ive been tempting fate for ages i think the bench was only rated to about 220 total weight?

was an awful looking set desu my arch wasnt big enough and i hit the safeties but the power was certainly there

Shit that video is even better than the way it was described.

>>40583406
watching it back is funny, im surprised i stayed so calm

nice to be strong enough to break something

>>40583388
ayyy lmao
Tbh the bench already looked like a decline in the flat position, surprised you even got 3 reps before it happened

>MUTE THE VIDEO
never i missed these distorted ear destroying videos

>>40583426
going to buy one rated 350kg

ill never bench 240 so im golden

>>40583436
Don't you need to take your bodyweight into account though?

>>40583388
Did he died?

just finished my first sheiko week, inflated bench and squat by 5kg because im an ego faggot. im looking forward to all this fatigue and exploding shoulders everyone talks about.

>>40583446
yeah, 350-110=240

so ill be able to bench upto 240 on it

>>40583436
probably better the get a solid flat bench too unless you really want the adjustment

>>40583505
i would, but im doing conjugate so ill be rotating in incline and seated press

got two options
https://www.strengthshop.co.uk/equipment/benches/deluxe-utility-bench.html

http://www.powerhouse-fitness.co.uk/bodymax-cf430-heavy-duty-flat-incline-decline-bench.php

the bodymax one is cheaper by £50 and is rated higher but doesnt look as sturdy

I'm taking a shit right now and it's rather greasy

looking into the toilet I'm surprised by how much shit actually came out really didn't feel like all that came out

>>40583581
Yeah I get that sometimes

>>40583556
The powerhouse one looks cheap as fuck, I wouldn't trust that over 200.

>>40583556
Any way you could get some support under the upper part of the back pad? Looks like neither will be particularly stronger than what you just broke.

>>40583600
Wish I could arch like that.

>>40583616
the strengthshop one lies flat on the frame so has more support for flat bench

seated isnt a problem as the weight isnt going into the backrest and incline im not handling anything big

if its rated for 350 it should hold 350, or ill get my money back, im probably going to go for the strength shop one

>>40583646
>the strengthshop one lies flat on the frame
yeah definitely that then

>>40583646
>lies flat on the frame
Definitely get that one.

Drop £100 on a fucking stereo or something while you're at it too maybe? :^)

im not going to count it as a failed rep, i didnt fail the bench did

>>40583779
W-what, I meant the speaker, Marshall Kilburn.

But yeah, you had that rep.

>>40583779
yeah sorry i was just venting

i think 180 is there for a paused single, got 11 weeks to add make sure

>>40583824
you already benched 180 9 months ago raw what happened?

when are open men 83 93 105 competing? anyone have link to the stream? and dont give me that piece of shit malware infested topkek100 cytube shit either

>>40583831
was touch and go not paused

im not going to overhype my lifts anymore because i know theres a load of variables when it comes to competing that you dont get in the gym

travel, hotels, different benches, potential for a rushed warm up, hurried onto the platform, random doing a hand out, different bench on the platform to the warm up area, width of plates, the list goes on

4 weeks out ill take a paused single, whatever that is ill do 90% 97% 104-5% as my attempts on the day

>>40583889
yeah but youre on the juice and went from 180x1 raw to 180x3 with a slingshot in 9 months
why are you so shit

What is the purpose of inflating maxes? Gonna start a periodised program for the first time and do all of my reps paused but use my non-paused maxes, because I'm not happy with my bouncy reps, so will it be like I'm inflating my maxes.

>>40583942
It's insane how uneducated people are on juicy juice. Nuckols wrote a great article on this. Roids don't help as much as you'd think

Need a new barbell as my 6ft one doesn't have enough space for the weights I'm getting to without them falling off mid set.

Do 7ft bars have longer sleeves than 6ft bars?
Is there a difference between power bars and olympic bars?
Is there a reason besides marketing for the wide range of prices of bars? If I get the cheapest bar I can find will I regret it?

>>40584207
Ive bent 4 cheap bars, and that was with 220 and under, oly bars, especially cheap ones arent built to take any sort of weight

Yes the sleeves are longer

>>40584259
Why the fuck aren't oly bars made to take weight?

You may not be reliable with bench recommendations (lmao) but if you could link a decent bar at a good price I'd be eternally grateful. I train in my garage too.

