>>36546856
It hurts the accuracy of your max, your percentages are probably higher than the program says. If time is an issue for you you should consider dropping your maxes a small amount, and then push yourself to complete your workout in a specified amount of time. Hope that helps

No if you switch before 3 plate your knees will shatter and you will die

>>36546902
tbf this is supposedly a good thing for beginners. its better than making contact in the wrong spot and letting bar crash happen, and it can help progressively leading you into catching lower and consistently.

It is sortof. it's so light for me, i could powerclean it 10 times if I wanted to. And I wasn't really focusing on the clean too much I guess since I was focusing on the jerk. I've done much better cleans b4.

I posted a squat in the last thread 4 u to critique big guy. Mainly my issue is my knees going all over the place as some1 put it.
>>36546902
I caught my other ones lower, I just chose this vid cuz that was my best jerk, but yeah, I cringe when I see that (especially when I see myself do it).
>>36546903
Yes to both.
>>36546863
The bar I squat with costs far more than either 10 cents or $200. Once you add the plates (competition Eleikos, which cost something like $10/kg or something crazy) I'm squatting well over a thousand dollars. U don't even want to include the platform senpai (especially if I'm using the competition platform.. hehe)

>>36546838
>It's why I'm increasing the maxes, no other sheiko has more volume unless I move to the 4 day ones
Why won't you move to the 4-day ones?

>>36546814
Yes. Do sets of 5 and you get good at doing sets of 5. Strength is somewhat specific to the rep range you train it in.

>>36546794
I'd suggest you do a program with more volume and a more thought out periodisation.

>>36546945
I find its hard to wake people who are blacked out as well, glad we've come to the same conclusion

Re-think your current life outside of the gym.

Or just keep being a retard and not progressing, your choice.

If you think the problem is the routine you do in the gym, you'll never get over your current plateau.

Not inherently bad, but if the program starts asking for you to do more intensity it may be beyond your reach. But like I said if time isn't a problem for you then keep going, just keep in mind that if you are going to max out your probably going to want to pull down your max a bit

Wilks athletes are doing 3*5 with 90% of their 1RM because they train with 3*5 mostly.

There are several different templates with differing volume, you don't have to pick the most advanced.

Im re-working some kinks in my programming to perfect sheiko; adjustments are to be made to these programs and not followed blindly
>>
>>36547122
Boris said somewhere on the forum not to adjust if there are only a few weeks left. If the only thing that's left is the peaking period it makes sense to go with low maxes to dissipate fatigue.

>>36547171
Of course it's bait
>>
>>36546837
wrong thread, olyfaggot.

Started reading into Sheiko because it's all you guys talk about that is lifting related. Then I stumble upon this:

"- If you use a percentage of a desired result (not real), you will inevitably find yourself in a state of overtraining and fatigue! This will lead to a nervous condition causing loss of sleep and appetite leaving you with no desire to train, with diminishing results."

you're an idiot and don't know shit, your knowledge is laughable and comparable to someone who took a intro to strength and conditioning theory class at a community college
this routine is pre-set and taking that much time or adjusting the weight like that would be retarded, unless it went up
>>36546760
are you practicing RPE training and autoregulating the numbers?
Look at the week ahead, go up to 90% on squats and deads whenever you want to
I just did 97.5% on deadlifts yesterday and the highest it wanted was 85. Feel great and I know the week after doesnt have really high volume or abnormal intensity, so since youve ran it 4 times doing something like I do would be easy. By increasing your 1rm by 10% youre basically doing 90% for doubles compared to your original one rep max?

btw, Sheiko himself said to do this, because everyone gets "anxious" about doing 90%

I'm dyel af so take this with a (large) grain of salt, but this has been working for me. If my workset is 3pl8 I would do:

135 1x5
185 1x4
205 1x3
225 1x 2-3
265 1x 1-2

I basically just work up, adding 20-40lbs (or 10-20% of workset) or so and reducing the rep ranges. Once I finish the 275 I do one single at around 90-92% to more or less "get used to" how heavy the weight will feel during the workset.

That last warmup would be like

290 1x1

And then I go into my workset of

315 1x5+

May not be optimal, but I've been consistently adding weight to the bar every workout and I do not feel tired after my worksets.

Also, I rest 2 minutes between warmups and then a large 7-8 minute rest right before my workset.

Why are you low on test? Age? Bad nutrition? HRT? Off cycle?

It really depends on the trainee, you have to go try things out with him and adjust accordingly - specially if he's not a novice.

