DUP is seriously the Crazy Secret Fitness Experts Don't Want You To Know. It just works.

>>39061903
seems good tho does twink alex have a decent bench?

>>39061914
I have a "5x5" day. But it's really 5x at least 4. Basically if I get 20 total reps within 5 sets I allow myself to progress 5lbs to the next week. Two days before that I do heavy singles or doubles, whatever j feel like, and add 5lbs the next week. My third bench day is 3x8. After all of that I just do shittons of accessories. My bench seems to be moving well. My 1rm from 2 weeks ago feels light (225 at 145)

>>39061921
He benches like 100kg but apparently since using this his bench has exploded

it just looks like a generic weekly progression/DUP with a lot of volume. If you bench under 1.5x bodyweight, it'll probably work

>>39061947
when would you test for a 1rm? every 4 to 8 weeks?

>>39062034

This shit is driving me nuts, I never used to do this when I could squat semi decent, now that I've gone through a low back injury and am trying to bring back my strength slowly now that I'm mostly recovered my knees won't stop caving when the weight gets even remotely heavy, and when I forcefully try to keep my knees out even with babbyweighy it feels slow and semi grindy.

Why dont you like amraps?

Youre not supposed to literally go balls out and keep repping until your joints break or you pass out. Just until form degrades enough it doesn't really resemble the proper movement.

>>39062275
High reps are the best. Build work capacity at higher volumes and lower intensities, then taper it into high intensity.

If you consistently avoid high rep work, that's a weak point that could potentially award you quick and easy gains.

>>39062164
Make sure your elbows stay directly under the bar. It might be the angle, but it seems like your elbows are going a bit in front of the bar.

>>39062329
I've been going to true failure on my 28 memes bench amraps

do you think this is a bad idea?

I don't let form degrade much (butt stays on the bench, touch at the same point on the chest) but I usually go until I can't complete a rep and have the spotter take it

I don't push the envelope like this on squat or dead

>>39062378
I'd say it could lead to some bad habits, or at the very least, make it harder for you to recover between sessions. Cap it at 9-9.5 m8.

>>39062378
Imo it's fine as long as you don't push it too hard. My amraps are usually until I just cant do it anymore but once I went really hard and hit a huge PR but after I sat up from the bench I was extremely dizzy and my eyes were red. Probably not healthy to do that too often

>>39061917
WHAT IS DUP TELL ME I WANNA KNOW THE SECRET PLEASE MAN

>>39062430
WHAT IS DUP IM NOT A SAMEFAG I JUST WANNA KNOW TOO DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT IS

>>39062430

Train the same lifts 3-4x per week, rotate the rep ranges so they're different across the sessions.

That's pretty much the basis of the idea.

>>39062430
>>39062453
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE ANSWER TO THESE TWO GUYS ANYONE AT ALL I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW

>>39062396
Bad habits were mostly what I was worried about. I think I'm still going to push much closer to failure on bench than squat/dead, but a 9.5 cap is probably a good idea for the long term. Thanks

Something about benching to failure with a competent spotter is just fun I guess. True failure on a squat or deadlift scares me, both in terms of injury and taxing myself too much for proper recovery. On bench though, I feel like I can just retard out and have no major consequences

>>39062400
I've never felt near this exerted on bench, even going to true failure. It's probably in part due to sucking at bench and using bitch weight

>tfw you pushed it hard as fuck in the gym so food tastes better than usual

Just bread and butter with some chicken breast is fucking amazing. Almost cant handle it

>>39062475
Well think about it

Those benchbros/curlbros you see at the gym, doing upper body shit all the time and never squatting, usually have pretty impressive benches. I've seen 315 at 155, 285 at 185, 275 for 5 easy at 220, and so on

>>39062597

yeah I'm just saying that powerlifting has gone through trends, and for a while one of those was that it's not about mass but rather about CNS and efficiency or whatever

it's like how posterior chaining the shit out of everything used to be a legitimate method but now it's viewed as outdated, esp for raw

>>39062619

In fairness, most of the guys talking about efficiency over mass weren't being handed scrawny guys to train. They were getting ex-footballers and so on.

