Why are powerlifters so fat and ugly?

>>41353714

Threadly reminder to try harder and keep a clean living space.

You don't want cockroaches or bed bugs senpai.

>>41353742
panzer stop

I don't think I told you guys about it so here is a little laugh.

A guy I meet sometimes in the gym really wanted to get better at deadlift. He was fucking around, but making good gains. His friend who told him to do 130kg deadlift for 5x5 every time he went to train for a month and then max out and he would be able to lift 180kg, maybe 185kg he said.

You need to stop watching porn and fapping. I'm pretty sure it's changing my life.

>>41353944
whats changed? im guessing nothing

I'm starting Texas Method tomorrow and, looking over the programming, is this kind of weight progression sustainable? I'm going up 25lbs on my squat and 35lbs on my deadlift within six weeks. I can see that stalling really soon.
Or am I just selling myself short?

Now that the dust has settled I ironically actually do miss trappy-chan
He was a shit cunt, but the threads just felt more lively....

I remember actually talking on plg all day and feeling so engaged with everybody.

I know perhaps that's a distant feeling for all you newfags, but damn do I actually miss the real plg.

Wow Dino this is just pathetic

>>41353978
Week 1: 132,5kg squat for 5
Week 11: 157,5kg squat for 5

For me it is been good. No fails, and even one week where I jumped 5kg (week 2).

Trappy if you're reading this I miss you

>tfw bad bench day
Is there any worse feeling?
Had to cut the reps, go tng, was feeling a pump in my right bicep, no control over my reps

FUCK
HELp

>>41354007
That's actually pretty impressive, Anon!
I'm hoping this will help me out, I've always struggled with setting up a good routine despite reading practical programming several times.

>>41354009
Yeah, that's the problem... Eating, sure, I fucking love burgers, wings, steak, and proton shakes. Sleeping, however, is difficult now that I've taken on a 60+hr work week...

>>41354053
>bad deadlift day
Seeing that bar just sitting there, unmoved, mocking you is the worst feeling to me

>>41354057
Just don't fuck around and go to bed at a regular time that will ensure you get at least 8 hours. It'll be tough but you can do it.

>>41354076
But with deadlifts you can still power through things and get dat endorphin release

Bench you just feel like a weak pussy and like you have noodle arms

i'm not that other guy, but if I have a bad DL day i can't power through shit

if I have a bad bench day, maybe instead of being able to do something for a triple i can only get it for a double

if I have a bad deadlift day, I can't even get a planned triple for one rep

>tfw squatted 255 (70%) for 20 reps
Wew lads. Today was my last day of 20 rep squats, it was a good but extremely painful run. Now I gotta think of a way to progress myself to 315 for 10

>>41354874
Aaryn women vs nigger women

>>41354884

>70% for 20

I literally do not believe you

either your maxes are dramatically underinflated or you are straight up lying

70% for 20 is straight up not possible

>>41353880
It was 280kg and he was in the 93kg class too. Really impressive.

Brandon

>>41354974
Every ginger I know is called Brandon
Now tell me your conventional DL max Brandon

>>41354948
I haven't maxed in a while - the percent is off my tested max. I'm highlighting the fact that I did 70% for 20 to show that I've made progress

>>41354983
I have never maxed out a conventional deadlift

I do snatch grip deadlifts with 110 for a 10RM

thats the closest I can tell you

>>41355012
I recently did 105kg x 20 SGDL and all I can conventional pull right now is around 180kg

Must be as weak as me. Loser. You're so weak.

>>41355031
Firstly I almost guarantee you aren't doing actual snatch deadlifts

a high hip wide hand pull is just a meme

secondly

I never claimed to have a good conventional pull, I was always sumo masterrace

>>41355051
I don't take training advice from someone who's never seen a pair of titties in real life

>>41355051
no, it was. I have done a 180kg sgdl before, but okay I admit I rounded like frail cat.
I dunno what's happened to my body but cardio + cutting has destroyed my deadlift like nothing else

>tfw had to roll of shame 145x5 close grip bench

Welp, guess im adding in close grip bench now

What should I do for rep scheme/progression? Probably going to do it after my regular bench working sets. And what difference does pause/no pause make?

>>41355173
I wouldn't be upset with a 145kg cgbp but that's just me I guess

>>41355301
I don't mind so much if its just a muscle strain honestly, but every time something like it happens I get terribly anxious it's my spine or someshit, every time.

>>41355339

Same actually, when it happened I was terrified I had somehow slipped a disc or something

Still not totally convinced I haven't as a matter of fact but I'm like 95% sure it's not that since I feel like the pain would be way more debilitating than it currently is

2 out of 10 troll attempt. Step up your game please .

Most powerlifters I see at meets have either wives or girlfriends

Women don't give a shit about Aesthetics. They don't even care if your little bit on the chubby side as long as you're bigger than them. Most women would prefer a chubby guy that looks decently sized then a shredded guy who looks like he doesn't even lift in a T-shirt

And before you call me a fatty, I'm not . I sacrifice a little bit of strength to maintain a six pack and Vascular arms.