But with lower test you will have slower recovery and slower growth/progression. It's also easier to accumulate fatigue. Volume can still be handled fine as long as you're eating enough (and not overdoing it).
So basically, slower progression, more spaced out periodization, less intense workouts, higher percentage of "volume" compared to "intensity" work... That sort of stuff.
But this, of course, depends on the trainee. It has to be accompanied and personalised. If you're on the lower end of regular male test-levels, changes do not need to be dramatic at all. But if you're at 5-9 ng/dl of total free test (like me), you have to make big changes to the program (and be a lot more patient).

As for diet, first thing to look at are the micronutrients. Increasing your intake of zinc and magnesium to normal levels, increasing vitamins A and D, C and iron (for anaemia), and even saturated fats, can increase your test levels a bunch and even bring them to normal levels.
As for macros, eat on a caloric surplus accordingly to the amount of volume in your routine, and try to pay extra attention to the intake of protein.

>>36548057

Snatches (mostly drills and technique, volume work) and volume back squats (70%). Getting the body warmed up for the week.
And a couple of hip thrust sets at the end of it, ofc.

I'm assuming you wanted a critique on your squat? Or were you just being a cheeky cunt...

When you come up out of the whole, you start to straighten out the knee, then straighten out the hip, then finish extending the knee. You can see that at 3/7/10 seconds on your webm.

If you watch that Max Aita video, he explains that as you go into the hole let your knees go where-ever they're going to go, then keep them pushed out while you extend your hips - as if you were pressing your knees into a wall or some shit.

That way you're not taking tension out of the quads when you're coming back up. Seriously, watch the Max Aita vid - it's great stuff.

Seems fine. You're not putting yourself in a dangerous position when ripping off the floor. I see you're using the classic Rippetoe setup. Shins are nice and vertical. Watch your habit of hitching: if you slow it down to half speed you can watch as you move your knees back under the bar ever-so-slightly at about the 8 second mark.

For the few who do like anecdotes.

I did bulgarian method(i guess) as a natty for squat and bench since november. Two workouts per day mon-fri one workout sat/sun. Only had 2 rest days since. Only on one occasion i felt overtrained and couldnt even bench 1 plate but i recovered the next day. I did it until today because im going on vacation right now for 10 days and no gym. Im def gonna tone it down when i get back.

Im mainly happy to report that i got through it. People complain their 3 day per week shit is tough...i learned a lot about fatigue, diet, and fishoil over these last few weeks. Take your fishoils guys.

Results: started 160kg bench for 1 rep now i can do 4. Squat is only up 4kg so 229kg but i can hit it every day and not just once on a lucky day.

Mainly an endurance gains. One power nap and youre good to go for round 2 which is awesome. A few rest days coming up will hopefully give me ultra energy. Also a lot of people have been commenting on my physique finally. Walking down the street i got some attention, so i guess mass? My weight didnt change and i dont feel different. I didnt take any body pics unfortunatly.

Thanks for reading.

are the following memes or are they worthwhile
>fish oil
>protein powder
>BCAAs
>creatine
considering buying at least one of these with my tax return
I know layne norton says that he takes BCAAs on workout days, whey shakes only before meets, and that creatine monohydrate is very good.is pretty based, and I trust him. was just wondering if anyone here has experience with any of them.

my uncle just claimed that my aunt once benched 175lbs at 50kg bw
he's full of shit, right?

isn't 175 powerlifting tier for a female?
and 50kg bw sounds starvation tier

I know. I am looking forward to this vacation. Im definitely going to gain some weight too.

Im actually all packed up and driving away in 2 hours.

The singles feel so easy Im just scared about straining myself because I am always lifting and I feel i am not 100%.

I guess ill report again in 2 weeks with videos.
>>
>>36549726
Creatine is not a meme, it has helped me get a few more reps out since I started taking it.

Protein powder is only needed if you have a hard time getting enough protein everyday.

I take fish oil but no BCAAs, its supposed to help with joints I believe.

If I would get anything, it'd be creatine desu

have you had headaches or anything from the creatine?
I've seen a couple of places that if you aren't drinking absurd amounts of water, it is pretty easy to get dehydrated.

feel so fucking good. First workout of my third week back after a 4 month break. Decided to blow my planned workout out the window cause I was feeling fantastic. Worked up to my previous 1rm bench but stalled halfway through. Seems like I'm a little under 5kg weaker on my bench. Pretty stoked. Or maybe I'm just remembering how to express my strength again.

Also, for the first time ever I feel like I actually know how to utilise leg drive. One little fucking sentence made all the difference

If someone gets headaches from creatine they might want to look into rock collecting.

you'll be fine bro, just drink water. The worst you will get is bloating

>>36549891

Are you taking regular creatine monohydrate or some preworkout shit with caffeine and stuff.

