what is everyone doing today? not thinking this should be too tough, just excited to hold 480 finally

2 questions:
I can't currently foam roll upper back because no lacrosse ball.

What can I do to relieve muscle tightness on my middle to upper back?

When buying a lacrosse ball is there anything good in particular or is it buy whatever's cheapest?

>>35115056
ill post it again in about 21 hours time when im finished with my hepburn day a

im a 19yr old 210 lb guy with 170/125/240 (kg)

is block periodization with aim to increase my 1RM every 10 weeks or so a good idea or am i still too weak to consider such programming?

>>35115122
resting and eating

>>35115158
no idea why i used lb's at my bw and kgs at my total lel

>>35115148
>cant foam roll upper back
>no lacrosse ball
why the fuck would you need a lacrosse ball to do that

if you've not even use a foam roller on your back you're gonna have debilitating pain using a lacrosse ball

https://www.asep.org/asep/asep/JEPonlineJUNE2014_Cardozo_Evangelista.pdf
Why are you not doing the brazilian powerbuilding method? 70% increase in deadlift and 30% in bench and squat in elite athletes over a 16 week periode sounds great.

>>35115158
I like block periodisation a lot. But do consider 12 week cycles.

>>35115177
I don't want to damage my spine with the foam roller

>>35115158
periodisation is based on your ability to progress, not your numbers.

>>35115122
>block pulls @ 95%

please be sumo

if not, good luck

>>35115187
i was thinking of doing

5 weeks of increasing volume
3 weeks of increasing intensity (and dropping volume accordingly
1 week taper
1 week rm test

repeat

how does that look?, would you just increase the first 2 cycles by a week if you were to do 12 weeks?

>>35115200
you're more likely to slip and fuck up your spine with a lax ball than a foam roller, let alone the fact you're gonna fuck up all your ribs and bruise all your muscles

use a foam roller and lean to the side - if its pure foam then theres basically no chance of fucking up your spine no matter how hard you try.

hey mod was I banned? Is that why last thread is deleted? I don't want to be ban evading if I am, nothing came up saying I was banned however but that thread post was probably made on a different IP, so you need to let me know if I'm van evadin and I won't post but please don't ban me cause I don't know if I am or not you know?

>>35115227
Yes

Also volume and intensity are spectrums. So it's not like you gave "volume" and "intensity" blocks.

>>35115244
thats why i said increasing before it, i know they are interrelated kek

>>35115238
I knew you were a child

>>35115232
Why don't you just pay for it? It's cheap in the grand scheme of things and the overall time it will save pays for it multiple times over again

>being afraid of damaging your spine by laying on a tough cylindrical pillow

Unless you're super heavy and have no back muscle (turbo fatty) you're gonna have to pretty much try to hurt your back with a foam roller.

lad its not coming, is it?

So lads, if I do have to push the red button, who has any advice for someone going on a smolov jr for bench. I'll have to go on a m/t/th/f schedule, plan on avoiding deadlifts entirely for the first two weeks, then gradually bring them in on the third at around 60%. I would like to keep up with squats, but obviously not at maximal effort.

Nope. Injury just didn't heal after a week off, so I may need to take three weeks or so off Heavy deads and squats, but I want to keep my total moving up for my meet in January.

I reall wish to keep my lower body more mobile, specially hamstrings and glutes currently.
I've been foam rolling around this area and stretching around said area, groin and hip flexors included but I was wondering...

Is there any good foam rolling and stretching programs I can do on my rest days?
I also need a middle / upperback roll or stretch of something.

I am worried of doing damage to my spine as I have an extra hard and spikes foam roller.

If I buy a lacrosse ball what can I do with it?

Many thanks and I apologise for being so uneducated.

Lads I've got a question.

For a full meet its better to be a deadlift specialist than a squat specialist, and better to be a squat specialist than a bench specialist, right?

So why isn't there a way to make all three lifts equally useful to your overall result?

File: anime did this.webm (3MB, 448x320px) Image search: [Google]

3MB, 448x320px

so, 13mm or 10mm?

>>35116009
its not necessarily better to be a deadlift specialist over a squat specialist though. Pick one and excel in it, then have a fairly good other one and fairly good bench.

and do you know anything that makes it feel better, or worse?

