Right side lateral hip pain radiating into the middle of my lower back (or maybe it's the other way around?)

Any thoughts on what this might be and solutions for it?

It's just funny because I'm literally not using any different cues. I just got stronger quads and a stronger back. SSBs are pretty good.

>stronger quads and a stronger back
How does SSB do this? Wouldn't a front squat do the same?

>>39213489
It's not terribly bad, day to day life is fine but a little annoying. Squatting and deadlifting feel shitty once I get to heavier weights. Would rather try to fix on my own

>>39213360
E1RM.

Up until very recently I had trouble breaking a 2plate squat, I'm not sure what changed, but they suddenly got incredibly comfy about 2-3 months ago and the numbers started skyrocketing.
My DL is pretty disproportionate tho just because of retard strength.

>>39213247

The Texas method a shit

This programs been working for me well, so far added 15lbs to bench. It's just that I think I started too heavy and all my days have been RPE 10, might be good to slow down and hold the weight the same for a bit

Texas method is shit because the volume is so low because of weekly maxing and shit

>>39213901
If you can squat a weight you can jerk it, the issue is holding it overhead which requires significant core strength and shoulder stability, FAG

jerk is the hardest component to learn because the force transfer from legs to propelling the bar is nothing like anything at all in PL and its taking some getting used to

>>39213935
I won't get stronger on the Texas method because I'll fail all the weekly maxes because I wont have enough volume to build muscle

I really don't get how you squat more than you deadlift though... A deadlift is literally just an easier squat

>>39214695
Thanks lad

>I don't know how you squat more than your deadlift
>mfw I could probably deadlift more if I just squatted the weight up

>>39214708
Like think about it. A sumo deadlift is LITERALLY a wide stance half squat, except the weight is in your hands instead of on your back. You can do more weight with a half depth squat than full depth squat yeah? So then just half squat that deadlift up. If grip is an issue even use straps temporarily

>>39214732
Holy shit that makes a lot of sense

I'm gonna screencap this and read it before my next deadlift session

Just got home and dad said he would kick me out of the house if i kept lifting weights.

>>39213918
Better yet, why not just use two 437.5 lb. plates?

>>39216409

Probably. No point beating your head against the wall for no reason.

>>39216409
Which beginner program? If it's SS, they have a bunch of "advanced novice" programs.
And remember you program each lift separately, if you're beginner on bench but intermediate on squat keep your benching on a beginner routine.

>>39216502
I took my experience from running SS a couple of years back (havent been lifting the past year and a half) and assembled the following:

A
deadlift
OHP
dips

B
squat
bench
lat pull downs

so far I've had to deload on squat, OHP and deadlift

what kind of worries me is that my numbers are still low, for 3x5 its

40/57,5/67,5/95 kg

I'm at 83 kg, 190 cm and eat 3000 kcal per day. just started loading creatine yesterday so maybe that'll give my numbers a bump

what I'm considering is the following routine:

A
deadlift
OHP

B
bench
chins
rows

C
squats
chins

Don't worry about them man, you keep being you. Keep lifting heavy, you'll get there someday. You already gained over 20 pounds, just keep at it. When people like these start teasing, just remember that you're that much stronger than you were before. 2 years from now you'll look back and laugh.

I'm 9 weeks into SL 5x5.
My lifts in kg are:
OHP: 55x5x5
Bench: 85x5x5
Squat: 115x5x5
DL: 145x1x5
I'm 6'2" 92 kg.
I'm really struggling to recuperate between workouts. I feel like my quads, glutes, pecs and entire back ate constantly sore nowadays. But worse than the constant mild pain is a feeling that all my muscles are tight. All the time. I don't think I've relaxed in months.
Do you guys get this? Is this just how we live now?

>>39216998
This >>39217066

Stretching, mobility routines and some easy bodyweight work will do wonders for you. My quads/hammies were so tight that they ached if I was still for more than 15 minutes, it got so bad that it was interfering with sleep and work. Once I started actually using rest days to loosen up it cleared up. My lifts improved a little too, since I could actually hit a proper ROM without feeling like I was about to snap

>>39216622
>Or try doing SS but with a single 5 rep set for everything. Maybe your recovery is shit.

The program I posted above is designed to be one heavy set of 3-5 reps in each exercise, followed by 4x10 at lower weight.

You start with 1x3 and when you can do 1x5 with that weight you raise it and repeat the process, always doing 4x10 at a lighter weight of your choosing.

>>39217105
Wrong approach, dewd

>>39217149
It improves form massively across the board. Especially when it comes to maintaining a neutral spine. If your hamstrings are tight you will get buttwinkitis, if your hips and quads are tight you'll find it hard to hit depth and achieve a decent arch in bench.

Yes but you can load a safety bar heavier. It's somewhere between a highbar and a front squat and the only technique required is keeping your spine extended.

It's a great and simple program but most people fuck it up because they are too retarded to follow it.

Why is this the GOAT schedule lads?

>>39217771
nice strawman

more like
>ok I'm doing the program as written
>oh I failed ID because there's 6 sets of bench a week maximum, and I only deadlift one set in a fatigued state a week
>oh no i developed no work capacity because this shithouse program makes me peak at the end of each week and hit a PR as an intermediate

garbage routine, the only people who should be doing TM are people who still have a little bit of linear gains left and want to milk them

if you are well and truly past that point you need more volume

>>39213985
Are you fr? You could probably tall snatch that as a warmup if you sucked less.

