>>39693460
The portion of the deadlift that occurs below the knees is the hardest, and the point most people fail. If I understand the theory correctly partial deadlifts allow you to move more weight over the course of the workout and be more efficient as you're not wasting energy on the other, easier, half of the pull.

But he programs for box deadlifts on the same day so you end up doing the second half of the exercise, but with more weight since you can pull more from boxes

How high are the deadlift from boxes (below knees) boxes supposed to be if I pull sumo? Same height?

Very possible for all lifters, especially the squat. Might take a little practice, but it's attainable. Bodorio did 405x20 iirc and he's clearly dealing with advanced loads.

>>39694910
You don't hit your current weights until week 4. What happened?

The deadlift
It feels like such a hut or miss thing, one week I can pull quite easily, the next I struggle with my last warm up set.

>>39695029
Ego and impatience happened and and I've changed the spreadsheet to match my squat and diddly pr in the second week, so my stupidity is probably the cause (even though I've pulled 5kg more than today for 5 reps before I started the program, I just didn't use it as my 5rm because /shitform/)

You seem to be in the wrong place, this is the thread for powerlifting aka squat/bench/deadlift.

But since I don't wanna be a bully, eat more and do more sets of OHP. Also move on to a slower program for the OHP.

It's a joke on equipped lifting and steroids.

>>39695876

>tfw aaron is going through a depression cut
>tfw not even in rainbows can save him now

>>39695885

It's mostly the added frequency (nice for the deadlift) and added volume.
Though the advanced medium load is completely different from the large load, and has a fuckton of variety and ancillary lifts (front squats, board presses, bench and deadlift with chains, paused lifts, .
Advanced large load feels like regular sheiko, but longer.

>>39695929
Could you link all those sheikos?

>>39695929
Low bar backsquats and front squats

During lowbar squats in chucks (no soles, no orthotics) I sometimes find myself almost falling backwards when im pushing through the heel. With front bar squats I try to go ATG but flat-footedness usually leaves you with poor ankle mobility so I can't really hit the depth I want to, also again i have a hard time balancing on my heels so i sometimes curve my upperbody forward at the bottom of the lift because I feel like i'm going to fall backwards

Maxed out my squat for the first time ever about 1.5 months ago and hit 335 easily, and then I did 345 a few minutes after which was extremely hard. I should have rested much more in between attempts. At that point I've been lifting for somewhere around 9 months, with my squat 5rm being roundabout 155-160 when I started training at the beginning of the year.

I did a small deload afterwards and then didn't lift for like 1 month and lost a lot of strength. I finally am back to pre-depression cut strength levels and am starting another Sheiko cycle very soon.

I've played on a lot of sports teams. So I'm not saying that powerlifting is all that hard.

But stepping on the platform under a heavy task bar for the first squat of the competition takes a lot of nerve.

Meanwhile a lot of the pussies around here keep on telling themselves that they'll compete when they're strong enough to compete when they're strong enough. And they never fucking do. Instead they just trash talk everybody else that competes to make themselves feel better.

Also your analogy sucks.

Depends. If you're still early-intermediate you can run prep1->1st week of comp or prep 2->1st week of comp, basically 1month cycles.

If not, just run the program as is. prep 1->prep 2->1st week of comp (if not competing) or full comp (if competing)

Then start it all over again!

GET YOURSELF SIGNED UP TO A MEET YOU LITTLE SHIT

>>39696236

I've played rec basketball, college rugby, and pro golf. In every sport, there has been something harder than the first attempt at a powerlifting meet.

In every sport, they were not overly concerned with the composition of my underwear (though rugby in general might be more anal about knee protection than the IPF), the logo on my shirt, or the brand of gear I was wearing.

Powerlifting a shit.

>>39696401

No shit Sherlock. That's why it's not a sport, it's a glorified Hobby. Kind of like golf.

>>39696401
>Powerlifting a shit.
the IPF a shit. powerlifting is fun. but let me explain the underwear rule. it's because if you wear something with a leg on it
(a) what's to say it's not like briefs or something that helps and more importantly
(b) underwear with a leg on it tend to get bunched up and makes it harder to see just where your hip crease is.

now with the logos thing, I 100% agree with you. with equipment, however, especially things like knee sleeves, wraps, bench shirts, suits, singlets, and anything where a different brand could be used and potentially assist in the lift more than other brands, I understand having approved and disapproved equipment.

also lad PL is a hobby, not a sport.

