What the fuck do I do when my squat just never improves but everything else does?

I squat deep, my form looks great but whenever I progress it eventually goes to shit again. The bar always feels fucking heavy on my back and I literally cant get tight in my upper back and locked in on a highbar squat. I've practiced over and over but am I doing something wrong? and my legs always feel weak/tired.

-Switched to low-bar
-Started using a belt
-MORE VOLUME

What is more volume man? Any routine or scheme?

I really want to avoid belt for now since I can get deep with it.

My wrist is fucked because I did barbell curls

I CANT DO CHIN UPS ANY MORE :(

>>38710430
I don't think you should avoid a belt for the sake of your lower back man. Not fucking worth it.

Try mad cow 5x5, I ran it and could only progress the squat on it, every set was like rpe8. It was easy as shit with fast as shit progression.

>What is more volume man? Any routine or scheme?

I started Cowboy Method which is basically TM.

So VDs for the first three weeks were

-10x5
-10x4
-10x3

where I'd previously only been doing 5x5 for VD, so the above represented a sharp increase in volume for me. I'm not saying you have to do Cowboy Method too, but you should start doing more work.

>I really want to avoid belt for now since I can get deep with it.

pls no, get a belt. Don't see why you shouldn't be able to go deep with a belt...? Plenty of other people do.

What program to run, keep in mind Ive only done c6w and im at 180/130/230 at 93bw (kg)

>>38710486
It's technically 1x5, 1x3, 1x8
VERY Technical!!!!

>>38710452
Thanks man, so mad ow really isn't a meme? I only need to use it for my squats though. I wonder if 5-10lb weekly is possible? I just need to stop being so impatient.

I don't use a belt just because I can't get deep with it on.

>>38710101
I don't care about George Seegar desu

>>38710506
>I've only done C6W
>squat is my worst lift
???

Can anyone link me to the Instagram of this one powerlifter girl? She looks like a boy, squats in the 3's iirc, and her knees practically touch on limit reps.

>>38710512
You're probably using the belt incorrectly? I used to have a vendetta against the belt, I thought so many bad things about it, put it on one day and realised I was just being stupid.

Try it again my man. Take some of that pressure off your lumbar spine. You don't always have to train belted, you can do both. I'd recommend you do both.

Madcow worked really well for me and garagebro, maybe it will work for you?

>>38710524
Ive done 4 c6w, never really squatted in my own brogram. Also the long femurs meme

why does middle finger on the rings bench feel so much more unstable than pinkies on rings

This is a well structured and enjoyable write up on the topic, shows both sides of the argument. Give it a read perhaps, you can form your own opinion on training, that I can't object to.

But I know in my situation that a belt is detrimental due to an pre-existing spinal injury, some will be ever so slightly biased.

I'm making a note here:
HUGE PR.
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
POWERLIFTING GENERAL
We lift what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are injured.

But there's no sense crying
over every missed rep.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of patience.
And the lift gets done.
And you make a neat pr.
For the people who are
still not inured.

Forms FORM-55551-5:
Personnel File Addendum:

Dear <<Subject Name Here>>,

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my spine.
And crippled me.
And tore it to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of Norse's data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta (orbit)
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got injured..
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still not inured.

Forms FORM-55551-6:
Personnel File Addendum Addendum:

One last thing:

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else
to lift with you.
Maybe Bodorio...
THAT WAS A JOKE. HA HA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this poptart is great.
It's so delicious and moist.
Look at me still talking
when there's powerlifting to do.
When I PR out there,
it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've 13 sheikos to run.
There is eating to be done.
On the people who are
still not inured.

PS: And believe me I am
still not dyel.
PPS: I'm doing deadlifts and I'm
still not dye..
PPPS: I feel FANTASTIC and I'm
still mot dyel.

FINAL THOUGHT:
While you're dying I'll be
still strong as fawk.

And when you're dead I will be
still shredded.

EVERYTHING YOU SAY TO MEEEE

>>38712082
That actually looked pretty good

I've been doing some Leemangramming the past couple of months.
I started with a set of 15 on each lift and just added weight each session until I needed 4 sets to do 15 reps, then switched to a top set with two 5% drop sets.
It kinda felt like the 15-rep days weren't enough volume to really do anything. I don't have good rep strength (though it's getting better with this programming), so I'd end up doing a set of 15 at like 65% and then just moving on to accessory work. However, it does seem to be working, so I'm not sure if I should be changing it.
I guess my question is, "how can I make those early sessions feel more substantial without making them overbearing?"

