ran the under 80kg 3 day i added a 4th day for the two prep cycles.
15lb pr on squat
haven't truly maxed my bench
and 8lbs pr on deadlift
i think i have a little bit more on squat and dead actually, i just didn't pick attempts that were spot on
bench i think i'm going to actually max this saturday. might have gotten 10lbs out of the peak cycle desu.
pretty satisfied.

This one hurt real bad. Realized that lifting should be fun, right?
Spiced up the last set with some recently unpacked holiday decorations (what a madman) :)
Felt pretty tight and sore. Looking forward to finishing this month of hell and testing maxes.

>I typed t b h but it shows as desu
what is this? censorship on 4chan? what's going on
>>34926382
Yep. I'm not a huge fan of it personally, because I think it's a less stable rack for the bar, but plenty of really strong people do it that way, and if you really wanna front squat, and you can't do a proper front rack, it's a good alternative.
>>34926388
>anther week past and still no babby born
Due date is the 18th. Everything is going perfectly (fingers still crossed).
>>34926382
>is it okay to do this guys
If you can learn the front rack position, it's better, but a lot of 'big guys' go for the genie squat. As long as you're able to move the weight, go for it.
>>34926323
It's like watching someone squat with a tsunami bar
>>34926415
>a tsunami bar
It's a Texas Power bar, which has a little whip. The bumpers shift the weight out a little more, so the whip is exaggerated. Also, my fat ass has it's own gravitational pull, which makes the bar wobbly.

Your bench sounds pretty mean right now, friend. Especially for someone with your wingspan. How did your recent board presses go? More like "Bordshorts" rite?
>>34926518

Nah. That TPB is a jack of all trades for me. A thicker squat bar isn't as easy to use for rows and front squat (manlet hands).

What's good /PLG/, I got a question for y'all.
Lately I've been doing heavy OHP while sitting in the chair, But I feel like even with the back support I arch my lower back too much which I think hurts it and my spine. So I was thinking about switching the OHP to Incline Bench. Is this a good idea? Will I lose out on Shoulder gains?
Also anyone got any good drills for squat mobility? And does anyone know how to rehabilitate a fucked hip flexor? Thanks everybody.
Especially u sparrow u qt
>>34926683
I was going to respond to this by calling you a f*****, but I couldn't even do it. :( I think I win for the night

Can't go wrong with Agile 8.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B-3Khbht5s
>>34926693
>switching the OHP to Incline Bench. Is this a good idea?
Good enough as accessory. More important, get in some face pulls, rear delt flyes, band pull-aparts, etc. for full shoulder health.
>>34926711
Sorry lass. Everyone forgets I'm actually a libertarian tard, and I just SJW to piss off Sean.
Lads! Rare photo of me and Sean 2gether at last!
>>34926693
>Good drills for squat mobility
The best thing for increasing mobility for a lift is to find your limiting factor and attack it directly. For me it's adductors. Find your limiting factor and focus on it.
>How to fix fucked hip flexor
In the shower massage it by slowly working towards down along the hip flexor, then same thing but zig zag across. The actual movement isnt that important just massage it while in a hot shower. Should help. If you start getting hip flexor problems often you might have a problem with your glutes.

>>34926733
Thanks bro. I already do the Agile 8 every time I train legs (except for the Lower back stretch, I can't do it and am afraid of looking like a retard) and my mobility is fucking shit so I gotta try something else.

>>34926668
Fucking lol
I'm here for you bby
do you guys think deadlift to knees and paused deadlift right off the floor would be about the same intensity at the same weight?

