what exercises do you guys do for injury prevention?

(besides fucking facememes)

>>41341201
reverse hypers

>>41341201
Cgbp
Btn presses
Flies
Sumo and conventional
Power cleans

If you haven't caught my drift, I exercise all my ranges of motion and it keeps me mobile.

>>41341201
BB rowing
Curls
Front squats
OHP
Band pull-aparts

>>41341137
What is your best strict press?

Repost last thread.

>>41340812
I can front squat easily but cant back squat.

>>41340917
I keep it down but I just cant push out with a bar on back, just end up pushing my stomach out. I don't know what drills actually help when its loaded because I can brace properly when i deadlift or just standing like I said.

I've tried the one where your legs are 90 to a wall and you brace then, I can brace in a goblet squat, I can brace in a front squat, but I cant do it during a back squat. I have no idea why I can't.

>>41341157
this general isnt for you

>>41341335
You shouldn't be focused on pushing anything out. Your stomach should naturally expand when you breath diaphragmatically (into your stomach, not your chest). And bracing while standing or deadlifting is different to bracing with a bar on your back, so it's no wonder those don't help. Can you post a video of yourself back squatting?

>>41341201

Hyperextensions
Reverse hyperextensions
Good mornings
Any ab work
OHP
Rowing of all kinds
Chinups
Lat raises
Curls

>>41341446
I'll try to get a vid, yeah my wording was bad. I don't try to push out but I mean I can't breathe fully into my stomach and expand in 360 degrees. I kinda breathe in and it stays forwards instead of 360 expansion.

Are there any good drills or methods I can practice to help in the meantime? I mean this isn't a strength issue, I can't breathe diaphragmatically even with an empty bar. Something about just holding my arms in a backsquat position must fuck up my upper back or rib position even though it feels and looks down.

Went 8/9 in my local meet today, totaled 1280. First meet ever, that was fun.

>>41341529
I don't know about drills, but something that always helps, at least for me, when learning a new movement, is to watch as many videos as I can of people doing it properly, imagining myself doing it, and (depending on what it is) practicing it, even without a barbell.

I have two more questions actually. Do you squat low bar or high bar, and how high are your elbows compared to your torso?

>>41341542
Good job m8. Any vids?

The thing is I know how to squat but can't brace for shit. I know what to do and how to do it but can't do it.

I squat highbar and try to keep my elbows down but I have noticed that they often want to shoot right back/point back especially at the bottom of a squat.

If im sore 3 days after my chest/arm workout is it okay to hit them again at the same intensity?

>>41341689
*as I descend they start pointing back naturally otherwise my back starts to feel loose so when I try to drive my elbows under like peopl say, my back becomes loose

Is this a sign of bad mobility or something?

>>41341608
Get to it

>>41341689
I know I said the previous questions were my last ones, but I still have one more. Do you brace your core before unracking the barbell?

>>41341722
Might be a sign your not keeping your upper back tight enough. Should be squeezing your shoulder blades together as much as you can the entire time.

>>41341614
I asked for exercises specifically to avoid all those shitty memes like foam rolling and shoulder "dislocates".

>>41341750
Go to hell underage b&

>>41341753

I do brace before unracking and keep my ribs down, however when I unrack and my arms/hands are in this 'W' position on the bar, I lose a lot of tightness unless my elbows are pointed back.


So really, as soon as I try to drive my elbows under the bar and engage lats, my ribcage flares very slightly, and my shoulder blades become less retracted/tight and its impossible to stop it/keep them tight unless my elbows are pointed back.


When I squeeze my shoulder blades together the entire time, my posterior/lateral delts cramp a little once again moreso at the bottom of the squat.

>>41341834
squeezing the shoulderblades hard together is one of the most common reasons powerlifters get shoulderblade pain.
and it's not even necessary.

(common in powerlifters because it happens in squat and bench, and deadlift puts a lot of stress on the upper back to make it worse)

Rows really won't do much for your squat dude. He'd be better off a) learning to do a real squat and b) doing front squats

>>41342075
I already do front squats.

>>41342023
This happens with a 20kg bar, I don't think its a strength issue.

>>41342328
Because you're not training the knee flexion aspect of the muscle, only hip extension. Believe me, the first time your mystery knee pain goes away after a few weeks of hamstring curls you'll keep doing them too.

but it trains the same muscles and muscles can only contract.
they don't know whether they're used for hip extension or knee flexion, they just contract.

so why would it matter?

>>41342428
>do what your good at not what you like
quite literally yes

>>41342479
Pretty stupid way to live your life

>>41342444
Mmm not really. Like that's "mostly" true and especially appears to be true looking at something like EMG studies, but it's definitely possible to use a "muscle group" and not hit the whole thing equally. Muscle groups aren't really the whole, separable, all-or-nothing groups you see in anatomy pictures, different fibers can fire or not fire depending on angle/load/speed.

