Who is top right?

Pls respond, could front squatting 5x5 every other day work or is it a guaranteed fail? I'm tempted to try it.

It's either 3x3 or 5x5 I'm not sure yet.

work or fail in achieving what exactly??

>>41602355
transcended into you?

>>41602175
Why does he think that? Haven't followed results

>>41602376
Work in developing a stronger, cleaner squat and becoming more comfortable squatting?
Or fail as in would front squatting 5x5 or 3x3 every other day just ruin me or could you recover from it? I've never really tried it.

>>41602398
he loss 1 rep by a referee on the viking press.

and it didnt matter cause fat hall will win anyway even with that

>>41602408
Front squats aren't that damaging. Plenty of WLers squat/front squat more than that in a week. Do some back squats though, nigger.

>>41602414
>and it didnt matter cause fat hall will win anyway even with that


why do you keep saying that?

>>41602398
judges didnt count his last rep on viking press even tho it was good. if he got 15 he would have tied with eddie and won overall. except he wouldnt have because eddie had more in the tank and only did 15 because it was what he needed to beat thor

>>41602408
you should just focus on back squatting better. slow your reps down. do pause reps. and play around with technique

>>41602432
read >>41602433

>>41602433
>xcept he wouldnt have because eddie had more in the tank


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyB_LrHm9oU&ab_channel=StartingStrongman

objectively incorrect, his last rep was clearly all he had left not to mention time ran out when he got that one

>>41602451
read
>>41602452

>>41602452
he was barely using leg drive, the rep was easy. he let the timer run down because he knew he didnt need it

>>41602452
t. halfwaytocry I mean halfthor

>>41602477
you're fucking delusional, he didnt let the timer run out, it literally just ran out when he got his last rep, why the fuck would he wait around and waddle for 20 seconds between that rep, if he had more in the tank he would have got the 15 with 30 seconds on the clock then ran away, that did not happen, he clearly couldnt have got another one even if time permitted, which it did not

also he clearly used all the leg drive he had it just isnt as noticeable as thors because he has short fat stubby legs

>>41602510
he had a long pause after ~11 which he didnt need. and have you seen him to yoke press in training, or other comp presses. he can get a huge amount from leg drive/ momentum. he just didnt need it here

>>41602492
Im just looking at it through an objective point of view

>>41602384
He wished, unrealistic goals so he committed sudoku

>>41602542
>which he didnt need
if he didnt need it he wouldnt have fucking taken them, he would have jst done the 15 then walked off, not nearly collapse on the ground and shake the weight up all the way

>he just didnt need it here

he did and he used all he had

>>41597912
Do some lighter deads if you don't like cleans. Like 2-3x5 stiff-leg deads, or a few speed deads. Or maybe good mornings. Something more hammy related than just adding more rows.

>>41602551
a dumb point of view. its very clear he was playing a points game. thats how these comps work. you do the minimum reps to be one ahead of your opponent

>>41602589
yes you can play the points but this was an instance where he gave all he could to get the points he needed, the minimum he needed was his maximum

>>41602575
have you actually seen his other presses. he uses his whole body. if he needed it, why didnt he use the full extent of his ability? and he took the break because he wanted to do the bare minimum and save it for the next event. consecutive reps are more taxing

>>41602610

why would he have waited to the very LAST second to do the last rep he needed, if it was easy he would have done it with time remaining then walk off, not wait to the last second as shit could have went wrong, grip slipping etc, he wouldnt have taken that risk unless he needed all the rest he could to do that last rep he may or may not have had

>>41602597
look at his other presses. that isnt what his max effort press looks like

Anyone seen decent gains from pairing nuckols squat and DL 2x routines?

>>41602629
cockiness

>>41602635
yes it is, I'm sorry but ive seen lots of strongman events where if they needed a set amount of points they get it and then walk off with time still on the clock, not once do they wait to the last millisecond to do the one important rep they need unless they were gasssed to the extreme

>>41602653
someone who is cocky would do 15 reps in 15 seconds then walk off not look like they were struggling and needing 20 second rests lol fuck off delusional britcuck

Here's my fatcep lol. So laying tricep extensions helped me get long head development that was very lacking from SS beginnings. Doesn't help bench though. But I started actually doing shrugs the first time ever and the carryover to bench seems incredible. All of the pressure is off my front delts!