Lol. Well played, sir.
>>34926816
>Do I just have to do it more often?
I recommend setting your safeties high, and just trying to rack the weight you want to squat and hold.
See if you are stable. If it feels good to rack it and take your bracing breath, then lower your safeties and give it a rip. Be safe :/
literally no fucking clue whats wrong with my hamstring.
still not sure if I pulled it or if it was actually a small tear.
I was standing in my room today and leaned over on one leg not thinking and my hip made another loud popping noise (though much less than the first time) and now it hurts alot less, though its still tender.
Could it have been... like, pinched? or something? i have no fucking clue wtf is going on.
>>34926897
>>34926897
In situations where it suddenly feels better, I think it's best to just pretend it never happened and not think about it.
I've noticed for a long time that there is a very strong inverse relationship between how much bodybuilding accessories I do and my susceptibility to injuries. My osteopath says it's because it stops me from allowing weaknesses to develop which is what causes a lot of injuries.
Anyone else notice this?
>>34926828
>>34926839
>>34926855
Oi, the problem is I really like front squatting and the only "comfortable" rack position (i.e. on my shoulders and not slipping down) really, really, constricts my breathing.
I tried doing some fs the other day for the first time in a long time and after every 2nd or 3rd rep I would cough :/
>>34926918
I've had similar thoughts. that thought crossed my mind with this hamstring bullshit thats developed since yesterday, though I threw it out the window quickly after.
no idea how much merit it has.
>>34926918
How do I stop slacking off on bbing work?
Nine weeks into sheiko and I've skipped most of the flyes, gms aND lunges...
>>34926897
>Could it have been... like, pinched? or something? i have no fucking clue wtf is going on.
Sorry to hear of your mystery pop, friend.
Might be worth a trip to the physio. Anti inflammatories, ice/heat, and high rep low/no weight movement to see how it's responding.
Hopefully it's just one of those 'mystery tweaks' that go by the wayside soon.
>>34926912
>I think it's best to just pretend it never happened and not think about it.
Muh sides :)
>>34926918
>Anyone else notice this?
Yes. Also, when you're doing more bodybuilding, you're doing LESS intensity and volume for the big 3...
>>34926940
>really, really, constricts my breathing.
>I tried doing some fs the other day for the first time in a long time and after every 2nd or 3rd rep I would cough :/
Work on shoulder mobility.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGsMoJW-RDY
If not, you'll inevitably lose your rack position and either dump the bar or pass out.
>>34926974
this morning I was legitimately convinced i had a small tear in my hamstring.
I'm still pretty worried about it, but given the last 20 minutes of events it doesn't seem SO bleak.
>>34926956
I keep running into this problem, alot.
i get done with a 2.5 horu workout and look at 6x5 goodmornings, 6x5 dips and 5x4 DB press and think
"yea, nah, fuck that"
>>34926956
I go in on Saturdays and sometimes tuesdays and do a BBing workout.
>>34926974
>Yes. Also, when you're doing more bodybuilding, you're doing LESS intensity and volume for the big 3...
Not for me. I've been doing more BBing this cycle and this is the most volume I've ever done on the comps lifts and their variants.
How long do you guys train in the gym? I'm running Candito's linear program and it usually takes me between 1:15-1:45 min depending on if it's a lower/upper day. He says you should only train for like 45-60 min, so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.
>>34927016
>I've been doing more BBing this cycle and this is the most volume I've ever done on the comps lifts and their variants.
There IS a trend to go back towards 'classic' powerlifting methods (when bodybuilding and powerlifting were better bedfellows).
Hyper-specific programming has its limitations. And if you're not running gear to keep everything growing all the time, then neglected areas start to rear their ugly heads.
I'm pro-volume :)
>>34927028
>How long do you guys train in the gym?
Smolov takes me an hour to 1:15. Sheiko took me 1:30-1:45. Bulgarian was 30-60min. Depends on how much rest you need.
>>34927028
Usually 1.5 - 2 hours if it's a large volume session. This cycle I've been trying to get my working sets done on squats and bench with about 10-20 minutes on the clock making my rests between 1-3 minutes.
>>34926940
The /owg/ guys would probably be able to help you better than us, friend.
>>34927004
>this morning I was legitimately convinced i had a small tear in my hamstring.
Fuck, lad. Hopefully it's not that bad and you've just pissed the thing off a bit.
>>34927028
Even being on a low volume program like 5/3/1, I'm usually in the gym for ninety minutes, including warmup and mobility work. More if some of the regulars I like to shoot the shit with are there.
>you will never have amber mobility
>>34927409
You Americans are weird with your dancing girls
>>34926918

how do you pronounce sheiko
>>34927934
I usually say Shay-Ko
Guys I wanna run a meme routine and have some fun. Should I go with the cube method or modified 5/3/1(s/b/d twice a week)?
>>34927934
Pretty sure its meant to be pronounced Shy-ko, but I speak like three words of Russian to take that with a grain of salt.
>>34928028

>>34928028
c6w is the most fun program I've run, and it has you squatting and benching twice per week, if that is what you're looking for. All I've really heard about 5/3/1 is that it's not a PL program and it's for cutting etc etc. I know nothing about cube method.
>>34927973
>>34928042
hmm I've always said sheeko in my head, but apparently it is Shay-ko like Caladan said
>>34928051
nn bb
>>34927973
I always wondered about sheiko's origins. His last name always bugged me. It doesnt sound russian at all.
>>34928370
Its a fairly common Russian surname.
>>34928370
Did a quick search in Russian. He was apparently born in Moscow and studied in Ukraine at one point. The "-ko" is pretty common in Ukrainian lastnames.
>>34928400
>>34928421
Yeah -ko part is not so confusing, I know of pavlyuchenko's and others. The shei part is kinda weird to me, idk. I'm in country kinda close to russia so yeah, maybe i just didnt hear about it often.
We ded thred hours, nao?
>>34928028
As a guy that has run a lot of meme routines for fun, I'm currently at the start of my 4th week on cube and having fun with it. That being said, the first 3 weeks are pretty low-intensity.

