/plg/ - powerlifting general

Turn off all lights down stairs then flick the switches till I can see the light coming from the room.

How is that even an autism test? It's a super-common logic problem that's not even hard.

>>39221056

>>39221009
Why the fuck is there a switch that turns on the light upstairs in the basement?

>>39221070
it's pretty common for larger houses for multiple switches to control one or more lights, try not being poor

Just turn all three switches on. Why the fuck do you need to know which one is the correct one?

Anyone go too far with the TM and fuck up joints? I did a reduced load TM for the summer, am getting back to loading back up, but think I have put too much wear and tear on my hip after pretty much a year of 1 5x5 squat volume day a week at various weight loads... I'm pissed but I think I need to take a break from squats for a month or so to see if it heals. Anyone else overdo it on TM?

Put it into a fucking calculator you reet

Why does it seem like I can manipulate weight so FUCKING easy? I can literally go on a 4 month bulk, gain 10kg and not increase my total very much, but also easily and quickly lose 10kg bodyweight without losing anything off my total.

meanwhile some people do a 10kg bulk and put crazy amounts on their total, then can't lose weight or lose lots of strength when cutting.

>>39222132
You're just gaining and losing fat.

Wolfram in this case does pedmas, this question is all about where you put the implied brackets 2bh. Wolfram isn't the best all and end all
>>39222256
It is the exact order I entered as in the question
I entered 48/2*(3+9) exactly like that

>>39222300
BIDMAS is correct. It's the standard worldwide.

Wolfram super computer > your small handheld calculator

>>39221142

What's BIDMAS? I learned PEMDAS in school.
>>39222343
This was what bugged me the most, to be honest.

You know what else is a sign of autism? Arguing endlessly about the same thing.

>>39222375
Brackets
Indices
Division

>>39222339
Bedmas doesn't make sense in this case.
It effectively changes the equation from 48/2*(3+9) to (48*(3+9))/2 I think that 48/(2*(3+9)) makes significantly more sense than (48*(3+9))/2 in this example. Wolfram doesn't take into account a lot of things and if you have done any maths past high school you would know a computer is only as useful as the person that enters the equation.

>>39222378
So everyone on the internet is autistic?

>>39222389
So it's the same thing?

>>39222394
You are a fool. I entered the information correctly.

>>39222407
Yes

>deadlift doesnt go up

No idea what to do. Trying to progress 5RMs is so weird man.
Espcially when there are 7 days between each try.

>>39222422
10 sets are better than 1

>>39222410
What did you enter?
Where you put the implied brackets changes it completely. And if you didn't put the implied brackets in you are a fool.
(48/2)*(3+9) which is (48*(3+9))/2 is different to 48/(2*(3+9))

Green plate I guess

>>39222458
>>39222422
Idk what you are trying to say.

Every guy in this thread always says to peak with 1 topset of 5 ONCE a week.
Its just that after 7 fucking days i need to relearn EVERYTHING, my form is constantly relearned and discovered newly each sessions.
I don't ingrain shit and i dont get better at it.

>>39222535
It would make you look big I'm guessing
you increase in weight but stay the same bf% the downside is your lifts stay the same

oof my butthole reeks

>>39222535
You can go down a weightclass which would increase your wilks...

Or you could go up a weightclass and put on the difference as muscle. Larger muscles means greater potential strength gains so if keep training your lifts should increase pretty significantly.

Yeah sure why not

Not immediatly, but unless you're already near your bodys limit in term of muscle mass, going up a weight class with almost only muscle gains will increase your wilks long-term.

squat
bench

squat

I call an electrician and have him fix the wiring because there's no goddamned good reason to have a switch that turns on a light in a room up the stairs from you so far away that you can't even SEE it, makes ZERO sense, someone must have fucked up and whichever switch it is that controls it must need to be connected to something closer to it on the first floor. Also I think this might violate most local and federal building codes so it has to be changed regardless. What a stupid test, at least use something realistic.

Not in life, really. Just lifting.
I'm tired of my lifts not really going where I want them to be, but mostly I'm tired of the powerlifting shit of grinding lifts so much - or, if I don't grind them, find out I'm advancing even less. My only decent lift is the deadlift. I've grown to really dislike back squats and, while I don't mind benching, mine is nothing worth mentioning. And even then, I worry that if I leave and at some point decide to come back, all my (weak) hard-gained lifts will have gone to the shitter and I'll have thrown the time I've already spent training away.

I'm considering going into oly - although I have shitty leverages and am even less likely to be competitive at any level - or back to general strength training - although I don't know what to do at my level besides 5/3/1.

sorry for the blogpost

>>39222963
This isn't /smg/

Most of the posters here are twink fucking shits

>>39222963
>Are you sure you clicked on the right thread friend?
Absolutely. Bodyweight matters a fuck lot in a sport with weight classes. Big totals don't necessarily win you a meet. A good wilks score does.

>>39222983
>A good wilks score does.
Not really. Putting up the biggest total in your weight class wins you a meet. The swedish nats silver medalist in -105 kg could've gone up to -120 kg and he would've gotten gold, despite his wilks score getting worse.

