What the FUCK is going on lads
Out of all programs TM is the one where my squats get detrained. What do I do?

>>42503289
how hard is your volume day and at what weight

>>42503299
I do the usual 90%5rm 5x5 and sometimes I do 10x3 at 85% 1rm

>>42503289
you've discovered that TM is garbage, time to move to a real program that isn't making you peak on a weekly basis

>>42503248
You sound like a huge faggot.

>>42503248
He looks even more retarded than usual these days, wow
>>42503277
Also gaining more than 10kg in the process lmao

>>42503328
he should just start taking drugs and pull 800 lbs

>>42503308
Forgot to add, they're pretty hard but manageable

Which lift PR is the most likely to make a delicious trap fall for me?

>>42503347
>>42503308
time to cut volume down on volume day

drop down to 3x5

>>42503289
did you fall for the raffy memes?

>>42503353
strict curl with ez curl bar and back against the wall

>>42503362
well seeing as he did 2x3, 3x2 lmao yes he did

>>42503359
going from 9 working sets a week on SS to 4 working sets (3x5 on vd, 1x5 on id, rd doesn't count) on TM

something tells me this will not lead to any progress

>>42503371
do you live under a rock theres a whole book about cutting down volume google 'justin lascek texas method'

>>42503248
We don't take kindly to niggers in these parts mate.

>>42503374
and you think doing less work as an intermediate than you did as a rank novice will lead to progression?

>>42503396
>what is fatigue
oh yeah bro all the 800+ squatters I know do 20 sets of 5 becuzzzz the're elite not novice

>>42503396
I think everyone who does tm is retarded

>>42503362
>>42503369
W-what was I supposed to do?

>>42503415
Next time never listen to trappy/raffy/figjam or whatever other name he uses.

>>42503411
what else you suggest for squats then

>>42503422
B-but it was in the book too

>>42503423
11 sets with 60seconds rest at ~80%

I want to fap but I gotta go lift in an hour.

>>42503436
did you just make this up lol

>>42503402
not 20 sets, but they probably needed to do quite a bit more to get their squat from 400->500 than they did to get it from 200->300

Lascek's advice is completely nonsensical on this front, and he also has some really questionable advice on other stuff (off the top of my head: not working out for more than an hour because muh cortisol)

>>42503479
if your trainingsession takes longer than an hour then youre a restbabby plain and simple

>>42503459
Just try harder

>>42503486
t. skips all accessory work, looks like he's made out of pipecleaners

I wish retards who don't know anything about stimulus, recovery and adaptation, practical prioritization based on level of experience, bodyweight and the difference between relative intensity and absolute intensity and why heavier lifters need different programming than lighter lifters would leave this fucking board ASAP.

I love this inclusive sport! Isn't it great that transsexual men are among the top best, if not the top best, coaches?

Happy trappy day everyone!

Cowboy method AKA the big texas method by CWS. It's similar but it has more volume and actual periodization. Short test times as well to improve work capacity. All things gym has a spreadsheet

>>42503534
at the end of the day youre picking things up and putting them down over and over again and the various tweaks of the same basic programs that you spend hours agonizing over wont have more than a marginal effect on your lifts

>>42503590
i'm not advising a tweak, i'm advising that TM be flushed down the toilet

nice strawman lmao

i'm not advising complex programming, i'm advising something that has doesn't make you peak each week and therefore allows you to do more volume and train harder (because you can afford to be a little fatigued)

TM goes one of two ways, depending on where you are in your training and how you respond to training
A: you don't need that much stimulus to get an adaptation or you can recover very well, VD is enough to force an adaptation and you recover by ID, you do very well on the program (at least for squats)
B: you need more stimulus to get an adaptation than you can recover from by ID, you run into walls of fatigue repeatedly - you rotate ID rep schemes, you deload 10% and work back up, but you really just make little bursts of minor progress between banging your head against the wall

this isn't even getting into the shitty bench portion of the program and shitty deadlift portion of the program

i ran TM and have known many people who ran TM, it works very well for a few and poorly for most which is why Rippetoe does not recommend the program and most of the SS coaches on their forum don't either

>>42503402
fatigue is for pussies.

