475 deadlift for reps

lads im really excited for this fucking pie but if I cut it too early it'll be too goopy to hold its shape

pls hold me

Lads what should I do now that I am done SS?

I was thinking TM but I'm not sure

>>35080006
I hate TM I love Madcow 5x5
I'm also weak and give out poor advice

- your friendly neighbourhood dinosaur

>>35080006
TM is good, at least for a couple months until you figure out what other direction you might possibly want to go.

>>35080006
Dietmar or Sheiko. Anything that's not high frequency, high volume style training is a troll made by steroid users or retarded murrifats

>>35080062
>>35080074
Im confused. It seems like I either hear that TM is really good or that its shit and that it would be better to do something like what

>>35080074
Is saying.

>>35080086
TM is good, it gives fast progress. What it doesn't give is volume tolerance which you'll need long term, but you could just do TM and then move on to higher volume. Or go higher volume right away

>>35080074
Link Dietmar pogroms pls

>>35080086
It's not shit, it's the perfect advanced noob -> intermediate transition program. It needs some modification for bench and you should do more than just 1x5 deadlifts once a week but it's a good program.

If I pull Sumo for (3-day) TM on ID for a set of five, should I just do some 3x5 volume sumo DLs on VD?

I want something that will have good carryover to sumo diddly but Im not sure that something like SLDLs does?

>>35080124
how should I modify the bench?

No, they're state secrets.

>>35080138
Sounds fine. You could do deficits, paused, or just regular pulls from the floor at a lower RPE.

>>35080141
Start off with the 5x5 for VD, do something like Spoto or incline for 3x10 on RD, and do some (still heavy) back off sets on ID. When you start to stall, move to 6x5 VD. When you stall again, do 3x5 closegrip at the end of either your VD or ID session.

You're the 500 pound squat guy...

>>35080174
Because a day of squatting 900+ far exceeds our (beginner, comparatively) maximum recoverable volume. He doesn't need to squat more than once a week because he won't be able to recover if he increased volume

You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on /plg/ by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking "strength training" friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't pray. You don't report. This ain't /fit/, kid. This is /plg/. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to /stg/, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place…. this place has a lot to offer… heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it…

Thats fucking pathetic and extremely low paying
I mean only boardshorts has a worst career here

Is this "optimal"?

I thought there were trade offs depending upon a wider or narrower angle that you should choose depending upon your morphology / flexibility / etc?

Yes, I was bringing up a good point as I want to go pro powerlifting and become animal sponsore athlete.

>>35080402
For now at least, it's better than the alternative

>>35080423
It's probably getting deleted because it's neither PL, nor lifting/health related.

How many Dietmar programmes are out there anyway?

>>35080402
Get some real friends to talk to about animal abuse, you autist.

Talk about lifting here.

Lads I'm stalling OHP on my 3rd week of Madcow 5x5.
I've added 7.5kg to my squat bench and deadlift but my OHP stalled

Should I do a set of 8 at the end of it like you do on Friday?

>>35080440
adding volume is generally a good idea to get past a stall, yeah

3KB, 122x100px

>>35080437
There are 3 basic ones that are really only used for beginners, everyone uses something custom made by someone taught by Dietmar and based on his methods.

What does "match week" on Madcow mean?

See here:
https://www.madcow5x5.com

>>35080499
A) IS that with the use of PEDs?
B) Is that with knee wraps?

>>35080498
Don't come to plg for anything other than powerlifting discussion
Fuck off and never come back

>>35080495
Sure but I did my squat at 8% body fat.

>>35080520
and they did higher weighted squats without steroids at a lower bodyweight

>>35080520
body fat % is not relevant in PL

>>35080515
PEDs add 10% strength, knee wraps add maybe 10 pounds max
504 crew is taking over

>>35080535
Knee wraps can add more than 80lbs
Steroids contributed to 90% of your total

basically your one rep max would be 100lbs if you didnt use steroids or wraps

sorry bud but you're literally the weakest person here

Briefly squatposting before finishing my vacation :)

>>35080547
what the fuck happened there

>calls the mods fags
>gets banned
kek
Anyway...
What are your thoughts on high-frequency, auto-regulated types of training, /plg/? I hear of people just rolling into the gym and doing the same lift for a rep max five days per week and making solid gains pretty quickly, but I'm unsure of the sustainability of such a method.
Has anyone done this for extended periods of time (more than a couple of months)?

>>35080476
Again, you're 'okay' and on roids. Blow your 10% out of your ass, that figure is relevant at the very top end of the game where people worked for years to gain the size and strength they have, natty or otherwise.

