stop browsing /pol/ senpai
>>40049348
I imagine because the girl on the right is super thicc and qt
also
When power cleaning, it seems like I'm having some issues shrugging/using my legs to pull the weight up rather than muscling it up with my arms. Anybody have any tips?
>>40049229
>>40049348
idk but it doesn't seem to have much to do with powerlifting or /plg/
...
t-this is t-totally not me f-feeling jealous of them tho hahahaha t-that's silly right
>>40049378
This is one case where going heavier can tend to fix technical issues - if you can't upright row it, its either going up on based on the second pull or it isn't going up.
>>40049348
Cause that girl THICC and she isn't even a lordotic roastie
>>40049431
>isn't even a lordotic roastie
Are you blind or something? That's some major pelvic tilt and lordosis
>>40049229

Also too light to critique
Looks like you have the right idea

Question because you guys squat a lot
What kinds of jeans are available to me once I get big, meaty quads? I wear 511s right now but I worry there are no jeans for people with huge quads
>>40049372
well first, how would you know it was on /pol/ unless YOU were browsing /pol/?
Second, I saw it on another board. Possibly /r9k/ but not sure now, it's been a busy day of 4channing I've gone on a lot of boards I don't usually visit
>>40049487
Luckys.
Otherwise size for thighs. I have 32" hips but legs call for 34" or more
>>40049481
cookin up dope in the crock pot
>>40049487
541s are the best I've tried, but I still have to go up in the waist.
>>40049487
541s
>>40049518
yeah
sometimes its nice though like i just bought some shorts and they should fit pretty tight
show off the thicc look
Questions
If I'm from Maryland can I compete in a nearby state? And if I set a state record while competing in another state, would it be a Maryland record or would it be a record for that state?
Also if I register on my USAPL membership as both Teen and Open, do I automatically compete in both?
Sorry for being retarded but this is just a bit confusing for me.
Oh also - if a meet says that it's an "Open" but doesn't specify whether it's raw or equipped, can I go in there and compete raw? Thanks

Help me out /plg/
I'm a 5ft11/6ft.
I've just recently began to take powerlifting more seriously after 3 years of half squatting and power cleaning for HS football training.
I find that high bar squats feel better even though i have long legs/arms, which means hitting depth is hard (i lift barefoot/with chucks usually)
I wanna get a WL shoes for squats but im not sure whether i should get the 'standard' heel height shoes (3/4 in) like adipowers/romaleos or buy the 'taller' heel height shoes like leistung/risto etc etc.
How can i find out what heel height is the best for me?
I know no one that has used shoes i can try on/experiment with so
>>40049178
i'm gonna masturbate to this picture
Telling people to kill theyselves lads
>>40049657
That's what Chad would do
REEEEE
>>40049631
If you're serious about powerlifting you're going to want to switch to lowbar, there's less of a depth requirement (doing anything beyond what's needed for the competition doesn't really do anything for you) and you can lift more weight as a result
Shoes don't matter as much for lowbar but you'll probably do fine with adipowers/romaleos, heel height won't be an issue for 90% of people
>>40049662
Kys toad
Lmao
>>40049668
:'(
>>40049380
Recovery is going good, I am benching again, focusing very hard on good form, bar path, elbow position, and controlled descent.
Weirdest thing is shoulder stretches don't cause pain/strange sensation, shoulder warmup exercises don't cause pain/strange sensations, but on my warmup sets on bench i can fell something, not pain, but something. Then once I get up over 80kg warmups the sensation disappears completely. So I'm at a loss as to what's going on. My body hasn't weirded me out this much since puberty.
>>40049178
gonna need the name of girl on the right
>>40049178

THANKS BASTARDS, YA MADE ME WHAT I AM!
>>40049770
what a shitty song did you make this in your garage or is this something from mu and its supposed to sound like that
>>40049378
I've never understood this problem, but I see so many people doing cleans using only their arms and they look so stupid. Best way to fix it is to either go heavy and learn that you have to use your traps and engage your legs OR practice your form with a small amount of weight by picking up the bar and going straight into a shrug. I am prolly not explaining it well tho.
Like you pick up the weight like a sorta dead lift but then shrug and lean back with the bar immediately.
You could also try really heavy pulls - drop the weight before the catch. I doubt you could do pulls using only arms.
>>40046356
but the cues in the video are still good right? i should aim to have my shoulders like that?
>>40049783
Shut the fuck up its mischief brew
You're probably a normie
>>40049824

