>>41514119
Project momentum has been magical for my bench, I tend to really get in my head when bench feels heavy and the @8 singles helped a lot with confidence. Ido definitely recommend momentum building for bench

Yeah, but since my form is still shit I should work on it. And I'm gaining weight. You can't expect someone to put on 20-30 lbs of pure muscle in a year.

>>41514967
you sound like you have a fucking mental block when it comes to not just lifting and instead obsessing over form

>>41514983
>implying I don't just lift
I put 200 lbs on my total in the last year. I've been just lifting and that's what caused me to have shitty form. Now I'm trying to focus on it to make up for not doing that before.

>>41514983
he has a mental block when it comes to visible abs

>>41514999
well figure your shit out dude everytime you post its worrying about if your back is straight or youre tight enough or whatever. its not actually that insanely big of a deal and isnt hard to fix at all just remember to do it when you lift i dont understand your issue
>>41515004
lol is that why youre so small?

>>41515011
>well figure your shit out

thats literally what hes doing??

>>41515021
hes been doing it for fucking ever WHY DOES IT TAKE THIS FUCKING LONG

i remember my first year of lifting i tried deloading and fixing my form all the time and its retarded

>>41515021
this desu

>>41515011
>>41515004
And I'm up 28 lbs in the last 2 years. I don't see what the problem is. Since I started out turbo skelly it's gonna take me a while to be big by your standards.

>>41515028
I'm not deloading to fix my form though. I'm just doing normal work sets and trying to focus on it more.

Mixing programs, yay or nay? I like canditos 6 week program but i feel like im not seeing as much progression on my bench as i am my squat and deadlift, any programs i can swap in instead for that, or do i just need to work harder on my upper body accessories?

>>41515037
28lbs in 2 years? are you serious?

my first year of lifting i went from 120 to not quite 170

>>41513668
kek'd

>>41515041
Yeah and I bet your bf % went from 12 to 20%+.

Daily reminder that excess fat just lowers your wilks, making you worse at the sport of powerlifting. My wilks is around 345 after 2 years. I think that's not terrible progress at all.

>>41515039
It's fine to do that. Try looking at nuckols 3x int med bench to see if it looks like something you'd like. Really any 3x a week benching program could work as a substitute.

>>41515057
i went from around 10 to 16% why do you care about that shit so much get over it

how much do you weigh?

Again, my wilks went up 50 points in the last year. I think my progress is fine.

Make sure you adjust it so that it's not automatically upping your max every week. Only raise your max if you get 9+ reps on the AMRAP.

Is a strongman log harder to press than a barbell? A friend of mine posted pictures of his wife's strongman local comp and she did a log plus 55lbs, so that's like 125lbs I think.

probably since its so akward to handle but i think the handles inside the log are lined up the opposite direction of a barbell so its different a little bit

The standing press is objectively better than bench press, which is a meme lift for wankers.

>Those weight classes

why.jpg

They don't seem to have any rule against excessive layback during the standing press, which is probably a good idea, really.

I don't know who they got to be in the pictures for the deadlift part of the rules, but his stance is too wide and his toes too straight forward.

I searched the archive but couldn't find it.

>>41516476
Cuck

>>41516384

A same day weigh in will generally keep that mild while still allowing you to stay hydrated so you don't goddamn pass out without fear of missing weight because you forgot to take a piss before your last deadlift.

Weigh outs are retarded.

>>41516448

No. Chalk is specifically allowed. Baby powder is slippery, dangerous bullshit that the retards in the USAPL allow other retards to put on their thighs, ostensibly to aid in deadlift in some way. All it fucking did in actuality was get everywhere, including the soles of my shoes, making all of it slippery as fuck.

What I don't understand is why you would even allow knee sleeves if you're going to require that they be so loose as to be useless.

>>41515447
I like the idea and I like most of the changes he made to root out bullshit. But he still manages to come up with some himself. F.ex not allowing thumbless grip on The Press and the weigh-outs. Won't that make people compete depleted?

>>41516250
They do have a rule about excessive layback during the press.
>The bar must be below the level of the undersurface of the chin. Excessive raising of the chin to artificially limit the range of motion of the press will not be permitted.

>>41515551
Yes. Very much harder. Think of it like only being able to use your front delts and triceps while also being smothered by it since you have to put it practically on your neck to have a stable platform to push from.

>>41513678

>>41515039

My maintenance is about 3000. That's not a lot of food for a cheat day.

>>41519106
I don't know what to say, I weighed 220lbs at the start of this cut and my cutting calories was 2200, maintenance was 2700. I also run 3x a week on top of lifting.

How you have 3000 calorie maintenance is beyond me

>>41514141
depends on the amount of volume you are doing

File: Autism.png (43KB, 512x631px) Image search: [Google]

43KB, 512x631px

>>41519160
I think your maintenance is higher than 2700 and you haven't been counting correctly. The only way to really know what your maintenance calories are is to track your calories very closely for a couple weeks and weigh yourself every day to take the average change. Whenever I'm not eating out with people I weigh basically everything and log all my calories.

