Am I witnessing an actual non ironic autistic tantrum currently?

It's very simple, 18 year old boy lovers and people without fathers can go post in frogs thread, and powerlifters can post in this thread

>right side of lower back feels uncomfortable after deadlifting
>when doing squats left leg does more work and outside of left knee tends to hurt after doing heavier squats
>right leg feels tighter than left leg in general and when flexing
>when tiptoing right calf feels tighter than left leg and its uncomfortable/hurting below my toes on the right side

Is my hip the problem? I try to stretch everything in this area, but it doesnt seem to help that much other than better mobility. Any one knows whats wrong with me and what to do?

>>41864552
yes its hip imbalance

Does anybody here actually like cardio day?

I like it because it makes me feel more athletic

>>41864618
No one here does cardio.

>>41864647
>41864647


I do dumbell complex crossfit style... sometimes...

>>41864587
Control our (esp squat) reps and be very mindful of hip shift in the hole. Paused squats can help with that, light lunges might be useful too.

>>41864618
Just did a 5k, got a Tough Mudder this weekend because I got memed into it by my gf, but yeah, I like being in shape and being able to break into a run without feeling creaky and stiff. Plus powerlifting is a hobby I use to keep my lifting goal-oriented more than it is something I'll ever excel at.

Nuckols dropped a spreadsheet in which he coded just under 50 studies on periodization:

>>41864757

>>41864618
I do a sport that requires a reasonable amount of cardio and do sprints/cyxling/ rowing machine work to complement that

It's not uncommon to shift slightly to your stronger side as you come back up out of the hole and if you've been doing it a long time you probably don't notice it unless you focus on it. Next squat sesh you have just play around with 1pl8 for a couple sets, pause some reps, knock out a few higher rep sets, try to keep your whole lower body engaged and firing, then work up to your heavier sets. You'll lose a little bit off your top end work but it's one day.

>>41866092
Thing is the problem isnt limited to squats, so I guess ill have to look how to fix my hips before I squat/deadlift heavier again.

>>41866138
Are you a chair-dweller like the rest of us? Start here:

http://danjohn.net/2013/12/minimalist-stretching-and-mobility/

Basically learn to really stick your ass back and hinge. Like your whole ass, your inner ass, not just like "butt back," more "hip bones and musculature all perfectly set to generate power and move weight"

>>41866186
>Are you a chair-dweller like the rest of us?
Yes when im not lifting, playing sports im usually sitting.

hey guys, is cgbp a good accessory for me if my normal grip is pretty wide? Ive been thinking of using dumbell bench as an accessory instead.

>>41866901
Close grip (shoulder width, forearms parallel to the ground at the bottom of the press) should be your primary bench movement.

Wide grip for competition prep only.

I don't like lifting anymore. I still want to bench, but I don't enjoy anything else.

You may as well just drive there if your gonna throw your run into the trash like that.

I want to do 5/3/1 style squats 2x a week

1 harder - 5/3/1

2 lighter - somethin like from more squatting template or do 5/3/1 front squats on the other day

ideas?

>>41868160
why does it throw my run in the trash. Im not running to lose weight, just to have better cardio and shit

>>41868288

That is a reputable variant of 531. If it matches your goals or your wants, then do the damn thing 100%, and see if you make progress

i bought a pair of metcons and i love them

didn't really want to splurge on "weightlifting" shoes

people who lift more than me wear metcons, so i wear metcons

>>41868370

I like it more beacuse Jim gives me real numbers, when Nuckols is like HURR DURR PUSH LIKE THAT EACH WEEK

not to my liking

for bench Im doing nucklos 3x int

I need also in addition some good not much volume deadlift scheme like 1x a week on front squat doing conv dl but not killing myself, not high reps and on monday after lowbar some rdls or snatch grip

>>41868390

I have weightlifting shoes and I dislike liting in them desu, way my body is build allows me to have good squats without wl shoes so there is no reason for me to have ones

+ in metcons, nanons any conditioning after should be easy, right?

what you wear before? chucks maybe?

lads how do you get started when writing papers? I always struggle to start

>>41868449
did all my lifts barefoot before, since i had a homegym. heading off to Uni (finally) in the Fall so i needed some shoes to wear there when i work out

>>41866901
>>41866928
Shoulder width isn't necessary, somewhere between there and comp bench width is fine, even like a hand's breadth in from comp bench is good enough. You should always be using your comp bench grip to some extent though, even if it's only for a few sets a week.