>>35080478
You're a 12 year old tbf, and this board is for health and fitness discussion. You guys banted way to hard and this is the consequence.

>>35080545
This isn't true, I bench 400 raw as well I did that at 218 body weight accomplished in less than 17 years of lifting

>>35080560

bar on his neck, looks like

>>35080506
Should be where you hit your old PRs.

>>35080520
Completely irrelevant for about nine different reasons.

>>35080560
No preworkout, forgot sleeves, shitty bar with no knurling so slippery, safeties set too high. Basically a perfect storm of fuckup.

Episodes of Cube Method resume this week, was on vacation camping with gfs family. Resuming from beginning of week 5 :)

>>35080565
I have worked for over a decade on my lifts so it is relevant.

>>35080592

>>35080561
Marcel did for (I think) over a year. I did for about three months and liked it, made great squat gains and okay bench gains. Didn't really feel more or less beat up than normal.

>>35080646
Neat. I know it's autoregulated, so you can't really get super specific with it, but what did the programming look like? Did you have an overarching periodization to it?

>>35080638
And you shouldn't"5 feel better about it, steroids barely make a dif probably chunky just desu

>>35080607
So why aren't you Dan Green or Eric Lilliebridge? And let's say it is 10%. A 450 (high) squat at 237 is just 'decent' and not something to act like hot shit over. That's the reason people are jumping down your throat.

>>35080652
Water bloat I'm 5% here. Just lost a lot of mass.

>>35080661
>Did you have an overarching periodization to it?
Nope, and if I were to do it again I'd do it as another 3ish month block after a more hypertrophy/volume oriented phase. I did what pretty much all the Perryman/Nuckols stuff says: DM, one to three back off doubles or triples most days. The Nuckols point about improving your daily minimum rather than focusing on your daily max is something I kind of intuited on my own eventually but it's really the key to the whole thing.

Just threw up a bit for no reason to be honest lads

I wonder if something was up with that turkey shit

>>35080666
Because I haven't counted macros in a while just bought a house and have been busy with pt buisness it keeps writing desu and it's 500 not 450

>>35080694

I saw a 145lbs junior lifter bench 365lbs just the other day in my gym, how the hell is 400@218 good after 17 years?

>>35080724
I'm talking about your "10%" friend.

>>35080750
>how the hell is 400@218 good
You're retarded.

400 is really hard to hit.

Most powerlifters will never get 400

>>35080731
Yeah, some curls, some hamstring curls, pullups, chest-supported rows, standard cuff stuff. Front squats once in a blue moon, deadlift singles twice a week usually. Almost always just comp squat and bench.

>>35080774
Your talking about me and the lift was 418 before I got injured I was only on 500 mg test plus ai when I hit lift

>>35080592
Bort you've been lifting far longer than me. That was more than not having knee sleeves or pwo or anything related to knurling. Seriously just look at that fucking knee travel at the start of it.

It doesn't have anything to do with what you just posted. You probably just zoned out and lost focus.

>>35080782
I suspect 400 is achievable in 3-6 years training

>>35080782
Most powerlifters aren't on roids and use knee wraps, kid. ;)

>>35080774
https://www.instagram.com/p/9yc6zjBzT4/
What lifts did you hit again? I can't remember lol

Are there any high frequency / highish volume programs for beginners. I hate lifting just 3 days a week and 3x5 is boring as fuck as well.

>>35080831
an easy way to settle this is to post your wilks. if your wilks as a roided, wrapped lifter is lower than a significant number of natural, raw lifters, then you aren't among the best lifters here.

>>35080774
Our crew trains hard as hell and tries to do the best we can, not use why we got attacked on the forums but whatever so be it. We will win Arnold's in 5 years so no worries. Haha

>>35080849
He's the 1212 at 181 guy.

1212 total 181. Was only juiced for 4 months before meet.

>>35080859
>speculating about shit five years from now

el oh el

>>35080869
That's not even a 370 wilks

>>35080869
so you have a 369wilks on roids. at least 26 people here have a higher wilks than you, raw, without roids.

>>35080877

Started benching daily, and not just squatting daily.

Hit 90% of bench 1rm for 4, that was cool. Gonna up volume on both soon because I'm keeping my head above water as is, and I'm gonna be able to eat better and sleep more now.

Sounds like the BBB sets on the 1+ days.

>>35082745

Lots of people are able to see deadlift advancement through squat carryover. Try deadlifting once a week, but it;s all you need if you're squatting 3-4 times a week.

GJ lad. I always wondered as to the wisdom of following up a heavy single in programming with volume work. For example, if I can push hard on a 1+ day on 5/3/1 and get it for a triple, those BBB sets after are almost insurmountable.