Reposting from QTDDTOT
I'm having an issue with bench press, I'm setting up okay, got a good arch and my shoulderblades are retracted, but about 10cm off my chest, my form goes to shit, the bar moves a bunch more towards my head instead of diagonally up. What would likely be the cause of this? Tried keeping my shoulders in, but at any decent weight it happens no matter how much I focus on it.
>>34928722
Do you have any video of the phenomenon?
>>34928654
william bonney best band
>>34928768
I don't, sorry, no way to upload it. Best way to describe it is as if my lats gave out at stabilising the bar though, and instead of it being a diagonal movement, it moves the horizontal component all at once, then the vertical after. Not sure how to describe it otherwise.
>>34928722
depending on how egregious this might not be a bad thing. the bench is expected to have a j-curve. pic related. if it is ridiculously bad though it could be tricep weakness resulting in your overflaring very quickly? without a video we can't really be sure though.
>>34928917
It definitely could be triceps actually, it's much worse than those are, it's more like the curve at the end of c except at the bottom and more extreme. So I'm guessing tricep accessories would be a good idea? Would adding in ones for biceps be a good idea too?
>>34928917
It could also be a weak upper back and/or poor setup. Pretty much anything that compromises your tightness at the bottom will tend to induce more flare (flaring at the bottom of the bench is a lot like tipping forward in the squat or rounding on the deadlift - its kind of the default 'shit is now fucked up' failure mode for a bad lift).
>>34928978
Could be weak upper back, my rows are about 15lbs lighter than my bench, though I've heard conflicting stuff about whether they should be higher or not, so didn't worry too much.
>>34928962
biceps probably wouldn't help your problem but there's no issue with adding in light curls.
if its just lack of control at the bottom you can try spoto presses with submaximal weights (you pause just off of your chest for a couple seconds before pressing) and try to reinforce the correct position.
i feel like most of these problems aren't actually muscular imbalances/weaknesses, but rather poor cueing/a bad motor pattern that's just been ingrained through repetition, and the solution to that is to force yourself to move the right way until its natural.
>>34928985
tbf my rows are probably 100lbs weaker than my bench, since i never train bent over rows, and i've never felt like my back was my limiting factor in bench.
>>34928990
Its rare, but weak biceps (or more typically, brachialis) can mess with bench technique if the disparity is enough that they can't stabilise the joint as effectively as they should. Its also a major contributor to elbow pain when benching heavy.
Wouldn't call them necessary but once in a while hammer curls really are the solution.
>>34929006
i didn't mean to imply that bicep work can never help a bench, i meant that in this case i don't think that it was the solution. i agree that elbow pain + shaking and stuff can be caused by weak biceps
>not doing atleast 3 curl variations after every workout totalling into 10x10 curls
anybody want to help me decide what to workout tomorrow? my mid back is super sore, my upper back is pretty sore, and my glutes are pretty sore, all from my meet yesterday. so i think squats and deadlifts are out of the picture. what are some fun accessories i can do for bench/arms/shoulders/chest
>>34929038
Sounds like a day of floor press + broing out.
>>34928990
I think it might be stabilising muscles, I feel kinda shaky at points doing the lifts, any particular tricep accessories you'd recommend to help with it? I'll do a deload as well though, and work on the motion. Might deload and work back up with spoto, actually.
>>34929015
>>34929006
Ya, my biceps are shitty, and I used to get elbow pain when benching (don't anymore), so I might add in some hammer curls on alternating days. Is 3x5 optimal for curls?
>>34929062
i like french press for triceps
LTEs are a very similar movement
close grip is always safe
Mike T and garrett blevins like JM press. there's a ton desu.
i'd say right rep ranges for curls. you don't really need to go so heavy that 3x5 is necessary. 3-5x8-12
>>34929062
High rep for curls generally. I know some people who've done strength work for them (mostly because some comps throw in strict curls as a fun fourth lift once in a while) and it strengthens the biceps a lot but its also really prone to causing wrist and elbow pain. Not really necessary for general lifting.
>>34929071
I'll try french press then, can't imagine more benching when it's my bench that's shit it going to be a great idea.
>>34929123
if you stop benching it will be even worse when you go back to it
its a very form concious lift that needs technique dialling in

