First for squats actually not feeling so bad.

>>41490912

Gj alex, try to keep those hips down though, keep it in the quads, hips rise with shoulders etc etc

>>41490922
Thanks, yeah, I'm working on it. Maybe with a few more months of some extra quad work it'll actually start looking good.

Squatted 285 for 14 today, you guys think I can squat 315 for 10 in a lil over a week?

>>41491645
No.

>>41491683
Why not? Imma do it anyway I believe

>>41491714
In a week you could maybe do 300 for 10 and the week after that 305 for 10 IF you're properly recovered. Sets of ten especially if it's a 10RM are much more temperamental than a 5RM and even then those only go up 5lbs a week.

>>41491752
315 for 10 has a lower e1rm than 285 for 14, and it was easy anyway gonna do 295 for 12+ on Sunday

I guess that we shall see. Just gonna eat a lot and NEVER GIVE UP

>>41490912
Im not 100% sure you need more quad work. It may be the angle but your knees only shift back slightly. It may be a chance that you actually need to lean over more in your squat natty layne style. Your body just might be putting you in the correct position

Just squatted 315 the other day for a new PR. only 60 lbs away from what i was squatting when i was a 340+ lbs fatass

ALso buyin more weights 2morrow for deadlifting since i PRed with everything i had last time around

feels good man

>>41492038
bugenhagen is a memelifter building a brand off of goofy lifts. he weighs 230 lbs and squats 330x20. thats complete shit.

>>41490912
You can actually see your upperback rounding and the bar rolling up. Might be a weakness, might just be bad bracing. Either way it's shit and quad work won't fix it.

>>41492071
>800lb jefferson
>880lb hack
>900lb trap bar
>over 1000lb of those variants from blocks
>700lb lunge
>375lb db row
>various 400lb bench variants

Bugenhagen is the single strongest non-powerlifting natty on YouTube, that's not a meme.

>>41492344

What are his numbers on actual lifts?

>>41492344
cannot deadlift 700 cannot bench 2x bodyweight probaly cannot squat lmao 5pl8. like i said memelifts. probably on hrt so he can tell himself i'm in the upper limit natural range bro its all me

>>41492504
>actual lifts
There's more to strength than just powerlifting

>>41492522
>not natty
There is a strong likelihood that he is natural, and so I will choose to believe he is. If not, who cares? He's an inspirational motherfucker

>>41492600
yeah theres also the overhead press, clean and jerk, and snatch

>>41492617
There's also the incline bench, push press, trap bar deadlift, front squat, lunge, dumbbell row

Just cause something isn't "official" doesn't mean it can't be valid.

An 800lb pull of any sort is impressive as fuck, a 400lb bench of any sort is impressive as fuck.

>>41492630
but you can compare other people squats and deadlifts and benches to his but no one else does retarded shit all the time so who knows

>>41492504
He can obviously squat in the 500s, has benched over 400, and deadlifts in the high 600s, he also has no interest in PL and has never competed or claimed to be stronger than powerlifters. Show me one powerlifter with those numbers who is also as strong as Eric on such a multitude of different lifts

no but seriously why are all top strongmen fatties, how does being fat help lifting?

>>41492630

>Just cause something isn't "official" doesn't mean it can't be valid.

But the things that are "official" are so because they:
1.) Are broad, relatively simple movements that incorporate large amounts of muscle mass
2.) Have largely agreed upon standards (ass on the bench, squat to depth, etc) that allow for easy comparability

The shit you listed is mostly not this, and is more of a strength based parlor trick than any particularly useful way of measuring strength. It's sort like being able to bounce a golf ball on your wedge instead of actually being good at golf.

I'm sure he's quite strong, it'd just be handy to know numbers on things that matter (dumbbell rows are not that), in order to compare to other strong guys.

>>41492781

>Show me one powerlifter with those numbers who is also as strong as Eric on such a multitude of different lifts

What makes you think I can find a competent powerlifter who wastes so much time on silly, gimmick bullshit? The simple fact that a powerlifter has a better squat and deadlift would mean that he's stronger (bench press is frankly some gimmick bullshit as well, OHP is a better standard). The silly bullshit after the fact is irrelevant.

