>tfw proportions mean mean my deadlift will forever be shit

>>34457721
they're also the reason your bench is good. chin up, stubby.

>>34457739
I know. But the deadlift is more important in a total than bench.

Ugh, weighing 190 at 5'7 and I feel like a tub of lard.

>>34457743
Nah, deadlift is extremely overrated. I'd say most important are squats and bench press, at least those are actual lifts and aren't just lifting a bar to your waistline.

>>34457721
At least having a light DL means you're unlikely to hurt yourself training it.

>>34457721
This is not true, I don't know why everyone thinks this

Obviously you won't be the best deadlifter but you can overcome your genetics well enough to still total decent numbers and pull decent numbers. If you think your genetics will stop you from ever being good, they will.

>>34457755
But what I'm saying is most people besides shw has deadlift as their biggest lift, and it contributes the most to the total of the 3.

>>34457680
I know fam. It just sucks. I already got a trap chick to fap with me on cam. So I'm already out of hte slump. not really

After deadlifts tmrow
I'm going out to the frats at my uni
gonna find the thickest kentucky fried hooker.
and fuck her in the ass

>>34457797
That's because it's the easiest lift out of all three. That's why it contributes the most.

I mean obviously I'm going to continue to train and progress, but I'll always know how much better it would be if I didn't have 4 more inches of ROM than most people who are successful.

>>34457804
Was getting aids a part of your plan?

>>34457812
I'm 6 inches taller than you and DL 175lb~ more, quit your leverage bitching.

Phil locks out quite high, same as Norsie.

>>34457812
Breh, even if the whole proportions meme were worth paying attention to, your proportions are still good for squatting. You just haven't figured out the lift yet. But I agree that it's not worth paying attention to at all

>>34457755
>wut

If you want to get technical, a deadlift is the only "real lift". Squats use a rack, bench also use a rack, deadlift is the only lift that doesn't require equipment.

And deadlifts are not overrated at all lol, I would argue that deadlifts are better for overall development than squats but I don't want to make anyone sperg out.

Saying the bench press is more of a lift than a deadlift, whatever that is even supposed to mean, is hilarious. You lay on your back and unrack a bar and move it to your chest and back up, it's considerably easier technique wise IMO.

Except for figuring out the most advantageous way to lift for your proportions

>>34457858
Something tells me you have a good deadlift but a shit bench.
>>34457834
I know I know lass. It's not like I'm just going to give up trying to get better.
I'm just feeling.

>Saying the bench press is more of a lift than a deadlift, whatever that is even supposed to mean, is hilarious. You lay on your back and unrack a bar and move it to your chest and back up, it's considerably easier technique wise IMO.
>Bench
>Easy technique
It's easily the most technical of the three lifts and is so heavily dependent on proper form.

>>34457915
Bench is harder technique wise than a squat or a deadlift? Interesting sentiment. Perhaps at a very advanced level but personally it took me a lot longer to squat and deadlift with relatively decent form than bench pressing did. I don't see how a bench is more technical but to each his own

>>34457915
to round out this "discussion" i'll just say squat is the most technical and best lift.
>it really is though

>>34457858
>it has a rack lol xd so it's not a real lift

Your logic is hilarious. By your logic, deadlift isn't a real lift because you're lifting a neatly placed metal bar instead of a baby hippopotamus.

>>34457948
Are you retarded? I was replying to a person who said a deadlift isn't an actual lift because you only lift it to your waistline, which is for most a much further bar path with a lot more weight than a bench press.

I never started the argument about real lifts you imbecile, they are all real lifts. Try reading

did cardio and now the muscle near my shins hurt

wow

devil's advocate perspective: none of bench, squat, or DL are remotely technical lifts and real men would be snatching

by the way, adipowers on sale on amazon, code NEW4FALL

>>34458083
>snatches

a snatch is literally part of a woman.

clean and jerk is the real mans movement.

>>34458083
I train for powerlifting and agree with this. Weightlifting is considerably more difficult and way more demanding technique wise. Anyone would be naive to disagree with that.

Not sure how either would make you a real man though, just different preference in sport.

>>34458095

>implying real men would clean when that's the woman's job

just the jerk, then

>>34458105

just trying to point out that discussing relative levels of 'technical proficiency' required for the big 3 are essentially a waste of time

>>34458127
I can agree with that, my perspective was never that one lift was better or more technical than the other, just originally wanted to point out that stating the deadlift is the most inferior lift of all as a previous anon did was somewhat laughable. As a weightlifter I'm sure you would agree that the deadlift is a necessary training tool even for you folk, whereas the bench press, not so much.