Your body will get used to high volume man. Just don't do it rpe10 every fucking set.

>>42503248
Hey guys I'm really thinking about competing but I don't really know where to start or even how to prepare for a meet.

Right now I'm 18 years old been training since I was 16.
Weight is 77 kg at 5'10.
Yesterday I pulled 4pl8's for 5 and I can squat a little bit over 3pl8's for 5. My bench is a little bit behind, I'm at 1.75pl8's for 5 right now.
Do you guys think that I could be good in powerlifting?

who /snatchpressbehindtheneck/ here?

absolutely destroys all heads of the delts and seems to be increasing very quickly and easily for me. recent best was 50kg for 7 reps. shooting for 60kg for 5 reps by the end of the year.

>>42504339
it destroys your cuffs aswell been there done that, you gotta think of your joint health long term wise

I switched to one armed db presses these are great aswell, obviously not as great but much much safer so its worth it

>>42504335
>tfw outlift you in all lifts outside deadlift
>tfw still barely 4pl8s for 1
Deadlift more like shitlift, at this pace I'm sure I'll squat 200kgs before I deadlift 200.

>>42504327
seriously?

>>42504393
Lol, leverages I guess

>>42504335
>>42504393
I could deadlift 230kg before I could squat 150kg or even bench 100kg

such is life being a manlet with chimp tier arms

>>42503719
>Mark "Oly lifters aren't strength training" Rippetoe doesn't recommend TM

wtf I love TM now

>>42503719
He doesn't recommend it because it's not a program for anyone that has a job essentially it's a program for wannabe athletes, freaks of nature or people doing joke degrees where they can focus on recovering.

TM is a good program took my squat from 115 to 185 kg, bench from 90 to 130 , ohp from 45 to 77 and dl from 120 to 190 in a period of 7-8 months at bw of 83 -84 kg.

>>42504461
Opposite of you I'm>>42504553
And honestly my 185 squat and 130 bench was so easy in comparison to my 190 deadlift where I almost what myself. Such is life of manlet with trex arms and barrel chest

>>42504363
i don't get the feeling that it's a dangerous exercise at all. there's definitely bad shit happening if you do it wrong, but it feels very natural and stress free, especially if you remove the eccentric part of the movement.

>>42504553
what? TM is not demanding time wise at all. its only 3 days a week, one of which is long.

>>42504619
It's the recovery from that one day that essentially needs you not to have a life especially if you are not a super heavyweight and want to hover around 3-4 kgs above your weight category.

>>42504642
that's simply not true. there is no need to batter yourself to oblivion such that you can't even study before friday. you can get away with significantly less than that and push friday up every week.

>>42504751
it's at 85 to 90 percent it's not the studying that will it's the gym e.g friend that is doing medicine essentially was in the library after uni studying till midnight and had shit sleep he had to switch to 5/3/1

I want to do 2*int for bench but still progress on OHP and get bigger shoulders because >asthetics. Is heavy OHP on two days too much? What would be my excercise for the 2nd day if I want to do 2*int for OHP as well, since CGBP is not it obviously. Would it be more reasonable to do 1*int for OHP and cut back on the accessories? I'd do seated DB press on mondays anyway and probably add a few sets of lat raises throughout the week.

Thanks!

If ignorance is bliss, this guy must be the happiest man alive.

I'm doing SS. Days where I squat and deadlift Fuck me up for the rest of the week now. Haven't really been able to progress much the last month. What do I do now. I don't want to eat more. I'll never compete so I don't care about min-maxing this shit. You guys are just the only ones that answer my questions.

>>42506238

The Press: 45-115lbsx5

I know my bench is shit

>>42506238
Did you switch to making day 2 a light day (squat at 80% of day 1s weights iirc)? If that's the case, or you just don't want to deal with grinding through SS anymore because you're probably close to the end of the program anyway, you might want to just switch to intermediate programming like c6w, TM, Madcow 5x5, 28 free, CLutz intermediate, etc.

So you can't progress because you won't eat enough to do it and you don't want it enough to do it.

Dude. Sounds like you just don't want to be in the gym. Maybe it isn't for you. Try joining an adult soccer league or something.

