Chadlex pls

TL;Dr how do i approach cutting for powerlifting?

I hit my first plateau for weekly gains. 315/265/405. I'm not sure if I need a new program or if I should deload, and if so, how to deload. The thing is I also want to lose 10 pounds by Independence day. I want to be hanging around 8-14% bf. I'm 6'4 212lbs right now. So how do I cut while making gains?

>>36915866
your mums pancakes are amazing ;))

>>36915902
just get a lipo you dip. Its free in ameriland

or use dnp and be done with it in less than a month

>>36915902
>So how do I cut while making gains?

Get good at planing meal times, and be prepared to lose a little strength. Ten lbs should be easy though.

Tbh I doubt ten pounds in either direction makes a noticeable difference at that height.

>>36915918
I'm definitely taking nutrition more seriously. But I think I can tack on 80 lbs to my total by the 4th, mostly because I know I haven't been eating half the protein I should have been. I think my body will respond well to being fed well. Is TM is routine du jour for new intermediates?

>>36915934
I'm going to start with 10lbs, could easily go farther. I'll stop whenever I feel most virile

>>36915102
wouldn't you rather eat that dinner stoned though?

Alright that's the only reason I came to this thread goodbye

>>36915954
I mean I am REALLY not hitting protein. I'm talking 75g on a good day

>>36915938

TM is the opposite of a routine de jour: it's solid and probably the least meme-y.

I don't think your protein intake is what's holding 80 lbs off your total m8.

Just don't go to the gym without eating some carbs beforehand. And caffeine will be your friend.

But seriously, 10 lbs will be no problem. Honestly doubt it will hold you back much at all.

>>36915952

Don't tempt me with a good time.

I plan on becoming a SHW. is the plan generally recognized as bulking and cutting no more than 5%bf each way at a low bodyfat and take 6 or 7 years to get to 300lbs, or should I just skip ahead to the permabulk

>>36915977
Hardly. I know BCPA judges who smoke weed and I know of this one dude who smoked the night before a meet, went, got tested, and came out a-okay. Apparently they jacked up the numbers for weed so you can only get busted if you're literally high while they test you.

But that's cool, man. If you don't want to roll with the cool kids I understand. It's a big promotion and if you don't think you're ready to handle the position then that's the most professional choice you can make.

Does poutine have absolutely no humanity or morals?

>>36916005

I am old enough that if I have a coffee after 1500 I can't sleep

When I'm cutting though, I can drink a coffee right before bed on a heavy training day and fall asleep before my head hits the pillow.

>>36915998

Literally never done drugs. Never even drank to drunkenness, just had a glass of wine with dinner and stuff.
Have been wondering about using weed as a sleep aid though desu. My brain is constantly going at a million miles an hour, including while I'm exhausted and trying to pass out. Something natural that would slow it down a bit sounds appealing.

>>36916063
Would you fuck your aunt if she wanted it?
I mean someone else would anyway so you might as well

>>36916068

Ok, so a few thoughts here:

Yes it will help you fall asleep. But using it to self medicate is always something to be concerned about. Also, know that in some rare instances, Marijuana has been shown to uncover underlying psychoses.

I had a mate who had some serious deterioration to his mental health not because of weed, but it certainly added a lot of fuel to the fire.

Consider talking to a doctor about it before you make any calls friend. Hopefully you live somewhere where they aren't totally paranoid and crazy about pot.

literally nothing wrong with a kid buying a crack you retard. Your morals are fucked up

>>36916179

Yeah I actually agree that the crack dealer isn't to blame here.

The seller has no authority over the purchaser.

>>36916202
Oh George. Good thing there's only one of him

>>36916192
And someone shouldn't be fucking somebody else's wife. Period. But who am I to talk, I'm just a degenerate that doesn't fuck other people's bitch knowingly.

>>36916202
not saying the crack dealer isn't in the wrong, m8. but the initial wrong is in the kid making a bad decision

if all the kids decided to stop buying crack, the crack dealers selling to children would go out of business

so maybe the kids should think things through before doing stupid shit and the wrongs of the world will go away.

