This is the real thread

>>37895338
So who was grill in last thread with the Nice teddies?

so im texting a girl and the conversation is dying
what should i text her about

>>37895380
Screenshot and will recommend next steps

>>37895382
its in german
she asked about my nationality (it isnt german)
then i asked playfully what hers is when its obvious that its german
then she asked how old i am
told her then asked her
and now we are here

My hips shoot up at the start of my sumo.

I follow this set up:

Less touching bar at about rings

Open your taint and push your knees out until you can hold the bar

Lift it up and towards you

Anything I should change on this?

>>37895375
Some Japanese snabchat grill who does that like once /twice a week

>>37895380
Either ask her out or stop texting her.

Are you going to fuck her, or are you going to be her shopping buddy?

Don't be an emotional punching bag for girls like all these betas are for Esmeralda.

>>37895400
>responding to her questions by only asking her the same questions instead of expanding on your answers to spark up other topics of conversation

>>37895419
we already have a date for Saturday

>>37895423
Then shut the fuck up.

Otherwise you're going to show up at the date and not have anything to talk about retard.

I was having this problem pretty badly (see webm). I think what helped the most was widening my stance and really focusing on spreading the floor apart/keeping tension in my legs.

This is what it looks like after I changed that stuff around a bit.

>>37895444
That's because she senses that you might be autistic. She's feeling out the situation to see if she needs to cancel the date on you or not.

>>37895400
Post it.

How do you have a date already when you are in such a early state of conversation?
Did you meet her in person, arranged a date and got her number or what?

>>37895467
i asked her for a date 4 messages in, she said yes
the perks of having facial aesthetics i guess

>>37895467
also, i messaged a random girl on facebook when i was drunk
that was her and now we have this

>>37895483
"Okay, dann sehen wir uns am X bei Y".

>>37895423
Where are you going? Could be good to talk about plans etc. Get her thinking about it.

Just make her laugh, send her funny shit throughout the day, ask her what she's up to. Listen to her shit. Drop in compliments that are physical when appropriate. When it gets closer to Saturday you want her to be getting excited.

>>37895537
The guy I was trying to help ran out of conversation after fucking hello.

It's clear that he needs to conserve his conversational topics a little bit.

Also a million more dates have been ruined by saying too much bullshit then by saying not enough.

SHE KEEPS ASKING QUESTIONS AFTER I END THE CONVERSATION
SHE WANTS THE D ALERT

>>37895558
>Bullshit

That's the problem, no need to get to heavy or really get to know her at this point. Just keep things happy and maybe even sow the seeds of conversation that they could have on the date.

>>37895578
Keep it going then. Just keep it light and don't worry so much. She's obviously keen

>>37895578
Post it already fucker

/plg/ makes me want to just switch to bodybuilding because of the kind of people here

>>37895619
Bench squats and

>OHP

why was i born with autism

>>37895635
Ask if she has anyone to hold it.

>>37895638
Bench and OHP on the same day? I thought you were doing SS.

>>37895640
The best thing about social autism is you can overcome it with enough practice. You just have to be okay with feeling awkward as fuck in the process.

>>37895635
I think you know what to do. You're just too scared to do it.

>>37895619
5/3/1 squat, going for 1+ with 315, pause deads, ab wheel, leg curl

>>37895645
Oh yeah shit I'm doing RDLs.

Fuck OHP.

>And cleans

>>37895558
the way to get better at socialising is not to avoid conversation as much as possible

if theres no conversation beforehand why would she expect conversation on the date and want to show up?

>>37895620
Fuck you Maximilian

>>37895657
Nice. What's your squat 1RM? Have you ever actually done 3 pl8? Think you can get 2-3?

>>37895667
Nothing is wrong with OHP. I haven't done it in 2 months, but I actually miss it.

>>37895688
It's hard. But yeah I'll do it on Thursday.

lowbar squats today though so that's cool.

Anyone know why I can pull 100 lbs more sumo even though I'm built more for a conventional pull cuz I have pretty long arms and long legs

>>37895902

I don't really know what your specific weaknesses are, haven't seen you lift.

But I'd probably say goodmornings and pull more conventional.