>>38713244
Hey man, I am liking spotoshot so far. It is a lot of volume though and pretty tiring

>>38713284
glad you're liking it! what is your weekly tonnage like? and what are you doing for squats and deads? yeah, the volume is pretty bananas, I agree. I can confirm that once you start getting down into the 5-8 rep range, it starts being a lot less tiring though.

also heads up, your spoto reps will be able to stay up a lot better than your slingshot reps. like I am still at 7-8 reps/set for spoto, and down to like 2-3 for slingshot. coach ssb confirmed for me that this is normal, so don't freak out if it happens to you too.

It will impress 99% of gym normies, and it is better than most of /plg/ by a wide margin.

350 is a great benchmark that requires a decent amount of work and dedication at a "hobby-lifter" level over the course of a handful of years.

Thanks for the webm--I look forward to watching it but I #gottagofast and still have a lot of work to do tonight ;_;

OH-at what point do you do 5 lb increases instead of 10 lbs?

HOpefully sometime next week I will have time to do stuff beyond just main lifts and leaving.

For deadlifts, last week I did 470x3, which was a PR, and it didnt look amazing but it felt ok.

I'll probably go for 480 x 3 this friday. I still have some LP to go on that before it stalls. I'm hoping I can make it to at least 510-530 before a stall.

I anticipate it going the way you mention.

Gross.

Anyone know anything about distal bicep tendon soreness? Basically soreness in my inner elbow. I've had it occasionally for quite a while, always goes away after a day or 2 and hasn't really affected lifting. Typically bringing the bar down on bench and lowering myself during chinups aggravate it a bit.

Today I dumped a front squat, must have done it poorly, because after that it got quite sore.

Also yesterday I opened a really tight jar and it kinda hurt. Typically it's worse in my left elbow

Anyway anyone know how to help this? I think it's gotten better as I've gotten stronger. Would doing lots of curls help?

no
I mean I realize that my noob gains and starting point were better than most people, but I hit 400 in the gym (396 in meet) in just under 25 months of training, with the first 6-8 of them training each of the big 3 literally once a week and making essentially zero progress in 6 of those months because of getting railed by work.
99% of gym normies need higher standards tBh

>>38713502
okok
>OH-at what point do you do 5 lb increases instead of 10 lbs?
I don't think I'm going to. I think next week, I'm going to just do my slingshot workouts at whatever weight I hit the same number of reps as I did on spoto for the week. so like if I am spoto pressing 275 and I get 5x6, then I'll slingshot 315 because at that weight I got a similar amount of reps in when I did it, just so that they stay somewhat similar in terms of difficulty. does that mae sense or no?
mirin deadlift
>HOpefully sometime next week I will have time to do stuff beyond just main lifts and leaving
yeah my workouts are taking like 2+ hours to only do whatever bench I'm doing, squats or dead, and close grip or whatever accessories I'm doing. pretty comfy though

Lol. Your false modesty and "I'm average I swear" attitude are not conducive to a long and productive career in strength training.

MOST powerlifters will not surpass 400 wilks, let alone gym rats.

YOUR experience is not the norm.

APPRECIATE the gifts you have. Whether it be leverages, durability, autistic dedication, etc.

Denying it is... tacky. Yuck.

nah senpai im fat as fuck. like 235-239 or so.

I should be much stronger than I am.

I am slightly worried about training this week because i have gotten shit sleep and shit diet and too much stress I really hope i dont hurt myself :'''''(

Next week should be fun when shit calms down (theoretically)

btw ilu alex.

>when you low ball your >e1rm numbers for Nuckols 2 day int squat and you're still not quite sure you'll be able to do the work

I didn't say I was average.

>I am slightly worried about training this week because i have gotten shit sleep and shit diet and too much stress I really hope i dont hurt myself :'''''(
you can only do what you can do, yaknow? one of the nice "built in" features with spotoshot is how you can decide however many reps you hit on a certain workout based on how you're feeling. for example, see week 5, workout 1, the last set. my left pec felt like it was going to explode, so I just stopped and didn't worry about missing reps or whatever, then came back the next couple workouts and killed it.

also I would 100% recommend making yourself an excel or google doc like pic related (ty rando)

Connective tissue is not finite. You literally do not know what you are talking about.

No, it doesn't recover at the same rate as musscle tissue. That's true. But it does regenerate, and it does adapt to training.

