Posted last general but not many were up.
Could I please get a form check? Sorry about the shit equipment but the main thing I'd like feedback on is how my timing is, i.e. knee/hip lockout.

Reposting from last thread as almost at bump limit;

>All these trips using this as their personal blog like we fucking care about their lives.

More importantly, I recently switched over to sumo stance on deadlifts as I find it almost impossible to bring my hips down to knee level, is there some solid info on the pros/cons of adopting sumo style over conventional? It feels more balanced but I worry if I'm taking too much out of my lower back and utilising my legs too much instead.

>>38576187
>nobody has died deadlifting
Jon Pall would like a word

>>38576198
Do both

>>38576198

Deadlift twice per week, train conventional one day and sumo the other.

>>38576198

Why are you worried about getting your hips to knee level on a conventional deadlift?

>>38576198
>All these trips using this as their personal blog like we fucking care about their lives.

>All these trips
>All

Nigga like 2 or 3 trips post their daily workouts. The only time I'll ever post what I'm doing is in response to a WAWTT

>>38576198
>are you training for competition?
Measure your body proportions and after you have got gud at conventional either stay with it or switch to sumo if it better suits you bio-mechanically.
>Are you training for general strength?
Do both but do conventional more.

Sorry let me rephrase.
Nobody has ever died deadlifting because they were deadlifting.
People have died bench pressing because they failed and the weight crushed them/killed them.

"He was deadlifting in his gym, the Gym 80 in Iceland when the cardiac arrest occurred, caused, it is thought, by a traumatic aortic rupture which was related to a weakened heart, a problem that was known to exist in his family."

The same thing would of happened if he was squatting a lot or benching a lot or some other very strenuous activity on the heart.

Powerlifters, we eat big, sleep big and lift big. AFter being in competitive powerlifting for a while one will make an assessment of your own physical body.

Meaning if you are under 6 foot, you will probably have to get to 242lbs, which is a lot of weight for someone 5Ƌ".

If you are over 6 foot, you had better be 300+ to be competetive with those leverages.

>>38576244
The fact that it could kill me only makes it better
But squats can kill you, and are a lot worse for your spinal health. No world record holding squatter doesn't have a spine issue.

>>38576256
Huh, bro I have bad news for you...

Sorry anon, looks like you have to be 105 minimum.

>squat can kill you

Yet no one has died yet

>>38576248

You're overestimating by a fair bit. Even most juiced 6'+ guys aren't competing in the 308s.

>>38576269
Except they have.

>>38576275
link?

>>38576279
I wouldn't know where to find one. If been to competitions were people have wound up wheel chair bound and one person even dead when equipped squatting. Most of these occourances happened in the 80/90s when equipped was just standard powerlifting.

>>38576410

Roll of shame doesn't work with gymbro form, or with seriously heavy weight.

>>38576428
I can roll of shame 335kg

>>38576454
Shoo shoo mark!

Who else likes training early on Sundays? I'm about to have the gym all to myself.

What are the benefits of lowering the weight in a controlled manner in DL compared to just going limp and let it fall? Specifically for PL ofc

Gabe Malone has done the roll of shame with 315lbs plus no problem.

One of the best lifting YT channels, IMO.

He's strong as fuk, and works really, really hard.

https://youtu.be/J1jKkx_nq3Q

That isn't the roll video, can't find it atm, but subscribe anyways :)

> he did a whole year on 531 back in the day and got very decent stats doing it :)

>>38576213
>>38576225

I do rack pulls aswell once same day, but yeah I'll mix it up, cheers.

>>38576231
What I meant is that I find it difficult to bend my knees past a certain point

>>38576240

I'm training for strength, trying to get my 130kg diddly up to 160+ Before december

Is it normal for your lower back to feel fatigued >2 days after deadlifting? No pain but it feels tight.

Also, when training with an inflated max. Do you do your one rep max attempts/skills tests with your actual one rep max? or your inflated max?

>>38576510

This video has made me realise how pathetic my deadlift form is, I was bending my knees to the point where my waist was parallel with my knees, then keeping my back pointing upwards and my head pointed upwards, lifting with my legs without moving my back until my legs are fully extended, then straightening my back up vertically, looks like I've been putting too much pressure on my legs and not actually using my waist/lower back to do the lift, motherfucking youtubers and their over-complicated fucking tutorial vids.

>>38576551

It is normal. Eat more and get a lacrosse ball. As far as the skills test, use your real 1rm, and set a PR if you think you can. You are allowed to increase your maxes if you set a new PR, but don't increase them during the competition block.

