how many sets (triples) should I be doing with 90% of my max bench press?

>>36013166
0

>>36013152
But you squatted 615... M

lmao

Copied from last thread

>>36013006

I can't say if t's effecting anything yet because I haven't experimented long enough with my program. I used to spoto/floor press after my working set on my primary bench day, but I found myself short of time given my school/work/gym situation and built an "alternative squat/bench" day where I perform spoto/floor/front squat as the primary movement.

I suppose my intentions are to apply different stimulus ala-conjugate-method.

>>36013166

In the past, I've gone 3x3. Get a spotter, experiment and see what works.

dumbass fat fuck what was he expecting exactly?

>>36013233
Yeah.

>>36013425
He only said sheiko was shit for deadlift and maybe bench tbf, said he made squat improvements

but of course that was """""""""""""""""good mood"""""""""""""""" norsie

>>36013430
Was it any good? How much did you increase your lifts?

>>36013437

I just personally couldn't handle it, crashed and burned RIP in pepperonis

my skills test went "okay" ish, and after a fucking 5 week peaking period / taper, every one of my lifts was still garbage

what does that tell you? I fucking crashed and burned

durrrrrrrrr

>>36013849
I take a week off, then just fuck around with babbyweight and start chasing pumps for another week or two to let my nagging pains go away, then go into another training cycle.

i did silly unimportant lifts for two weeks after my meet. i think i lifted the monday after though, so i got back into it pretty quickly.

>>36013849
I'd suggest a week.

Do some other physical activity if you can, hiking is AWESOME. or go to a park and play some sand volley ball or something.

>>36013209

>>36013849

I jumped into a deload week after my meet and it was a waste of time I felt like death for the whole week and I was still burnt out the next week when I started with proper weight again.

Take a week off - get healthy mentally and physically.

Truth hurts doesn't it?

havin a wank


>>36015198
nah, i'm not actually pathetic.

you tho... shit

>>36015132
It lets me get more work out of lighter weights and emphasizes control and reversal strength at the bottom of the lift more than paused benching does. If I can catch and hold a weight just off my chest, actually pausing it on my chest feels like a joke by comparison.

I also just like the Jekyll/Hyde dichotomy I've created by alternating Spoto pressing (control the weight) and slingshot benching (go apeshit and just move the bar). It's fun.

>>36015167
>You've been very clear that you enjoy every second of this.
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Do you actually want me to type up my program?

>>36015232
>I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Do you actually want me to type up my program?

No, I just mean that I've always got the impression that you really enjoy this, while Norse, Joe, and Boardy have been existing in this quagmire of self doubt and loathing.

Maybe the conjecture I'm trying to find by linking training style and happiness is incorrect, and really I'm not accounting for what's going on in y'alls life outside of training.

>>36015232
gotcha. do your control the descent on your spotos? Pause for any length of time at the bottom?
>>36015254
i think this tBh. you aren't going to find some overarching theme of "oh if you do this type of training you'll never be happy" because people have different goals and are willing to do different things for their goals - pyschologically - as well as different physical limitations, on top of outside stressors.

>>36015260
This is definitely true, there are people in my gym who love sticking rigidly to stuff like 5/3/1 and the like, and have records. By that same token there are record holders who run no program and just lift heavy 5 days a week, gotta find what suits you

>>36015260
>do you control the descent on your spotos? Pause for any length of time at the bottom?
When the reps are lower, yes to both. Right now they're just controlled enough on the descent to keep them in the proper groove and there's no pause, just an immediate return to sender.

>>36015254
Ah, gotcha. I think it's probably a little from column A, a little from column B. Even at times when I've just been fruitlessly grinding away I've enjoyed lifting. My current routine also has a whole lot more wiggle room than most of the "You must do it by the numbers or Boris will kill you!" stuff I see guys on here doing.

>>36015355
gotcha
>>36015350
yeah and its also based on why people are training. If you're training to have fun and be normie strong, then doing sheiko and being weaker than you actually are due to fatigue is not going to be fun for you and you'd be better off doing 5/3/1 or cube or something. If you're training solely to do well at competition and your comp numbers are the only thing that matters to you regarding training, you can problem slog through high volume or less "fun" training and still be happy

Dead thread.

What are you training next? Not that anyone's actually interested.