>>41493297
just because you need calorie surplus to progress, and thats the physique you get from eating at a surplus for the entire tie you're lifting

>>41489875
I remember Broz recommending 3x2 as the absolute minimum which you had to do no matter how shitty your day was.
Imho, start taking more advantage of the good days, but do the minimum and a low-balled max if you've had one or more days off.

>>41493297
Mass moves mass,

If your walking with a yoke that weighs 1300lbs your going to need a large amount of mass to control that amount of weight.

If your not 200kg you aint winning wsm

>>41493297
>>41494038
This isnt true

There are plent of dudes around 100-110kg that are nearly as strong

I love how gaining 80kg in fat only adds like 40kg of strength. Being as lean as possible is the best thing you can do for your total and your health at the same time

>>41490912
why do people squat like this?

>>41494060
They don't gain 80kg of fat compared to the 110kg guys.. And these guys are not competing with a total, there are many different events. For example the truck pull.

>>41494060
>as lean as possible
>good for your health

WRONG. being too lean is not good for you

It turns out I can set some records for my weight division in my country. Due to there being a few different power lifting associations and choosing niche events and weight classes.

Should I? It costs 70 bucks and you dont really get anything except your name on their website.

>>41494081
Agree with this Anon. Moderately lean is the optimal balance of efficient attractive and healthy

>>41494089
You have to pay to set records? How does that work?

>>41494060
I said mass moves mass, even if you had a 100kg guy who was as strong as them he would not be able to compete in yoke or truck pulls.

>>41494118
idk, thats why im wondering if i should bother.

i can stick it on my resume, linkedin and tinder r-right?

>>41494089
if you have money to spare do it

Its useful for bragging rights and marketing

>>41494089
Does it cost to break records or is it the cost to participate in the meet? Anyway don't bother, they're probably irrellevant if someone on 4chan can break them.

>>41494148
money to participate

>>41494149
Then it doesn't sound so bad. If you were planning on competing anyway might as well go for it.

>>41494122
>even if you had a 100kg guy who was as strong as them he would not be able to compete in yoke or truck pulls.
Is that even true

>>41490912
when was this video shot alex? is this your final form?

>>41494165
na i wasnt, some guy at my gym told me i should check it out cause my lifts were competitive.

im kind of just wondering what the point of paying $70 is for. If all I get is bragging rights and my name on a list.

It I reckon correctly I used to have quite a straight line in my back (it's been a while that I squated).
This looks all kinds of round. [This is on the way up out of the hole]

>>41494258
no youre just fat

>>41494275
Right - and that makes my back look unstraight?
Well, I guess it's possible, ye.

I was always fat though, so nothing should have changed.

>>41494371
>Right - and that makes my back look unstraight?
Yes

This is also a common thing with elite lifters, having huge thoracic erectors look like their upperback is rounded

If it is impressive enough I guess you could. Shows you are not only strong and confident, but also competitive which means you are dedicated and work hard and you are gifted.

>>41494520
Of course you put your interests on your resume. Companies don't care about your skills, they just want to weed out the autists before they hire.

so i hurt my knee and it hurts to bodyweight squat or even walk up stairs if I push off with the heel, I thought that was meant to stop the knee from hurting can someone that is smarter than me pls explain

>>41494508
Will do that later - somehow win10 stopped recognizing my iPhone though and iTunes only allows you to sync your entire data onto the PC, not selectively. So I have to figure out a way to transfer real quick.

well, one of the reasons at least

>>41494176
You would be missing half of leverage on the truck pull, watch them as they start they using their mass to start the pull.

How do I deal with narrow-ass benches? I pack my shoulders, but still slip off. Is there a limit to how narrow a base I can create?

Hey guys, has been a while since I last posted here.

I've been doing deadlifts with a mate and he tells me that somehow "my hip gets sucked in" during the deadlifts, that my first rep is always fine then it gets a little worse.
So after a few sets of not finding the exact way to stop it I took a video. Long story short; Can you guys tell me what's wrong with my deadlifts?

Hopefully the wind doesn't blow me over.

>>41495271
You're not supposed to cut or do cardio while doing SS. While it might be fine, I suspect 4-5 times a week is a little much alongside the caloric deficit. It will be hard to maintain progression, probably will stop completely.

