So many people need to learn that the authentic way too cook the barbell is Al Dente, or "To the tooth".

I've started doing an assistance exercise I've never seen but it's simple as fuck. I just put a band around my knees and sit into an unweighted squat for sets of 10-15 seconds trying my hardest to keep my knees out against the band. It's made a noticeable difference in eliminating knee valgus in my squat.

No joke, it's like magic. It's like when a lightning bug learns to light up it's ass for the first time.

Good tips, and bands aren't that expensive.

when you fail you don't suddenly go from 100 to 0. it takes 100% force to move the weight and maybe you're only putting out 95% and the spotter gives you that little push to get you up.

Why haven't more WLers tried to crossover into PL?

i guess. just seems like you're at a really awkward angle, basically squatting weight that's like a foot in front of you. i usually just go down to the safety bars if i can't get the weight up.

A lot of very good benchers cut their reps short. Spoto, Hoornstra, Kendall, etc. Saves wear and tear on their elbows and that crowd generally doesn't have issues with lockouts.

What? We were talking about why more weightlifters don't cross over into powerlifting. Where was the skill of that weightlifter ever implicated? So I don't know where this assumption of only talking about elite level athletes came from.

feeling pretty miserable.

i'm pretty stoked with the squat PR, REALLY happy with bench despite not hitting a PR, but the more time i dwell on it, the more disgruntled i'm becoming with the turnouts of deadlift.

I'm very displeased that i cannot maintain even a half decent position on heavy reps, when in the past this has been the only thing i was good at.

Avon, thinking about it more i'm actually more confused and think theres a higher chance youre right and i shouldnt change anything. this stems from looking at this picture. in this picture, i didnt eat, fucked up and cut WAY too much weight, over water cut in addition, then got no sleep the night before the meet.

my back looks very similar to now, which leads me to believe maybe, the fatigue is the problem.

BUT if that is the case, thats even WORSE, because none of the deadlift volume I've put in has been beneficial, at all. None of my deadlifts in the last 5+ weeks have been good, period. every one of them has had this shitty hip position, no hamstrings or glutes and all lower back.

If thats the only way i've trained, there's not going to be any real addition to the movement even if I did clean it up.

very, very disgruntled right now.

For comparison of back roundedness ( especially upper back )

I assumed the first guy:
>>34885315
was echoing the often voiced sentiment that elite weightlifters could break squat records. Then Avon brought up the matter of olympic medals in this post:
>>34885335

And if we're talking about team sports, it's going to be pro level, college level where they're trying to go pro which generally rules out playing multiple sports given the specialization that's par for the course these days, or, frankly, people just fucking around (which is sports in general, but that's neither here nor there). I assumed we weren't talking about intramural grabass leagues, but you know what they say happens when you assume.

>>34885567
This is 110000% not intended as a bully, but...

have you considered that you've gained weight and fucked your shit up? gut size can hurt your starting position really badly for conventional

>>34885567
Just wait till you max out again after you've tapered off the volume, you'll probably hit a PR once you recover from the fatigue.

>>34885526

You know I've been benching with with shoulder width grip basically. I think it's time for a change.

>>34885579
yup. i have actually. but i'm not sold on the idea yet.

i have put thought into it though.

>>34885583
I genuinely dont believe that. i've gained faith in volume, truly have. but i think theres other factors with my deadlift.

>>34885590
I am not basing it on one day.

I've been saying for a few weeks now that, while nervous for skills test, I actually had some confidence in good things for bench and squat, but deadlift did NOT seem like a good outlook.

Today to me was the final test of that. if you watch any of my deadlift posts from over the last few weeks, there is nothing but rounded back, zero hamstring, shit setup deadlifts.

>>34885648
Work at figuring it out. Grab your nuts and push through and stop convincing yourself a bad outcome is imminent. Next deadlift session get your deadlift right at the low weights and maybe do more warm up sets to try to maintain that form to working sets. But again JUST FUCKING TRUST THE PROGRAM.

>norse pep talk #382

absolutely retarded

either take the advice to heart or don't listen at all

the mechanics of a lift don't change once you stop being a novice

only thing that's relevant to a change in form (assuming you learned it properly in the first place) is whether you're in competition or not

What grip do you guys generally use? Wide or close?

>>34885709
>the mechanics of a lift don't change once you stop being a novice

I disagree.

I can only speak in regards to Starting Strength, but the mechanics of the lifts in the book are all about getting the most bang for your buck when training, most range of motion, biggest return for effort.

