475 deadlift for reps
lads im really excited for this fucking pie but if I cut it too early it'll be too goopy to hold its shape
pls hold me
>>35079962
i get slightly rustled at how american your sumo is
strong pulling tho
>>35079923
Lads what should I do now that I am done SS?
I was thinking TM but I'm not sure
>>35079964
iktf
>>35080006
I hate TM I love Madcow 5x5
I'm also weak and give out poor advice
- your friendly neighbourhood dinosaur
>>35080006
TM is good, at least for a couple months until you figure out what other direction you might possibly want to go.
>>35080006
Dietmar or Sheiko. Anything that's not high frequency, high volume style training is a troll made by steroid users or retarded murrifats
>>35080062
>>35080074
Im confused. It seems like I either hear that TM is really good or that its shit and that it would be better to do something like what
>>35080074
Is saying.
>>35080086
TM is good, it gives fast progress. What it doesn't give is volume tolerance which you'll need long term, but you could just do TM and then move on to higher volume. Or go higher volume right away
>>35080074
Link Dietmar pogroms pls
>>35080086
It's not shit, it's the perfect advanced noob -> intermediate transition program. It needs some modification for bench and you should do more than just 1x5 deadlifts once a week but it's a good program.
If I pull Sumo for (3-day) TM on ID for a set of five, should I just do some 3x5 volume sumo DLs on VD?
I want something that will have good carryover to sumo diddly but Im not sure that something like SLDLs does?
>>35080124
how should I modify the bench?
when will this high volume meme die? lilliebridge does the big 3 ONCE a week and is stronger than everyone here, might be might not be on geart but either eway its true
>>35080124
No, they're state secrets.
>>35080138
Sounds fine. You could do deficits, paused, or just regular pulls from the floor at a lower RPE.
>>35080141
Start off with the 5x5 for VD, do something like Spoto or incline for 3x10 on RD, and do some (still heavy) back off sets on ID. When you start to stall, move to 6x5 VD. When you stall again, do 3x5 closegrip at the end of either your VD or ID session.
>>35079953
what's your ass routine boardie
>>35079993
Thanks, Last thread everyone was busting my balls about my lifts
>>35080174
>>35080206
You're the 500 pound squat guy...
>>35080174
Because a day of squatting 900+ far exceeds our (beginner, comparatively) maximum recoverable volume. He doesn't need to squat more than once a week because he won't be able to recover if he increased volume
>>35080197
Have ass x f
Honestly it's just what everybody else here does desu.
>>35080206
No one was busting your balls, you thought you were the shit for a 500 pound juiced squat at 237 w/ wraps
>>35080205
>>35080222
>>35080230
>when my satire falls flat
just wanted to post the sweater desu
>>35080206
Fresh off the boat, from /stg/, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on /plg/ by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking "strength training" friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't pray. You don't report. This ain't /fit/, kid. This is /plg/. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to /stg/, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place…. this place has a lot to offer… heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it…
>>35080230
>Because a day of squatting 900+ far exceeds our (beginner, comparatively) maximum recoverable volume. He doesn't need to squat more than once a week because he won't be able to recover if he increased volume
>>35080179
You gimme 'em right now.
How to determine foot angle in sumo?
>>35080273
No, I can't.
If I do I will just suddenly end up dead in a ditch in Finnmark one day. I may have said too much already.
>>35080268
What the hell does that even mean lol I'm a personal trainer what do you do for a living?
>>35080281
About 45 degrees, maybe a little more or less.
>>35080206
>post pr