>>35083039

>>35083229
>PT hate stuff

Eh, from a powerlifting and strength perspective, the PTs at my gym are just awful. But I think a lot of the kids on /fit/ get really tied up in their own goals (getting shredded, getting /plg/ strong) and don't empathize with the fact that these PTs are mostly there to help the forty year old woman who is coming into the gym for the first time, or the thirteen year old boy who just wants to curl forever, or the yoga mom who wants to impress her friends at the next wine dinner.

We all have our own goals in life and in fitness, so I try to never look down on the PTs; they just can't really help me.

Remember kids, always treat everyone in your gym with kindness and respect.

Unless they're doing stupid bullshit in the powercage, then give them the whats up.

>>35083192
I'm friends with a lot of the staff at my university gym. Its nice, we talk about lifting, idiots we see, and have some pretty good banter. They all actually lift and aren't clueless dweebs. I think one of the grills wants my peen. I think she oly lifts.

Brandon?

I hurt my lower back today. It doesn't seem too bad (no pain when I'm sitting, standing, etc), but if I do something like go through the motions of a deadlift without any weight, I feel lower back pain.

I'm pretty sure what did it was barbell rows. I think my arch is excessive. I also didn't do any other exercises today that would stress the lower back.

I'm gonna work on correcting my barbell row form next time I do it, but for now, is there anything I can do to help recovery?

Stats? starting / current

Is a 155lb front squat impressive compared to 190lbs atg?

>>35084249

Why are you asking friend?

Holy fuck this place is a cesspool right now. RIP plg 2013-2015

>>35084249

Your front squat is 81 percent of your back squat.

For most powerlifters, 70 percent is good.

This probably means that your back squat has some form concerns that are limiting how much strength you can demonstrate.

Got any vids?

>>35084061
This semester when I started doing 4x per week are the first numbers, second numbers are current with 7x.

deadlift is a hip hinge primary movement
high bar squats are not
they'll 'carry over' in as much as strengthening your legs will improve your deadlift, similar to how people think front squats improve their deadlift start position because of quads

>>35084870
:'(

>>35084885
Hey man i thought you hit the bucket

>>35084900

I stopped posting here, still lurk occasionally

>>35084885

With FS, its often as much the upper back as the quads (especially if you're pausing or boxing it). Same reason the SSB gets the job done better than highbar squatting, despite being very close in terms of how quad-dominant it is.

>>35084908

Thanks for the help m8. Always value your input.

>>35084916

yeah that's certainly true. Though if you wanted to simply strengthen the upper back it would be way more efficient to just use rows. Using front squats is good as a technique primer on how to appropriately brace your upper back despite having no scapular retraction as a primary movement IMO

>>35084908
Most of the trips is kill anyway.

Are squat-mornings a technique problem or a muscle thing?

I haven't really been thinking about keeping my hips going up or pushing my back into the bar. I can still progress in weight and have previously difficult weights be done with good form, but my heaviest working sets always end up looking shitty.

>>35085040

could be both, but most low bar resembles a squat morning if it's heavy. Could just be shitty levers too

if your front squat is <<< back squat (like less than 80% and definitely less than 70%), may be a strength problem

>>35084323
Sorry I took so long to reply, showered and I'm making my late-night oaties. This is the most recent vid I have, but to me my squat seems fine.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voY1G-NvDBs

>>35085070
I'm definitely leaning coming out of the hole, it's not the kind of bent back from low-bar that stays at the same angle throughout. I always go about half the way up bent and very grindy, then at a certain point straighten my back and easily complete the rep, if that sheds any more light

>>35085085
how tall are you

>>35085040

I've decided that squat morning and butt wink are no longer problems we should concern ourselves with.

Be free from that anxiety friend.

I'm only being partially srs btw, excessive squat morning can be indicative of a myriad of problems, my squat morning was completely fixed by Chris Duffin's squat video (technique) but there's really no way of knowing until you diagnose the problem yourself.

>>35085103

not really, that's kind of the typical squat morning grinder problem. You can minimize it by strengthening quads and core, and maybe by changing form a little more. I mean, look at Layne Norton - dude basically squat mornings from bottom to top - it's possible to own it by compensating in small ways

>>35085103

Even if this happens only under heavy load, that could simply be indicative of a lack of control under stress. It's probably safest to assume that it's both a technique AND strength problem. Add some accessories you feel would aid in keeping your torso solid, but also give Duffin's squat vid a watch, and see if it helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5zrloYWwxw

my squat morning problems were almost instantly fixed my fixing ankle mobility. im squatting high bar tho