I'll tell you a secret, not that you're ever going to really use it to have sex with women or anything: women don't want a man who goes to the gym religiously. They want you to look good naturally. So if you go to the gym a lot don't talk about it.

Ok so I know it varies between person but what could the average 20 year old, 5'10 male reach for working sets on SS with good sleep and enough food?

At 80kg, 71kg bw right now still feels harder each time. Also, is it always a better option to add 2.5kg if you're unsure about whether to add more?

>>41360055
squats*

>>41360055
I have bad news for you. The weight is going to feel heavier when you add weight to the bar

If you feel like SS is progressing too fast currently just move to SS intermediate or Texas Method. It's far better to Progreso little bit slower then to charge ahead and stall hard and gets scared of the bar like a puss

ATX Ram Bar or Strengthshop Bastard Bar.

I'm looking to buy one. Anyone have any experience with either/both?

>>41360055
i think around 3 pl8 is avg

>>41360076
Thanks I'll remember it not scared of it yet but it's getting there. What do most people squat for working sets after SS, like 3pl8 @100kg? So it's safe to assume I could probably reach 2.5pl8 at a lower weight?

>>41360166
Yeah that weight sounds fine. Especially at that body weight. At some point you can't adapt fast enough to the amount of weight you're adding to the bar on SS so that's completely normal period

Don't listen to any faggot that says you should be hitting 4 plate on SS at your body weight.

>>41360166
I got to 130kg on SS, got hurt, got up to 130kg again and then switched to Texas. Now I am in week 11 and at 157,5kg 5rm squat. I'm 98kg, but should be leaner, I've been pigging out.

Routine for late novice/early intermediate? Thx

>>41359137

>>41360244

>>41360244
Texas Method is pretty foolproof or intermediate SS. Do your own research though and find something that looks like you want to run it.

What accessory can I do to work my ability to finish strong on Squats and what's holding me back? I attempted a PR at 455lbs and failed. I was able to get out of the hole and got to the part of the rep that looks like pic related and failed.
People told me I got out of the hole and got to my sticking point fast, like they thought I had the rep until the sticking point.

>>41361587
What is PR?

>>41361596

Work getting better out of the hole.

>>41361609
I never heard of such a thing, here in Norway. Just a couple months ago it started being open 24/7, never heard of such a thing either before that.

>>41361610
I don't understand; I'm able to get out of the hole easily it's that part that's hard. Is the reasoning that I'll have extra momentum to carry me?

>>41358684
I'll go today. Actually found some classmate to go with so things are looking pretty good rn

>>41361639

Yes, don't overcomplicate it. Either that or drive your rep maxes up to a point where 455lbs becomes your easy double or triple.

>>41361587

Quads and glutes do almost all of the moving in the squat, so getting stronger quads and glutes is probably the way to go.

Belt squats and barbell hip thrusts are my favorites for those.

>>41361716
What kind of rep scheme should I do the hip thrusts? Also I don't have anywhere to belt squat in my gym, so would a narrow stance high bar (I exclusively do lowbar currently) like oly lifters do help my quads a lot?

>>41361751
depend on your leverages

if you're a shitty high forward lean squatter and you try to highbar for quads after lowbar, your back is going to be kill long before your quads

if you're a semi decent squatter that's probably ok

>>41361770
I maintain a very upright position even though I use lowbar. I tried to get a guy in the gym to do it instead squat morning but he couldn't.

>>41361751

I like to do 4x6 for each of those. If your gym doesn't have a belt squat machine you could make a setup like Mike T does in this video.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BTXl7pWgn-H/

>>41361782
Yeah I think I'm going to high bar instead of the belt squat. So that should also be 4x6? I assume that the hip thrusts weight should be comfy, but should I do the same for the squats or use a percentage?

Whoever said I was gonna injure myself was right

Bugger

>>41361155
Sure, yeah. Just do them after you squat.

>>41361810

4x6 would still be good, probably something around 70%.

>tfw didn't lift for three weeks now

>>41361716

Not the guy you're responding to but can weak glutes be a limiting factor in a squat even if you have a relatively strong deadlift compared to it due to having to be more upright?

>>41361177
Ramping deadlift triples and doubles
Bench doubles
Closegrip
Lunges*
100 reps of rows
Maybe some GHRs and leg curls

*I will probably not do the lunges

>>41361280
>high intensity work has no training effect

>>41361832
i don't think that's a very good idea, friend

>>41361836

Probably, your quads are going to maximally challenged at the bottom of a heavy squat, and it's your glutes that get you through the movement. If your quads are too weak your glutes won't be able to do enough, and if your glutes are too weak they still won't be able to do enough. Training both can't hurt at all.

>>41361354
Sausage and egg biscuits and burritos are your best value, and one mcdouble/one mcchicken is covered in the 2 for $2.5o thing so that's your best PM value.

I can HAMMER it (hahaha)

>>41361826
Alright thanks man.

