Squat is best lift

>>40571648
squat and bench are both limblet territory

deadlift was the domain of lanklets but now that sumo is a thing that advantage is much much smaller

PL is not a lanky man's game

its not about height its about limb to torso ratio.

barely have to bend down, can cover a lot of distance with legs, big hands can hold many rocks

Why not? As long as you retain athletic proportions, the only downside is needing more food.

Get a granola bar and some greek yogurt. It's what I do when I don't have any other choices. It should hold you off until 7PM.

I know this is a powerlifitng thread but I'm trying to get as much strength as possible. My end goal is bodybuilding but Im currently in ICF 5x5 ( 3x5 riight now for cut) but have already hit 3 plate squat, 4 plus plate Deads/Rack pulls, close to 1 plate OHP, and a shitty bench of 200. What program should I do directly after ICF? Or SS as they are almost identical

Im so fucking sick of this bullshit plg. I've been dealing with chronic back pain since my mid twenties and thought I was past it. Switched to sumo and cut depth on squats because of it

I pay exquisite attention to my form. Last week I was just getting over being sick and went back in the gym to hit up some deadlifts. Wouldn't you fucking know it on my first rep of 455 i feel a "pop" and movement in my spine right at knee level. 455 is like 78 FUCKING %.

God dammit just want to fucking leave this fucking earth for good. Now I cant straighten up all the way and i feel like an old man when i stand up.

Doing pressups and shit but afraid to even touch a weight again. Just fuck my shit up senpai

>>40574520
Because I have no fucking idea what I'm doing, every fucking video I watched was completely different. I fucking hate meme lifts.

>>40574601
Sorry to hear that anon. Even with shit tier injury resistance genes you've still managed to get really strong. Don't give up please

>>40574612
Just do a stiff leg deadlift and put your hands into a snatch position. Not that hard.

>get through airport security with dip belt in carry on
Great success

>>40574601
Sometimes shit just happens senpai, not your fault. You'll get better soon, best of luck and hope you have a speedy recovery

>>40574638
Everytime I get injured I just fucking die a little inside. Now my girlfriend is saying i should quit lifting for good, and my parents are always on my case because they know my history.

I can't even talk to them about it anymore because they'll all just be like "STOP LIFTING, WE DONT WANT TO HEAR YOU COMPLAIN". They literally don't get it.

This is the third time my back has "gone out" in maybe 3 years, and its always some mundane shit. Last time I was literally pulling slack out of the fucking bar and felt a pop. Now I'll probably have to wait another 3-6 monhts and do lunges and bridges and pussy machines while I wait.

I'm thinking about hopping on some test HGH and EQ or something and just saying fuck it, at this point

Competing in strongman etc next summer, but can't wait to get back to PLG. I think strongman training will do good for my core strenght and mindset.

Also tested bench with legs up for fun and hit 190kg even after dieting 20kg and I have not benched for 3 months.
Record PLG style is 202kg, but I was 22kg heavier.

I honestly didnt feel it until I I deadlifted 3 days after @ 80% + 60 chains

take into memory that I have had a glute med grade 3 strain (that means it tore all the way through)

heres the story
>deadlifting
>at commercial gym
>deadlifting in a squat rack facing wall, plenty of space to side and back
>practicing hook grip, needed straps at 70% to hold onto deadlifts
>asshole is picking weights off squat rack ahead of me
>when coming back runs into my bar/weight and makes the bar twist
>I cannot let go
>twisting with bar
>hear loud snap and gerchunk
>try to stand to kick this assholes faggot ass and realize I cannot stand
>look and see my usually abnormally (no homo) glutes are shriveled in a ball on the top of my femur
>8 months of no squats or deads + feet up in bench

this is why I never go to commercial gyms

P.S. I sued the man since it was on camera and won 6 figs

>>40574724
Ur hot... j-just saying...

>>40574664
But I thought stiff leg deadlift is with straight legs, but I can't reach the bar with straight legs so I started doing some abomination struggling to keep my back straight. I think I'm too stupid for powerlifting. What is good sport for retards.

you can slip a disc stretching with on resistance

you can pick up a pencil from the ground and slip one

you either do not reguarly keep care of your spine with mobility/flexability/prehab/check ups (chiro + x ray + therapy) or you are just REALLY unlucky

youre a PT who constantly hurts your back to the point where you need 6 months of no activity... and this is helping your argument how?

chiro isnt a meme, its a supplement to therapy. It is never a standalone like some chiros like to say.