>>35116527
bruh, my DL is shit compared to my squat, I should be deadlifting wayyy more than this
>>35116535
Well as of now I'm running the base template and I'm just having some fun hitting PRs, so I'm not really following a program
Anyway, that's how I've been doing it:
Monday:
-Competition Squat (w/ belt, etc..) @rpe 7, @8,@9 and 2 backoff sets (I vary no. of reps from week to week)
-Competition Bench - same scheme as squat
-Some high volume bench variation such as close grip bench, incline bench, close grip floor press, done for multiple sets of 6-8 @rpe 8
Wednesday:
-Competition DL - same as squat and bench
-Bench variation, either pin presses from chest level or pause benches, with a similar scheme to comp movements, but with more backoff sets (4 usually)
-Squat variation, such as front squats, pause squats, tempo squats, done with a similar rep scheme as monday's bench variation.
Friday:
-Squat Variation, similar exercises as wednesday's, but with comp movements rep schemes.
-Touch and go bench, done for highish reps at high rpes (9 or 10), 1 or 2 backoff sets
-bench variation, done like monday
Saturday:
-Deadlift variation, stuff like deficit deadlifts or block pulls, rep scheme similar to friday's squat variation
-Bench overload variation, mid range pin presses or board presses, done for few reps (2-4), with rep scheme similar to comp movements.
-Some hamstring work, such as stiff legged deadlifts or RDLs, done for high reps and sets

That's it, I usually do some light back work at the end of each workout.

>>35116629
front delt/pec insertion area, it's bit vague in feeling too can't pinpoint it
flyes and benching near bottom irritates it, as does wiping my ass, only two i found so far, can ohp fine for example

it feels more shoulder than pec region but seemingly only pec stuff hurts, same region that feels a stretch during pec flyes for me

>>35116648
>my DL is shit compared to my squat, I should be deadlifting wayyy more than this
i know this feel, its always amplified at meets as well

whats your difference?

>>35116648
thanks, guessing it's just based on the base template from the book?¨
how hard do you think it'd be to get into it without ever getting coaching? been really curious to try it for some variation from sheiko at some point

>>35116668
0kg, everytime I tested both of them, be it in a comp or a mock meet, I always lifted the same weight

What is a good intermediate routine to fix a bench that's stalling really hard?

>Been at a 1RM of 210 for the last 3 months while my squat has gone from 250 to 320 and DL has gone from 320 to 390

>>35115794
for a second i thought you were using burger units, and thought why is this faggot tripping. just realised my mistake, GJ and nice lifts mang

>>35116685
anything that increases volume

>>35116708
Should I add in a ton of accessories or just after doing my 3 heavy sets do another 4x8 or something at a much lighter weight?

>>35116679
>0kg
a-at least it hasnt went into minus numbers yet

my comp lifts are the same but that was because of bad attempt selection Tbh
realistically deadlift is likely 10kg ahead

ill find out this sat

>>35116735
idk

>>35116735
both could do, or just doing an additional work set every day you bench would be a non trivial volume increase

>>35116661
Sounds like your pec minor, pretty much the area of the pec-delt tie in, find a stretch for it and report whether or not its painful

>>35116743
I guess I'll just try a bit of both and see how it goes?

>>35116754
Okay, thanks. Hopefully I can break through this and get to 2pl8 in a month or two.

>>35116739

did pic related, yep that god it good
guess I know what it is now, thanks anon

>>35116774
good luck

>>35116670
Yeah, he pretty much uses that template in every program he makes, I really like Tbh. RPE is kind of difficult to guess at first, but gets easier and easier the longer you try to guess it. As for exercise selection, add them based on your weaknesses. As for reps, I like doing a simple wave leading to the meet, such as 6-5-4-5-4-3-4-3-2-3-2-1-deload and meet week for the comp movements, you could go for a similar approach but with different reps on your variations

Have it on good authority that I could sign up USAPL and compete right now as long as I wouldn't test positive. I think the two year thing is what happens if you get caught while competing.
Looks like I'm bulking to 120 and I can get a "real total"

>>35116796
Might not be 100% the cause of the problem, but it can be one of a few things, I'd go see a physio to confirm, and to find other possible problems.

Glad to be of help.

