Livia keeps her interests to her self publicly to maintain plausible deniability. Why are you making me repeat myself you neanderthal?
Saying hainos interests line up is over exaggerating.

Sending students away for a 3+ month break twice a year is not something univserties anywhere do, nice try though.

I never once said anything about Haino in that post, but everybody knows they're the same person, especially now.

Since you didn't even bother to respond to the third point I'm just going to assume you don't have a reasonable explanation for it. You can stop posting now Rafael.

>>40457192
People found livia (the person who was in all the pictures claiming to be trappy) on facebook and contacted her.
She said her ex boyfriend who was very into weightlifting was probably impersonating her and she had previously talked to him about it but he had denied it
Evidence was things like previous posts from him on his facebook and elsewhere that were sometimes exactly the same thing "trappy" posted here.
Also livia's english was not anywhere near as good as the person posting as trappy.
So it's most likely that "trappy" is actually a south american manlet named rafael who is the ex boyfriend of the girl in question that has been posted
After all this, trappy didn't post for a day or two, and will not post a timestamped picture
That's basically it, while there's always going to be some doubt that livia could have faked poor english, and then never posted anything about fitness on her social media and is having him default to taking the hit, it's highly unlikely.

tl:dr /fit/s favorite girl with a penis is actually a short boy with a penis

>>40457286

Don't forget the part where Rafael took down his Facebook account.

It's not bad, but I wouldn't do it outside of comp prep, and I may not even be doing it to prep for my next meet, it just doesn't feel challenging and it doesn't feel like I get a lot out of it.

I like training to be strong and powerlifting but I have literally no interest in competing and find it all a bit autistic

Anyone else?

>>40457381
nah, i wanna compete soon cos it's literally the only physical thing that I might be competitive at. I never did sports as a kid and i want to be the best at some physical feat

>>40458175

I honestly think trappy is a valuable member here as he obivously knows a crap ton about training, biomechanics, programing and powerlifting. In my opinion he knows the most in here. I think we should let him at least give an explaination why the fuck he did what he did. I kinda see parallels to blaha. Knowledgeable but somehow tries to make himself something he isn't. And we all saw how that turned out as he got cought up in his lies. Trappy come clear with the 100% truth and the people here who actually care about training can move forward. It would be a shame to lose someone with that knowledge.

why choose to come to a place where as soon as you post you take abuse. What little benefits you get from coming here cannot possibly outweigh the negatives.

The level of deception is as baffling as it is unnecessary. If he just posted as some skinny Brazilian dude who had crappy lifts but read a lot of stuff, he would have been accepted by the community and probably well liked. Sure people would give him shit for having shit lifts, but if he was honest about being a guy, he'd probably just get good advice and end up bettering himself in the process.

Instead, he had to pull all this psycho-sexual nonsense really just to create unnecessary drama. So fuck him.

>>40459902
Bloodborne is great. It really is.

But then you'll be picking at scraps for anything else and end up with a big multiplat library. Guess you could try Nioh, and Nier when it comes out. Heard Nioh is good.

Enjoy the process of getting stronger, not just the result of being strong.

I like lifting weights because it allows me to get away from work and my family for a little bit of time each day and do something primal.

If you don't enjoy the process, you're going to have a hard time convincing yourself to do it everyday.

If you just want to get stronger without actually lifting, just do steroids. I'm not joking or being sarcastic either.

>>40460457
How much do you bench press?

I've seen a lot of guys that don't have a lot of upper body musculature bench more with a closer grip because they're able to stay tighter on the bench.

>>40460993
You've been using it? What's it like?
I freegram myself, sort of DUP style. Could I just enter what lifts i hit on each day as I go and @ which RPE they were and it would be of some use for me?

>>40460954
That makes me extremely happy to hear
>>40460941
Weak chest, strong triceps/ Delts.
My OHP also is comparatively stronger than my bench, so this supports the claim.

I could be wrong, feel free to explain if I am! I won't be upset I promise :x

>>40460940
I do dumbbell bench and flies as it is though, have been doing them for a very long time but the problem has still occurred.

Granted the max grip number has gone significantly down due to a nasty plateau.

Interesting you say that, because I definitely am tighter, and my arch feels a lot more stable with CGBP

>>40457357
Yeah I'm an early intermediate just like you and sheiko is alright it just takes a long time for the workouts to be finished. But 5/3/1 or texas are good too so don't be afraid to try any of em out.