After a couple of months, see where your conventional is at. If your sumo is still stronger, and you plan on competing, might as well switch over to sumo.

>>37895936

Nope, not even sick.
Feeling alright besides the whole freezing and shaking thing.
Maybe doing some light cardio will help warm my body up.

>>37895936
>Are you sick..?
He thinks he was born as the wrong gender, of course he's sick.

>>37895952
OK thanks for the help

Brought my headphones and had a big breakfast. If I don't get it today it just wasn't meant to be.

>>37895964
If you don't, don't beat yourself up. You'll smash it as soon as you stop cutting, regardless.

>>37895952
Hmm, weird.

>>37895962

But ofc don't skimp on doing some 3-5 sets of rows or weighted chinups/pullups once or twice per week.

All right. It seems like a giant meme with all the boars pressing,chains, pauses, partial movements and all that. Im close to a 420kg total and i feel like id benefit more from hammering down the basic movements.

Are you a super twink? That seems like a pretty low total for sheiko. My total is even higher and I'm probably around the lower end of anyone who should do it.

>>37896279
its a joke because youre a chad you dummy

>>37896271

Oh yeah, it still had all of those meme movements. The board pressing, the paused deadlifts, and the partial deadlifts are all nice, and I recommend doing those. The stuff with chains I'd recommend just increasing the weight by 5% and doing the movement as you normally would.

My favorite moment was when you ripped off your belt after your third deadlift attempt.

If you tried to do a back flip, Moscow seismology lab would evacuate the Arctic circle for fear of a tidal wave.

>>37896612
The feeling never goes away. You best bet is learning to control your feelings. Doubt is what causes the feeling of nausea.

Perhaps ignorance will help if you're ignorant to the difficulty of squats lol.

>>37896612
The first c6w cycle I ran I felt like this before most of the lower days. It goes away when you get comfy with your program and trying harder.

>>37896638
I just start bouncing on my heels and when I get under the rack it starts to go away. Proper manic at the gym desu

Ignorance is bliss and the smile has already been wiped off my face I'm afraid.

>>37896663
A good cue is to imagine you're on stage and people are watching. You can't let them down or you'll humiliate yourself.

Sounds absurd but I do it on hard attempts, or perhaps I imagine someone I care for is watching me, and that seems to help for calming my nerves,

I'm really proud of you, friend.

You tried the hardest when everybody else didn't try hard enough.

:)

>>37896708
A long, long time. Also Isley is a great deadlifter. Most people will never get to 280kg+ without becoming planets. What are your lifts at after 8 months?

>>37896720
i know 8 months isnt that long, but lmao 4 pl8 seems like a lifetime away

>>37896731
>>37896708

Isley's only good lift is still his deadlift. His bench is now in the mediocre range.

>>37896732
That's because you're thinking oh huge goals. Know that you can achieve it with persistence and consistency. Then just keep going. A river can carve out the grand canyon with enough time.

>>37896732
Different people are better at different things. It took me 10 months to get to lmao4pl8 deadlift, but I think I have really good deadlift proportions. I didn't actually hit a 3pl8 squat until like 14 months. And just now am breaking the 2 pl8 bench barrier at 15 months.

LONDON

>>37896826
I'm 79.5-80kg at 180-181 cm or so. Lifting for 15 months now.

Best lifts are
Squat: 138x4
Bench: 82.5x8 paused
Deadlift: 172.5x5

All in kg

>>37896819
yeah 5rm

5'7 if that makes any difference

>>37896833
what are your favorite bands?

>>37896891

>60kg at 5'7

Please be a girl, my female cousin is bigger and stronger than you at the same height.

>>37896819
I'm cutting from 82kg to 74 then bulking back go 82. Feel like that's a good plan since I gained 15kg really fast. I'm not too fat but I feel like it's better too cut down and bulk up again rather than hulk for a couple of months then get too fat to bulk no mo

>>37896885
thanks, is 420 your highest for DL?

also have you always used that stances for deads?

is there a certain technique to do with the wider leg stance?

Does the buckle need to be so big?

>>37896932
Someone at my gym has bought one.