My friend was taking a preworkout and counting it as creatine. He was wondering how i take it everyday.
>>
>>36549726

BCAAs are a little expensive for what you get. They're really only necessary if you're training fasted. Don't be rused by pills, if you're going to use it you need 5-10 grams of the stuff at a time. IIRC the most important component in them is the leucine.

I get this too sometimes, I feel like I'm about to black out on the last rep. You have to breathe properly, as in take a big ass breathe before each rep and then hold it for the entire duration of the rep before you release.

Once I started doing that the drowziness/blacking out stopped for the most part.

You should run The Spotoshot Method 2.0 instead.

I think you'd like it. I wouldn't run it as meet prep or anything. But for just fucking around and getting stronger it's fun.

The SSB is an unrelated, but much beloved, beast.

There are legit programesque underpinnings for The Spotoshot Method 2.0 though, my SSB nonsense is just LP. It doesn't warrant a restricted copyrighted trademarked name yet. Solid suggestion though.

JM presses with the SSB, while wearing a slingshot, onto boards. With chains.

Because you can, that's why.
>>
>>36550605

Oh fuck yeah, there's gotta be chains and bands all over the fucking place.

everyone says my dl is fine, but i still get some lower back stiffness the next day.

it's interfering with my squatting, what can i do?
>>
>>36550618

Probably is just normal fatigue. Either stretch it out, suck it up, or squat before you deadlift during the week.

>>36550605

Here's a tutorial for you, since you're clearly unfamiliar with this essential powerlifting technique:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWIymIQbiaU
>>
>>36550635

As bizarre as it is, that kind of looks like it might be a good exercise - it certainly solves the main issue with the JM press, which is people having crazy inconsistent patterns with it and/or just getting sloppy as fuck. Ain't gonna divebomb shit with those prongs pointing down.

I asked this in qtddtot and nobody replied, hoping someone here knows.

basically I'm looking to buy new shoes for lifting since my old chucks are literally falling apart. Looked around at what people were saying and for squats Johnny Candito says that if you are at least 6' (which I am) then you should seriously consider getting olympic weightlifting shoes, meanwhile the powerliftingtowin guy says olympic weightlifting shoes should not be used for wide stance squats, and I do in fact squat outside of shoulder width.

For deadlifts Candito says any cheap flat shoe will do (including Chucks) but the pl2w guy says they are pretty bad because the sole is still really compressible and you should look for some other shoe with a flat sole..

also the link in the OP is broken.
>>
>>36546624
lads

i have a competition in april but my frat announced elections for the same day

i was gonna just not go but i got nominated for pledge parent, which is a pretty coveted position i'd love to have

shit sempais
>>
>>36550695

I've had good luck with surf shoes, if you're looking more for the flat soled stuff. Not that different to deadlift slippers but a fuckton cheaper.

The flat/heeled debate seems to be one of those things that no-one has a blanket answer for. I've seen guys squat better narrow stance in flats and guys who use heels with a wide stance and pretty much every fucking combination of stance, proportions and shoe work for somebody.

The heels might be worth a shot but I wouldn't be in a rush to dump a ton of cash on them.
>>
nn lads

>>36550738

>>
>>36550719
I see, so it really depends on the person. Makes sense since I trust advice from both of those people in my post but they still starkly disagreed on this topic. I'll just shop around for flat shoes of higher quality than chucks with a hard sole and arch support, thanks.
>>
>>36550765

I think there's definite trends involved (you do see a lot more heels with narrower stance squatting and relatively few with wider stances) but like everything there's gonna be people who don't fit the norm for whatever reasons.
>>
>>36550715
Things like frats exist outside of teenaged American movies?

Wow.

First time in a commercial gym in months and the first things I see are 2 curlbros db benching 50kg for 2 grinder reps at 1/16th ROM with a bro spot

Literally wtf
>>
>>36551136
what the frick?

>>36551136

There's no hope for commercial gyms here. None.

>>36551136

>>
>>36551136
>tfw lifting in a commercial gym ever since because nothing else exists

But I found quite some nice bros - I don't care how they lift, most of them do no legs bro splits, but they are funny people and thus fun to work out with.

One guy also does powerlifting - but he does grey skull and makes very slow gains somehow, despite having beginner lifts.

Is grey skull bad? I really want him to progress
>>
>>36551295
Tbh I think greyskull is the best of the SS type beginner programs. Dude's doing something wrong.
>>
>>36551295

If you're judging based on /fit/ standards, everyone who isn't andy Bolton has slow progress.