>>40461021
>Weak chest, strong triceps/ Delts.
No mate this isn't how it works. It's not just a case of oh my close grip is good must mean I have good triceps. The mechanics of the lift are much more complicated than that. Some argue close grip uses your chest even more than wide grip because the ROM is so much bigger, you go further down and activate the chest more.
IMO looking at a lift and saying 'oh I stall at X point, Y muscle must be weak'. Sure you can work on your weak points like board press etc but you shouldn't be judging which muscles are weak and which are strong from your lifts.

>>40461021
>I definitely am tighter, and my arch feels a lot more stable with CGBP
That's pretty common, at least in my experience.

Do you have somebody giving you a hand off when you're doing Max grip? I feel like it's easier to stay tight unracking for yourself with close-grip.

You can also try to focus on strengthening your upper back. Face pulls, inverted rows, dumbbell rows, barbell rows, band pull aparts, until you can maintain a tighter back with a wider grip

>>40457357
I did Sheiko as an intermediate and it felt like overkill. I could progress on much simpler, more 'fun' (for me) programming like I currently am now.
Yeah even though there are Sheiko programs for different stages of training, that methodology was designed for end game lifters and world champions that Boris coached.
I mean if you enjoy that style of training and it's getting you gains by all means go ahead. But it shouldn't be your first choice as soon as you've finished SS or TM.

>>40461086
IMO looking at a lift and saying 'oh I stall at X point, Y muscle must be weak' is not a good way of analyzing things*

>>40461045
Oh cool I'll give it a try then

>>40460928
Unless you have a stupid high arch, closer grip is better.

>>40461086
Interesting, I'm willing to admit I could have came to a wrong conclusion, I'm not entirely sure on the bio mechanics between the two.
I've been under the impression that CGBP is tricep dominant, as well as that there should be a fair difference between the two presses, while mine are effectively the same in strength?

I'm not quite sure what to take from this, or what to work on?

Perhaps it is just tightness and form?
>>40461094
Often I do have a spot, but you're definitely right that its easier to stay tight on the unrack.
Why not, I'll work on my row for a while and see what happens, this very well could be the case.

>>40461199
You should probably just work on getting lots of upper body volume in including accessories, perfecting your bench form (higher arch, tightness) and eating more. Those 3 are the best ways to improve your bench. Especially the last one

>>40457357

the premade programs are probably very overrated, and mediocre

the whole point of sheiko is to hammer in on your weaknesses & technique with lots of variations and assistance work

but without a coach there looking at you every training session, and modifying the program accordingly, i don't think it's that good

most of the people who do the programs would probably do completely different ones if sheiko himself coached them

and i don't mean a few variations here and there, i mean a completely different program altogether

>>40461114
I would like to strongly and on ironically upvote this post, as this is my experience as well.

Sheiko is one of the best types of programs to run when you can't make progress doing much of anything else. However, despite being optimal for some lifters, it is not always an enjoyable way to train.

Most people can't handle the grind year-in and year-out doing that kind of programming.

holy shit blueshoes has autism1

Isn't it nice when people who actually lift weights get to discuss their experiences of lifting weights together?

>>40461231
I agree with you wholeheartedly, but I feel like I'm making a fundamental mistake with my bench. 110kg at 95kg, 6'0 with a 5'9 wingspan isn't good at all.

And I've hit a nasty plateau, despite benching 4x a week with as best form as I can.

Definitely do not disagree at all, I just feel like I'm making a big mistake somewhere and I'm not sure what, ya know?

what did you lift today?

I pulled a very easy 195kg single on flatback deadlift followed by 177.5x6x3. everything was @7 or so, a little under what Mike prescribed but it's ok imho.

2ct bench and lunges went well too

>>40461376
Yea I see where you're coming from. Maybe you should look towards changing your programming up

>>40461386
>What's the reasoning behind this?
There is no reasoning since max width is better for almost everyone. Less ROM and isn't limited by the triceps as much. Anecdotally I find wide grip easier on the shoulders but that could be that I don't have the mobility to retract them that much with a closer grip.

>advice from a guy that actually benches
This the new plg lads

(((Not strictly powerlifting related but kinda is)))

For a while I would like to improve solely on my snatch-grip deadlift.

Is it a problem if I drop conventional dead lifts and work on my SGDL? Will my conventional dead lift improve linearly alongside my SGDL?

>>40461748
If you have a weakness in your back/electors I think your conventional will probably get stronger. I doubt it will get weaker either way though. How long are you swapping the movements and why?

I can see poutine's house from here

>>40461748
I've actually been doing this with snatch grip deficit deadlifts for the past month. My SGDDL has gone from 100kg at max to 150kg at max, and despite not training the movement at all, my conventional pull has gone from 200 to 220. Very pleased with it.