So, I posted a while ago saying that after 8 months or so at the gym I was only able to deathlift 2pl8 (4 x 10) and I needed advice to lift more. Anyway, this is some of what I can lift after the same time (with the current routine, of course)

2pl8 deathlifts 4 x 10
3pl8 squat 4 x 10 (yes I break parallel)
65 lbs military press 4 x 12
2pl8 bench press 4 x 10
75 lbs bench press with dumbbells 4 x 12
etc

Point being, I had an steady development on everything I have being doing since I started except at deathlifts

>>41361873
when your deadlift gets out of the 300s you may need more than one set a week to do the job, sport

Aren't RDLs also good for hip extension? I realize it isn't the sole focus of them, but I would think they still work well.

How many scoops a day are you on?

>>41361942
Paused squats or front squats first, and moderately heavy hypers as an actual accessory. If you do them right you shouldn't just be torching your lumbar, it should be an ass exercise. Hip thrusts kind of helped me in terms of activation but mostly just gave me a sore ass and did nothing for my lifts.

>>41361981
3 scoops a week so 0.429

>>41362001
was thinking of the way lascek outlined it with 1x5 deadlift on ID, RDLs on VD

and it's still shit

3/10 effective program for one of the big 3 lifts (maybe), that's the best I can give TM

.>>41362067
Just because you're a dead end doesn't mean that Texas Method is a bad program.

But you're your own man so you do what you need to

>>41361903
Deadlift is a more high-intensity lift, so at some point you have to train it with different intensities and rep ranges than other lifts

Instead of doing sets of 10 at 50 to 60% of your max how about you try sets of three to 5 using 70 to 80% of your max.

>>41362110
it's objectively a bad program for most lifters

it's so bad that mark rippetoe himself does not recommend it, and the prevailing current opinion on starting strength forums is not to do it

when the people who made big bucks off of squat myopic programming think a program is too imbalanced that's a pretty good indicator that the program has major flaws

When you guys hit a new weight in your session, do you find yourself struggling on it or does it come easily?

Found out who killed my kitty. Was a disabled man who couldn't control his dog.
I don't know how to feel about this.

I blame who let her out, (wasn't me in this case) and I blame the owner for waiting until she was dead before bothering to take her to the vets. (I'm sure he had his reasons, but I don't know what they were)

There are no winners here.

>>41362348
I'll tell you how I feel, I don't like cats much anyway but I hate how disabled people or old people have pets when they can't even look after themselves.

Grinds my gears so much.

Disableds should be euthanized.

>>41362404
at what point do we draw the disabled threshold?

>>41362419
If they pull anything other than conventional

>>41362439
they are a lot of people that dont pull at all
you are creating a lifters utopia,
i fear you will face fierce opposition to this policy

>>41362348
Why were you letting your animal run wild?

I guess it's sad if you care about animals. Next time make sure you take responsibility for your animal. The responsibility Falls partially on you

>>41362603
I personally didn't. Big empathise on I didn't let her out. That's what makes it hard for me because the blame is on another family member, which nullifies all sour feelings I had.

I definitely can empathise with everyone in this situation to some degree.
In reality though, only my cat suffered. Shit feeling.

>>41361826
>4x6 would still be good, probably something around 70%.
>4x6

Why not 80%? Add some deadlifts after :)

I've got a mental block or my gyms plates are terribly inaccurate.
>do 97.5kg for a speedy single vroom
>put on 100kg
>fail every attempt
Honestly that 97.5 is rpe 8.5!!!

How do I bypass this mental block?

>>41362603
>indoor-cat-fag
Stay in /an/ pls.

>>41362751
stop seeing arbritary numbers as something special

your goal is probally 100kg, you see the 100kg as a stepping stone. Treat the 100kg the same as the 97.5kg

>>41362804
b-but the plates are so even and round and look so b-big

>>41362816
While that mentality makes it more fun it probally makes you more nervous as thus more prone to failing

you can still have this mentality but when the times comes to lift it you need to put that thought somewhere deep

>>41362816
dont use 20 kg plates then

>>41362790
If you live close to other human beings then you need to keep your pets away from them. It's common sense. When you take animals into your home you have to be responsible for them.

Powerlifters should have dogs instead of cats in my opinion, to make this powerlifting related.

>>41362847
Powerlifter should have pet knuts

Cats should be outside unless you have one of the retard-breeds. If you live in the city and they can't be outside you shouldn't have a cat. If you can't stand cats in the suburbs or further out you should keep it to yourself or kys.

>>41362931

I'm an animal lover but out where I live if your cat is running wild and it comes on my property and shits in my mulch, I'll give one and only one warning shot with an air rifle

It's just common courtesy between human beings to keep their shit to themselves

>>41362975
You are not an animal lover if you can't stand animals doing animal things like they're supposed to. Shoot my cat and I shoot you.

>>41362975

>shooting somebody's pet instead of talking to it's owner

One of my neighbors was like this growing up. Eventually found out after all of our outdoor cats went missing that he like shooting cats. You're a fucking cunt.

This isy first form check in a long time.

I don't feel anything going wrong while squatting, just to make sure.

>>41363371