>>41342497
Not true, even mr garrett blessings agrees with me :) go to 2:20

Good for you lad

>>41342540
THIS KID HAS ISSUES
YOU WERE RIGHT
FUCK THIS KID

>>41342515
That can be true in some cases, but it's not in this one.
The only muscles that get hit with knee flexion more than with hip extension are the biceps femoris short head and the gastrocs.
The gastrocs are trained by walking or any calf training, even squats and deadlifts.
The short head of the biceps femoris is only used in knee flexion, which naturally only occurs during walking/jogging/running.

So why would you train loaded knee flexion?

>>41342543
I have issues because i want to do something i like ?

>>41342479
So why are you here since you're not good at PL?

>>41342597
this is a great new meme image you created thank you

>>41342557
Because you're training the fuck out of loaded knee extension and it can cause problems. I still don't understand why people feel the need to use their A&P textbook to argue against things that, anecdotally, work, and work well, for large numbers of people. I'm not saying you need to do them or your dick will fall off, I'm saying I do them and they make my knees feel better and I know I'm not the only one.

Does anyone have any tips for how to stop falling forward in the lowbar squat? Ive always had trouble not doing a good morning type squat but now it's actually stopping me going up in weight

>>41342661
Nuckols' cue "throw the bar through the roof" has been good for me for keeping my spine extended and staying upright.

>>41342661
Just do high bar, low bar is a meme.

>>41342661
Stronger quads, drive through heels and chest up.
Practise pause squats and box squats

>>41342519
this doesnt relate to the point you are trying to make
playing to your strengths instead of your weakness doesnt mean you are now forced to do one hobby youve lost interest in over another you want to do
these are just hobbies m8

>>41342597
Whos getting in your head about PL not being a real sport? Your discord buttbuddies? Youll be utter garbage at WL ESPECIALLY without a coach. Complete waste of time

>>41342643
oh, yeah, sure, they work for some people.
they just made my knee problems worse, while SLDLs/RDLs didn't. (ive heard the same thing from others)

im not trying to argue that it doesnt work for anyone.

im just trying to find out why not just use hip-extension based exercises.

if you dont know why, it's fine to just say so, and that you only know they work well for you and some others.

>>41342670
Thanks, I think my main issue is that I lean forward while going down because I have a very short tor so and long legs but I'm not sure if that's just an excuse for shit form

>>41342673
I would but highbar really hurts my knees because of how much more I have to push them forward

>>41342730
holy fuck yesyou did KEK but at least they look cool

>>41342744
no reason to get angry if you don't know something.

and how have you not gotten that the reason you're citing isn't correct?
I explained it here >>41342557

clearly I'm asking for a good reason why you should use knee flexion exercises to train those muscles instead of hip extension exercises to train those muscles.

to make it even more clear for you:
loaded hip extension exercises don't cause as much problems as loaded knee flexion exercises, because hip extension is something people naturally are able to load.
both help against quad dominance / underdeveloped hamstrings, but one of them causes problems for many people (knee flexion exercises) while the other doesn't (hip-extension exercises).

so now I'm asking why you'd use knee flexion exercises instead of hip extension exercises to combat quad dominance and to strengthen the hamstrings.

is this clear enough for you, buddy?

I know what you mean anon. I feel lost. I feel like every time I try to get better I get worse. I'm stuck in this cycle. I don't think it's ever going to get better

The only thing I can do is look for hope and the only hope I see is doing a lot of steroids and becoming a lifting monk

a girl kept looking at me when i walked by and was near me a lot today it made me anxious whats the next step in my master plan?

Consider MDMA, if it doesn't solve the problem try Cocaine.
Be aware that climaxing will be hard while the effect lasts. Cocaine will only last ~20 minutes, MDMA can last wayyy more.

Keep those arms loose Norsie, look like you're arm pulling a bit there

Does anyone deadlift more frequently than they squat? Deadlift is a much more enjoyable lift for me and my squat will forever be shit I think.

>>41346775
i want to but c6w has me squatting a lot more than deadlifting other than variations

not sure what programs make you dl more often than squatting but itd be fun

>>41346775

do front squats if you love deadlifting often because its less taxing on your posterior chain than back squats and your dead will improve faster

I'm doing more or less 1/2/3/4 for 3x5 + heavy rows, pullups, dips and some minor assistance work.

I stopped recovering well and stall most of the time, so my guess is I should pick an intermediate routine.

1. Which one, according to you, is the best one?
2. Can I continue doing heavy rows/pullups/dips?
3. How to transition well to this kind of routine? Should I deload?

>>41347206
Test your maxes and do c6w.
>Can I continue doing heavy rows/pullups/dips?
Literally half of c6w is weighted pullups/rows.

Gonna try high bar squatting and conventional deadlifting instead of low bar/sumo for a bit. Wish me luck, lads.

thoughts on madcow linear for an intermediate?

>>41346900

This is not true. It's just as taxing on your posterior chain as back squatting.