>>41602692
Does it kill everyone to try to actually discuss lifting methods here or what? I was never a good bencher and I feel like this is a huge training breakthrough, was interested to hear what people thought of it, if they had similar experiences, or other training suggestions.

>>41602770
oh sorry i dont read what people write just comment on pictures or just pic a word or two out of the sentence

>>41602654
Coming from a cuck who doesnt compete at anything lol

>>41602781
what do you compete at, hotdog eating contests? topfucking kek for all the talk about you doing cardio it certainly does not show with your obese body, desu though id proably think about doing cardio too if i was a fat shit like you kek

>>41602578
Okay, thank you. From what I understand, the benefit of olympic lifting in routines is working on building explosiveness. Will I be missing out a lot if I don't do any?

>>41602792
You literally have a beer gut

>>41602907
Not too much, from a powerlifting or general strength or aesthetics perspective. The olympic lifts and/or plyometric exercises are primarily for strength training for general athletics, people who need to be strong AND explosive. Which isn't powerlifters, people who train for "fun" or a hobby, or people who just want to be bigger to look better. For those people, alter the program, make the substitution. the main issue with the listed program is that you want something pulling, that is either assistance to the dead/squat or works many of the same muscles, BUT at a lighter intensity and workload than deadlifts. Hence the choices I laid out.

>>41602988
this is a classic projection seeing how your arm unironically looks like a 35 dadbods arm who hasnt touched a barbell in 15 years

When should I reaaally wear a lifting belt?
I told myself i wouldnt buy one until i can squat 3 plates. Or should i wait longer?

Wrist wraps? Yay or ney?
Don't really have wrist pain or anything, barbell is basically always over my wrist, but should i cop and if so, whats a good length/brand?

Knee sleeves?
When would i need them? Not injured or anything, obviously not lifting a huuge amount of weight yet, so when would be a reasonable time to start using them?

Last one, I currently squat in converse and i dont feel anything wrong, should i even bother with squat shoes when the time comes?

>>41603389
belts are unlocked after 450lbs
wrist wraps are unlocked after a 330lbs bench

>>41603418
So you dont use either?

>>41603389
>Belt
Whenever you want
>Wrist wraps
Whenever you want
>Knee sleeves
Whenever you want, they're not necessary for anything but they make your knees feel comfy
>Squat shoes from converse
Squatting in heels vs flats is up to the person, I prefer squatting in heels, regardless of bar position. Others might not.

>>41603437
Nice projection Dino

>>41603437
Ahahahahaha

>>41603389

It's more about the %'s you are lifting that the actual weight.... if you are going for a new RM in the 1-5 range, you can wear a belt, albeit, you will look like a shit cunt if your 1RM squat is 205 with belt.

Also.... don't use a belt to compensate for shitty form or a weak core. Record yourself or have someone more experienced watch you squat/DL etc to determine this.

>>41604273
Heh, well good luck anon, get your sleep at least

>>41604330
lonelypl's. sorry. I only actually half read your shitposts t b h

>>41604230
Inzer or Titan for US and ipf approval. Prong or quick release for easy adjustability, lever or quick release for ease of taking it on and off/cranking it super tight, prong or quick release for a much lower chance of breaking/less need for maintenance (lever has screws and various bits that can fall out or come undone). 13 mm has extra support, 10 mm interferes with your positioning less (usually for deads), however there's no guarantee 13 mm will mess with your positioning. I'm a fat fuck and my 13 mm Titan longhorn lever has not messed with my mobility or positioning at all.

>>41604343
why even bother telling him about prong or lever when QR is objectively the best option. its the only one that forfills literally every desired criteria

>>41602248
That sounds like like excellent outing. God speed

>>41604340
theyre not shitposts when theyre backed by factual and photographic evidence you fucking mongoloid

>>41604360
Iirc, Titan only offers QR with 10 mm belts. Not sure about Inzer but I'd assume similar, if they even offer QR. Plus no matter how much you might like QR, others still might prefer lever or prong more, for whatever reason.

>>41602672
Better than blaha's. Gj mate, id love to see you measure it on a cut

>>41604360
>QR is objectively the best option
best option for mongoloid memeers maybe

I haven't been paying attention to the minute things like belts since they changed the rules to where you have to use "certified brands" but what is with this quick release?

I'm teaching my buddy how to lift. It's going fairly well. But he has kyphosis and cannot hold his arms above his head. Anyone know how to fix this and what to do with programming until he can do OHP?