>>39062619
But it kinda is about CNS and efficiency and form at the elite levels. There's a limit to how much mass you can put onto your body. You gain muscle to give you the ability to apply lots of force to the bar, and once you can't get any more muscular, you need to up the intensities and really perfect your form.

For the first 2 or 3 years of lifting, the focus should really be on getting as "big as possible" tbqh. That's why GPP and high volume is so important

And that's why people don't need to be doing sheiko if they can still progress faster than once every few months

>>39062648

yes, I don't disagree with any of this
I'm saying that for a while, even relatively inexperienced and weak powerlifters were getting told all about neural efficiency rather than just doing higher volume. It took until just a few years ago for people to realize that the chief limitation on most intermediate lifters was mass.

Again, I don't disagree, but the main consumers of information on powerlifting are intermediates. Novices are still getting to grips with even going to the gym, and elites have worked all this shit out for themselves already or are already huge

>>39062164
wtf I have the same setup but somehow I always end up raising my ass off the bench. Help?

>>39062329
Thanks, I think I found my problem as to why that's happening.

>>39062701
I've been watching a few videos on bench form.
You might be pressing up through your legs instead of back.
A cue that helped me is to simulate a leg extension pressing your back into the bench instead of pressing up through your hips. This also helps with arching pushing your ass back/ trying to touch your ass to your shoulders

>>39062679
Yep

On a related note, do you know of any good upper body endurance exercises? I was thinking of rowing or swimming, but I was looking for something that uses more pushing muscles, for better bench carryover. My upper body GPP a shit

>>39062740

have you done pushups...? I view them as endurance considering 50 in one go is pretty average

or you could just do some cardio and some higher rep volume in general, it helps with GPP

>>39062740

If you've got access to one, prowler shoves are an idea that keeps popping up. Or more generally, walking the sled around while curling/pressing/etc the handle rather than dragging it like usual is an old-ish westside idea for gpp/recovery.

>>39062755
I run a couple miles a day and I've been doing high rep stuff. I've started to incorporate push-ups, I'm working my way up, starting at 300 per week to 1000 per week. I would do more but I feel like I'd be impeding recovery if I jump into it too quickly

>>39062761
>tfw no prowler or sled

>>39062730
>simulate leg extension pressing your back

Sorry, this is hard af to imagine. But basically you're saying to press up from your back?

>>39062801

Personally, I like nuts and trail mix. But really its just whatever you like and are used to, meet day isn't really the best time to start fucking with new stuff.

>>39063326
Rip says it's because additional muscle size changes the angle of the tendon attachment to the bone which results in a more efficient application of muscle contraction force.

>>39063338

also hit 155lbs OHP for a set of 5 reps and another set of 4 reps

Caladan, how do I train chinups for strength? I wanna be able to chinup 100kg of my fat carcas and 100kg of weight on top. I currently can one rep maybe 50kg of added weight.

>>39063574
See >>39063491

>>39063574

idk, what I know about chinups is that they seem to burn you out really badly at high volume (seems way harder to me to do the 2nd set of high reps at the same quality as the 1st set)

I would guess dead hang low reps, like 5x3, but I'm talking out my ass here. The thought has never occurred to me. Have you tried going rock climbing?

>>39063459
i hope you injure yourself so badly you cant lift again

>>39063594
W h y

>>39063610
>deadhang pullups
enjoy your rotator cuff injury, a dead hang puts all of the weight onto your infraspinatus alone

>>39063610
Rock climbing sounds useless. I'm pretty sure that being able to do a bunch of one-handed chinups would be more useful for rock climbing than actual rock climbing.

Yeah I thought about 5x3 or even 1x2 then 5x3 back off sets.

>>39063474
So my back is too rounded? i don't know what flexion means

>>39063483
>>39063491
>>39063620
If your not gonna add anything useful then don't post.

