When doing bench with chains on sheiko, is the weight in the table the weight when chains are accounted for, or just the weight of the bar and plates?

Asking again:
Anyone else ran/running PNP2?
Im finding it really hard to do all 3 lifts on the same day at this point. Today I was programmed to do:
142KG Squats for 3 sets
103KG Bench for 5 sets
170KG Deads for 2 sets
@85KGbw
And by the time I got to deadlifts I was just mentally and physically fucked, didn't even get up to my working weights because it felt so slow
go packers
surely tomorrow wont be at all like 3 weeks ago

How much do you guys squat with no belt and sleeves? I did some today, I lift around 8-10% less than what I'd do normally, is it ok?

>>35629101
I'm about 10% less for squat, and any difference for deadlift is honestly marginal. I probably don't "get" anything out of it for bench but I wear it for heavy reps anyway just to remind myself to keep my abs and lats tight.

I can't mentally force myself to hold even a second longer than a minute in couch stretch kek.
Worst is that I can't even get half way up and this kind of have to hold in a push-up position to trigger a pain - this is mental torture.
God i am a pussy
>>35629449
any tips on the couch stretch? Does your couch have to be perfect for it? do you lean into it? I feel like I'm hitting nothing but my ankle
>>35629046
Mustard is disgusting so pretty much anything
I usually use a standard pork rub and it always turns out great.
I'f I'm making a roast in the crock-pot I'll season it with dry ranch mix and dry gravy mix and it's delicious.
>>35629463
Lmao, ankle really hurts yea.
But the other shit hurts more so i don't care.
I do it up against a wall because couch isn't high enough for leg.
Well, if you get your knee as close to the wall as you can, then upright, ass pressed against to stretch legs heeel and then flex that legs glute you should die from the pain, IMHO
>>35629463
Try to get your shin against the wall/couch, then flex yo butt.
>>35629472
>Mustard is disgusting
Baby detected.
>>35629385
Mark bell meme shoes are the best thing I've ever squatted in. The stability zone thing on the side is surprisingly amazing
>>35629472

Don't go over your pain threshold lad, focus on breathing and really making the stretched muscles relax. It takes a lot of focus to do it and it's not comfortable

Bob Couch – Pump Iron Lyrics
Well working real hard I’m just a middle class man, working for a man that I can’t stand.
Sometimes it takes all I got to get me through the day.
So when I get home about half past five, I need to do something that helps me unwind.
I need to do something that keeps me from going insane.
I need to pump iron.
I need to push out another set.
I need to pump iron.
I got to work off all this sweat.
You see but working out my muscles I’m relaxing my mind and after an hour or two I’ll find, my whole outlook on life is shiny and new.
Hahaha
I just remembered when I wanted to... (You're gonna laugh) ...trip here lmao

Dude, rhyming a word or phrase with the same exact word or phrase is actually a total fucking power move and more people need to do it. And he actually rhymes man with stand tbf.

Is the anon that proposed a 3pl8 static hold for time here?
>>35630044
>this fucking pussy
>>35629918
Well, we'd stretch everytime we trained (4 times a week), before and after. We'd do dynamic stuff and short static stretches (20s max) before, and looong static stretches after (2 mins+). You really have to work hard for it, but once you have it, you keep most of it with minimal effort

nope
it was raining so i went to my dorm gym instead of walking 2 miles to my usual one, and as a result i had to use the lat pulldown machine and the row machine for my back day instead of counterbalanced chinups and tbar row that i usually do. how many gains have i lost?
>>35630239
its in lbs and yes he is the weakest person on this board
>>35628892
it was mostly just a consulting call. he said i had good technique and stuff. That he thinks i should use a less wide bench grip as a bench variation to build strength and bring my sumo stance in a tad. I will probably get coaching for like the 11 weeks before collegiate nats. My main issue was the benefits of coaching in general, not TSA coaching, and he said he had the same concerns and wasn't really sure if coaching was helpful for everyone/most people but i think i'm gonna give it a try.
>>35630266
No, I am the weakest one here.
>>35629073
>not voting for based rand paul.
but yeah i'm probably not voting in the general election.
>>35629463
i use the wall desu. ankle hurts a little but flexor should hurt most.
>>35630136
really? i don't think its that hard though?
>>35630240
>the best condiment is no condiment
Ahem.
>>35630264
machines are typically better than freeweight if you're going for mass/the pump, so you probably MADE gains if anything to be honest