>>36015355
I treat the descent like I would a comp bench press. Although I'm of the field that lightly touches, rather than sinking deep.

of course it would be much easier if I would eat greasy sugary shit but I don't want to eat that disgusting trash

>>36017422
it's probably my anti depressants that kill my appetite

I take sertraline and trazodone. from what I have read sertraline generally leads to loss of appetite and trazodone to increased appetite but I only started losing appetite after starting with the trazodone

>>36017057
If you want to be a shredded sthetics cunt you're in the wrong sport. Just be big and jacked at 15%.

>>36017438
some additional info:

I take sertraline for a few months longer than trazodone

but I think I started with trazodone about 5-6 months ago and have lost 4.5kg since

I don't plan to stop with the anti depressants any time soon though, they make a big difference

Moderate to high carb depending on your goals, moderate to low fat. Regular meals, more carbs around when you work out.

Perhaps they did, but now I'll never find out

>>36017644
I'll have you know I have just surpassed 200 wilks, more than anyone I know irl!

>>36017647
You should probably spend more time outside meeting people then.

>>36017590
I felt and acted more alpha too. Because of the boost in my mood.

>>36017680
then how did you notice low test

the anti depressants should have helped with low energy as well. plateau in the gym or what?

>>36017707
Yeah, big plateau. But now I realize it was because of bad programming. Otherwise I felt fine.

>>36017738
I am on a plateau for a long time myself

ironically I still made progress while being depressed as fuck but now...

well, it's a combination of not following my program, not lifting consistently, not eating enough. whenever I am making progress again there seems to be something that ruins everything again. stress and busy life, illness, 'injury'

but now I am trying my best to step it up again and see where that gets me

if I don't make progress I will test my test

it's frustrating... one of my gymbros is 19 years old, only 2 years of lifting. in the past 6 months he increased his bench 5RM by almost 30kg and his squat 5RM by 45kg. he is almost 100kg with less than 15% bf. I started younger than him and am older, I lift for much longer, I barely make any progress, my lifts aren't where I want them to be and I am only 90kg now that I lost weight but still look fatter. I pay much more attention to proper form and biomechanics but still get issues while he has none. my lifts are still better but he is catching up

yes, I did not train seriously for many years. yes, I had problems due to depression and so on. but I would lie if I said that I am not jealous as fuck

First day of Bill Starr's

Not used to the low volume at all. Kind of concerned how slow the top set was considering it was only 83.5% too. Might just be detrained a bit from the 2 weeks of bullshitting around. I hope that's it at least.

>>36017811
If you compare yourself to others your mentality will always be fucked. Turn that jelly into hard work, you've outlined that you're clearly not doing the best you can.

>well, it's a combination of not following my program, not lifting consistently, not eating enough. whenever I am making progress again there seems to be something that ruins everything again. stress and busy life, illness, 'injury'

Focus on correcting that, and get over this entitlement you've developed that causes you to believe that because you've read about form and biomechanics that you deserve gains

>>36017811
What program are you doing? I've increased my lifts by a lot doing Greg Cuckolds free programs. Since december Bench 235->255 Squat 320->360 Deadlift 420->455. Done all that while having testosterone levels under 200ng/dl. Testosterone isn't everything.

>>36017911
You would make gains with any program at those numbers. Don't shill Cuckols here

>>36017822
funny enough my squats only increase with low volume, but then again i do high bar while i'm not even suited for it, which makes me tired mentally because i just keep thinking about not screwing form

>>36017955
We'll see how it does, but it felt super weird being done with all my squat sets within 15ish minutes.

>>36017920
Nuckols is a bro. Stay frustrated, seeeen.

>>36017911
Which squat program did you go with?

>>36017990
how many sets you usually did before starting bill stars ?

tho bill stars does advise doing 5x10 squats in TSSS

>>36017530
>BPU has own monos benches bars and set of comp plates

Whats the money from the thousand members being spent on??

>>36017998
3x week beginner. Was a lot more volume than I'm used to, so it worked well for me.

>>36018028
Lining pockets.

>>36018009
Depending on the day somewhere between 3-6 but with Bill Starr I'd only really count the last 2 sets of 5 as "working sets" whereas previously all 3-6 of my sets would be working sets.

