>tfw about to go to The Training Hall this week after years of bullshitting and casual lifting for real training and programming
I'm so fucking excited but the anxiety is pretty much fucking killing me. Hopefully they won't think I'm too much of a weak fatass but I know I am. I can't wait to actually get my ass in gear.

>>38840433

Crush it lad. Why'd you bullshit so long?

>>38840451
Hey i finally got my other car back from the body shop after 2 years and a few months.

>>38840463
The one your brother cracked up?

>>38840433
You won't even be the weakest one there. You definitely won't be the fattest one there.

>>38840451
holy shit rts coaching is awesome. thanks for recommending them, i've got a lot to watch.

>>38840463
learn to drive manual yet, babby?

>>38840451
I did high school and college sports but didn't really push myself aggressively in the off season, plus depression bullshit a couple of years ago in college that wrecked what little gainz I had and almost fucked my life. If I had a time machine I would tell high school me to do 5/3/1 and stick with it during the summers, but since I can't do that the best time to start is now. Hopefully I'm still young enough to build myself up and have a good long run.

Really pissed off today, went in and tngd my previous bench max and then hit 2 plates for 10. Now just sitting here thinking I fucked up the rest of my training week

>>38840565

Man so much fuckery is going on...

I suggested you check out Bill Starr's rehab protocol

Then I though you said, TSA, and confirmed that Bryce Lewis is the fucking man.

Now I realize you're talking about RTS, which is Mike Tuchscherer, who is also a fuckin bro

But this: http://startingstrength.com/resources/forum/recovery/38117-question-bill-starr-rehab-muscle-pulls.html

is what I was suggesting you check out.

Speaking of cardio, I really need to start getting into it.

Anyone have suggestions for cardio that's low intensity (doesn't fuck my big 3) but still gets the job done?

I thought about just maybe speedwalking on the treadmill at the end of my short sessions

>>38840836
What did he do? Swipe a powerpole?

>>38840868

If you're gonna troll you gotta at least anchor it in a truth, so that it has the ability to hurt. Instead of attacking the make, you shoulda gone after the year.

Swimming. Fun, relaxing, plus a little bit of back work

Did you guys know it's possible to actually do real cardio or play sports and still make gains?

>>38840875
Treadmill is become your friend, mang. That's the way to go. If you want to do something fun though... rope climbs and skipping.

I really want to be at the point where I can treat rope climbs as cardio fuck. I can only bench 2plateish and do a dozen pullups at most so I'm pretty far off

>>38841113
>Tfw 4runner with 310000 miles
I love my car. Also, literally who?

>>38841055
I did gymnastics. Rope climbs for me are easy enough to be considered cardio. I usually do them after a deadlift/row day.
>>38841064
This. None of that crosshit form.
>>38841129
Tbh you sound ready to do them on a regular basis. Twinkism is also a bonus, so yay.

>>38841193
I saw a machine that was like an endless rope climb, it looked like the tightest shit and i wish i could use one.

>>38841193

An alternative to rope climbs, assuming Lith has the equipment, is using the hand-over-hand method to rope pull a sled or similar. Much more loadable than rope climbs but more space/gear required.

>>38840546
>>38840576
Thanks guys and the other guy who replied but I cba to you him

>>38841234
These are actually probably more feasible as my gym doesn't have a rope hanging from the ceiling

If sled stuff is good cardio, maybe light farmers walks are good too?

Love me some farmers walks

>>38841470

They can be, but they'll tend to tear up your hands if you're not careful.

Depends on the sort of cardio you're going for though.

>>38841470

Totes fo shotes

nn lads can't really come back from anons sick burn so i'm out

>>38841470
5x10 squats are excellent cardio. Light farmers walks sound fun though. Trying to get as heavy as I can with them though. Hopefully 3 pl8 in 2 months or less.

>>38841482
Would probably use straps if I went for a tonne of volume

>>38841482
Nn

>>38841504
>hopefully 3pl8 in 2 months

Wat
I farmers walk 4 plate no problem, you should have no issue lad.

>>38841525

Farmers walks weights are generally given as per hand, not overall.