>>39222967
Intermediate feels. You need to eat more and do more volume. Try TM/Madcow instead. 5/3/1 is a bit of a plod. Why not just try doing a bit of fun lifting for a while? Do some variations? No one is holding a gun to your head when it comes to your training.

Also, have you deloaded/taken a week off lately?

Sounds like you've switched around a lot already.

To be honest if it's not for you mate, it's not. At the end of the day, if you don't enjoy it anymore you're not going to be in the right mindset to progress any way.

Also, you have to consider whether youre overthinking it, personally I was held back a lot by analysis paralysis. Over thinking every fucking lift.

I honestly don't mind being chubby, but I just don't want to be much fatter than I am.
How can I best approach gaining up to those weights without becoming a hambeast? Just bulk slowly? Mini-cuts in between bulking?

This is the hard part. I'm a fat kid at heart, and it's easy for me to gain 2lb/wk if I'm not careful.
>cardio
Just started doing cardio a month or two ago... Gotta fix my conditioning from the couple of decades of being sedentary.

Seems like I'm doing OK. I've been doing mini-cuts on my deload weeks, since I'm running a programming style that doesn't really build a ton of fatigue. Not sure how long that will be practical, though.

Just try some variations and try something new. You don't have to give up entirely, your gains won't just waste away as a result. Practise going for it on lifts, really get a bit fucking reckless. You know the form now, you just need to get the love back.

Oh also more fat, just limit your carbs and do everything you can to avoid sugar and shit like that. I'm around 240-245 pounds (according to google) myself and I really only eat some fruit, drink some milk and eat rice.

Aw yeah flipflopping is a big fucking part of it. I just forgot about programming for a while and did what felt right. Made a load progress as a result and now going back to TM and back to the grind so I can slow bulk until May.

Hip issues (turned out to be an inch leg length discrepancy), knee issues (patellar tendinitis in both knees, probably due to too many squats), shoulder issues (impingement maybe, not sure), elbow tendinitis (not really a problem though), oh, and I also can't use straps.

Honestly, it's not bad at the moment.
But when my knees, hips and shoulders hurt, I was so fucking done with lifting.

Are you consistent with mobility work and do your curls? Coz it sounds like you're not. I have an issue with my left hip which came about from not being consistent early on and I have to work on it all the time.

Try out some yoga or follow supple leopard. It'll really help. Also, to help support your CNS recovery fucking Epsom salt baths. Best ever.

>>39223522
I'm not consistent with mobility work at all, depending on how you look at it.
I think that, beyond the ROM necessary for the lifts, additional flexibility isn't a good thing.
I also think that if you have to stretch a lot, there's some underlying problem which causes the muscles to get tight (to protect the body).

When my hip issue was way worse, I didn't know I had a leg length discrepancy.
I stretched and stretched my hip all the time, and every time it would just get hurt and tight again.
After finding out and addressing the underlying problem, I rarely have to stretch it anymore.

Yeah, I do my curls.
It's not that bad, I just don't do skullcrusher-type shit.

That's a load of horse crap mate. It's what people who don't stretch say to justify it.

You have had a series of issues such as patellar tendonitis which can be caused by tight quads. You know what lower back and hip pain can be caused by? Tight hamstrings.

Do your mobility work and hate lifting less.

>>39223703
Ok thank you frend. What about a belt?

>>39223629
I'm sorry, but it's true.
If you need to stretch a lot, there's a good chance you're ignoring an underlying issue.

Sure, tight quads can excerbate patellar tendinitis, which is why I did do those stretches when I got it.
Sure, lower back and hip pain can be caused by tight hamstrings.

It's just that after you gain the required range of motion, you shouldn't have to put in much more time stretching.

I'm not sure who it was, but I listened to a few podcasts of some really knowledgeable strength coaches, and one of them said that he found the ones who always did a lot of mobility work were the ones injured all the time, not the people that only did a bit.

>>39221142
it's 2.
and that is, because implied multiplication (i.e. 2(9+3) instead of 2*(9+3) ) is as if there were an extra set of brackets.

Well, do you want a good one or a beater? Buying a beater is actually a waste considering it'll probably get all floppy and more or less useless before you ever hit serious weights.

>>39223804
I want a good one but the SBD one is a bit too pricy for me

>>39223373
Yeah, I've been eating more fat (low 100s) than most lifters seem to... I just feel better that way.
>avoid sugar

>>39223782
Perhaps I should be less flippant in my answer. I have an underlying issue with my hip and I am managing the pain through stretching when you're right, I should get it checked out instead.

When it comes to the required range of motion, that does get reduced again if you neglect mobility work for a significant period of time. So stretching twice a week will maintain it.

Don't neglect it because whatever gains you have made are quickly lost.

>>39223821
Inzer or Titan single prong. Lever is fine too, but if you're constantly going up and down in weight it gets to be a pain to adjust the lever every time.

>>39223821
>>39223840
Or if you like different settings for different lifts. I personally have a Titan lever and I love it. The downside is that it's a pain to take off a prong.