For me, I have my t7 ribs pop out which makes it hard to brace or breath, let alone lift because I have done 10 years of judo and jui jitsu

I have my chiro pop em back in and I can lift that day

I think I also like the relief it brings to my SI joint, but that is with soft tissue work, stretching, massage, e-stim/ultrasound also being paired with it

tl;dr
its overrated but still good on a small scale

My end goal is bodybuilding but as a natty I need max strength. Will start Monday. How long were you guys on before stalling? I heard you can stall pretty fast on bench and dead

>>40574835
>>40574890
I do all the right things, I just think genetics has screwed me over honestly. I chose my profession because of my injury history, just could never completely get rid of it.

Physical therapy isn't a cure but it certainly helps with my episodic flare ups. It's just disheartening that at my level of education, there isn't a more permanent solution other than "stop lifting"

>>40574724
Thicc bby

>>40574947
For a very long time I would only bench 2 times a week of 3x5 then when I did TM I began to build some strength a lot faster because of the 5x5, so I dropped bench on TM to run Nuckols bench in tandem with TM for squat/dead which is how I got to 185. I honestly made the bulk of all my bench gains just from maybe two months of Nuckols before hopping on Sheiko.
I think I should add that now I run Large Load for bench on sheiko even though everything else is medium.

I bought some nose tork

What would happen if I ate the ammonia crystal's?

I got some ammonia juice on my finger and gave it taste and it wasn't too bad

guys, how do i relearn to squat? i have been looking straight ahead, or slightly down, in the mirror when squatting but i want to be able to squat without a mirror. however all the racks at my gym has a mirror in front of it.

I know it's bad. I thoroughly do not understand why total bros can bench 275 and barely squat 225lbs, and I'm all legs.
I have been told by a guy in the gym that what's holding me back is that my body has no experience benching heavy weight because the 205lbs attempt was the second time I ever maxed out for a 1 rep.

>>40574890
some people are really fucking injury prone m8
my current issue came on while taking time off for something else

> t7 ribs pop out which makes it hard to brace or breath,
is this like costocondritis? i have had it for 2 months, went to a physio twice who done nothing but a bit of a massage and a weak attempt at some adjustment so i gave up on physio, do i just need to find someone else? or is it really a different issue

i couldnt take deep breathes for the first few days, bit better now but its stopped improving and its really pissing me off

popping a rib back in is so easy for me I can do it to myself with a kettlebell

other adjustments need a professoinal, I have seen 8/10 chiros do a psuedo adjustment and do a shit job and call it a day.

>>40575185
Because rip teaches beginners. Once I was able to squat over 3pl8 looking down caused my lower back to round and make me lean forward.

>>40572942

>>40575230
As a PT, you're probably not experiencing ribs "going out of place". Its more likely you are inefficiently using muscles of respiration in your ribcage

Yeah neutral spine, but I have been told that my lowbar is lower than what normal people do, so that might have something to do with it? Who knows maybe I just have a shitty core that can't support the weight with a neutral spine.

durkz is back with another good one!

For some reason squats are very taxing for me, moreso than deadlifts even. Two reps of a working set and I'm sweating like a pig. I'm on a cut at the moment, so I have even less energy than usual. Since I'm cutting, I don't care about improving my squat atm, just maintaining my numbers as much as I can. My gym is literally walking distance from my house.

Question: is there anything wrong with doing everything *but* squats, going home, resting, then coming back later in the day and squatting? Program is SS by the way.

Also, are there better programs than SS for maintaining strength during a cut?

>>40576970
He could be injured and just not feel like announcing it
Or maybe he knew that there was no way that he'd be able to beat shaw and Mariusz
Or maybe he's just a a lazy fuck idk

I just came back from an adjustment

It was 10 minutes of assisted stretching, about 5 minutes worth of adjustments, 20 of massage and 10 of estim + ultrasound

if you went to any physiotherapist office, theyd at least do massage, stretch, and estim+ultra or some modality

in my situation, the adjustment let my ilipsoas, piriformis, and glute med relax when stretching and rolling 2-3x/day and hotbath didnt alleviate it.

What is the best rate of bulking for somebody who has already been lifting a few years?
I'm pretty lean I'd say about 12% bodyfat so what's a good rate to bulk for strength gains but without gaining much/any fat? I was thinking 0.5lbs a week?
Pls help friendos :)

Trip on NAD/Poutine

is there such thing as too much bench volume

>>40579109
Yes

>>40579109
Yeah 4 days a week is sufficient, or 2-3 if you really blast volume each day

>>40579109
hell no

>>40579144
correct
>>40579143
>>40579131
wrong answer

>>40579109

Depends how much you like your shoulders.