>>40049915
Yes Und, do ahead and do that
Does Fil do any cardio? He's like my ideal physique
>>40049796
Yeah I'm not sure, it seems like sometimes I can get good cleans and then sometimes it just feels like I'm pulling it up. I seem to have some trouble getting on the back of my feet for the shrug part
>>40049631
I have adipowers they're pretty tight, no complaints.
Also you're gonna need to switch to low bar. It helps even more if you have long limbs because it lowers your center of gravity and puts weight in your hips instead of your knees.
>>40049657
He has his toes point very straight here
>>40049641
Like anybody give a shit.

I like! Hahahah.
>>40048655
>>40049380
So you simply consider keeping the penis a lesser trouble compared to SRS. But the passion for dick isn't there :(.
I don't think you're a "trap" – you're a classic transsexual with a milder-grade gender dysphoria. Unlike those transwomen, "traps" celebrate their penises. Hence my initial presumptions about you.
I wish you good luck following your path, even though it's divergent from mine. And I stand by my judgement that you are pretty.
>>40049915
>tranny just started lifting weights at my gym
Lucky you.
>>40050225
Not really. Honestly looks more like a transvestite than a transexual. Imagine a skinny fat guy with long hair and noodley arms wearing tights.
>>40050203
>>40050244
delete this before Lith reads it
>>40050203
>But the passion for dick isn't there
I'm pretty happy with my benis and I love dick. So idk what you mean.
>I don't think you're a "trap" – you're a classic transsexual
Yeah in strict terms. But people just used to call me trappy and I kinda liked the name, it was kinda cute, so I just stuck with it.
>Unlike those transwomen, "traps" celebrate their penises
Not all transgirls hate their benis.
>I stand by my judgement that you are pretty.
y-you too
>tfw no powerlifting gf
>>40050262

>>40050274
Got my gf into pl, but she's wildly inconsistent I going to the gym because sometimes she'll have month long periods.
Before anyone asks she does anal and I get plenty of head.
>>40050266
>y-you too
Thank you ;).
>>40050248
>autism
I feel flattered.
>>40050288
Does she have that thicc look they get? I love the way female powerlifters look.
>>40049879
>>40049894
it's my fav
>>40049229
It's hard to tell since you're using a weight that isn't remotely difficult for you, but it looks like your weight might be too far on your toes when you set up, POSSIBLY because you have the bar behind your mid foot by a slight amount. The bar is moving forward very slightly at the top of the lift because of that.
>>40049863
jesus you listen to some queer shit
at least post something good that is /fit/ workout material like Shellac
>>40050306
Eh, she dresses comfy-core like all the time so it's hard to notice but she has 32 DD, 25" waist, and her ass/thighs got so juicy from squats that in order to wear skinny jeans the waist has to be 29"

>>40050406
Girl in OP looks like boring and shallow stacy roastie, trappy looks like she has an actual personality and is fun and interesting
And trappy is, both hot and cute at the same time, can't compete with that
>>40050418
Trappe is unstable as fuck
>>40050418
I am a big trappy-stan but I have to say she looks basic in that pic
>>40050418
oh dear
>>40050438
trappy IS basic. haven't you seen her photos? she has a couple of simple dresses, some t-shirts, a couple of jeans pants... and three pairs of shoes at most?
>>40050449
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Basic
She looks like a generic slut in that picture: bleach blonde hair, cat ears, short jean shorts, random bracelet, which I guess is the look she's going for. All she needs to add is a crop top
>>40050274

Trappy looked better with the brown hair.
And would probably look even better without the penis