>>39696425

Partly due to the fact that opposition players' faces will often be in close, potentially violent contact with your knees, any knee braces can't have hard bits to them like the metal knee braces you might see in the NFL, where player's are more protected from that sort of thing with all of the helmets and pads.

One time, at an alumni game (a squad of large, strong, unconditioned former players played the current squad of tiny, goddamn fast players), the fucking idiot ref told one of the old boys that he couldn't were is IRB APPROVED knee brace (it was just elastic and some thin padding). Fucking idiots.

Though, they GENERALLY let you wear whatever brand of gear you want, provided it conforms to the objective allowed specifications (for instance, they don't care who made your scrum cap as long as it's not thicker than 10 mm). Because, unlike the IPF, they aren't low rent as fuck.

>>39696381
With orthotics i had some patellar tendonitis in my right knee and often found myself pushing through the balls of my feet instead of the heels. A thing that fucked with me a bit is that the orthotic is rigid but they had some wiggle room in the shoe.
They're also a bit old so I don't know how appropriate they are to the shape of my foot now (not to mention I don't think they were built to support my weight + the weight of a loaded barbell)

>>39696475

>with equipment, however, especially things like knee sleeves, wraps, bench shirts, suits, singlets, and anything where a different brand could be used and potentially assist in the lift more than other brands, I understand having approved and disapproved equipment.

This is not a problem for literally any other legitimate sport. They set the equipment specifications and allow whatever conforms to that.

The IPF's bullshit has nothing to do with making sure the equipment meets a standard, and everything to do with requiring bribes to get a brand's equipment allowed. Why else would they have nearly disallowed Ivanko equipment that was previously allowed, just because Ivanko didn't want to pay out the nose for that bullshit?

The downside is that it creates completely unnecessary hurdles to entry for prospective powerlifters. This keeps the IPF and the >sport in general as small potatoes. If these retards weren't SO FAR up their ass as to be turning inside out, they could be the One True Fed they already fancy themselves.

I'm assuming the people saying ipf competing is boring are the ones that have never actually done it.

>>39696496

I don't think I ever wore it for a match, but when I lightly sprained my knee in the first practice of a semester, I wore a brace for the next week or two. It kind of was a pain in the ass when trying to run.

They have to get money from 2 groups in order to pay for the organization. The lifters, and the companies that profit off of the existence of the sport.

>The downside is that it creates completely unnecessary hurdles to entry for prospective powerlifters
agree, at my first comp they almost didn't let me compete because I brought a shirt to wear under my singlet with a disapproved logo and I was like wtf and I had to get someone to bring me a different shirt. it's bullshit.

imo, the IPF is the best with on-platform rules and technical specifications (same bar for all 3 lifts, pausing head down bench, etc), but besides that, they're right at the bottom.

>>39696549

Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever seen anyone, pro or otherwise, do anything more than maybe tape a knee or wrist.

I once had my hand wrapped up to protect and injured thumb for a few week. Which made binding in at hooker a pain in the tits.

>>39696579

>imo, the IPF is the best with on-platform rules and technical specifications (same bar for all 3 lifts, pausing head down bench, etc), but besides that, they're right at the bottom.

Exactly. They are, largely without good reason, the No Fun League of powerlifting, and it turns people away. Which is a shame, because otherwise they're the closest thing to a reputable fed that powerlifting has.

Who the fuck really cares if music is played during a lift? God forbid someone actually enjoys themselves at these competitions. If they do, more people might join in, and that would just be awful.

ehh around here they are holding novice meets that are free except for the membership fee to the fed that they would have to pay anyway, dont have to hae any equipment and they help people through the day
then they can decide how they liked it and go from there

They turn the music down so the lifter can actually hear the commands.

>same bar for all 3 lifts,
A deadlift bar is arguably better.

Ignoring more cheeter weight, it doesn't limit grip limitations as much, and it's easier on the lifter in terms of not beating them up as bad.

>>39696673
So it's only for making it easier.

>>39696673
>it's easier on the lifter in terms of not beating them up as bad
Why? Just because it gives cheater weight?

>>39696737
The whip makes for a smoother pull, and controlling it down doesn't fuck your wrists as bad

>>39696741
How?

