it's not cringy if he's strong though

I've been doing shrugs with 170kg for 3x10 on wednesday and on the second set at the 7th repetition my lower back started hurting, a stinging pain, but I finished the set and the workout (dips and lateral raises) but didn't do any more shrugs afterwards.
Well next morning I spent three minutes trying to get out of bed and every step hurt.
I went to work and all because I read that besides heat, walking around while not lifting anything will help.
Today is saturday and it basically still stings the same way it did on thursday.

Is this a thing that will heal with time? What is it called?

I think I didn't warm up my back/lower back enough on wednesday

when is trappy going to come back to me?

>>38108635
Why is that guy using straps? Doesn't he know if he can't lift it without straps he shouldn't be lifting it at all?

How the hell do I stay tight and stop the bar slipping?

>>38108901

just had a 3some last night lads, i think im gonna skip my saturday workout today - im kinda sore all over

>>38109105
Kek the perils of the bum train.

You'll need your squat plug

>>38108973
It's a mixture of widening your grip slightly and pulling your shoulders back and down and pulling the bar into your back like you're trying to bend it over your shoulders.

B-but, when I do the Zyzz pose my small arms look even smaller (at least the one that's extended does).

I think it's because most tobacco is shit in the States. I've had German and English rolling tobacco, the stuff is fantastic. The only thing that compares is organic American Spirits - or any home-grown leaf you can find out East.

>>38110283
I like triples for time (got down around 15 minutes at one point IIRC), or sets of 5 on the minute.

So a friend of mine is hoping to get back into training this Autumn. He thinks his schedule will be Wed-Sat-Sun, and some weeks (8 weeks in total) might even just be Sat-Sun. Can only lift about 1-1.5h each time as well.

How would you schedule lifting on such a schedule? I was thinking of full body Wed and U/L on Sat/Sun, but what when he can only go Sat/Sun?

>>38110193
Think I'll make it an e-mail and get it shipped tonight some time. E-mail to get a bit more transparency.

>>38110305

Lol, thought so, but just asking. I've jumped in meets for fun without skipping training days before just for platform practice and fun.

Hope it goes well, can't wait for pics and video :)

If he commits, I'm sure he could still drive progress, if he's not advanced yet.

Even bodyweight work could supplement on days between to limit detraining.

Going heavy feels shit too

They are so good and they respond to well but I can't stand doing them

George, you know these things called eggs exist. Maybe you could make two egg sandwiches with two eggs instead of eating Nutella toast. You can liven it up with some bacon, ham or sausage too.

>>38110746
Eggs and red meat give me cancer so I chose to have Ben and jerrys and cadburys chocolate for breakfast instead of that snit

>>38110622
I hate barbell rows mostly with overhand grip. I much prefer dumbbell rows.
A lot of people put their leg back or close to them but I like to put my leg out to the side. I feel a lot more stable and comfortable that way.

can this even happen from deadlifts? never had any issues with deads. what do?

>>38110912
Describe the pain, I've tore a muscle before and it is a very unique fleeing.
Very sharp, pin pointed pain.

Ice it, rest it, film your deadlift and see where you're going wrong.

I am actually still on rehab from instability caused shoulder injury (impingement?). my supraspinatus has tears in it

it is a sharp and precise pain triggered by specific movements but it does not feel like the supraspinatus. maybe the long head? I don't know...

but this kinda sucks... deadlift was always the one lift I am good at and never had any issues. now out of nowhere during regular training this shit

>>38110997
I'm NotADoctor but it sounds like a tear.
It's not the end of the road lad, don't worry. It took a month for my tear to get okay, and many months for it to heal completely.

Mine was a major tear, down my trapezius, could squat or deadlift or row. But I got through it well and quickly.

I don't honestly know how to help you though, sorry.

I'm pretty sure i have no reason to be accumulating so much fatigue desu, it's just not bleeding off like it should be.
Sleep quality is down, appetite suppressed, sex drive and overall mood are fine though. I'm just always tired.

Might have to take a break from weed and see what happens

>>38110768

Throw the bacon on a cast iron skillet, put it in the oven at 400 degrees F, ~200 degrees C until the smell of bacon is everywhere, about 20 minutes, during which you can do the rest of your morning routine. You can cook the eggs by putting them in a pan on the lowest setting, putting some butter in it, cracking he eggs and covering the pan. Walk away for 4 minutes and they're cooked. Clean up takes less than 5 minutes.

There's no excuse.