>>35116806
Cool, really tempted to give it a spin. Tried to guess some RPE's during Sheiko but fatigue makes every guess so full of fuck, will keep doing it though

>>35116796
Just as a last thing to confirm, do you get pain mostly in your delt, and a little pain going down your arm, possibly to the pinky? At least when you aggravate it

>>35116819
yeah of course, it's a minor enough strain though expecting it to heal on its own in not too long, want to start the rehab process already

>>35116863
nope nothing like that, it's all "in" the delt
i guessed delt injury at first, seemed so obvious based on pain location

>>35116816
>Have it on good authority
yeah well if you test positive then they cant exactly prove it, but thats on you

>"real total"
thought you didnt care/ preferred other feds because there was sightly more music

>>35116878
Hmm, so nothing in the arm at all?

>>35116816

I tried your sternum to nipple bench and it just felt off. Youre weird.

>>35116739
The strange thing is that in training my deadlift always feels stronger, I can do more reps with the same weight compared to my squat. Yet, at very very high %, my deadlift just hits a wall where I can't even lift the barbell off the floor.
Good luck on your test btw!

>>35116816
Legally yes you can. You'd still be cheating though.

Also how far are you from the happening?

>>35116937
tried again, nah doesn't run past the delt boundary for sure

>>35116954
sounds similar again with repping lighter weights

>deadlift just hits a wall
you think it might be a grip problem, it happens to me too,even tho my grip doesnt let go, it does loosen and i think that may be restricting me from pulling through, read that before here anyway and i need some excuse

>Good luck on your test btw!
i-its a meet but thanks

>>35116996
The most likely culprit is pec minor then, it's just weird that the pain doesn't refer down the arm at least a little, I'd possibly get it checked, but if it's very minor of an injury, then you should be fine

Good luck with rehab though senpai.

Worst case scenario, you get banned from the USAPL.

When this IPF fanboy shit blows over, you are welcome to the dark side, where there are tested AND untested divisions, and music on the platform, and your bros can slap your back, and you can wear whatever gear you want, etc.

Think about it.

Literally nobody cares.

The IPF is boring as it is. Being in the olympics will only make it worse.

The olympics is where sports go to die.

Nothing like making everything super-political, corrupted, and SUPER SRS.

Lol.

It's a fun fat guy hobby. I'm glad all the IPF spergs are slowly dying out so powerlifting can go back to what it used to be.

Why arent we all just strongman?

>>35117074

Just placing the weight on top of a plate. Gives you like an inch above the floor.

>>35117307
So many of the events use things that aren't available in most regular gyms.

>I'm glad all the IPF spergs are slowly dying out so powerlifting
kinda agree desu as an IPFer
what makes you think the IPF spergs are dying out tho

>>35117307
powerlifting is so easily accessible
look how many 'bodybuilders' do a 2 week powerlifting block to get that 'dense muscle' before going back to 'bodybuilding'
its just so easy to get into since you likely already do the lifts and any gym you go to

>>35117365
>what makes you think the IPF spergs are dying out tho

IPF drug-free lifting is literally an internet fad. It has exploded in popularity, and it will slowly diminish. Look at some of the big YouTubers (Candito, Isuf, Toos, etc.). It's fading.

>>35117368

Regardless, you'd be blind (or really too young) to see what powerlifting has -become-.

Raw, drug free, IPF master-race, etc. All that shit is brand new. The elitism that came with it is annoying.

Powerlifting doesn't need to be in the olympics.

It started as the 'odd-lifts', and it should stay the pissing contest that it is.

If you want to hate something, do it professionally (quote that holds true for a lot of things).

There is nothing wrong with that, but the IPF has tried to monopolize the drug-free raw community via "legitimacy".

All the equipment limitations and fear-mongering via bans is just silly.

There are plenty of feds with tested and untested competition, along with raw divisions as well.

Did my volume work based on the rep maxes I set on Monday and Tuesday. It took up less time than I expected. Might move things around a bit.
I'm doing fullbody every day this week (two days of rep maxes, two days of volume, and two days of speed work). I'm thinking about doing upper/lower instead though.

hey yall,
how strong should I be before I even consider competing in a small competition? The guy I sometimes train with is running a small competition in town and asked me to compete
Like im thinking training for another year to get my lifts up
Age 19

A 1500 total at SHW would put you as a Class II or Class I lifter in most feds.

This is good. Not regionally good, but good.

Go compete. Or stop trolling. Either way.

Look at it this way:

You can either run from any scary competition.

OR

You can compete along-side guys like Kyle Rayner.

To compete means "to seek together".

Go compete, fool.

The community is very supportive, you'll have a blast.

