you cant meme me I know that shits delicious

>when you hit 80% for 8 reps on bench

I cant wait for the peaking phase

>>41294596
80% is your 8 rep max though. Lol

>>41294596
but that's about what you should be hitting at 80%

Can you do madcow with session progression or a bigger weekly progression? Like 5kg instead of 2.5kg?

>>41294590
Im sure if you asked Isley hed say memereldas butthole tasted delicious. its not tho

>>41294596

>when you hit your 8rm for 8 reps for 5 sets all with 2 minutes rest in between

fixd

>>41294615
faster stalls, do you think you can make a 5kg jump one week?
then do it
do you really think you can keep that going for a month or more?
well fuck, keep doing it.

>>41294639
I'm pretty weak and my squat has always been shit but I've recently started squatting again, my squat 5rm is the almost same as my bench 5rm. I manage to progress 2.5kg weekly with bench so my squat is going to keep staying shit with 2.5kg weekly until my bench stops progressing.

Fuck

5x4 deadlifts at 80% are hard. Nuckols is a madman.

dumb question but what are good 3 day fullbody pl programs that are good for late novice/intermediates?

no texas cuz i heard its shit for bench and shieko might be too advanced for me. i feel like im loosing strength on gslp

>>41295944
Texas method for squat+Nuckols 3x beginner for bench

>>41295944
Day 1
Some squats
Some bench
Some nice accesories

Day 2
Some heavy deadlifts
Some light bench or other pressing
Some nice accessories

Day 3
Some heavier bench
Some heavier squats
Some deadlift variation for volume
Some nice accessories

>>41295963
>>41296245
thanks niggas, im actually ready to do a cut next month and gslp is pissing me off, i might the texas+cuckols next semester when im eating +300 calories

are my numbers beginner? 5'9, 160lbs, 14%bf?, 9 months in
bench- 180x1
squat-275x1
ohp 125x1
deadlift 260x1

im aiming for 1/2/3/4 at 12 months, i would do texas but it seems like its pretty strict with dieting and such. i wanna lift heavy ass shit but still gain muscle while having spare time i guess

>>41296341
I'm 5lbs lighter than you at 5'5. Eat more, no way you need to cut till you're at least 180

>>41296341
You don't need to cut

>>41296436
No nigger do not cut. You need all the muscle mass that your little twink ass can get. Fuck I'd go so far as to say go cocoon mode and get to like 195-198 then cut down to 183 and recomp/maintain

I just noticed Pyyros squats 3kg less than the IPF world record for the 83kg class without a belt or knee sleeves casually in this video

LMFAO

how can PLers defend themselves honestly?

>>41296459
>>41296563

bruh id get so much stretch marks from doing that lol

should i dedicate more time in the gym then? i did sl 5x5 for 3 months, stalled at a 95lb bench and like 65lb ohp and switched to ppl for a month, hated the fact that my strength stayed the same. changed it up to reddits nsuns 531 for like 4 months, gained crazy strength. due to me being busy i did like 3 weeks on ICF 5x5, hated squatting everyday so i did GSLP for 3 weeks now and i hate that my strength is the same as when i finished nsuns 531.

how about my strength as a younger guy? i looked into alpha cuckstiny but his program looks like the same thing as ICF

i heard TM only really works for genetically gifted like Lazlow and my bench will suffer

I see that Canditos LP has no bench volume (i know i like bench volume)

Shieko seems intense and even the intermediate one seems to be far too advanced for me

GKnucols seems good but i dont want to just bench/squat/deadlift (i know i can add more in but is there a program where i just follow the numbers without thinking too much about subbing shit?)

i read PowerLiftingtoWin and their reviews and his program seems too PL focused for me

idk i think im overthinking this and should just find something to stick too...

>>41296629

If you stalled at a 95lb bench after 3 months on SL 5x5 you simply are not eating enough

Don't worry about stretch marks, stretch marks are a natural consequence of gaining weight, fucking The Rock has stretch marks, if you want to get bigger you need to eat more

>>41294529
PL is an embarrassment.

>>41296629
You're perfectly fine, stretch marks aren't a big deal, and I doubt you'd get a bunch eating at only a 300 kcal surplus. The important things are to eat properly, be consistent in the gym, and get enough sleep. With all that accounted for, the last part is just time. And adding in accessories isn't a bad thing, it takes 3 seconds to do so properly and you'll figure out what you like more and what affects you best. You don't need anything major, some pulling, ab work, maybe some hamstring or shoulder work spread out throughout the week. You don't know if TM won't work for you if you don't try it, and if you're truly worried, the 3x beg bench from 28 free works very well and you can do it instead of TM for bench. If it doesn't work, 3x beg squat from 28 free actually works decently well, and then after that, you can do c6w, at least the lower portion. I'd recommend against sheiko because it's too specific for a novice/early intermediate and you'll out progress the program quickly.