>>34926850
>this makes me uneasy...
Why.Do you wanna date the black kid?
>>34929073
This. I started having elbow pain during squats on my last training session, but then I did 5x15 barbell curls at the end of training which made my elbow feel much better.
>>34929533
texas method is a better choice desu
>>34929593
Do you mind explaining why you think so?I'll definitely do more research on madcow,texas method and 5/3/1 when I get through SS.
>>34926598
Literally asking for it sitting here on a resource-rich continent with no disease immunity and shitty technology.
>>34929533
>>34929629
Nothing wrong with either of them. Texas Method is more long-term than Madcow imo, which is relatively easy to get stuck on but can work if you're fresh out of SS. You can also customize TM in a number of ways.
I wouldn't worry about 5/3/1 until you're a late intermediate/advanced lifter and even then there are better options. Making it work for pl requires some fiddling.

Now now. You stop that.
Your fitness transformation is a very powerful one.
Don't let the /fit/ mentality sink in too deep. This place be toxic.

>if i don't pr after this cycle i'll legit kill myself
Athletes that think this way fail often.
Instead of thinking about the results conditionally, try to enjoy the process of getting stronger.
If you ENJOY lifting weights and you take pleasure in becoming stronger, you'll see better progress.
The brain is the biggest limiting factor in sports. Not the body.

not being good enough just works as a good driving force for me, it's what keeps me from ever skipping a workout on a shit day

>Whenever I get stronger where I want to be/could be raises..fuck.
Come to appreciate it desu, almost afraid of one day being content with where I am because historically that's where I've been stopping. Just keep raising that bar.
On the downside hitting milestones isn't the same as when I hit 4plate and thought that was a legit good DL lel

w-what?
I'm not even the first guy I just think you're stupid and insecure.
>>34930988
Impressive, but I dont arch my back like that. I also bench pretty close grip, I keep my ring finger on the mark and I have 6'2" wing span. I see some people benching their palms almost in the end of the bar.
But is it the correct way? I feel like I get the most power with pretty close grip
>>34930969
i bench 100kg for 8 and my chest is passable. not huge. pretty big though. people always ask me what i do for chest.

>>34931077
I cant, but Ive seen even worse archs. I saw the video of that skinny guy literally having 1" ROM. And these 100lbs girls benching 300lbs easy.
>>34931044
i used to bench pretty narrow
went wide and it feels 100% more like a movement than using specific muscles
What are everyone's favorite accessories that address common sticking points in the main lifts?
e.g. floor press, pause deadlift
>>34931103
>more like a movement than using specific muscles
this, the wider I've gone the more the bench almost feels like an isometric
>>34930399
Th-thanks anon-kun
>>34931143
I don't believe in sticking points
>>34930953
>>34931154
im of this opinion
hammering the bit where you fail only works to a point
martial artists dont punch through wood slowly, if they did it wouldnt break, you 'stick' because you are too slow, get stronger and youll be faster and wont decelerate to the point where the bar stops
>>34930418
was that picture taken at Madtown Fitness
>>34931143
for squat my sticking point is like 6 inches above depth, like I can shoot up and then hit a wall about 6 inches up. I have no idea what to do about that.
For bench, lockout is my weak point. The most fun thing I have tried is pin benching with the pins at a height where my elbows bend at 90 degrees. Also close grip bench, french press, rippetoe tricep extensions, cable tricep extensions, everything really. Beginning to just accept that my triceps are weak
For deadlift, lockout. double pause deadlifts have been really good for that though.
>>34931338
Then there are the self-imposed mental roadblocks. For example, at seminars guys will say, "I always get stuck four inches above the chest."
So I'll throw it back to them. "Always?" I ask.
"Yes," they say, "four inches above my chest."
I'll throw it back again. "Always?"
Now they start to get it. They've conditioned themselves to expect to miss. It dominates their mental dialogue throughout the lift when they want to be focused on technique and performance cues.
Other guys are the opposite. They're getting fucked over by too much false bravado and "rah rah rah" type of crap.
Again, the mind should be a blank void except for precise technique cues. If you let yourself get too aroused or are surrounded by overly amped spotters, these important cues will likely be forgotten or ignored.
>>34931338
Assuming this isn't a mental thing(>>34931378), you would probably be better off just doing close-grip work around the 70-80% mark.
>>34931416
Whatever is being done never try and ease the bar. Always be trying to move it as fast as possible, throw it through the ceiling
>>34931378
>just grip the bar and stand up dude
>>34931378
I see what you mean, but I think that you're wrong about people expecting to miss a lift. Like when going for a hard bench rep for example, I don't actually think "ok, if I fail, I am going to fail because my right arm can't lockout". I always do the best I can. Just every rep that I've failed in the last 6 months has been because my right arm can't lock it out. I see that every time I fail is for the same reason.
Or deadlifts for example, I fully expect to lock out a weight if I can get it off the ground. I just historically have problems with back rounding, so lockout is harder.
It's never that I get into my own head about expecting to fail for whatever reason, it is just I see myself missing for the same reason over and over, so I say that is my weak point.
>>34931437
so are you an advocate of speed work? I have literally never done any speed work at all, I always try to control the weight as best I can. Or are you just saying that every working rep should be speed work
Why the FUCK would this fat piece of shit risk snapping his shit up by putting a god-damned wreath on his head?