>>38713635
Yay a friendo on bucks 2x int squat
I've done it twice, got 15 lbs up over a low is e1rm the first time, 10 lbs from actual 1rm the second time. Hoping to make 10 lbs a month gains for a while

It used to hurt from low bar, but thumbless grip alleviated it

>>38713685
>my point was that 350 isn't as impressive as most people would like to think it is. not that it's not a benchmark or anything to be proud of hitting, just I don't think people should say like "oh man I hit 350 I'm strong af now"

Nobody is proud of a 350 here. Most people with a 350 talk about it hang-dog here because of the talent-chuds that say "350 ain't shit I hit that in no time."

Saying that 350 isn't respectable is strength-dismorphia to the max.

It's like a 95 lb anorexic girl running around calling herself fat to feel better.

>>38713692
>it does regenerate, and it does adapt to training.
The timeline of your connective tissue is longer than your current training macrocycle (hopefully).

>>38713647
Thanks friend. It'll be fun flying by the seat of my pants the whole time. Didn't want to do 3 day int/adv because I have no clue what my rep maxes for low bar are either, and it has me do my normal squats, front squats, and paused beltless oly squats. But at least the beltless high bar stuff is done with actual percentages.
>Tfw the high bar beltless work actually looks ez as shit

>>38713685
>FUCK the white benches
Lmao

>>38713718
Starting it next week. That progress doesn't look too bad.
>Thumbless grip
Ayyyy. I don't think hammer curls would hurt tbqh. You'd get some nice bar stabilization gains for bench and some decent forearms and grip work, at the absolute worst.

>>38713750
Could you imagine if a training cycle took longer than the time the connective tissue needed to adapt? Wouldn't be surprised if that happened to Isley's lower body already :^)

>>38713685
>excel thingy
yes! I have one but I havent updated it in the last 3 or 4 workouts. Need to get on it this weekend.

Spoto makes me feel like my pecs are going to explode quite often.
On the first day, I thought both of my pecs were going to tear simultaneously. It was the only reason i didnt get 5x15 lol because i was worried my pecs were gonna die

>>38713750
>The timeline of your connective tissue is longer than your current training macrocycle (hopefully).
Elaborate a bit.

I dont mean to come off rude but you repeat some of this stuff, that really is just nonsense. Yes it's important to care for your joints and connective tissues. But they aren't made of scotch tape and lots of hope and prayers. The body adapts in all ways, it really is amazing.

For example my grandmother slipped and destroyed the meniscus in her left knee. Now she calls it her good knee, ten years later, because it really did heal. Physical therapist confirmed and approved. And this is a 68 year old woman who has no training history. We as humans are not made of glass.

You can trust your body, as long as you dont blatantly abuse it, it will hold.up.

I don't think that's the point

I think buda is just pointing out the fact that this general has a huge strength dysmorphia issue which causes people with pretty decent strength to feel ashamed about it.

You don't have to be a WR holder to be strong, lad.

My point is that you should take care of yourself, and appreciate your connective tissue while it lasts.

Even if you do everything right, you may be one calcification on your femoral head away from shredded cartilage or meniscus.

That's all. Appreciate it while it lasts. Sports-specific training can be very finite. Have fun :)

He's not saying best lifting or strong as fuck.
He's saying if you can get a 350 Wilks your pretty strong in the world and above most people.
In here we see REALLY strong people and it clouds our perception.

You got strong really really quick. Those are actual obtainable goals for you quickly. The rest of us it's a long ass grind and along the way we have to appreciate that we are still stronger than most people that lift and be happy.

I want to focus my quads more because my squats are very good morning like, I think its affecting my deadlift too.

What can I add to SS to work on quads more?
I was thinking front squats but I tried them the other day and they felt very uncomfortable with just the bar. Then again I haven't put a lot of effort into learning them yet.

I think one of the guys at my gym has autism. How do I test him for it? I've been considering setting off firecrackers near him and gauging his reaction.

Super serious question guys. Why did that paralypiam manage to bench wayyy over the ipf bench wr for the relevant weight? Are the rules slightly different, less or a pause? I'm not a powerlifter so pls no bully

>>38715724
Small legs = less mass = more upper body mass but lower weight class
More upper body mass = bigger bench

So he effectively would be in the weight classes above if he had functional legs and trained the squat

>>38715737
Well, I'd buy that if he wasn't a super heavy. So that's irrelevant surely, an able bodied bench specialist could have the same upper body mass. That doesn't explain why he benched like 30 kilos more than the ipf bench only record

>>38715724
He's iranian right?

Drugs basically.

>>38715821
hes still gonna be on significantly less drugs than kirill, and could quite possibly give him a run for his money. None of his records look more than rpe 6

>>38715737
I get what you're saying but he benched 310kg. That's impressive no matter your weight class.