Well if she wanted to look like a whore it worked.
>>40050479
>That deadlift song
Oh god, pro wrestling is SO DUMB, but that song is SO HYPE
I'm torn.
>>40050516
>pro wrestling is SO DUMB
t. never been to a live show
>>40050505
You're right. An assault charge could mean losing my guns. Fighting over disagreements is juvenile, and the risk for the punchee pressing charges is too high. Just not worth losing my rights over some obsessed little beta
Know what I mean?
>>40050488
I would allow this as a substitute song for standing presses.
>>40050522
Thought so.
>>40050533
Also, don't want to fly to Toronto unless I'm connecting to a flight to kick it with my boy Lotus
>>40050500
That's the point, trappy is a simple girl not a /cgl/ crazy roastie who wants to look retarded among regular people
>>40050513
If you have Spotify Jeff Mangum has a solo album that's nice and lofi- "live at jittery joe's"
Ramshackle glory and mischief brew are some nice folk punk bands, the albums People Who Can Eat People and Knife man are similar to this song- both by AJJ. This song is off People
Hmm... Rogue Taxidermy is a fucking amazing album by Days n Daze, it's thrash folk punk
The song Oh, Susquehanna by Defiance, Ohio is dope as shit too
>>40050542
if trappy was mirin u irl would u post a greentext about it here
>>40050542
Im not Sean.
I live in Finland.
Never call me Sean ever again
>>40050562
>Finland
So you're a self- admitted drunk
At least you're not in denial about it
>>40050556
Trappy mires me and this is real life, what would I have to greentext?
>>40050542
Me and Lotus have met each other with the wrong foot forward, to put it lightly.
He even told me to eat shit and die lol
I kinda wish he hadn't taken a small thing to the personal level, he's a cool guy.
Wish I had the opportunity to "re-meet" him so we could talk it out and laugh about what happened and be cool with each other.
... And Bryce... lol
>>40050522
That's why you go to a small island in the middle of a river that's used to separate jurisdictions. That way, there's a legal question to which jurisdiction applies and you can usually get off without a trial.
Do you even duel?
>>40050574
like if u were dadlifting and she was sitting on a machine behind u not so stealthily taking creepshots, salivating with her mouth open
>>40050591
Bruce and Lotus are both friends. Must have been a bad pretense. Neither of them have reason to dislike you. Hell, even i was
Le tsundere
Towards you at first. Tbh the name rubbed me the wrong way because of how announce-ey it is. I know it was given to you but I'm just thinking aloud here
>>40050608
No I live in the real world where people without major social inhibitions can talk to me about their emotions without feeling like they need to elevate it to physicality
>>40050616
That's like
Every day that I wear my asshole shorts
I just cut out where my brown eye can peer out
How do I become a normie like you boardsports
>>40050591

>>40050623
Start telling the truth in order to get honest responses
>>40049178
SAUCE
>>40050620
No no, Lotus actually got angry at me because we argued over something stupid.
He was saying that powerlifting sacrifices functions of the body and weird stuff like that as anonymous, and I being the bitch I am went on to argue with the anonymous shitposter... then in the middle of it he turns his trip on I guess to intimidate me or something.
Then I kinda proved him wrong and he told me to eat shit and die and said something about idk
idk
He took it really personally even though I tried to chill him down.
And Bryce... people like me aren't well viewed in his political ideology, to put it politely. There were some ugly threads back when you weren't around.
To be honest, you missed nothing but trash and chaos. The shitposting was beyond Sean vs Dino on Esme.
/plg/ is only now starting to calm down. Emphasis on >starting
I kinda missed having you around though. Everyone except Isley have left /plg/, and well, Norsie who shows up once in a blue moon...
Even Sean pretty much left /plg/, believe it or not. The people who haven't left to facebook groups left to discord chats.
>>40050620
>No I live in the real world
He said on 4Chan
>>40050623
b urself
>>40050668
It's just not the plg we grew up knowing. That's all. Holding on to the past is pathetic.
>political ideology
I'm probably the most conservative tripfag here (unironically pro trump) and transsexuals aren't within my scope of fucks to give. Not sure where Bryce would get hung up. That said, aussies are wild kents and it's hard to know what they're really on about.
>>40050685

>>40050668
>/plg/ is only now starting to calm down. Emphasis on >starting
Minimal trappy-drama due to minimal trappy-posting-pedobait-or-live-journaling these past few days has had positive results.
I mean, there was that detour about benises in the last thread, and a sidebar about what makes a basic bitch in this thread. But that sort of thing is going to be unavoidable.