>>39217814
oh yeah and also this is not to mention that the stock suggestion for failing ID is to reduce the volume of the program even further (lascek suggests 3x5 on VD)

>>39215722
Oh I misread your post
Yeah I only use it for training too

>>39217814
>>39217835
The program you're criticizing is the most basic template for people fresh off SS.
No-one's preventing you from adding more volume if you feel you need it.
You're probably one of those people who think Rip is against curls.

>>39217771
>I'll do more volume for no reason and fuck up my progress later on
?

>>39217897
You say nobody is preventing you from adding volume, yet in your previous post you said this:

>but the program doesn't have enough volume
>I'll do more volume for no reason and fuck up my progress later on :D

So which is it? If you didn't make gains it means you didn't do the program, and if you didn't make gains it means you should have altered the program?

I've run SS, I've done TM, I've read Rippe's books and I know what his stances are and as far as beginner training there is nothing wrong with what he says, but the Rippetoe approved intermediate programs are truly terrible

also adding volume to a weekly progression scheme only works to a certain extent, after which you won't be able to recover in time for intensity day (but you may still need even more volume to progress)

If I'm squatting ATG (Ass-To-Grass), do I first bend at the knees or the hips?

I've heard conflicting answers to this.

>I'll do more volume for no reason and fuck up my progress later on
Apparently SOME COACHES think that if you use more volume than the minimum that you need to progress you will stall on that volume faster than if you progressed on the minimum all the time.

A needs 10 volume, does 10, stalls in 1 month, increases to 20, progresses, stalls in 1 month, gets 2 months of gains

B needs 10 volume, does 20, stalls in 1.5 months, gets 1.5 months worth of gains.

If B keeps doing more volume than needed he'll advance at basically the same speed as A but will just have to do more for no reason.

IDK I never gave it much thought.

>>39217939
I got the impression you were progressing on ID (the whole 15-20 lbs in 3 weeks) and wanted to add volume despite progressing.

If you're failing ID, you tweak the program. Otherwise you do the bare minimum volume you need to progress.

Yeah adding volume to a weekly progression only works until you become advanced and TM is an intermediate routine, these words are defined in PP.

>>39218085

high bar break at knees

low bar break at hips

The depth of your squat makes 0 difference

Every back squat starts off with at least a slight hip break.

try warming up with slow eccentrics, try to do isometrics in hip abd/external rot, do 10 sec standing contractions of your booty

>a bench press is just a push, guys

>>39218197
Its a reverse push up

Its a push down

>>39218089
no, I ran TM years ago and my experience was pretty much what I outlined: get to ID, stall, follow the stock suggestions to no effect

my lifts weren't even particularly high, and it was the worst on my deadlift (which coming off of SS was my best lift) which actually regressed a little

in general, more volume you can recover from = more gains, but the weekly setup of TM puts an unreasonably short timeline on this stress-recovery-adaptation process

look at other routines, they do it over the course of a month or even multiple months

I followed TM for a bit less than a year and was progressing more or less at the rate of ~1.5kg a week, if averaged over that term. Last year I did only 1-3RM training for a few months due to a bunch of traumatic injuries but I'm hopping back on TM.

That said I jumped on it when I was a total noob and failed, was a combo of inflated maxes and not eating enough.

YMMV, but it's in no way a shitty, non-working program.

>>39218292
>1.5kg a week
Do you autist unironically bring microplates to the gym?

I have literally never seen anyone use these in real life, and I've been a member of a PL club for a good while.

Lads is there anything more useless than an RPE 7 bench set?

>>39218301
>if averaged

>>39218330
But warmups are useful

>>39218329
according to google that is ~1.13kg so that'd still be increments of 2.5kg like we do.
>>39218342
what, why not set the rounding to 2.5kg

>>39218383
Oh I misread that as 1.5kg plates are autismo micro plates.

>>39218212
>look at other routines, they do it over the course of a month or even multiple months
I feel like adding one thing to this: Weekly and monthly progression doesn't really say much about how much you're really adding to your lifts. Linear programs build on making small PR:s as often as you can, while slower programs allows you to accumulate more fatigue and adapt, putting enough stress on you that huge PR*s become possible. It wouldn't surprise me if some people can put more on their total in X amount of months by doing a slower program than by doing weekly progression, even if they're at the stage where weekly progression usually would work.

>>39218301
Only people I've seen using microplates is a 12 year old girl training at my gym. I've also seen them when my club used a wl meet but that's in competition.

>>39218383
>what, why not set the rounding to 2.5kg
That's not how average works. If he adds 2,5 kg a week for 3 weeks, then stalls during the fourth, the average progress for those 4 weeks becomes 7,5/4=1,875 kg per week.

>>39218477
Don't forget to round the average to nearest 2,5 kg

>>39218496
There would never be any value on it that is not divisible by 2.5kg

Haven't squatted in a suit or bsck squatted anything over 80% in months but I feel like jumping back in the suit today. Should I do it lads? I probably won't kill myself, but I have forgotten how to equipt squat for sure

/squattingwhilereadingarticles/
Left leg is beginning to tighten up again, like it did in the Spring semester. I may have slightly overdone the hiking+lifting combination, at the very least not paid enough attention to recovery. Welp. Front squats in an hour.

I am probably just retarded and relationships are supposed to get looser and looser the longer they last.
Partner talks more to other guys, texting goes down to a few texts a day, etc.

That is just the way it supposed to go, i guess, but whenever it happens i want to cry and have no choice other than ending it, going through the disgusting phase of relationship-ending-grief and eventually lay it down.