>>42506279
Did start adding light days pretty much because I had to. Didn't help that much. It's been like 7 months of SS. Should I just go with TM then?
>>42506283
>>42506286
I do enjoy this shit. I do it for fun. What I've been doing seems to not be working anymore so now I'm just trying to figure out what would be the best thing to switch to. No need to be salty because I don't share the same goals as you.

>>42506332
Well, you stated the exact reasons why you can't progress in your own post. Then you asked us how to make you progress.

I mean, come on now.

>>42506332
Whichever program I listed that you think you'll enjoy the most. If you do run TM you might want to dump ohp, or only do it on RD, because alternating bench and ohp makes gains slow and a lot harder.

>>42506345
I just want a new program man. I know why I'm not progressing on SS anymore

>>42506355

Program jumping won't fix your dead-endedness or shitty attitude. If you want to progress, regardless of the program you need to eat more and try harder.

>>42506268
Cut 20 lbs and try to maintain your lifts

>>42506353
Or he can do a 4 day TM and advance both upper bench OHP and lower body lifts.

>>42506353
Alright thanks for the help. I'll probably go with TM or madcow.
>>42506407
I might do that eventually. I'm probably just going to try and slow bulk on one of these things until I run into the same problem that I'm having now and then lose some weight.

That's the plan my man. I'm going to switch to an intermediate program and try so slowly gain another 15lbs or so. Hopefully I won't be super fat by the end. I'll probably cut a bit either way. We'll see how I'm looking.

Guys how much do i lower the intensity when i deload

>>42506704
70-75%

you should deload more volume wise

>>42506726
How much do i deload for volume?

>>42506765
depends on how much volume you did before

general rule is cut it into half

>>42506779
>>42506726

Ok so ive been doing c6w and he said in the excel sheet to use week 1 for deload, do i keep the same rep scheme or no?

>>42506704

>>42507070
Try to drag him to the gym. I've managed to get mine to join at least once a week, which has helped sufficiently on his health and posture even if he'll never get strong this way. It only took me a year of persistently trying when I saw an opportunity. Just avoid asking too frequently (will make him defensive) and take a no for a no without arguments.

It even rubbed off on my parents and made them go once a week too with almost no direct action required by me.

Is it better to deadlift with hips too high and make them shoot up (not like I could avoid it) or deadlift with hips close to a stiff leg?

>>42506704

The other responses are valid. Honestly though, I've had better success with deloading by just doing different exercises.

Maxing out on rack pulls, good mornings, and log press in my deload week did more for me than doing half the total reps on the same lifts with the same weight.

I tolerate intensity WAY better than volume, though, so that might be part of it.

>>42507070

>>42507163
Then you'll simply have to have contact with him frequently enough that you get to talk a bit about your own positive experiences sometimes and suggest things for him at other times. Not every time though. The trick is to expose people to the idea enough to make them think it themselves too without badgering them into a defensive position. If I was you I'd try to subtly make him want to until Christmas and then lift yourself and ask him to join when he has no excuse not to come. Then try to ensure he doesn't hate it and hope he recognizes the benefits. Eating healthier should come as a natural consequence of lifting.

Got some ideas for how to keep in touch? I'm not great about calling and I'm not sure he'd like just speaking to me on the phone.

We watch a lot of movies together when I'm home and I do know he plays vidya, would that be an idea? He just seems really depressed and I kind of feel bad about leaving him alone.

>>42507322
Playing vidya together seems the most likely solution, though I have no personal experience seeing as I live close to my family myself. And of course this whole thing depends on your social skills for subtly convincing people as well as his receptiveness. Some people will never be convinced.

>>42507357
How to subtly influence positive change? He's NEET now too and doesn't really have many friends either, it almost seems like he's given up.

>>42507428
Fuck if I know. I just say and do what I think will work, and sometimes it works, the likelihood is obviously higher on people I know well. There's probably guides on this from people that are better at it than me. All I know is to probe matters gently first and adjust your strategy according to the response, as well as having patience.

>>42507149
>>42507277
You want your hips to be in the position that they will be in for the bar to leave the floor immediately.

>>42507496
Alright, guess I'll just be patient.

It's hard though, he's been like this for so long and every year he stays like this the further damage it causes, that will make it harder and harder to fix.