>>41868501

>>41868002
hey lad, you gave me a tip about deload week a week ago. I've lost 2kgs during that week and did first day of c6w and 4x6 squats went so easy I added 5kgs for last 3 sets. Dunno how that happened but thanks laddo, you're a good guy.

>>41868562
"Powerlifters" are so terrified of a full range of motion

>>41868687
Weren't you going to start Dietmar 4-day?

>>41868288
5/3/1 fronts would work, or you could just take your FSL weight and hit like 5 sets @8 RPE on a second day, I've done both.

>>41868871

on fronts day I would also do main dl but I hate amraping on dls, what dls program would you advice?

I like dling conv 1x a week, and maybe rdling 1x

>>41868475
Create a rough outline, start with your first body paragraph, go from there, and write your intro after you finish the rest

>>41868754
Full range of motion is not "fullest possible range of motion" and shoulder width grip will make it impossible for a lot of people to keep their backs tight. Also this is a powerlifting thread so fuck off back to /fit/.

>>41868906
Do joker sets up to a semi max set of 5, 3, or 1 then drop back to your main weight for the day and do a conservative AMRAP

>>41869028
You're completely deluded if you think a full range of motion bench press prevents you from keeping your back tight or is not valuable for a powerlifter

If you're not getting your elbows below the bench for at least one session per week I'm pretty sure you have a sub two plate bench press

>>41869059
Archlet detected

>>41869059
You must be a lanky faggot. Pick another sport or do deadlift only.

>>41869074
>>41869124
I bench close-grip only for a majority of my sessions

Do you know why? Because it is superior for muscular and strength development for the bench press

I still incorporate pin presses, incline press, competition bench, and other variations as well, but shoulder with bench press is the core of a raw natural lifters bench protocol

Enjoy your blown out shoulders and your stalling bench press plateaus

>>41869167
TIL """""full ROM"""" is superior to specificity

>>41869047

mfw sounds fun

t-tthanks annon

rdling on lowbar day for 2x8 is good?

>>41869210
For novices, at least, more ROM leads to more size and strength gains, tho no evidence is found for trained individuals (due to lack of research, I think it was). This knowledge is starting to get old (a year at least, I guess), so it might've changed without me knowing.

>>41868789
Nah, maybe it was someone else. I've been running c6w 3 times in a row without any deload and it caught up to me. Still gonna run c6w until I can't progress anymore on it.

>>41867953
I literally only like bench

>>41869368
Consider deloading between every cycle. It won't have a negative impact on your gains in the long run, but it will have a positive impact on your joints.

>>41869366
And that may be true for novices, but for an intermediate or advanced lifter, to me at least, it just doesn't make sense that training in a very different way to how you compete would be better for strength gains. I'm not arguing against doing variations though, because they help to stave off injury that being extremely specific would cause to a (usually advanced) lifter, as well as make training more interesting/fun, etc. I'm just saying that dogmatically telling everyone to do close grip bench for 99% of their bench work is retarded.

It is, in the long run. Intermediates still have a lot of muscle to build, and somewhat lower specificity helps in this regard. It builds a more solid base. Not sure what you view as "very different".

Also, I can't see how what you're saying you said is what you actually said. As far as I can tell, your post simply indicated more ROM is not better than specificity for strength. Would be nice if you could clear that up for me tbH. I still agree with your point, tho.

Just snipped a callus off using scissors because I was bored on the shitter and it seemed like an interesting idea. Went pretty well. Is this an actual thing?

>It is, in the long run. Intermediates still have a lot of muscle to build, and somewhat lower specificity helps in this regard. It builds a more solid base. Not sure what you view as "very different".
And I would agree that doing variations cause different stimulus causing more overall hypertrophy, but in terms of strength, this is where I disagree. What I mean by very different is, IME, the bar path and the degree to which muscle is engaged is very noticeably different when I compare my cgbp to my comp style bench. My triceps are way more heavily used in cgbp, where my chest and shoulders (especially my shoulders) are used a lot more in comp style bench. Simply put, although my triceps are lacking (which I am putting effort into fixing), it would make more sense to focus on making my chest and shoulders stronger, since they are what take the vast majority of the stress in comp bench.