I'll probably stick with it as written because I'm hoping the low volume will help me recover a bit this month since I had planned on a 4 week off-season and cut it to two weeks. Plus I'm cutting so I'll want to keep the volume relatively low anyway.

>>36017995
Lmao fuck off Buda, haven't you got some little kids to get trolled the fuck out of by for a living?

>>36018053
Like you?

Anyone did Candytoe's 6 week while cutting ?

>>36018049
Do sets across then instead of ramping? Or lower the jumps so each set is closer to the top set

>>36018085
I didn't really dislike it, I just wasn't used to it.

I've done the program before and it did pretty well for me so I trust it. I might try lowering the jumps a bit though to feel like I'm doing more work that actually matters. Thanks for the suggestion.

>>36018059
>Candytoe's 6 week while cutting ?
Probably not a great idea.

High metabolic stress (high volume) sessions and cutting don't seem to go well together.

You'd be better off with Hepburn (no pump added), 5/3/1, or some reduced volume DUP.

>>36018147
Any template for Hepburn lad ? Would really appreciate it

>I wish I could train every single day
You can. Cut your volume in half each session and go ever day.

>>36018667
>My ligaments just can't
My experience is that connective tissue feels better when working out more often. Your mileage may vary.

>>36018709
>life's sooooooooo fucking boooooooring
STFU you little NEET. Either lift more, or get a job. Talking about being bored makes you a boring ass bitch.

>>36018652
I train 6 days a week. Bench 3x squat 3x and deadlift 2x. I could do full body 3x a week, but I split it up because I like working out almost every day. So I do upper/lower 6 days a week with the same amount of volume as a 3x a week full body.

How to eat a lot and not get diabetes

Really?

>>36018857

I'm having a shit day with this keyboard because swiftjey crashed

if a man slaps or grabs my girlfriend's ass. what do I do? punch him? that'll probably result in a full on fist fight,
and then police, and reimbursement (or whatever the word is, pay him money for punching first)

what should an honorable man do??

>>36019095
swiftkey is so good I was really slow before, I can also write in english without the words auto correcting to my native language

>>36019131
Go up to him and tell him to apologise. When he says no just calling him a fucking degenerate.
At this point he should hit you and then it's you who claims the money.

>>36019131
Spray him like the dog he is with a water spray bottle you keep in your back pocket for situations like this

>>36019131
>what should an honorable man do??
Whatever your reaction is.

If you're beta as shit, you can talk to him and be a good man.

That being said, most women would prefer their man to go to jail for killing the fucker.

Look at all the chicks lining up to "marry" guys on death row.

>>36019152
>and then it's you who claims the money.
This guy is a cuck.

>>36019131
>make him punch you first
>by the time you managed this you should have enough witnesses

>>36019131
Shoot him. If you girlfriend has a problem with that, starts to feel guilty, or tries to tell the cops, shoot her too.

>>36019152
>>36019173
so I should let him punch me after grabbing my gf's ass? and then hope I can maybe land a punch on him before he escapes the situation?

>>36019161
>Whatever your reaction is
sounds good. I would probably wanna beat him. But I'm so afraid of legal consequences.

Power clean his lifeless body and throw it to the curb.

>>36019228
>I'm so afraid of legal consequences.
If he's assaulting your GF, then he is obviously NOT afraid of the consequences.

Don't let him get away with it. Your GF will secretly loathe you and faun secretly over her long lost ass-slapping chad.

>>36019261
>Your GF will secretly loathe you
She would. That's true. So I fear inaction and I fear action. But I think action is the more honorable way to do it. And no matter the legal stuff, I would be justified to beat him. After all it's a crime to touch another person (slap on the ass, for example)

Problem solved

Anyone else here basically always tired and reall sleepy during non-active phases?

Whenever I sit in a bus, wait for something or only having boring shit / nothing to solve at work I become dizzy and really tired to the point where I fight with sleep.

And that even happen when I sleep 9 hours - is this normal?

>>36019363
no it's not normal, but I get the same thing.

Whenever I leave for gym I feel EXTRMELY tried or I'll, every single time. I travel quite far and the jouney makes me tired.

I have about 1 good session every 4 sessions. The rest I randomly stall or feel like shit.

It's not normal, but I don't know what you can do.