I'm interested I giving the madcow 5x5 a go. Does have anyone have a 4 day a week variation I can do? I get bored from only 3x a week

>>41294695
and thats totally fine
if you can manage a higher jump for squat, do it. If you cant, just hold onto any progress at all

>>41296657
>>41296755

thanks fat retard, id be down for TM plus Cuckols, it would be fun to do the power clean part of TM. ill try it next time i workout and ill start eating +300 now, maybe cut somewhere down the line. like in Jan or when im at 180ish

>>41296917
why are you so fucking hell bent on cutting you wont have a lot of mass to cut down to for a long time

>>41296946
im 18 i guess, i started lifting to get girls/stay healthy and since gaining muscle it worked out for me, except the time i got elbow tendinitis (fixed that)

i guess i just want to see what i would look like if i had sick abs

>>41295108
Bald, facial hair, bandana around head, tork tucked behind ear, chalk (but not talc) on your legs like a goddamn idiot, apeman strong singlet, and some pwo brand shirt beneath it

>>41296245
that is literally just about the perfect general strength or powerlifting program. just add some weekly variations to the rep schemes

make it the perfect general athletic program by opening each session with an olympic lift or variant, then the upper, then the lower, then the accessories, and do some sprinting or conditioning on a couple of the off days

>>41296991
You forgot
>looks like a walking thumb

>>41296629
do something with more volume to gain more muscle and eat maintenance/light surplus, phat/phul, juggernaut, cube, 531bbb.
with more volume you will reach 250lbsx5 in 6-9 months.
except you want to be fat

>>41296988
as I said do another program, you will reach the same results on the lifts and much more muscle mass.
texas method is for people who don't do cardio and eat pizza for breakfast, for mediocre results.

>>41298171
I'll have you know I only ate two slices of bread with salami with a protein shake for breakfast.

But I did gain 1,5kg over the weekend.

Couple questions, what do you guys prefer for squat programming between madcow or TM?

What are some other set/rep schemes I can use for VD and ID rather than just 5s? I plan to just do fronsquats only for a while.

>>41298782
Never tried madcow but I am doing TM and it is very fun. Get to work hard on both monday and friday, and even the wednesday feels tough after the monday's volume.

I always do this: abs visible = not fat, not visible = fat.

That would be so strict, I don't need to look shredded.

>>41299076
Yes people told me I should be 105kg, but not right away. I only lifted for a year, I am not so strong yet. I think I need to think long-term and get a bit leaner so I can get bigger without getting morbidly obese.

He tried to convert me some time ago, but I resisted him

Anyone have a run down on Sheiko? Seems like a lot of people here do it, but I got the app and it never has you go above 90% of your 1RM. When do you test your max? Do you do accessory lifts as well, or is it only bench, squat, and deadlift?

>>41299322
you test your maxes at the end of the training cycle after peaking. preferably in a meet

yes there are accessory movements programmed

>>41299322
>you go above 90% of your 1RM. When do you test your max?
Some prep blocks have a max test. There are peaking blocks build to a max test.

>Do you do accessory lifts as well
Starting to doubt that you have the app.

>>41299199
dude your upperbody looks like shit you could easily be 93kg jacked and ripped

>>41300072
ok, so you think at 93kg I would be pretty lean? My goal I set myself was 90kg. I literally don't have pecs, hehe

>>41300110
dude youre 183cm you could easily drop to 85kg lean

around that number lean bulk to 93kg to get your upperbody up, why be fat at 105kg with the same strength levels

>>41300155
Yes this is what I was thinking, but I feel 85kg is very little, I was 85kg before I started lifting. I will see how low I go, it will take a long time anyway.

>>41300176
were you equally fat when you started

also how the ufck do you weigh 99kg you dont even look that heavy

>>41300192
I am about as fat now as I was when I started. I know right? I have friends my height who don't lift and are as skinny-fat as I was, but they weigh much much less (68-75kg). Maybe all the gum I swallowed as a kid never came out.

Bunch of virgins

Hey boys, can I get some input on my 4 day variant of the TM?