>>39696754
3 inches less range of motion makes for a much smoother lift in general.

>>39696741
>>39696791
Thats retarded

The whip gives the opposite of a smoother pull. Better to just pull from block if less ROM is "smoother"

Melatonin supposedly can help with your sleep, but in high dosages it can be bad for your heart. But do some research on it and see if it looks good for you or not.

There are... actual meds that you can take to get you asleep, if this continues to be an issue.

>>39696490

Well, my recommendations are:

- get heeled shoes
- don't wear the othortics
- push through the middle of your feet, not your heels. heels require you to bring your centre of gravity back, and you start feeling like you're gonna fall.

I'll link you a list of shoes in the next post.

To me it feels more like scary and weakening and anxious... but I guess I did romanticise it in a way it sounds coy.

>>39697811

Trappy is a chill person, though. She just doesn't let people walk over her or drawn her voice out with shouting.

But yes, it is a reflection of who I wish I was IRL. Maybe that's why I overdo it a bit sometimes.

You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt.

>>39697938
So you're admitting trappy is a made up character?

>>39697938

Fuck I want eggs. Do I make eggs? I might just might. I need. Yeh, eggs I need. It's 4AM tho.

The real introspective thread is made about the time when the sun turns and we're headed for brighter days, by the way.

DON'T TELL ME WHAT'S ENOUGH
>>>happiness only real when shared
verbatim, very similar to what you said. Fuck I love Into the Wild.
The only gripe I have with this is our innate egocentrism, which as far as I can tell hinders nirvana, if you will, as long as one seeks human relations. Seeking in itself will remove you from nirvana, won't it?
>If someone tells me to shut up I just quiet down and gaze my shoes.
Fucking stop. Fucking stand the fuck up for yourself. Don't let idiots do this to you.
>>39697815
(You)
>>39697785
Yeah, I mean, we all seek to belong, we need to belong somewhere. I just can't help but think that we, as conscious sentient beings, need to seek belonging in environments that are not related in any way to other sentient beings. What I mean by this is that, for example, communes of people arise when multiple persons """reach""" for example nirvana, but in communing I think you remove the people from the whole - the individualistic connection to the """"everything"""".

Trappy is very much real.

>>39697963

I like that thought. Thanks for sharing.

>>39698057

We're all just humans, in the end.
I think people are too fixated in the details that they forget the big picture: we're just an ant farm waiting for the aliens overlords to wipe us out.

>>39698050
A) its really expensive
B) I'm doing too many classes to focus on training for a competitive sport
C) I suck at it
D) I dont enjoy the programming

>>39698084

You don't feel very real. Lying to us about your face for so long was just malicious :(

>>39698095
>You have no honor, fAm.

Just because you're drunk doesn't mean your words can't hurt me. :(

>>39698060
>Into the Wild.

Dude, Krakauer is one of my favorite authors of all time. He made me want to climb mountains singlehandedly even though my introduction to him was via Into Thin Air.

I guess we kind of agree in a way, I don't think seeking ever turns out very productive. But belonging is certainly important.

I don't think egocentricism is necessarily bad though.

And I'm not too familiar with nirvana either desu. I'm more of a, "I think being content in this moment, and I'd hope to continue whatever is leading to this contentment in the next moment kind of guy."

My philosophy professor said he thought I was a optimistic hedonist of sorts.

Hedonism is for degenerates

>>39698138
being weak like you is for degenerates lol

Unironically feeling too sick to eat anything. First time in like a decade or something.

I think I have to go to bed. It's 4:30 after all.

>>39698121
Well when your philosophy professor can't quite classify you, I guess you're onto something.
Fuck I haven't read the Krakauer books. Chris' sister's book seems interesting as well
>I will never get around to them

I like your kind of guy-thingy.

>>39698243
Excellent choice, but what would you mix it with? First, third, or fourth from the left?
Think I have to skip the drink, tho.

I'm not very familiar with it. I understand it as a concept but I don't really know much about it.

>Fucking stand the fuck up for yourself

I've been trying to answer this for so long.
I want to answer with "it's not that easy" but the truth is I don't even know. I never felt like trying.

>Don't let idiots do this to you.

They're not all idiots. Sometimes they're good people who are just having a bad day. Or a bad week. Others also feel pain.

smiley winky man is such a fucking fag holy shit