>>42507070
Hang out with him. Get him to loosen up a bit and be a force of positivity that he can rely on after months. I'm currently trying to help out my whole depressed family and it can be hard, but providing a force of positivity to a household can honestly be the difference between a family collapsing and a family becoming repaired. I can loosen them up and make them happy every now and then and I know it helps them, even if it seems like it doesn't.

It's difficult but you have to do it. Stay strong and be a bedrock. It's now, man, and if you get him through it he will be grateful for the rest of his life.

>>42507411
I do. I just want a big squat and bench

>>42507322
The vidya idea is good. Mine is depressed too (I'm the guy above this post) and I got mine from being awkward and closed to laughing himself almost to the point of pissing just by playing vidya, shooting the shit and making up stupid scenarios about people. Love him and he loves that.

>>42507551
>>42507581
What do you think about making him come see me? Take him to a show or something.

>>42507599
Sounds like a good idea but maybe a show is too much for someone who's depressed. Warm him up first perhaps then drop the idea you have 2 tickets and say why not. Might work but it's your call.

>>42507645
Well I mean he loves music and hasn't really done much of that in his life, pretty sure he's never even been to a bar.

>>42507656
Your mind's in the right place. I'm sure you'll make the right decision but ultimately he probably would appreciate the company regardless.

>>42507670
I'm definitely gonna get him to come visit me.

I really feel guilty about not intervening sooner, helping him become a man.

What's your guys approach to the week of a meet? Mine is a Saturday and I was thinking hit my openers on Monday then a couple of 70% triples on Thursday. My openers are pretty conservative

>Rippetoe does not recommend the program and most of the SS coaches on their forum don't either

Yeah, he doesn't recommend Texas Method, that's why he dedicated about a third of a book to explaining different ways to do it.

The problem with people on /fit/ running TM is that people on /fit/ are fucking morons getting their advice from other morons on /fit/ or shitty online articles from T Nation or the like. So they end up with a hideous misunderstanding of what they're supposed to be doing.

First, start your VD sets at 75% of your 1RM, not any particular percentage of what you do on ID. If you're going to do the 5RM on ID, start at 85% of your max. If you're going to do 5 single (more handy for powerlifting I feel), start them at 90%.

Second, ADD USEFUL ACCESSORIES AS NEEDED. And it probably will be needed for bench press in short order. Dips, close grip bench press, LTEs to a lesser extent, and even curls are good options to add in. If your squat is stuck at an embarrassingly low weight, add back off sets or some front squats to VD.

Third, if you aren't wearing proper footwear (Converse shoes and barefoot don't count), a decent belt, squatting low bar, and eating and sleeping enough, the problem isn't TM, it's you. The problem is you and your many, many failings.

My life leading up to now has felt meaningless and empty and I'm about to delve into a deeper pool of uncertainty and isolation as I move away from my home town, that I've spent my entire life in, leaving everyone I've ever known behind to never be seen again.

>>42503289
I nearly failed on my 130kg 1x5 on week 3, the last 2 reps took a solid 30 seconds to finish. The whole set was probably 45 seconds long. I just upped my 5x5 weight by 5lbs (since I just barely hit it) and tried going for it again and breezed through it the next week. Just keep with it and repeat the process until you get it, sometimes you just move to quickly.
Although I ditched the upper body portion of TM for BBB after the 4th week lol

>>42506430
5th week into TM, squat/diddle has gone up at least 50lbs (to be fair I didn't train deadlift until now) and bench/OHP went up at least 15lbs. It's good if you can recover from maxing each week, but find something else to use for upper body lifts. Also, add a lot of accessories for TM, just not anything that compromises leg or lower back recovery. I've had good success/recovery adding in 6+ accessories and I'm sure I'm not an outlier

>>42507149
They're both just as bad desu, although you might be pull more weight with your hips starting lower. I've had the same problem before, the issue is that you're not driving through your feet at the start and you're not engaging the glutes once you get past the knee.
Try out pause deadlifts (pause at the knee) to help

???????

>>42509391
I did this years ago, but valgus never truly went away.