Monday: Bench 5x5 OHP 3x8 Weighted Dips 3x10

Tuesday: Squat 5x5 BB Rows 3x5 Pull-ups 3xF Hammer Curls 3x12 Ab Rolls

Thursday: Bench 1x5 OHP 3x5 Chin ups 3xF

Friday: Squat 1x5 Deadlift 1x5 Ab rolls

Been running the normal 3 day variant for over 6 months.

Current stats: BW-200lbs
SQ-370lbs (5RM)
BP-235lbs (1RM)
DL-405lbs (5RM)

Currently on a caloric deficit, so gains have been stagnant or failing (mainly bench).

>>41302081
In my personal opinion of which you don't have to follow, I'd perhaps do weighted chin-ups and seated incline hammer curls on Thursday

I would do an ab roller or planks. I presume ab rolls mean ab roller though tbf. Just double checking.
I would do more reps for the ab roller honestly cause you can't increase the resistance. 4x15 or something is what I'd personally do.
Planks are another story.

I'd do weighted pull-ups on the OHP day cause they work rear delts a little more and suit the themeing.

That's just me, do what works for you.

>>41302081
I wouldn't do sets til failure either. Just more sets.
Like 5x10 instead of 3x4 for example
Maybe even 6x8 idk

>>41302169
>>41302204

Thanks lads, I'll definitely take those points into consideration and adapt the scheme as I go. But I'm guessing the overall structure is acceptable, right?

>>41302246
I haven't a clue. I'm an absolute failure.

>>41302081
not an expert but personally i run a 4 day tm in which i split up the heavy lifts so there is not more than one on a single day.

monday is heavy squat, volume bench, easy deadlift accessory, other accessories (chest, tri's, back, bi's)

wednesday heavy deadlift, easy squats (pause squats), easy bench, accessories (back, shoulders)

friday heavy bench, volume squats, accessories (chest, tri's)

saturday deadlift accessory, some type of press, accessories (back, bi's, shoulders)


the benching that im doing is from nuckols 28 3 day int medium.

>>41302406
oh and i do ab wheel on Wednesday and Saturday at the end

I really like BTN Presses

Why did I ever tell people not to do these god damn

Programming isn't that difficult. I don't understand why you guys overthink this shit so much .

If you're a beginner add weight to the bar every week on the major compounds .

If you're intermediate then undulate your rep scheme and add weight to the bar once a week or once a month

If you're advanced , then good fucking luck figure it out on your own

Don't even mess with variations or accessories until you prove that you can handle the major compounds on their own. Also don't skip your back work. Do your rows and chin-ups.

If your training needs to be more complicated than that then you're a genetic dead-end you need to find a new hobby

What percentage do you guys do DL assistance lifts at?

Been doing paused DL for 3x8 at 70% (170kg), starting to think it might be to heavy.

>>41302941
Pause deadlift is not assistance work, it's a variation of the main lift

If you're changing the range of motion train it like you would the primary lift or even in place of the primary lift

True accessory for deadlift would be barbell rows ghr front squats ab work etcetera

9 times Outta 10 you just got a deadlift more

i've been doing it for a while and have increased ID consistently to the point of squatting 4plate for 5 reps, but i don't know what 'feeling strong' even is. i've never walked into the gym feeling like i'm about to tear shit up. what does it mean?

Idk, I feel very different sometimes. This week I feel weak as fuck, I haven't eaten properly and slept less than optimal. In a good week I know before I enter the gym that I will leave with a new 5rm and in normal weeks I know I will when I do my warm-up and feel good.

Opinions on wrist wraps for bench?

Recently started using knee sleeves for squat and they feel so good, I feel a lot more secure and get no pain through my lifts.

I was wondering if and when to use wrist wraps, my bench is not all that high at the moment with a max of 275lb but I am curious as to how they feel.

What's your prescription? Tfw -9.5 in my right and -9 in my left ;-;

>>41304788
WEW DUDE

-4.5 in both

>>41299093
why?

speaking strictly about squatting, the standard model has:

1. a larger gap between V and ID meaning that you can hammer it hard and be less likely to enter ID under recovered
2. a recovery day during which you cn speed recovery and get some extra form practice in
3. more volume

so why is 4 day, for the purposes of squatting, a better idea?

>first set of bench is hardest set
>arch and leg drive a shit
>do a lot of light volume after
>go to do another submax set with heavier weight
>arch high and leg drive tight

How do I warm up for bench better? By the time I can really get my form down I'm too burnt to do any hard sets

LMAO fuck away off lad

>>41304836
Some lunges to stretch out your hip flexors help a fuck load. Also really make sure your push yourself into the bench to force your arch when warming up to get everything looser.