>go on a defensive BUT I AM STRONG I SQUAT SO AND SO while not having elite lifts
/plg/ and sean shitposts
nothing personal, kid
>>35080290
Good job, this was a test.
>>35080303
>personal trainer for a living
Thats fucking pathetic and extremely low paying
I mean only boardshorts has a worst career here
>>35080305
Is this "optimal"?
I thought there were trade offs depending upon a wider or narrower angle that you should choose depending upon your morphology / flexibility / etc?
>>35080230
>Because a day of squatting 900+ far exceeds our (beginner, comparatively) maximum recoverable volume. He doesn't need to squat more than once a week because he won't be able to recover if he increased volume
My god
This isn't how lifting works you fucking weirdo
>>35080268
This looks like some Sam Hyde pasta
>>35080320
I'm his friend training partner and coworker we are both pts you can pick up mad pussy, I got chicks coming over daily
>>35080315
I will remain loyal to NSF until I draw my last breath, I won't crack under promise of material gain, threats or torture!
>>35080345
Jon you're in this one as well? Lol. Yeah, bitches love pts
>>35080350
Thank you strong lifts at 181 and 237 respectively
i wonder if /plg/ may actually return to its less shittier state now when shitposting is being cleaned up
>>35080385
5'10
>>35080356
How many Dietmar pictures do you have lad?
>>35080402
Yes, I was bringing up a good point as I want to go pro powerlifting and become animal sponsore athlete.
>>35080402
For now at least, it's better than the alternative
>>35080423
It's probably getting deleted because it's neither PL, nor lifting/health related.
How many Dietmar programmes are out there anyway?
>>35080402
Get some real friends to talk to about animal abuse, you autist.
Talk about lifting here.
Lads I'm stalling OHP on my 3rd week of Madcow 5x5.
I've added 7.5kg to my squat bench and deadlift but my OHP stalled
Should I do a set of 8 at the end of it like you do on Friday?
>>35080440
adding volume is generally a good idea to get past a stall, yeah
>>35080454
Huh, who would of guessed?
>>35080420
Not that many, I just do a search through norwegian sites whenever I need one to be perfectly honest.
This one is from the club him and CYC are at for example.
>>35080423
lmao, they deleted it!
>>35080462
not rippetoe
>>35080306
Absolutely not. I simply stated I was one of the stronger members on the board and I got torn apart.
>>35080436
how is that conducive to bettering the community YOU MUST TALK ABOUT LIFTING HERE IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE YOU HAVE TO GO TO /B/ AND TALK WITH 12 YEAR OLDS is literally the mods right now
>>35080476
You're not, id say your in the bottom 10% of weakest people here
>>35080476
http://powerliftinggeneral.com/
there are quite a few better lifters here, thus the backlash
>>35080478
best /plg/'s are mostly lifting discussion
marcel pls come back
>>35080487
A 500 squat at 237 is over two times bodyweight. Last thread you said that was weak.
>>35080437
There are 3 basic ones that are really only used for beginners, everyone uses something custom made by someone taught by Dietmar and based on his methods.
What does "match week" on Madcow mean?
See here:
https://www.madcow5x5.com
>>35080499
A) IS that with the use of PEDs?
B) Is that with knee wraps?
>>35080498
Don't come to plg for anything other than powerlifting discussion
Fuck off and never come back
>>35080495
Sure but I did my squat at 8% body fat.
>>35080520
and they did higher weighted squats without steroids at a lower bodyweight
>>35080520
body fat % is not relevant in PL
>>35080515
PEDs add 10% strength, knee wraps add maybe 10 pounds max
504 crew is taking over
>>35080535
Knee wraps can add more than 80lbs
Steroids contributed to 90% of your total
basically your one rep max would be 100lbs if you didnt use steroids or wraps
sorry bud but you're literally the weakest person here
Briefly squatposting before finishing my vacation :)
>>35080547
what the fuck happened there
>calls the mods fags
>gets banned
kek
Anyway...
What are your thoughts on high-frequency, auto-regulated types of training, /plg/? I hear of people just rolling into the gym and doing the same lift for a rep max five days per week and making solid gains pretty quickly, but I'm unsure of the sustainability of such a method.
Has anyone done this for extended periods of time (more than a couple of months)?
>>35080476
Again, you're 'okay' and on roids. Blow your 10% out of your ass, that figure is relevant at the very top end of the game where people worked for years to gain the size and strength they have, natty or otherwise.
>>35080478
You're a 12 year old tbf, and this board is for health and fitness discussion. You guys banted way to hard and this is the consequence.
>>35080545
This isn't true, I bench 400 raw as well I did that at 218 body weight accomplished in less than 17 years of lifting
>>35080560
bar on his neck, looks like
>>35080506
Should be where you hit your old PRs.
>>35080520
Completely irrelevant for about nine different reasons.
>>35080560
No preworkout, forgot sleeves, shitty bar with no knurling so slippery, safeties set too high. Basically a perfect storm of fuckup.
Episodes of Cube Method resume this week, was on vacation camping with gfs family. Resuming from beginning of week 5 :)
>>35080565
I have worked for over a decade on my lifts so it is relevant.
>>35080592
>No preworkout, forgot sleeves, shitty bar with no knurling so slippery, safeties set too high
dude you've squatted long enough to not let something that bad happen, pls stay safe
>gym schedual for sunday 11/29/15