do I try and do 225 next sesh or wait until I can do 205x8? I want my first time to be special, so I don't wanna struggle and barely make 1 rep.
advice on losing 2pl8 virginity?
>>35630078
I see, I see.
Does it take years to notice change though?
That's what I always get m.
>>35630385
what you do is decline because it's better than flat bench and powerlifting is pointless
>>35630385
I'd say you could probably get it now. 205 is just slightly over 90% of 225, so if you can get 4 I'd say there's a solid chance of hitting 225 as long as you are well rested and don't let your head get in the way of your muscles.
>>35630385
What's the heaviest you've ever lifted for a double or single?
>>35630385
LP until 2pl8.
you gain nothing from a grindy 1RM just to say you did lmao2pl8
and if you fail, you wasted a day you couldve been training.
>>35630409
nah, I was able to kick properly after a few weeks, it took me 3 years in order to do a split tho, even tho I think you could do it in a few months if you really dedicate yourself. As far as (proper) stretching goes, more=better. For PL purposes I wouldn't go as far as being able to do a split, just work on your mobility until you can hit the right positions in the 3 lifts, then I'd start a more conservative approach
>>35630462
Cool.
Well, it's more about fixing my APT than anything else.
It might more, even thought I don't put too much hope into it.

Also work on strengthening your abs and glutes. Planks and hip thrusts are the way to go, be sure to keep a posteriorly rotated pelvis while planking
>>35630525
SPF judge says 3 white lights, great lift
>>35630539
point taken but I can hit depth in that suit right now without weight
The TRX is basically death tho
>>35630558
I'm positive I wouldn't be able to hit depth in either. I had a hard time hitting depth in just wraps when I tried them.

If you buy a squat suit for strong man never buy an Inzer
That's all.
Never buy anything inzer unless it's belt, wrist or knee wraps.
Could I make decent gains on a weekly schedule like:
1. Squat/dead
2. Bench
3. Squat/dead
4. Bench

>>35630653
I want someone good to join me on my single ply journey desu
It's just right for us. Both of us are disillusioned raw lifters who realise we can't be good, but we might be able to eke some more PBs out of something provided we have the pain tolerance. Which we do or we wouldn't keep powerlifting in the face of no positive reinforcement for over a year

>>35630704
why are you set on staying at 205 before 225?
why not do 210, 215, 220 and then have a solid 225? you'll be done within 2 weeks and have 225 clean and easy instead of jumping and probably fucking up
especially if you haven't handled anything higher than 205 before and not done any RMs before
>>35630531
Thanks for your input lad!
Will incoporate these into my training.
The thing about planking - you basically mean I shouldn't allow my hips to "hang through"?
>>35630743
I benched 140kg two days ago.
I didn't even feel happy about it. Just wondered what took me so long.
Aaron, do you remember joy? I don't. I remember excitement though. Excitement was opening a parcel with my last squat suit "OH BOY I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THIS ONE" I thought
>>35630781
Actually that's a lie. I remember joy. The only time I felt like this was first two times I deadlifted 280kg in comp.
Powerlifting is just a habit to me. I can't ever stop. At least I enjoy the act of training, because the results sure don't give me anything
>>35630781
>I didn't even feel happy about it. Just wondered what took me so long.

Yep, squeeze your abs and think about not letting your belly button get closer to the ground. Watch some video tutorial, you can get a better idea
>>35630801
4chan? Nope. It's been purely powerlifting and meeting actually talented people. My eyes are open. They can never be closed.
It's okay though, I find life satisfaction elsewhere, in the quality of friends. And enjoyment in just excercise.

I never missed a set. I never missed a session. I never half arsed it. I struggled with ergs and pieces in rowing. In powerlifting, I can say I truly haven't.
>>35630993
Jesus christ you're an edgy shit. Different people react differently to identical training, and the one that makes the most gains is the most talented(provided other factors are controlled for). No amount of iron lyfe will change the fact that some people can handle more amount of work without getting injured, or have better builds for a big total.

