>tfw had to take a shit during my sheiko workout
Was trying to finish bench press but I just had to go. At least I work out at home. Does this happen to anyone else all the time?
>>40246293
probably just your caffeine kicking in.
>>40246359
Yeah it just sucks since it interrupts my flow. I always feel much better afterwards though
>>40246423
>>40246473
Cool, but you won't be lacking. 6 minutes of sun exposure will yield 1000 IU, baring the winter, in which case Milk, and oily fish should do the trick.
>>40246194
What's good viking dude
>>40246537
going to quebec in march, friend. also i might host a comp in chilliwack in december. I'll be meet director. Wanna come out for that :^)
also does your sister have an instagram? I think i follow her. she's hot.
>>40246526
You're missing the point. I'm just using Anon's stupid mentality against himself so that he fucks off.
And btw, 6min of sun exposure isn't exactly correct. There are a lot of "if"s there - for instance, you can't shower within an hour or two. Also, it depends on a lot of factors (see how the numbers change when you change a few things here: https://fastrt.nilu.no/VitD-ez_quartMED.html)
But I'm from the side that doesn't believe most people need to supplement vitamin D. I actually agree that 400-600 is enough for regular people and 800-1000 is fine for athletes.
>>40246548
Say hello to Quebec. Eat lots of good food. Chilliwack is forever away from me, lad. I'm planning on hitting up Provincials in 2018 tho.
I won't rule it out, might be off the island by that time; we'll see.
>>40246617
Yeah, I get you, but don't go sayin shit like this:
>>40246233
He's being an idiot, I get it, but no need to hyperbolize.
>>40246644
But what I said there isn't wrong.
It's all a matter of perspective.
If you ask me if I agree with what I said, I'll say no. But if you ask a russian olympic coach, he might just say yes.
>>40246548
>going to quebec
Enjoy being spat and pissed on lmao. Quebecois are some of the most insufferable people to be around. Bunch of entitled French shits
17th for sheiko is a meme routine for wankers

>>40246790
gtfo here anon from WhatCulture
>Tfw I will never be a car collecting farmer/actor
>>40246040
I did sheiko before it was cool
I wanna move from Sheiko beginner to int medium load, how do I run a deload inbetween?
>>40247001
prep 1 of int med load starts lighter and slowly increases intensity over time.
You don't really need a deload unless you want one.
>>40246956
Don't let your dreams be memes.
nn ladsnlasses
>>40247008
Was planning on only running prep 1 then first week of comp, I'd really like one because I've ran beginner twice back to back now.
>>40247001
do the full comp cycle
>>40247024
Then you can do week two and three of the comp cycle. Should be plenty of rest.
>>40247025
>>40247034
Coming off beginner then?
Might skip it if that's the case Tbh
>>40247024
>>40247034
do the full comp cycle
Jesus look at the volume at the end its so boring
>>40247048
>not testing potential pr's
>not frothing at the mouth after you got anally raped by a russian man via google sheets to test them so you can make it harder
youre not ready for sheiko int load
>>40247059
But I'm testing PRs on the skills test
>>40247072
oh, right.
What I meant was, its very light towards the end
>>40247087
Yeah, for sure, I just don't want to spend an additional three weeks before moving on.
Guess I'll just start it up after and see how I feel.
>>40247094
do you understand those three weeks would be a deload
sheiko says do the program to the end and then you will be able to do another
>>40246965
It's never been cool except on the Internet
>>40247130
I do understand, I just don't know if it's necessary. I'm not that strong.
>>40246657
You're the squirmiest weasle I've ever seen on this site.
Have you ever outright admitted you were wrong without some sort of way to save face?
>>40247191
Naw, that would mean that everything else he said was wrong too. This dude taught weasels how to weasel.
>>40247191
Yes.
In fact, I do so almost everyday here in /plg/.
I admit I'm wrong without people even pointing out that I'm wrong.
To me, admitting a mistake is accepting new knowledge. And only sucking a dick is more satisfying than learning something new. :)
>>40247224
No, we're talking about when you get called out on your obvious bullshit. Fucking weasel. You ain't sheiko bro.
>>40247242
Yes, if I'm saying something that's wrong and someone points out, I have no fear in apologising for my mistake.
In fact, I think it's the mature thing to do, and it makes me feel good.
Not to be confused, however, with situations in which I'm not wrong. I don't think anyone should apologise for not being wrong, and instead should explain and try to pass on the knowledge if the other person is willing, by using logic, staying away from fallacies, and providing sources as necessary.
>>40247283
This has never happened though. I've only ever seen you correct your own mistakes because the only one who can is yourself.
No ego.
>>40247283
So... you and the guy who's been lifting for close to a decade - Lotus - get along then?
>>40247316
>this has never happened though
It has, though. You can use the archive and search for key words or sentences, using my username and tripcode as filter.
Here's a quick example, in pic related. The part on adductors that's patched over was a correction by an anon.
Though with the knowledge I have now, I'd rewrite that entire portion. It really doesn't tell even half the story. But that's besides the point for now...
>>40247324
Sure, I think Lotus is a pretty cool dude.
>>40247338
That's a lot of writing for somebody who doesn't deadlift or coach deadlifting.
Making little to no progress while cuttins is a-ok because i wasnt making any progress while bulking either
ha ha ha
"IPF rules, hardest rules. Can't lift head, can't lift hips, full feet on the floor. Choose these rules, because there are a lot of different styles of benching, but if you train with the hardest style, every other style is going to be much easier for you.
Don't look for easy ways, look for hard ways. And the hardest way to bench press in powerlifting is the IPF rules."
- Mikhail Koklyaev, teaching how to bench press on a seminar
>>40247567
and niggas like weasley and the japs are still trying to cheat
wew
>>40247575
>implying that's not the most technically difficult way to bench
>>40247575
That's how rules work. If the competition is to bench as much as possible within the rules, people are going to take whatever legal advantage they can use.
Doesn't matter what the sport is.
No one ever answered me which is too bad. Does your gym have a successful powerlifter? If yes how often do you see them.
I have a soccer player at my gym and he lifts about 10 sessions per week.
>>40247660
Current one? No.
Former one? Probably two or three national level competitors. Plus about three more national-level Strongman competitors.
Reminder
>>40247586
How would you know?
>>40247660
haven't been to a gym with a competitive powerlifter in a while, used to go Auckland Uni gym though and that had a couple girls with good numbers, both asian chicks
>>40247905
>Auckland Uni
>>40247931
it was a top 50 school when I went :(
then Key's National government cut funding and ratings went down the shitter
still though, I enjoyed it

