Welcome to /plg/ powerlifting general
home of shitty moderators who delete everything to purposefully destroy any sense of comradery or community that this bleak general has inorder to purposfully divide the population of this general just like the judeobolshevist agenda does with modern europe and ipf approved lifts
the latter not so much but post them anyways

1nd for why is there no 3-day intermediate routine with more than 1 week cycle that doesn't have incredibly slow progression.
>>35093042
>I've used the other three, so if you've got questions on those I can actually give some input.
If you don't see the point of a reactive, what about the regular (red)? I don't want so much tension that it'll change the feel of my bench
>>35093131
>3-day
>intermediate
>>35093131
Because a weekly cycle works pretty well?
>>35093131
Early intermediate Sheiko doesn't have slow progression, just somewhat infrequent max testing

>>35093131
>that doesn't have incredibly slow progression
Why do people feel the need to imply that adding weight is THE ONLY metric of progression?

>>35093262
It isn't that big a deal, I think going for rep or volume PRs makes a lot more sense and is far more sustainable. Just push a maximal set of 2-5 every few weeks.
>>35093267

>>35093280

>>35093131
Texas Method can easily be made into a two-three week setup.
And really, even 1lb a week is fast as fuck. That gets you 156lb on your total per year.

I haven't actually done this, but I imagine that skipping the first RD in favor of more deadlift work would be prudent, something like
mon1
>sq/bp 5x5
wed1
>deadlift volume, bench accessory and/or press
fri1
>sq/bp 5x3, heavier than mon1
mon2
>sq/bp 5x5, heavier (maybe) than mon1
wed2
>light dl, sq accessory and bp accessory?
fri2
>pr sets of 3-5 on main lifts
>>35093384
Lascek suggested something like
mon1: 5x5
fri1: 3x5
mon2: 3x3
fri2: 3rm
and a deload week and repeat
>>35093422

How about:
mon1: 6x5 70%
fri1: 4x6 77%
mon2 : 4x3 85%
fri2: 1xamrap 90%
adjust max according to amrap reps and repeat
>>35093186
What fucking elephant-grade steroids is he on
>>35093422
Could you possibly do this without the (so frequent) deload by doing a 4-day split? Maybe
Mon+Tue 3x5
Thu+Fri 3x5
Mon+Tue 3x3 (if the 3x5 is 80 this would ~85%, right?)
Thu+Fri 3RM (or maybe do some AMRAP and advance accordingly)
Could be interesting if accessories are kept down on the volume/intensity.
>>35093526
Idk man, just repeating what I wrote. Came up with this >>35093504 myself. Tbh it all looks good on paper, but you actually have to risk and try testing it, then tweaking it. Maybe we could milk some more semi-linear gains this way. Or maybe it's a total disaster and we should just do sheiko at that point.
To all you jamokes speculating about a two or possibly three week TM, here's how you do it: ID is just 5/3/1, and VD is 5x5@80% of your training max. You're welcome.
Obviously adjust for dead and bench, and skip the deloads.
>>35093520
I'd be surprised if it was even half as much as dan green or tomatobridge t b h
>>35093572
Wrong
>>35093565
Seems as valid as any of these solutions desu. No need to bully.
thoughts on using heavy pulling work to replace squats? Cutting my squat sessions down to twice a week, one back (volume) one front (intensity)
this is more general training specific but still applies to trying to get a better squat, albeit without hurting muh knees. Obv I'd be trying to pull with more upright torso to maximize quads engagement
>>35093649
Is low bar not an option?
>>35093659
still tends to put more stress on the knees than I'd like, so let's say it isn't for now
>>35093649
Idk, maybe with a trap bar and/or really short legs this makes sense
>>35093649
Instead of always trying to rehab and prehab, simply solve knee pain at the root of the problem, i.e start squatting properly with good form
>>35093384
if you can do that much volume then you were not ready to hop on tm.
>>35093565
>>35093601
And what do you lads think about deadlift frequency/volume? I was doing 2x5 on LVD and then a 3RM on LID. Maybe I could keep it as is in the two week layout?
>>35093666
How much do you point your toes out when you squat? Sometimes I use squats with toes out more for a while if my knees hurt. Requires a more upright back and reduces the moment on the knees. Reduces the pain so much but is kinda awkward to begin with.