>the one that makes the most gains is the most talented
I wish I could think the way that you do. It would soothe me on sleepless nights.
I ran competitively for 7 years, and I've been coaching runners for 10. Never in a million years would I say that I've got it figured out completely, or that I've maximized my own, or an athlete's potential (within reason).
Most athletes retire mentally far before their body does. Especially around the 8-10 year mark within the same sport.
>>35631460
What do you mean with sensual?
>>35631471
>Most athletes retire mentally far before their body does. Especially around the 8-10 year mark within the same spo
And thus no one of them was talented? You can't really deny that at the top in any given sport, everyone works their hardest and smartest, yet there are still differences between the athletes. Why? Talent.
>>35631382
I like you a lot isley but to say that you havent done many mistakes is just plain wrong
also i dont think wilks programming is any good, and most people here agree with me. I dont doubt that hes a nice guy and a good platform coach, but I think one can make the objective claim that his programming is sub-optimal to say the least
>but he created this and that good lifters
well thats what non-top coaches do, they take credit for the ones they succeed with and never mention the ones that failed
ive seen some people stall for a long time and then start with something new, often one of the so-often called 'canned programs' or 'meme programs', and their total shoot up quite fast.
ive mostly seen you do more or less the same thing over and over
i got my hopes up when you said you were gonna commit to avons sheiko thing, are you still doing that? if you're often straying from the plan then you will not see as good gains as otherwise. so i really hope you're gonna do that and follow through, maybe then you can understand that programming and other factors are not just this tiny coefficient to greatness next to talent. you can work yourself to greatness
im not shitting on you, you are one of my favorite trips. but this cynicism has to go. you put your negative energy into things you cant control[talent] and not into things you can control [mistakes you make in training etc]. its NOT good for progress.
you are still young, this correction can still be made

If I wanted to go to worlds I had to do his program.

With a bit more of a hedonistic approach but also one that engages your sensitive side. Something different.
>>35631566
cool, but now thats behind you
pls listen to my other points
>>35631591
I'm still doing avon's sheiko and the program is basically half my own making because equipped.
I'm going up a weightclass too.
Btw I never half finish a program. I do what the session says I will. Always.
>>35631608
good
though i worry the equipped sessions will be a problem
listened to CYC on a podcast and he said he only puts on his shirt/suit like 3 times per year in training
>>35631624
That... Is a lot like the wilks cycle.
But.
Cyc knows how to lift equipped already
I don't. Big difference.

the power the national feds have is fucking dumb. im competing in the junior european championship in a few months and im being forced to attend the entire fucking 5 day event for some reason, i told them it was difficult for me planning wise and they said i could just not go...
that with a lot of other bullshit, not gonna go into to much detail but i fucking hate how they think they have any authority. i got this far on my own and i dont need some appointed dipshit yelling cues at me

Reminder decline is for unathletic skinny fats who lack the basic coordination to retract their scapula so they rely on changing the angle so they can't use their delts

You're not the one competing, your nation is. They can send anyone they want and need to be sure that you won't hancott and ruin it.

like i said im not gonna go into to much detail because i dont want to be recognized on here.
for whats it worth there a lot of national european feds that are being run this way
>>35631739
ive trained myself pretty succesfully for over 5 years now, im pretty sure i know whats best for myself.
this process however requires some sense of self criticism and objectivity, which you seem to lack looking at your previous whiny apologetic posts about doing everything perfectly even though your lifts are mediocre at best.
>>35631791
>ive trained myself pretty succesfully for over 5 years now, im pretty sure i know whats best for myself.

Joking aside, Isley, he has a point. You might benefit from some self-exploration as far as training is concerned. Have you ever made your own programming, or have you just always been following others?

