Your drunk banter is only funny to you. I say this as someone who has been on both sides of drunk posting.
>>40405082
look at your form lol
you have like 0 external rotation your stance isnt even outside the rights
your back is rounded as ever loving fuck like a cat I can tell by your lockout
BUT YOU STILL REP 500LBS ON THE DEADLIFT

it's like form doesn't even matter

>>40405148
awn <3 ily2anon
>>40405191
>what is narrow sumo
a bastardization of the sumo deadlift which defeats the whole purpose of the damn stance. You can't get proper external rotation and it's just hindering yourself because you can't be assed to let your ego take a hit for a few months and lower the weights while you learn the proper form which is better by far in the long run.
look at his fucking lockout in your webm. guess what his back would look like from side LOL.
>>40405189
Alcohol :-)
Truth be told, j just don't let bad things ruin me. There's no point. I'm drifting through space, gamma rayz from the sun are more a threat than feeling alone.
Just work towards finding other people to share your happiness.
Women are super manipulative and just will hurt you, but you know what? Be prepared, they aren't easy to handle, so instead of being a sad cunt about it, be ready to handle it! Know what you're getting into.
The easiest way to happiness is acceptance. Know what you've got to do and do it!
The more you deny reality the more unhappy you are.
Tell me what's got you down and I'll tell you what to do
>>40405215
>implying there isn't a niche of lifters who pull more with narrow sumo than sumo or conventional
>what are proportions
Been doing 531 for a while now. Today I heard a cracking in my low back doing final set of deadlift for week 3. But I've always hated testing my 1rm.
Is there a powerlifting program for intermediate lifters, were you never have to lift below 3 or 5 reps?
>>40405253
Post some super happy music please
I really like you, not love but...
You are a great person. Keep it up!
>>40405253
I'm not going to continue this conversation because I know what you are.
You're wrong and anybody who knew what they were talking about, say for example boris sheiko, would tell you the same thing.

Sumo is TRASH.
Lowbar is TRASH.
Archback bench is TRASH.
>>40405347
I agree with this, except that a small amount of lower back arch on bench helps maintain tightness without shrinking ROM
>>40405286
>say for example boris sheiko
Funny that you mention him:

i have questions for you to answer retard!
>>40405627
you do know its literally just cocao powder, and sugar diluted with water until the consistency is drippy and flowy
>>40405652
the consistency is the same as what you can get at the store?
>>40405674
depends how much sugar you put in it
it takes a lot of sugar to get the exact consistency
I scaled back the sugar and still got a good consistency for pouring over icecream

What is it?
>>40405127
Please consider putting this post in a pastebin, this is getting far too long
8 weeks in Sheiko advanced medium load.
- I love the volume, but I almost always add more weight, because I feel like I can handle higher intensity with the same volume just fine
- I PRd a bench few days ago +5kg compared to my initial max, and it felt awesome
- Didn't try it yet, but I feel like my squat became better as well about 5 kg
- Unfortunately I feel like my deadlift is the same. But maybe this is because the high volume, and built up fatigue.
So far, I'm quite satisfied.
Just hit 445lb squat for 3 lads. Didn't even know I had it in me.
>thank you based Smolov
>>40406108

Any chance that you are going to release the 6-day program so we don't have to fill out the form and submit an e-mail address?
>>40406353
Once it's finished. It's not done yet, that's why I'm using the forms. So that I can release each week separately and people can start training with it.
>>40406416

