What's the bare minimum total I need to be considered a powerlifter

>>42850405
I suppose 75kg cause thats how much you have to lift at a minimum at a meet

any total at a meet makes you a PLer

now if you are good or not is different

>>42850439
Take up fishing

Somewhat unrelated, while trying to accumulate more deadlift volume, should I do more sets at a weight I can do for 5, or should I drop the weight and do more sets at a higher rep range? (10 for example)

Example being, would I benefit more from 3x5 or 1x5, 2x10, (all sets RPE9 in a perfect world)

>>42850428
So you are not a powerlifter despite all your time here?

>>42850489
Panzie is glorious Oly lifter masterrace™

>>42850439
I don't. I lift, I occasionally run, then I just lay in bed until its time to do it again.

Do i really need to eat 1g of protons per pound of bw?
Gomad only gives me like 120.

I am the backbone of this community

what I will this general to be it becomes


also why would you want to be this

>>42850513
No you don't. Try for a gram per 1.8kg of bw.

That's my personal sweet spot

>>42850514
That's Sean though.

>>42850513
You should be eating regular foods as well my dude. Two decent pieces of meat and actually counting the macros you'd get some from carbs as well and wind up near 180-200g which is about as high as you'd ever have to go unless you're a very large guy

>>42850513
I remember a medical journal that people were passing around saying it's 1g per lb of lean body mass not weight, so a person who is 20% bf needs less than a dude who's ripped at the same weight.

>>42850476
Rep range is largely irrelevant as long as the sets are the same difficulty, although high rep ranges will improve your cardiovascular ability to not get winded like a little bitch after 2-3 reps. Number of sets is way more important when it comes to volume.

I took a screenshot of a stream of some meet we were watching on a streaming site

I have no idea what meet or when this was

>>42850551
Yes.
The "confusion" over it being bodyweight instead of lbm thing is just to get retards to buy more scoops.

>>42850597
Your mom was last night in bed

Is protein a meme macro? What are the symptoms of not getting enough protein?

>>42850648
muscle atrophy

you need aminos from SOMEWHERE

>>42850648
Don't build as much muscle.

I don't count protein and I am small and make shit progression despite lifting so long, so if I were you, I'd probably count you macros.

>>42850672
>>42850648

Just eat like 1lb of meat a day and you'll be fine.

Im super fine on protein. I get between 150-200g a day. I was just curious since it feels like the matter of protein is never brought up again after lifters leave the novice phase.

>>42850749
Not a fan desu, although if she didn't use anything for 3? years she's technically usapl legal iirc. I feel like if that rule wasn't a thing, then many of the lifters that we enjoy talking about, like Jen Thompson, wouldn't be in the USAPL/IPF.

at what bodyweight

1234 is 2-3 months of LP for a 100+kg lean dude while for smaller boys it takes a couple of years

>>42850749
Taking a deload week is so fucking boring

>>42850711
This is literally what I do. When I buy meat I buy it in whole number increments of weight and roughly divide it out because I don't want to fuck around with a scale

>always needed heels to hit depth on squat

Fuck, I don't even know anymore. I'm not gaining strength on back squats (despite my other quad exercises like front squats going up), so I'll be dropping them for a while anyway, but it'll be interesting to see how that goes when I come back to them.

I'll probably try a rep max or something in flats during my deload, just to feel it out.

Agreed. This is the easiest way to do it. However, only a pound per day is probably not enough if you want to weigh any significant amount without carrying extra fat.

Oh definitely. Think about all the time they've spent training and traveling together. As horny teenagers they've might've experimented with each other. He's probably "accidentally" walked in on her changing and got a cheeky peek at her boobs/ass.

>>42850993
Doesn't mean that all straight men haven't fucked at least once.
Besides, the men who've fucked those women's DNA is part of the child's DNA whether you realize it or not.

The woman I made love too as a young man and would spend the rest of my life with left me for another man.
But years later when I checked up on her on facebook the kid, a junior highschool kid now, is fairly tall and has big legs too.

Women bring forth new life and every man she choose to love or just have some of that nasty nasty sex with will leave her with a genetic legacy that will show in the face and body and even heart of any children she has for the rest of her life.

>>42851109

>>42851139
You didn't know?
The DNA from men stays in a woman's body forever. It even changes her DNA and every child who is born will also have their DNA changed as well.
The father is the main donor, but every other man who's been with her will change the childs dna.

Don't wait around for your life to begin, for it already has. Each day you live feels shorter than the day before. Every year passes faster.
Don't lose the everyday impulse because you're waiting for the big one months and years from now. When the big impulse arrives, you don't want to realize you didn't enjoy the journey there.

You'll have all those things when they're due. Make plans, but be realistic, and know that life rarely goes according to plan.

the lyrics are quite nostalgic and sad and have excellent delivery?

>>42852429
He is quite a depressing writer, yes. But I really like his stuff because it's some of the only art that makes me feel nostalgic, which is weird because a) I'm not really nostalgic in general and b) I'm almost feeling nostalgic for him. Like, the song I posted the other day sounds like a pretty standard love song at first, but it's actually about his home town/state and how it's changed. When I realized that I really began to appreciate it and it's probably one of my favorite songs ever desu, it just really hits me.