>>36916202

I think you two need to ask yourselves what part of cheating injures the spouse. I'm not saying it doesn't, it does. But ask yourself at what point is the damage done.

I'm not even sure if I'm being trolled right now or if people are defending selling Crack-cocain to children

>>36916226
>And someone shouldn't be fucking somebody else's wife. Period.

I agree with this, as with the notion that people shouldn't be selling crack to children.

but the initial issue is still that there are spouses looking to cheat and kids wanting to buy crack, they're still in the wrong regardless of what the other person (also in the wrong imho) does. its not an "only one party is wrong" stiatuion.

Westcoast /plg/ meetup when?

I'd be cool roadtripping to Portland

fuck me. Some guy was training this girl how to deadlift. He told her she was doing a good job. Her back was the most rounded it could possibly be and the bar was like a foot away from her.

But it's ok. He asked her to spot him, to which she asked if she was the right person for the job
>don't worry, I'll make it. But in case I don't you'll only have to help by using two fingers.

Fuck yes. He untracked it and dropped it on his chest. She could barely move it, but by time I sauntered over there he had racked it just. That's what you get for giving shit advice and deadlifting inside the fucking power rack.

What exactly do people mean when they say to brace your core for a squat?

After you suck in air and your belly expands, are you supposed to just leave it distended, or should you try to suck in your gut while trying to hold your breath in?

>>36916403
>no willpower

I think it's worse than that mate. I think he's got p low self esteem and this bitch is manipulating him.

I was cringing pretty hard reading the story he told today. Pretty obvious where the power dynamic is.

Oh. And I had to squat in the shitty narrow rack with the hooks way too fucking low. Failed 170kg squat, a pr, due to dodgey looking depth. Close tho. Will get it tomorrow, especially when I get the comfy rack and the good bar that doesn't bend and flick everywhere after 140kgs.

>>36916653
>step 1, decide to try sumo
>step 2, go to youtube and watch Haack, Tuchscherer and bodorio videos for an hour to regain your senses

>>36916638
Sorta. Cuckols laid it out pretty well for power lifters.

I went from a shoddy 150 to a clean and fast 165 in two weeks. First squat of week 3 and I almost hit 170, depth was suspect so I'm not counting it.

Mostly I believe it's because I'm just getting good at near maximal attempts. But there's gotta be a strength increase too as my back off sets are increasing nicely too.

>>36916658
That was my initial strategy and I kept falling over backwards and people laughed at me :(

If your technique is already good enough and you can stand up to the volume, it'll probably work.

Tbh I don't understand why smolov is hated here

If you are any good at keeping form with high percentages, you will see some increase.

>>36916702
Right. I'm sure they exhaustive testing on bm, enough to make the claims that it doesn't work and is stupid.

Also, it works for squats. Which is what the original discussion was about

>>36916677
Raised bench from 245->295 first cycle
However, beginning stages of rotator cuff tendonitis. Gotten better since doing band pull aparts and benching less. Face pulls aren't enough (anecdotal) to keep shoulders healthy whilst doing smolov

Can someone tell me why Alan Thrall's squat form is considered bad? I've seen several people say it is but it looks great to me

>>36916739
>Can someone tell me why Alan Thrall's squat form is considered bad?

His low bar form is fine.

>>36916732
Did you warm up and stretch afterwards?
If so, I'll probably avoid the program

>>36916744

Is there something wrong with his highbar form?

https://youtu.be/bs_Ej32IYgo?t=482

This seems pretty good

Rotator cuff warm ups prior, face pulls/band pull aparts after, didn't stretch and I think that could possibly be a reason why. Its just inflamed from volume benching; like I said, the soreness has been going away since I stopped benching 4x/week and doing more band pull aparts/rear delt work.