>>40579163
only time i got shoulder issues was doing smolov jr and i barely even did back work. never even hurt the shoulders they just got tight

anyone know why my squat suddenly dropped? I was doing texas method, was making amazing gains, hitting prs at 370x5 etc. (high bar no belt). I then did a mock meet with some friends and hit 415. I took 1 week off after that to "deload", then slowly got back into texas method and today I could only get 350x5, I was feeling really weak. What do I do. Start again with like 340x5 and progress from there?

>>40579203
Sounds good
Could probably even jump 10lbs an intensity day if you feel better immediately

>>40579211
think is its been 2 weeks where I failed what I wanted on intensity day, which is not normal since prior to that I never really failed intensity. Idk what it is but anytime I take a slight break off squats I regress. Guess I'll just have to start again with 340x5. Feels like wasted time going back to where I was but oh well.

Is it ok to pair greg nuckols 3x a week bench intermediate program with TM for squats and deads?

In his ebook he says you can combine the 3x a week bench intermediate program with the 2x a week deadlift intermediate program and the 2x a week squat beginner program, but I'm seeing excellent lower body gains on the TM and would rather stay with it.

>>40582337
It's definitely ok.

>>40582349
Is this sarcasm

>>40582364
>>40582337

No, you can do it just fine.

what type of accessory work would you guys add to that 3x int med template? i feel like too much tricep/chest stuff on friday will probably sink me for the monday sessions

>>40582733

I did, it makes sense but it wasn't what I was expecting at all.

>>40582762

As far as accessories I added lat raises on days 1 and 3, curls on day 3, daily face pulls and OHP on my 4th training day of the week.

Is Badminton acceptable cardio?

>>40582857
So no back work? I (not him) was thinking of adding back work three times a week, probably 2x pull ups and 1x rows, on the bench days. Not sure if that's too much though

>>40581606
I went to london to look at the gym there

I am going to suffer to norsefat levels.

>>40582963

I did add some more rows on day 4, but there's already room for back work on deadlift day 1 and bench day 3, so you're doing back work all but one day.

>>40583012
>to norsefat levels
Seriously? You're gonna get drastically weaker and be consumed with your work while only being able to hit the gym 3 times a week?

>>40583017

>>40582711
Hope it was cleaner than his regular outro pull.
>>40582963
I used to do a vertical and/or horizontal pull every session, for whatever sets of whatever reps I felt like.
Think it would be better to choose alternate vertical/horizontal every session and use a weekly setup like Nuckols has for the other assistance (3 sets -> 4 sets -> 5 sets -> 2 sets).

>>40583150
That's bullshit. Even my tiny country's national championship had a livestream. And powerlifting here is not even popular enough to have lifters for every weight class.

>>40583237
I agree I don't see how one of the biggest PL events of the year isnt being streamed

>you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

>>40583250
>you fuckers always say he's aesthetic when lean as proof that powerlifting isn't dog shit for aesthetics
1. its an afterthought in powerlifting
2. isley is not the example we would use- that would probably be virtus
3.we dont have to prove anything- you dont want to do powerlifting dont do fucking powerlifting, its really that easy

>>40583275
you're right i guess man. im unironically sorry

just got 180kg bench for a triple with slingshot, but as i locked the third my bench completely broke, good thing i bench in a rack

>>40583173
correct me if i'm wrong but you are supposed to use some weight for 3 sets, then next week 4 sets, then next week 5 sets, then the final week you jump the weight up and do 2 sets of the new weight? thanks

>>40583286
this is my fear. i sometimes leave it outside to make room for squats and deadlifts which occasionally results in it getting wet from the rain. one of these days i am worried it will snap after rusting as i'm hitting a heavy set

>>40583291
Final week is 2 sets at the same weight as before. It's a light week. Then you increase the weight a bit when you start the 3-sets week again.

>>40583286

i had a similar scary experience this week

i noticed that my motorbike chain was worn as fuck and probably has been for months, and could have snapped at any moment, probably taking my leg off. thankfully a mechanic spotted it after cleaning the chain. i'm still slightly shaken

>>40583374
I laughed. Sorry.

>>40583378
>motorbike chain was worn as fuck
What'd it look like? You're scaring me.

>>40583413
one of the pins on the spring clip was so worn i couldn't even see it any more. the mechanic said he hadn't seen anything so dangerous in his 25 year career and that it should have snapped months before. that's what i get from buying my bike from a polish guy i guess.

also, someone provide some info on oly bars.

i have a 6ft oly bar whose sleeves are too short for me to do deadlifts without the plates falling off. will a 7ft bar's collars be longer?
also, what is the difference between a £50 bar and a £150 bar? is it just branding or will the £50 one crap out on me in some way

>>40583535

Can't be of any help re:bar, sorry. Ask in the new thread.