The most annoying thing about is how short it is. Not that much leverage for a super tight belt.

does he have some kind of esoteric secret routine?

>>37896966

You need to not cut, and eat more. Only weighing ~135 pounds is not enough.

>>37896982
aight thanks

>>37896923
It's not a bad idea if you care about being really lean. Just don't expect to make much progress in the meantime.

>>37896927
Yes, 420 wasn't too bad, but I tried 440 after and failed. I think I could have done 430, but I'm not going for a 1rm again for a while.

I actually switched away from conventional only 2 months ago. I had really bad back rounding on my conventional, so I thought I'd try sumo out. Either stance is fine, just whatever you're more comfortable with.

>>37896947
Yeah, I should have done this, but it's all good. It's in the past now and I'm eventually bulking all the way to 93.

>>37896997
i think i may try sumo soon, thanks anyways and good luck with thee 430 when u try it

>>37897020
Thanks, good luck with the sumo. I'm starting my first sheiko cycle today though, so I won't be going above 400 again for 8 weeks. Gonna be doing a ton of volume in that 70-85% range and eating big.

great job lad

28 free programs are really shit

I didn't progress on literally any of them except novice bench. Int bench added 0kg.

Don't run them it's a mistake

>>37897056
The int 3x bench took my bench from 160x7 to 180x8 in 9 weeks. Were you eating?

>>37897056

Which ones were you running and how much food were you not eating?

I've been bulking since 2014 so KYS

Good success on sheiko tho.

ALSO his deadlift programs didn't work. I ran 3 day novice and 3 day int deadlift

>run every program at 3x week frequency
>run novice programs when you're at least intermediate
>wonder why you don't progress

Holy shit, I wonder who the idiot here is.

>>37897136
You for making stupid assumptions.

You start with the easiest program, FROM HIS RECCOMENDATIOM, then move up if it doesn't work.

His novice bench did work, but every other program didn't.

>>37897149

You still are the idiot for not continuing to move up. Because according to you, you should have moved up in programming again.

>>37897197
According to Greg Nuckols on his PDF
and I did move up, ram the month long cycles, tested maxes and oh wow they haven't budged.

Luckily I've found a way better program that actually works.

>>37897215

The PDF doesn't say start with the easiest programs first. It says to choose the easier of the two if you have a doubt about choosing between a hard and an easy one. If you could read you'd understand that. Also doing every lift at 3x per week frequency probably didn't help either. You need to choose somewhere to dial it back a little.

>>37897249
No
Recovery wasn't an issue. I did the reps are prescribed and my maxes didn't increase.
I only ran 2 day 3 programs that didn't clash (legs and chest)

>>37897267

Yet you just said you ran the 3 day per week deadlift. Sounds to me like you should have tried inflating your maxes to increase your training volume.

>>37897284
Okay well I shouldn't have to for it to work, or it should be stated to use increased maxes.

>>37896833
Trappy you have to get on steam asap, I need to talk to you privately. It's important and I need your help

>>37897302

>I did nothing wrong, it's somebody elses fault!
>I shouldn't have to work to get stronger!
>Everything should be handed to me!

You sound like a child.

>>37897302
dude I have had inflate and deflate maxes for all kinds of programs. Not everyone can handle the same amounts of volume at certain percentages, so of course you need to be able to adjust for this

>>37897315
Wow what a beta---

Wait, you want to speak to trappy? A man who dresses as a girl? And not a real girl?

Okay that's fine, Chad, you Alpha.

Because I, Sean, like penis.

>>37897327
Where did you get these straw man points from?
I ran the program as written. My maxes didn't increase. Really effective.

>>37897334
He should have started this in the PDF. I've never encountered this in my training, how could I possibly have known?

>>37897338
fuck off nerd

>>37897338
Trying to claim you're a legend like Sean is just wrong and pathetic
I can only imagine how beta you truly are

>>37897356

I got those "straw man" points from reading every single one of your posts and you complaining about not having exactly what you wanted handed to you in the programming you ran.

>>37897370
This is a non argument, you're just acting like a child and making up arguments.

>women still think they know what they want

Help my lower back gets tight and acts as if it's about to cramp when benching heavy

>>37897425
Do you warm up your core, glutes, and hip flexors before you bench?