Just let your quads wither away. Is there a healthy end to your story or are you permanently fucked?
>>35093837
Insinuating that you reported me is also a bannable offence, to which I may or may not have done myself with this post ;)
>>35093831
weirdly front squats usually feel aight. Back squatting just kills me
I don't really know why my knees are so shitty, I have a feeling I have some kind of issue with rec fem and it's never really been solved
>>35093847
>Insinuating that you reported me is also a bannable offence
incorrect sean
>>35093837
I never understood the idea behind that rule desu.
>>35093797
SGDLs? Kind of throwing something at the wall but good for core/back tension.
>>35093849
What kind of rehab work do you do?
I don't want to sound all voodoo practitioner, snakeoil salesperson, but after four years of playing Rugby for three different squads, my knees were just fucked. One month of a 30 day Bikram yoga "challenge" completely cured them.
>>35093862
I'd imagine so its to prevent the whole you know MODS MODS MODS thing or things like that, that /b/ loves
I don't know much about TRT, so I'm hoping you guys can answer some basic questions for me.
Is taking TRT (the patch or gel or whatever they're using now) effectively the same as just pinning test? Or is it something else?
Is it possible to fix naturally low testosterone production using TRT, or is it just something you have to keep taking forever?
>>35093790
because you dont compete
>>35093113
>whats the mad dog like
>not that i would ever actually use that one tho
Fun. Significantly stronger than the full boar. It can alter your bar path and pull you out of position though, particularly if you're not going that heavy with it.
>>35093140
I much prefer the full boar to the original. It's the easiest of the three for me to use. Besides the assistance, my bench is pretty much unchanged from raw to the yellow, where as the red and black change things slightly.
>>35093828
if you can do
>sq 5x5
2 days later
>dl 3x5 or whatever you do
2 days later
>sq 5x3 heavier
3 days later
>sq 5x5 heavier
then youre not 'strong enough' that 5x5 or 5x3 is a significant stresser, which is when TM wouldve been useful
you're better off doing the SS advanced layouts if you find the standard TM template too easy
>>35093884
It's the same thing, but needles would work better. And no, you're not going to reboot your test production via TRT.
>>35093884
You should probably try /fraud/, friend.
>>35093875
yep already do those, but I'm gonna increase volume to 3x/week instead of 1x/week
>>35093876
I mean, I'm the first person to advocate mobility work, but the amount I have to do to make the pain stop is huge. I figure finding squat alternatives combined with mobility may solve more of my problems
Basically my knee issues stem from a neuromuscular tightening response to an old injury, so key parts of the knee are always tight. Usually rectus femoris, vmo, and ITB. Normally I mobilize but when they tighten up all the time there's not much I can do
>>35093801
what is this? homework club?
get the fuck out
>>35093910
where is norse when you need him desu
>>35093849
I think a combination of lots of abductor work and a few months of purely light squatting once a week, and then twice a week after about 6-7 weeks, is what fixed my issues.
I think the abductor work was very helpful though.
>>35093910
also go the fuck away sean
>>35093916
Go to /nerd/ you fucking... Nerd.
>>35093918
what kind of stuff? external hip rotation (bad girl machine)?
>>35093907
Consider the shill of Bikram. Just consider it.
Also Cortisone shots are a possible solution.
>>35093905
Ok, thanks. I was just wondering, because steroids are treated just like hard drugs (e.g. heroin and meth) here, yet doctors regularly prescribe TRT as a catchall for middle-aged men feeling bad.
Murica is a strange place.
>>35093906
Hmm, good point. They'd probably know more. My needs were pretty simple though ("is it just a shitty alternative to pinning"), and I'd rather avoid going to /fraud/ if I can.
>>35093945
>I'd rather avoid going to /fraud/ if I can.
They're pretty good lads.
>>35093941
fuck injections, but I'll look at Bikram or some other yoga alternative on a more regular basis
>>35093849
post vid?
suspect knees could be pushed out more out of the whole?
is it unilateral or bilateral knee pain, if former leg lengths differ or hip flexibility asymmetry?
>>35093899
You do realize that Sheiko has you doing more volume than that, especially in his advanced routines - programs designed FOR stronger lifters - right?
>>35093964
>fuck injections
You're going to need to back up this emotional response with some damned good logic, for my own curiosity of course.
>>35093916
you and sean pissed him off that much hes gone
>>35093899
That is completely untrue though.
Also, we are talking about a situation where weekly progression on TM becomes impossible, so we need to increase volume, lower the intensity and test PRs less frequently.
>>35093936
Clamshells yeah. But also banded pause squats (just bodyweight) where I would hold for 10-20 seconds at the bottom.
I also did that thing where you stand and put a band around your ankle that's wrapped around something sturdy, keep your leg straight, and and do abductions for sets of 20-30 a few times a week. This was probably the one I used most frequently.
One that I liked but didn't do too often was similar to the above exercise in setup. I'd wrap it around something sturdy, and then pull it up to where it was above my knee, and then I'd do step-ups onto a box that simulated parallel. You set up so that the band tries to pull your knee inward.
>>35093945
Cute little workaround, huh?
>>35093967
don't have any vids, but the knee pain is generally bilateral, and generally happens because in order to achieve a good upright position, I need to push the knees forward, which puts a lot of stress on the patellar tendon. I have found a way to squat with a more knees-out style like Torokhtiy, but I can barely squat 60% like that. Feels weak
>>35093979
I just don't like superficial cures, of which cortisol injections are one
>>35094001
I'll give that stuff a shot, yeah. I am thinking of buying a band anyway.
I guess I've always had a big ass and just assume that any more abductor work would just make it bigger so I avoid it
>>35094022
>superficial cures
I don't really consider inflammation reduction to be superficial. But cool. Check out a Bikram session. You may really like it.
>>35093981
>ive said anything ever to norse
lol sean you're not convincing anyone
>>35094038
what I mean is that you're not addressing the underlying issue. Why bother with injections when rest will do the same thing albeit slower?
>>35094022

