/plg/ powerlifting general

supermang was a jerk

switched from 85% to 90% for my Texas Method volume days.. fuck it was hard. I mean I was in no fear of missing a rep but the last ones were hard.

Is this a good thing? Hoping it pays off. I think my volume days were way too light compared to my intensity. Doing 90% for volume and 80% of that for recovery day

Some times I feel like genetics isn't that important in powerlifting.
Then I see shit like this

Kevin oak has the shittiest fucking form on all 3 lifts yet continually hits PRs

>>40692878
he's a roidaroo

Gunna deflate my max to 90% for just this Sheiko deadlift session cause my back is already fatigued and I don't wanna snap anything plus I have a skills test Sunday, is this okay?

>>40692878

If someone reaches those kind of numbers without snapping their shit up then you have no business in telling his form is bad

>>40693041
Ummm no, I agree he is infinitely stronger than me but his form is absolute shit

Lads, I finally hit 3pl8 on squat for 2 reps, never tried such weight before.

Now only to get 4pl8 for DL and I got 1/2/3/4 in the bag.

So happy guys

>>40693344
if you do start again, please inform me so I can stop praying for you to do well in your first comp

>>40692856
Are you talking about squats? I find that the upper body can handle that intensity but at the higher squat numbers the hits are just too big at that kind of intensity.

However, I did the split template, meaning I had 3 days to recover from VD instead of your 4, so take that as you will.

no, hope you will injury your shit

what would happen to my lifts if the only exercise i got for two months was climbing?

I've know a lot of guys over my 20+ years of lifting who lived and died for the sport, and they all shared two characteristics- they were poor and they were stupid.

No one has ever really loved powerlifting, outside of the competitors. It never had the Olympic recognition of oly (it started out as "odd lifts" competitions"), and normal people have no appreciation for the weight being lifted. A strongman lifting a car? They can identify with that. 600 lbs on someone's back? They have literally no way to identify with that, so there is no appeal. On top of that, powerlifting meets are fucking torture, even for the competitors. I have read an entire novel at every meet I've done. Not out of enjoyment- out of boredom.
It's not the feds that ruin powerlifting- if that were the case, capitalism would fail for providing too many choices between brands (which is what feds are). It's not the divisions that ruin powerlifting- bodybuilding has half a million divisions and it does fine. Powerlifting will never be a money sport because no matter how much weight we lift, IT'S FUCKING BORING. The lifters have no personalities, slamming weights and freaking out are discouraged, and the meets are 22 hours long. The sport is fucking stupid. That is why it will never, ever, be the "money" sport some of you people think it should be.

>>40695241
That's why the natural course of a lifter who has proved himself to the best of his ability in the IPF arena is to move on to the fun shit in the lolfeds and do roids

>>40695241
>outside of the competitors
why would anything else matter?
if you stop enjoying it, pick a different hobby

>I have read an entire novel at every meet I've done. Not out of enjoyment- out of boredom.
yeah best to do that than talk the to rooms of people around you
corners are usually more comfy anyway right?

>bodybuilding does fine
does it
maybe im out of the loop but i know no one that is interested in actual competitive bodybuilding

There's absolutely no way I'll be doing 20% fatigue on SGDL and bench and two bench and back accessories, man....

>>40698247
Yes way - you can do it easily lad.

I have to hit a proper AMRAP set for bench tonight, so I can finally settle back the 3pl8 bench as 1 RM - those 3 months of no lifting really took some time to get back from.

I'm confident I can do it though, just like you can

Got back to squats today. Meant to do 5x5 @ 80 and only managed 3x5 and then a set of 3. Just felt so exhausted, not sure why. Maybe I'm just not used to it

Feels good though, no pain or anything so I'm probably good to get back to squatting and deadlifting regularly

>>40698291
Well it could be fun, but I don't think I have the capacity for it. 10% gets me top set + 4-5 down sets with time limit at 10 min, 14% gets me top set + 8 down sets with time limit at 15 min... Could give it a try one day tho, but I don't think this is the day for it.

3 months off for what?

Is anyone doing the project dietmeme?

Have fun with it,I made quite a lot of changes to it but I've been running the first 6 weeks for the last 6 months

>>40699507
Yeah I'm gonna swap the day 3 fronts for deads and do fronts or SSB after. Also tinkering with the idea of swapping out T1 OHP for some kind of benching.

>>40699550
Tbh I actually ran it only 6weeks for sq/dl because I'm coming off an injury and didn't really like the AMRAP work.
Now I'm doing Sheiko for sq/dl and JnT for upper body only.
At first I ran Bench,CGBP and OHP as T1 but I like to have an higher frequency on my comp bench so the last 3 cycles I ran Bench,CGBP,Bench as T1 and kept OHP as T2 after CGBP.

>>40699585
Did you get jacked?

>>40699631
>>40699585
WTF I hate you now!
I'm a bit bigger desu,but I still don't look like I lift.
In all seriousness the first 1-2 cycles I put on a lot of arm size but it has slowed down as of now.
I just probably need to eat more since I've been training 6days a week after starting Sheiko and I'm not gaining bw.

