lads I just wanna train and not get bothered with maybe I should invest in a homegym

tfw adding 5kg/session on 3x5 squats as it gets harder and harder and face my impending doom soon

>>41399240
if you just start dropping weights whenever he'll get the message

but you should get a home gym anyway. its great

So Brett is now stronger than you with only 18 months of training. How does it feeeeeeelz?

>>41399277
>if you just start dropping weights whenever he'll get the message
Maybe I should. It really annoys me when he is doing everything on the platform except for lifting weights

The big reason why I left a commercial gym is because I got tired of waiting for retards doing everything but squats in the only squatrack in the gym. Sorry m8 had to get this frustration out

Anyway how much did you spend on a cage, decent bar, bench and weights?

ooooh fuck a super stinky smelly Norman Khan is creeping out of my butthole as we speak, it's being a really stubborn one, so far nothing but smoke (farts) but there will be fire (fecal matter) soon

ah yes what a relief first fucking stinky Khan has fallen out from my butthole more to surely follow


Ah yep second one has fallen

And a third!!

>>41399323
Why don't you just ask him to move. He can't read your fucking mind. Better get your test checked bro

oooh it's nice and stinky and smelly much like Norman Khan himself this is what I imagine he stinks like right now like My fucking fecal matter

isley and garagebro have said the strength shop power bar is the best price/quality bar in the UK (assuming thats where you are)

>the United Kingdom of cucks

Can i run Push Pull Legs to make the powerlifting muscles (glutes, quads, hamstrings, lowback, triceps, pecs) bigger if i do around 16 to 20 sets per week for each muscle group, increasing 2% -units intensity per week and upping volume by around 1 set per week??

Or should i reverse it so you start at around 20 sets per week (not sheiko meme sets of 6 sets of 3 at 75% but rather sets of 6-8 reps) at around 70% and then increase intensity by around 2 percentage units per week and decrease by 1 set per week until you hit around 78%?

>>41399403
with all the info out nowadays you still want to do a retarded split?

drop the bodybuilding mentality and do a real program it doesnt really make that much difference size wise

I started squatting 155 3x5 and am already up to 185 3x5, adding 10lbs each time, I'm hoping to continue this to about 210ish before dropping to 5lbs.

Started at 160 bw, 5'10. Whilst it's hard, I noticed that as long as I gain weight I somehow manage these 10lbs jumps even though it seemed impossible the previous session. I'm probably like 5lbs bw more right now too in a matter of just over a week. Is this too fast for weight gain for start period or normal?

In a clarification, rippe says that when by the time I reach high 200s/300, I should be 185ish bw?

>>41399318

Have you even read the book? This is pretty average, if slightly below.

>>41399530
you sound like youre doing fine. dont count your chickens before the hatch tho. dont assume when your future progress rate

>>41399566
Not to mention that he has the right build for the deadlift

I bet his bench is shit

>>41399579
>tfw hella long arms
>455x5 dl
>145x5 press
:(

>>41399567
Oh yeah I mean it's kinda like how I'm adding 10lbs even though I don't think I can, but by the next session I somehow manage to do it.

Like I can't gauge how much to add, does it just come to a point where I'll fail right away or will just get very hard very fast?

>>41399530
Adding 10lbs is normal for the first few workouts but it probably won't last for more than 5 unless you highly underestimated your first workout. Keep eating and resting and you'll maintain linear progress.

>>41399442
What kind of split should you do then? Or what kind of "real" program? I'd do sheiko but sheiko doesn't have enough "reverse-powerlifting" movements to keep the rest of your body healthy so i got joint problems doing it.

How much can you BOR?

https://www.instagram.com/p/BT76Vmdj9pQ/?taken-by=savvysavit

good idea to do paused squats or front squats on Wednesdays? doing TM btw, not sure if it's gonna fuck up my intensity on Fridays

>>41399958
>how much can you violently "row" a weight you can't handle for Instagram likes and mires on a Tibetan penis stretching board

So after only 2 months of lifting I managed to tear my Medial Collateral Ligament on my knee while squatting not even 1pl8.

