How do I become more explosive off the ground? I'm really slow off the ground even at 70-80% and I really think it's limiting my deadlift potential

This one is comfier
Use this one

>>39196973
but muh norsie>>39196911

>>39196970
Round your back

how many protein shakes do you drink per day?

>>39196970
I think speed off the ground is over rated and focusing on it seems like it causes more problems than it solves

>>39197085
I drink 3-4 a week

Only because my diet isn't particularly good

>>39197099
U sure? I squat the same as I deadlift

>>39197113
Do you pull conventional or sumo, and how much?

>>39197226
Conventional, 200kg

>>39197250
Switch to sumo

>>39197303
My bones hurt whenever I try to sumo even at lmao2pl8

>>39197112
breh I drink 2 a day to be sure I get more than 2g protein/kg bw

do you like eat a shitton of meat?

>>39197346
I eat a good amount of meat, eggs, and greek yogurt. I also only eat around 1.3-1.5 g/kg bw

I recently got a good deal on 10kg of whey so my usage may start creeping up doe

>>39197346
>>39197391
0.82g/lb of bw is the maximum amount of protein anybody would ever need
If you get a bit less like 0.7 you probably aren't missing out on anything, but 0.82 is ideally what you want to hit to be 100% safe and sure you're getting all the protein your body might need

his face is heavily bloated due to his BF%, which is such a shame. lad could be handsome. some things are more important though - such as the pursuit of becoming a champion

>>39198515
It's a front squat, depth doesn't matter.

My lower back hurts when I lay on my back and lift a leg
Why?????

>>39198521
Tbh I think Phil is one of those guys that just naturally have round faces. Just look at Mark Bell. His face is literally as fat as Brian Shaw's despite having pretty solid abs.

>>39198594
hes just got big abs and a high bodyfat percentage and extra puffy from dbol

>>39198405
I lost my virginity when my total was probably around 650 lbs at 190 lbs

>>39198603
Well just look at Isley. He's every bit as fat as Oreo yet he still has that sexy face.

Can someone check my shit deadlift form.

Something just feels so fucking wrong.

>>39198822
Don't jerk it off the floor and be strict with your positioning.

>>39198114
Yeah, Isley is looking good as always

>>39198833
Gotcha. I've always tried to be good about pulling the slack out of the bar before the lift, but stiff bars just don't give the feeling of doing so.

>>39198822
What Isley said also brace your lats and core harder and shoot your hips into the bar as you pull

But it's not really that bad

>>39198876
Gotcha. I'll try to think about the hips part next diddy day. Thanks brah.

Very serious question and I need advice

How do I fix a herniated disc? I've been in pain since janurary.

I do the MCGill stuff but that comes at a problem because it fatigues my core for squats and dead lifts and then I hurt myself
I have no idea when to do it.

Make the core stronger and lower back stronger

Do decompression exercises so the leaked fluid can re-enter the disc

Stretch so the nerves are less compressed and sciatica is less

Idk if this works or not but maybe try dead hanging from a pull-up bar for a while, maybe but a dumbbell between your feet

it is a genuinely exciting project. the hours are just going to be shite.

I will say though, biofuels only solves one issue, and that's net GHG emissions. it doesn't solve our eventual energy needs (i'm sekritly on the downlow searching for jobs in fusion and thorium reactor startup companies : ^ ) )

>>39199069
it is.

the reason is the operators work 12 horus shifts.

you might ask "why don't they do 8hour shifts, it's got to be better for them any ways"

that would be better. except the company would have to hire 33% more employees.

>but the man-hours remain the same, they aren't paying any more wages

correct, but employee benefits are expensive as fuck.

so here we are, industrialization and technological progress still exploiting high worker productivity for the good of man kind

Reverse hyper

Planks, weighted planks if they don't hurt

I've heard of such a thing as corrective deadlifts or something but idk what they are, light wanna look into that

I read on SS forums a while ago that some lady fixed her herniated disc through 3x20 deadlifts with suuuuper light weight

I know a guy who herniated his disc badly and can still deadlift heavy, he did a lot of core shit

One thing i don't understand about roideraroos is why they care about weight classes. If your gonna be on 3 grams of test why not get as fucking big as inhumanely possible and lift stupid amounts of weight.

Even if we talk about deadlift only, isn't there some druglifters that are better at the deadlift like Coan, Duffin and Green?

>>39196970
explosiveness = CNS activation which makes muscle contraction reach peak torque at a faster rate while also coordinating synergists to produce peak torque at the right time

what increases peak CNS activation?
Eccententric training
High Velocity training (I recommend barsense/Iron Path) to measure bar velocity
Chains and Bands increase CNS activation even without chains on the bar (once you train with them and adapt to them)

What increases peak torque?
Concentric Training
Velocity training
Chains and bands
Physical cues
this is also assuming your technique and mobility are on point, as well as diet, sleep, and mental state.