>>40699663
I'm probably just gonna do the first six weeks 2x, maybe 3, then jump to Sheiko or Dietmar. I could certainly stand to gain some weight so I figure a 12ish week J&T hypertrophy block plus a shitload of meat and pasta should do the trick.

>>40699701
>>40699663
I just hope to get insane gains on bench when I finally do a strenght block,so far I've been able to PR every cycle with a lot of fatigue.

It took me a bit to figure out the weight to use for the AMRAP but in a couple of weeks you'll get that down.
Also,first week is fucking hell if you're not accustomed to high rep stuff.

If you have any question just ask here,I'll probably read it since /plg/ is back to being pretty slow

How are my stats for 4 months?

>>40693362
leg length discrepancy maybe?

So, I keep hearing conflicting opinions on Sheiko programming. Even after trying to analyze each block for their specific purpose, I still can't fully decide on how Sheiko should be scheduled.

For me, I think it should go numerically: 29 (prep, high volume) - (30/31 interchangeabe depending on how you responded to 29's volume/intensity. If intensity was easier, go with 31; if volume, go with 30) - 32 (peak)

What's /plg/'s take on it?

>>40697624
Because you seem entertaining.

>>40700612
Just follow whatever excel sheet you find in the specific lifter level subsections on the sheiko forums. Those are put in the order Boris intended them, can't get more on point than that.

Why can't I lift with straps or a belt? I'm not a rookie I know exactly how and when to use them. It's just, I feel like they impair the fluidity of my motions, I've done all my personal bests raw, only with chalk. With accessories in able to lift 20% less.

Even the weightlifter dudes keep telling me not to experiment with my back like that since I'm not going to a competition or anything.

Belts are a meme dude, they really dont help that much if at all. If youre better without them, don't use them

Have you tried a 40 minute squat routine? it's a squat routine intensifier. 3 reps every 30 seconds for 40 minutes. don't focus on bringing the weight up, focus more on bringing the weight down slowly. you can put a resistance band around your ankles though. that will shift tension more to your quads. let me know what you think

i have a disc bulge. i'm doing mcgill every day and the pain is starting to go away, but when i come back i want to build back up slowly. seems like this routine is perfect for me? box squats less stressful on the lower back, same with trap bar deads. not sure about floor press though.

or is there a better approach? i think SS would be too aggressive and stressful on my lower back

>>40702340

If you're just trying to get stronger, replace box squats with back squats. Box squats are good for working on a specific weakness and for equipped lifting, not so much for building general strength.

I don't see the main lifts anywhere in here. If you're going for powerlifting (which I assume you are, since you're in powerlifting general), then you'll need to have those. Also, rep ranges should be higher for isolations, maybe 8-12 or as high as 20, depending on the lift.

Most beginner programs will do fine for you if you really are a beginner, and there won't be any need for modifications. However, the prerequisite for training hard is having a body that isn't damaged.

If you have a disc bulge, take time off for it to heal. Don't try to train through it with variations. Wait until it feels better, then wait another week or few. More time is better. Have you talked to a doctor?

>>40702371

Box squats are very good for general strength, and they're also good for teaching newbies how to squat properly. He does need regular squats, though...

>>40702443

I'm pretty sure every set of 20 I try to do on an accessory lift ends up being a set of 21.

>>40702827

Not with that attitude, you won't.

>>40702827
If you do at least one rep it could still be an AMRAP

lol

If you were really pushing for it, you won't perform as well with the 85%. You could do it if you wanted to, though. It would just feel shitty.

Do you need to?

>>40703082
You ain't doin' shit with 85 after an 80 AMRAP. Outside of a full Westside ME day pumpup you'd be lucky to hit three or four. 80 for 9 is good, take it and call it progress.

>>40703134
>do you need to
Theoretically 80% for 9 reps should be a max increase already - but I wanted to do 85% fuck.

I guess I can attempt it and increase anyway, even if I fail??

>>40702871
>If you're going for powerlifting

Just general strength for now. There's really no other good place to discuss strength training on /fit/, sorry about that.

>if you really are a beginner

My strength levels are beginner now ever since the injury, but form and skill-wise I'm not. Like I said, I'm pretty sure that SS will move too quickly. The injury happened because I'm apperently very hypermobile in my lower back, and the doctor even watched the video when it happened and said it was fine, so I probably would've gotten injured regardless.

>the prerequisite for training hard is having a body that isn't damaged.

True, and no true. You have to work with what you have. If my back has atrophied and is more prone to injury, I can obviously not push myself as hard. Doesn't mean I can't train though? It just means I have to be intelligent about it.

It would be stupid to just think you're back on track just because you're pain free and then resume your old training habits.

>He does need regular squats

If the above is taken into account, do I?

I am sure your advice is smart and the adult thing to do - but my ego got in the way.

You know, I came into the gym thinking about that 85% set, wondered how many I would get all day.
I just had to do it.

I got 7 - but the first two were a little bouncy. So I think you could say 5, fake the 2.5kg increase (7 would be 5kg) and that's it.