>>40584288
(c) Regardless of the load rating of the bar, please choose the bar most appropriate for the type of lifting it will be getting used for. For the bars rated to 700lbs we generally do not recommend going above around 200kg. For the weightlifting/bastard bars we advise up to 120kg for clean/jerk/snatch or any similar lift where the bar would be dropped from height. Anything heavier than this and we would recommend Strength Shop Elite Weightlifting bars. TheStrength Shop Weightlifting bar(s) and bastard bars, whilst rated to 1500lbs, are essentially weightlifting bars, and we would not recommend using it for very heavy squats/deadlifts (roughly 250kg+. For this we would always recommend the The Bastard Power or the Texas bars). The Bastard Power Bar is recommended for use up to 340kg deadlift and 300kg squat. We never recommend dropping bars when deadlifting, the bar should always be lowered to the floor in a controlled manner.

From strengthshops terms

Their power bar is the best priced power bar in the uk, not as strong as the texas bar, but thats £400 over here, the strengthshop one will take 340 dead 300 squat as stated above

>>40584402
Sumner squats 505 single ply 2m wraps

Multiply record with 3m wraps and untested is 571


If we are believing that he is natty then adding 2 more plys, a meter to knee wraps and drugs gets 66kg

Goes to show these things dont add as much as people think

>>40583691
Where is Blaine's fucking limit? Holy shit, 10 years ago this would've been inconceivable.

What a God.

>>40584472

Sumner says himself he doesn't get very much out of the suit and wraps as everybody else does. Other people get 50-60kg more out of it than he does.

Sumner is just a monster.

>>40583388

>>40584318
>£400
i could buy three years of gym membership for that insanity.

those 700lb rated bars - what's the price for those?

thanks

>>40584503
>Sumner says himself he doesn't get very much out of the suit and wraps as everybody else does
Ya but his best raw is like 80kg lower than his best equipped

>>40584524

And other dudes get 100-150kg out of the wraps and suit.

>>40584472
It's harder to hit depth in multiply. There are guys who unrack 1300 and can't get down.

>>40584520
It clearly says dont put over 200kg on them

Home gyms require some investment, you buy a good bar it will last forever

>>40584543
Considering Donnie is the only person afaik to attempt 1300 i dont think so

>>40584552
i guess i could always increase my reps and not ever go near maximum until meets. i'll take my chances. i'd feel far too guilty spunking 400 quid on a barbell

>>40584582
>implying you will never be repping over 200kg

youve already lost lad

>>40584597
good. no need to get the expensive bar then.

by the way
>implying i don't rep almost 190kg on the squats

>>40584582
Im not saying buy a texas bar, the strengthshop power bar is £260 and for 99% of people will be more than enough for a lifetime

>>40584613
oh god, i might just have to get it.

for fucks sake.

>>40584531
Tbh that's usually because of detraining of the raw lifts.

>>40584524
when did he last peak for raw tho

>>40584613
I need a texas bar. I'm now garagecousin, and I'm using a pendlay WL bar with 810mm rings drawn on in permanent marker.

>>40584562
You aren't some kind of pl expert bro.

https://youtu.be/e4-VgM6XtRA

>>40584472
I don't think you can make any conclusions from one person. Fredrik Svensson have benched like 220 kg raw(strict) and did 400 eq at nats a few years ago. Fredrik Smulter bench at least 270 kg raw and has done like 1 kg more than Svensson eq. The differences are huge between different lifters.

>>40584650
Lol you lifting in a garage now? Your dad's?

The gear gets better all the time. Equipment and drugs.

>>40584650

>>40584702
Drugs dont get better? People are taking the same stuff they have always taken

Test deca and tren are peoples staples and oxys/halo around comp

All that changes is dosing of gear and thats down to having the right contacts

Texas Power bar is basically a noodle bar. So much whip

>>40584670
Yeah gonna split my training between that and OUPLC because the OUPLC gym is hilariously rubbish. I'm literally going to have to buy iron plates for them.

>>40584651
Lmao. Single ply still looks like a squat. This is something else.

>>40584906
I've trained with a TPB and you are confusing it for a TDLB.

>>40584886
hello george, i hope you are having a good evening

could you expand on the people you are associating with that are doping

thank you

>>40584923
kek multiply honestly gives powerlifting a terrible name. Single ply and raw is all that should be called powerlifting

>>40584651
Not saying i am, i said as far as i know!

Very few people have, and 1300lbs will force you to depth regardless of how tight your suit is, getting up is the issue

>>40584886
They say its good for 340 dead 300 squat, but ive seen delroy mcqueen squatting 320 with it, theyre probably erring on the side of caution for recommendation

It will hold up and is a great price

They still take them because they still work!

>>40584906
Texas deadlift bars bend, ive put 320 on for rack pulls and it barely flexed

>>40584931
It definitely is not as stiff as an ohio power bar.