Anyone here practice flexing their hip flexors for the conventional deadlift? Condition says to sit on a chair, raise your knees to your chest and hold it to feel your hiP flexors contract.

>>39223840
Ok thanks. What's the sizing like on the SBD sleeves?

Any anons in the Wisconsin area want to join strong Alex and me at a meet at the end of January?

>>39223840
You don't have to adjust the lever often unless you dreamer bulk. I have an inzer lever and have gained 14 lbs since I last adjusted it and I still have room to grow before adjusting it again.

>>39223854
>t's a pain to take off a prong.

>I have an underlying issue with my hip and I am managing the pain through stretching when you're right, I should get it checked out instead.
I hope a PT will be able to help.
I had to go through several to get the help I needed.

>When it comes to the required range of motion, that does get reduced again if you neglect mobility work for a significant period of time.
Just doing the lifts through full range of motion will make you keep that mobility.
I think the major reason muscles get tight over time is the workload imposed on them.
If you don't impose much stress on them and go through a full ROM each workout, it'll take a very long time for your mobility to diminish.
On the other hand, not imposing much stress will also give you no gains, so it's a trade off.
The higher the workload, the more often you'll need to stretch.

For an average intermediate, stretching whatever muscles get worked heavily shouldn't take more than 10~30 minutes a week.
(I pulled those numbers out of my ass, but they serve as an indicator)

>when you finally find that one line of code that was fucking with your program
My god I just came lads

>>39223877
Compared to a lever it is, especially if you like to crank it really tight.

Is there necessarily a trade off between hyperextending and good morning-ing?

My hyperextension has gotten better but now my reps toward the end of the set and/or session start to look pretty good morning. no back rounding, just very horizontal.

>>39224000
>What's g code
Programming language for CNCs. Only kind of code I know.

>>39224000
I can put my prong belt on and off as fast as a lever, that makes the lever belt a failed gimmick making it extremely difficult to change the tightness as well as more susceptible to breaking with absolutely no upside

When it comes to your training, as you are finding you are getting injured and struggling to progress you do need to consider these kinds of things as possible causes. Just don't forget to practice active recovery.

Also, it's clear you enjoy training really. Just look after yourself, have fun and be patient.

I like to learn about the underlying mechanics of lifting, and anatomy, and I like lifting itself.
It's just that it feels kinda pointless if you don't make progress for ~3 years.

Don't worry, I'll be fine though.

Went from 62kg to 88kg, now down to 78kg, at 1.78m / 5'10".

After following an SS-ish path, I tried programs like TM and Madcow, which didn't work.
Then I got injured.
Now I've figured out some stuff about injuries, I want to understand the workings behind lifting and programming.
I only follow a program if I can come up with it.
That hasn't worked out the past 2 years.

I'll get it.
Eventually.

So my cold is finishing today. Volume session tomorrow yeah?

Nn lads. Have nice sleeps and lift well tomorrow

>>39224588
I've done some volume, didn't work.
I think probably because I didn't recover well.
So I'd often actually regress.

For example, march-april this year I did 92 sets of (front)squats for a weekly average of 15, and my squat went from 115 to 100, kek.

>>39224715
KEK
>fucks up 10 days out

>>39224752
You were probably just really fatigued and if you ran a peak at that point you probably would have PR'd.

Volume and food are all it takes to progress until you're way more advanced than I am.

Also are you saying your max squat is around 115 after 3 years of training? Blueshoes???

https://www.instagram.com/p/BMC8lTJBkHo/

Is this girl stronger than izlee?

>>39224802
I wasn't fatiqued at that point though, the last few weeks were low in volume and after that I took a week or so off.

Funnily enough my max squat was 120 after the first year of training.
Now, after about 4 years of training, I got 85kg as a 3RM.

Dunno what blueshoes is.

>>39224830
Y-you squat 85kg after 3 YEARS of training??? Pls be a girl

>>39224854
I don't know what's wrong with you

I'm not trying to be mean but if you've been training for 3 years and physically cannot push yourself harder than 85jg for 3 on the squat, you might want to go get your test levels checked out.

>>39224871
Oh, I did. 384.
Doc said it's within the normal range.

>>39224794
>>39224725
well I loaded my predicted 4rm on the bar and pulled it ezpz

Isn't that basically inflation

>>39224895
Are you doing progressive overload? Are you actually feeling like you're training hard? Or do all your workouts feel easy? You said you're eating, but are you sleeping? Are you sure you're getting enough protein? I don't see how your squat can go down from 120 to 85 for 3 in 3 years. If you're doing everything right try more volume. And if that fails, just start roiding

>>39224914
Yes, yes, no, yes, yes.
I've tried ~15 sets a week (on average), and that didn't work.
Maybe that was too much.

I'll try ~10 sets a week now.

Okay. If you're under recovering that's bad. I do 9 sets of squat per week plus some heavy singles and front squats once in a while. Quite taxing. 10 sets will likely be better. If you don't succeed with that, roid is all I can tell you

>>39224895
Last time I got mine checked, it was 385, and I squat 3pl8 after three years (though that's with two back injuries, a knee injury, and a shoulder injury, so it might not be comparable). It's probably not your test levels.