>be dyel
>1rm squat is about 3 pl8
>Eric Bugenhagen says i can do 2pl8 for 20 if i get my mindset to it
>mfw did it yesterday and it wasnt even hard

also, tips on elbow / bicep tendon stress during low bar squats? i noticed stretching pecs helps a bit (only left side hurts me ever) but its also very reliant on my palm placement

>>41608914
Remember to flex your wrist slightly so that the bar is actually pushing against along the bone and not just falling backwards pulling your whole arm away from your back. Maybe remember to tighten upper back more? Helped for me both.

>>41608912
i think fuckton of rows and he has to fix his posture

i have shit posture myself because >vidya for 22 years
and rows and being conscious about posture helped me a bit

he might have garbage shoulder mobility tho

>>41608928
Alright. I'll have him try out some rows and start pestering him just a little bit more about being conscious about it.

>>41608980
Type in the problem he has into google and then write Dr stuart McGill after

>>41608912
Looks like mobility issue. I have kyphosis but I can lift the bar over my head, though obviously my back doesn't look straight when I do it.

>>41604486
>that squat dl ratio

are you a lanklet?

im afraid this is my future except i cant bench to save my life

>>41608988
Thanks, I'll forward this to him.
He probably has bad mobility too, but he can almost get in proper back squat stance so it shouldn't be completely shit. It's just the kyphosis and probably forward rolled shoulders and stuff. He doesn't seem to understand how to tighten the muscles in his upper back. It took me two weeks to make him use his glutes even.

Is adding some bodybuilding/pump sets of leg extensions and leg curls to TM ID or RD a bad idea? Will recovery be impeded too much? Cheers

>>41609649
If you want to do more bodybuilding, do a different program, or reduce your progression or working maxes. Otherwise you'll stall hard on TM

>>41608912
Shoulder dislocations, lat stretching using a straight pull up bar, pec stretching and chin ups should sort him out

I'm training my mum and she doesn't have the mobility either and this has improved things, she's not been at it long enough to get things in perfect order though

>>41609674
I have been on the TM for almost a year and have seen incredible strength gains. I'd rather keep improving and am not interested in bodybuilding enough to sacrifice that, just wondered if TM could be tweaked that way (added fronties to ID 3x3 which worked ok)

Leg extensions are always a bad idea, leg curls aren't much better. Adding accessories on Light Day is also generally a bad idea.

>>41610274
haha okay dino

did isley bomb yet

>>41610205
What's the matter with those exercises?

why do people use wrist wraps for bench I never get wrist issues

>>41610325

They aren't going to accomplish much, and leg extensions are a handy way to give yourself tendonitis at the knee.

You mentioned doing front squats. Those are better. If you've got the energy to do SLDL after ID or VD, and you can recover from them adequately, they'd made for a better hamstring/glute exercise than leg curls.

How close do you guys take your cgbp?
A hand or two hands narrower? Or more like pic related?

I would say as a general rule of thumb NEVER put your hands on the smooth. Those angles are really bad for your wrists.

Apart from that, I go about a small hand in. Normal grip for me is ring fingers on rings, close grip is a finger's worth of space between rings and my pinkies.

>>41610976
that is just wrist hurting bench press.
a 'real' CGBP is with your hands in line with your arms/shoulders. Keeping the elbows tucked in is what utilizes your triceps the most.

>>41610629
Why is everyone always able to deadlift more than anything, i thought squats would be easiest.

>>41611066
They are
>162,5 squat for 5 (comfortably)
>150 diddly for 5 (barely)

>>41611050
>>41611052
Yes, thanks for the input. I was already thinking that that close a grip was stupid.

>>41611052
is it okay to flare the elbows still? I also want to hit the pecs. My chest is more underdeveloped than my triceps.

>>41611084
the pecs get worked either way you fucking dummy why would you flare your elbows

primary function of the pecs is shoulder flexion

>>41609733
the unnecessary hip hinging only increases the range the bar moves through.

hence why his squat is so low

>>41609733
because its not a squat its a semi goodmorning you fucking retard you barely use the quads doing that plus it will lead to disc issues if you do it heavy enough just look at that jackass layne norton

its like setting up to do an ohp and you do a standing bench press instead basicly, oh yeah you got the weight up but your form is fucked

>>41610521

Hey lads,
sorta hit a wall in training.

Been cutting for 2 months now, down 6kg and my strength, especially upper body is doing poorly.

