FUCK WITH MY NIGGAS CATCH A DICK IN YOUR THROAT

Week 3 of 28free and sheiko. Did squats, then deadlift, then squats again, then romanian deadlift. Hardest workout of my life. Pls pity me.

Running sheiko for squats and 28free for deadlift. Next monday is gonna be even worse. This was by far the hardest workout of my life.

People who own both adipower and romaleos? How often do you change or rotate your pairs? Do you use shoes for a pparticular lift?

Did my first Sheiko workout today. Fuck 5/3/1 this is so much better.

>>41457196

Same honestly

Kinda want to stay up to reset my shit but I don't want to lift on no sleep

Although I did have a question, my oly lifting coach currently has me doing 4 days of oly stuff and I was wondering if I could just take the two upper body days from PHUL and put those on friday/saturday while going monday-thursday on my regular shit (just for vanity reasons mostly on top of bodybuilding generally being useful for oly lifting)

Does that sound like too much for a novice lifter?

I don't like dadlift on boxes and I ran the 28free for DL prior to sheiko. Managed to increase my deadlift despite losing 7 kgs hence why i'm keeping the deadlift portion. Sheiko also looks like lower volume so I thought it would be a better move.

>>41459407
you just pulled a tendon you mong, just take it easy for a couple of days itll go away

can some rate my routine, i'd curious to know if its too much. i'll be bulking on it. its a TM and 28 free hybrid (3x a week int bench and texas squats, deads and chins). adding in some bodybuilding in order to improve size in problem areas.

Mon:
Bench (28 free)
chins volume
Squat volume
RDL 3x8
ab wheel 3xwhatever
lateras/face pulls for a quick pump before i leave

Wed:
Bench (28 free)
chest supported row 3x8-12
klokov press 3x8-12
Squat recovery
ab wheel 3x whatever
cable crossovers or whatever for a pec pump before i go home

Fri:
Bench (28 free)
chins intensity then 1 or 2 bodyweight back off sets
Squat intensity
DL intensity
ab wheel 3x whatever
laterals/face pulls for the pump

might throw in some calves somewhere too.

anyway my main concern is these days being too long or there being too much volume in there. nuckols said getting pumps etc is fine but maybe its too hard with the TM stuff in there. i would also appreciate some advice on whether to keep it at 3 days per week or moving TM lower to its own day so its 6 days per week. thanks.

>>41453101
For those who do vanilla TM: do you only do your 5RMs on friday, or do you add another "wednesday" at the end of friday for extra volume?

What would/do YOU do if you only had 1 hour, 3 days a week? (except TM)

How's everyone been doing?
WAWTT?

I have a few 90% deadlift singles so that'll be fun. My bench has been feeling pretty strong the last couple of weeks too. I think it might be possible to hit 275 at the August meet I'm doing.

Fucking kek, i read that as you could hit a 275kg deadlift. Im retarted, 275lbs is definitely in your wheelhouse for bench, good luck.

>>41459927
Would that little air hump be legal in a meet? Didn't your butt come up off the bench a little?

>>41459927
is that pressing with the legs when you initiate the press from the chest allowed or is that cheating

>>41459959
>>41459961
As long as part of your butt stays in contact with the bench it's allowed, and the very bottom of my ass barely stays in contact. I got all whites on bench at my last meet.

>>41459951
Kek, no way in hell. I'm hoping for somewhere in the 220-230kg range on deadlifts depending on how the next month or two goes. I've been deadlifting 3x a week really trying to get to that 5pl8.

for what purpose does Wendler recommend getting massages weekly during building the monolith? do they help with recovery?

Anyone else really struggle with Cin-ups on C6W?
I'm doing C6W and I'm really struggling on the upper body day chin ups.
After doing bench, db rows and db ohp, I can't get the required 12/12/10/8 weighted chin up reps, even when it's just bodywheight. (85kg)
When doing texas method my rows and chin ups were always my strongest lifts, being able to do 3x8 chin ups with 20kg added at 80kg bw.
Is it normal that I'm too tired to get the reps? Anyone else have this as well?

on my 2nd cycle btw, so I don't think not being used to this volume is the issue.
Also don't have this problem as much when the rep ranges are lower.

>>41460274
When I did c6w I did the weighed chins right after bench so I wasn't fatigued from the rows.