>>39063664

before you mentioned it, it didn't even occur to me that dead hang meant releasing tension. You're right, that's retarded. I always just assumed it meant full ROM.

>>39063665

IMO you're in uncharted territory as far as anything but anecdotal evidence and conjecture goes

>>39063669

FFS

>>39063664
I doubt 5x3 would injury rotator, you won't be spending lots of time just hanging there. It'll be like 3-5 seconds per set at most.

>>39063669
okay i'll add something useful:
YOUR FORM FUCKING SUCKS
PICK UP ANYTHING, LITERALLY ANYTHING ON DEADLIFT FORM, BEFORE YOU HAVE A SLIPPED DISC YOU FUCKING IDIOT

>>39063691
why risk it, especially when you add weight? keep the tension, you can still get a good and proper ROM

>>39063688
It would be actually fun to experiment with max weight chinups and bulgarian style. As far as I know upper back recovers quickly, so I'll try something like

>1x2 + 3x3 morning every other day
>sets of singles and doubles of gf chinups to failure evening every day

>>39063725
Every day

Until we like it

>>39063727
But i don't like it but i like all of you

>>39063703
Okay. I've no idea what constitutes a proper chinup, actually.

>>39063735
Then he'll post it everyday until you do

>>39063726

Upper back recovers quickly, the likely issues you'd run into if anything was to go wrong would be in the shoulder girdle. Or the elbows/wrists if you're really jacked up and have supination issues.

>>39063748

yeah this. Neutral grip may be the way to go, there would be carryover to other grips and it seems the safest. I recall that it also gives the highest ROM

So I obviously don't know your situation, but if you are relatively fit, go to your nearest college drinking area and make a goal; talk to girls. Since you are at a bar, you can have one or two drinks, get a little liquid courage, and then talk to some sluts. granted, you will probably get rejected quite a few times if you are really awkward, but the worst that can happen is that someone says no and you are back to square one. keep doing that and learning how to talk to them and keep trying to get them to have sex. the more you try the more likely you will be to succeed. at least thats what helped me.

>>39064326
This post is great except for
>and keep trying to get them to have sex

>>39064335
that is the end goal not only goal. Just talking to them will let things happen naturally, but its not like you are walking up with hey bb u wanna fuck

Hey lads, juat some basic hints how to get bigger muscle:
You need to reduce the weight your with, up the amount of reps and do slower reps really focus on the contraction.
Bigger muscles will also help you to lift more, so consider it.

>>39064416
who the fuck are you again?

>>39064491
Just an observer that is a little concerned about the ineffective muscle growth method applied here.

Are you guys not interested in gaining muscle mass?

>>39064603
>Are you guys not interested in gaining muscle mass?

Not really

I want to get stronger, I'm sure more muscle mass would help me do that but I'm not a teenage girl who's concerned with how they look

>inb4 "but you lift as much as one"

>>39064626
a bigger muscle has the potential to be a stronger one

You lift as much as one

>>39064603
are you retarded? unless you have some legitimate numbers you have nothing to say. We all know higher reps = more muscle mass fuckwit. Move onto another genera cunt.

>>39064645
That's not gonna give you a solid pump though.

More reps, more focus on the individual rep and maybe some super or even drop sets would do, right?

>>39064662
So what exactly would be bad about having additional muscle mass?
It wouldn't affect your main lift programming at all.

>>39064666
20-30 reps gives you a great pump

>>39064673
people seem to think some assistance will make their lifts plummet next session cause muh overtraining

>>39064675
Well, when you say "high weight" I assume you don't talk about weight you can do for 30 reps.

Backsnapped on my warming up set. Cant leave bed the next day. Will it take one week or longer to be able to walk?

>>39064689
last few sessions ive done 25 reps of cable rows with 90kg, 30 reps bent over rows with 130kg, 20 reps of dips with 40kg added to my 108kg bodyweight, 20 chin ups with bodyweight

>>39064709
And those reps you you have listed for each exercise were in one set each?