I'm not clowning the uni

Alan came out with new video saying low bar squats are better than high bar in everything. Thoughts?
>>40248365
so he changed his mind. He said before high bar in general is better since it engages quads more.
>>40248418
Why would a squat be better just because it engages quads more? By that logic I could say low bar is better because it engages the entire posterior chain, or I could say front squats are superior because they work the quads more.
>>40248440
hey dont shoot the messenger:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQuCi2h_kNI
>tfw 65 kg OHP and 95 kg squat
wtf is wrong with my legs, squatting aint for me
>>40248471
>180kg sumo, 50 OHP
well it could be worse.
I just had the best session, did lots of max grip full arch bench, then some low bar squats, then some sumo deadlifts. Then I went home and watched my wife take big loads from these guys who come around every few nights while I cried in the corner. Just a typical Thursday night for me
>>40248240
If you grip properly and build it up over time it wont
I DL 230kg with hookgrip no problems, it just hurts the skin on my thumb a little but you gotta stop being a bitch
>>40248440
I don't know who you're talking about and I didn't watch the video, but squats are a quad-centric lift, and you can't do nearly as much volume with front squats. I don't necessarily agree with the message, but I see the logic.
>>40248440
Because the quads are used in everything and the positioning of the torso is more natural
Highbar has more carryover to sports
>inb4 why not front squat then
Front squats barely engage the quads more and you are more limitated in other areas(like upperback gives out quick)
>>40248207
Just started The Crippled God.
Now I know what you're thinking, and I need to just say that I took a short break from the main series to catch up on ICE's books.
I'm a bit reluctant to read as well, because I don't want it to end.
anyone has experience with norvegian volume program?
>>40248609

>tfw 120kg bench 135kg squat
I dropped sheiko only because I was worried I'm gonna bench more than I squat soon. Benching 3 times a week is amazing, but don't forget about your legs lads
>>40248777
Why sandbag your bench gains for that dumb reason.
Just go for it lad.
>>40248780
Well I was also feeling really burned out, whenever I was about to bench I wanted to kill myself, so decided to take a break.

You haven't truly made it in PL if you aren't sponsored by monster.
>>40248608
I actually hated most of ICE's bar Stonewielder, which I thought was the only one that didn't feel like Erikson-lite.
I'll be happy to start Dancer's Lament though, apparently he's trying his own thing.
First on my shelf is the next book in Miles' Cameron's Red Knight series, it's good shit
>>40248966
I thought there was no money in PL
>>40248619
>>40248619
id let her ski all over me
>>40249049
imagine a tuggie from her
wow
>>40249042
monster isnt currency
and the money is in social media, powerlifting or not
>>40249098
What are some PL's who get payed well because of PL
>>40249159
world champs dont get paid well, so no one gets payed well for actual powerlifting itself
>>40249176
Nah I meant like what are some pl's who get paid well through sponsors and sheet
Talentchad here looking to get payed once I bust these records in my irrelevant country
>tfw want to buy a house so i can convert it into a lifting, eating and sleeping dungeon.
but i'm poor
>>40249185
Mark Bell got filthy rich off lifting related things. He recently gave away a car (read: almost a fucking tank) that must've cost several hundreds of thousands of dollars.
>>40249209
How did he do it
>>40249216
sponsors yo, or like. you know. sell out
>>40249185
>looking to get payed once I bust these records in my irrelevant country
dont count on it
you get sponsors and paid well depending on your social media followers and how well you can get your followers to buy shit, which you can do without every powerlifting
like i said the best in the world at powerlifting are not making bank
>>40249209
he isnt sponsored tho
pardon the meme but he became an entrepreneur
>>40249202
wow i used the word dungeon thinking it would sound cool but it came off like a rape dungeon.
>tfw just want my own space
>>40249236
>>40249240
The best are not making shit because they dont know how to cater the products
Right now pl is a way for me to make money while doing something I enjoy
I need to get good first though. Also need some friends to get the social media started off
>>40249258
>>40249258
>Right now pl is a way for me to make money
>I need to get good first though
>right now
you sound shill as fuck and i doubt anyone would fall for it
easy to see through when you do things for the wrong reasons
Guys like Omar Isuf and Silent Mike are prime examples of making money through lifting things without being great at lifting weights. Both are strong, but neither excell at lifting. They just provide internet content, coach people, sell apparel and get sponsors.
>>40249299
so not based on how good of a powerlifter you are and more about how much of a following you can get, they would be in the same position if they never stepped on a platform, which is why people say there is no money in powerlifting
atleast those guys try to help others, the guy in this thread wants something for nothing
>>40249291
tb h I wanted to get good in the first place but right now I need to make money without doing much so I thought maybe thats a viable option
I just wanna train eat and sleep bros nothing else
>>40249373
>just wanna train, eat and sleep
don't we all
stupid real life why you gotta be like this
>>40249373

