Nothing is enjoyable anymore. I dunno what to do. I have no friends and I have BPD. I don't even have motivation to do the only two things that made me happy, lifting and hiking. Maybe I should just kill myself. Bench and deadlifts today were actually alright but it's still all pointless. Why am I even living this boring life anymore? What am I supposed to do? Everything sucks and I am always lonely

>>42084916
There is no up. Just emptiness when I have no friends or craziness when I do

And right now all I am is empty. Sometimes I try to delude myself into happiness but it just fades away. I don't really enjoy anything. I kind of just want to die

Stay safe friend

am I being retarded or does 3x int high not actually have any progression??

your max doesnt go up each week like the medium volume, and the week 4 amrap puts your e1RM at the same weight as the max your initial max???????

>>42085019
What do you suggest I do in the meantime then? I used to pore myself

You don't know shit. Quit blaming everyone. Get a job and support yourself. Quit wasting your time and get productive. Find a girl to fuck or something. Join a church. Whiny faggot.

>>42085138
can a non-retard answer my question pls

>>42085162
>>42085162
Not Sean. I'm not blaming anyone but myself. I do know my dad is an asshole for a fact. I understand why he does what he does but it doesn't excuse it.

You're right though, I do need to find something to do but I dunno what. None of the things you listed seem possible. I've been trying to get a job but no one's hired me despite applying to shitty minimum wage jobs. And even then I'll still feel unfulfilled and empty

>>42085122
>am I being retarded
Sounds like it, yes.
>AMAP - if you get 5-6, bump your max up 5 pounds. If you get 7+, bump your max up 10 pounds

>>42085357
so its just supposed to be one increase of 5-10 at the end of a 4 week cycle? 3x int med is 5-10 lb /week. why are they both called 3x int if theyre so different? I would have thought high would just be med with extra volume

>>42084908
Go see a psychiatrist and get med prescribed.

>>42085357
>>42085406
also, the amrap is 85% which you do 4x3 of on w3d1, which is harder than 1x5 imo

Have you considered nootropics?

A good stack for moderate depression and anxiety is theanine, 5htp, and tyrosine, which will help your GABA, serotonin and dopamine receptors, respectively.

Pregnenolone, a precursor neurohormone, is also useful periodically, though I wouldn't recommend using it long-term, maybe once or twice a week if you're expecting a long day of activity, cognitive or physical.

It could also help to talk to someone, look into local counseling services.

If you drink heavily, try to cut back as alcohol abuse is directly correlated to depression.

You may also want to take a B vitamin complex, as b vitamins are necessary for proper neurotransmitter synthesis.

If you're having trouble sleeping, I recommend melatonin and 3-4 grams of Glycine. This is a new combo I'm trying and it has helped me feel much more rested in the mornings.

Don't lose hope, anon. We're all gonna make it.

>>42085527
Add ten pounds.

>>42085516
I have Psychotic Maniac Depression and I didn't have any problems with the meds.
My psychiatrist said that only used to happen with very antiquate meds.
And you can always stop taking a med if you don't like it.

Going to the doctor was best thing I did in the last few years.

Don't let people on the internet scare you, they are all stupid. See: >>42085501

>so its just supposed to be one increase of 5-10 at the end of a 4 week cycle?
Yes.
They're not that different tho, imho. I can't really speak for Greg about why they are the way they are, tho.
High is just Med with extra volume, which means you're less likely to recover each week, and thus it's a bad idea to increase the training max along with the weekly increases of both intensity and volume.
>>42085449
The point of the three first weeks is to get you stronger, the fourth is to get rid of some fatigue and test whether you're stronger.

good to know everyone here is a schizo mentally insane crazy freak LOL really explains a lot to be honest

>>42085574
I've read lots of reports of people losing all emotion, feeling like zombies, etc due to meds. But I guess more research is warranted. Thank you for the support anon

>>42085622
I'm normal ...

>>42085527
Do the fourth week anyway, but be a bit conservative with the AMRAP. The fourth week, practically a deload week, will do you good and not dedract from your long-term progress in any way.

>>42085630
Okay Dino

>>42085624
Bodrerline? What does BPD mean then? borderline Psychotic Depression?

With new meds it happens some times but usually only lasts while you are getting used to it.
Also most people only take it for some months, so even if you have no feelings while the treatment lasts, after it you will have your life back.

I started Seroquel(anti psychotic) this year, during the first month I indeed didn't have much emotions and was super focused. After that I got back to normal.

There are many possible med combinations and everyone is different. If you can't deal with the collaterals ask you doctor to change it or prescribe some humor stabilizer.