What's everyones experience with 5/3/1? I'm 3 months in and still adding weight, I think it might be too good to be true and I'm gonna plateou at some point. Also having a deload once a month is killer but whatever

>>39064727
thats what ive been saying...

Doing Sheiko programs, using the official app.
I do my squats ATG

Did
Small load prep 1(intermediate), now prep 2.

Yesterday I was supposed to hit a squat PR (1RM was 140kg, hit 145kg). However I was told I didn´t need to stop there, so I attempted 150kg, failed right when I broke parallel on the way up

Is this expected? I really feel like I shouldve been able to get 150kg after 6 weeks of training.

>>39064743
Not clearly, no.

Well, so it seems you are doing it right.
I take it you are the one with the most muscle mass in this general?

>I tested my max 4 months ago, I failed 150kg exactly the same way as yesterday.

>>39064673

If its just glycogen, or its in the wrong places, all you're doing is adding bodyweight without performance.

That's kind of a disadvantage in a sport with weight classes.

>>39064774
>I wonder, does the person with the most mass happen to be the strongest too?
Yes. This is nothing new, the one that fills out his weightclass the best will almost always win.

>>39064813
Interesting.

Well it's obviousl every single lifter in the thread would benefit greatly from gaining some knowledge in how to gain muscle mass the best way and applying this knowledge to their accessory.

And by that I obviously mean muscle mass for muscles that are relevant to the sport. To debunk what the other anon countered with.

>>39064863
>Well it's obviousl every single lifter in the thread would benefit greatly from gaining some knowledge in how to gain muscle mass the best way and applying this knowledge to their accessory.
How much do you total?

>>39064873
There is enough evidence at hand for that question to be irrelevant.

You guys yourself have said that your strongest lifter also holds the most muscle mass.

>>39064986
>You guys yourself have said that your strongest lifter also holds the most muscle mass.
Yeah and he doesn't do some retarded bb style training, instead he trains specifically for the sport.

>>39065001
You mean he doesn't do his accessory bodybuilding style?

I have never said you should train your main lifts bodybuilding style.

Well, he has to have some kind of BBB routine for this accessory, otherwise he wouldn't gain as much muscle mass as you guys make it out to be.

>>39065026

Nope.

Very few powerlifters do their accessories BBing style. And most of those that do are enhanced lifters.

Because if you're not an enhanced lifter, the stereotypical BBer approach is actually kind of shit.

Accessory work, useful. Haring off chasing the pump at the expense of everything else? Much more useful for recovery than it is for hypertrophy.

So you are telling me, that strength training approaches, meaning using maximal weights for rather low amount of reps (assume 5-6) is better for natural muscle development than using, say, 12-15 reps with lower weights, doing super/drop sets and generally focusing on muscle contraction?

>>39065294
So you do your accessory 12-15 repped, ocassionally do some drop sets do get the last bits out of the muscle and generally don't care too much about what weight you are using for accessory lifts, but rather how well you address the target muscle?

>>39065334

No.

I can only assume at this point you're operating off some definition of 'maximal weights' or 'strength training' that has basically zero overlap with how everyone else uses the terms.

I understand that you do not use maximal weights for your main lifts. Obviously you use percentages that are more like around 75-80% most of the time.

I am, however, talking about building muscle mass efficiently.
That is what you do accessory for, right? To build muscle. To add hypertrophy. Because the main lifts are not really good at building muscle.

And these accessory is what I am talking about. These you should do BB style.

>>39065413
Well, they are not optimal. For them to be optimal, you would have to do them in a different style - bodybuilding style. More reps, more focus on hypertrophy.

But that you don't want to do. Understandable, it's not your sports goal.

So instead of touching your main lifts in order to gain more muscle mass, you touch your accessory.
This way you still end up with less muscle mass than someone that trained BB style entirely, but not as much as if you also fucked up the way you do your accessory.