Here's a pic of my calories and weight over time from last year while I was bulking pretty aggressively.

>>41519212
I see, I'm just going off those calorie calculators which all seem to put me in the ballpark of 2700 calories
If that's wrong then that would explained why I'm loosing weight when I thought I was greatly overindulging.

Only annoying thing is I'm losing a lot of weight and not looking any different. I've lost 10kilo so far and look the same as day one except so much weaker hmph.

>>41519250
Yeah those calculators are usually for people who don't lift or don't have very much muscle mass. If you're a big guy maybe try sticking to around 2500/day and see how your weight changes.

Also while cutting it's easy to feel like you don't look any different since there isn't much of a visible difference between 13-17% bf or so. As long as the scale is going down you are making progress on your cut.

Just be sure to eat lots of protein and don't slash your volume so you can retain as much muscle mass as possible.

>>41513356
Hey guys, I'm interested in going to a powerlifting mete at some point to experience it. I could probably find a local one at my uni, or some other one. What kind of lifts or wilks score should I aim to have before hand to not utterly embarrass myself?

>>41519301
My first meet over a year ago I only had a wilks of like 287. I still had fun and did better than some people. You won't embarrass yourself as long as you try hard and do well for you.

>>41519285
Anaerobic muscle mass barely add to maintenance though.

I'd say most of this board is around or less than 3k kcal for maintenance.

>>41519352
>most of this board
Yeah, most of this board can't even squat 3 pl8.

If you spend 7-8 hours lifting each week and weigh around 200 lbs, I find it hard to believe your maintenance could be below 3k.

And some calculators actually do a decent job of estimating my TDEE. Try out the fitness frog TDEE calculator.

>>41519386
Idk, I'm 6'4 240 lbs and im quite sure maintenace is around 3k.

But i guess there is a good deal of genetics in there too, who knows.
As well as personal lifesytle (job/hobies, ...)

>>41519417
I think it's more likely you aren't precisely tracking your calories and weight change over time. I've literally been autistically doing it since I started lifting.

Remember that when you initially up your calories, you'll have my glycogen in your muscles, more food and water in your body, etc so your weight will initially spike a little. If you strictly stuck to 3k/day for a month I bet you'd lose some weight.

my lower dynamic is
8x2 squats 80%

Deadlift: 1x5 for new 5rm

Takes 3 hours, but 4 hours including getting there and such.

>>41520831
The 7x5 guy claims that's the only way he can still progress, and that he's done 13 week cycles of Sheiko, ph3, and momentum yet doing a hard 7x5 works where others fall short. If I ever go to a point where something as extreme as that is all that worked I'd just become a bodybuilder.

>>41520831
>me roidaroo routine that hasnt made me gains in 4 years only takes 1 hour
HOW CULD IT POSSIBLE BE

>>41520847
youre resting too much

10 minute warm up
say each rep is on average 10 seconds, which is fucking generous, and 3 minutes rest between sets thats 16 minutes, 10 minutes between squat and bench, then another 10 between bench and deadlift

thats just over an hour, 63 mins, youve got just under half an hour to do assistance and theres 90 mins, half of what you take

Bruhhhh

About how strong should someone be after ~7 months of lifting? I'm fat (5' 10", 198 lbs) and my numbers are as follows:

270 bench
330 squat
385 deadlift

are these typical? atypical?

>>41520936
if true thats fucking great

>>41520887
Dude..
I need at least 7 minutes rest between my squats. I usually take 8, then put on belt and drink and go.
For bench I can do with 6 or 7 minutes.
Then for deadlift I need a good 5 minutes after warm-ups. And also a good 5-10 minutes between each exercise. Then do curls and shit.

>>41520925
1 set of 5 reps for a personal best. That's a new 5rm.

>>41520921
thats cool but why are you telling people how long to rest

>>41520949
Don't do your heavy deads after your volume squats, this is like the oldest and gayest iteration of TM that exists. And I think you're resting way too long and going too heavy, seems like you'd be better served by doing more sets rather than such heavy weight that a set of five knocks you out for seven minutes.

reducing rest periods is a great way of increasing work capacity, also doing conditioning work such as sled drags/loaded carries will all help work capacity

in time your ability to recover will get better, meaning each subsequent session will feel better and youre not going to have so many sessions where you feel like shit, also you will bounce back quicker after a max attempt or meet

>>41520941

yea it's true, no need for me to make up numbers on a chinese cartoon forum

how can i get more balanced? I'm pretty fat rn so I wanted to cut to 83 kg weight class, maybe even lower, and compete in usapl within a year but my squat and dead arent v proportional with my bench

>>41520997
youve almost got a 1000lb total at 198 in 7 months, yes

>>41520970
But I like this version, it works great. It's not that it knocks me out for 7 minutes. I could probably do another in half that, but then I would not be able to do the 3rd, so I need to pace myself so I don't end up breezing through the first one and failing a later one.