>>39197875
for your ego, you hit depth

for future training and allowing you to improve and avoid missing depth, go lower.

Thoughts on the Texas 4x4 belt?
Is it worth £70?

Thoughts on the addidas singlet?

Neither are IPF approved but that's life innit

>>39200217
Well you are going to compete in the usapl one day aren't you?

>>39200217
Get the new SBD belt instead
And the SBD singlet

>>39200217
Just get an ipf approved belt for when you compete.

>>39200258
when does the fat end and the man begin anymore

Just in case you're unsure of how to pick a barbell up, here's 150 pages just released by nuckols on how to do it

http://strengtheory.com/how-to-deadlift/

>>39200258
I was wrong it is IPF approved. Its the Titan Texas 4x4 belt. Pullum sports carries it for £72 but you can buy it in the Americas for $50? TF is up with the prices for strength sports equipment on this shit island?

Know any other good belts around this price range?

>>39200245
no thnx x

>>39200240
I'll compete whatever fed idc

>>39200297
>he thinks the deadlift is as simple as picking the bar up

No wonder you can't deadlift 200 after all these years of lifting

>>39200298
Titan Texas 4x4?

Literally never heard of it.

What do you guys think of SL5x5? I'm pretty new to powerlifting, and I've been doing SL5x5 for almost 2 months now. Should I start incorporating more exercises into my routine, or just stick to what I'm doing for now?

>>39200322
>all these years

hes 16 kek

>>39200298
Okay but if you compete in any other fed than the IPF or your national affiliate, just be aware that you're not going to be actually powerlifting

>>39200333
Let me add on to that:

Competing in the usapl/IPF is like running a 100m sprint, where all runners are sprinting 100m

Competing in a lolfed is like running a "100m" where some guys run 100 and others run 98 or 94

And some are on roids

You can add some core work and vanity lifts but don't add too much if you're still gaining strength on the program. I'd say 3-4 accessories per session, done kind of light, is the most you should add. It should take like 20 minutes at most.

>>39200063
What kind of assets did you invest in? You dont need to say actual companies just sectors.
I did a little bit of day trading, made 10k in one week but quickly lost as I was a bit younger and rash but I want to take up investing full time once I get some cash in my bank.

>>39200526
I have a couple grand invested in ETFs that I intend to keep there and add too till I have a couple million by retirement and a small rental property that I share with my brother that makes me a cool ~150 a week. Once I make it out of uni I'll probably expand my portfolio to be able to live off of it

>>39200564
ah ok so you are a student currently. that works as I am too right now. So you cant live off of your investments yet? Because thats the part I dont get. Do investors just make enough from investments each year to essentially cash out say 100k and just live off of it for the year?

What ETFs btw? I made and lost all my money on QQQ options.

My 2017 goals:
Fix my lower back
Pull 6platates

Come on come on come on

>>39200583
Nah I worked for a bit to build up enough to have something to work with but currently I'm partly supported by my parents since working a job and doing uni full time is rough with a commute.

>do investors just make enough from investments each yeah to essentially cash out say 100k?

Good ones sure. For example, if you have say 5 houses that you own each with 3 tenants paying you 300 a week to live there. That's 234k a year in revenue. Of course you'll have expenses that cut into that but you could almost certainly live a comfortable life from that working close to 0 hours a week.

>What are ETFs?

ETFs are essentially "stocks" that follow an index. An index is a collection of a group of companies (for example the S&P 500). What this means is that instead of buying into one company, you're buying into a tonne so if one fails, you're probably OK. Even if the whole economy slumps like it did in 2008, you're still fine because in the long long run, the economy has ALWAYS gone up.

Tl;dr ETFs are super safe investments that you'd keep for literally decades as a long term thing.

>>39199364
Corn Stover (basically the stalk thats left after harvesting). It's a pretty exciting opportunity. My company is hard in the paint on corn ethanol, and they're easily the leader in tech and innovation in that. Most corn EtOH plants are a wash w/ energy, (EROEI of 1.1 or worse) use tons of water, and don't even manage to use all the starch in the kernal. My company has yields on ethanol and corn oil that can't be touched by the rest of the industry, which is a fairly big deal (not wasting resources).

they're also undertaking the industrial scale cellulosic (they have a 20 million gal / year plant, the one I'll be working at - its currenlty working but not enough up time to make it profitable, which is what I'll be tackling).

They chose corn stover because its material thats predominantly being wasted currently, cheaper than other stalky biomass sources and really plentiful in Iowa. Once they get the process tackled, they're hopeful to move to tapioca plants (srs, huge opportunity for humanity). And most importantly, there will be massive synergy between existing Corn ethanol plants and the stover cellulosic plants, and the combination will be extremely beneficial for humanity's liquid fuels sector. the combination could yeild us as high as 80% reduction in carbon emissions on a volumetric basis to gasoline. More importantly, EtOH has significantly lower energy density than gas, but can actually come out ahead in mileage due to effects specific to Otto cycle heat engines (cars).