hows this even powerlifting and whh does she need 3 spotters when almost every guy in a powerlifting setting can squat that easily
got oly shoes yesterday after years of squatting barefoot or socks
i think the squat just became my favorite exercise, after hating it for so long. never thought it could feel so good squatting.
why waste time on mobility when you can just spend $60 to fix it
>>40050266
a whole post dedicated to benis, fucking kys gimme 20
>>40050691
Yeah, I guess. I still talk to pretty much everyone that left on discord, so it's not that I'm missing them...
I guess it's just that I got used to /plg/ having this huge group of friends... But you're right, I shouldn't live on nostalgia.
And... Well, better to nevermind the whole Bryce situation, really.
When it comes to powerlifting, though, it has gotten pretty interesting. I'm helping a few /plg/ guys prepare for upcoming competitions closely. It's been quite challenging, specially having to deal with so many issues with pain and injuries, but things have been improving and going pretty well now. And technique changes have been major, to the point where they were actually shocked at how much of a difference some things make.
Which makes me happy, seems like I'm doing an okay job so far :')

Don't check her instagram, dont do it.
Just live in the world where she is what you think she is.
I did 8x3 deadlifts today.
Earlier I did more volume and intensity.
Squats are still the worst.
Why are squats so hard?
>>40051405
Aly Raisman is THICCer, hotter, and generally comes off less like a twat.
tfw kicked out of gym for dropping weights after snatching because old people complain that it's intimidating
>>40051577
What gym has bumper plates and and a Don't Drop The Bumper Plates rule?
Also, there is no earthly way the weight you were lifting intimidated even old women
>>40051577
Caladan more like roidadan NO RESPECT FOR THE GYM NO RESPECT FOR THE BARBELL NO RESPECT FOR THE WEIGHTS OR OLD PEOPLE ONLY ROID RAGE???? when will IT STOP!

>>40051584
I was warming up, snatched 50 for a few reps
the irritating thing was that it was cleared beforehand by the gym manager, but he changed his mind I guess. Told me that if I'm strong enough to put a weight over my head, I'm strong enough to put it down gently lel
>>40051405
it looks like her head caved in at the ear, wtf
>>40051607
at 50 you should just be catching it back in a hang desu
>>40051615
yeah but there was nobody else there except some old cunt like 30m away in the corner so I just thought yolo
>>40051600
God damn it, I'm 27 and I already do that. MMOs these days fucking suck. FFXI was what an MMO was supposed to be.
The NFL has been ruined by creampuffs and bureaucrats trying to control the outcome of games. If they GENUINELY wanted to make it safer, require that people tackling ball carriers or potential ball carriers (receivers making a play on the ball and such) attempt to wrap up, instead of shoulder charging. Rugby does that, and they don't need the goddamn pads to survive. And stop fucking penalizing hitting the QB in the head. He's holding the fucking ball by his ear, and he wears the fucking helmet for a reason.
The NBA was indisputably better in the 90s, and LeBron is a poncing, diving, cookiepuss faggot. I miss the NBA of Ye Olden Times that would give that bitchmade faggot something to cry about.
And I still don't complain about people dropping weights. Unless it's one of those faggots that just let's go of a deadlift at the top. Fuck those people. Or the sort of twat that successfully completes a squat and just drops the bar off his back because walking it back to the rack is too much work.
Really, fuck everyone. Shit was better when I was 12. Pokemon was still cool.
>>40051627
i feel you, but i feel like its a bad habit, i used to do it and the bar would bounce all over the place
>>40051607
I mean, I probably COULD put 115 lbs down gently (I usually started dropping snatches once I warmed up to LMAO1PLAYT). But did you try explaining to him that you were holding the bar with three goddamn fingers?
>>40051645
Light warm ups are one thing, but you can't put genuinely heavy snatches and cleans down gently without great risk to your shoulders, back, and even knees. What you are SUPPOSED to do is let go of the bar, but follow it down with your hands so that you can help it land "square" (both sides at the same time as best you can), and control the rebound.
Though with GOOD bumper plates, there isn't a lot of bounce. Decent cheap plates will bounce a bit. Those black rubber CrossFit plates, I swear, are made out of the same shit they use to make superballs. They bounce so fucking much they almost become a perpetual motion device.
Whats up with powerlifters who make pig noises before a set?
Whats wrong with you?
>>40051671
kek, my gym has eleiko plates and they'd bounce all over the place during my warm up sets.
I was just making the point that you don't need to be dropping the weight for your light stuff.