>>38841533
Oh, I use the hex deadlift bars for farmers walks. 4plate loaded each side

>>38841572

Yeah. That's far, far easier than an actual farmers walk.

>>38841580
>citation needed

>>38841598

I've done both. I'm a strongman trainee who happens to lurk here rather than a proper powerlifter. The hex bar is easier because its one solid frame with a good knurling. Farmers implements bounce around independently during the walk, are typically thicker than the standard barbell size and usually have no knurling.

Even in actual strongman, the frame carries (which are more or less akin to a hex bar walk, although still often with a thicker/less grippy handle) tend to be much heavier than the farmers walks. They're just easier to do.

>>38841627
That makes sense. surely it wouldn't be that hard to stabilise the farmers by your side though? As long as you keep a constant velocity in one direction, it doesn't seem like they'd swing around a lot

>>38840875
Do something, literally anything that isn't too taxing and get your heart going you lazy fuck. Run, ride, swim. Push the fucking prowler (my favourite). Do some fucking sprints. Who gives a shit it doesn't matter, it's just getting your heart racing and breathing hard. It's not that fucking complicated you little shits.

>>38841525
>Doing farmers walks with 94% of my max
WEW

>>38841651
It's very hard. Because they're long, and turning is an absolute bitch, if it's required. Try doing a hold with a barbell, one handed. That's as close as you'll get to it without actually using the handles.

>>38841504
>5x10 squats are excellent cardio.
Not with the weight you use.

>>38841657
>you little shits
They don't do their cardio, they're big fat shits.

>>38841651

It's not super hard, but it punishes you if you get out of the groove or misjudge your acceleration (its also pretty typical to set your grip very slightly behind the centre of gravity, which dips the front a tiny bit and gives you some momentum to get started). They're also quite capable of moving side-to-side depending on the exact handles and how they're loaded (a lot of them are at about the right width to have the plates on each one rubbing during the walk. God help you if one slides forward or back off the other one or you get a little less than straight forward and they start bouncing off eachother).

>>38841686
>They don't do their cardio, they're big fat shits.
Nah, around here a 3 plates squat is impressive. They're skinnyfat little shits.

>>38841678
>tfw you realise you can pick up more weight than your max deadlift and Walk around with it

>>38841678
>>38841691
Got me interested desu. Shame my gym is a normie gym with no real strongman equipment

>>38841706
>around here a 3 plate squat is impressive

Yeah if you're a 14 year old girl maybe

>>38841723
Sorry I can't keep up with all the new names around here for people that have been lifting for five minutes. What did you lift again?

IMPORTANT NOTICE

I am now offering a monetary reward to any poster who provides information that directly leads to me getting a gf

That is all. Have a nice evening.

>>38841706
I didn't say they were strong shits, just big fat shits. And even a small person is very large for a pile of feces.

>>38841715

Retard's exaggerating a bit with how hard controlling them is because the weight hangs below the handles so you're not directly trying to muscle around a stupidly long lever with weights at each end (although he's completely right about turning being absolute shit) but like a lot of strongman events it's one of those things that's only moderately difficult technique-wise once you know what you're doing right up until the weight forces you into a mistake (or you just plain fuck up) and then all hell breaks loose.

>>38841847

Belt? Whenever you like.

Wraps? Whenever you've decided you're going to compete in a division/federation that allows wraps. They're more akin to squat suits than belts in terms of how you use them in training.

Once you figure out how to use your fucking abs properly. Then stick one on. Weight is irrelevant to this a belt doesn't make you fucking weaker nor does it shift any fucking weight.

What the fuck?

Wear sleeves if your fucking knees hurt. The end. Don't over complicate pointless shit.

>>38842004
According to fit, any site with subjective rankings are bullshit and only exist to make you feel better about yourself. Most likely because they have a huge amount of dysmorphia and can't comprehend a 140 squat being intermediate

>>38842004
It's very generous with what it calls "world class".

>>38842012
>if your knees hurt

>>38842004
It is meaningless garbage for noobs and you shouldn't use it.

>>38841971
I have no idea what you're blathering about. Is that that shitty website that rates bodyparts like it has any relevance to actual lifting? Like it has any basis in physiology and that "advanced" or "intermediate" aren't anything more than meaningless buzzwords?