The worst thing that could happen is you stopping the treatment and going back to how your life is now.

it isn't even fair how quickly my body starts to look like shit after I jump off RP. Took a full week off for my birthday and for a vacation to the lake and this is what happens. Yeah, there's a lighting difference but the change is DEFINITELY more than just the change in lighting. Obviously it'll bounce right back after I get started again but still, fuck me that's obnoxious.

Reeeeeeeeeeee

Does a max effort approach work well for accessories, chinups, rows, other isolations etc?

So I set a target of like 50 reps and just do as many sets as it takes until 50 reps with 1RIR each set and up the weight when I manage to get 50 over 4 or 5 sets or something?

A shit routine because you have a shit coach

Need some advice with an injury, or just any ideas of what to do. I have been to multiple physiotherapists, chiropractors, what not, and none have been able to help me long term. I live in Canada and while our health care is glorified for being free, it's essentially completely fucking useless in this scenario. Anyways, onto the injury.

I hurt my SI joint about a year ago now. Spent the last 6 months rehabbing it, doing all the right things, guided by a physio-therapist. Corrected multiple mobility shortcomings. Have spent months working on uni-lateral stability, glute strength, core strength. Stretching every possible muscle connected to my hip you could imagine. I took 6 months off of back squats and deadlifts. Completely. Under advice of my therapist I tried to deadlift again, felt a little bit of irritation so I stopped. Fast forward to now, have been able to front squat with zero pain for three weeks. Slowly building back up. Tonight I was in the gym doing front squats, everything was normal, then my third set in with like 65% of my max my back just randomly gives out. Keep in mind the weight I was doing is a joke, could have done it for a set of 15, but for whatever reason as soon as I hit depth my back just said fuck you, sudden pain in my SI joint again, and now I have rewinded 6 fucking months of aggressive rehabilitation. I'm at a loss right now, what is wrong with my body? I went from back squatting 405 at 17 years old and 165lbs to being 20 years old now and snapping my shit on front squats that look completely normal and move ridiculously easy.

Any ideas? I have tried everything under the sun. Seen every video, been to therapy, worked on every imbalance day in day out. I'm at a loss, on the verge of giving up lifting a weight ever again

>>42087132
it's time to become an upper body bro and just do some cardio to keep your legs """"toned"""

a pain free life is more important than your squat and deadlift numbers

should i deload for week 6 or just start the next cycle (c6w)?

>>42087194
You are probably right, although I am losing the best years of my life to back pain. I come from an athletic back ground and was able to lift pain/injury free for close to 2 years before this episode. I've taken things as slow as possible while working hard to correct all imbalances and my body still gives out, meanwhile there's a tons of young yolos who don't do mobility at all and never seem to get injured. Just frustrated.

THEY SAID YOU WERE DONE
THEY SAID YOU HAD NO CHANCE
SACRIFICE TO WIN

Have a friend that i think has borderline personality disorder. He gets psychotic episodes every now and then. Usually in combination with drugs, but it have also happened without. He used to get serious fucking fits of anger when he was drunk. He'd go nuts on someone and start swinging for no fucking reason or an imagined reason.

Over time he wore me out psychologically, he used to subtly refer to my weaknesses and insecurities in offhanded ways and seemed to enjoy when i felt anxiety or shame or felt bad about my self. Like he enjoyed it, and over time he did it more and more until i had no self confidence left. I used to ignore it and pretend like it didn't happen or even deny that it did. That didnt do anything good for me.

He also needed constant attention and validation and if i didnt give it to him he used to punish me in indirect ways or just do something to annoy me. Like he would put on music and shit that could be related to someones insecurities or hang ups and use that as ways of sending messages or whatever while pretending not to. So one sit there and wonder "is this for real? Is this dude really consciously putting this song on to express something indirectly?" So it messes with ones head.

I had to cut him off and it took a really fucking long time for me to rebuild my self and i thought it was me that something was seriously wrong with for a long time.

Can anyone relate? Does this sound like borderline type of behavior? I can't believe i let this shit happened or even pretended that it didn't. I guess a lot of the behavior was so strange that i didn't think people could actually do that crazy shit and i was just imagining it.

Its off topic but since you guys talked about borderline why not.

Also, power cleans are awesome.

>>42087776

>>42087796
>Powerlifting just has a high likelihood of being injurious.
No, I just have no respect for powerlifting. It's a joke. I don't care how many times you come back to your shit hobby. Maybe he should use the injuries as a FUCKING CLUE THAT WHAT HE IS DOING IS FUCKING IDIOTIC.