not how it works buddy

Haven't you only been doing Sheiko for like 3 weeks
>>40246040
lads this past week I've developed a weird wrist pain while squatting
it's not as apparent during the actual set but as soon as I stop it comes back and is quite painful, to the point that it makes getting tight more difficult
any idea if it's a form or mobility issue?
>>40249589
Y-yeah
>>40249603
Probably just had too many sips, a day or two or lower caffeine sorts me out.
>>40249622
I don't drink anything caffeinated
>>40249574
>>woke up multiple times at night again
Is that even real insomnia? I have been having that for the last month
It occurs every year for several months and it always wrecks me
This this it has been mild though not sure why
>>40249632
It also takes me forever to fall asleep, despite how tired I feel
>>40246040
Well guys, thanks.
This is 4 months of powerlifting progress in between pics.
I am getting heavier and stronger, so I know that I am gaining lean muscle mass, not simply making neurological strength gains with no correlation to the levels of dexa scannable lean mass on my body
As we all know, size = strength.
Diet has been the same as most of you here, hamburgers and gallons of milk, much as I can stuff down my aesthetic throat
Weight has gone from 170--->193, this bulk went great!
Thanks everyone, I know once I cut, I will look great, obviously, there is a ton of muscle on my body, since I lift a lot of weight off the floor , and this in no way is neurological
>>40249651
>It also takes me forever to fall asleep, despite how tired I feel
Yeah me too has been like that my entire life
Takes me like an hour or so but on occasion like 15-30min
>>40249651
>tfw have had insomnia since the age of 10
If I imagine the things I couldve achieved if this sleep disorder wasnt limiting my potential, makes me a bit angry tb h
>>40249664
I'm usually out in 5 minutes
>>40249523
Really well. 230/155/305 for pbs across the board except bench
Why is bench so hard
What's the scientific reason
>>40249654
haha, epic meme friend
have a (You) on the house
>>40249744
it's the hardest technical lift, at least for me
there's too much to focus one
squeezing bar
squeezing shoulder blades
depressing shoulders
tucking and flaring the correct amount and at the correct time
pushing your feet
squeezing your glutes
spreading your legs
pushing chest up
and a few more things depending on the person
the brain can on average hold 5-7 "items" in the working memory, but one item can be almost infinitely big. once you get better at a skill, the brain will group more and more things into a single item. this is why you when you're really good at something you don't really have to focus to perform the task, and you can think about other things in the meantime, because it occupies less "space" in your working memory
Reccomend me a 3 day full body routine, one that has a low rep and high rep day, don't need to squat 3 times a week anymore, need more bench back and arm work for strength related to my job
Everyone hates me after a while and I don't know what I do wrong
This is a fucking curse

I kinda see what you mean. I find them a much heavier read.
Dancer and Rope trilogy seems quite interesting, if only for the story. Will definitely read them some time.
I think I'm doing Kingkiller after Malaz, Boardie has recommended it some times.

