I'd say "no". Language, and it's kinda boring in parts.

When in doubt, review the kekoo's movies yourself. I assume you have plenty of time to do so while your wife goes out and fucks other men.

What made you choose power lifting over weightlifting? Honest question, not trying to troll, just adding on to the discussion in the previous thread since you guys seem to be interested in both sports.

alt check your lifts vs classification charts on the forums and pick based on that

>>34843283
Sheiko, enjoy 3kg to your total every year though.

>>34843203
if i literally dropped everything and started working on it constantly (and my situation didn't change, no coach), in like, 1 year from now I could probably get a 60 kg snatch and maybe a 120 kg C&J.

if i spent the next 5 years working on it, I could maybe get to a 100 snatch and a 170-180 C&J.

maybe.

>>34843304
more than that. but stilll not much. probably something like 15 kg every year if the entire year was dedicated to it.

>>34843159

>>34843353
>>34843357
yeah, I can literally retard straight leg - straight arm 185lbs above my head, literally never breaking at my hips or elbows, just throwing it up.

But its the same thing as when football players come to me and say "Yeah, I squat about 650 too"

not to depth, walked out, with commands they don't.

I would be the same situation with WL.

>>34843380
stated as the lower bound. if i had to take a shot in the dark (noted I still don't have alot of faith in this weeks skills tests) i would say i'm going to get 20 -25 kg to the total. I've been wrong thoguh.

Sorry but no. You don't understand weightlifting, I can tell from this post. It has nothing to do with getting the bar up, it's about pulling yourself under.

>>34843525
As long as he doesn't press it out yes


You get no points for style in either PL or WL.

Think about it, you could pull 180kg in a powerlifting comp with a back doing its best impression of the letter c and get white lights. You'd just be rubbish though.

>>34843525
Yes.

>Not what I meant to imply. my bad.
ah fair enough

anyway if lad who might get on sheiko is still about check the forums for progression reports, there's a bunch there which should give some idea
won't be 15kg/year but prob not 2.5kg/week either

>>34843544

>>34843585
There is a beginners 2 month program in the app where you have a skill test at month 2 week 1 and a competition at the end of month 2. I'd imagine that 2,5 kg/week wouldn't be impossible.

>>34843520
Yo Ielja Strik has coached me in the past. And will again in the future. She's bretty cool.

>>34843654
has she taught you how to cheat drug tests?

>>34843648
No, I agree it's probably not impossible. I just suspect it'll be a bit lower for most, if only because TM aims to drive progression as fast as possible whereas Sheiko is more long term

>>34843654
I'm sure she is. And I bet she's a really nice person too.

Doesn't make her natty again. No woman looks like that normally. Never. Not even in weightlifting are they that blatantly on. And they're definitely on in that sport.

>>34843607
Kay sure. Let me see you get anywhere with your muscle snatches and power cleans.

>>34843695
that was never the argument

>>34843671
Nah, she did improve my bench form and squat form by tonnes. Made sure I wasn't permainjurred anymore.

>>34843690
Never would claim her to be natty. Never asked her about it and never will.
I don't agree with her drug-use, but she's a skilled coach, and I'm down with learning from someone who is willing to teach. Instead of my local PT's who keep saying I DL too heavy.

>>34843703
But it's all about getting the weight up isn't it?

>>34843714
Yes, that is the sport

>>34843447
Whats her instagram again?

>>34843708
Yeah that makes sense

>>34843714
Your argument was that power snatching would get 3 reds. We both know youre wrong here.

No go, too scared.

Workout question: I'm doing 3x5 deadlift with increasing weight and currently 125kg [~275 lbs] at 75kg [~165 lbs] bodyweight.

I started to get pain in my lower back (i have a medium scoliosis, especially strong at the lower back).

what do?

-> reduce weight, then do 3x8? (is 3x8 a thing for deadlifts??).
-> reduce weight but stick to 3x5?
-> keep weight but 3x3 and only slow weight-increase?