>>35093970

sheiko is high volume/low percentage to garner accumulated fatigue. its not comparable to someone running TM

You haven't said shit to me in this thread and you still piss me off. Just stop tripping, why do we benefit from your having a trip?
Just bought a red memeshot and i'm currently running Greg Knockel's bench program. I'm not sure how much weight the slingshot will add and where I should add it in, since i'm already benching 5 days a week. I was thinking about taking the 85% day where I would normally do 3 singles and either make it 85% of my slingshot max or just do more reps at 85% of my raw max. I was also thinking of doing a fairly heavy single with the slingshot after my normal bench training every training day. Any recomendations?
>>35094067
go away sean
>>35094054
>not doing highbar
what are you some kind of faggot
>>35094052
Gotcha. I've always considered them a last ditch. We can also try pin firing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_firing
>>35094074
Just hit some heavy singles on the 85% day. Or shelve it while you run this program.
>>35094060
>low percentage
it regularly has you doing lots of triples and doubles with 80-85% of a competition max, that is not at all low
>>35094014
Not really. Kind of insulting, actually.
>>35094108
>sterons like testosterone are bad and dangerous

kek just go and do your 5x5 every day if you're not gonna come up with a better argument
>>35094074
>I'm not sure how much weight the slingshot will add
Only one way to find out.
I'm not familiar with said program, so I can't help you out on how to implement it in that set up specifically. For what it's worth, I primarily use mine for heavy volume and only do singles with it every once in a blue moon for shits and giggles.
>>35094078
Weirdly enough, pin firing actually kinda works for elbow tendonitis. Pin firing (burning the horses fucking leg) causes a shitload of stress to the area such that the body's response is much greater and sometimes fixes the underlying cause.
People have had success doing a shitload of chins and presses, and their elbows get more and more pissed off until eventually they actually start feeling much better and it gets rid of the tendonitis that was there before.
And I'm with Caladan, I'd never let anyone stick me with a cortisone shot, it's just a bandaid that's actually weakening the joint in the long term.

could your decent be more controlled? do you rely on a fast rebound out the hole? pushing knees out should not take a 40% hair cut off the squat... sounds like you know what your taking about so i will take at face value... you should post a vid though, never know, might save your knees some!
>>35094192
yeah I'll think about it in the future. I'm 99% sure it's just tightness but it feels incurable, I work on it every day and it never goes away. Quads in particular.

