I don't do weighted pull ups or chins though. I just do 25-35 full ROM in a row to close out workouts and it forces a number 1-10 for some reason.

did you sever your spine or something?

>tfw started from subpar in everything

>>41863112
check your expected weight for your height in https://symmetricstrength.com/calculator/ideal_bodyweight and then use "Bodybuilding, IFBB Fitness Division" (usually a median value of the possible values at different bf% of the "Maximum muscular potential for drug-free athletes") as your weight in the standards calculator (as you see, it's adjusted per weight). And quit that permabulking sometimes

>>41863168
Wtf maximum weight for 5'8 at 10% body fat is 175 lbs? Isn't that a little low?

>>41861933
Are you literally in a wheelchair?

>>41861933
I literally cannot tell the difference in color of subpar and world class

>>41863250
You might be color blind or your screen is shit

Do u add weight of bar

>>41863213
>176 cm
>maximum muscular potential at 10% bf is 82 kg
nothing wrong here, dear permabulking wannabe powerlifter
at Oly levels it's stated to be 105 kg, but that's a different set, game and championship (and bf% are not computed)

>>41863290
>176 cm
5'8 != 5.8'
I know it's retarded
it's actually 172.72 cm
so at 10% the max bodyweight is deemed to be 79 kg

>>41863168
I don't understand the difference between classic division and fitness division, can anyone pls explain ?

>>41863315

http://www.ifbb.com/rules/
http://www.ifbb.com/our-disciplines/
TL;DR the fitness division has weight limits and it has been introduced first for women
>who prefer to develop a less muscular, yet athletic and aesthetically pleasing physique
then it has been extended to men.
You're valued for your general presence, confidence and handsomeness (CHAD POINTS) as well.
If you're pointing to aesthetics this is likely your reference point, rather than a standard Olympic bodyweight.

About what I expected. I thought my bench would be in the "advanced" range though.

All in all, pretty happy for only been lifting hard for 6 months.

>>41865987
>>41864564
Opposites

>>41865804
his press to bench ratio is much more proportional than rest of /fit/, looks like he is actually using strict form compared to some other e-statters

>wake me up inside

>maximum amount of reps is ten
>did 15 yesterday

wew

Warning to any /fat/fucks who are cutting, at a higher weight it expects higher lifts but if you can cut and keep the same lifts you could well go up a colour

>>41864564
lol my squat used to be terrible. snapped my shit up a year ago and had to recover. I now lift heavy squats twice a week.

Hit a 3pl8 a2g pause squat last night (which is double my bodyweight).

Maybe switch to lowbar if your squat is causing you trouble. highbar was the cause of all my squat problems.

>>41865987
Negatives or 5/3/1

>>41864564
If you bench that much, your rows should be much higher.

>>41863156

I'm 100% blue man, I squat just a little bit more than you and I go ATG. I don't understand why you think people are bullshitting.

>>41867155
I actually have never tried to go super heavy on rows. And somehow i dont see how it should correlate anterior delts, pecs and triceps strenght with posterior delts, biceps, romboids and traps.
>>41867175
I weight 75kg, how much do you weight?
And this is how my legs look like. >>41866394

>>41866886
Do you have hueg abductors that rub each other? That is actually the reason i stoped heavy squating.

>>41867248
