That's not a deadlift.

>>37761607
What's your opinion on GZCL's J&T as an offseason program?
I need a good amount of hypertrophy work and plan on running J&T starting this September.

"The IPF has been less than ballsy about such things. Like the first time the guy did a sumo deadlift, they should have had a meeting. THAT DAY. " - Mark Rippetoe

>>37761803
>GZCL's J&T as an offseason program

Despite CL being "not quite natty", I think his programming is solid for guys that want more hypertrophy in their programming.

He gives a lot of videos and general support on modifying the programming, which is nice.

My brother (17 years old) ran it and saw tremendous gains in muscle mass, and dropped some bodyfat. His lifts went up too, but at his numbers (330/210/415) almost anything he does will make the big 3 move.

What body proportions are better suited for sumo style? I'm struggling with deadlifts now and might try switching over

>>37761826
Yes because standing with your shins in direct contact with s one inch bar raised several inches off the ground and placing your hands outside of your shins to grab it is the true test of strength and is far more applicable to everyday tasks compared to straddling the same bar.

>>37761832
Thanks,I'm not strong either (150/85/150 64bw) so I'm sure I'll make good gains.
He is also releasing J&T 2.0 next week.
>He gives a lot of videos and general support on modifying the programming, which is nice.
This means so fucking much to me.I'll probably try standard GZCL programming after J&T because I can try tailor it to my needs without being completely lost.

>>37761900
>He is also releasing J&T 2.0 next week.
I'm excited to see what he releases. Even though I don't run his programming, I like his passion for what he puts out.

>I'll probably try standard GZCL programming after J&T because I can try tailor it to my needs without being completely lost.
Go get it, holmes. There are plenty of success stories/training logs from guys that ran GZCL that came out of it thicker, stronger, and excited to modify their programming.

God speed.

Just got back after a 4 hour walk
Feels ok

I stooped by an old fashioned sweet shop which had American candies.
I bought some Mike and Ikes

Is this popular in America? I've never wanted to throw up from sweets until now,

Isley they sell guns at Walmart

>>37762018

It's like Walmart for rednecks. The one I saw was in rural Tennessee. I think there's a few in Indiana. Guns aren't scary though.

Sorry about the vid quality (not mine).

>>37763211
Some people use grip strength as an indicator of CNS fatigue.

If you test morning to morning your grip strength will vary simply based on your overall fatigue levels.

Pretty nifty.

>>37763254
>indicator of CNS fatigue.
Morning heart rate is good too, if you don't want to grab a barbell rolling out of bed.

If your resting heart rate jumps 10 bpm, your body is still in "recovery mode" and under stress.

I bought a new shotgun a couple months ago. They almost didn't sell it to me because I haven't updated my driver's license with my new address. So I bought a FISHING LICENSE, which functioned as a valid State ID, and bought the gun on the spot. I love this country :)

>>37763774
The money goes on the venue, food for the spotters/officials (at a big meet) and the livestream typically. If they started paying spotters, they can't pay them just a little. It becomes real work. Minimum wage, health and safety etc.

>>37763769

>>37763787
It doesn't taste like chicken at all imo

>>37763796
>If they started paying spotters, they can't pay them just a little. It becomes real work.

Real meets need real workers. I've helped organize large city-based marathons, and you have to charge participants enough to pay for all the crew. It's part of sports event organization.

>>37763804

Are you at work?

>>37763804
It does! Gamey chicken. Maybe my furry chicken was too dry.

>>37763827
Definitely gamey.

>>37763819
No

>>37763810
It'll happen eventually, for sure.

But a city marathon can have 10,000+ participants and fewer officials for only a day and set up.

>>37763804
Andrew Tang sounds pretty based. Seems stressful to spot for the fast SHWs like Jezza

>>37763847
>fewer officials for only a day and set up.
I agree that the IPF will get there eventually with the growth of the sport... but they could be there NOW.

Big marathons require a ridiculous amount of staff. Director, officials, course marshals, packet pick-up, aid stations, truck drivers, clean-up crew, etc etc etc.

A lot of the time, they'll outsource some of the work to local running stores as a symbiotic opportunity for labor for branding.

Somebody needs to step up as a better event organizer :)

In large marathons, ex olympians are typically making their buck through organizing the events, and doing PR. Frank Shorter, Alan Culpepper, etc work for Competitor Group, which does the big Rock & Roll Marathons.

Can any of you guys give me tips on squat form? I do sort of a mix between highbar and lowbar.

how do you feel about people not being allowed to conceal carry anymore? Do you think criminals or mass shooters will follow this law? The bullet button and 10 round mag are rules that you actually have to do something to get around but it isn't really hard for a criminal to conceal carry

She would not be able to help you if you really failed a rep ;)

>>37764871
>failing reps
You just push harder then..

>>37764871
That's why I got her to spot on a weight I knew I wouldn't fail miserably on and stopped a rep short.
In general I find women make better spotters unless you're using like 90%+
I've only ever had like one girl grab the bar before it was necessary whereas I've had 10+ guys do that in the past year.

Not feeling motivated at all today. Just completely fucking drained. Looks like I'm still going to get through all the sets though.

Also, no internet. Fuck.

>>37764895
You just tell them you'll say a safeword when you need help, but otherwise

BACK OFF?????

Is it a crime wanting to love? If so, how many gains does it takes?

>>37764918
I always say not to grab the bar unless I give a signal either through a head shake or a verbal "no" or "take it".
It rarely works. There are like 5 dudes who I can count on to give a good spot, so I either ask them or if they aren't around I find a girl who looks somewhat like she lifts.

>>37764862

its definitely not a major city. major cities are like LA, NYC, chicago, boston, etc.
even atlantic city which is much bigger than galloway and more urban isn't a major city.
i mean if you meant "its not that rare to see them in rural farmland" then i guess i'd have to agree or at least not argue but suburbs are diff imo.
>>37764725
honestly i think there needs to be a major change in how the US deals with guns. clearly something is not working and i think trying out different things is a good option. i doubt restricting conceal carry will really matter, it may slightly lower the number of shootings due to people "snapping" but i doubt those are THAT high. obviously criminals will just ignore it so it probably was more to just appease people and make it look like they're doing something.

Most teaching organizations (my state doesn't have a union) are left leaning. Generally it's because we get our funding through the government... so more government should mean more funding... but it's a clusterfuck of a problem.

I am of "common sense" leanings. I'd rather be in the middle as it all burns down than perpetuate the status quo just because.

We're "supposed" to vote for Hillary... fukken el oh el.

Don't get me wrong, we NEED public ed to serve everyone a free (tax paid) education to all students regardless of socioeconomic status or disability... but money is grossly misappropriated in public ed, and my pocket sees none of it. So fuck em.

>>37765152

oh dear god, I've got stories.

My high school was a public school, but it was entirely funded locally (no state or federal dollars) through gas pipeline money and taxes.

My state gubment shut it down on the premise that small schools were costing them money (not false, but my school certainly wasn't lol)

Seconded. If he were to just completely dump the bar in a split second, no single spotter (or multiple spotters) would be able to save him from the initial drop.

Luckily that is rare, especially for raw, experienced powerlifters.