>>38576575
>and get a lacrosse ball
Anyone know some australian alternatives?

>eat like 500-800 calories a day
>get weaker
>wonder why I'm weaker

Why do I do this to myself

>>38576507
Benefits of a controlled down movement is that you get the training effect of the down movement. For example, if you do 5*3 deadlifts on a certain weight and it feels really easy you can control the decent to get more training effect from that session without increasing the volume or the weight(kind of like adding long pauses in the bench).

If you just let the bar fall you can save energy and possibly do more reps or more sets(or save yourself for other lifts like the squat). You also don't have to lower the bar slowly at a meet(Kbooey excepted).

Top 3 lifts I enjoy doing:
>Bench press
>Front squats in flats
>no third

>>38576596
A cricket ball

>>38576633
oh yeah ofc

>>38576627
>Deficit deadlifts
>Highbar
>Bench
Only correct answer.

>>38576660

>Enjoying doing deficit deadlifts

The absolute madman.

>>38576681
I don't do them often so I always get a nice PR whenever I try them. Also for some reason I feel that I can get a much tighter back and hips when I pull from a small deficit

>>38576704

I know what you mean, my conventional feels significantly more comfy when I pull in heels as opposed to flats.

Anybody here just not lift on weekends? Thinking about changing to weekdays only

>>38576175
looks good senpai nice medieval workout i dig it

>>38576627

Standing calf raises

>>38576772

Just cube-predator. But if you're bench only, you might want to add another easy day, because it's 2x per week.

>>38577121
Cool thanks, I'll check it out. I am bench only. Pretty much all I can do is bench and front squat, but I happen to enjoy them both so it's all good.

2 days a week is actually pretty decent for my now awful schedule. So thanks again.

Has anyone ever done this? I've literally never heard of anyone ever doing it.

I mean, why would you do a bench program by a guy with the shittest bench in the ipf?

>>38577146
You're welcome. It is a little bit meme tier, but it has a lot of body building built in like a good bench program should. Garrett Blevins had a lot of good things to say about it when he was running it a couple years ago if you want to look up his YouTube videos. There should be a spreadsheet out there somewhere that Garrett made that you can download.

>>38577184
>Has anyone ever done this? I've literally never heard of anyone ever doing it.
I did it and my bench went from 90kg to 115k within a month.

According to symmetric strength my bench is worse

Tbh, it should be higher but I think an equal squat/deadlift isn't that bad. You guys just like to bully me for it

Yeah man I somewhat agree, the journey is worth more than the end game. Obviously I'd like something to show for it, but I can't making lifting my personality because as soon as that falls apart I, myself as a person will fall apart.

Any lifting is better than no lifting. I've got to stop taking it so personally when I miss a workout, or miss a PR.
Nothing wrong with having goals, nothing wrong with training hard, but appreciate the journey because it doesn't last forever.

You're just reading the chart kinda backwards, friend: Read it as "Size - diameter of knee joint to fit normally (standard) - Diameter of knee to fit for competition (tight)"

I suggest finding the size that fits your knee diameter under the "standard" sizing.

>>38578042
to be honest I'd disagree with this reasoning, spending so much time and effort doing something with nothing to show at the end of it is a horrible thought. I personally care a large amount about my rate of progress, and how much weight I'm getting on the bar. really going to the gym for years on end and not reaching anything substantial is something I really dread, if I did that I'd be looking into another sport to participate in, which I could have more aptitude and potential in.

>>38578600

Fuck you bro how long have you been lifting?

You're my height and three kilos heavier but I'm stuck at 105 for 3x5.

>gym doesn't have a pull-up

How can I train lats? Do I really have to do a quintzillion 30kg dumbbell rows....

>>38578604
You sir are incredibly autistic

Literally the ONLY program that has ever made my squat progress as intended is TM.
My squat stalled every week on SS, actually REGRESSED on 5/3/1, made 0 progress on a brosplit. TM is literally the only program that it advanced at the pace of the program, and it's also the only program my squats have ever felt really good on.

My form looks and for the most part feels just fine. Aside from eating at maintenance instead of the +50000kcal bulk that Marky Rips and Jim Memedler recommend, IADTP.

Why is it like this? My deadlift advances just fine, my bench is a bit slow but no slower than the average, OHP progresses pretty good. It's only my squat that has this problem.

>>38578632
Youre autistic by definition

>>38578624
Buy a loadable dumbbell handle (I am about to) OR do cable rows which are p good OR stop hurting yourself you mong OR do seal rows

>>38578615
Fucking long, I havn't lifted seriously for a while though. Restarted back at low weights so many times I wanna kill myself.