It's a great program and I will run future cycles of it, but you HAVE to do prehab or you fuck up your shit. Its a different type of program, so do your own research and decide if it'll work for you. 50 lbs in 4 weeks is pretty good to me

>>36916702
I've been saying this ever since it rekt me and gave me nogains

We have to respect the differences in speed, eccentric loading and force velocity curve of the two similar but distinct sports

>>36917175
She was blamed for the Budacaust

Aaron's gf was fucked by chadorio ofc

>>36917335
Whilst the differences are huge, even the oly guys were squatting daily. That's not a fast lift.

>>36917379
They squat differently.

And lighter, relatively. Yes they may exceed powerlifting records but that is, for them, light.

>>36917379

Compared to powerlifting style squats, its a much faster (or at least less grindy) sort of lift. Like comparing a clean pull to a deadlift.

>>36917502
theres no PL style squat tho. YOu can highbar or even front squat you fucking retard

>>36916417
air in, hold the air in your diaphram unti you complete the rep, then repeat

>>36917680

You could in theory do that.

But since the main point of high frequency/high intensity training is a shit-ton of practice with the comp movements, its probably not going to work very well.

>>36917825
Not him but I'm currently on week 5 of the Bulgarian meme. I just high bar squat for now and weights are going up pretty good desu. My high bar is at the same level as my low bar was when I started. I think that as long as you're not grinding everyday and doing variations, pause and front squats, you'll be fine.

Hey /plg/, will adding two light hypertrophy days (eg curls, tri extensions, abs) on Tuesday and Saturday affect progress on Texas Method?

Dude, watch some oly guys squat. A lot of them could switch to powerlifting and dominate, in the squats at least. They're fucking strong.
>>36917502
You're not meant to do a 100% super Grundy lift when doing bm, whether for weightlifting or modified for powerlifting.

And a squat is a squat. Both high and low bar are slow movements and the different styles both tax the body and its ability to recover similarly.

Both you and the above poster don't seem to have much of an idea how bm actually works.

>>36917825
It doesn't take very long to transition from high bar to low bar, and the carry over in strength is very high.

>>36917825
I high bar twice a week and low bar only once, otherwise my elbows and shoulders are fucked desu

I can do the first requirement fairly well, but the second one is way outta my reach. When keeping proper spinal extension I can't even reach 90degrees because my hamstrings won't let me (I guess that's why?). What can I do to improve flexibility? What are some god-tier stretches?

>>36918807
>proper overhead position

thats not a proper form, if there was any weight on that she would be falling backwards

and she arches her back way more than you should on the other 2

anyone have the video of Weirzbicki's equipped deadlift from a couple of months ago. I remember he pulled like 400kg or something but couldn't find the video.

I got 8 reps paused on w1d5, then did a 9th TnG.
Did you put your bench max higher than your actual or something? 4 at 80% is abysmal.

>>36918912
that looked so fucking easy jesus christ.

Also i saw that strong wood guys videos yesterday, i really don't understand how he is so strong he legit doesn't look like he has that much muscle and his form in most places is pretty shit. I get that he is a roider but he could probably pull close to norris and Wierzbicki.

>>36918928

Its not like Wierzbicki looks particularly jacked in clothing either.

Dude's reasonably big, reasonably well built for deadlifting and can put up his good-day pulls for instagram rather than having to be on point for one specific day in competition.

>>36918928

>>36918912
>>36918912
my fucking god that strongwood guy has to be a bigger freak than norris
he's clearly got no idea what the fuck he's doing but look at the numbers he's putting up
he's using a fucking tapered belt for fucks sake
absolutely sickening talent and strength

>>36919046

Some smaller (or at least shorter-torso'd) guys use a tapered belt for deadlifting because a full-width one is too wide and tends to interfere with the movement.

This can also be solved by having someone else put the belt on you so the buckle is behind you but that's kind of inconvenient if you don't have a fulltime training partner.

>>36919061
nevermind it's not tapered it's just a rogue belt

>>36918575
I've watched them.