But yeah, depressing guy. Alesund does look very pretty, it reminds me a little bit of some of the port towns in northern washington from the Google image results.

do you think I'd go to Europe to see my celebrity e-waifu?

I'd go to Latvia because it is the most bang for buck I can get in terms of euro vacation due to low cost of living comparatively unless I went to iceland cause they subsidize shit like that but who wants to go to Iceland

Plus its not as decrepit like other Eastern Euro countries. Riga is a great tourist spot, Ventspils and Liepaja are good beach spots and they have this cool national park I'd want to see too, AND if I went in June I could visit during Līgo and Jāņi which are traditional festivals there

I've calculated it out and the whole thing would cost like a max of 1500 if I wanted to be profligate(assuming I snag a good flight price)

its a no brainer really

plus I have never left the east coast so it would be cool to travel

My country uses kg, but the literature says 0.8g per lean lb bodyweight and 1.76 per lean kg bodyweight just sounds weird. Might as well call it 1.5g per kg total bodyweight and let it be simple.

the whole region looks nice tbH. It looks a lot like the pacific northwest, at least the areas near the ocean do, not the snowy parts so much. With the exception that the cities look a LOT comfier over there, cities over here aren't all that comfy. they're either tourist traps, suburban sprawl or californians pretending to be oregonian/washintonians.

>This is the stuff I just can't pick up in lyrics/poems/what have you
It must be my above average "openness to experience."

I wonder what effect Mike T imagines that has on training.

>>42854132
Should be 1.8g per lean kg of bodyweight then, to keep the accuracy of the original formula. I still think 0.8 per lean lb is easier to remember though.

>>42854163
:) you did recommended me rhp. I do remember listening to them at my old gym.

Thanks for the music, I'll give it a listen

>>42854174
No that makes no sense, who on gods earth knows their lean bw? Nobody, not even machine readings are that accurate.

At least I'm not that bad

>>42854198
You guess and then eat a bit more protein to compensate for margin of error. Either way 1.8g per kg bw is only realistic for very lean lifters.

>>42854206
What did you mean by this

>>42854215
Then good, you should be lean if you're a powerlifter.

>>42854228
Very lean meaning 6%. 1.7g/kg bw is appropriate for 10% bf and even less above that. 10-12 is the range most powerlifters perform best at.

>>42854252
You're just making this up

Anyone who uses your formula must be green and covered in red dots and have 4 legs

>>42854260
Are you retarded? This is just a simple conversion from 0.8g protein per lb lean body mass to x grams protein per kg total body mass, and I round the protein intake up a bit to make room for error in bodyfat estimation.

I.E. Someone has 180lbs lean mass, therefore has to eat around 145g protein per day. Assuming that person is 10% bf their bodyweight is 180/0.9 = 200lbs. 200lbs in kg is 91kg, 91 * 1.7 is 154g. 1.6 is technically all they'd need but nobody is accurate to the nearest gram, so I say 1.7 to leave a ~10 gram margin of error.

>>42854322
This only applies if you're green, covered in red dots and have 4 legs though

>>42854338
Sounds like you have literally nothing else to add.

Lifting is the only thing that gets me excited nowadays lads. Idk what to do. No hobbies interest me and videogames are an empty shell of what they used to be.

Fuck why is yakob so sexy

Can a 100kg dude on SS/SL expect to hit either of the iconic 1/2/3/4, but for 5 (FIVE) reps?

OHP is the easiest and most achievable, I feel.

>>42856788
>100kg dude
You should be already hitting all of those for reps.

>>42856788
If you've hit all of those for 1rms at 100kg bw you're almost intermediate, so you should be looking to get off SS sometime soon and probably consider a cut before you become bobby.

>>42856788
plugged the numbers into strengthstandards and they're mostly in middle intermediate level. OHP is almost novice though but deadlift is almost advanced.

So probably depending on how blessed your genetics are you might . But I wouldn't grind to a halt on SS or SL just to get them. Don't get so attached to arbitrary numbers.

>>42856789
Boring. You need to innovate. Get with the times grandpa

>>42856788
>Can I keep adding 2.5 kg 1.5 times a week from a hypothetical starting point of 60 kg until 180 kg?
No, you are going to stall around 120-140 depending on how hard you bulk and how long your arms are. From there you'll need to find an intermediate program.

>>42856814
When you're that fat 60 is your starting point for bench, not deadlift.

No. Source: me. My first bench was 40 and my first deadlift was 70 at 100 kg

Has anyone here tried sleeping pills?

>>42856937
I've tried ZMA and valerian tea. Neither is a sleeping aid per se, just sometimes advertised as such
Valerian does nothing and tastes like shit
ZMA won't knock you out, but when you do sleep you will sleep "deeper". Didn't notice improvements in recovery though
Honestly senpai the best I did for rest and recovery is workout morning and no mobile past 10pm, also minimize caffeine to just a shot pre workout, cut out alcohol, and minimize staying up late for clubbing to once every couple of weeks

>>42856949

>>42856810
>But I wouldn't grind to a halt on SS or SL just to get them.
So, SS is 3x5 across all 3 phases, after 2-3 deloads on phase 3, the program is finished.