>>37895435
how important is it to spread the floor during sumo? I have honestly never tried it and everything functions, to a bigger or lesser extent. What would be the "symptom" of not spreading the floor and how would it affect your lift?

>>37897356
Any programming no matter how shit or retarded it looks will "work" if you push yourself

>>37897356
people in this forum talk about inflating their maxes all the time. If you want personalized training handed to you that is perfect for you, you need to look for a coach. Otherwise, you are going to need to think a little and adjust things to fit you.

>>37897446
Do you warm up your wife's vagina with your tiny penor to prep it for the Bulls penis?

>>37897460
Tell me about it, I like pushing myself hard, but I got every rep that was programmed for me, what else could I have done?

>>37897463
Perhaps they do, but not everyone comes such a situation, they need to be told how to smoke the program work for them. I for one had never been told until now. Hell, the only time I see people talk about inflated maxes its Isley telling someone NOT to.

It's not really a fair counter argument because you're shifting the blame from nuckols mistake onto me.

>>37897460
please stop with your anti-intellectual comments

you lost me with the pro-roids crap years ago but now you're literally starting to annoy me again

>>37897463
Upvoted. Agreed 100%.

>>37897356
Unfortunately, this is a niche sport. Even so, there is lots of training logs, and general programming information available online.

The best learning experience is personal experimentation, though. Run programs, listen to your body, log your progress, and figure out what works for you.

Rarely will you run a program beyond intermediate that you don't have to modify to make it appropriate for your own progress.

OR

Hire a coach, even if it is online.

>>37897501
I'm running sheiko by the book and having no issues tho

>>37897464
What did you mean by this?

>>37897479
still. If you are taking cookie cutter programs off the internet, you need to realize they may not fit you perfectly. That doesn't mean you necessarily need to find a different program, but that you may need to tweak it.

This is not me criticizing you, this is me educating you. Now you know, and now you can try to make any program fit your needs.

Find a program with a training style you like and run with it

>>37897517
That's great! Don't change anything.

But let's play a game...

>what are you going to do when you stop progressing and/or break down?

>>37897486
Its really not. Ive sat at low weights for too long because ive always lowballed the weights i use in training
>that day looks too heavy
>theres too many reps in those sets
>this is tiring ill just do 3 sets not the 5 im supposed to

You get back what you put in, ive half assed my training for years. Gear should not have been the catalyst to put in the extra work

>>37897315

>>37897555

>>37897555

>>37897446
Not glutes and core, but hip flexors yes. They cramp sometimes so I stretch them before and between sets. I'll try warming up more.

>>37897564
>You get back what you put in, ive half assed my training for years.

This is a tough pill to swallow, but necessary for progress.

Every good lifter has that "moment" when they go to a real PL gym, or train with lifters stronger than them, when they realize that they have NOT been training as hard as they think they have :)

>>37897586
If you respawn with great genetics, better role models, or an amazing work ethic, that could be a huge help.

>>37897592
You could also think about how you're implementing leg drive.

Are you "pulling" with your hamstrings and back, or are you "pushing" with your quads and glutes?

>>37897368
I've been training hard for ages

Still not improving

>>37897602
Pushing with quads and glutes I'm pretty sure. Mainly quads.

>>37897594
Do you have any experience with spine health // building disc?

I have an issue where I can not support much load when my hips are hinged, such as in the squat or good morning. Deadlifts make that area feel stiff but aren't problematic.

I can not however low bar squat even a pl8 with hinged hips. Only if I break from the knees am I fine.

When hinged it feels like a lot of pressure is on my lower back and last time I did it something clicked, send electric socks down my legs and I was bed ridden in pain for days until I started stretching out my hips.

>>37897617
See a freaking doctor/physio man. You've been asking us about this for months. It's a bulging disc btw, not building.

>>37897617
Not at all. See a doctor.

>>37897627

I can't, I shan't and I won't see a physio

Go and read a book

>>37897658
>No sleep=shit
No sleep = no proper adaptation.

No point in lifting if you won't recover to allow for adaptation.