>>40584945
Thats cause louie wanted ridiculous specs to take 1000lbs benches

Question about greg nuckols.

He mentions increasing lifts by 5-10 lbs a month. But where is the sense in increasing the bench at the same rate at the deadlift (or better yet, if you choose to use a bench program for OHP, having the rate of increase for deads and OHP the same)?

pros/cons of training bench paused?

>>40585718
Hasn't the grand prix been over for a while? Shouldn't we have results on ray by now then

>>40585729

Cons-probably use less weight

anyone have this repeating cycle where 2 months training goes well and you make gains then 1 month you regress for some reason. I'm in that month right now

>>40585729
not wholly relevant to bench per se, but my close grip bench feels immensely easier and more natural if i do it paused. hardly even feels like the same exercise and i used to dislike it before i tried it paused.

might as well try bench press paused and see if something similar happens to you.

Kind of a long shot asking here but whatever, someone might have an idea

So stone and sandbag lifting is both hardcore and (probably) older than recorded history.
But I don't have any bigass stones or sandbags handy.

I'm trying to brainstorm some sort of loadable sack to use as a training implement. I figure I can get 40-60lb bags of whatever-I-can-find for pretty cheap, but I'm not sure what I could load those in so that they're one solid mass.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm a bit lost

It's gotta be loadable and fucking heavy as shit. I don't want no 90lb bag that's weak as shit and boring.

If you want to make it heavier take some sand and dirt out and replace it with shot

It's not fucking nitpicking I'm asking for something fairly specific but people are just confused because I mentioned sandbag lifting. Im trying to make a bigass bulky heavy sack of shit weighing more than me.take Arthur Saxon and his big ass bulky bag of shit as an example.

I have a concept already: a thicker sack that can be loaded with smaller sack of gravel or sand. I just need to know what material I can buy that will hokd up.

>>40586327
it's not
Ray got 1052lbs, Malanichev's record stands at 1069lbs

>>40586498
idk man buy bags of rice, buy a bag of some sort to hold in the smaller bags (so that you can adjust the weight)
all you need to figure out then is how to attach a handle, and how to make the bigger bag able to open/close and still not rip open while you throw it

I deadlifted for the first time in my life yesterday and my lower back hurts whenever I move anything around it. Is that normal or is it because I fucked up the lift?

>>40586534
Is it just a sore type of pain or a shooting/stabbing type of pain?

>>40586520
Hahaha that's literally what I asked for in my first post, ideas on what to use to load 50lbs sacks into a bigger bulky mass

>>40586264
>I'm trying to brainstorm some sort of loadable sack to use as a training implement. I figure I can get 40-60lb bags of whatever-I-can-find for pretty cheap, but I'm not sure what I could load those in so that they're one solid mass.

I'm gonna reword my shit since it apparently confused the fuck out of people and ask on some diy forums.

>>40586557
A bit of both I suppose, but it seems too sharp to be soreness

>>40586574
Well if it doesn't start getting better after about 24 hours then that's usually a sign you fucked something up and it's time to go see a doctor.

>>40586495

did he have a seizure?

>>40586586
welp
thanks anon

>>40586591
I think he pinched a nerve in his lower back causing him immense pain. Also imagine having 900 lbs of weight on your back and not being able to get up.

>>40586591
Looks like he just had trouble to get away from the bar and panicked because he was stuck.

>>40586785
Do you know what diddle he needs for total WR

>>40586815
The wr total is 861 so he'll need a 307,5 kg diddily.

>>40586504
So less than 10kg? Fuck me.

>>40586843
Wow, he could definitely hit that. He's hit over 310 on deadlift before right?

>>40586879
I think his PR is around 320-325. He's gonna absolutely annihilate the wr for two weeks until Wierzbickzki competes in yuros and pulls 400.

just got back from competing at the arnold????

>>40583388

I'm 99% sure I could build a better bench out of shit I could get from Home Depot for under $100, using tools in my dad's garage.

>>40586947

Try again

4x2 then 9 reps on my +set with 2 plate

The bench gains train keeps rolling on lads

>>40586968
sure but you cant break world records

>>40587026
You literally can
Jizza broke the squat wr at oceanias
Jihad el-arabi broke handcocks squat wr at africans

Anyone else stronger with a closer grip. Just went from max grip to 4-6 inches in and a lot stronger. Is max grip a meme or do I just have a weakness I need to target?

>>40587109
How long did you take to bring your grip out? From what finger did you start? And you could have weak shoulders/chest.

>>40587133
Ive been doing max grip for months. Probably 2-3 moved my grip in today just for the fuck of it and smashed my set @7 rpe as opposed to the 8-8.5 before it w/max grip.

