13mm is called.

Or get a 10mm if you want but I prefer a 13

>>42023169
Just noticed that is also a brahma lol

Just get the basic one that's around 90 bucks

>>42023112
What exactly makes you say Titan and inzer are not the same? Because they pretty much are

>>42023139

Fuckin, duh, lad. Of course snake skin is gonna be more expensive; have you never looked at boots before?

That belt is fly as fuck tho I really want it now.

>>42023224

Pretty much, but not exactly. Different rivet and stitching patterns, as well as the fact that Titan offers a lot more in the way of variety. I personally chose Inzer after getting a good look at both, but both make great belts. I would steer clear of Titan's Toro though.

>>42023261
Oh yeah definitely agree with you on the customization aspect. I guess I was just thinking from a performance standpoint they are pretty much identical

>>42023308

You could probably argue that all belts are identical from a performance standpoint

Well, this was fun, but the rest of /fit/ fuckin bummed me out.

Don't listen to this fool. BestBelts are IPF approved (last I looked, the IPF is a clown show), and as good as any other belt.

Really, any belt that's 3-4 inches "tall" (torso-lets and girls might prefer a 3'' belt), 10-13mm thick (based on preference mostly), and not tapered like a complete piece of shit is a perfectly fine belt. The Rogue Echo cheapo belt is a fine belt if you don't care that Rogue didn't give the IPF enough of a blowjob to get it on the white list.

Im running jr for bench and squats, i do them both on the same day and i haven't been doing any other exercises besides pull-ups occasionally. I've never run smolov but I'd imagine itd be more taxing that running two jr cycles at the same time, but it is possible if you plan your rest days accordingly and eat at a signifigant surplus with impeccable meal timing and avoid doing deadlifts or any extra assistant work.