What do you do to help sleepiness?
WHERE'S THE TRAPPY ADVANCED BENCH TECHNIQUE SERIES™ THAT WAS PROMISED !?!?!?
ANSWER MEEEE!!!!!!!!!
>>40249995
You mean to get sleepy at night? I have blue light filters on my electronics, I try to not look at screens 30 minutes before I go to bed, I take out my contacts like 2+ hours before I go to bed, and I don't drink anything caffeinated throughout the day. I always feel really tired before going to bed, I just haven't been able to go to sleep easily or sleep uninterrupted for the past week.
Hi guys. Is Madcow a meme?
I found that madcow doesn't work at all because the total volume is way too low. If one lifts heavier, it's because of the easier ramped sets, but it doesn't work to make you stronger.
>>40250053
made me stronger and sheiko didnt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FkMmNb4ZjU
did you guys see big lennys house
what in the fuckety fuck
>>40250000
I literally could not sleep yesterday because I couldn't stop thinking about this.
The problem is that one conclusion leads to other hypothesis which I'm having trouble reverse engineering on my own.
We'll see, hopefully at the end of the today I have the answers I need.
>>40248365
Let me see...
>>40250077
no worries
can someone explain what a powerlifting high bar means, compared to a oly high bar
can someone explain what a low bar position means, compared to a rippetoe extreme position
pref with pics or videos :) thanks :)
>>40250000
waste of quads ţbh ƒam
>>40250090
Bar position doesnr matter that much try to get it where you feel strongest. That will likely be a lower position but it varies depending on the person
>>40250090
lowbar = bar on the rear delts shelf
highbar = bar on the middle traps
Looking from the front, a highbar squat looks as if it's right above the middle delts (pic related).
No such thing as "powerlifting" and "oly" high bar. It's the same thing.
There's nothing extreme about Rip's position, it's a regular lowbar.
However, some lifters try to get the bar even lower than the rear delts shelf in competition, to try and be able to squat even more weight.
But that is not safe and can lead to accidents.
>>40250090
Looking from the front, a lowbar is clearly BEHIND the delts.
>>40250037
Temperature in the room? Dark room? Noise?
>>40250090
Highbar (right above the middle delts when seeing from the front)
>>40250151
Room is fairly warm, although if it's too warm I'll open a window and let it get a fair bit colder. If a room is pretty warm or pretty cold I'll be able to fall asleep fairly easily regardless, usually. Room is very dark, no noise.
>>40250135
i've seen discussions of people doing high bar a bit lower than the "normal" high bar position
and people doing low bar a bit higher than the normal position. i think sheiko recommended this in a seminar somewhere
he said rip version was too low or something, can't remember though
>>40250090
Lowbar (bar is behind the delts)
>>40250068
I think Sheiko is a meme too. Squats should be 3x a week. And we don't need good morning. It only promotes good morning squats.
>>40250168
>i've seen discussions of people doing high bar a bit lower than the "normal" high bar position
Wut I cant even imagine how you would do that
Anything different from the regular position would just hurt. Its either on the neck or beneath the little platform the scapula create
I could take you on any day
>>40250168
People think the "normal highbar position" is over the upper traps. For example, in Lu's case >>40250135 people would think a highbar should be highbar on his neck.
But this is a misconception.
Highbar has the bar positioned on the middle traps shelf.
Pic related is how it looks from the back.
>>40250162
Eat anything before bed?
>>40250177
>And we don't need good morning. It only promotes good morning squats.
Nope.
>>40250175
Is it normal that I cant do low bar because holding the bar in such low position feels unnatural and painful?
>>40250216
Really an aesthetic squat
lowbar looks so fkin ugly I could never squat that way
>>40250216
It is higher. The weight is compressing his little manlet traps

I'm sure your squat looks like garbage no matter what.
>>40250265
nah bro I dont squat lowbar
Vid related for those that want to see the difference between high and low bar positions.
>>40248365
He doesn't say anything we don't already know, really.
Yes, there are benefits to lowbar squatting.
There are also benefits to highbar squatting.
There's no better or worse.
Highbar: involves more thoracic spinal erectors, no shoulder pain, requires more ankle flexibility, easier to learn and teach, doesn't require much shoulder flexibility
Lowbar: involves more lumbar spinal erectors and hamstrings/glutes, can cause or exacerbate shoulder pain, requires less ankle flexibility, slightly less easy to learn and teach, requires some ok shoulder flexibility
>>40250246
Lowbar requires some decent shoulder flexibility, so yes.
>>40250272
so high bar would be better if someone had previous lower back injuries, paired with shoulder and wrist issues?
i feel the back could round easier doing high bar though since its more sitting down, rather than sitting back
dont wanna fuck up my disc bulge even further
>>40250272
that front squat looked like shit
>>40250268
>I don't really squat at all
got it
>>40250272
Is high bar squat what most recreational lifters normally do then?
>>40250294
>so high bar would be better if someone had previous lower back injuries
No. Either squat is fine if done correctly, and both squats are bad if done incorrectly.
>paired with shoulder and wrist issues
Yes, highbar is easier on your shoulders/wrists.
It's a bit harder for some people to get the lowbar in a position that doesn't hurt their wrist/shoulder.
>>40250294
If your back angle changes during highbar, you will visit snap city.
>>40250319
>goodmornings make you visit snapcity
>>40250319
Wrong. That's a myth.
Vid related.
Highbar is not as upright as a front squat.
>>40250317
Yes, it's easier to learn.
>>40250317
Yup. Shitty gym bars, more comfy bar position for light weights, and no coach.