I think it's ridiculous that everybody tries to rush their progression. They cut out all cardio and binge eat and then wonder why they stall really fucking hard when there work capacity of shit

You're far better off progressing more slowly and maintaining cardiovascular fitness especially as a beginner and intermediate

And if you don't have any cardiovascular fitness it could eventually be a strong limiting factor in your progression

Not sure how nobody has pointed this out, but you are _clearly_ letting yourself fall into the hole - your descend is slow and then you just relax and drop down.

That's god awful, you lose all tension and everything you buil up and then need to get out of the hole from there.
That's quite obviously the biggest mistake you are making.

I shouldn't have to "believe" it. Until he squats over 5 plates, then his personal best is 330x20. Impressive, but I'm not into speculating like a bitchnigger fanboy.

>and he sumo deadlifts 650 just fucking around he isnt hiding anything like manlet destiny or whatever

You're in the wrong hobby.

You are basically disabled. Go to rehab and start from bodyweight squats and calisthenics. You're a danger under the barbell.

I started Sheiko after doing 5/3/1 boring but big 3 month challenge and Sheiko feels like a joke to me. I'm doing intermediate small load. I barely feel like I'm getting a workout in. WHen I was done my 5x10 at 70% with 5/3/1 I felt like I was gonna die, now Sheiko has me doing 2x4 at 70% with a bunch of gay assistance work at 65%?

Should I just go back to 5/3/1 because so far this is easily the most dissapointing program I've ever done. Only thing I'm looking forward to is week 6 with 105% squats.

>>41496982
dunno m79, Sean was here for a LONG time trying his hardest to take this general down. I mean for YEARS, since before I tripped, probably.
>>41497060
C6W is phenomenal. It's not Sheiko or nothing m8 I loved C6W.

Go back to 5/3/1. Sheiko is for guys that need a retarded amount of volume to continue progression.

Do the most intensity and the least volume you can get away with for as long as you can. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

>>41497177
>>41497177
Well, except 5/3/1 that I was doing had a retarded amount of volume, way more than Sheiko does. It was regular 5/3/1 but then assistance work was just 5x10 of your daily exercise. Then the 3 month challenge is every cycle you add 10% to your assistance work. So standard is 5/3/1 then 5x10 at 50%. Next cycle is 5x10 at 60%, then 5x10 at 70%. So I'm able to do 5x10 at 70% why the fuck is sheiko having me do 2x4 and 3x4 at 75% and 4x4 at 70%? Then the assistance work does not come close to making up for the volume.

I've done a whopping 2 workouts but at the end of each one I wasn't even tired.

Could it be that my 1rm is just a lot higher than I think it is? I've never truly tested them so maybe it feels like a joke because I'm using, say, 275 as my 1rm for bench when a 315 (for example) 1rm would make the workout a lot more palettable

>>41497272
what are your stats

also the first phase of sheiko is supposed to be piss easy since its the adaption phase

I can bench more with wrist wraps too - they definitely put on some kilos.

>>41493956

I did one last "full" volume day, a regular light day, then on intensity day, just worked up to a single that would be my opener in a meet. The next volume day, I did 3x5 for bench and squat with about 80% of the weight I used on the last full volume day. Then I did half a light day (this could probably be skipped if you want), then I had the meet that Saturday.

So it's kind of a week and a half taper.

Just upload it to YouTube man, you can see that people are sceptical.

>>41497280
Well there is just p1 and p2 to intermediate small load and it says to just do those forever if you aren't going to compete (which I will never ever compete). P1 is a joke, p2 seems like it might be decent.

270lb (fatty mcfat), 485 squat, 485 dead, 275 bench, 205 ohp. But the only lift I've ever actually tested my 1rm on was squat, and that was 470. All those 1rm are from 1rm calculator and is what I used for 5/3/1 calculations and sheiko

>>41497775
Try medium load instead. I think it would suit you better, considering you're really an under 120 carrying lots of excess fat.

just got home after checking out some oly shoes. tried on adidas powerlift 3s and nike romaleo 3s. any thoughts on either of these?

All but two of them mention compression. Again, I don't own a pair so I can't confirm, but I'd rather spend a few more dollars and be safe rather than gamble. It's not like it's actually that huge of an investment in the grand scale of things.

how do I stay motivated to cut when I start failing reps and just am shit in general

>>41498611
paused low bars and heavy high bars fixed it right up for me. its an issue often with losing tightness in the bounce and/or having quads as the weak link (instead of extending the knee by pressing with the quads, he compensated by springing his hips up like that so his knees were more extended without him having to press it up with the quads.