The only true way to get rid of valgus is to never go above 90%

>>42509401
Before valgus would even appear during warm ups. I'm also taking a really narrow stance so that also might have something to do with it.

>>42509406
That's weird. Squat less often.

>>42509433
Why would I need to do that? I'm already only at 2x frequency.

>>42509455
My squat rate has been once a year and I can't say I have had any valgus

>>42509469

Have you had any injuries since you stopped squatting? I swear I haven't had ONE injury in about a year now since I stopped. Before I had a new injury every month.

My guess was that squats fatigued my posterior chain and joints heavily, and made me more injury prone.

As good a thread as any for a humble brag. I haven't deadlifted since senior year of hs 11 years ago. Got an old Oly weight set in basement, have the urge to DL, throw some 45s on there and lift 1pl8 no problem. Throw on some 35s for a total of 205 and get it up pretty easy. I feel good about myself and motivated....

>>42509812
I recommend doing more warmup sets

>>42509756
no, no injuries since, although I only sustained one real injury (tailbone tendon thing) while squatting (and slightly tweaked my knees more times than I can count)

Hola compadres

I'm having issues with the bottom position of my squat. Going deep I've had issues straining the right upper part of my calf (guessing pic related - peroneus longus).

Have any of you encountered this before and do you know a better way to mobilize the area? I can avoid the issue by reducing my depth a bit but my squat is much stronger from a deeper position.

>>42510098
take a lacrosse ball

put it in the crook of your knee and squeeze the ball

not too hard obviously, if you start to feel tingly like you are fucking up your nerves stop

feel the muscle on both of your legs up to see if there is a difference in the two in terms of tissue density(or just go to a PT and pay only lik 14 bucks a session with insurance to have them look at it)

>>42510127
thought that would be more for the popliteus but that makes sense. gracias

>>42503309
this,

switch to bulgarian light where it have you max out every day

anyone have success with sheiko advanced

>>42510268
Plenty of people have had success with sheiko's programs, but you have to be more specific. Advanced just means it's 4 days a week and has nothing to do with the volume.

>>42510282
according to their chart it has me at medium load, im kind of an autist when it comes to committing to a program as i want to use the "best" one i can find

>>42510313
If you've never run sheiko and your bw is between 80 and 120 kg, I would highly suggest starting with medium load. The advanced programs have you benching 4x a week, and squatting and deadlifting 2x each, while the intermediate program has you benching 3x a week, squatting 2x a week, and deadlifting 1x a week. It might be better to start with the intermediate version first.

>>42510378
thanks m8!

>>42510098
Do you happen to have anterior pelvic tilt or anything like that? It could be tight hamstrings or hips, maybe stretching those a bit could help

>>42510684
Hips are definitely tight but I wouldn't expect hammies to be an issue in the hole. When I'm at a bottom position under load I can actually feel the strain on my right outside calf.

/plg/, what wrist wraps to get?
I've had issues with my wrists in the past. When I was using a brace for my problem wrist, squats and bench felt significantly better
so I've decided that, in this case, having some support would be nice.
Not sure at all what makes any brand different from one another. I understand that there is variation in stiffness in wraps, having more flexible ones is not a problem
also not sure how length factors in

any advice is appreciated thanks ilu guys

>>42511321
The stiffness really depends on the length. There's 12 inch. 24 inch and 36 inch. I think there are more but that's the main 3. If you are looking for something to give you mental comfort and some support go for 12 mainly if you plan on using them a lot throughout your workouts . If you are looking for good support for heavy weight go for 24 to 30 inch. But they aren't really comfortable to be wearing all throughout the day mainly for heavy lift like above 70 percent max. Anderson powerlifting have very good wraps for 20-25 usd

>>42512577
Don't approve of Rippetoe's style?

>>42512513
Depth is bad. I recomend to lower the weight and play around with stance and back angle. Also go slower on the way down, you can get better control over the weight that way and that's needed if you can't squat to depth.

>>42512513
if you're worried about depth just go deeper..

Happened to me as well. I had to give up powerlifting. Reached 365 squat and 445 deadlift, was feeling good. Had to start working 50 hours a week. Not enough recovery time. Shit sleep because graveyard shifts. Poor nutrition. My squat went to 245, deadlift to 285. I either had to quit lifting altogether or quit powerlifting. Lifting for aesthetics is still somewhat fun I guess.