>>34458157
It's funny because weightlifters actually deadlift very little, if at all. They do bench press though.

>>34458170
The first pull in both lifts is off the floor, the range of motion in a bench press is literally irrelevant to both competition lifts

You are talking out of your ass

>>34458188
Weightlifters have their own exercises to train pulls, go ask an actual weightlifter if you don't believe me, they do very little deadlifting, and some coaches say to not deadlift at all because it in grains bad motor patterns when cleaning.

Bench press and squat racks are typical to see in a weightlifting gym for strength building though.

so on this day, am i actually supposed to do 100%+ for 2-3 sets? that seems kind of crazy. also would it be okay to use nose tork if my inputted maxes were done using nose tork?

>>34458777
Really? damn thats pretty good. Whats his BW?

>>34458946
Of course you're suppose to do over %100
How the hell do you think you progress?

>>34458946

Well yeah.

Because if you're going through Sheiko programming as expected, those maxes are anywhere up to four months old and should, realistically, be more around the 90-95% mark.

>>34458955
>>34458958
this isn't at the end of the cycle though, its on week 9 of 12, so only slightly over two months, and they were absolute maxes. maybe i'm underestimating how my progress has gone, i've been feeling very beat up but phil and avon have gotten good results, but i was wondering whether or not they did 2-3 top sets or just one. it seems like they just did one

>>34458946
What is you 100% won't be your 100% anymore. That's the whole idea, you move up instead of stalling on the same 1rm forever.

Why is it cool to progress slowly now?
I'm doing a program where I add a fractional plate once a year.

In 4 years I'll have added 2.5kg to all my lifts. Best that.

>>34458977
The fuck isn't that supposed to be the skill test? Why isn't it a single? You doing one of the old sheikos or someshit?

>>34458985
Literally nobody thinks slow progress is a good idea, except isley.

>>34459010
no its the newest under 80kg 3 day intermediate
that's why i'm confused like this isn't supposed to be meet day and 2-3 sets seems crazy

>>34459015
Everyone's running 5/3/1 and sheiko

>>34459016
Read the damn book

>>34459030
>Read the damn book
the sheiko book...?
and sheiko isn't really slow progress, it just has longer blocks. avon hit a 20lb PR in just one lift coming off of an injury in 9 weeks. that's pretty fast for someone that has a decent wilks.

>>34459016
Just checked, what the actual fuck. I'd just do the single at 100% + 1-5% if it feels good. The day is a "see what your openers should be day" and you should still be fatigued as balls coming off two prep blocks

>>34459016
phil and avon did the 80+ advanced routines cause they're not skinny bitchboi twinkies like you are
just do it how it's written, do not question sheiko's methods and results wil come

>>34459046
Read SS you noob

>>34459048
that's what i was thinking, thanks for confirming. do you have a suggestion on nose tork? probably shouldn't be a problem, no?

jesus christ plg has been shit the last two days.
>>34459056
so i should blindly go for 105% for 3 singles even if it brings me to failure? i mean i'll make a judgment call on the day but it seems out of place.

>>34459070
Nah don't know shit about nose tork, I'd be weary of using it for a max right away, if you never used it before though in case of misgrooving.
also you're clearly getting rused

>>34459086
i have used it in the past.
and yeah you're right

>>34459382
Some things are just obvious. When a guy is hitting 750 on any lift, then I have every reason to believe he's not natty. There is not a single account of somebody natty actually lifting that much. Do you really need a fucking scientist to tell you the sky's blue?

i'm not saying he is natty i'm just saying that you should withhold your negative comments until he fails a drug test. i'm fully aware that the chance of him being natty is pretty infinitesimally small. maybe he didn't want to compete internationally until he was sure he could win and this year is going to be the year he does so. i don't really think it makes a difference because he still gets OOC tested right?

IRL she is attractive. Overall pretty strong, fast learner and looks like she lifts. Back squats are her best lift, followed by deadlifts. Very enthusiastic and has a positive outlook on life.

Go to your local swimming pool and just relax or do some slow swimming. Swimming has been shown to have a recovery effect on aching joints, even sheiko recommends it.

bruh

Two days out lads. First one ever. Shoot me some tips pls

>>34460582
Make sure your back is straight at all times. Will pay off later on when your lower back doesn't hurt.

>>34460126
Tried benching to a 6 cm block today and hit 4 reps at 100% and 2 at 105% felt good tbh

>>34458836
Not speculating: there's pretty heavy use among cops, really heavy use among SF types, and decently high use by regular infantry types.