How can I stretch/warm up for squats without doing loads of stretching?

Just started squatting fairly recently and my position is shit because mobility so warmup sets aren't enough.

Started pulling sumo primarily and all the fun has come back to deadlifting.

Curious as to what plg pulls

How much would a really quick fasting affect strength/muscle? I've been on a bulk, but I need to basically starve for a week(<300 cal a day) for my job. How can I minimize strength loss?

>>41348061
I deadlift conventional

Not because I necessarily lift more weight that way, but because I feel like people that pull Sumo are cheating try-hard faggets

I'd rather pull 600 pounds conventional then 650 sumo like some flexible hipped Asian

>>41348061
Yeah ime sumo is more enjoyable than conventional, especially since I can pull a bit more weight that way. I still pull conventional, since training sumo seriously for more than two weeks makes my hips inflamed and eventually leads to a strain or tendinits.

>>41348199
300cal is nothing. You won't lose any strength. I've lost 7-8kg over this past month and my bench has gone up and so has my deadlift partially.

>>41348271
How wide is your stance? I've only been pulling sumo for 2 training days and I definitely feel less beaten up than I used to from conventional.
I've heard if you don't have the right hip structure then it can be a bitch on yer hips, hopefully I don't run into that issue any time soon.

>>41348279
what program are you doing for bench

>>41348199
Why in the fuck would you need to eat under 300 calories for your job? What are you doing for a living?

>>41348320
I've just been doing 5x5 in the hopes of maintaining. I gained mainly what I had lost a little while before the cut tbf.

>>41348328
I'm a sommelier, head chef is sending me to a village in France for 3 weeks for education. They have a PL club, so I can train, but one week of the education involves "resetting" my tastebuds and scents(so I'll be eating oats, water and vegetables for a week). Us first worlders eat a lot of salt and sugar and strong tasting foods, which really dull our senses.

Wht the fuck how do I stop my elbows pointing back when I squat?

Also do squat cues change for different proportions? Im highbar squatting and if I push my knees forward first, my lower back rounds as I reach parallel.

Occasionally pulling sumo is like occasionally sucking dicks at a truck stop

You might think you're straight, but we know better

Holy fuck I feel so retarded Jesus Christ I've wasted so much tucking time trying to fix my squat, all I had to do was turn toes out and actually have weight on the bar, trying to practice with 40kg didn't do shit. Straight to 70kg and my back is nice a straight. What gives?

>>41348647
I wasted my life so I guess it could be worse

All cues can be understood and implemented differently from person to person.

Tfw missed my set by 2 reps.

I hit the same weight for 8 twice this week, and today was max reps at same weight and only hit 7.

Why does this happen, I have hit 5kg more for 7 without to much trouble but today I was weak as shit.

Anything. The more important question is what's a good routine on cut?

>>41349095
>What's a good routine when bulkan? TM?
If you're trying to put on mass, build the monolith by Wendler is a good ride.

If you're bulking though you can do whatever the fuck you want and make gains

>>41349095
>TM?
if youre gonna do TM, stay like 200kcal above maintentance at MOST, or you'll get fat
only 6 sets of bench a week will do that to ya

I focus on keeping a big chest, which keeps my spine set, and spreading/digging my toes, which keeps my knees tracking correctly and keeps my hips forward.

TM is more modifiable, 5/3/1 and its ten million variants can be tweaked for appropriate volume and frequency. Madcow is alright, but what happens if you have a bad day?

>>41349230
>113kg@6'3

Cut. Seriously. At least to 100kg. Unless you're a big muscle boi, which I assume you aren't since you want to do TM, you are way too fat. Bulking further will just fuck up your hormones and p ratio.

>>41349272

Ay, good morning bby. Went to a Kalahari water park yesterday with my gf and some friends from work and spent like $60 on alcohol then went to Culver's after they closed. Pretty fun weekend so far. Gonna spend most of the day playing video games today.

How about you, friend? Any fun plans?

>>41349286
So basically do new routine that's not even 5/3/1 but it's called like this because reasons. Yeah 5/3/1 is shit.

Took my previous bench and slingshot 1RMs, they are now, 3RMs weighing 4kg less than before. Feels good man. Now planning training for equipped bench for the next 12 weeks or so.

>5/3/1 is shit.

5/3/1 is more principles than routine. There are probably 100+ templates besides the bare bones retard one made for men's fitness.

Jim has been in the game a long time. His principles are solid, which is the foundation of all 5/3/1 templates and ideals:
>These are the principles of training that I believe in. At some point in your training career you must take a stand for what you believe and stand firm. Over the past 20-plus years, the following principles have stood the test of time, and I believe they can make any program successful:

Start Too Light
Progress Slow
Set Personal Records (PR’s)
Use Multi-Joint Exercises

Is it possible I hurt my back seriously if I didn't feel any pain during lifting and even after it. Right now about 2 hours after coming back home I felt some pain and tightness in my lower back. Kinda scared lads please send help.