No form video currently and I can't squat for a while, but is there something obvious about my shit form I can avoid to not demolish my knee again? I think I just went too heavy, too early, too deep with how weak I am but that's a guess.

Ive been doing 531 for 4 months, doing good. I want to swap to a more intense program. Is sheiko a lot more volume? Should i spend the shekels on the app?

>>41399591
You know nothing of long arms...

DL 550lb
OHP 175lb

>>41400128
That was 2 years ago and in the video comments he admits to working out for 17 years.

Which means it took him 19 years to deadlift 533 pounds

>>41400018
Knees tracking toes?

>>41400109
>270lb

do small load then, fat cunt (no bully)

Can anyone here actually DOH 4pl8? Did you do direct grip work for it? Does it take long?

I use straps for 4pl8 and can only manage like 3pl8 for a couple reps without straps/hook.

>>41400253
I do only 147,5kg for 5, but I hold double overhand with the bar dropped down in my fingers, no grip issues yet

>>41399263
You're supposed to add 2.5kg

Just applied for the air force. Waiting on a response now.

Also about to bench. Max out? y or n?

Ok so my recent meditations have just broken powerlifting

It's not half squatting

It's just a power squat

Much like in olympic weightlifting where power cleans/power snatches are acceptable the power squat should be accepted in powerlifting

So basically powerlifting is fucking stupid as shown once again

Kys PL losers

>>41400461
wat is a power squat

>>41399926
Literally just shuffle bolt throwers shit

>>41400461
panzy is a power bottom

>>41400471
A power snatch/clean is when you catch above parallel

Therefor a power squat is stabilizing above parallel

What's wrong with that?

>>41399403
>>41399442
There's nothing wrong with doing a PPL split as a break from dedicated strength programming. You've got a plan for lift progression, I'm assuming you're able to choose exercises in a non-retarded manner, seems fine to me.

>>41399969
Yes for either.

>>41400581
he has sub 300 wilks and like 99% of the people who do a brosplit have no clue what they are doing and you think he does? lmao

>>41400253
I can do almost 5pl8 with no straps. I gotta be chalked up really good and I can only do 1 rep with double overhand. I can do 5 reps with mixed grip memes. Doing a lot of reps at lighter weight really helped my grip work. I was doing 5/3/1 boring but big 3 month challenge so I worked up from 5x10 at 50% (of 90%), to 5x10 at 60% and then 5x10 at 70%. Before I did that program I couldn't even double overhand 4 plate.

>>41400175
is that a meme way of saying smolov or is there something actually called small load

>>41400077
That's a singlet, u r here in /plg/ get used to it

>>41400643

Warming up for bench and my right upper bicep HURTS BAD

WHY

>>41400749

>>41399318
I dont know who this is and I'm definitely stronger than him

>>41400555

Overpriced, under equipped, small. It's objectively a questionable "need" when the person's wilks scores are:

>1st meet April 2016: 289
>2nd meet: 287
>3rd meet: 301
>latest meet April 2017: 278

>>41400728

Why are powerlifters so fat and ugly?

>>41400846
I think the question you should ask is why so many fat and ugly people choose to be powerlifters

>>41400253
hookgrip.
Never ever had a problem with grip. Your hands will hurt a little the day after though

>>41399798
Sheiko 3x a week is plenty volume to exclude much other.

>>41400802
How could his wilks go down 30 points? This dude is the definition of GDE

>>41400612
A brosplit is 1x frequency (train a muscle once per week). Why is 2-2.5x frequency so bad in your book?

I'm only a novice and squatting but is the descent supposed to feel more difficult(?) than the ascent? The ascent feels pretty natural but the descent it's right to be focusing on staying tight and weight on midfoot etc?

Also how the fuck do I stop arching my back/flaring my ribcage on the way up? It's nice and neutral going down.

If I try to brace harder, it actually makes me start to shift weight forward.