I explained that me and Lotus got into an argument about lifting. There was no bigotry involved. He just got angry cause I disproved the dumb stuff he was saying (powerlifting sacrifices basic functions of your body thus is unhealthy, lowbar squats are unathletic and so different from highbar squats that they work muscles in a major different way, that sort of stuff) with studies and sources. So he got mad instead of just accepting he was being a dummy with those memes.
Bryce literally got together with a trip named "white straight male 400+ wilks" or something like that to complain that I exist and am "le mentally ill".
When I argued with Lotus I told him not to take it personally and relax.
When Bryce was shitposting I responded to someone saying I still respect and like Bryce as an athlete.
But sure, I guess they are both very level-headed and I'm literally internet-hitler.

Seriously trappy, I never quite get what you are trying to achieve posting edgy shit like this.
The fact that most people have muscular imbalances doesnt mean that a lifter shouldnt strive to keep imbalances as small as possible.
I can deadlift 400kg but can only bench press 70kg.
*le sad fat man face*
>>40052688
i can bench 60kg and deadlift 115kg

Can I just do 3x8 bench (or a variation like chip or incline) on Wednesday instead of the 90% of VD for 2x5 on TM?

what is healthy?
if a food gives you all the macros, micros and all the shit that you need, but contains something that may increase risk of heart disease
is it unhealthy or healthy
if a food gives you 1/3 macros you need, barely any micros, but contains nothing that contributes to any long term diseases etc
is it unhealthy or healthy

Source?
This is why respected lifters here hate you (behind your back because muh liberalism).
All these newbie faggots who can't get into proper deadlift position and take the slack out could be helped by barbell rows, "but muh trappy said".
Pulling is a vital athletic plane of movement. Source: all exercise literature.
Do you guys use the thumb loop on wrist wraps when putting them on?
>>40052805

>>40052820
Yes
>>40052823
That's quite literally the entire purpose of adressing imbalnces : to avoid injury and inefficiency.
Now we went in a full circle, realized that calling "Imbalance" a buzzword is meaningless and we should still do our rows.
Good job.
>>40052795
You can do a variation that makes you handle less weight (like incline). If you want a guideline, go for volume similar to 2x5 of 90% VD, but it's a shitty guideline.
>>40052855
>>40052816
You're mistaking "doing rows/pullups" with "worrying that your rows aren't 'balanced' with your bench numbers".
Do your back work.
But who the hell cares if your rows aren't x% of your bench or whatever.
>>40052795
Yes
To be honest, nowadays I'm of the opinion that bench should be volume on both days in order to progress nicely.
Pic related is an example.
>>40049229
you're doing the lift entirely with your back, use your legs more to push off the ground in order for the lift to be faster and more efficient.
This will also help with much heavier weight.
>>40052885
Simply just "doing" things is simply not how you go about powerlifting-training, it's very simple.
You always strive to reach certain strength goals, even with accesorie work such as barbell rows.
Nearing them to a certain % of bench is simply a guidance that you could use as theoretical goal.
If you row significantly less than you bench, then your backwork seems to be off and needs improvement and some thought.
That's literally all there is to it.

>>40052978
If you say so, mr. Know-it-all I'm-never-wrong.
>>40052232
I doubt it matters provided you do your heavy deadlifts and rows. Chinups far as I know don't cut it for weird anatomical reasons. Also many people (gnuckols and some other dude) seem to think that curls help with bench, so maybe we can extend that to rows help with bench.
>>40052885
6x2 70% paused bench is not volume.

SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Only a few here are "elite". That doesn't apply to most of the board.