Fatigued squats, hey, lets fuck around.
The fuck.
>>34931452
Youve literally confirmed what i said
"I dont fail cause i expect to fail at the same point i just know i always fail at the same point"
No im not one for speed work but every rep from bar to 1rm i try and move as quick as i can, even if it looks slow im putting 100% into trying to accelerate it as much as possible
>>34931461
I think it's some Westside thing
>>34931476
mid-rep, I never think about failing it because of x reason, I am always thinking about just moving the bar up. But I'm sure even you can see (or feel) yourself weaker in one position than another on some lift. Like, you don't expect yourself to fail a deadlift on lockout (or right off the floor) for example, but that's where failure happens for you in that spot more often than not. I don't think that acknowledging that you have a weak point causes you to fail because you got into your own head about it.
so you treat every rep like it is speed work, just don't call it that?

>>34931476
also, you're dealing with a bicep/forearm issue in one of your arms, right? Just curious if that is the arm that you have palm out when you deadlift, and if that was what you think caused it or what
>>34931550
No one gives a shit you stupid fagit fuck this isn't your personal blog
>>34931437
You don't really need to make the conscious decision to put any speed into the bar when you're using such a light load.

Benchbro? You here?
In other news, hit 97% of my PB for a smooth single today. Did some light 5's, assistance for a set of 3's and some curls. All in all a neat day.
>>34931559
No its not
It was improper grip on low bar squats and poor shoulder mobility
>>34931579
You dont need to but you should. Its why all my reps look very similar
>>34931631
Glad to help

can you elaborate at all?
Hey guys, me again with the GF who has trouble cleaning her butthole well
So I tried getting a detachable shower head like you guys suggested and she asked why we needed one and why I'm wasting my money on unnecessary items
Then I said oh you know to clean placed we can't normally reach
Then she just went off on me
>try thumbs around grip on squat
>bending the bar the most awkward cue ever now
how do you guys do this
>>34931737
Poor mobility meant i was forcing it into an awkward position, and i was supporting the bar with my hands like a btn press which put a lot of stress on the bicep
>>34931725
You get stuck because of lack of strength, get stronger and the bar doesnt decelerate enough to stop
The lifts are full movements, not done in stages
>>34931756
She isn't gf material if I'm being honest. A woman's asshole belongs to the man and she needs to learn to clean it properly.
>>34931725
Nope, if you fail a lift that's it, you just failed, you didn't "get stuck" you just failed. You weren't strong enough on that day, or you weren't willing to grind out the rep, which is another problem that people with "sticking points" have since they are more likely to give up where they expect to fail rather than grind through it.
>>34931766
>and i was supporting the bar with my hands like a btn press which put a lot of stress on the bicep
sounds like that would hurt. should've tried Jonnie's new strategy
>>34931778
Well I mean I wouldn't even mind but the fact that she tells me to lick her butthole everytime we have sex has been problematic on account of the lack of hygiene..
>>34931766
>The lifts are full movements, not done in stages
You can separate the lifts to stages at arbitrary points, at some parts you'll be weaker than others. Whichever part you're weakest at is what'll cause you to fail your lift, wherever that is leads to a sticking point.
>>34931781
You fail at some part of the lift, that's literally it
>>34931718
>Its why all my reps look very similar
So does mine and I never focus on speed, unless it's explicit speed work.
>>34931803
>You fail at some part of the lift, that's literally it
But if you had more strength->speed->power, it wouldn't be a sticking point.
Ergo, get stronger nub.
>>34931803
Sheiko separates the deadlift to 6-8 stages when analyzing the lift for example
>>34931814
then your sticking point only shows at a higher weight
>>34931795
You let her order you around?

600 is hard but a lot of people should be able to achieve it given enough time training
700 you prolly need deadlift oriented leverages to be able to achieve in your lifetime
Just my opinion

Very hard.