>>40406984
Yeah, training 6 days per week full body every day probably isn't the best for you kekk
But there are plenty of good programs for your level.
Texas Method http://imgur.com/a/l54a1
BLEST
Nuckols 28 programs
Candito LP
uh... a bunch of others that I can't remember right now
And if you're tired of maxing out every week or so, you can try Sheiko Beginner.
>>40406984
Why are you here?
>>40406488
>300 wilks
If you have a 300 wilks you need to take a moment to make sure your form is decent, and then run Texas Method.
There is no reason other than having absolutely nothing else to do with one's life for someone with a 300 wilks to be in the gym six days per week.
You are giving complex programs to n00bs and then crediting those retarded programs with their progress when, as a n00b, pretty much fucking anything would have caused progress.
>>40407107
>300 wilks
>run Texas Method
Rip in peace
>>40406984
>237 wilks
Unless you're missing a limb, this should be easily fixable.
Height, weight, age, and the most recent videos of you squatting, benching, and deadlifting if you have any, please.
>>40407116
I'm doing it, in 8-10 week cycles, near a 400 wilks.
At this point, the bare bones TM is probably substandard for bench press. I either need a separate program for that, or to add some assistance lifts to increase pressing volume. I'd do it NOW, but I've got a meet in six weeks and don't want to drastically alter shit until after that.
But I am STILL making progress on squats. 5x5 squats will take you goddamn far.
Which you don't know because you squat 1.5x bodyweight, or 185 lbs.
>>40407116
Are you saying 300 wilks is too high for TM?
>>40407138
Goodluck on the platform.
>>40407138
>>40407150
Just because people like Kermit can get to 400 wilks in a few months doing whatever, doesn't mean everyone should follow suit.
Most people doing TM over 300 wilks are literally stuck and grinding every week, to the point of mental exhaustion (aka the burnout meme that people think is caused by Sheiko, literally the anti-burnout program).
They would be better off doing a more sensible program that will bring more reliable gains and keep them from maxing out every week.
In fact, I've had multiple people with 300-320 who were literally stuck on TM for a long time and thought couldn't progress properly anymore, then they did one month of Sheiko and increased their wilks by absurd amounts (up to 40 points in one month).
There is a point where submaximal loads, volume, and perfect technique on every rep on every set is more important than trying to max out every week with snapcity technique, bulking with massive amounts of calories, and constantly worrying if you're gonna fail or not, trying to squeeze all you can out of a program that is barely working anymore.
And the 300 wilks was chosen as recommended point because it's the same used by Mike T on project momentum (are you gonna argue with him about that as well?). But most of the people who are actually doing the 6x dietmar program are within 340-380 and 400+.
Also I squat 2x bodyweight tyvm
>>40406204

You know how to fix this.
>>40405215

That's called peaking, hun
>>40406873
I'm still here working on this.
And I'm the biggest TM shill in the history of /fit/.
But TM isn't the solution for everything or the best program for everyone. It has its time and place.
>>40407259
Do you even know who that is? lmao
>>40407252

>>40407264
>peaking with the prep cycle
Sure.
>>40407228
TM is still working fine for me at a 300 wilks.
i don't deadlift at all i just rotate rack pulls and haltings on mondays, i do powercleans on fridays and i cycle the rep schemes on squat and bench between 5RM 3x2 or 1RM
>>40407284
>>peaking with the prep cycle

>Sure.
Yes, sure. Going from the high INOLs of a high-rpe TM VD to the lower intensity of the prep cycle will result in supercompensation.

>>40407300
omg
dude
You know what, I'm not wasting my time.
Nevermind I said anything, you're absolutely correct. Extreme high volume = peaking, low volume high intensity = preparation.
>>40407299
Yeah and Kermit can still do TM just fine at 420 or so wilks.
That doesn't mean anything.
You are only one person. There's a wide range around where you are where "most people" get stuck. Most people is more than 1 person.
I've trained people who used TM to 350-360 wilks.
I've trained people who couldn't get past 260 with TM.
The program isn't the solution for everything (that would be called spotoshot). Eventually you will have to move on, just like everyone does. And it's often a better idea to move on >before< you reach that point (specially if you plan on actually being a powerlifter and competing).
>>40407284
The only damn thing Boris said about the narrow sumo was it's something only midgets do because they have short ass legs so they don't need to spread their legs wide to get the external rotation
are you fucking dense?
>>40407368
>(specially if you plan on actually being a powerlifter and competing).

>>40407336
I'll try to speed it up. My folders aren't terribly organized, so I'm skimming through tens of thousands of pictures.
>>40407395
You're not gonna be comp-ready by doing a program where you're grinding reps every week. Unless you consider phd natty norton phd to be comp ready.
You need time to work on perfecting technique.
Kermit has been doing Sheiko for two full months already and we're still working on improving details of his technique on every single workout.
It's not that simple.
Powerlifting (IPF) is not just about strength. You can be strong as fuck but still get redlighted becase of dumb stuff you could've avoided with better training.
>>40407393
Yeah, and what did I say about narrow sumo?
>>40407446
well that's the limitations you have of working with someone from the internet. t b h he needs at least one local meet to get some experience in my opinion.
Having him go straight to nationals right out of his basement might not be the best thing for him. Who's going to coach his warmups? who's going to decide his openers on the day?
he needs someone with him and i haven't heard anything about that (yet)
and norton is squatting 295lbs now lol. that'll turn to 295kgs in no time
>>40407446
You were trying to justify 6 ft lanklets using it, or 93kg alex

Squats are the most technically demanding, physically challenging and downright injurious lift period.
That's why gitting gud at them is so important. You have to purge the weakness from your soul and body.

Yea, I've never followed a program. It just seems retarded. I do my big compounds a certain number of times per week and I throw in pullups, dips, etc, whenever I feel like I can get them in.