Is it feasible to deload 10% while going on with the deficit. Or should I reduce volume to improve my recovery. I'm running a TM split variant and have made some gains on my dead and squat.

what did isley bench?

How the fuck did Tom Platz only max out at 600 pounds when he did 525x23 at the same event? Even just x12 should easily put him at a 700+ squat.

I studied all day and didn't exercise. It's mid night now.
So I guess I will have to get up early tomorrow and lift first thing. No way will I do that now.

Unfortunately, I ate too much food today for a day where I didn't exercise.

>>41611491
200 kg

nearing my 4th year of lifting and i just figured out how to lowbar squat right, with proper bar placement, stretch reflex and hip drive. it all just clicked a week ago. feels amazing

>>41611552
I'm assuming they did 1RM first. It was a competition between him and some other guy. Otherwise it'd be retarded. Just watch the first guy and do 1 more rep. I doubt Tom would do 23 reps when his opponent only did 12 unless it was at the end of the event.

>>41611497
Hes a bodybuilder that never worked with low reps. If he worked with lower reps for a 12 week training cycle his squat would have been a lot stronger

>>41611497
Rep calculators are based on an average, and usually that average trainee runs across the rep ranges 1-10 or at least is somewhere near the midpoint with a lot of training. In that way they're similar to the running "race calculators" which assume someone is training for both the 5K and the marathon in terms of the conversion (because those people are the base for the calculator's data).

People who work exclusively in very low reps, or very high reps, don't train the capabilities for the other rep range as much as people who do 5s or do a mix or reps like most programs have (some higher reps, at least for accessory work). He probably never or nearly never trains a weight that needs rate coding in order to lift successfully.

>would say as a general rule of thumb NEVER put your hands on the smooth. Those angles are really bad for your wrists.
Hands completely in the smooth is asking for trouble. Generally I go further in than you do, just barely touching the smooth with my thumb. My regular is rings on the rings.

>>41609705
>>41609674
You can toss some pump stuff onto ID, I'd recommend it actually. Nothing crazy, just some triceps extensions or yeah, stuff like leg curls.

>>41610976
I do a hand or so narrower usually but sometimes go as narrow as shoulder width, which is what people are usually talking about when they say CGBP

>>41611084
I still flare because that's what's most comfortable for my shoulders/how I best keep my shoulder blades in place

Nice. I love doing that.

Performing one upper body movement twice a week, not for powerlifting but purely as a means to build upper body strength/size whilst weightlifting.

Bench vs CGBP vs Dips and why?

>>41610976
Shoulder width or a little further out than that

>>41611905
Probably CGBP if you're doing WLing. The other two options are perfectly fine thought too.

Bought a red slingshot, where can I read up on programming for it? Have a hurt shoulder but don't wanna quit training .

>>41612173
Just program bench with slanger in place of it. Idk what you mean

>>41612115
because it was written by a talentchad who has no idea how to program and puts deadlifts down on his own foot

>>41612115
That's a tough day, no doubt about it.

>>41612189
I'm trying to think of a good way to incorporate this piece of equipment into my training. I hope that it'll help me achieve a decent total in the fall. I need to see how I can use the slingshot to help with my shoulder injury as well

>>41611905
CGBP in my opinion

in my experience close grip carries over to my overhead press and every other pressing variant, whereas OHP doesn't carry over to anything (it barely carries over to itself, please put a bullet in my GDE head) and pinkies at rings + width bench doesn't carry over to overhead press or other presses as much

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCZTaLd4xHY

what song is this? i dont remember where I've heard it from

are there any novice/just above novice programs that have rows, bench, and press 3x a week? i'm coming to the end of linear gains but i like doing all 3 in one upper body session.

>>41612242
Are you benching without the slanger as well? Id recomend programming your bench press normally aa if your shoulder was all good. Then break out the slanger whenever your shoulder gets angry.
For example if you programmed a 5x5@75%
You could do the first 3 sets then, if you felt some pain on that 3rd set, use the slingshot for the last two.
Does that make sense? Im typing in between high rep diddlr sets so this could be gibberish for all I know

>>41612115
definetly one of the hardest days, but the gains are good

>>41612115
I'm doing w5 at moment. Not looking forward to to w1. The soreness after w1d1 is fucking vile.

Alright you fat fucking tubby lard arses

>>41611905
Dips because they look cool lol

>>41612431
Its pure hell, took me an hour to do those sets.

The DL are just painful my lower back is so fatigued by the end of squats/.