>>38842027
...You really are a drooling retard aren't you? That's what sleeves are for, they give you a bit of support, keep things warm and maybe act as a distraction from the pain.

>>38842004
The rankings, much like with those tables over at exrx, are pulled wholly from someone's ass. Hell, Rip and Lon Kilgore made those tables and if you go and ask them Rip will say that they just made them up and pulled the numbers out of air. They don't mean anything, they're pointless bullshit.

So obviously he's saying I'm wrong and that 2pl8 can hurt your knees.

>>38842420
the point is that if your knees hurt at 2plate, it's not because you dont have knee sleeves. it's because you have god awful form.

>>38842432
The problem is that you're trying to qualify something that doesn't need it. Angry anon was just pointing out that there isn't some magical number where sleeves matter, you just wear them if they're comfortable.

So the main point of wraps is to keep your knees warm and "lubricated".

I honestly prefer tights. They do the same thing while also keeping the rest of your legs warm. You can also wear shorts over them. Also super cozy. Best way to go imo.

>>38842553
>So the main point of wraps
Sleeves. Sleeves do this. Jesus can half you fucks even read?

I wear leggings when I squat. They're not the same as sleeves at all.

Low bar.

Significant difference. Standing GMs are usually a lot of hamstrings and a bit of low back, seated GMs are pretty much all back (both upper and lower).

Kek. So you've not been lifting since coming of the SSRIs? At least you've maintained strength. I haven't deadlifted in a while in favour of squats and bench and it's gone to shit.

It's more the connection between mind and body has improved. Yeah fatigue was fucking bad mang. Not lost much strength. Bench feels better as well, pulling the bar down has suddenly really clicked. Was a real nice session desu

On a neurological level or physiological level? Or both?
Either way, not having a clouded mind set must be refreshing. Are you almost off the meds entirely?

Any plans to increase that deadlift of yours, or is lifting a second priority right now?

>>38843726
No it came pre-installed.

>>38843749
You're so skinny there's no way you bench over 100kg. Can I see a picture of your chest?

>>38843763
Keep in mind my training max is inflated, actual max is 105kg.

>Can I see a picture of your chest?

Shouldn't you ask for a video of my bench?

>>38843780
Chest size determines bench bby. You can be a skinny twink (you are) but have a full chest and a good bench

>>38843789
>Chest size determines bench bby

if this is true then I seriously need to up my assistance game.

I dont have any pictures of me that show my chest.

I have a squat form check that I've posted here before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWO4EjE1MlE but it doesn't really show much. Guess you'll just have to take my word for it.

It is touch n go so it's not anything remotely impressive and according to SS it's my worst lift so idk why it's so hard to believe

>>38843818
The pectoral muscle is the primary mover in the bench press, ofc a big chest moves big weight.
Take a picture of your chest. You look like you bench 60kg from that video.

>>38843751
It's both, I'm not going through the lift so much to the point that I get stressed about it. Not as anxious before squats either. I'm down to 10mg every 2 days. Will probably be off entirely next month.

I could increase it really. 85kg felt pretty easy.

>>38843833
No point, I could just abuse lighting and angles to make it look like I have a monster chest. Just wait for my skill test next week and I'l post a video of a (hopefully) 110kg bench.

>>38843852
Interesting, I wouldn't have thought lowering the dose would have much effect on how you feel about the weight. Seems like a side effect of just being less anxious as a whole. Not that it's unusual to feel anxious before maximal attempts.
Will next month be the first time off since taking them? How long have you been on them?

Could do some maxing every other day if you've just got back to the gym. You might get stronger but you might just as easily lose that strength with fatigue.
It's about time you get to a 100kg deadlift though.

>>38843918
I've been on them for 8 years. Yeah a lot less anxious apart from when I have something to be worried about, memory has improved, no more weird fuckin dreams.

I reckon 100kg will come soon. Grip it and rip it.

>>38843935
Fucking hell, why are you coming off now? 8 years seems awfully long.

>>38843935
Any webms or videos of your lifts?