>Also, I can't see how what you're saying you said is what you actually said. As far as I can tell, your post simply indicated more ROM is not better than specificity for strength. Would be nice if you could clear that up for me tbH. I still agree with your point, tho.

>>41869757
Can't remember specifically. Might've been in a facebook post. I remember it was said that the model is still quite accurate despite its age.
>>41869784
What I'm getting out of your post is that you're disagreeing because CGBP is not the variation that would benefit -you- the most in terms of emphasized muscles. Would you agree if the exercise in question was cambered bar bench?

I've lost some strength on my squat while cutting, but my deadlift is doing ok.
Can I get my squat numbers quickly up again once I start bulking? The bar just feels so much heavier on my back now, I'm hoping it's a temporary loss instead of a permanent one.

>>41869418
Yeah I know you should do that. but I'm not the smartest man and also impatient so I somehow made it without any deloads.

>>41869914
For me personally, it would most likely help a lot more, although I've never done it. However, I still wouldn't spam reply everyone to do it because "it's the only way you should be training bench," because that ignores what people enjoy and that others would probably respond to in a different way than I would because everyone isn't built the same. But like I said, although it's a similar movement, it's not quite the same stimulus as comp bench due to the increased ROM, as well as other factors that I may be ignorant of due to having never used it, so I would still suggest putting the largest emphasis on comp bench, and then using a variant that helps you the most for accessory work.

>>41869969

How weird

>>41870177
No you didnt, fag

>>41866901
cgbp is fantastic for triceps for me and i think it carries over a lot more to other presses than wider grip bench does

>>41869915
Don't worry about it, lad. Cutting didn't put a ceiling on your potential strength.
>>41870011
I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. I'm saying more ROM is proven to be beneficial in terms of size and strength for novices, and that no evidence has been found for trained individuals. It seems like you're arguing the anon through me, as you talk about individualized exercise selection and program design with reference to anon's post.

>>41869915
in my experience, squat is the most affected by cutting

losing stomach fat makes your leverages less favorable for squats, you haven't actually lost any strength so much as you have become less mechanically efficient

ime it does not come back on a bulk immediately, it's an actual permanent loss until you get strong enough to do that weight again even with your now inferior levers

>>41870268
i don't think he's asking if it put a ceiling on his potential strength, he just wants to know if that strength will immediately come back when he raises his calorie

>>41870268
>>41870291 <- Yes.

>>41870277
I mean I wasn't really huge before I started cutting either, I've gone from 76 to 66kg in about 5 months and I've lost more off my squat than other lifts. I used to stay around the 125kg area for reps pretty comfortably (hit 140kg for a single once), but in the last few weeks I've been struggling with 110-115 kg sets way more than I'd like and I feel dyel.

I know I'm gonna get shit for cutting when I'm this weak, but I really hated my body comp and needed to change it.

>>41870344
you're not gonna get shit from anyone who knows what they're talking about, there is no benefit to bulking yourself into obesity when you are already chubby

cutting to 10-12% and then bulking up to 15-18% and repeating this is the right approach and you are doing the right thing, just see the cut through and then you can get strong without feeling like a fat sack of shit and encountering all the negative feedback loops

I guess this is what I get for falling for the medicine meme and being a yuropoor, I guess this is also what I get for prioritizing the medical literature rather than the sociological stuff.

My assignment is to imagine myself as the primary care provider of a muslim woman who wears a headscarf and how I would conduct a pre-operative consultation, which of course requires the removal of said headscarf.

>>41870494
So let me just get get what you're saying.
a) More ROM = more size and strength for novices.
b) Somewhat lower specificity is beneficial for size for intermediates (at least).
c) In the long run, this (lower specificity) size advantage and strength gain gives less total strength gain than one would get from higher specificity.
Is that it?

I want attentions

Someone please justify the fact I don't do anything but bench anymore

Accounting, at least, really isn't math. 99% of the math involved is some high school level algebra shit, or even simpler. Accounting is much more categorizing and recording stuff, simple math is part of that process.