>>41401031
>t. has never seen a PPL routine
take a look in this thread >>>41387492

nobody knows anything about programming yet everyone does a ''routine'' with just exercises slapped on there with no periodization or whatsoever

>>41401009

So she should train at a globo gym until she meets your arbitrary Wilks threshold? Get your head out of your ass m8.

The most egregious thing is the programming. Buying equipment for a hobby doesn't really annoy me.

>>41401368

What are good core exercises which will help with squat that I can do by myself at the end of a session and require little assistance (not pause squat)?

Is weak core still an issue if my 3x5 squat is 90kg but my 1x5 dl is 150kg?

Oh right I kind of do this already but not consistently, maybe like 60% of my working sets and do breathing pauses for 30s at the end? Would that work?

Got another job interview at a very good and very huge firm. A consultant position. It's a very, very, very good job and I expect it to be a door opener for jobs anywhere.

Second interview at a very good and very huge firm on Monday. Job is good, and I expect it to be a door opener for better jobs in the firm, which is in an industry that will only grow. This job requires shift work.

Both firms will probably never run the risk of collapsing. Salaries are likely equal.

Which do I choose, if it comes to that?

>>41401843

>>41402927
Yeah, Benni is a legend. I think his raw dl record will stand for a while yet as well, Eddie and Shaw will probably not want to risk their biceps on something superfluous to strongman

imo hes the only one who could have rivalled eddie on DLs. strongman is like a fucking anime or some shit rn. all the main guys are getting so strong so quick and bennis the old rival who got left behind

Shaw and Pritchett are both capable of challenging Eddie on deads, maybe not beating him but definitely pushing him.

I really dislike Shaw, but deadlifting for reps he's easily as good as Eddie. Weaker maximally though

>>41403819
Idk, I just don't really care for the sport all that much anymore, I just enjoy lifting heavy things and gaining more mussels, and don't like being limited to only the big 3

Plus for me to compete at my best in strength sports I'd need to get insanely obese, and I'm autistic in that I'd rather do something at my best or not at all

how isnt it emphasized you dont need 10 sets of situps dude one or 2 sets a trainingday is enough

Is it true that the OHP carries over to the bench massively

If so I should probally OHP twice a week and bench once

who am I kidding you guys probally bench 3-5 times a week

>>41404260

Unless you're doing sets of like 50 I doubt that's enough

>>41404275

Currently benching twice, incline benching once, and behind the neck pressing once.

It is known that people who bench a lot usually have a shit OHP

I wonder if anyone here puts more emphasis on OHP while still trying to bench a lot of weight

Can someone explain the logic for the second squat session on C6W?

The first lower body day you squat a decent weight for 3 sets up to 6 reps, then the next workout only 1 set and a meager 2.5kg heavier.

I felt like i could have blasted out 10 reps since there were no other sets to worry about.

On monday im gonna do this.

I'm running 28free for DL. Gonna hit 4x3 on 172.5kg.

Should I squat, deadlift then squat
OR
squat all of it then deadlift.

Last week I did all of the squats first then deadlift. I had to dig deep on some sets of deadlift. Would I benefit from deadlifting in between since the last portion of squats is relatively light but still high volume. I'd rather suffer doing squats than suffer doing deadlifts.

Am I overthinking dis?

If you're still around, it won't be anything to get ready for a meet by October.

If it's a USAPL meet, you'll need a "whitelisted" singlet, a shirt with no logos or anything on it, and a whitelisted belt, wrist wraps, and knee sleeves, if you intend on using any of that. Yes, it's patent bullshit and a reason why the IPF is just another lolfed.

For the actual lifts, just make sure you KNOW THE COMMANDS AHEAD OF TIME! If you show up to a meet and get red lights because you won't wait for the Squat, Press, or Rack commands, I will fight you.

Also, train at least some heavy bench presses with a pause at the bottom if you aren't already doing so.

And take some videos. It'll either expose you as a jackass or look pretty boss. AND it'll help us help you better.

I am a Yankee fan. This ought to be a pretty good series, today will be especially interesting to see if our lineup can actually hit Keuchel. Pineda is a solid pitcher, but he doesn't usually go super deep into games and the Yankee bullpen is the weakest part of the team, so they're likely going to need to score some runs.