Uh no? Muscling up the weight is bad technique and is harder than doing it as a squat snatch because you don't have the momentum needed.

>>34843126
I get the impression a lot of people do powerlifting because they can't be good at weightlifting.

But, for me, powerlifting is the first one I did. And after getting a decent squat, naturally my weightlifting friends tried to get me to do cleans. But it's just so, so boring.

I'm more interested in watching powerlifting too. I just really like the sport. I don't know how people manage to spend hours training for it if they don't.

>>34843544
But there isn't a male class where a 180kg dl is good

>>34844331
PL is a means to an end for a lot (the end being the vague concept of "getting strong").

>>34843159
Choa, duh

>>34844331
I'm like this too. Never tried weightlifting, never been interested in it at all. Powerlifting is much more entertaining for me as a participant. Both are about equal in terms of spectator entertainment

I just powerlift because I'm not genetically explosive lol.

>>34844331
>love squatting
>love deadlifting
>not overly keen on WL, more fun to watch though
PL's good for me

>>34844345
Hence all the OHP memesters and low specificity programs

>squatting/benching fewer than 5 times a week
>training for powerlifting

choose one

>>34844414
You don't knee highly PL specific programming as a novice or intermediate, doing so without a coach and good genetics is inherently stupid and limits your options in the future.

>>34844331
Powerlifting is what got me hooked in the first place. Weightlifting has never been a consideration of mine so I never really made a choice. Another huge advantage is that powerlifting is a much broader and bigger sport. It's also more fun IMO.

usually we have 40 unique posters in a thread and one out of four active trips will answer your question

>>34844858
Newfags and Sean
But I mean really, what has changed if you compare 2014 PLG to 2015. PLG?

Sean was introduced, bulluing became general culture.
It's fixable if instead of ignoring the shitposting, people replied facetiously.

Say Sean posts, just reply
>stop. Thanks.
Or
>bully free zone

>>34844858

Because of narcissism. Trips are narcissism embodied, yes it's alright if you're like Marcel and you mainly help out and post webms of good lifts, but the trips on here are not that.

They fling shit at each other at every opportunity, stalk each other, post each others personal pictures and generally do dickish stuff and then try to pass it off as "banter".

When the trips start flinging shit so does everyone else. Overall a negative environment for everyone

never ever deload to 50% unless you are coming back from a super long hiatus/recovering from an injury.

Can anyone comment on the effectiveness of the bench routine laid out in the Bench Press Specialization manual?

My bench progress on TM has been less than adequate with lots of stalls relative to my other 2 lifts, and I was thinking of switching to Hepburn or something else.

>>34846743
rude

>>34846734
most of the people that did hepburn have since decided that it wasn't very affective and they didn't like it. that being said, i don't have other advice for you besides try adding more volume

>>34846734
>My bench progress on TM has been less than adequate with lots of stalls
Build your upper body.

Predator is good.

You have to build muscle to bench well. This includes your back.

Inb4 skinny with arch.

>>34846258
>tfw crossing swords

>>34846734
bench 3x/week. total volume is a big fucking deal for bench; sets of eight on volume day and a top set of 5 with a couple of backoffs on intensity day took me from like 235x5-260x5. Maybe a density block of light OHP for shoulder health on Saturday (assuming M/W/F) and try to bench on a decent (wide, firm, comp-spec) bench.

Tbh his squats at the SPF meet were still high. He better get that shit sorted out before he bombs at IPF worlds

>>34846756
Thanks for the reply.
How would I effectively add more volume without moving to benching 4 days a week?. I usually do back-off sets after ID + close grip.

>>34846802
My upper body is definitely my weak point and I have been working to address this with facepulls+db rows+pull-ups

>>34846907
That's pretty much what I've been doing (benching 3 days a week with OHP on Saturday). I will try increasing my reps to 8 though.