WHAT THE FUCK REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THEY WERE CLOSED FOR 3 DAYS AND THIS IS WHAT I GET WHEN THEY COME BACK
>>35080607
>pinning steroids
>hard work

>>35080622
Oh.. you dont have a home gym?
>>35080622
>lifting on a Sunday
>>35080607
>I have worked for over a decade on my lifts so it is relevant.
making me feel better about my natty progress
>>35080630
I was supposed to lift thursday and friday
they were closed cause the ebin uni gym couldnt keep enough staff in town for thanksgiving
this is the first day back open and I want to get back on schedual and merge a squat day with a bench day but im not even sure if I should go
>>35080561
Marcel did for (I think) over a year. I did for about three months and liked it, made great squat gains and okay bench gains. Didn't really feel more or less beat up than normal.
>>35080591
After I did PL Competition. PL builds lean dense mass as opposed to water bloat.
>>35080647
Where are your abs tubsy?
>>35080646
Neat. I know it's autoregulated, so you can't really get super specific with it, but what did the programming look like? Did you have an overarching periodization to it?
>>35080638
And you shouldn't"5 feel better about it, steroids barely make a dif probably chunky just desu
>>35080607
So why aren't you Dan Green or Eric Lilliebridge? And let's say it is 10%. A 450 (high) squat at 237 is just 'decent' and not something to act like hot shit over. That's the reason people are jumping down your throat.
>>35080652
Water bloat I'm 5% here. Just lost a lot of mass.
>>35080661
>Did you have an overarching periodization to it?
Nope, and if I were to do it again I'd do it as another 3ish month block after a more hypertrophy/volume oriented phase. I did what pretty much all the Perryman/Nuckols stuff says: DM, one to three back off doubles or triples most days. The Nuckols point about improving your daily minimum rather than focusing on your daily max is something I kind of intuited on my own eventually but it's really the key to the whole thing.
Just threw up a bit for no reason to be honest lads
I wonder if something was up with that turkey shit
>>35080666
Because I haven't counted macros in a while just bought a house and have been busy with pt buisness it keeps writing desu and it's 500 not 450
>>35080694
Interdasting. I've read that ebook, too, and I was wondering if anyone had actually done it.
>the absolute madman
What did your accessory work look like? I'm guessing it was pretty minimal?
>>35080580
I saw a 145lbs junior lifter bench 365lbs just the other day in my gym, how the hell is 400@218 good after 17 years?
>>35080724
I'm talking about your "10%" friend.
>>35080750
>how the hell is 400@218 good
You're retarded.
400 is really hard to hit.
Most powerlifters will never get 400
>>35080731
Yeah, some curls, some hamstring curls, pullups, chest-supported rows, standard cuff stuff. Front squats once in a blue moon, deadlift singles twice a week usually. Almost always just comp squat and bench.
>>35080774
Your talking about me and the lift was 418 before I got injured I was only on 500 mg test plus ai when I hit lift
>>35080592
Bort you've been lifting far longer than me. That was more than not having knee sleeves or pwo or anything related to knurling. Seriously just look at that fucking knee travel at the start of it.
It doesn't have anything to do with what you just posted. You probably just zoned out and lost focus.
>>35080782
I suspect 400 is achievable in 3-6 years training
>>35080782
Most powerlifters aren't on roids and use knee wraps, kid. ;)
>>35080774
https://www.instagram.com/p/9yc6zjBzT4/
What lifts did you hit again? I can't remember lol
Are there any high frequency / highish volume programs for beginners. I hate lifting just 3 days a week and 3x5 is boring as fuck as well.
>>35080831
an easy way to settle this is to post your wilks. if your wilks as a roided, wrapped lifter is lower than a significant number of natural, raw lifters, then you aren't among the best lifters here.
>>35080774
Our crew trains hard as hell and tries to do the best we can, not use why we got attacked on the forums but whatever so be it. We will win Arnold's in 5 years so no worries. Haha
>>35080849
He's the 1212 at 181 guy.
>>35080849
1212 total 181. Was only juiced for 4 months before meet.
>>35080859
>speculating about shit five years from now
el oh el
>>35080869
That's not even a 370 wilks
>>35080869
so you have a 369wilks on roids. at least 26 people here have a higher wilks than you, raw, without roids.
>>35080877
Why can't you accept that 504 is full of freaks? We are all strong lifters here
>>35080885
I trained 10 years without steroids garret griffin trains in our gym
>>35080885
He just got BTFO
>>35080904
i've trained for 1 year, raw, younger, at a lower bodyweight, without steroids, and outtotal you (by .5lbs)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hprDNuPUIpE
>>35080909
We're aesthetic as well, tho and pts we know more about this then you which will help us in the long run
>>35080811
>I suspect 400 is achievable in 3-6 years training
you're heavier than 90% of powerlifters and you won't hit that without steroids no matter how long you train
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS PIE IS GOOD SENPAI