But SL goes like this:
5x5; after 3 deloads, switch to:
3x5; after 3 deloads, switch to:
3x3; after 3 deloads, switch to:
1x3; after 3 deloads, the program is finished.
(obviously, there is prior ramp to these)

Is 3x3 and 1x3 worth anything or is it just included so Mehdi can sell extra features for his app?

>>42856814
Interesting. I was hoping to reach at least 160kg. Adding 5kg on DL each session btw, otherwise Squats progress more rapidly than Deadlift.

Has anyone ever experienced pain in the scapular area of the back/back of the ribcage after benching? Along with difficulty in taking deep breaths?

My bench has been progressing extremely well the last 6 months but I've been getting these really weird sensations during my last sessions. And it's only from bench press. OHP and rows etc are not an issue. I decided to take a break from benching after yesterday, but just now it hit me again while fucking sneezing. Seriously couldn't take deep breaths for like 10 minutes afterwards and it's still hurts when my move my right shoulderblade.

Gonna book an appointment with a pt or doctor, just want to know if anyone's experienced something like this.

>>42857014
3x3 and 1x3 is to reduce volume so you can pretend you're getting stronger when really you're just peaking. Once you can't get stronger at your old volume, you should increase, not decrease volume.

>>42857014
The logic is sound, if you cant progress with 5x5, progress with 3 sets, right? But this doesn't drive strength gains as much as just increasing numbers. When your progress starts slowing down as a novice you generally need more stress for your body to adapt and become stronger. While the loads are heavier, the stress you'd rather want is more volume. More sets. Doing more sets of your 5max across isn't gonna be very effective either, which is why instead of memeing around on SL once 5x5 stops working you should spent your time wisely and switch to an intermediate progam.

>>42857014
>Is 3x3 and 1x3 worth anything or is it just included so Mehdi can sell extra features for his app?
This >>42857033

>>42857049
this is correct except 5x5 is too much volume to recover from in 1 rest day. Which is why SS starts with 3x5 and why mehdi is a retard

>>42857080
I'd first of all like to say I'm not looking to start shit or argue. Could you find me any sort of source on that? I'd like to read it. I feel like an actual novice isn't gonna be working within the same intensity with a 5x5 as an intermediate, meaning the level of stress is still recoverable from. And I assume it's only on the squats?

>>42857091
He's wrong but novices can progress with less volume and to some extent SS is kind of a peaking program anyway. Intermediates handle more volume because they have more work capacity and because they need it, not because they recover easier from it.

>>42857049
>>42857080
Well, I chose 5x5 to practice the form more (Power Cleans are still 5x3). I'll switch to 3x5 soon enough, you guys convinced me.

Might lifting at night be a reason why i have trouble sleeping?
I just want to sleep bros.

>>42857145
The only guy who really recommends Texas Method is Rippetoe and guys who ran modified Texas Method to the point where it wasn't Texas Method but they still called it Texas Method.

I did have a lot of success with it regarding squats though I won't deny. But Bench made barely any progress and deadlift actually regressed.

Nuckol's programs and C6W seems to be the popular intermediate choices atm.

531 is back and forth imo, if you run its basic form you're wasting your time but you can do some fun shit with it if you make the right adjustments. Joker sets are fun as fuck.

>>42857163
>deadlift regressed
Did you do a lot of deadlift volume before TM? Seems pretty weird for DL to regress when squats are going up.

>>42857145
>What's /plg/'s consensus of the Texas Method (pic.)?
3 things
1
The bare bones TM is only good for squats
Where you got that particular picture from (powerlifting to win) has some better alternatives, such as not alternating bench/OHP and subbing cleans for a light deadlift variation
2
You can also find good modifications to TM by googling "12 ways to skin TM"
3
Whatever you choose, TM in the sense of weekly peaking is the fastest way to progress as an EARLY intermediate, but after some time that will stop too unless you bulk to obesity. Beyond that point, it's better to pick programs like 531, nuckols or c6w that have you doing heavy volume work for a couple of weeks and taper down to a monthly peak
>Seems like the native follow-up for SS.
Yes but not for too long
>Or 5/3/1?
Make sure to do jokers and FSL if you doo choose it, but it still is kinda slow and silly. C6W and nuckols are more specific and better organized. 531 will have you do the same rep scheme for all 4 lifts, even though the requirement for 100% of powerlifters is bench > squat > deadlift > ohp

>>42857145
>What's /plg/'s consensus of the Texas Method

Don't base your evaluation on the 531 book, it's basically Wendler jerking himself off and telling how smart he is for coming up with this program

Are you a NEET or something? A hard day of work should help reset your sleeping pattern.

What also helps is sucking it up and just laying there for hours and resisting the urge to go on your phone or laptop or whatever

As someone who has laid there for hours on end I can tell you it doesn't work. You have to get up, distract yourself from sleeping and try again. I once had to wake up at 7am while going to sleep at 1-2am every night, so I went to bed at 10 and pretty much laid there until 4am. Stress induced insomnia is a bitch.