>>34846984
do you bench on RD too? i wouldn't make it super light like you might think intuitively. probably do like 5x5 on VD, 3x10 on RD, then ID do your thing. the 3x10 should be heavy but probably not as hard as the 5x5. no expert though, my bench also sucks.

>what about suzuki or kodama?
Outliers. Great leverages for bench.

>>34846984
>I have been working to address this with facepulls+db rows+pull-ups
Good. Bench press is an old-man or bodybuilder lift. It takes time to build the muscle necessary to do it well (for the average lifter).

It will come in time.

>>34847139
drive was such a shitty movie, my god.
>>34847151
yes, you can't be a champ if you weren't born with the genetics to be the best, just like in every other sport. also i don't think either of their ROMs are THAT small.
>>34847159
i mean i agree that in order to get absolutely heavy bench presses you need to be big. you'll never see a 74kg lifter outbench kirill for instance, but plenty of lighter guys still have really great bench presses without being that big, right? i mean hancott isn't that big and he's pressing 400+lbs too

>>34847172
>lat bench meme
A lot of beginners/intermediates stall on bench, then realize that they can't do more than 2-3 bodyweight pullups.

Training your synergists and building more upper body muscle aids the bench press. Also, it's been posted to death that strong lats aid in the bottom of the press.

No more attention for you, Sean. Shhhh. Before I have to smack a bitch.

>>34847208
>plenty of lighter guys still have really great bench presses without being that big, right? i mean hancott isn't that big and he's pressing 400+lbs too
Not tons. A lot of that comes down to leverages. How many of those guys have a good (conventional) deadlift?

>>34847043
the judge seems cool

>>34847221
honestly haven't looked into it too much. john haack and gibbs off the top of my head, but you might consider them "big". kim walford's bench is clearly worse than her deadlift, but still quite good for her gender + weight. any idea what jenn thompson's deadlift is?

>>34847269
>any idea what jenn thompson's deadlift is?
Not off hand.

Most freak benchers are just built to bench. Insertions can be very make or break in the bench.

For the average lifter, a lot of it comes down to development. Squats and deadlifts develop the lower musculature well, but sometimes bench work only won't do it. This is why OHP is advocated. Also, flyes, dips, heavy rowing, etc. can help "bring up" a mediocre bencher.

>>34847139
>I heard thats what canadians call mac n cheese.
>is that correct?

Oui Oui. But it's a specific brand. Not all Mac and Cheese is KD.

>>34847145

Yeah, it was also that Patrick decided to estat a bunch. I actually reckon that I'm pretty close to the numbers he posted when forced to actually do a meet.

But yes, I was blowing hot air out my ass. Doesn't mean I'm not going to try my damndest. Hence the KD for dinner.

>>34847208
>drive was such a shitty movie, my god.

Whatever, home-slice. I've never had a strength athlete not improve their pressing strength when they improved their pulling strength to match.

Try it sometime. Worst case scenario is that you'll be stronger.

I've considered dropping to 180 or so once I'm done competing.

215 is a good weight for me. I can train stupid and still recover quick without roids.

>>34847377
sean i got a haircut though.
>>34847379
could be a mobility issue. make sure you stretch before squatting, otherwise i have no clue.
>>34847406
see how you hold up pulling heavy-ish 2x/week. if its too much consider changing deadlifts to some deadlift accessory on VD (RDLs, paused deadlifts at a lower percentage, etc.)
90% for bench on VD might be high as well, not sure though.
i like the accessory day, maybe add something like db seated shoulder press, pretty light, for high reps
like RD a lot, keep it
ID might be a lot of accessory work after all your heavy main sets, might wanna drop some. back work 4x/week might be excessive/unnecessary.

>>34847434

That's cool. I guess I'll do what I can to really own the fuccboi thing.

Have you tried filming yourself in a pause squat?

Paused work is sometimes a panacea for torquing issues (or at least identifying the source).

>>34847443
in my experience 90% 5rm for 5x5 binch is rather easy and smooth

90% 5rm for squats will kill you stone dead within 3 weeks from the accumulated fatigue