>>38843943
Because I'm tired of being constantly fatigued with low quality sleep and lack of focus. I'm amazed I've managed to lift anything at all in this state.
>>38843945
Was too paranoid to make any but I might have to let you critique soon

>>38843969
That's what I mean, why did it take you so long to get off them?
Also form checks are useless, you won't get anything from it. Not that I objectify to a video, just know that your form won't improve much if at all lol

>>38842304
Thanks bro, I do this every three or four weeks so I'm kind of used to it. Food and rest for me today

>>38843978
>Also form checks are useless, you won't get anything from it.

Not true, my deadlifts feel a lot better now using the cues I got from the video I posted here.

>>38843991
what was stopping you from self evaluating your own form? Just watch a few videos, read a few guides, watch over your own video and make improvements as you see fit.

There's nothing more useless than a 2 dimension video to "check" form.

>>38843978
Because they will do anything to keep you on them. Never once suggested I came off them. So got therapist's advice, he was angry af and told me to come off them asap.

I still might film 100kg for posterity.

>>38844010
Nothing wrong with a second opinion. If anything, a form check is a way to confirm my suspicions.

>>38844031
I don't understand what suspicions you'd want to confirm. Back rounding? Poor knee tracking? Just google it. There is a wealth of knowledge online. You can't rely on a few incels from 4chans fitness image board to correct fundamental problems with your form.

>>38844029
Very weird situation, but ultimately you're in the right track I guess. Good luck with coming off, I can't imagine the difference it must make after being on for 8 years.

Like I said, I don't objectify to showing off PRs, or just a video for any reason, I just don't see the point in form checks. I've never seen someone from here perfect their form with a form check.

>>38844078
I get your point and I think I will actually start analyzing my own videos using information I can find from reputable sources.

I still think they're worth it to find flaws in your form that you're missing/ignoring/denying. e.g, twinlex not hitting depth.

The jews did this

>>38844115
If you really want a form check its best to seek out someone you trust.
I give people form advice all the time and I haven't watched a form video for like 2 years lel

>>38844078
>You can't rely on a few incels from 4chans fitness image board to correct fundamental problems with your form.
> I've never seen someone from here perfect their form with a form check.
Considering the basic level of knowledge here, yeah basically. I mean, you've got a bunch of people squatting maybe 3 plates training 6 months to a year giving advice to people that squat 2.

>>38844135
And those who are strong never want to give you advice because they know they don't know it all.

>>38844135
Weak lifts =/= no knowledge

Like the other anon said, there's a wealth of information online. Technically you could be an awesome expert on squats with a 1pl8 1RM. Rather than ignoring advice, it's probably best to compare it with your own knowledge and other sources. The best help I ever got was from some guy on /r/powerlifting who had a 70kg bench video in his recent post history.

>>38844187

I don't even wear the belt tight desu, and yes i will get a better belt at some point.

>>38844141
Or because I get drowned out by a legion of people like >>38844151
I actually have experience coaching people and significant time under the bar. I've been at this for near 10 years and have at least something to show for it. But what's the point in going to the effort of analysing a lift and giving custom advice when it either gets ignored or lumped in with 20 other things or drowned under a bunch of sean posts? But no, you read something on the internet so you know better than me.

Far more enjoyable to just ignore it and join in the bullying and swear at some idiots.

she said that the upper back would be better activated if I kept looking down into the ground throughout the lift

I had a similar problem. People told me to do a tonne of chest exercises and it didn't really do much.

So instead I just benched more. Seems to be working so far desu, jumped 30-40kg in 6 months and my chest is very noticeably bigger.

Telling Amber as we speak.

Communegrill was a dirty hippie who couldn't keep her squat rack clean. God can only imagine how clean she kept herself.

That was her charm. And she refused to attention whore as well.
When she was in instasync with us she told us not to tell anyone she was there because she didn't want to be like sparrow.

CG was best girl there's no debate. She was a good lad. Now she doesn't even live in a commune anymore and is happy in uni.

I have counter examples

Tho he used to bench over 200

Shoulder injury for falling for the wide grip jew.

Now he has elbow issues because he does the narrow grip jew.