When we become more advanced, and begin to train competitively, we shift our focus to abusing the rules within our sport, and change our training approach appropriately.

>>34885763
we are not really in disagreement here, which is why i said

>only thing that's relevant to a change in form (assuming you learned it properly in the first place) is whether you're in competition or not

and by "the mechanics of a lift don't change once you stop being a novice" i mean people do not stop being affected by gravity once they end the novice phase. a different bench form won't suddenly become more efficient for moving a bar through space when a man becomes intermediate

>When we become more advanced, and begin to train competitively, we shift our focus to abusing the rules within our sport

that's true but those are abuses of technique. there's no reason why a lifter can't use the most efficient form for gaining strength in training, while fiddling with the nuances of technique that gives him the biggest numbers in competition. since strength is the single most important factor in factor in powerlifting, that's what people should, and already do. it's not unheard of to use one lifting form in training and to use another form in a meet that allows you to pull more weight.

>>34885954
>it's not unheard of to use one lifting form in training and to use another form in a meet that allows you to pull more weight.
literally who does this

>>34885993
many people.

for example a lot of guys highbar off-season and switch to lowbar when comp comes around

>>34886009
names?

>>34885954

Actually it quite often does shift - efficiency of technique has a lot to do with mobility, ROM, the strength of varying muscle groups and proportions of various muscle groups. All of which are subject to change as a lifter goes through his progression.

The most common being that bench grip tends to go out as a lifter goes up in weight classes - especially for taller lifters, who need to pack on a lot of mass before they shorten the ROM enough to get around the shoulder stress and lack of leverage off the chest they get when a lanky fucker tries to bench wide.

>>34886009

"when comp comes around" often means "starting twelve or sixteen weeks out". Almost no-one who shifts main exercises won't use the actual comp lifts when training for a meet.

I JUST WANNA BE GOOD AT POWERLIFTING, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?? IT SEEMS SO

>>34886045
Wanna get good?
Step listening to plg, start doing overhead press again, pick a program which you like and allows you to progress and learn for, in your spare time. There's load of books on the dropbox which will help. Bench especially.

After you've picked a programme you can progress on, stay with it for as long as possible, try to go a full year before switching.

There you go you are now a strong power lifter

>bw 90kg

>>34886093
200+ ez lad

>>34886093

Why are girls obsessed with the colour pink?

>>34886119

>>34886129
Ruseman?? 30kg / 12 = 2.5 per month

>>34886093
155kg

>>34886093

Fucked if we know.

I've seen guys go from 150 to 250 in a year. I've also seen guys do things right and spend ages stalled around 180. I couldn't give an accurate estimate even if I knew all the details, and your BW and current max is a long way from all the details.

Is it necessary to switch your hand grip when pulling with mixed grip? When I grip the bar with my left hand underhand it causes my body to tilt left due to scoliosis and my form goes all to hell. I'd rather not pull with that way at all.

>>34886161

While its normally considered desirable, I'd say scoliosis is pretty much the definition of a special case when it comes to deadlifting.

>>34886161
it doesn't matter
just make sure to only use mixed grip on your topset

1 month stats:
bw: ~67kg
bp: 5x65kg -> ~75.8kg 1rm
sq: 5x100kg -> ~116.7kg 1rm
dl: 5x130kg -> ~151.7kg 1rm

how's it looking lads? will I see just as constant gains in my 2nd month?

>>34886169
lamar gant used his scoliosis to his advantage, maybe he can too

>>34886182
how did you get put 75.8, 116.7, or 151.7 kgs on the bar?

>>34886227
It's an estimated 1rm hence the ~

real 1rm could be higher or lower, but I haven't tested it, and probably won't until after a few months when the weight is heavy enough for me to use up a session or 2

>>34886227
microplates obviously, my gym has 10 100g plates

>>34886241
oh by the -> i assumed you meant you went from 5x65kg to before the month to 75.8x1kg after the month. you still have quite a bit of linear gains to come, friend.

Yeah.

I think the point at which you can no longer tolerate a bit of fun in your hobby is the point at which its time to walk away. We're picking things up and putting them down again, not curing cancer or some shit.

>>34886825
sounds kinda homoerotic when you put it like that

>>34886845

Its not a serious gym unless there's some level of homoeroticism - joking or otherwise - going on at least some of the time.

Happens to me too lad, best medicine is to chill with friends and distract yourself with work/school/lifting or all 3. Just do your best and you'll forget whatever your feeling bad about.It's helped me alot these last couple o weeks

Overhead press is a good lift. I don't know why it gets so much hate.