>>41498611
Do more quad work, take more conservative PRs, in general or until your maxes don't look worse than your working sets (if your working sets don't have this problem), do a bunch of low rep sets to work on form.

>>41493297
everything that other anons said, as well as the fact that the body is more willing to add muscle if more fat is present. it wants to keep a nice balance of muscle and fat, and a good way to coax the ratio in favour of more mass is to also add more fat. of cuorse things like increased bodyweight, better leverages, more energy, better recovery, more nutrient etc etc all come into it.

>>41499153
>more willing to add muscle if more fat is present
But P ratio goes up when body fat % drops...
Just because higher body fat % allows you to carry more muscle mass, doesn't mean higher body fat % also allows for a greater rate of muscle gains.

yeah true but i wasn't talking about rate, i was only saying that the fatter you are, the higher your body's (natty) capacity to hold muscle. same goes for the other way, hence why natty BBers at 5% look like crap - thye lose a ton of muscle cause their body would rather keep the fat as far as i understand but i'm happy to be educated

>>41499220

Muscle retention decreases as one nears 5% bf because that's the minimum level of essential fat to which your body will start having massive hormonal drops and spikes. Otherwise, the amount of muscle your body can hold doesn't tend to change so long as nutrition, rest, and exercise are prioritized.

Having more fat gives better leverages and reduces ROM for a handful of lifts, hence why powerlifters in heavyweight classes are fatter, otherwise powerlifters tend to fill out their class with the most muscle mass possible following with it close-to if not sub-10% bf.

>>41499220

Natural BBers are usually amateurs who look like crap at 5% because they drop weight too fast and are terrible when it comes to getting stage ready. Most serious bodybuilders who can get to low, stage-ready bf% healthily are in untested competitions because roids are a necessity if you want to make money in bodybuilding. The few naturals who can get stage ready are always accused by anons as being frauds.

This is from the first day I tried lowbar. It felt really awkward and I realized I didn't go all the way down so I decided to finish the rep.

>>41500764
ow mine back

>>41500745
You literally have the bar above your toes, when it should be in the middle of your foot. I bet $100 you will add at least 15kgs to your deadlift in one week if you fix it. In short bar closer to your body.

>>41500764
wew lad. I was thinking about switchiing to lowbar but Im scared I'll do that and kms

>>41500776
Low bar is fine. Just start at a low weight and work your way up. This was 90% of my highbar max at the time.

>>41500771
Alright, thanks for the tip. Do you have any good videos or cues on how to get it closer?

>>41500764
Kek, its insane how far your squats have come. They may as well be perfect compared to before

>>41500807
Well first of all try setting up properly next time, instead of just running up to the bar and pulling. You literally pay no attention to your foot positioning. I know you were hyped and shit, but still it's no excuse to pull with shit form. Next time fucking walk up put your feet so the bar is over the middle of your feet, then set up without moving the bar and pull. Also noticed right before pulling you move bar forward like 1-2cm avoid that.

>>41500811
Kek, thanks. Yeah, still not good, but not nearly as bad.

>>41500845
Alright. I'll try to fix it, but grip and rip is what has worked for me. I literally failed 140 warmup today because I didn't. I guess working in that perfect stance is important though, looking forward to paying more attention during my lighter deadlifts next week.

>>41499620

lowbar is the best

>>41500891
In the bench press, your range of motion is reduced by lowering the bar to your massive rolls of fat and fat ol' tiddies, rather than to your chesticle muscles underneath the fat. The extra weight of flab on your bingo wings adds to the difficulty but this is more than compesated for by rom reduction.

In the squat, you've got ginormous rolls of fat compressing in your belly against your thighs and on your ham hocks and calves that allow a little more rebound on the bottom, like a squat suit made to look like flesh. Yeah you've got more pounds to lift on your body but again, same diff as with the bench.

Deadlift, not so much.

Generally, any extra weight subtracts from the ability to do the Olympic lifts, and generally the guys don't get as fat in the SHW as they do in PL. The women, that's another story, I suspect they get super fat in the top weight class in order to try and hide the masculinizing effects of the drugs they're on, Robles just finished a suspension before the Olympics last year.