>6x2 70% paused bench is not volume.
Well, it's a lot more than what the regular light work in TM is. Call it light-volume or whatever if you prefer, idk.
The point is just that people have issues increasing their bench on TM because they do 5x5 on monday and like 2-3 sets at most of light benching on wednesday and that's it for volume.
That's really not enough for anyone who has been out of SS for a couple of weeks.
>>40053112
Whether you pull sumo/conventional applies entirely to your proportions and leverages. Smaller guys are split fairly evenly, bigger guys tend to pull conventional and girls tend to pull sumo, but these are guidelines not rules.
As for lowbar squats, you have better leverages and as a result can move more weight with a lowbar squat than a highbar squat. No significant difference in muscle activation.
Why do titan wrist wraps have the loop on the exact same side, shouldn't it be different for left and right
wtf is this
uhhhh so
I'm not really a powerlifter, but I do train for strength
I've been doing SS for a few months, and I'm starting to stall; I was thinking of picking up one of the simpler programs in >>40049354.
However, I won't be competing, and I'm also a massive autist, meaning I can't ask people for spots, so heavy bench pressing is out of the question. Can I still do one of those programs, but not doing heavy singles/doubles on bench?
>>40051409
link pls
>>40053179
You should do a few months of Starting Social Skills first senpai.
>>40053179
You don't do heavy singles/double on Sheiko at all.
If you're not competing, do only the first week of the comp cycle (where you test for new maxes), instead of doing the whole thing (do the prep cycles first obviously).
Keep in mind Sheiko is specifically a program for Powerlifting, not general strength.
>>40053203
I've done 23 years now
can't progress at all ;_;
>>40053215
>where you test for new maxes
That's what I meant. It won't be a problem for deadlifts and squatting in a rack, but I'm not really keen on the idea of benching 95/100/105% of my max, seems like a nasty way to kill yourself if you do fail a rep.
>Keep in mind Sheiko is specifically a program for Powerlifting, not general strength.
Oh
/qtddtot/ said I should do Sheiko, that's why I asked in the first place.
>>40053179
Dont do sheiko
Go for texas method or some other weekly progression program
>>40053215
Is there any point in modifiying Sheiko to be more for general strength?
I really, really like the style of training (never failing a lift except occasionally on skill tests) but i've heard time and time again it's not so great for general strength.
I really like the style but don't plan on competing ever, but this general is the only good place to ask for strength-related advice, plz don't hate me.
Maybe adding a fourth day to fit in more general work? Maybe upping the frequency of accessories so they always get hit 2x per week? Doing more chins, rows, curls, tris, lat raises, maybe even OHP on that fourth day?
This would require a rearrangement of everything except the main lifts, but it should be doable if you know what you're doing.

And literally just fucking ask someone. Just do it. Ask someone who looks weaker than you if that makes you feel better, but go ahead and burst that bubble because you're gonna need a spot at some point if you keep training seriously.

Well continue to do it. If it's not gonna get any easier then you're just gonna have to resign yourself to that fact because you're gonna need spots sometimes.
And if you're just training for general strength move on to something simple as a next step.
Madcow/Bill Starr or as stated before, Texas Method.

What's more optimal for doing deadlifts from a deficit, 2.15" or 2.5"?
>>40053321
6x2 is a LOT more volume than 2x5.
Don't believe me? Do both and see for yourself.
>>40053284
Check this album http://imgur.com/a/l54a1
Some of the pics explain the details.
>>40053277
I mean, yeah theoretically you can do that.
But Sheiko's style of training doesn't go well when you're not exclusively focusing on the big 3 because it expects you to do a fuckton of volume with every major lift.
But if you just want to do those extra things as accessories and not care about progressing with them, then yeah it shouldn't be too much of a hassle to add in on a fourth day.
But it's easier to just do a program made for actual general strength.
>>40053390
Oh wait you were talking about 70% of 2RM not of 1RM
>>40053277
I use the philosophy behind sheiko (hitting your important lifts 3* a week) for my selected lifts, and it's working great.
If you have the work capacity to pull it off, definitely do a modified sheiko. And that's not to say that not having the work capacity is a concrete thing. If you just jump into it you might have to reduce the weight of your working sets 5-10lbs.
>>40053277
No, unless you really know what you're doing.
Every exercise and variation carries its own coefficient of stress. 5RM of OHP or Incline is less stress than 5RM of bench, for instance. You need to be able to factor all that in.
So for instnce if you just replace benching with OHP or push press you will not get far.
>>40053055
>If you say so, mr. Know-it-all I'm-never-wrong.
This is legitimately and not ironically projection.
You are objectively incorrect often. You never admit fault when you are incorrect, and if you do admit it, it is backhandedly and days later.
You would be much less abrasive if you approached powerlifting and other subjects that you know very little about more open-mindedly and if you listened to the opinions of the community around you who actually does the sport that you claim to coach.
Also please do not make analogies regarding other sports that you know nothing about. You have absolutely no experience with training sprinters. I can tell you however, that you will rarely find a great sprinter with a shitty bench press.