Powerlift is not a professional sport. It is something people do alongside their day jobs. Ray Williams is a football coach. Blaine Sumner does something. Mike tuchscherer is a stay at home dad and before that was in the army (?)

Weightlifting, outside the anglosphere is a pro sport with a history of professional coaching and nationwide talent scouting and development. They are a better class of athlete.

That is the principle reason they could dominate powerlifting. Nothing to do with how they squat or whether their sport is better.

>>36919148

>you're not meant to do a 100% super Grundy lift when doing bm, whether for weightlifting or modified for powerlifting.

In bulgarian method you hit the most weight possible. That means grinding the fuck out of it and doing that multiple times a DAY. You really have no clue what bulgarian method is.

I'm kind of new to deadlifting, wouldn't this be considered bad form? Or is it just within the realm of being alright?

>>36919193
that dude has always struggled with his deadlift form
it's better than it used to be but yea he needs to fix it more because he can clearly lift a lot more than that but rounding his back like that is stopping him from locking out heavier weights

>>36919148
You've missed the point. All I'm saying are that those guys are legitimately strong and aren't lifting relatively light weights.

Them making a career out of their hobby means nothing really. There's only so much benefit you can gain, in powerlifting at least, from more time spent training.

>>36919202
Okay, thanks.

>>36919193
he squats to depth more than he deadlifts...
that is all

>>36919189
What are you basing that on?

With bm proper, for oly lifts, you go up until you miss. You then evaluate why you missed. Technique failure? Try again. Strength failure, do back offs. No real way to grind things out when weightlifting.

As for squats things are a little different. All information I can find says, like I originally did, that they weren't an all out, maximal effort.

Have you any experience actually training bm? Or worked closely with someone who has?

>>36916607
Dude are you me? I went from 140 - 160 too

My roommate bought this and ate some once and never opened it again, it's been 5 months

>>36919237

The original Bulgarian method - as in that used by the team and preached by Ivan, not the more modern approach used by a lot of lifters - had no truck with this daily max or technical max stuff. You went up until you missed on squats and on the comp lifts. Sometimes until you missed five or six times on the same weight.

I bought some knee sleeves after measuring to make sure I get a tight fit, but they weren't even that tight. I should have accounted for my big calves fml

Anon's six-week lads, check her out. Bench programming is much higher volume, deadlift programming is unarguably better, squat programming is basically left intact.

Interviews with Max Aita who trained under Abidjiev

School of champions, a movie about the bulgarian WLing team

Abidjievs training methods when he coached Hysen Pulaku

BM was brute force. It was spending 8 hours a day WLing and maxing out until you couldnt do anymore but still trying it. Ivan would have lifters take 30-40 attempts at weights sometimes.

>>36919591
Yeah, we know. We're talking about high freq daily maxing, not literally training weightlifting day in, day out under Ivan Abadjiev.

>>36919342
I've seen nothing that states that's how it exactly went. But I could of missed it.

Either way it doesn't really matter. All that matters is how people run it for power lifting.

It works quite well for quite a few people if they run it with a little intelligence.

The start of this discussion came from some numpty saying that Olympic squats were somehow radically different to how we squat, and that's why bm works for them. Which isn't the case.

>>36916220
late reply but it seems ur not understanding the situation properly.

there's not one "drug transaction" that needs to have blamed assigned.

the purchase of crack from a dealer has two guilty parties, not one. the one purchasing is responsible for their actions, and the consequences of those actions, but the dealer is ALSO responsible for their own actions. Similar to knowingly selling someone a defective product, knowingly selling someone a dangerous substance carries with it a willingness to exploit people's - almost 100% of the time uneducated - desire or that substance, for profit.

Sleeping with a married person is a similar situation, in that there are two sources of guilt, not just one. If you sleep with someone else's spouse, you are taking advantage of that specific spouse's weakness, as well as the cuck's vulnerability. You are exploiting weak people for sexual pleasure, and trying to rationalize it. It doesn't make you cool, it makes you a desperate whore, even if the cheating spouse's individual sin is greater than yours.