Lel, I was about to mention Joff's lifts
>>35080921
Ah, I get it. They're not even trying anymore lads, it's over.
>>35080916
I'm not sure what you want me to say, I'm going to be sponsored by animal long after you quit this game kid, that's all there is to it which is why I started b+c
>>35080959
i want you to say that you aren't very strong, that's all. you're a very mediocre lifter despite steroids. you decided to cheat your way to a meager total. that's all.
and yes, no doubt you will since i'm only going to be powerlifting for a couple more years. goodluck with animal.
>>35080957
Do you know garret griffin? I do work where he trains, kid
>>35080647
lmao you call that stage ready? powerlifters walk around more shredded than you
>>35080969
I am strong, though. I'm a beast maybe not hthe best yet but I'm working on it.
>>35080959
>I'm going to be sponsored by animal
Just like you're going to win the Arnold's?
>>35080987

Roiding is cheating.
Teenage naive insecure whiners.
>>35080932
You don't think I can put 65lbs on my bench ever?
Also, somewhat related- wingspan is 6'8", which means my deadlift should be gloriouser than it is
>>35081383
>You don't think I can put 65lbs on my bench ever?
He said without steroids.
>>35081243
what you gonna do about you disney ass bitch boy
What do the warmups look like in Sheiko? I use Android, so I can't get the app.
>>35081697
Most just do their own warmups
You can get the sheiko app on android
The spreedsheets are free, and sows the warmups
here's an example, reps x sets
50% 5 1
60% 4 2
70% 3 2
Apparently Sheiko said you can just do on set instead of the double warmup sets
>>35081697
A) yes you can
B) 50x5 60x4 70x3 work sets (roughly)

Fake trip and then you forget to turn it off to same fag
is this a good lift?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7iz1BTIiuM
I'm leaning toward no. What should I do different?
Have more time at the gym in the next few weeks, finally. It's gone up from 1hr to 1.5hr (including changing, stretching, etc).
Now I can do 3x/wk frequency on all lifts.
>disgonbgud
Anyone else excited for their training in upcoming weeks?
>>35082112
>Anyone else excited for their training in upcoming weeks?
You have no fucking clue lad. After a week off my mouth is practically frothing. I have tomorrow off from work, but I may just wake up early so I can get into the gym ASAP.
>>35082234
do it unless you absolutely cannot stand to lose 20lbs on your deadlift for a month
>>35082112
my skills test is 2 weeks from tomorrow and I am fucking hype
>>35081983
Lockout was a little soft. Don't think I'd white light it.