>>34887151
It doesn't get hate

But why wouldn't you do more bench press instead?

>>34887171
Shoulder health stability and mobility that the bench press doesnt provide

Ive been missing pressing and my shoulders feel like shit lately

>>34885030
Wank I came to the heavy weights room today you weren't there, just meet me on the track and I'll kick your ass

>>34887171
Doing it as an assistance exercise for bench is great. And it's a fun lift. I won't claim my bench shot up to the sky ever since I did ohp, but I've managed to process faster as I put in more ohp.

I'm against the whole "stalling in an exercise? Just do it more" ideology you seem to incorporate in your training.

>>34887203
>ideology
sorry m8 it is science. volume=gains

being sick is so annoying. I'm too fucking tired to even play vidya. the worst is that i'm in the middle of sheiko so i dunno what to do desu

>>34887212
It is possibly to make excellent gains without lots of volume

So i broke up with my gf and decided to do smolov, my max before was 170kgs. Today is my last day on the base cycle so how much should i expect to max next week?
No failed workouts or reps so far.

Recently been getting buttwink on my squats..
allot of hamstring and glute work needs to be done with ALLOT of lowerback work..

whats the best exercise for this? i need hamstring and lowerback strength espically for deadlifts, but i cant let my squat suffer. should i do goodmornings ALONG with RDL's or is only one necessary? if so, which one?

>>34887287

Weightlifters are better athletes than powerlifters because they're more explosive.

Debate me.

>>34887634
true, they're also more mobile

>>34887634
I disagree. Abosulte strength and explosive strength are incomparable. Think about lifting a grocery bag. The powerlifter would pull it slowly, while the weight lifted would use leg drive and speed to bring it up. Both are valid and 'athletic', just a different way to lift the same grocery bag.

With respect Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man that *you* don't fully understand, either. A long time ago, I was in Burma. My friends and I were working for the 4chan. They were trying to buy the loyalty of trip leaders by bribing them with precious (you)'s. But their PLG General was being raided by a shitposter named Sean. So we went looking for the (you)'s. But in six months, we never met anybody who traded with him. One day, I saw a child playing with a (you) the size of a tangerine. The shitposter had been throwing them away.
>So why shitpost?
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

i have the same problem, my girlfriend loves rimjobs and she has a little hygiene issue down there (lazy with wiping, perhaps due to difficulty reaching there or perhaps shes even doing it on purpose) and you told me to suggest that I suggest to her I'd clean it with a baby wipe
so I tried this during sex and she said close my eyes and for some stupid reason I did and the next thing I know she is grabbing my balls wih her ass pointed straight to my face
i cant really do anything cause im in pain at this point and she turns and plants her ass on my fucking face and says "better start licking or I will squeeze [your balls])
so I had to give her a fucking rimjob (what a surprise here butthole was dirty again) so by the time she let go of my balls I threw her off and stormed out and sent her a text later saying "its over"

When I setup my squat I often feel like my feet aren't in one line so I end up setting one foot back and forth trying to match it with the other.

This costs energy and is generally annoying.

The fuck do I do to fix this?

Also
>wall isn't straight

My feet are never perfectly even, its just something you have to come to terms with.

>>34889002
>>wall isn't straight
>>rack isn't straight
Squat facing away from the wall if possible?

>>34889002
It took me a good couple of months to realize that I didn't have to be perfectly squared up with the rack in order to squat. Unrack, one step, two step, re-angle your feet if necessary, and go.

>>34888928
If you can lift the weight at all, it doesn't require any willpower or determination. High rep sets are actually hard because its painful to complete the rep. Low rep sets just require the movement of your joints.

And diet is 1000x harder than lifting. Face it, powerlifting is the dump for social rejects can't talk to girls anyway and are weak so they just give up on looking good and lift weights for "themselves" (they actually secretly hope girls will take notice but they are cognitively dissonant on what it takes to do that)

If you're fucking autistic maybe, its not hard to count calories and macro/micro nutrients.

d = i * 1.0
while d * 2 < 7:
i = i + 3
print (i)
i += 1
d = i * 1.0 / 2
i = i // 2

help

well I literally have autism, so it could be retard strength. My proprioception abilities are high so my form is usually immaculate. This means all the necessary muscles are getting growth

also I did train seriously as well 2 years ago for 7 months, but I was max 63kg, and my lifts weren't as high, except bench which I did 5x67.5kg

so realistic total is 8 months, with 1 of those being after 2 years