>>41460274
its normal if you already had that much work done

Rows and bench will hinder your chinup, maybe do the chin ups before the rows

Most powerlifters I've heard say rows are more important, so I don't want my row to suffer. Can currently DB row 30kg x10, so I think I want to improve that first.
I mostly just wondered if it was a lack of conditioning or something, or just normal fatigue.

I wouldn't have run advanced large load if I wasn't gonna be out of commission for two weeks. What I ran prior, in order: SS, TM for squats, 28 free (3x beg bench and squat, 1x int dead), C6W with 3x int med from 28 free for 2 cycles, sheiko intermediate medium load to fix my squat form, MA's custom program he wrote for himself but slightly adapted for me because I was competing in a slightly different period of time than the program was designed for, then 3 weeks of advanced large load for the volume accumulation to not lose much strength. Gonna be doing hepburn A next.

>>41460940
>Volume accumulation
Meant fatigue accumulation, but same difference.

Also forgot to mention I ran 5/3/1 BBB while cutting between SS + TM for squats and 28 free.

bw? height?

>>41461017
Bw: 224
Height: 5'9

Stats last year:
Bw: 215
Bench: 250 3x5 (garbage form, tng)
Squat: 295x5 (also garbage form)
Deadlift: 365x5

>>41461017
Ok. Thx. Why so many programs? I ran candito linear up to 130kgx5 squat. Then did TM to a 4 plate triple. Then 28 briefly until I found out the squat is simpl too low volume, then swtiched to sheiko int. med.

>>41461101
TM was trash and didn't work for me and I didn't think I could enjoy TM/SS on a cut so I switched to 5/3/1. 28 free looked like a good way to get my strength back up after my cut and it was. The bench portion of c6w is suboptimal so I replaced it and got really good gains from both programs. My squat form was awful so I ran sheiko to fix it, and it worked. I ran MA's program because it looked like fun and was designed to peak me in exactly 5 weeks. And like I said before, advanced large load was to build up as much fatigue as I could relatively safely so I wouldn't lose much strength when not lifting for 2 weeks due to surgeries.

>>41461027
dont put your entire thumb over the bar, this will cause the bar to slip and grind your skin

you need to put your thumb partially under the bar which makes your hand a bit stretched out, this grip is so solid it will hold above at least 50kg your max deadlift

if you didnt get it I might got a video that demonstrates it

>>41461172
>TM was trash
no you were training trash, TM is solid

>>41461202
I had too much stress in my life to be able to recover from it properly. It works well for accessory lifts, but I really didn't enjoy doing it, nor did I get much progress from it in regard to the main lifts.

>>41453101

>>41461192
Do you mean laying only half of your thumb on the bar? I dont have a lot of experience with hook grip so im probably misunderstanding

>>41461298

I also like his take on how to implement hook grip, I use @8 singles in my training as well so I can use hook grip on those and.straps for the rest. I think im gonna take out mixed completly. My back seems to always feel better when I stop pulling mixed cuz of muh scoliosis

lookin good kid

i think everyone can benefit from leaving /fit/ and not browsing anything about fitness for a long period of time

i used to spend hours upon hours each day just chatting on plg about powerlifting, reading arcticles, browsing lifting subreddits etc. I made good progress, but as soon as I stopped having time for this much internet browsing my gains went real good, stuck to one program, stuck to a long slow bulk, didn't keep trying the new FOTM exercises and programs etc.

>>41462712
Do you enjoy boxing/MMA?

If so, do that as your main sport and just lift as supplementary training for the fighting. You'll be in an advantage, since most fighters I know don't know anything about proper strength training.

>>41462712
At least train at your local club a few times, try how you like it. Also I think it's possible to do MMA and still do some pl style training on the side

>>41462795
I like the non-idiot aspect of PL. As in, people are smart and most powerlifters have good jobs and are very methodic about their training. What I've heard from my friends who do martial arts, it's a lot of "macho" uneccessary shit, like having to do 100 pushups if you come late to training or something. Also everyone is an edgy faggot who thinks they're tough. I wonder if I can just do PL training 4x week then do 1 day of MMA technique and then compete sometimes.