And like >>41521000 advices to, I am working on reducing it. I'm already down from 10 minutes that I NEEDED not long ago.

>>41521002

Malamutes are beautiful dogs. My friend just got an Alaskan malamute puppy. Did you know that the Alaskans that bred malamutes would occasionally breed them with wild wolfs to help the malamutes keep their survival instincts?

I love dogs. It's truly amazing how dogs and humans co-evolved as a result of their companionship.

>>41521009
Would you date me? My vagina is tight and I'm told it tastes really sweet and feels good, but it smells like feces.

>>41521002
You'll get more balanced as time goes on, you'll be able to take bigger jumps with squat and dead than you will be able to with bench.

I just posted this in qttdtot, but i want your guys perspective on this.

I don't want to squat or deadlift anymore, I do not want to risk a back injury. I've considered three alternatives, pistol squats, dumbbell split squats and dumbbell stiff-leg single-leg deadlifts.

These all seem to hit the quads and the posterior chain, but what would I lose by doing these alternatives instead of doing basic barbell squats and deadlifts? Is there any way to make up for these loses?

Dude, squats and deadlifts strengthen your back. You won't get injured if you know your limits and do shit properly.

>>41521128
We speculated if it might be streamed on floelite, but floelite is the least professional site ever so no one knows. Seems like they don't though, but there is a channel that has some clips from it on youtrube along with a spread-sheet of the results thus far (not official results mind you)

>asking /plg/ if you can stop doing squats and deadlifts
wew. Also no. You can't. Those exercises are basically just balancing tricks that aren't particularly trainable. They're in no way equivalent to actual squats and DLs, and anyone who tells you they are is blowing smoke up your ass.

So even if I switch out the barbell lifts for similar dumbbell lifts, which hit the same muscles, I would not adequately train the muscles? I would continue to progressively overload these movements.

If I were to do the dumbbell movements that I mentioned, what precisely would I miss out on and how does it work? Can someone explain the biomechanical difference between the barbell movements and the dumbbell movements that I mentioned?

How about instead of insulting me you actually answer my original question?

I want to know how doing dumbbell split squats and stiff-leg single-leg dumbbell deadlifts will differ from the barbell movements. So far everyone just told me that they are inferior movements without offering an explanation.

>>41521207
A pistol squat will never load your body the same way a barbell back squat will. There's no "adequately training the muscles" to make up for removing the biggest compound lifts you can do.

>>41521252
Seems like a good boy, very cute ears.

>>41521255
You can't compensate for not doing huge, whole-body lifts. The squat is not a leg movement, the deadlift is not a back movement, both lifts require you to use pretty much everything you've got to either directly lift or stabilize.

>>the fact you will never hold a dumbbell as heavy as what you can put on a barbell
So, if I do a stiff-leg single-leg dumbbell deadlift while holding two 100-pound dumbbells, how does that not equal doing a 400 pound barbell deadlift?

>>the fact they require less stabilisation
How? It's more difficult to balance myself on one leg than it is on two legs. If I have to balance myself on one leg during a movement, as opposed to using both my legs, how am I missing out of stabilization? If anything, it seems like it would train balance and stabilization more than the barbell deadlift.

The grip demands and the stress on your back is not the same.

>>41521337
Not loading your spinal erectors, your abs, your grip, your traps, or anything else nearly as hard. Deadlifts aren't a hamstring isolation.

>>41521207
Your muscles are designed to work in specific ways, to achieve specific ends. They almost never work in isolation, and they almost never work unilaterally. Therefore, isolation exercises and unilateral exercises are much less effective than bilateral exercises.

Also, worth pointing out that silly unilateral shit is much more likely to hurt your back than just squatting and deadlifting. When you do those correctly, your abs, erectors, and a bunch of other trunk, leg, and upper back muscles are working together to keep your spine rigid and balance the load across it. When you're doing unilateral exercises you're essentially putting asymmetrical stress on your spine, which is a top way to fuck something up.

>>41521890
youve probably lost muscle at an even rate therefore not affecting your bf%

What are some things I can do for shoulder health apart from external rotation and facepulls?

Any stretches for at home?

I doubt they do. But as you can see with Hafthor, he is a bit of a showman, and he is a freak so it is fun to see even for someone not interested in the sport. Wish they held the comps in the parts of the world where the fans actually live though.. so we could come watch..

>>41522107
It's possible but unlikely. There are people way way fatter than you who cut successfully without hormone problems.

I think you should just keep cutting until you're comfortable with how fat you are, then you can go back to bulking soon after.

Has your strength been going down much on your cut?

>>41522115
I tried that, lost weight, but didn't get leaner.

No, pretty baseline.

Work capacity took a hit though. Was considering slashing volume, but i might not now.

>>41522151
Do your best to keep it up. If you lower volume a little it's okay, but when people slash volume and calories, that's when you really lose muscle.

I bet you are getting leaner even if it isn't noticeable yet. Maybe you're down to 20% bf from 23% or something? Try to take a picture each month or two in the same lighting and position.