>>41602452
The reason he still would have won if thor got more on viking press is he went easy on the stones because he knew he only needed to get 5th to win

Compare his performance to how he's done with stones in the past and you'll see what I mean

>>41612302
I haven't benched since last Monday. I'm looking to work around my injury and train my chest and back more. I still wonder if I am able to bench with the slanger or not

>>41612625
by just saying this I can already tell you read some rippetoe book and now think you know everything there is to know about lifting weights

OHP carries over to other presses really well if your other presses are being limited by your front delts

if they aren't, it won't do much of anything

>>41612656
I fukin guarantee your ohp is shit

>>41612625
Push press has much more carryover to bench than OHP

>>41612669

Lads ive decided it's time to actually learn how to deadlift with a flat back. How would you reccomend I go about this? Ive been deadlifting with low back rounding for so long its basically second nature.

>>41602111
I mean that's not too bad tbH. It's not something to show off but it's pretty decent.

>>41612679
that makes no sense
>>41612687
oh yeah sure and how much you bench again

Is it ok to run different routines for different lifts? I'm a weak presser, so want to alternate bench and OHP every workout, 3x week, like in SS, but using something like 5/3/1 progression for each lift.

However, I play a lot of sport so want to reduce my lower body volume, so am going to follow Greg Nuckols' 2x week intermediate squat routine, and 1x week DL routine.

If this doesn't work, what's a good 3x week routine that focuses more on pressing (both bench and OHP), with occasional DL and some squat progression?

tl;dr - Can I do 5/3/1 for Bench and OHP and a different progression for squat + dead?

>>41610933

No problem. I don't know why it didn't cross my mind earlier, but I realized that glute/ham raises are a MUCH better way of accomplishing the same shit leg curls do. You just need a solid Roman Chair to do them in.

>>41611733

I am capable of front squats well to depth. They can't be THAT fucking hard.

How do I stop being sad

>that makes no sense

>>41610490
Holds your wrist straight so you can better transfer force through it to the bar. Some people use it just for this, not because they have pain or anything

>>41612977
yes

>>41612977
I don't see why not. Obviously just make sure you get enough rest so that some part of your routine isn't causing a different part to stall and adjust volume/intensity of whatever lift if you feel you need it

>>41612244
I disagree with this. If you've got weak delts and triceps but a strong chest (like I do), focusing on OHP will definitely aid your bench

>>41611733
>not being able to front squat properly
I shiggy diggy

>>41612606
No, it was just a couple things coming together that resulted in aggrivating an old injury. I'm trying to find the best way to work around this problem and not make up excuses.

The bones in my arms have started to ache a little after finishing my bench sets. Am I benching with too wide of a grip, maybe? I'm benching with a pretty wide grip, but its at this grip width that I'm strongest

I've got a terrible shin splint

What do uhhh.....

>>41611497
Maybe the other guy squatted 595 for an 1RM and he lowballed it.

>>41610309
No, I benched a PB (200kg) and came 9th :)

>>41613610
You held 3rd place the whole first round with 190kg too, haha

have a bit of a problem.

Im only progressing on my squat while my other lifts are not were they should be

SQ-280
DL-270
OHP-95
BP-170

idk if i should stay at 270 while the rest of my lifts catch up. Any advice?

>>41613669
pls be kgs

>>41613673
nope, lbs. new to lifting

>>41613683
I'm no expert, but maybe you don't quite pace yourself in your workouts. If you give it your all for squat and have no energy and focus left for the other, both strength and form will suffer

>>41613722
i give myself a good 5 min before each set.

How long should I wait after attempting a 1RM to safely attempt it again? I tried last week and I want to try again next week as I fucked myself over and didn't get my true 1RM.

>>41613634
Yeah I know, was bants.

>>41613467
which is why i prefaced that entire post with "in my experience", and not with "for everyone, all the time, always"

>>41612891
how doesn't it make sense? push press is less front delt limited and lets the triceps be loaded much more heavily as a result, which tends to carry over to bench press a whole lot more than front delt work (unless your front delts specifically are weak)

nah man. There are other factors. There's water retention / bloat etc, plus on a time period as short as that one hasn't passed out all of the mass they intook to get X calories.

One could eat a pound of fat and obtain 3500 kcals, or one could eat a pound of tree bark or cardboard and obtain zero calories, or anything inbetween. But either way, you're not carrying an extra pound of mass around with you until you shit it out

which is what I'm experiencing rn