>>40250379
I watch his videos everytime before I jerk and clean.
>>40250373
Used to but my squats are nothing like a good morning
Why is /plg/ promoting sheiko? Is it the most used program by competitive powerlifters?
>>40250501
No, its just the delusions of one tranny with no life.
>>40250224
Sometimes yes sometimes no, depends on how much or little I ate throughout the day
>>40250294
I had a disc bulge and low bar doesn't aggravate it whatsoever
>>40250501
It's easily accessible and many people who've run the programs have experienced gains. I don't think it's the most used but it's a decent alternative to personalised coaching.
>>40246040
Can i modify sheiko to turn it into a more oly lifts oriented program?
As in power cleans from blocks instead of deadlifts from blocks. OHP instead of bench etc
>>40250501
Sheiko programs are recommended because they are good, tried-and-tested programs for intermediate/advanced lifters and are available for free.
>most used by competitive powerlifters
Competitive powerlifters don't use cookie cutter programs. They get their programs personalised by coaches or by themselves.
But when they do use a free program, it is commonly Sheiko spreadsheets.
>>40250501
It provides gains consistently, arguably the best cookie cutter program out there. You work within a range of intensity and reps that leave your form with low variability, allowing you to perfect your technique. You rarely ever miss a rep in training, making you psychologically prepared when you step on the platform.
>>40250593
Just do a oly program.
>>40250593
It's probably not the best idea.
You can use it for training the strength training portion of weightlifting (aka squats), but for the classics you're better off with an actual weightlifting program.
How do I make sure my ohp doesnt go to shit while on sheiko
>>40250617
You have to choose your priorities.
>>40250617
4 days/wk 4th day ohp & light deadlift I'd assume but IANAT
>>40250603
>>40250614
Recommend me an olympic program for someone who cant into snatch/full power clean form then
>>40250625
No. Fuck off back to /owg/, they'll be of more help to you.
>>40250625
Any strength program while practising the classics every day until you can do the full lifts.
No point in worrying about programming when you can't even do the lifts properly.

Do you want me to give you a page number as well? Or do you have at least 80 IQ and can do that on your own?
>are your parent's ashamed of you?
No they are proud of me, and we're good friends.
>>40250887
Wtf are you talking about.
>>40250884
Bend over and do a cross raise with your elbows bent. Like the middle ground with a fromt raise and a lat raise. It seems to target them pretty good
Or do a klokov press
>>40250884
Just means you have weak af traps.
And you also need traps to OHP, so keep doing what you're doing.
>>40250904
asking seriously to an insulting rhetorical question is a sign of weakness
>>40250873

yeah i know what you're saying
"the level of advancement a lifter is doesn't depend on his strength level. it depends on his ability to progress"
so why are you implying TM won't get you advanced and why are you implying sheiko isn't for intermediates to advanced?
>>40250926
Rippetoe isn't talking about 405 bench, he's talking about 405 squat.

>>40250939

When I do lateral raises, I do the eccentric part slow and it fuckjing kills my shoulders

I dont know if itll get you stronger on OHP, but at least youd be using your shoulders more and not traps

>>40250954
Sots*
Is touch and go deadlift cheating?
>>40250921
This is terrible advice. If the lat raises are becoming too trappy, then you're using them too much ass opposed to the actual muscle you're targetting. And lat raises are terrible to hit traps, and his side delts are weak, it doesn't mean his traps are also weak. If you want to hit traps, do power shrugs or farmers walks.
You should probably lower the weight and try and find the exact technique required to hit just your side delts and repeat that and ingrain it in memory.
Also this
>>40250909
>>40250941
If you look in the book, you'll clearly see that by Rippetoe's definition, SS is for beginners, TM is for intermediates, Sheiko is for advanced.

It does.
You refusing the truth doesn't make it not truth.

What the fuck?
Lateral raises are supposed to target the deltoids and traps.
You literally cannot take the traps out of the equation unless you're doing something stupid, since it's a movement that involves the scapulohumeral rhythm (abduction).

nothing wrong with this statement. it doesn't imply they are for the level of training advancement. if I made a fantastic advanced program and a terrible novice routine then it would make perfect sense to say my advanced program is better than my novice routine. the statement was that TM is the best cookie cutter routine, and SS and TM are both cookie cutter routines

Why?
what are some ways I can progress deadlifts once a week?
Looking for interesting suggestions.
>>40251031
I never said it didn't hit traps. I said you're using them too much. If you're only feeling it in your traps then you're doing something wrong. Don't fucking advocate the guy to keep on doing them like that, that's terrible advice.
People don't go into lat raises thinking they'll also hit the traps, they go into them for delts. That is the target. It'd be like someone doing pullups and only feeling it in their biceps. Yes, it also hits them, but that is not the target and you are obviously doing something wrong.
Do you need anything else explained in my post?
>>40251094
do you only want to do deadlifts once a week or what?
>>40251052
Yes but you are comparing apples with oranges.
You can still say "this is a good apple, and this is a bad orange. Thus, this apple is better than this orange" but that's because you are comparing apples with apples, oranges with oranges, getting the results from that and inputting it into another comparison (good fruits).
If you have no orange vs orange comparison, you can't make an apple vs orange comparison.
>>40251096
How the fuck are you using the traps too much?
That's like saying you're using your biceps too much to curl. Or using your chest too much to bench.
lol
>People don't go into lat raises thinking they'll also hit the traps
What the fuck?
It's literally an exercise for traps and delts.
Like...
Literally.
>>40251117
i think trappy is a bad orange
okay, all this side lat raise talk
how do you do them? i've never seen two people do this exercise the same way, but i could never found a comfy way to do them
i do them like this currently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5sNYB1Q6aM&t=5m20s
i feel it a lot in my traps and neck, and of course the shoulders, but they fatigue extremely quickly and i had to drop the weight by a few kilos
>>40251114
Preferably once yeah
>>40251060
The sots press is used for snatches, hence the snatch stance.
Klokov took the snatch stance out of the equation. They're similar, but different. It's like comparing the Z Press to the standing OHP.
>>40251129
1x5 once a week and add 5lbs.
honestly if you want more interesting programming you're gonna have to do more volume or more variation like dynamic effort
God fucking hell does it look shit to be 25%+ BF.
Literally no one could see that i even lift and i have tits.
Worst idea ever, i need cutting foods in my fridge right now.
>>40251128
Yes that's pretty much the best way to do it. Internally rotating the shoulders to do lateral raises is kind of dumb.
Though bending over or not is personal preference.
>i feel it a lot in my traps and neck, and of course the shoulders, but they fatigue extremely quickly and i had to drop the weight by a few kilos
That just means your traps are much weaker than your shoulders, thus they can't keep up.
Keep training and they will get stronger.
>>40251117
You probably never have done lateral raises.
Shut the fuck up and go to the gym.
>>40251094