Biofuels arne't prevelent yet in the US, but once this cellulosic nut is cracked, it may very well be the beginning of the end for liquid oil extraction in america.

This is the plan. Where I live (Sydney) the real estate market is wew lad, just wew. Since the mining boom died down, it's pretty much the only thing holding our economy up. some people think it's a bubble but unless the government stops letting chinese people get free residency for buying houses, the prices are never gonna drop. Even shitty houses in sydney are worth a lot now and they just keep going up. 50-100% increase in the last 10 years is pretty good imo

This has been going on for 2 weeks whenever I try to lift lads, what is this?

>>39201768
Could it be your breathing technique? Are you feeling anxious at all?

>>39201768
Could be anything. I've been experiencing something a bit similar to that recently and I'm pretty sure it's anxiety/stress.

>>39201788
Could be poopy pants

>>39201509
HOW have gained this little muscle? Literally do SS as written with lowbar squats and your classical lifts will go up more than if you do whatever bullshit bitchgramming you're doing now because clearly your volume is just nonexistent.

>>39201782
I don't know about breathing, it should be good. Don't know if anxious really.
>>39201788
Weird, I've been thinking about cutting out tobacco entirely for the week to see if it helps, fucking sucks to not progress for like 2 weeks.

>>39201843
Might be direaha poopy splatter

>>39201768
>>39201788
My bet would be mid-semester anxiety buildup.

>>39201843
Are you breathing deep and focusing on your diaphragm rather than breathing shallow into your upper chest?

You want to try taking some big breaths beforehand to steady yourself. You might just be getting a bit nervous before the lift. This shit fucked me up for months.

>>39201883
What about gassy fart syndrome

>>39201891
Might be turd stuck in butthole

>>39201891
No, I know how to breathe, I've been lifting a good while and before that had singing lessons so I never developed bad habits.
>>39201883
Yeah maybe, I don't consciously feel anxious though.

>>39201911
Maybe stinky fart gas?

>>39201911
If it is anxiety just employ those breathing techniques to chill yourself out anyway, no harm in it. Slow everything down and get your focus.

>>39201911
Yeah, that's how it starts. You're probably good, just take some time during the day to relax. Not like 'get drunk and watch tv' relax, like catch your breath and calm down.

>>39201971
Maybe keep up my moderate tobacco use to not add nicotine withdrawal to it?
>>39201962
Alright, I'll try it out

>>39201764
a pretty significant amount.

I'll say, we do still utilize an anaerobic digestion that makes CO2 + CH4 + H2S, but that stream gets cleaned up to make commercial grade CH4.

we also burn everything that can't be converted in a solid fuel boiler (lignen, partial % of stover bale fines etc) and produce steam used in the process. I have a spreadsheet with the rough methane flows but I don't remember off the top of my head. but that's one of the biggest reasons it's carbon offsetting.

For the most part, most of that methane would be released out of cattle instead. Now we're capturing it.

>>39201983
Five or six cigs a day isn't really the end of the world
>but stop fucking smoking cigarettes anon

>>39201983
The tobacco use could be causing issues with your blood pressure so I would consider getting it checked just in case

>>39202014
I smoke like 3-5 a day.

Well at first I thought it was maybe a blood pressure problem or similar, but that doesn't really make sense since I don't have a very high resting heart rate or anything like that.

>>39202030
They're not all that closely tied together. Stress and stimulants can definitely shoot up both your BP and RHR though.

>>39202050
Well would it be ok for me to continue smoking my 3-5 cigarettes a day?

>>39202062
Jesus christ mang they will do literally nothing positive for your lifting
There is no chance they do anything but make it worse

>>39201971
Nah abdominal bloating?

>>39202075
I know that, but the smoke break is the single most relaxing moment in the world.

>>39202062
Don't smoke before you train as the immediate effect of the cigarette is to raise your blood pressure and heart rate. Give yourself an hour or so beforehand. That's if you smoke close to training times anyway.

>>39202062
Like "yes" but no, fucking stop smoking sooner rather than later.

Hey guys. Im getting into this paleo thing. I like the idea of basically taking out all of the processed crap and added sugars to go almost full caveman mode.

I know that full paleo mode is incompatible with 4 days a week strenght trainning so I wanted to ask when would be the best time to put on the carbs on trainning and off days.
Let's say a day goes like this:
-BF: Bacon and eggs with olive oil and some green tea
-Snack: 1-2 fruits (depends on the season)
-Lunch: White rice? (Pre workout)
-1 hour before workout 1 cup of coffee
-Trainning
-Post workout meal: more white rice + some fruits and fats (almonds, walnuts)?
-Dinner: Some meat, chicken or fish with salad.
-Last meal: almonds or walnuts and fruits.

And on off days cut the rice completely?

Thanks