Is training forearms 4x a week OK?
Grip has been shit but I don't lift heavy anyway cause I'm a weak shit with thick forearms.
>>40405215
>You can't get proper external rotation
You sure about that?
Should I jerk off before going out or no?
If I don't, I'll be extra aggressive and rapey. If I do, I'll get tired and go home early
>>40405135
form has never mattered at all in any strength training
it's just propaganda pushed by low intensity programs by the russians. they don't actually train that way.
"lift no weight, perfect technique, very strong good yes!"
and you all fell for it
it's all about genetics, and who's less prone to injury. every single world record is done with shitty form, so you can't even argue me. i win regardless
>>40408512
Compromise and edge
>>40408514
You're a fucking retard. Of course proper form becomes more difficult to maintain as weight increases, because you're straining your ass off. Fuck off with your misinformation, cuck fag.
Sleep tight my Prince...
Does anyone know anything about fixing bracing and correcting breathing?
When I have a bar on my back, for some reason, I can't take a full breath into my abdomen and I also can't keep the lower abs/area around my hip flexors tight. I get even more loose as I descend.
I've done a couple drills but they don't seem to help much, as much as I try, I can't breathe into/
tighten my lower back without excessive arching and when I do brace, it only seems to be my upper abs that are tight and have air in even after following all cues.

Strange, strange man.
Job begins on March 6th
Tfw two straight weeks of playing for honor
Hey what does /fit/ think is the best routine for beginning powerlifting/strength training? My goal is primarily to build real world strength. Is starting strength still considered the best start point?
Also last year I did stronglifts 5 x 5. I peaked out at a deadlift of 155kg. At that weight, I was completely unable to lift the bar of the ground as my fingers couldn't hold the weight. I was easily busting out 5 reps of 150 kg; and I believe my body was physically strong enough to lift 155kg, but I just couldn't stop the bar from slipping through my fingers, and yes I was using reverse grip. Has anyone else had this problem? How do you solve it?
>>40409618
Download Beyond 531. It's free if you know where to look. It's a fairly short read but as tons of lifting templates.
It is more flexibility for incorporating other movements besides just powerlifting stuff while still progressing the Big Four.
If you're worried about grip strength, do more weighted chin-ups Pull-Ups, dumbbell rows, and maybe some static holds. Farmer's walks are excellent real world strength as well.
>>40409595
Honour your bets your frightened little weasel
>>40409740

You talk like a faggot
I get stuck in the hole. It's the only way I fail now in squats. Once I'm moving I'm good. I'm training all my squats with varying lengths pauses, what else can I do? If stats help;
> 88kg BW
> 175kg back squat
> 195kg box squat (at parallel)
> 140kg front squat
> 205kg deadlift

180 squat get
http://youtu.be/f0Cx5phq7Y8
Stutter makes it seem like I stalled halfway up but I didn't. RPE9
185 squat fail
http://youtu.be/2zdiqwM87Gc
Interesting how I failed this because I literally just forgot to control my descent so I pretty much dived down and didn't even try to push it back up.
For both attempts I kind of forgot to do form right. With good form I'm confident in 185, 190 would be a stretch. Just need to test more often to get used to testing so I'll do it more often.
Got my paused bench to my TnG bench (105) at RPE 9. Failed 110 for the same reason as my 185 squat, just didn't control the descent and gave up. Definitely need more practice with heavy singles to stop psyching myself out
Testing DL tomorrow
>>40409814
nice. you need more air though. suck in more air

You're pretty bad at this whole lifting weights thing

I need some advice so I finally did that hip opening stretch with your elbows and it's amazing I don't know why I didn't do it before. My knee pain is gone.
Every time I've squatted recently, I've had knee pain because of how tight I am.
Do I still have to squat or is it ok to work on opening my hips for like a week first? Doing it a few times a day/sitting in a squat?

I know I'm a twink and this is plg but I just hit 60kg for 3x5 at 70kg bodyweight. Is this piss weak or am I getting there? I feel like everyone can bench bodyweight for reps easily.
Also how do i stop my body from twisting to complete last rep? Just stay tighter?

>>40410484
It's piss weak and you are uneven muscularly. It's okay. Most people are. A lifetime of favouring one arm does that and many people remain that way forever but with consistent bilateral training it goes away pretty much.
But though you are weak everyone starts somewhere. Eventually you will do that with 2plates and then people in your gym will think you're strong.
>>40410540
I'll have you know I'm a lean faggot thank you very much
But yeah fuck sheiko lmao

I honestly don't give a shit. If you want to try to drink yourself to sleep every night, that is your decision.
It's your life, you pussy. If you don't want to get help, then that's your fault. You probably be a lot happier and healthier if you talked about lifting here instead of bitching about your alcoholism and insomnia though.