No accounting class, ever, is "this is how we do the math." It's all "this is how we categorize this cash flow" or "this is how we record this transaction" or "holy shit fuck the United States' tax code" or the like.

>>41872340

A BestBelt 3 inch or Athlete (4 inch) belt are perfectly adequate, $110, and IPF approved.

If you don't give a shit about the IPF's unrestrained faggotry, a Rogue Echo belt is, like, $50, 4 inches "tall," 10 mm thick (just like the Athlete belt), and not IPF approved. Also, for whatever reason, it's stiff as shit at first, to the point it's difficult to get off until it's broken in some, while the BestBelts are a lot more flexible straight out of the box. But the Echo belt is the cheapest acceptable belt you'll find.

Don't know about tripfag, but I am a CPA.

I started as an engineering major, but took an accounting class and thought "people get paid for this", so I stayed with it.

Now, I bet I have more money than all the posters in this thread combined.

>>41872524
So you started as an engineering major and then you quit? Sounds like you wouldn't handle STEM graduate level coursework

>>41872638
didn't quit. Kept taking math for electives. Was going to dual accounting and actuary, but that became unnecessary.

Holy fuck lads absolutely shit squat session today. Not a single good rep after warmup sets. Every rep I was either tipping forward or tipping backwards and it felt like I was deadlifting the weight up instead of squatting it. My body just went full retard.

>>41872638

Sounds like he was smarter than to work harder for less money, scrub.

CPA isn't terribly EASY to get, but you pretty much print money with it, AND you don't have to deal with the unrelenting autists you find in engineering.

>>41872944
No one said go into engineering, just that you wouldn't be able to handle graduate STEM coursework

So I ran into "The Powerlifting Couple" at my gym today
>Each take a rack to themselves
>Gym has 4 power racks total
>Each have a gear bag with all the possible gear - squat shoes, deadlift shoes, deadlift socks, wrist wraps, straps, knee sleeves, belt, chalk
>She does shitty squats where she uses the lowest rack possible, doesn't hit depth, spends the second half of her squat pancaking her torso while her hips stay above parallel at lmao 145 lb
>He does rack pulls with lmao 3pl8 and makes a big deal of slamming the weight down
>Their programs appear to be the same - squat, rack pull, overhead press, but they do their lifts in difference sequences - more to the point they could totally be sharing one rack but choose not to
>They get into arguments about really trivial things, relationship clearly on the rocks
>He will spend 15-20 minutes explaining a lift to her while his own rack goes unused, but won't let people work in
>Their workout lasts at least two hours, without letting anyone work in on the racks
>They were there when I came into the gym, I did my full workout, hit the sauna, showered, and they were still there when I left

This """hobby""" really attracts the worst people

Going for the good ole 340kg deadlift today lads

What should I do as my last warmup before 340 if i want to go only for 340 or nothing

I can't pick between 300 or 310 tbqh

>>41864552
>>41864558
Really depends. Does the outside of the knee actually feels painful during the heavy squat or after the heavy squat. Do you feel any kind of instability in your left knee during the squat or the deadlift?

>>41873076
>This """hobby""" really attracts the worst people

That would be wherever liberal trendies would be.

>>41873076

>She does shitty squats where she uses the lowest rack possible, doesn't hit depth, spends the second half of her squat pancaking her torso while her hips stay above parallel at lmao 145 lb

There's one of these in my gym too. She's got 155 lbs so low on her back the bar is actually resting on her triceps, and she never, and I mean NEVER, hits depth.

At least her and her boyfriend use the same rack. I have a potentially autistic suspicion they'd rather be using the rack I'm always using, but they might just be looking in shock at someone who squats more than LMAO3PLAET

All I can suggest is just try and have a brief conversation next time you're using equipment near each other to break the ice

>>41873296
After the heavier squat, but I notice that my left leg does more work while im squatting. If it was only squats id say its an form issue, but the hip is affecting me during other exercises aswell. I guess the hip is not in position which causes that other bodyparty arent in position too.

>>41864618
dont do cardio at the gym because it either wears me out or im too sore to, do football training 2 days a week and play a game on sunday though

Hey, I need a form check on this vid please:

https://youtu.be/DraC7pb05Xc?t=17

It's my last set so it shows a failed rep, I am stalling hard on squat, which sucks because it's my favorite exercise.
Things I can see in my opinion:
>back too vertical
>weak quads?