You're not a ref?
>>35082343

:^)
>>35082343
Nope. Just tellin' the lad what I see.
I will say, lad, I haven't competed, so my credentials aren't there, but I think most would agree that your shoulders weren't back, and your knees were soft. Focus on getting those shoulders back and activating the glutes during lockout.
>>35082365

>>35082359
>>35082384
how hard are the accessory lifts supposed to be in sheiko?
>>35082390
also, I need to add a week in somewhere because the program ends a week before the meet I'm doing. any advice on where to add in a week and what to do for that week?
I'm thinking of where the program says the meet is at the end, hit my openers, then take a deload week in between the program and the meet I'm doing.

Hail to your new king, PLG.
>>35082416
What was your squat again, Sheiko Boy?
Cyber Monday in the house. Anyway, best knee wraps? I want to add like at least 50 pounds to my max.
>>35082461
Knee WRAPS ONLY ADD ABOUT 10 pounds to your lifts.
>>35082461
Didn't mean to caps lock.
>>35082459
you cant trol me
>>35082466
I said wraps not sleeves.

I'm 237 pounds and you made fun of my lift. And my friend's 1212 total at 181.
>>35082583
I didnt say anything, you have me confused with someone else
Started benching daily, and not just squatting daily.
Hit 90% of bench 1rm for 4, that was cool. Gonna up volume on both soon because I'm keeping my head above water as is, and I'm gonna be able to eat better and sleep more now.
>>35082618

Grats, man. How long since you upped the bench frequency?

Over 3 years can be 5 years
>>35082620
I squat and bench daily too. No regrets. I started almost exactly a year ago.
Squat 385-> 515
Bench 245-> 365
DL 515-> 515
>xD
are the extra volume squat sets obligatory or just optional on c6w?
>>35082641
About a week, did 3-4 beforehand so its been an easy transition honestly.
>>35082651
Thanks bb
>>35082682
In Sheiko theyre obligatory
>>35082682
Obligatory
Put your big boy pants on, those sets are rough

That's what I'm afraid of is lack of deadlift progress.
I might add in like a set of GHRs daily and aim for long term hamstring strength improvements.
>>35082699
>Put your big boy pants on, those sets are rough
Sounds like the BBB sets on the 1+ days.
>>35082739
wow you were really johnny on the spot with that screenshot. almost ran out of time
>>35082745
Lots of people are able to see deadlift advancement through squat carryover. Try deadlifting once a week, but it;s all you need if you're squatting 3-4 times a week.

Hit a new deadlift PR today bruhs. Carried on to do 3x10 front squats and had to can the rest of my workout. Feelin' spewy.

Second this. They're harsh.

Grats, holmes. How much of a PR was it?

GJ lad. I always wondered as to the wisdom of following up a heavy single in programming with volume work. For example, if I can push hard on a 1+ day on 5/3/1 and get it for a triple, those BBB sets after are almost insurmountable.
>>35083039
Cheers. +10kg. Went from 180 to 190, at 75kg. Not grand, but I'm happy with it having only been lifting a year.
>PT said I had good form.
Am I making it?

>I always wondered as to the wisdom of following up a heavy single in programming with volume work.
You know what Jim would say :)
>>35083055
Thanks, man. I'm following a conjugate template a la Massthetics. Hit the single, then 3x5@80%, then some volume work. Seems to be working thus far.
>those BBB sets after are almost insurmountable.
Similar sort of this going on with what I'm doing. Decided to skip them today in favour of not losing my guts.
>>35083082
I do. That's why I sack up and do em anyway.
>>35083063
>Am I making it?
Yes, friend.