Regardless, the Yankees next series are hosting KC (terrible), at Tampa (also terrible), then at KC (reminder: terrible). So I'm feeling pretty good about how May is going to go.

>>41399999
You know this had an objective benefit right?

not taking away from strict rows, but the force produced and the possibilities of training the lats in a limited range of motion has some scientific merit.

the rhomboids will never be able to keep up with your lats.

to criticize that row is like saying the strict press is cheating a rear delt fly or scapular retraction row

>diddlies i avoid
Why would avoid deadlifts then do stiff legs? Are you retarted

>>41405967
>guys i need some help lifting 6 months
any answer other than lift longer and eating more is just patronising

>>41405999
Why would you*

>>41405967
I've been in the same place. It took me too, too long to bench 1pl8.
Keep it simple, just do more volume, get off SL.

Run Greg nuckols beginner 3x bench perhaps?
Add CGBP or some DB press in for 5x10 after or something. Anything. Just more volume!

If you wanna do SS then just add a few accessories like stated above. Just added more volume.

You literally can't do too much with those stats, so do a fucking lot.

Eating more isn't necessary, you're already at a surplus, just DO MORE.

>>41405999
have some apt problems and i heard avoiding deadlifts and doing stiff legged is good for this.

i did SS for a the 6 months untill now but i think this is what got me here (half sort of decent squat and lame bench)

so now i do full body:
bench
row
ohp
pullup
dead(stifflegged)
squat

twice a week

>>41406005
thanks man

>>41400507
To be fair, I bought my inzer belt when my wilks was around 275. Just because someone is weak it doesn't mean they're not serious about getting better. Over a year later I'm in the ~345 wilks range.

>>41405967
Start doing lots of pushups and chinups throughout the week. Fix your awful bench technique. Learn to try hard and stay tight on all lifts. Start doing light conventional off 20cm blocks with real good form and get stronger at it. Keep eating so that in another 6 months you're 80kg.

>>41406020
got it more bench volume
i think ill just keep everything 5x5 and bench 5x10

>>41406067

True, I bought my adipowers before even squatting 2pl8, they're just better to lift in, there's no sense in waiting for no reason

>>41406044
that sucks shit do this

A
Squat or main squat variant 3-5x5-8
Bench or OHP 5x5 or 5x8
Pullups and any row 50-60 total reps
B
Main deadlift movement
Bench or OHP 5x5 or 5x8
Pullups and any row 50-60 total reps

A B A

Do back extensions, triceps, rear + side delts every session.

>>41405537
shut up dude

>>41405899

>How do I fit out a shirt better? Bigger traps and delts right?
>So shrugs and BTN press?

Just get your standing press (the Starting Strength kind) up to LMAO2PLAYT, and increase your deadlift and power clean/full clean. Your traps should grow as a result.

BTN press is a great way to risk your shoulders.

>>41406159
but thats even less bench volume than what im doing now.. i dont get it

>>41406219

>BTN press is a great way to risk your shoulders.

Don't oly lifters do snatch grip press though? What's the difference between BTN press and that? Just grip width?

>>41406219
Ironically I do both of those two, but power cleans give me mild lower back pain / discomforts and I have a history of it, so I'd rather play it safe than sorry.

I understand BTN press is risky, I do it very light and for 10-12 reps minimum usually. Helps with shoulder mobility, but yeah, there's been a few scares already.
I love the pump, its too good to give it up...

Deficit deadlifts often feel more comfy off the ground than regular deads

What does my body mean by this?

>>41406247
If you bench 45kg for 5x5 then you dont need volume, you need to put 47.5kg on the bar and bench that for 5x5.

>>41406323
Request nothing but 5lb plates at your next meet.

>>41406262
Literally just grip width. BTN press is only risky if you dont have the shoulder mobility to properly perform them

>>41404542
Sure, it'll work

>>41406388
The reps are harder due to rom but the start just feels nicer on my back