Yeah mate, decided powerlifting isn't for me because i can't be arsed with it, i know i'd at least be good, i'm naturally strong and that, my squat could be sick, but just be arsed with it all. i still lift but not looking to compete or anything yano what i mean
started boxing a while back which i'm really enjoying, the endurance aspect is fuckin taking me to bits though lol
how's hoisting steel cylinders going?
>>35631884
i have made my own programming and at this point have over 2 years of data regarding my progress explained with like 25 different variables (anything from volume to level of work stress)
i literally have a model explaining e1rm out of these variables, i statistically know what drives my progress. or at least way better than anyone else.
perks of being an autist i suppose

give it 18 months and you'll be one of them bald neanderthal types forced into a rubber exoskeleton ready to move 300kg 2 inches and claim a lift
well in your case more like 30 but close enough
I like boxing and i have a brutal explosive punch so i'm better than most other people who've been training the same amount of time as me, but the experience lot just dance around and gas me ha the snide cunts
oh i got my degree too
Vid from today's session (ft. wife). Went pretty well. Knees were upset with me by the 5th set of squats but I just put more tape on and worked through it lmao.
Feelin good about squats regardless.

My deadlift is shit. Today was Texas Method intensity day, and I squatted 5x350, benched 3x265 and pulled 5x355. I've pulled more in the past, but I'm trying to improve my form. I never have any problems keeping my torso tight and spine straight on squats, but keeping my back neutral on deadlifts seems much harder for some reason. I dunno if it's just a mental thing that'll be fixed by better cues, or because of my shitty hamstring mobility causing me to round my back instead of purely hinging at the hips when I bend over too far, or both. I'm considering adding in some light deadlifts earlier in the week to really focus on form, in addition to the mobility work I'm already doing. You guys have any other ideas/suggestions? I really don't want to snap my shit up.
Thanks brehs

I actually will be. My coach is spotting me here (btw I just bench 3 plates, shit was so cash) and apart from the bit where he's a lecturer in biomechanics for a nearby university, he's your iconic bald tattooed injured powerlifter.
But he can still bench 180kg raw when he's at the business end of a training cycle
>>35631989
That sounds bad ass
>>35632164
east london hahaha how are you coping with all the poor brown people?
kinell mate 180, is he natty yeah? what are your raw lifts these days? did you get that 280 dead you were after
oh does supermong still post?
basically just fill me in on everything that's happened over the last 9 months or so

Hey guys, not planning to compete in PL but I just wanna get stronger, do you think I can do front squats 3* a week for a 5*5? Current 1RM is 100kg
Thanks
>>35632379
volume
>>35632406
Why not at least one back squat day?
>>35632406
yeh why not
>>35632451
Idk I guess I just don't like back squatting, do you think that would limit my progression?
Also is 5*5 better than 3*5?
Thanks
>>35632469
If you're worried about all around strength I think it's important to include the back squat.
Either will work honestly. I personally hate doing more than a triple on front squat so I'd do 5x3 or something like that but that's just me. If I had to pick I'd say start with 3x5 then move to 5x5 later.
Absolutely rekt today boys

Is this something to worry about? Obviously I won't be wearing them for DL's again but are they damaged or is it just cosmetic?

do you attempt the 3x3-6 every session? and I presume you just try to hit all 6 triples and stop if you fail?
>>35633161
>3x3-6
American sets and reps, please. Yeah, hit the six sets, some of which might be doubles, then do two or three back off 10s.

I've been having issues with balance backward/forward on squats when I get to maxes. Anyone else ever have issues with it? I'm not sure if its my shoes or my abs or what
>>35634212
Maybe you're just Fucking gay

thanks friend

>>35634212
What kind of shoes do you wear for squats? How long have you been training?
Is it one particular direction you lose your balance or are you just in general wobbly?
>>35634212
I usually think about pushing through my heels, and that seems to help. I used to have problems with that though, especially when I first started wearing a belt
>>35633160
it's a new point of weakness in the material. they'll stretch out more there and less everywhere else, creating uneven support
shouldn't tear off tho. they'll still keep you warm, and you weren't wearing them for the weight boost anyways so the loss in efficiency doesn't matter that much
my computers doing that thing where it doesn't start up again
Oh fuck now it's telling me

No no no this can't be good

anyone know where to get any of these shoes in australia? I've got the money to buy them online but I'd like to try them on before I pick.
or even better, does anyone know if a size 12 in an ordinary nike/adidas shoe is the same as a size 12 in their respective wl variations?