>>40251092
It's not specific to powerlifting.
It's more difficult to maintain proper form.
You're eliminating the off-the-floor portion of the deadlift which is usually the most difficult portion of a conventional deadlift. You want to emphasize weakpoints, not avoid them. TnG deadlifts can be used as a variant and should be thought of as an middle+upper partial of the deadlift.

from the video it seems there's two possible way to interpret the instructions
first way is to do a sort of standing dumbbell fly, which feels like ur pulling something apart almost
other way is to do them straight up and down along your sides, sort of imagining jerking off two giant dicks on each side

>What would be better (random examples) 3x3 or a top set of 3, a back off set of 6 and a back off set of 9 (at lighter weights ovb)
Depends on which %s you are using and what the objective of the workout is.
Assuming the objective is to get stronger, and 3x3 is at 90%, and the other option is 1x3 90% 1x6 1x9 at whatever %,
both options are equally bad.
You need more sets to progress senpai.
>>40251205
I assume by lateral raises you want to train shoulder abduction.
Thus, the movement should be shoulder abduction. Aka moving the weight away from your body in the sagittal plane.
>>40251222
yeh just a few kg on bench primarily
>>40251117
I'm not using traps too much. I'm saying it happens. They use too much weight with bad form and it becomes more similar to a shrug than a lat raise.
And you literally just advocated someone keep using too much traps in their lat raises so don't start questioning how it's done now.
It doesn't hit the traps very hard though. Not nearly enough. Hence why you wouldn't do lat raises to TARGET traps. You're mincing words and assuming a use excludes all other muscle groups. I also didn't include forearms either, you want to go for that too?
Let me explain again slower.
If you are doing lat raises, your intended muscle group to be worked is your lateral deltoids. Your target group is the delts. That does not mean you won't also hit your traps, it just means the whole purpose you are doing lat raises is for delts. Because they are the best thing for them and a very minor one for traps.
Do you understand now? People don't go into lat raises thinking they're going to get a good trap workout, you go into it to hit your lateral delts hard. Ie, you target your delts.
And by telling someone to keep doing them when he's only getting his traps hit is not helping him get the intended results.
Do you understand now?
>>40251170
ad hom is usually an attack at character.
If you have never squatted before and use the objectively best information to teach a squat, someone who has squatted more than you will still have an advantage.
Stop misusing fallacies faggot.
Doug Walton, Canadian academic and author, has argued that ad hominem reasoning is not always fallacious, and that in some instances, questions of personal conduct, character, motives, etc., are legitimate and relevant to the issue,[8] as when it directly involves hypocrisy, or actions contradicting the subject's words.
The philosopher Charles Taylor has argued that ad hominem reasoning (discussing facts about the speaker or author relative to the value of his statements) is essential to understanding certain moral issues due to the connection between individual persons and morality (or moral claims), and contrasts this sort of reasoning with the apodictic reasoning (involving facts beyond dispute or clearly established) of philosophical naturalism.[9]

What's the next step up from here?
>>40251234
>it becomes more similar to a shrug than a lat raise
What?
A shrug means scapular elevation, a lateral raise is shoulder abduction. You can't "shrug into abduction".
>It doesn't hit the traps very hard though. Not nearly enough. Hence why you wouldn't do lat raises to TARGET traps
Wtf are you talking about?
You don't seem to understand how the shoulder joint operates...
I recommend you google and read a bit about scapular rotation, shoulder flexion/abduction, and scapulohumeral rhythm.
If you are having issues finding anything on google I can get you some links and reading suggestions.

If the objective is simply to get stronger, back off sets at...
wait.
No.
Look, by intensity I mean the RPE of the set. That involves both weight and reps.
Doing a set with weight, let's just use a random number, 100pipi x 3 reps gives you RPE 9. Doing a set of 80pipi x 6 reps gives you RPE 9.
They both have the same intensity.
You want lower intensity, and more sets.

I can engage in any discussion you want.
However, experience has taught me that discussions that start with a logical fallacy are better avoided, for the sake of me not wasting my time (which is not an infinite resource, unfortunately).
So, sorry. If you want me to engage with you, don't base the very introduction of your point on a fallacy.