>>40587145
Arms are pretty damn long. I lockout deadlifts @knee-mid thigh

>>40587139
Which finger did you start from before starting to move your grip out? How hard/much do you arch? Do you have videos of yourself benching with max grip and the grip width you just used?

>>40587145
I have long arms and max grip has been the best for me

>>40587001
I keep seeing you post these, gimme some stats nigga, youre making me want to quit my TM bodybuilding split and go back to the DUP
>tfw PR'd every single week like you are now before shoulder went to shit

>>40586498
Those are called sandbags.

>>40587158
Yeah that'll do it

>>40587169
No videos unfortunately and I was benching pinky finger on the rings. My OHP is crazy low also so maybe shoulder weakness is right

>>40586815
>>40586785

>>40587182
2-3 months is about fine for moving your grip out time wise. Max grip is super shoulder intensive, my front delts exploded from Sheiko, while my chest grew, but not nearly as much relative to my shoulders.

>>40587169
Long arms relative to your body=/= long arms period, the bar is always the same length and iirc you're a turbo manlet?

>>40587209
So would you say I keep trying max or stay close grip and work on shoulder/chest strength. I'm doing project momentum and Mike t has a lot of push Press volume in it

>>40587214
5'9 with 6' wingspan, hardly turbo manlet

>>40587203

thx bros, so this stream switches between different platforms?

>>40587247
no, this is only the current PL event (the one with Garrett Blevins, Ls McClain, Ray Williams, Kelly Branton)
Grand Prix didn't get streamed and it's already over anyway

strongman stream will hopefully start again later when the next event starts

>>40587226
>hardly turbo manlet
shit lad 5'9 is tall as fuck

>>40587225
I don't think I'm experienced enough to give you an answer. The best way to build strength in a specific movement pattern is to do that movement pattern. However, not everyone will be stronger with a max grip, even given enough time to train it, and generally you want to train in the way you'll be/are strongest. But if I had to pick, I'd say bench the way you're strongest for PM.

>>40587269
oh, so its for best wilks?

>>40587301
indeed
although idk if lifters are actually trying to get higher in the wilks rankings, most seem to just compete "within" their weight class

>>40587281
I think I'll move my grip in for the time being. Also don't sell yourself short, your squat and dead are shit but your bench is pretty damn good.

>>40587199
If he's doing it the way I think then its basically a 2-day DUP with
Day 1
6x4 Spoto/1 ct pause bench with last set tng amrap
Day 2
5x2 tng with last set amrap
Start day 1 and 2 at around 70 and 80% respectively and add 2.5kg per week, resetting when the reps become too grindy.

Does anyone know why the fuck Pritchett didn't win the deadlift when he pulled 1030? Did he take it as a fourth? Just doesn't make any sense

>>40587343
Don't confuse strength for experience senpai. I appreciate the complement though :)

>>40587397
This seems like inferior spotoshot

>>40587442
yes it was a 4th attempt to break the record, apparently it did not count toward the competition

>>40587475
Why bench 4x week if you can make steady gains on 2x?

>>40587502
Fair point
Because Id probably struggle to make steady gains on a 2x personally

>>40587502
>Muscle protein synthesis only really continues for 48 hours after training
If you want to be growing all the time you could be benching up to every 48 hours

>>40587518
Try the DUP i outlined with an easy 3x8 starting at 60% on the middle day then. Thats 3x frequency plus as the weights get slowly heavier its decent weekly volume.

>>40587548
i mean i already have my own program that's working but thank you for the suggestion

>>40584472
almost as if multiply is a niche for retards that attracts less talent

let me borrow some of your power for about 90 minutes please plg

>>40587666
alex u have too much power i'm keeping it
in fact i think u owe me at least a little bench gains

Trying to work on speed off the floor

Deadlift
>80% x3 60-80 second rests
>repeat until bar speed noticably slows

10-15 active rest (walking around blacked out from moving heavy deadlift really fast)

Power Shrugs from floor
>Idunno% x3-4 60-80second rests
>Repeat until bar speed noticably slows

Active rest until ready for next exercise

Slightly cheaty but not pete rubish cheaty Rows from floor
>Idonthaveamaxforthis% x3 60-80 second rests
>Repeat until you start really cheating

All of these focusing entirely on moving the bar as fast as possible.

Sound like a good workout?

>>40587666
Ok Alex use it well

>>40587678
y not just do coan/phillipi

>>40587689
I like taking matters into my own hands. So if I succeed or fail, at least I learned something about myself.