>>36919666
You're wasting your time. He will always find a way to rationalize it into him being in the right.

>>36916230
This is also a shallow viewpoint.

especially

>if all the kids decided to stop buying crack, the crack dealers selling to children would go out of business

Why don't the kids decide to stop buying crack? Wouldn't the dealers try to market their goods, or trick people into buying crack?

Decisions are not made in a vacuum.

>For people reading this late, I turned off comments as the ignorance an illiteracy is just too much. I read the book, I know what it says. I know what the Bulgarians did. Greg does not and his book has nothing to do with the system no matter how much it’s modified or adapted. It’s not Bulgarian just cuz it’s high-frequency. When everyone gets hurt (as they always do trying this) because they jump into it without years of leadup, you can all come tell me I was right. Because I am.

>I am not talking about daily training (which is fine if you cycle intensity or keep it submaxima) and you missed the point.
I am talking about the idea of training MAXIMALLY daily. Which is what the Bulgarians do. Key concept is MAXIMAL. NOT daily. Why I devoted an entire section to the Daily Max and what it represents for OL vs. PL. All of the math and F-V curve and crap.
I missed no point and if you read the book that I am talking about, you will see that it is advocating Bulgarian training in terms of using a daily max. MAXIMUM is the issue here. NOT daily.

I went to a crossfit box and it was fun.
Was squatting and benching in peace, had 4 barbells and racks to myself, was able to dump the bar back when squatting, crash the weights, etc, AND ON TOP OF THAT, had a great show of a crossfit "coach" yelling at a group of 2 14 year old kids and 2 DYEL arabs calling them all sorts of names and having them do the most retarded shit.

Bench and squat pr

Hey guys,

I notice Haack is wearing his belt more around his midesection and less around his "belly," or where his belly would be if he had fat....

Is this where most of you guys wear your belt?

I ask because I always wear my belt around my belly when I squat and I think that might be why it pitches me over when I get in the hole.

For deadlift, wearing it around my belly works fine.

Thanks for any help friends.

ANYONE WHO SQUATS LIKE THIS READ

All shit aside benchbro, the most glaring flaw in your squat is a lack of glute, hip, and shoulder flexibility, which leads to improper bracing and a weak core

look at your hips when your squat begins. They start out neutral, and break into an anterior tilt at the top (reverse buttwink) and end up overcompensating for your inflexibility at the bottom (regular buttwink)

To fix this:

Stretch and roll shoulders and chest. For stretching shoulders, get a pvc pipe, put your hands on it in a snatch grip, and rotate the pipe over and behind your head. This exercise is USELESS unless you keep your scapula FULLY retracted, your core braced, and your spine neutral. Many people flex their spine, shoulders, and toes, and end up stretching nothing (that transfers to squat form).

Glutes should be rolled and stretched, hips can get away with just stretching.

Make sure you do your mobility warm ups, and then when you actually squat, ensure that your bar is properly positioned on your traps and that YOUR ELBOWS ARE POINTED DOWN. chest/shoulder tightness leads to hunchback form at the top of the squat, which compromises core stability.

Make sure your ENTIRE core is straight (like jon hax), and that your ass is as flexed as possible. THEN begin the squat by rotating your feet out and HINGING (NOT BREAKING) at the hips and knees simultaneously

you WILL have forward lean because of the nature of lowbar, but your lumbar should NOT be compromised at the very start of the squat. this leads to buttwink and deadlift issues

his squat is not ugly. it is almost ideal as far as form goes, and your squat shouldn't look very different. if it does, then your technique is probably missing something

I don't know how fat you are, but your "belly" is definitely too low to wear your belt if you mean "belly" as lower abdominals, near the pelvis.

breathing into your stomach is a meme. It's not meant to be literal, it's a cue to use your diaphragm for a deep breath. you'll notice when you breathe "into your belly", the muscle that does the work is actually right under your ribs. you want to wear your belt as HIGH as your ribs will allow, to let the diaphragm brace more directly against the belt