Thanks. Yeah! The thing that happened was that i became paranoid as fuck about my insecurities because I started believing that everyone could pick up on them and then use it against me so i started avoiding all people. It was fucking nuts. Luckily not everyone is as perceptive as borderlines but after that whole thing one realizing that there are people out there that are spookingly good at reading people. Total eye opener. I have a lot to work on.

My dude, i dated a woman who displayed all the behaviors you have described.

Do NOT feel bad. You weren't imagining, you did the right thing. That stuff is soul-destroying.

>>42089208
yes. if you're sick and on antibiotics your body is still fighting off the infection so you're not going to be 100%. Also some antibiotics have side effects that may also contribute to you feeling like trash.

Suggestion to you is to drink lots of water & a little bit of gatorade, don't lift, and just rest for a few days. Ease yourself back into lifting once you're feeling better by doing a deload week

>>42089642
I think I'm mostly over the infection the problem is I have 2.5 weeks of pills left so no way do I want to rest that long. It's a long course to tey and finally kill a reoccurring sinus infection I just can't get rid of for good.

int high is completely different from int med. in fact its almost identical to 3x adv. are you sure its not a mistake?

>>42089576
I'm not competitive even on the local scene so I just set a goal S/B/D/total weight and try to hit that
1st is something I'm never going to miss unless I snap something mid lift
2nd is somewhere midway between 1st attempt and my goal weight, if 1st felt good I increase the weight a little bit more
3rd is based on how the second felt, usually I just put in my goal weight but if 2nd felt really hard or really easy I might go lower/higher

It's not a massive Norman khan but needs to go back to India regardless

>>42090420
Int High is a middle ground between Med and Adv, but yes, it's closer to Adv than Med. How do you consider them completely different?

>>42089860
It's only a disadvantage initially but long term you can support moving more weight, given a larger frame

>>42090699
all 3 programs follow a similar structure, so I guess its not completely different. but surely int high would be for people coming off int med. they want the same rate of progression and need a little more volume (this is what I was looking for). if they wanted monthly progression why wouldnt they just do adv?

so I thought maybe it was a mistake and greg accidentally just copied and pasted adv where int high should be

antibiotics debilitate your body. it's normal.

some of them may even allow you to damage your tendons more easily, if you lift heavy weights while your on said antibiotics.

anyway, when you're that sick, take a rest until you're fully recovered. the more you fight the sickness by pushing your body (that will perform lousily anyway), the more it will fight you back and it will make you feel weak longer. just take that as a chance to rest completely!

>>42091128
To add to it: physical exertion during an infect causes a reasonable chance of such infect to locate towards your heart muscle.
Which can kill you. Which has happened to many athletes already.

Rest and don't exercise.

>>42090838
>but surely int high would be for people coming off int med.
Yes, and they should do High before Adv because of the level of conditioning required for Adv compared to High. High also leaves more room for accessories, which isn't really a negative thing at this stage.
>they want the same rate of progression and need a little more volume (this is what I was looking for).
The programs aren't really designed for having the same rate of progression tho? Still, you might well end up progressing just as much on either by the time Med is too low in volume to work.
>if they wanted monthly progression why wouldnt they just do adv?
Benching too much can be boring I guess.

I don't think it's a mistake, it would've been caught by him. The package you downloaded isn't the first edition of the programs.

Johan?

>>42092097
Oh good I'm glad you're back. Post your push press or your best jerk

could you act a little bit less like Sean light please

Can I still get strong and big lifting 3x a week? Is the difference really that much compared to 6x?

I'm approaching intermediate and not sure what I should do thats fun and allows for plenty of back accessories.

>>42092596
Yes. 6x allows for higher lift frequency, but you'd probably be doing less each day compared to what you'd be doing on each specific day with 3x frequency.

>Fun
28 free bench programs are great, as is c6w (the lower portion anyway, never did the upper portion)

what did he mean by this

Anyone with anterior pelvic tilt that can share his experience lifting with it ? My lowerback is so tight all the time and I think it hinders my progression on deadlifting and squating. When I'm done with my sets I'm so sore in the lower back(not pain) that I really need to sit for a good 5 minute to return to normal and even then the whole day sucks. The bad thing is that I feel my lower back tight even on daily life things. So far I'm thinking to drop deadlifting for a while(at least heavy) and switch to front squats and focus on glut bridges,hamstring curls and planks. Any suggestions,experiences ?

its interesting when I come out of the front squat into the hand readjustment it basically gets thrustered higher than when I do my actual jerks like it unironically comes up over my eyes when Im only coming out of the front squat let alone

we think its a muscular endurance thing cause I always feel I have no energy left when it comes time to jerk

>>42092632
Are there any fun methods for squatting or effective at least? Texas?