I like a certain amount of autoregulation so that I'm not anxious about getting every single rep and can focus on quality of movement.

>>40587666
You can have all of mine senpai. Good luck

>>40587199
This guy >>40587397 is basically right except the plan is to do it in 6 week blocks and restart at a higher point than the last. If things get tough I'll chuck in a deload week occasionally and a week to test maxes every now and then.

My bench 1rm I used to start was around 110 but it was a rough estimate as I was coming off a surgery and a break.


I've copied caditos upper body set/rep scheme for accessories too just because I quite like it.

As for Sq/Dl I've tried to make a version like this. I run an upper/lower split right now. I like it but I'm not fully happy with my lighter day yet so still playing around with it.

>>40587784
oh and if anyone has ideas for a 2x sq/dl day similar to this I'd like to see their thoughts

>>40587778
Basically it's like a power clean except the weight is too heavy to clean and you don't triple extend or try and get under the bar. Just gdt the thing as high as possible with your traps and posterior chain.

Just needed something that's lighter than a full deadlift but had some incentive for speed.

>>40587820
clean pulls?

>1105 kg total
>1105 kg total
>1105 kg total
Is there anything Ray "Ray Ray" Williams can't do?

>>40587877
hit depth

... just kidding (a little)

>>40587838
I don't Olympic lift, link a video of a clean pull and I can yeigh or neigh

>>40587889
For a giga SHW like ray, he sinks solid depth

>>40587877
Probably live past 60

>>40587913
Yes that's it.

I tried to put more emphasis on posterior chain to mimic the DL though, looks like he's almost got a bit of a second pull where he levers under.

Why do powerlifters use weightlifting shoes?

>>40587913
>>40587977
And I dont extend ankles I keep weight solidly over midfoot.

>>40583388
I'm sorry but this is borderline Darwin awards. You deliberately bench almost double the weight limit on an old bench that's almost broken anyway and looks more like a decline it's so fucked. And you do it alone. In your garage. So that when your mum/gf finds your snapped neck shed then have to watch a video of your death.

Congrats. You are a retard.

>>40587877

>1026 on the squat alone

Worst powerlifter ever. He's just a Squatter

>>40587991
Because they're useful in getting a bigger arch when benching and some people like squatting in heels.

>>40587996
except he did it in a power rack and it did exactly what it was intended to do so.. no not really
>>40587991
because they look cool

>>40588002

You don't need an elevated heel in powerlifting. You keep your shins vertical in the low bar squat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3USZnfM5rC0

>>40588021
says who

>>40588021
Different people squat differently, and a vertical shin angle isn't always the best option for people. I squat much better in heels than I do flats with low bar.

>>40588039

Physics

>>40588050
anatomy disagrees

>>40588021
Oh wow thanks for the info! You should make sure to pass that on to all those misguided elite level athletes

I'd rather not.

>>40588009
There are a million ways he could have fucked himself up badly when that bench snapped. He got lucky.

Hello,
I have very VERY flat feet, and every time I do squats it feels like someone is pressing a hotknife onto my soles.
What do?

>>40588107

If he dropped the heels and squatted low bar, he'd probably squat 285

>>40588112
would have been something like shoulders/elbows, not death
>>40588111
fair enough

>>40588071
Alex is a STUPID NIGGER

>>40588071
You got this senpai

>>40588092
Also you're implying that a vertical shin angle isn't possible with heeled shoes, and that simply isn't true. But regardless, there are plenty of people that squat low bar with lots of knee travel, ie Heather Connor

>>40588147
fat retard, it is bait
and if it isn't bait, it is too retarded to be reasoned with

>>40588126
I don't personally consider "not dying" to be a great indicator of a safe and successful lift. Snapping your elbows isn't a small thing. The poster is an idiot and should get a proper bench set up or buy a gym membership

>>40588155
I'm bored and it's giving me something to do

>>40588160
I don't think anyone claimed it was safe and successful. It was dumb as shit
But he wasn't going to die like you claimed.
>>40588169
U do u

Looked about the exact same as last time. Got it all the way up but it started sliding out of my wraps at the top again. Came up a hair easier this time though, so that's good. Didn't get a video because the attendant girl was watching because there are like 2 people here. Pretty damn confident that I could do it and have proper lockout with chalk and decent bar.

>>40588169
Sorry, but he's right. I'm baiting.

I've taken 10mgs of oxycontin and 10 mgs of oxycodone along with a muscle relaxant. I'm too high to not bait right now.

I actually squat highbar but my squat does increase with low bar - it's just hell on my shoulders.

>>40588189
Proud of you :)