I already visited a doctor and made an MRI (that's how I know that I have tears in my left supraspinatus). he told me to let it heal naturally because the only effective treatment would be operation

and that kinda discourages me from going to a doctor again "for nothing"

>>38111094
I can't even OHP and just started benching again this week after several months. even with very close grip bench I have to be careful. fucking sucks...

I've added 50kg to my squat in 4 days click here to find out why?

>>38111053
what?

>>38111084
Probably every other session or even most deadlift sessions but not for every work set.

But I only use straps to save the skin on my fingers. So I'll use them for perhaps the middle three sets of a 5x3 @ 80 and more often in the last couple of weeks before competing.

>better than bryce
Nah he wasnt

Also bodorio now out wilks's bryce. Phil had a good mindset for powerlifting and somewhat less talented. But desu that mindset is part of talent too.

>>38111305
Define good mindset. Do you mean the friendship thing?

>>38111305

Can confirm mentality is a massive part of Powerlifting, and not just in the sense of needing confidence to complete a lift or do the work, but even in the more immediate case of attempt selection. I've only got two meets under my belt, and I have seen countless lifters fuck themselves by letting their ego choose their opener, or erring way too close to safety.

>>38111315
Patience more

>>38111305
George you're straight up dumb if you think you can determine talent based on what you have seen between Phil and Bruce

>>38111327
What? You mean I can't tell which is more talented?

I couldn't agree more.

I'm with isley also in that "talent" is what makes people good, but I categorize the mental capability under talent. I'm not sold just yet on putting "mindset" under talent, but I'm not opposed to it entirely. I just haven'tnthoguht about it enough / reflected on it yet.

I've always defined "Talent" as something untrainable, and I guess it is correct to assume that psychology can be 'trained' so to speak; so maybe putting mentality under the talent umbrella is incorrect so-to-speak. For the most part however, lifters at the level most of us compete at (not you Fil) aren't employing sports psychologists, even though Norse, JoeBro, and myself among many others would probably reaaaally benefit from it.

Aren't you still predisposed to certain mentality traits?

>>38111346
I'm saying your metric for talent is transitive and has nothing to do with long term success

>>38111084
Do you ever use straps for training / gym PRs?

>>38111410

I'm not well versed in sports psych, but I imagine it cant turn a three into a ten, but it probably helps a ten operate at a ten at all times.

>>38111413
>Aren't you still predisposed to certain mentality traits?

Yes, I would hope Sports Psych helps you work with those traits.

>>38111410
this is a very interesting quesiton that I don't know the answer to.

If i had to guess, I would think that there's some inherent level of predisposition towards certain things (like, maybe 10-30%?), and then after that the predominant factor is how you were "refined" while growing up.

I think there's room for some people to budge once they're mature adults, but its proportionally much smaller (mayb 10%?)

tbqh i'm just pulling shit out of my ass that intuitively makes sense.

>>38111387
kek, I'd probably benefit from just a regular psychiatrist

>>38111413
ikr. i said the same thing lol

>>38111430
What does transitive mean?

>>38111458
Well neither am I but once you've met enough powerlifters you'll see a whole range of people from those that suck absolute balls but will not give up to those who could be world class but don't see it as a worthwhile endeavour. To everything I'm between.

Obviously those who have the talent and mentality to bring it to bear are utterly unbeatable. But the worst kind is when you meet those people and will then insist that they're "not that talented" and it's just how much effort they put in.

>"I hate it when people call me talented"

I get this - 'talent' in the current vernacular implies something given and not earned; while his mental fortitude may be seen as a talent, I wouldn't consider his training to be something given. Really it comes down to the fact that it's hard to hear people dismiss your training and your work simply because they feel you were born with an advantage.

And that's considering that I think Hancott is a little fucking shit who needs to get his head on straight.

>>38111597

the thing is the shit i was doing before this was much harder (rts memes) and i don't really feel fatigued at all

i squatted a 5kg pr 2 days ago and today i had to max out on bench and dl and failed miserably.

maybe its just a bad day. r-r-right?

>>38112065
>maybe its just a bad day. r-r-right?
yeah, it happens. Some days I feel knackered and miss reps even though I've hardly done much, other days I'll smash it out even after I've done a shit ton of cardio the day before or something

>>38112065
>bad day
100% totally. Some days it's just not there

>>38111094

Honestly I think it's a lot more related to the fact that she competed in bench only for a long fucking time.

What to do when you have holiday shit soon and you can't start a new cycle of any program?

I don't even feel like going to the gym if i don't have clear goals.

Back to where I was before I bulged my disc over a year ago. If I can do it you can do it. We're all gonna make it.