Being noticed by the PT's is good stuff. Regardless of what you think of THEM, it's nice to be on good terms with the staff.
>>35083113
When the PT's heard I was gona start competing they all started spilling their spaghetti at me.
It was weird and nice.
>>35083178
>When the PT's heard I was gona start competing they all started spilling their spaghetti at me.
That's awesome.
After a couple years of lifting heavy and often, I became good friends with the PT's.
I got them interested in powerlifting, and now a bunch of them compete with me at local meets.
Cap'n, I bet you make your gym cozy like you make it cozy in here.
You are a good man.
>>35083192
Friend, that means a lot.
I just want us all to feel listened to, ya know?
Even you Sean. When you're ready to stop fucking around, I'll listen to you.
>>35083107
>Yes, friend
Cheers, brah
>>35083113
Yeah, all the PTs at my gym seem to know what's up. It's funny looking at the PT hate stuff on here because I've never seen any of it happening.
Am i the only one who prefers the bloated look over the ripped one?
Panzer?
>>35083113
My gym pt's hates me cuz im not a normie. I know they're just scared i might hurt myself and sue them or the gym but come on, all i want is to lift heavy shit
>>35083229
>PT hate stuff
Eh, from a powerlifting and strength perspective, the PTs at my gym are just awful. But I think a lot of the kids on /fit/ get really tied up in their own goals (getting shredded, getting /plg/ strong) and don't empathize with the fact that these PTs are mostly there to help the forty year old woman who is coming into the gym for the first time, or the thirteen year old boy who just wants to curl forever, or the yoga mom who wants to impress her friends at the next wine dinner.
We all have our own goals in life and in fitness, so I try to never look down on the PTs; they just can't really help me.
Remember kids, always treat everyone in your gym with kindness and respect.
Unless they're doing stupid bullshit in the powercage, then give them the whats up.
>>35083192
I'm friends with a lot of the staff at my university gym. Its nice, we talk about lifting, idiots we see, and have some pretty good banter. They all actually lift and aren't clueless dweebs. I think one of the grills wants my peen. I think she oly lifts.
>>35083268
>kids don't empathise with the PTs
I hear that.
>Their clients have different needs and goals than me, and they're training them according to that
> =
>They're not doing what I wanna do, so they suck
Resident PT at my gym is a PL coach, so I'm just lucky, I guess?
>>35083311
>I think she oly lifts.
Serious weakness. Once working out in a gym in Vancouver this petit thing in oly shoes walked up to me and asked how much longer I was gonna be in the cage
>For you? I'm on my last set
>>35083382
Very lucky. I'm just out here in the bush, flailing around and occasionally getting help here from you lot.
I'd love a coach. And an RMT.
>>35083404

Same boat, man.

Brandon?
I hurt my lower back today. It doesn't seem too bad (no pain when I'm sitting, standing, etc), but if I do something like go through the motions of a deadlift without any weight, I feel lower back pain.
I'm pretty sure what did it was barbell rows. I think my arch is excessive. I also didn't do any other exercises today that would stress the lower back.
I'm gonna work on correcting my barbell row form next time I do it, but for now, is there anything I can do to help recovery?
>>35083607
Pray to the lumbar gods that you don't need to take a week off like I did?
>>35083260
>My gym pt's hates me cuz im not a normie
Yeah, you gotta remember their primary demographic is old women. (if a chain gym).
If they don't keep their demographic happy, then they don't get to put food on the table.
Powerlifter problems :)
>>35083268
>Remember kids, always treat everyone in your gym with kindness and respect.
THIS.
If you do this, you'd be surprised how many allies you'll make. Otherwise, powerlifters can seem very stand-off-ish.

Not Sheiko...
Not IPF masterrace...
Sean.
Sean is our meme.
He IS a meme.
A meme boy, that we all laugh at and pity.
Like Millhouse.
>>35083651
Yes, is the reactive the one with the least tension? I want just a little something
>>35083668
Sean is pretty respected around here.. no one really laughs or pities him

"The main difference between The Reactive Sling Shot (Blue) and the Original (red) /Maddog (black) is that the Reactive Sling Shot is more pliable, flexible, comfortable and a little easier to put on"
>>35083676
Blue < Red = Yellow < Black
>>35083683

>>35083738
The angle of the sleeve is the only difference between the two.
>>35083759
"testing has shown it to be a slightly stronger than the Original Sling Shot"
and becase of the angle, " allow the Sling Shot to engage faster as you lower the weight"
>>35083765
They have to say something to try to get people who already have the original to get the yellow one, don't they?