>>41304836
Warm up set of 5 with bar then add 30 - 50 lbs each set till you are a plate away from your working set and take a 3 min break before your working set

>>41304843
but you were asking about squatting, were you not? i have been on the TM for a while and in the beginning saw shit progression in both the deadlift and the upper body lifts, so i switched to nuckol 3x a week bench and kept the D programming the same. so the standard template didn't work for me either. but i'm talking speficially about squatting, because my squat has never increased faster aside from LP.

>>41304904
I am >>41298824
My squat is flying up like a motherfucker, same with my bench. My deadlift has been stuck for a while, but I am just now the last two weeks getting some easy 5rms I think I can keep up. My press has stopped and even regressed some, but I blame that on the strongman log I made in the easter-holiday and pressing that way too much.

>>41304876
My hips aren't tight, it's more that I can't get my pull my back into position and I feel too out of practice to get my shoulders properly into position even though I bench 2-3 times a week

>>41304884
So more warmup sets? I'll try it

>>41304767
If you're still lifting in a year, yeah you might make it.

>>41300915
To be fair iirc Jezza at least got out of the hole and had only just stopped moving when they got him, Kelly outright failed and the bar had moved down with him, there was a lot more dead weight for the spotters there.

>>41304943
our experience is similar and by no means uncommon. i plan to run TM squats dry then move to nuckols' squat/bench/DL, should be good.

i think the upper body needs more of a pummeling than the lower body and that the prescribed DL volume isn't enough pummeling to ellicit a decent response, just my opinion

>>41304876
Is very deep leg pressing (1 at a time) a good substitute for lunges?

whats the deal with wilks

how many are good

im at 312

>>41304984
I too found the DL-volume was very low, and that the power-cleans were not too beneficial since they require very light weight and a different stance. So for me I think the problem was I simply didn't get enough practice in the deadlift. Now I started doing speed-reps for deadlift on fridays and feel it working.

Don't have a plan after TM though, I'm straight out of SS just some months ago.

>>41305037

why do you want everyone to die instead of just you

>>41305196
Humanity was a mistake. Consciousness is a curse.

My abs and obliques keep getting strained and sore. I think it also might cause me to round my back during all conventional pulls.

I'm not entirely sure why I keep straining my midsection, and I'm not really sure why I can't pull without rounding my lumbar anymore.
I've waited it out for a while now and its not particularly improving.

Any suggestions?

>>41305179
>>41305230
Are you the guy who always posts about being depressed? What's up?

>>41305241
pulling your lats/back in general tight????!?

>>41305271
Yeah I do, and it helps a lot but it doesn't prevent my lumbar to round.

>>41305257
No I'm a different guy.
Also I'm not suicidal. I see no use in killing myself if the world still exists, and I'd like to witness an apocalypse.

>>41305278
do you use a belt?

>>41305294
I've tried both. I feel as if my belt gets in the way no matter how low or high I place it, however I still use it anyway. Often it puts me in the position of a rounded lumbar before I even pull any slack out the bar.
Despite having a better starting position without it, I'm still rounding after the bar lifts from the ground.

I get minimal rounding during sumo, and a belt actually helps a ton in sumo.
While I can just pull sumo, its weird that's its just begun happening after being mostly fine for the longest time.

>>41305331
has anything caused you to lose a ton of hamstrign mobility maybe? i find that my deadlifts are harder to get done with a good back after exams because of all the sitting at a fucking desk they require when studying

i hate uni for so many reasons

>>41305367
Perhaps long distance running? I began running 3+ times a week since this problem began.
I've always had poor deadlift proportions to begin with, so perhaps I could be losing mobility? I can definitely set up with a neutral back angle, but it seems to consistently round as soon as the bar is lifted from the ground.

>>41305412
in that case i have no idea man. if you can set up with one then i don't see why it should round on the way up, though i'm no expert.

have you changed anything else in your programming that might be causing more soreness in the midsection?

>>41305412
Maybe just having difficulty activating your lower back.

>>41305466
Its been a problem for a while now and I can't seem to figure it out either. Thanks for taking the time to help though.

>>41305491
How can I know if this is the case?

>>41305586
is it possible you've forgotten some element of the form/fallen into bad form habits?

if i'm not careful my lower back will begin to round during my squats. re-reading the squat section in SS fixes it every time as there's always some cue or body positioning or feeling that i forget.

maybe this isn't the answer but its worth a try

>>41305586
Lie on the stomach on the floor and flex only your lower back. Do this a little and you might remember better to activate it when lifting