Have you ever done a lat raise before? They're using momentum and their traps to get the weight up as opposed to a nice clean and slow shoulder raise. A little body english and it becomes more trappy than deltoids.
I don't know what you're getting confused about, do you assume I'm saying people are shrugging with correct lat raise form or something?
I recommend you actually do lat raises. I've done them. I know how to do them correctly to hit my medial delts. I also know how to do them incorrectly and hit my traps.
And when I do them correctly, guess what? My traps don't feel the brunt. Your traps should not be the only thing burning after a lat raise. In fact I'd argue you shouldn't feel it in your traps at all but then you'd take that to mean traps aren't even worked because you lack reading comprehension
You however in addition to not doing them, also can't read correctly. You're still under the assumption even though I've corrected you multiple times that I'm saying lat raised don't work traps.
Here, let's simplify this so you can ignore it like you're going to do in favor of cropped sentences:
Are lat raises supposed to hit the (medial so you can't misinterpret) deltoids more or the traps?

What momentum.

But that's literally how your shoulders function.
Again, I recommend you google and read a bit about scapular rotation, shoulder flexion/abduction, and scapulohumeral rhythm.
If you are having issues finding anything on google I can get you some links and reading suggestions.

Okay, please put your argument into valid form and number your statements.
If you are going to use fallacies, I want you to actually do what people do in debates and show it.
Ill get you started because this is my argument
1. Someone who does X once will have am advantage of experience over someone who has never done it
2. someone who does X very well and has experience will do something better than someone who has only done X once
3. + someone who has more experience will have an advantage over someone who has no experience
I chose my words carefully from the beginning.
Please display where the fallacy is made, or choose a statement that you disagree with and substantiate why you disagree with it.

You did it. I knew you'd ignore it because you don't even know what you're supposed to be arguing. I literally called you on it, and you did it.
Anyway, have you even fucking seen a video of someone doing lat raises? People will use legs, shrug and go silly arms, favor one side, etc to get the weight up. People don't use correct form on lat raises and that's a problem. And that's the entire point here. You advocated and keep advocating people keep using lat raises in a way that only their traps are hit. That does not sound like they are using correct form to me.
Again, I recommend you actually read and comprehend my entire post before you reply again.
How does me understand or not understanding how the shoulders work flow into the blatant point that lat raises shouldn't be only working the traps.
You're going completely off tangent and moving the goalposts in favor of something you think you understand.
I could be saying the traps raise your forearms and it still would have nothing to do with the actual point. What the fuck does the correct inner workings of the shoulder have to do with people doing incorrect form?
>you cannot shrug into a lat raise
Not a correct lat raise no, but I sure as fuck can propel weights upwards with a heavy shrug/body english into a bastardization of a lat raise and then complain that my medial delts aren't getting worked.
Which is the point. If your traps are getting worked more than your delts, then you need to have a look at your form and fix it. Do you not disagree?
>>40251458
your traps are antagionists in some ranges of motions and becomes a synnergist once the elbow joint/hand (depending on form) is raised at or above the humeral head of the shoulder joint.
try activating your traps only and see how high your hands ago.
also, abduct your hand like youre heiling hitler, but hes instead to your right, so you being an awkard autist salute him on the frontal plane
watch your trap activate upon getting close to the horizontal plane

His argument is still a strawman, because I never said the things he implied I said.

Yes, that's a fallacy. It's explaining the fallacy.

>People will use legs
Ok, but that's like using legs to do the OHP.
It's irrelevant.
>shrug
Have you researched the things I mentioned you should?
Please do it before we continue.
>You advocated and keep advocating people keep using lat raises in a way that only their traps are hit
1: This literally makes no sense. Your traps can't abduct the shoulders on their own. They need both the initial pull from the supraspinatus, and the pull from the deltoids at the humerus.
2: I didn't advocate that. I specifically and clearly advocated that lateral raises are a shoulder abduction movement and thus will train your deltoids and traps.
>>40251673
So can you prove your point or not?
Can you give it any scientific or logical backing?

Holy shit are you stupid. How do you keep arguing but keep ignoring everything? You have to keep it simple because you can only answer things you think you have an answer to.
The legs help them lift more weight than they can. It also serves to show how much people cheat doing lat raises. Which is a HUGE point here.
Have you actually read any of my posts and comprehended them? I literally just said shrug to body english and I could lift more than normal. And you keep getting hung up on that word too. Farther proving your refusal to actually adress the argument that you shouldn't use traps more than delts.
Here's a simple exercise:
Get some momentum in your legs. Shrug hard like you're doing a really powerful clean with your arms kind of bent and engage the traps the entire time and make sure to go fast. That is largely similar to most people's lat raises. YOU USE THE MEDIAL DELTS yes, but your movement is largely with your traps.
You notice you can do it or I can without really using much shoulder. This can easily get your weight to the required height. This passes off as most people's lat raises. This is exactly what I've been talking about the entire time.
I know it doesn't make sense, I don't know why you'd say it. The guy said he was getting too much trap movement so you told him to keep on doing it without changing a thing.
Do you still not understand?
>>40251923
>The legs help them lift more weight than they can. It also serves to show how much people cheat doing lat raises. Which is a HUGE point here.
Ok but we were not really talking about their legs.
>I literally just said shrug to body english and I could lift more than normal.