>>41875138
Your form is fine. You just gave up on that rep.

>>41875317

hes lowbaring with knees foward movement rather than knees out and sit down if he would use his butt he would finish that rep

>>41875325
I have tried many different leg positions and angles and this is the one that gives me the most stability and feels the most "natural"

Spreading my feet further and angling just gives me hip pain and buttwink, plus I have retard long legs.

Can I still make progress on bench (I'm mid-intermediate) by only doing it once a week? I wanna try weighted dips as my main assistance instead.
I'm just tired of benching and it just feels wrong recently, like my body doesn't want me to do it.

>>41875138
You need to brace better. Squeeze your glutes and stand up tall before you take your breath.

>>41875525

>Spreading my feet further and angling just gives me hip pain and buttwink, plus I have retard long legs.
you probally should turn your feet out slightly maybe 30 or 45 degrees and push the knees out while keeping evrything else the same

squatting with knees forward body vertical is actually a good way to get juicy quad development and not to do semi goodmornings

>>41875644
Nice try Raf, you are literally just rehashing your early trappy persona except you're not pretending to be a tranny this time.

I am SQUISHING little Norman khan fecal matters into the toilet right now

Smells like India, hm

thoughts on squatting your DLs (specifically sumo) I know its sub-optimal tech but its the only way I can deadlift without triggering a lower back injury. Im a squat dominant lifter anyway so I might even be able to lift more

>>41875960

>>41876203

It feels the same way when you fuck up and stretch / tear / strained a muscle. My hip is differently tight on each side so I lift a bit crooked someimes and then that happened once. It hasn't not impacted me anything. I do not believe it can be something serious.

>>41874507
Some kind of higher volume 5/3/1 variant would be productive and probably a little more fun

>>41876237
>unilateral back pain is almost always discogenic in nature

Okay well that's just not really true at all... maybe long term, lasting back pain, but a week or two of soreness?

Bronze medal in squat for women's 52kg just got it without a belt, sleeves or wrist wraps. Literally why? If you're at the top of competition, why intentionally handicap yourself?

It's less about the locking mechanism and more about the thickness and height of the leather. They help a lot for squat, it depends on how good you are at squatting beltless for how much (or little) they'll help.

precisely , dont get me even started that they fight to be treated 'equally' but then they demand their own double standards.

>>41876661
theres no double standard. they dont let anyone use non standard gear without contacting the ipf and getting it okayed. if you contacted them and ave them a non-retarded reason theyd let you do it too

can somebody explain to me why's sumo deadlifting allowed by IPF?

>>41876699
there is the way diversities want to be treated: they want their own set of favorable rules different from everybody's.

>>41876699
>a non-retarded reason
Why? Why should my reason make sense? Every competitor should have to abide by the same rules. If she can wear some clothing item, I should be able to do the same just because I want to.

Sorry if it's the wrong spot to ask, but I remember seeing a vid of a really fucking fat guy bench pressing in a powerlifting setting, and he would like barely move the bar half an inch and it was already on his mantits, then back up.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I need to find it again for comedic purposes.

Can I do oly lifts without bumper plates, but with rubbered ones and on a regular deadlifting platform? Power clean seams to work, but bailing form snatch seems rather dangerous for equipment.

>>41877547

>>41877564

>>41877555
I really wouldn't. You're just gonna destroy everything.

>>41877564
kek, did you even watch the deadlifts?

>>41877555
snatch weights are even lower than clean ones. why couldn't you just set the down the same way you would for the clean!!?

>>41877632
I can lower the bar gently If i performed the lift the right way, but since I am learning I expect to fuck up things and thus bail from the lift which might be dangerous if the barbell falling from squating position.

Yes. Still missing sets left and right during the high rep weeks. I do not like that.

>>41878558
drinking tons of distilled water so you piss and get dehydrated for weigh-ins

>>41878558
You spend a few days overhydrating. Your body adjusts to this by increasing the rate of excretion of fluids. Then you start underhydrating. Your body will eventually compensate for this, but there's a period where your body is underhydrated and still flushing as if it was overhydrated. You time this with your meet so you get maximum fluid flush from your body before weighing in.