>>37897653
Yes, yes I can. You're asking for medical advice on a Mongolian carpet trading forum. Not only this, you've been doing it for several months. And even more so, because it's your spine, you should be especially careful and see a doctor for treatment because no one here is a doctor, much less one who specializes in the spine. Stop being stupid and go see a damn doctor.

>Now you're on level 2 and the games begun
No.

Realistically, unless Isley has infinite time and infinite recovery to dedicate to volume, then he will be fighting for every last KG he puts on his total.

Unless he tries some UNNATURAL intervention :)

Most lifters are going to suffer from significant diminishing returns around 400 wilks (natural). Such is life.

>>37897666
you have said nothing to right my course
I have been lifting for almost 7 years
I have discussed my problems in detail and all I have gotten from even the useful trips was just enjoy training in itself lol!

>>37897673
It's literally not an option in my circumstance. There's nothing i can do...

>>37896997
Think I'll still make some progress. I've progressed from 130kg - 165kg squat staying at the same bw over around 4 or 5 months

Last sesh got this:

S: 55kg 5,5,3
DL: 75kgx5 80kgx2
BP: 35kg 5x3

Today (after like 3 hours stress sleep)

S: 50kg 3, 4, 5
OHP: 25kg 5x3
DL: 60kgx5 and got 80kg off the ground.

I'm not going to disheartened though. Just need to go back to meditating before I sleep.

>>37897698
You have two options:
1. Ask here while not receiving treatment and hope you magically get better

2. Spend the time and money to get the proper treatment so you will have a very good chance of getting better.

And this >>37897705

>>37897724
Not possible so I'm no longer going to acknowledge your posts

>>37897669
I know that. My head starts whirring. Gunna be off here at 10pm every night tho.

>>37897716
Working too close to your maxes and awkward numbers.
Don't be afraid to go low to hit a consistent 3x5 because the weight is only going up from here, so low balling from the start isn't an issue.

>>37897669
You're extremely opinionated and extremely dumb and these two traits don't mix well

If you want scientific studies to tell you that most lifters start to level off at 400 wilks, then go to the library. Good luck. I'm sure you'll turn up volumes.

>>37897753
It was nice ego lifting first sesh but you're right.

>>37897753

Where you were born doesn't determine the outcome of your entire life. Do something if you want to change it. Take some initiative.

>>37897716
Damn, how did last session feel? Numbers that much lower should have been easy, but if you were ridiculously tired I guess that makes sense.

>>37897838
It's a pretty vague number but I wouldn't disagree. I think the low 400's I where shit starts getting hard for most people

>>37897843
I'd take off 10kg, you're on SS right? You'll get that 10kg back within 4 sessions and hit it for 3x5 consistently.
Don't skip accessories tho pls, made that mistake myself.

10 minutes until my 3pl8 amrap. I'm going to get 2, minimum. This shit is happening, not going to take the bar off my back until 2+.

>>37897879

I ran sheiko today with only a couple hours sleep
Deadlift day, high load.
Was very hard to compete but I was able to.

The secret is having these bad sessions in the first place, eventually you just get on with it because you know how you feel now is the best you'll ever feel anyway.

Don't fall short when you feel bad and rely on the good sessions to bring you up. Gotta make every session count.

You're capable of a lot more if you don't question what you've got to do.

What I'm trying to say is appreciate days like today and use them as a learning experience.

They will come back again, and next time you need to find the will power to get through them.

I believed you could have got every single set and rep today, I believe there is more inside you, but it's gonna take a while to learn to unleash that ability.

Took me a year

>>37896932
yeah it does if you want it to last a couple years. the extra mechanisms in the buckle means that, to scale it down to inzer size, those parts would have to be obnoxiously small

>>37898114
I feel like I could have done more with my squat, I just felt so fucking sick.

>>37898193
Like I said, with time you'll eventually just squat through nausea. Fillip does it, the dudes a mess when training lol.
I do it too, if it's written down on my program, regardless of sleep, I just get on with it and it works.
As long as you have eaten enough, you can overcome sleep.

It takes time but these days are work through-able

>>37898218
Thanks, means a lot it really does. I really like being able to talk through this shit, cheers for being so patient