>>41462712
i personally already would if head injuries weren't so common. ive already had multiple from other things and i dont want more

>>41462825
Any long term effects of that? Like, would getting knocked hard in the face a couple times a year really have an effect? I'm a little worried that cuz I'm a tall guy I'll be facing people who are strong as fuck, and I don't think head injury tolerance scales up with weight.

Yes this is powerlifting related. If you don't train your dick at least once a day you'll lose gains.

Looks alright. Maybe try less flaring with elbows and see if that changes things up. Other than that you push through the hole fast enough I think. Maybe try leaning a bit more into it. I would also recommend to unrack and press your first rep in the same breath, helped me loads.

T b h my deadlift progress has been kind of disappointing compared to my other lifts over the last year.

>>41465094
He's actually 5'2. I'm actually only 5'5 but still look tall in videos with him.

is 55kg ohp for 5 reps beginner tier

thinking of running cuckols his bench routine for it

>>41465287
It's probably just intermediate if you can do 60kg for a single or so.
Yeah you can do the bench programs for OHP, I dunno how much luck you'll get out of them.

I have never been able to progress my OHP as fast as bench. I even dropped bench entirely for like a month and added nothing to my OHP in that time.

My only recommendation for OHP is to get big ass shoulders and do a lot of high rep auxiliary work.

Up to you though, have fun.

>>41465217
Fuaark guise. No way?!
I thought you are at least 6 foot. You look lanky as hell some of your goodmorning webms. Mind is blown. Your wingspan looks enormous when benching.

Thought Alex was around my heigh 170 cm, 5'7. Never underestimate how short powerlifters are apparantly.

Are you running sheiko like alex?

>>41465217
>stay safe
Ive noticed I seem to be able to tolerate a shitload of volume. Idk if its a good thing or bad thing but imma rape myself with volume until I find out

>>41465287

I don't know what that bench routine is, but remember that OHP will exhaust faster and make smaller increments of progress than bench press will.

>>41465326
They're lying. Alex is 4'8 and Alex is 5'0.
Its a meme where they say there slightly taller than they really are.

>>41465348
Cuckols says that you can run any of his bench programs for ohp so

I'm still squatting a little: a few triples at 80% one day and sets of 8-10 at 60% another. My lower back is just too fried from all the deadlifting to squat more than that.

>tfw not drunk as fuck on the eve of this great nation's day

>>41464427
Quick release is well liked among some and hated among others. Some say the buckle sticks too deep into the body and ends up being pushed out, but others have no such problems (might depend on the belt thickness, but I don't know). All Wahlanders have quick release, IIRC, and those belts are hugely popular, so the buckle can't be that bad.

>>41465949
It forces you to keep your knees forward. Which isnt a guarantee with front squats. It also is not limited by load like goblet squats are. Trust me nothing has ever hit my quads harder than a belt squat

>>41466110
Cool, I'll give them a try, thanks anon

>>41466135
No problem

I hit 1/1.25/1.5/1.75 this week..

Am I a freak? Why is my OHP ahead of everything else? Is it from all those years of normie pushups?

>>41465695
20lbs in 6 weeks
If you keep that progress up you're looking at 150lbs in a year
You could go from a 300lb squat to 450lbs if you have continued progress like that.

Any progress is good progress

>>41466170
Your bench form is trash (most likely) or you're built to be way better at ohp (very unlikely)

Also, consider confronting your anxiety in a controlled environment (i.e. professional help). Confrontational therapy is sort of the new hype in treating anxiety, OCD, etc. People struggling for decades have gotten all but cured after a heavy week of confrontation and putting words to your fears (which usually leads to you realising that most of your fears are irrational and thus never materialise).

He's got an interest in making his stuff seem as widely applicable as possible.

Still, it (probably) can't hurt to try. OHP is a lot easier on shoulders than bench press, so you won't likely hurt yourself if it's too hard, you'll just fail some reps.

Or you won't. Either way, we'll learn if this bench program has use as an OHP program

High bar vs. Low bar squat: What's everybody's weight difference between their high bar and low bar? Just hit 197.5kgx4 high bar and was wondering what should I be able to hit for low bar?

Normies usually don't give a shit, lad. Congrats either way.

I can squat about 10kg more low bar.

>>41470581
if you don't train low bar, 0 or maybe negative

but given some practice and some time you could probably lift more.