I guess the volume could become a problem doing any of the medium or large load programs, but the beginner and intermediate small doesn't have outrageous volume.

But how is Sheiko such a big difference compared to say TM which is not a PL routine by default?
They both heavily focus on the big 3 (well 4). It's just a different way of progressing and training. Is it really that big of a difference?
>>40054033
According to this, what do you do on intensity day when you fail on Light/Easy & Moderate/Medium? Just repeat them? It only tells you to change rep scheme if volume days are super hard.
>>40054076
TM is made for someone coming from SS, sheiko is for advanced powerlifters.
>>40054089
If you're not progressing on ID and VD isn't hard, increase the sets on VD.
>>40054089
Repeat the week, increase volume on VD, either through sets or weight.
>>40054106
Yes, it says that in the image, so I just assume ID stays the same for next week even if you failed?
>>40054117
If you increase the sets on VD enough you should progress on ID, so no need to change it.
But you can change it if you want, it's not a big deal.
>>40054116
>increase volume on VD, either through sets or weight
>weight
Don't do this.
Actually, do the complete opposite of this. Increase sets and lower weights.
>>40054076
You need to read practical programming, or any exercise science book to get even the most rudimentary grasp on this very simple sport.
Texas Method has much higher intensity, lower volume comma and quicker progression. It is programmed for an athlete that can put weight on the bar every week.
Memeko is meant for lifters specifically training for a powerlifting meet. It is fairly low intensity meaning that most lifts are performed under 80% of your 1 rep max. The volume is incredibly high , as are the number of lifts. The programming is only meant to be run for meet preparation, not year round. You only add weight to the bar every month to 3 months. I would not recommend this programming if you have less than 350 Wilks.
>>40054138
>Don't do what Lascek, Rippetoe, and Pendlay prescribe
'ok'
>>40054145
>I would not recommend this programming if you have less than 350 Wilks
>The programming is only meant to be run for meet preparation, not year round.
One day these memes will die.
I'm sure of it.
>>40054145
But what if you're not competing and add weight after 1 prep cycle, i.e. monthly?
it'd be similar to 531 in that sense, and there's 531 variations for beginners too
>>40054166
They tell you to keep the weight close to 80% rather than 90% and to deload it in order to avoid too high of intensity on VD.
Good job name-dropping though.
>>40054145
i did sheiko beginner prep 1 only and then tested new maxes
i got +15kg deadlift
+10 bench
+10 squat
i'm doing it a second time now, i'll be interesting to see if my maxes were too low the first time or if you really can progress at this rate
>>40054171
>>40054191
There's a trend here.
People are being convinced about doing Sheiko even under 300 wilks.
People are being convinced about doing Sheiko even without competition.
People are making great progress.
Other people are mad and telling new people to avoid that.
>>40054188
Doesn't mean you shouldn't increase weight ever. If VD feels light/easy then they're probably using less than 80%
>>40054145
>quicker progression
majority of SS has progression of 2.5 lbs for upper and 5 lbs progression for lower (only first 2--4 weeks has quicker progression)
this equals 15 lbs a month for bench
this equals 60 lbs a month for squat
this equals 20 lbs a month for deadlift
both the bench and deadlift jumps are definately doable with a single sheiko prep cycle if you're beginner/intermediate
only thing is the squats, even half of that is probably unrealistic monthly progression
but the biggest benefit of sheiko is the technique part, and the psychological "safety" of never having to worry about missing a rep. people doing SS and TM tend to have mediocre form (just something i've noticed on reddit and /fit/ form checks) because of the aggressive progression
>>40054237
Yes you are wrong but not wrong in this specific scenario you just made up that's unlikely to ever happen.

>>40054294
You gave the wrong answer that is only semi correct in this specific case that's not gonna happen and is already addressed by the rest of the guide when it says to keep it over 80% and under 90%.