>>35117439

>>35118113
yes, whippy bar and bumpers but still incredibly strong

I got a question guys. I attempted a max today but failed for 405. How long should I wait in between to try again? Also what should I do in the mean time to prepare?

>>35118145
>I attempted a max today but failed for 405
If bench or DL, you should wait a week.

If squat, you could probably try it again in a couple days.

I'm an advanced lifter, and I've done this.

Sometimes it is technical failure. Wait a few days, hit it again.

Deadlift, not so much. If you're fried, you're fried sometimes.

Not everybody is such a coward about it.

>I'm an advanced lifter,
if your such an advanced lifter (inb4 your actually just talking about strstd)

I'm a master/elite lifter within my fed.

I agree about getting stronger to break personal bests, but sometimes you just have to nut-up and go for it.

What if he is plenty strong, but it was just a bad day? Why completely reset when you could give it one more week and hit the lift?

I max or test a lift via AMRAP at least a couple times per month. It's not that bad.

The problem is that too many people get caught up in chasing PR's for too many weeks straight, then crash hard.

Bulking season lads
Feels good man

>>35118378
the point is that if it isn't at a comp, the lift doesn't matter. if you could've gotten it it was just a bad day or you misgrooved, set it as your training max and continue on. what difference does it make?
>>35118375
did you fail this joe?

>>35118420
>if it isn't at a comp, the lift doesn't matter. if you could've gotten it it was just a bad day or you misgrooved, set it as your training max and continue on. what difference does it make?

I agree. This is a mature mindset.

However, too many "intermediate" guys around here program hop every time a lift gets tough.

They reset and reset and reset and before they know it, they're still an intermediate.

>>35118420
No I got it. I'll webm it after lifting

>>35118378
>I'm a master

it still doesnt matter tho outside of comp

>>35118447
eh i don't have much of a problem with program hopping depending on the situation. if it was a 20lb PR and they could've had it but didn't sleep the night before, yeah they shouldn't deload or reset or program hop, but if they actually saw no gains in an entire training block then something is wrong and a different program could be the answer.

did you do anything other than strictly water cutting for your meet? no sodium manipulation or food?

how much did you loose?
and did you stay on creatine?

dont think ill be winning this meet, so what better time to try a slight water cut and see what to expect and how it effects me even tho im well in the weightclass already lol

if anything it will help me try to get to 400 wilks

food was kept pretty much the same as my typical diet until 24 hours before weigh ins, then i ate nothing until weigh ins. no sodium manipulation at all since i have high blood pressure and i'm kinda scared it would fuck me up.
i kept on creatine, taking it the morning before my meet (about 28 hours out of weigh ins) and right after weigh ins the day of.
Unfortunately i didn't have to go poop until like 45 mintues after weigh ins... coulda lost a few more grams.

hello bros.

started bulking from skelly past few months and kicked it into high gear this past one. gained a record 10 lbs in november. would it be ok to add another work out day to my schedule (already do 3 full body workouts alt light/heavy per week. or should i cut back and stop eating so much senpai?

Panzer you're making me hot

>>35121277

You're in London, right? I don't ask this out of interest for my own wang, but concern that you are the skinniest, most feminine belly I have ever seen on a guy if not.

My current 5RMS:
>140kg squat
>140kg deadlift
I have to wear a belt for squats because my back is too weak...

It will take wake me 4 months to hit a 4pl8 deadlift
Should I purposely maintain squats at 3pl8 until I hit a 4pl8 deadlifts?

Please I need advice.

>>35121277

y-you too?

>>35121389

No. That's just dumb why would you do that?

>>35121413
Weak
Back
Afraid of muscle imbalances
Muscle imbalances cause injury

>>35119777
did you steal my spreadsheet???

>>35121418

You're going to be strengthening your back while doing deadlifts, aren't you?

Also stop it with the muscle imbalance bullshit. You're not imbalanced, you're weak. Chances are your deadlift form is just shit and you could be pulling a lot more.

>>35121430
Yeah I'm not about to be taking advice from you so you can stop now.

this felt hard so i have a feeling that....

>>35121435

I think you'll find that not a damn poster on /plg/ will disagree with my that intentionally retarding your squat progress because you think your "back is weak" is stupid.

So maybe go try asking a current body thread, where they may give you the answer you already want to hear. Because here we don't intentionally hold back our total.