Ah, I see. You could always just do SS, but with slower progression (and probably less squatting).

I wouldn't load my spine at all with a bulged disc, but do what you feel is best. You're the one feeling it, so I don't really know how bad it is.

Hmmm, I think bouncing makes it really easy don't you think?
I mean I could just do it ... worst that can happen is that I don't get next weeks increase right?

At that notion: does Nuckols want you to do paused reps for those AMRAPs?
I guess it simply depends on if you do your other weights paused right? Paused 1 RM = do paused AMRAPS?

>>40703713

The way I see it, you got two questionable reps and five good reps while fatigued from a previous AMRAP. If you hadn't been fatigued, then those questionable reps would probably have been fine.

I don't know anything about Nuckols' programs, sorry. If you base your AMRAP percentages off of a paused max, then you should probably be pausing them.

Paused benches are good for you anyway, so might as well do it.

>>40703678
It's actually that I wear my headset I the same place for years and has caused a loss I'm blood flow to all of the scalp forward of it.

>>40703766
It's just that his 9+ rep AMRAPs are already so high in reps for me that I feel like I can't really demonstrate my strength because before I even use my chest properly I am just exhausted from staying tight and have weak reps because my setup is completely broken down.
Pausing reps ontop of that would make the whole thing a shit show, I believe.

I think that next week I would simply test 1 RM, maybe even paused and go from there.
If AMRAPs prediction of my max is completely off (like it's actually 135 instead of 142.5) then I will reconsider what I am doing.

What is generally suggested for weight and sets in a week that I want to test 1 RM? I definitely want 3 seession because I know that I need the form practice. But I guess just overall less volume, but not too little?

I have a problem with leaning forward/hips shooting up during squats. Will ATG high bar paused squats help me out with this?

>>40703979
I'd argue that doing non barbell squat movements would be better. Belt squats, hack squats, leg press etc. My reasoning is even with ATG high bar you'll still have your hips shoot up. Something like the excersise I said above won't allow you to do that and will completly focus on the quads

>>40703979
In my experience, yes

Hello guys im new to plg been browsing /fit/ for a like a year my stats are currently 2/3/5/5.5 plates, after doing a few months of machines and 10 months of my slightly altered SS. Im wondering what program I should do next, btw Ive been bulking hard and am 5'10 and 194lbs.

When benching, what is this "pull down with your lats" shit when unracking ? I always just push up and off (which is probably how I hurt my AC joint).

>>40704461
But why

>>40703843

Look into powerlifting peaking for figuring out your weekly weights, sets, etc. for a 1RM. The general concept is to "prime" the body by building up intensity and decreasing volume over a period of time, so it's expecting to handle that heavy weight. Jumping into it after you're used to sets of nine might be less pleasant.

>>40703979
>>40704222

Box squats helped me a lot with this.

I find it really weird that different people have different claims about the source of this (quads, back, hamstrings) but their different approaches have all been successful.

>>40704380

Yeah, I tried to do that, but I don't have that option. It's really weird.

The idea is to keep the scaps pinned where they are.

>>40704429
A few questions
1. Did you just randomly throw this together in 3 minutes
2. In what scenario is retarted levels of volume in the first week and progressively waaayyy less volume "sheiko inspired"
3. Are yout autistic.
Watch the CWS programming series if you wanna learn cuz this is retardation

>>40704502
It's for the volume gains

>>40704527
>1
Yes
>2
Cause Sheiko = submax sets for doubles
>3
Possibly Yes

>>40704463
It's more like a lat pushdown movement.

>>40704509
woah sweet rocks bro, when did you start your collection?

>>40704530
Why are you arguing? Your program is garbage.

>>40704545
Just do sheiko bro, the plan you wrote reinvents the wheel using triangle tires

>>40704282
Looks good, little bit wonky but nothing like how you used to squat.

>>40704463
I just recently started doing this after hearing JP talk about it and it works insanely well for me.
I thought I had my setup down after such a long time, but that cue made it so much better.

>>40704545
>possibly yes
You definitely have autism bro

>>40704478
Well, again it's "just" the bench and I am also only early intermediate in it - also Nuckols does have me do some 90% singles throughout the weeks.

I mean, I am still increasing bench weekly so it's hard to test actual max the way you described it - that's for when I progress in 4 week cycles right?

How so?

>>40704919
why and how much you pay for some rubbish program/coaching?

>>40704946
Well, when detailing the sets you've done, the standard architecture of a site like this would be

Lifter uses a browser (client) that sends an http request to the controller
That controller then sends a message to another piece of it's software, which sends another http request to another part of the program to query the database to get an object representing, say, a lift. That is then sent back to controller and changed into a view object that has the appropriate field which is then put into the page by means of javascript.

But that takes 100-300ms for all that to happen, when you could just have the viewmodels in memory through JS and then use that to quickly create the form and then send a JSON to the API to update the database. Would be a smoother front end.

Nope. Just someone being witty.

Or as Isley would say, the http request hits the controller that creates a JSON object and then uses a RESTful service to use an external API that then fires another POST-request to another controller and then displays content in the view via cached JS, yeah.
