First time doing low bar squat >plz r8

why do people bother lifting for strength when they're still toothpick-looking skelly motherfuckers

>>41435017
That's why i'm lifting for strength.

>>41435002
Forgot to post video

>>41435038
my prediction: in a few years you're gonna be stronger but remain a small motherfucker that calls everyone bigger than you a roider because you were too proud to actually incorporate accessory work because that's what only "dumb gymbro dudes" do

>>41435199

This would be a legitimate concern if any evidence was provided beyond a picture of a squat.

You don't know. Maybe he does leg press or other shit after/before this.

>tfw the first time i squatted i shat myself

>>41435104
Dude has like twice his bw on his back.

>>41435104
>>41435002
honestly looks like pretty decent form. Bit shaky on the way up, probably due to a tendency to swing your hips forward on a high bar. hip drahve, anon

>>41435104
Not an expert but I think you need more hip drive. Imagine the bar is on your ass or that someone applies pressure to your lower back with his hand and you have to press against that.

>>41435104
Look down. Keep your head in line with your spine.

>>41435516
A bit less shaky on this video
>>41435573
Seem like it happens out of habit on last rep

>>41435561
Your most likely right. Hip drive is still a bit French for me. Can't learn it without practicing.

>>41435017
Because strength=>size but not vice versa
You will get bigger as you get stronger, but you can still be a weakling while being big
>inb4 SS is a meme meme
Congratulations, you're a fucking retard

>>41435104
You barely go past parallel.

>>41436672
Thanks, took me a while to get use to.

>>41436472
then why do i keep reading fucking everywhere that size=strength?

>>41435017
cus you'll get sick gains

>>41435199
lmao @ this entry level pleb fuck

>>41436472
guy you quoted and I'll actually agree with Strength>=size. SS is a good strength noob routine, but suboptimal if their only goal is hypertrophy. A skelly should first eat to return to humanity.
>>41437371
deluded /plg/-autists that like to think they're bigger than they actually are. They will mask their lack of e.g. arm gains with remarks such as "i-if I'd cut my arms would magically grow 2" along with me getting leaner".


t. someone that trains for strength these days

>>41435002
doing high weights really scares me with squatting. im still a fatass and not /fit/ at all but what do you do if you are down there and cant get up?

Ask someone to help autistically?

>>41437427
let the weight roll off your back

>>41437427
Drop the weight if you squat on bumber floor. Use safety pin in the squat rack if not. Or you can always ask for a spot om your last set.

>>41435104
Set your back angle earlier.

Can you touch your toes without bending your knees?
Don't lie.

>>41437427

Squat in a power rack with safeties and always keep your back as straight as possible - arching your back prevents you from rolling the bar off in the case of failure.

Watch here for more info:

Helped me out as I failed twice while squatting alone (once during my first 4 sets of 2 pl8 and the second at 2.5pl8).

>>41436472
this is very wrong

https://www.strongerbyscience.com/powerlifters-should-train-more-like-bodybuilders/

there is a reason any good PL routine includes hypertrophy work, and there's a reason powerlifters often have hypertrophy phases when they don't have a meet coming up - increasing the cross sectional area of a muscle will increase the contractile force that muscle can produce

last time i did squats i must've torn a nerve or something, my back still has kink idk..

>>41437847

Unrelated question but why don't weightlifters train the same way? It's mostly 3 reps at most per set. Not a lot of hypertrophy. Doesn't more muscle mean more power?

>>41437999
Doing 20 rep squat won't make you better at squatting 1RM for competition. Also you can't get strong without getting bigger muscle, and vise versa.

you can get bigger without getting stronger just by incorporating gimmicks like time under tension variations that work to progressively overload your muscles.

The only people that spew bullshit like you are small as shit compared to their strength levels and accuse everyone bigger than them of roids. Prove me wrong and post a body picture.


pic related is stronger than 99.99% of /fit/

>>41437999
did you ever see the chinese lifters?

>>41436672

and to elaborate "without getting stronger" means without getting notably stronger on a compound lift compared to a person that trains specifically for it. A person doing SS and reaching a 2 plate bench 1rm at the end of the program will be much smaller than the guy reaching it through a x8+ routine, albeit in a shorter timeframe if done right.

Powerlifters include accessories for size, which increases their main compounds. Same with olylifters. A gym rat doing brosplit only will be bigger than a SS-trainee with the same lifts in 99/100 cases

>>41435017
>>41435199

Because if you are strong as fuck but small as fuck it makes you fast and explosive as fuck which has actual benefit for people who play real sports

not everything is about looking like a chemo beauty pageant contestant

you are retarded

>>41438242
>Same with olylifters

'no'

t. someone who trains bulgarian weightlifting

>>41438200
chinese lifters have specific "bodybuilding days" where they do high-rep work accessories. It's also why they're extremely developed compared to other nations - Lu looks like a fitness model

>>41438256
oh i was thinking about the chinese method when saying that - bulg is CNS-intensive and indeed works, but it's obviously there to hone your skills on the lifts and thus improve it.

>>41438266
>>41438200

And only possible because of steroids.

Try training olympic weightlifting professionally and then do additional bodybuilding work if you want to break the world record in time headed to snap city.

>>41438166
How much does that guy lift

>>41438335
To be fair he looks way bigger in that video than in your picture. I bet his legs are pure muscle

>>41438383
still pales compared to even natty bodybuilders, and makes sense seeing as he has to stay small to avoid surpassing 77 kg

>>41438166
he also isnt natty

>>41438446
I can't into reading comprehension

Skelly is lifting for strength so he won't be skelly anymore.
Are you retarded?

>>41438458
So you think someone could get to his level naturally without steroids?

His "gimmick" is being roided to the gills and not everyone is a world class olympic lifter.