Anyway, I've gotten to 130-140kg 1RM a couple of times by simply doing 3-5 sets of 5 reps, adding 2.5kg whenever I feel like it (1-2 times a week, squatting three times a week).

>>38578660
Gym has loadable Dumbbell handles, hopefully I get 60kg worth of fives on there.

>>38578637
>eating at maintenance
>whaaah whaaah why is my squat so shit

You dont need to go on some dreamer bulk just eat a little above maintenance

>>38578615
I'm not the original poster, but was stuck there a bit myself, 2 weeks ago even, that was the point I started doing 3x3 instead. try that yourself, see if progress returns. haven't stalled since myself, doing 122.5kg tomorrow.

Thread was going so great.

Then the degenerate had to start posting.

I'm out.

This is correct? Your spine should not be a join in a deadlift, ideally. How did watching that video convince you otherwise?

Know any good bench specialisation programs? I'm not strong enough for sheiko but I know it's good,

Buda suggested me a good one already, was wondering if you've got any you know of?
I am a bench only lifter due to degenerative disc disease.

I want to get a squat form check, what's a good angle for recording it?

>>38578840

>>38579033
Sketchy 315 to solid 335 over the course of the 7 week program the first time. 2nd time should have taken me to about 350-360 but I fucked up my water cut and got cucked by my inability to adapt to the equipment.

kind of iffy about the bench. I benched last sunday and my shoulder was feeling very shit, fast forward to now I've been stretching it, doing hundreds of band pull aparts, dousing it in NSAIDs and alcohol and taking time off bench and it feels great atm.

but I also don't want to re-agro it :(

You are aware the last thread was literally full of trips going, "oh I had a really bad day but I don't want to talk about it"

Who the fuck cares, you shouldn't even be using a trip unless you are a top level lifter who people can specifically ask for advice and stuff, or somebody with a specific skill/qualification that benefits the discussion, not just so you can use /plg/ as your personal social club.

>>38579349

>>38579378

Half of them lift less than me, the rest spend more time talking about their personal lives than their training

>>38579349

This guy gets it

There's maybe 2 or 3 trips on here that even lift at a decent level, why the fuck does somebody who can't even deadlift 350 have a fucking trip on?

>>38579432
>wanting free coaching from these trips
no you said the only reason to have a trip on is to be a top level lifter that just sits there and has to give out advise for free and basically be a coach ... for free

>Half of them lift less than me, the rest spend more time talking about their personal lives than their training
yeah i would rather the whole general be stronger but why does the name bother you, these people would still be posting, it would just say anon at the top, it wouldnt clean anything up

>>38579493

I didn't say they had to sit around and give advice at all, I said that they should only have a trip so people could ask them for advice if needed, that way they know they're asking someone who is qualified rather than just a random anon who could be giving out broscience, there is literally no other logical reason to have trips.

They do it for attention and nothing more, they have to be special and unique on a board that's whole purpose is anonymity, two seperate trips were whining in the last thread about being sad, and wouldn't even say why, leading to several posts about it from people, why the fuck is it necessary, it deviates from the topic which should be lifting, if you're gonna be a trip, atleast be a decent lifter,mans not a weak faggot like ilsley and Lith (Lith is excused due to car crash, but still no need for her to have a trip)

Ah now I get you, a pretty good start is not feeling the need to garner attention on an anonymous image board by talking about your personal life on a thread about powerlifting, going so far to give yourself a name so everyone can remember you like what you have to say is even worth remembering, I think that's a decent basis for not being a weak faggot.

Knut is standing still, looking down into the snow with a melancholic expression. He lost himself in dark thoughts for 5 seconds, almost forgetting where he was or what he was doing.

Perhaps in that one short instance, he saw the future and knew that Thomas would soon die, and leave knut alone for his last miserably years. Perhaps he was contemplating his luxurious yet monotonous life as a captive animal.

When coming to, he shook it off and just disregarded it as some spur of the moment rush of feels, perhaps brought on by stress.

Yes. Grease the groove. Add more sessions slowly. Keep daily volume very low.

If my squat feels iffy I'll add moderate singles at the end of non squat workouts.

You can even squat every day if you please (at your own peril).

>>38579853
This picture is halarious

>>38579749
lifts respond differently to calorie surplus/maintenance/deficit

my deadlift progresses on a cut or maintenance, my squat makes slow progress at maintenance (if at all), my bench requires a surplus to go anywhere

just cut down to 10-12% and then bulk properly.