thank you fat chad bench man
>>40251952
Concession accepted.
Legs are about as relevant as you trying to tell me to google how the shoulder/traps work. Like I said, legs help in weight moved. You do enough body english and you can "lat raise" quite a lot of weight while seeming like you barely hit your delts at all
And no I haven't. I don't need to. I know how my own body works and I've been actually doing fucking lat raises this entire time to see how bad I can fuck up the form while still looking akin to a lat raise. Everything I've said I can do. I literally just told you to try something out and you've ignored it.
And you also didn't even prove anything with your "go google it". If you want someone to believe you, you should actually pinpoint and explain how it's relevant. Not just try and explain how things work vaguely while misinterpretting everything else the other person says.
It's like you think my only argument is "shrug your shoulders and you use no medial delts at all and you simply raise your arms all the way to the side". But that's after you thought I was saying traps aren't even used
Next time you should actually read more carefully before you assume.
Let's clear this up though:
What should you be feeling more when you do a lat raise, your delts or your traps? And would you say when you do lat raises that you try to TARGET your medial delts?
>>40252086
>Like I said, legs help in weight moved
Of course.
>as you trying to tell me to google how the shoulder/traps work
You don't seem to understand how shoulder abduction works, what the muscles do.
How can you argue about biomechanics of training when you don't know the basics of it?
How can you argue about the traps and delts when you don't even know what scapulohumeral rhythm is?
Try it, for once. Put your ego aside and go research the things I mentioned.
They might be a lot more enlightening than you imagine.
And if they aren't, or you're having issues finding good sources to read from, I can help.
>What should you be feeling more when you do a lat raise, your delts or your traps?
Whichever is the weak link will be felt first, as it's gonna give in earlier than the other.
>And would you say when you do lat raises that you try to TARGET your medial delts?
lateral raises are TARGETING shoulder abduction strength and muscle development.
That involves: front and lateral deltoids (a bent torso also involves posterior delts, as it gives it some transverse abduction ROM), supraspinatus, trapezius, serratus, and the clavicular pec major.
One can argue that doing it with shoulder external rotation will also strengthen the rotator cuff, but I'm 50/50 on that since the dumbbells aren't providing resistance against the rotation.
>noticed that by widening my stance I'm basically as upright as Frog and my torso angle basically doesn't change at the top and in the hole
Is this what being a squat Chad feels like?
>>40252189
Again, how the shoulder works is irrelevant. You yourself can't even explain how it's relevant and you're also assuming I know nothing about how muscles work when that has nothing at all to do with the point. What I know or don't know doesn't change the point that you can do lat raises entirely wrong and completely change the dynamic of them.
You're telling me to google things I know. You're telling me to Google to try and change my opinion that yes, when I'm doing lat raises I can cheat the absolute fuck out of them and get minimal effect out of my delts, and hit my traps way too hard.
And yes, I can shrug into a lat raise. I told you this. You can too. It's not only a shrug, but it's still mimicking the lat raise.
Like you don't even have an argument at this point. Why are you continuing?
And that's assuming a person has never done anything in their life. Iirc the fucking guy said he was deadlifting too.
And you're now just using every muscle the lat raises hits to try and say it targets that. You realize target doesn't mean you exclude smaller muscle groups?
Since you're playing dumb and side stepping the question:
Why do people do lat raises; to hit your medial delts or to hit your traps?
>>40252403
>how the shoulder works is irrelevant
How is it irrelevant if it explains to you the reason why you are also working your traps?
>You yourself can't even explain how it's relevant
It's relevant because it explains to you how shoulder abduction also involves the trapezius muscle.
>Why do people do lat raises; to hit your medial delts or to hit your traps?
To strengthen shoulder abduction and hypertrophy of the muscles involved in shoulder abduction.
That involves: front and lateral deltoids (a bent torso also involves posterior delts, as it gives it some transverse abduction ROM), supraspinatus, trapezius, serratus, and the clavicular pec major.
One can argue that doing it with shoulder external rotation will also strengthen the rotator cuff, but I'm 50/50 on that since the dumbbells aren't providing resistance against the rotation.
>>40252403
Very simply said dude. If you raise your arm to the side to a 90° angle to your body the delt and the trap will be engaged. You'll feel the weaker one first. It's like you want to squat without using your glutes and just your squats. If that is to hard to understand for you i don't think you ever will.
>>40252551
Obviously i wanted to write "Just your quads" and not "Just your squats".
>accidentally underloaded the bar by 20 lbs for top sets
God fucking damn it
Fixed it, did 4x2 with the proper weight this time, form got a little worse but still not too bad https://youtu.be/vQcdz5nN1pY
daily reminder that all lifting cues are bad unless paired with an explanation on what the cue tries to accomplish
bending the bar when benching meant nothing to me until i realized it's to depress the shoulders which activates the lats
not even nuckols says so in his super bench guide lmao