>>34460582
Go 9/9 only whites lights that way you will get alot of confidence to your mext meet. Remember that whatever weights you hit will be PRs so pick weights you are sure you can hit. Don't go 5/9 like i did( didn't listen to calls very good)

>>34459016
It's a few circamax singles lad, not full-on kill yourself grinders (hopefully)

>>34459407
That's not exactly a side effect tbf

>>34460582
>>34460613
>>34460692


Thanks lads. Question, though. It's a USAPL meet, can I roll the bar forward before I pull? It's a part of my setup with maximal effort stuff

>>34460750
Yes you can. Your deadlift attempt only begins when you make an earnest attempt to lift the bar from the ground.

>>34460750
Yes

>>34460750
>>34460756
>>34460758
Mind if I talk to ya'll about openers? Just kind of want someone that knows what they are doing to go over it. I don't have a coach or anything of that sort

>>34460750
Rolling the bar is asking for problems, an inconsistent start point isnt optimal

>>34459016
So what youre saying is youve made zero progress in your training cycle so youre scared to try and hit new weights

>>34460769
Something you can hit for a comfy double/triple

>testing how squats feel after a hip injury by doing paused 2plate singles
>Classmate comes up and congratulates me for my squat strength

Such is life outside fit.

>>34460769
For an opener you want a weight you absolutely know you can hit for a triple. You've got 2 more attempts to jack it up, first attempt is all about getting on the board.

>>34460813
>tfw setting 3 meet prs and total pr with openers

>>34460778
It's not a huge roll like a lot of guys have. A few inches tops. I do it to tighten my back up. Feels better. Too late to correct anything now.
>>34460789
How do I decide going up from there? Just how it feels?
>>34460813
So for my first meet I should essentially just be trying to go 9/9 to gain momentum/confidence for my next meet?

Thank you lads for the responses. Appreciated.

>>34460833
2nd attempt small pr 3rd attempt whatever

>>34460273
;p

>>34460819
A good feel no doubt about it.

>>34460833
>So for my first meet I should essentially just be trying to go 9/9 to gain momentum/confidence for my next meet?
Yes, try and push yourself hard but if you feel like you cannot hit something then don't go for it.

Here is rough outline of how much to increase attempts;
Bench: 5-10kg (usually closer to 5 unless it feels REALLY easy)
Squat: 10-15 (usually closer to 10)
Deadlift: 10-20 (usually around 15)

>>34458339
Isley is going as last place

>>34460885
>cue supahot reaction gif

>>34460819
Same. And I'll still be disappointed.

>>34460885
I thought he was going as a confused rower at a powerlifting meet

>>34460948
Why? Pr is a pr

>>34460833
90-91% for first, 95-96% for second and 100-102% for 3rd has worked well for me so far. Percentages are based off a reasonable goal max. For example, last meet I did 413/435/457 based off a 430 tested max and 457 goal max.

>>34461064
Maybe I'll feel strong at 500 Wilks

>>34461115
Thats a huge number

In the bigger classes a 500 is a roid number

>>34461156
>In the bigger classes
heh

>>34459152
Layne Norton did the same thing. There are a few ways of peaking generally. In sheiko you've been held down by fatigue for so long that when the volume decreases you supercompensate, hit your skills test, then roughly maintain until the comp. Other training styles which may not leave the athlete with as much residual fatigue going into the last 4-6 weeks before the comp will MURDER themselves with lots of heavy sets so they have something to taper heavily from, thus supercompensating for the competition.

>>34461156
500 wilks is easier to get in bigger classes than middle classes

>>34461178
Absolute weight shoots up

850 at 110 is 500 wilks iirc

>>34460819
That's a sweet feel. That'll be how I feel in my next comp.

>>34461194
500 wilks is easier to get in bigger classes than middle classes, it's literally statistics

>>34461217
Im not saying the equation doesnt favour

Im saying 850 is a daunting figure

>>34461473
I don't think any generalized programs use it, but Layne Norton used it in his prep leading up to worlds last year where he broke the WR Squat. Generally it's kind of risky and a coach is required.

Alot of people here on plg have just reached legal drinking age in their country, so they aren't bored with it yet.

>>34462164
I'd like to see more variance in the load. Your volume barely changes across the cycle, your number of lifts (NOL), barely changes as well. The percentages look kind of high, like doing a set of 5 with 85% after deadlifting 90+%. Generally I'd reduce the amount of 90% lifts 5/6 weeks.

So pull a few heavy singles, then next time you deadlift actually try a bit of volume and see how it feels. If you're seriously thinking about switching or at least testing it, try maybe six weeks or so and see where you're at.