>>42094004
TM didn't work too well for me, but that's probably because my squat form was garbage at the time. General consensus is that it works well for squat. C6W also works well for squat, and I enjoyed it a lot more.

Just missed reps on nuckols 3x bench. How fucked am I? What should I do?

My bench randomly shot up 5 kilo during my cut
I started bulking a bit cause I wanted to Milk those gains

Now my bench has gone down 2.5kg and I've plateaud??????????????

well if you really want to boost your strength above all else, do LSUS

I now squat 185kg for a triple when 10 weeks ago I squatted it for a 1RM

plus there isn't too much classical lifts in the program so it can ease you into getting comfortable for them

but if you want to focus more on technique before strength then that program wont be for you cause my technique has stalled if not slightly regressed on this program

but I'm getting strong so I guess its ok

finally if you want to get serious about WL get a coach, you may not think you need one but you really do

very nice, very VERY nice

>>42094248
the program is literally 4 weeks of 10RM on pushing movements once a week and pulling movements once a week with percentage work for both of them later in the week then saturday you do heavyish classical lifts

this pattern continues with 5RMs and 3RMs then you get 2 weeks of peaking where its 2/1RMs on basically everything you trained

ideally after that you take a slight deload period then test lifts

just so you'd know what you are getting into it is absolute hell, especially the 10's if you are like me and hate volume

I dunno. An 800-ish total, as your absolute best when you've reached your natural limit in both muscle mass and strength in the -105 class, seems reasonable.

My wrists look average, ankles too really. I don't think it scales that much, your limbs will be shorter than mine, but the thickness of the wrist I don't think will look any diferent because of that. I think palm size is more important for that, you compare the wrist to the fist, not the length of the forearm when looking at someone.

>>42085887
IMO Mike T is a strange case.

He started off doing westside training and became insanely strong right off the bat at a young age. He then puts up incredible gym PRs that he never manages to touch again despite like 6-10 years of meticulous RTS training. The man has even benched 525 lbs in the gym many years ago, yet consistently struggles to even get 450-ish at meets.

I'd never accuse him of being a roider based on this alone, but I wouldn't be too shocked if he actually did use gear early in his lifting days.

>>42096065

>>42096068
I think limb length has more to do with wrist and ankle circumference

for example at 175cm which is 5'9 I have a 6'2 wingspan which is basicly chimp tier so my arms are really long. My dad is 5'7 with about 5'7 wingspan and he has thick wrists. I dont know maybe its coincedence

>>42096109
Intredasting, that could very well be. My wingspan is 180cm at 183cm height so mine are fairly short. Longer limbs could be skewed towards being bigger, I mean, it would make sense, longer would need to be bigger.

No my gf is like this and sex after gym is the best when you can be rough as you want with her, choke her, slap her, spit on her. Feels amazing using all that test boost you got to cum deep inside her.

>tfw have no idea how to respond to half of this

>>42096942
yeah I was confused at first too, but you get used to it and then start really liking being rough with all that choking, bonus if she's pretty small like ~40kgs

>>42096735
how?

I can bench just and progress from 2 days a week, VD and ID instead of all of those nuckols percentage based 3 day ones?

Why do women have to turn powerlifting into an opportunity to be a vain whore?

They put on the tightest outfits they can and spend half their time taking pictures of their asses.

It's absolutely disgusting. Men and women should have entirely separate gyms, women have proven that they are not mature enough to handle integrated ones.

She's 5ft2 and lean. Here's hoping man.

I wish you best, go for it mang

Hey all I did c6w for about a year when I started PL training. I saw some serious progress in that time (pretty much a 20% increase in 1rm's after 3 years of lifting prior). As of now I haven't been on any PL routine for almost a year and have just been doing lighter workouts because of reasons and dropped all my maxes by about 10%. I want to start to get back to some more serious training, should I go back to c6w for a while to knock the dust off or move onto something more intermediate? Any suggestions?

I would do an LP, by which I mean SS, until you stall. Should only take a month or two, but it will rebuild your neural recruitment faster than anything, and should get you pretty close to old maxes.

Start at 70% of your current 1RMs for the sets of 5 in SS, and just go up as normal. 5 lbs every time you do something, except for deadlifts, which go up 10 lbs. If you don't know what a power clean max is, starting at 60% of the weight your deadlifting for the set of five, for the 5x3 power cleans, is probably a good starting point.

Once the LP stalls, you can move onto whichever meme intermediate program you want.

Tell her that you know 1001 choke holds, then write a list of them where half of them are ARM BAR

If she doesn't get the joke, dump her ass.