>>38710101
who the fuck is George Seegar?

>>38715821
Paralypics is just as strongly tested as ipf m8 if not more so. Also look at the nationality of the shw bench record holder, you telling me the only difference is drugs? Nah.

>>38715940
That algerian is also full of drugs

>>38715963
So they're full of drugs. No problem. Still irrelevant. If you you don't know the answer to the original question then don't make this into your one man white knight crusade against drugs

>>38716140
You already got your answer, all mass he puts on goes to his upper body

>>38716155
Actually that's a good point. I guess his body doesn't really give a shit about his lower half so all the muscle that he can build goes directly to his upper half?

CRWLNG N MY SKN

IDK if Poutine is here anymore but I just wanted to let him know that what I thought was my back (and this could be the case for him as well) was actually SI joint. I'm simultaneously glad it means no bulging disc and irritated because it's been bugging me since June and I just want to do some heavy lifts for once. BB is getting boring as fuck and I've only been doing it for a week and a half.

I'd welcome any replies on fixing SI joint dysfunction, though I've already begun working on improving glute/ham recruitment, mobilizing psoas/hip flexors, and am beginning to work on abs more often. These are meant to be how to fix it, I think.

>>38716921
Don't worry about your elbows pointing back, it's fine. Trust me I spent 2-3 months figuring out the answer to this question because I have the same issue and I came to the conclusion that elbows down is better because it's /easier/ to keep upper back tightness that way but if you can keep upper back tightness with them up, then you're fine.

>>38717403
Trying sumo out can't hurt. It definitely feels comfier for me. It did take a little bit for it to catch up and pass my conventional though.

>>38717570
Thing is, I tried sumo once and it caught up to my deadlift within 2 workouts. I stopped because I didn't like grabbing onto the smooth part of the bar instead of the knurling and like a retard, that made me go back to conventional.

Just thinking about whether I should wait till next cycle or go for it now. Skills test is in 4 weeks so it's probably best to just wait.

>>38717594
When I do sumo I have 2 fingers on the smooth and 2 on the knurling. Wait until after the skills test. If you were able to pull your conventional max in 2 workouts though I think switching is probably not a bad idea. Or stick with conventional so I can still outdeadlift you. Up to you.

>>38717317
Go for a long walk, live with it

>>38717609

Do you still do conventional as assistance? not including from blocks.

>>38717632
Nope. I messed around with conventional some in the middle of my Sheiko after one workout and pulled 165 with really good form, but then did 185 and my back rounded pretty badly. That's the only time I've really done it since April.

Has anyone run madcow and can tell me about it or share your experiences?

I'm really looking to see if this can help my squat.

How come you never post webms of deadlifts

>>38718189
I told you to never fucking respond to me again. Fuck off and die.

So, the key to gaining bigger is doing more volume, right? If you gain slight myofibrillar hypertrophy by sets up to 8 reps, can you add back-off sets with 6-8 reps to squeeze in more volume in each workout?

What if you do 3-5 sets of 3-6 reps at rpe9 and then deload? Will you get bigger gains?

If specificity is the key, why not just do mock meets every single session?

>>38718189
Nice nice. Got a YouTube channel I could see?

>>38717702
Just do more volume, keep track of volume, intensity, average RPE, etc. And your squat will go up. Madcow 5x5 just ups your volume. It really matters less what the name of the program is, what matters is doing more volume at a set intensity and recovering from it.

My back pain goes away with lifting, i took 3 weeks off and it was awful. Choke a band round a rack and do some decompression work, donnie thompson youtube. And do some cat camels, warm up with back extensions get blood flowing

How did you restore range of motion after your lumbar injury?

>>38718815
Does anyone else think of their lower spine as a strong oak board instead of bones?

Like lumber instead of lumbar?

My spine is ply wood and cheap iron nails

>tfw lower spine is rotting lumber wood but upper spine is jurassic dinosaurs

If god exists then why did he fuck up the design of the lower back?
ITS SHIT

>thoracic spine
>no actual dinosaurs

>lumbar spine
>made of bone instead of wood

>cervical spine
>doesn't actually serve you

Osteo are a million times better than chiro

Chiro - "youll never lift again, come see me twice a week for 6 weeks at £42 a session so i can crack your back"

Osteo - "youre going to recover quick cause you understand whats wrong and youre actively fixing it outside our sessions, also you have this issue which is inhibiting recovery and optimal movement ill fix that for you so you can come back better"