My back squat has also jumped from 140 to 165 which makes me think conventional deadlifting twice weekly was really holding me back.

>>40461798
I would say until I've added 10-20kg to my snatch grip deadlift.
Primarily reason is erector weakness; I've noticed huge improvements in mobility and strength with movements like pendlay rows and RDLs since strengthening my erectors.

I'd just like to take my SGDL up to more rounded number to carry over to my hip hinging movements.

Time wise, likely a month or so.

>>40461829
I'm set, you've convinced me to do it.

Thank you both lads!

>>40461829
As an addendum I should point out that A: I do SGDDLs thrice weekly and B) much of that strength gain has been figuring the movement out and getting my grip right. I also had a severe hamstring weakness which seems to finally be being brought up

>>40461829
Your max SGDL was only 100kg when you could pull 200 conventional? That seems like a huge gap.

>>40461855
Still amazing improvement, I'd be excited to milk half that progression!

>>40461862
My grip was awful and I was trying to use double overhand. Then I switched to straps, and then finally just settled on mixed grip. Was a mess.

>>40461890
Mixed grip snatch Grip? There's no way that wasn't awkward as hell

I love doing dips, what's a good protocol to progress them? Has anyone here found that it helps their bench?

>>40462058
Dips are definitely gonna help your bench and its a supplemental movement so just try to push it and see how many reps you get. Stop at an rpe 9 and try to beat that next time

>>40462058
Some well known benchers did them extremely heavy. I would follow a Pat Casey routine.

>>40461845
why arent you doing back extensions?

dynamic > isometric

rdls and pendlays wont do much for erector strength if you're not a complete newbie

>>40462026
>irrelevant
No, your fucking advice is though

>>40462089
I disagree sorry!

>>40462058
Personally I like to do 3-5 sets bodyweight AMRAP.

I used to do weighted dips, but it started causing me issues.

For one, it was really hard to do a solid weighted dip session after heavy benching. Just a lot of fatigue to deal with,.

Secondly weighted dips caused me a lot of elbow tendinitis issues. That cleared right up once I stopped doing weighted and just went with bodyweight.

>>40462100
Nice response faggot, that sure convinced me.

>>40462058
warm up thoroughly before you do them lad

>>40462129
Not trying to convince you, just calling out your bs

>>40462058
Megs centre of mass isn't mid foot so she leans back when it gets heavy to correct it.

She can fix this by balancing on a 5lbs plate directly under her mid foot.

>>40462175
Calling me out would involve you actually saying anything besides "you're wrong and you're probably trappy too" or "u suck lmao". You're just shitposting.

>>40462195
loool
decently strong girl has long af legs and a squat style to match
surely her romaleos aren't doing a good enough job, she should train powerlifting standing half on on top of tiny platforms

>>40462195
When you have all that mass in the ass its hard to keep your center of gravity in the middle

>>40462214
What I said is fact

Sad!

>>40462231
no one should squat on top of plates

>>40462242
I agree with this unless its a beginner and they squat next to nothing. Once you're squatting some real weight, then standing on those plates is an injury risk

>>40462242
>>40462261
You do it during warm-up to correct bar path

The issue is that Megan is leaning back to correct the centre of mass, which is horribly inefficient.

I'm not suggesting she maxes out on a 2.5kg plate lmao

I can't believe that's what you thought I said

>>40460032

>>40462377
please trust me

This is the only time I've known the issue firsthand

This was supposed to be my time to shine :(

>>40461748
>>40462359
Initially you won't be but it will lead to easier progression after you go back to training the normal movement. Specificity in action.

>>40462392
Kek I just don't agree, look at her knees they damn near high five each other. That's definitely the root of the problem

Newfag here, Just decided to get into powerlifting and wanted to know what kind of diet I should start out with?

>>40462423
The eat everything diet

>>40462285
>national level competitor
lel who the fuck isn't

>>40462423
Diet doesn't necessarily matter just eat in a caloric surplus, go for .8-1g per lb of bodyweight for protons and fill the rest with crabs and farts. Try to eat relatively healthy but I don't think it makes a huge difference if you gotta shovel a pizza down your throat to reach what you need calorically

>>40462423
that's the worst question i've ever heard
read the fucking sticky

>>40461800

Eat a balanced diet but with extra protein thrown in. Eat less if you're fat, eat more if you're skinny or normal weight.

There's another one that's tighter on your face that starts before the lift, so you shift from looking completely normal to looking like you're in a god damn centrifuge.