>>42514987

Volume training is not the only way to get bigger and stronger. The most notable instances of low volume (that I've seen) are Westside, HIT, and DC.

>>42515265
>>42515311
Look, niggers, here's your new plan: go in as often as you can, more or less alternating squat and deadlift days with front squats tossed in at random whenever you feel like. Keep the squat reps somewhat higher for the most part, keep the deadlift reps lower and the intensity/RPE higher, probably do a few more squat sets than DL sets in general. Bench every day mostly in the 2-5 range and do something else when you just really don't feel like benching. Every day, hit one big or two small accessories. Like barbell rows or RDLs (one) or bis/tris or facepulls/leg curls (two). There you go, there's your plan, now you can suck less.

It can be an asskicker but I can still get in for at least a couple quick sessions a week. If all you have is an hour, hour fifteen, you can still deadlift and bench. If all you have is 45 minutes, you can still deadlift. If you're totally beat to shit and tired, just go eat a pizza and sleep. I *understand* people in EMS (or anywhere) who are "too busy" to train/stay in shape, but really go fuck yourself, just show up to the gym a few days a week and get a $100 exercise bike or airdyne of craigslist for home.

The novice program and TM combined are for young athletes that are lifting in the off-season. There are a bunch of programs in Practical Programming that aren't the Texas Method.

It's extremely uncomfortable and my upper back isn't even an issue given I can easily squat 91% with a SSB. There is absolutely 0 reason for me to bother with high bar.

>>42515583
This I can't even imagine doing lowbar it's so unnatural and counter intuitive.

>>42515567
Literally everyone at my station was a fat fuck complaining of back pain. Luckily converted a few people but the problem is still widespread.

>>42515600
What does he recommend for post SS these days? Besides Sheiko Adv High obv

>>42515644
A few of the younger guys actually squat and pull weight off the ground, my girlfriend does, everyone else is old (at the age of 32), broken, and fat. I should probably just fucking leave and get my BSN or MPAS before I turn into one of them but...

NPs and PAs have some good shit. Nursing may have a bridge program depending on your state/location.

>>42515714
I could get my RN in 16 months. I should probably just fucking do it and have this for fall-back/fun, but then again PA would only be like another 8 months. Except demanding as fuck vs like 1-2 days a week... decisions decisions

>>42512265
I lurk sometimes. Usually just see faceguy babysitting when i come on

>>42515737
bullshit usually I see you btfo dyels on /fit/

>>42515734
I'd opt for PA. There's a lot of shit you can do. Good luck all the same if you pursue either.

>>42515760
I thought they were asking if i hang out in plg

I do enjoy dropping in on dyel threads

>>42515763
Yeah, emergency or surg PA sounds like a pretty sweet gig, I'm definitely leaning towards it. Sounds like you left the field, where did you move?

I want to put my penis inside a vagina so I can die already

Reminder to be positive, respect everyone, and try to understand where everyone is coming from.

EXACTLY!!!! I WISH WE COULD TRADE RACISTS FOR IMMIGRANTS!!!!!!

>>42516286

Racists and Immigrants are people too, friend, and they're just as scared as you are; it's ok to be frightened.

Just do your best to listen.

>>42516241
Thank you!

I let 3 migrants stay in my modest home, my daughter is a disgusting racist and tried to get me to kick the poor migrants out by claiming they raped her.

I don't believe her, she's obviously trying to get me to kick them out.

She should tolerate their culture and find it flattering if anything.

If you're not the same person I'll eat my knee sleeves. There's panzer and one other anon shitposter who are dedicated polfags in /plg/ with maybe one or two random /fit/ interlopers who happen in now and then.

I don't understand? I'm agreeing with you.

America is for Migrants first. Before the American people.
We were all immigrants ourselves xD

>>42516497
Can you buy your own beer yet?

>>42516502

>>42516502
I'm in my mid 30s LOL. I own a house, a car, have a loving wife who's balloon knot I pound every night, and we have an infant daughter.

What can you say about yourself? You're just another fat fuck alt right NAZI online.

My family are happy having 3 migrants in our home.