Take a look at 5/3/1 boring but big, lad.
>>35094953
Try Connor Lutz's program maybe? Four days of benching a week, none of it 'easy'. If you want to do daily maxing you're not going to have much room to shoehorn conjugate into that.

Read Wendler's "Beyond 5/3/1".

Watching someone who knows what they are doing bench makes me feel better about mine; I think mine (form-wise) is better than I thought.
As for bulking, I've gained about 30-35 lbs since start of semester I think.
Probably gonna lose 5-10 when I go home for winter break but then I can start bulking again when I get back to school and have all you can eat meals.
Start cardio tommorow lads.

>>35096431
Wsg. I just wanted you to see that so I could go to sleep.
Also I can't wait till our test days line up and I can further smash your twink lifts.
>>35096468
still literally deadlift more than you despite being what like 40lbs lighter
soon
>>35096440
Dude using bench directly behind. Gets awkward when there's spotters in the gap for both benchers at once.
>cant sleep because skills test tomorrow
Benched 225x8x3. Gonna max out next week. What should be my goal?
>>35096719
To do your best.
>>35096719

>>35096719

>>35096719
More than the last time you maxed out.
>>35094919
I have gone away from doing sumo since it kinda fucked up my hips. I stll dont know what i did wrong and id like to give it a try again since I actually liked it way more than conventional.
>>35097005
I get the feeling your conventional will fuck your back more than sumo could fuck your hips desu joefam
>>35096796
>>35096822
>>35096996

I finally benched 315 for a single today
what should I bench next week? Should I go light or heavy?
>>35097076
Friend, you shouldn't need us to do your programming for you.
>>35097106
Same goes for you.
I'm fuckin jelly though, I want that 315 so bad.
>>35097135

>>35097267

>>35097403
thanks m8, ill use that song when I try and bench 300 next week
>stuck at a 65kg bench 3 reps for weeks now
Is volume the key? Just 60 kg and do 8 sets?
>>35097685
Volume helps, but not nearly so much as food and technique improvement.
Lads it turns out i've been dling wrong (hips were rising up and pretty much using loadsa of my legs).
I managed to correct my form yesterday (Watched Andy bolton tips on DL and few others) however my middle back is literally the worst sort of DOMS I can't even do the slightest movement is this normal or did I just go to snap city?
>>35097698
I already eat 500+, but when I try to arch I feels akward and when pushing the bar 9 out 10 times my shoulder blades get pulled forward. Can't get tightness in my legs either when I draw them back. Laying with a flat back feels alot better.
Also hear people saying core work does wonders
>>35097698
This, I never even used to use my legs before but with eating like a pig I managed to go up to 110 x5 from 80x5
>>35097446
WHY ARE YOU GOING TO BENCH LESS??
>>35097751
How much are you gaining a week?
I would recommend you reading this it honestly helped me shitloads with my bench.

>>35097751
You just godda learn to arch.
I am the most inflexible fuck and I manage to arch properly.
>>35097751
Core work is going to do jack shit for someone who benches a plate and change.
Your technique sucks. Fix that. You don't have to tuck your legs back and make a huge arch, but retracted shoulderblades, solid food placement and some level of arching is not optional. Get used to it being uncomfortable, because heavy benching is every bit as strenuous as heavy squatting or deadlifting.
>>35097685
Just get a spotter and try 70 on your last set,
then stabilize reps

>tfw i havent been able to post in over a month

>tfw had to break program because of no sleep and no eat
winter break cannot come soon enough lads. architecture is a bullshit major.
on a lighter note, pulled 600 off blocks today for a PR

haruhilad?
marcel?
timetoshine?
>>35097744
i'm inclined to think that you'd know if you went to snap city. probably just doms, not sure why though. raising your hips makes the lift a more lower back dominant exercise so fixing that you'd think you'd feel it less on your back
Been a while, is joshposting still a thing here ?
>>35098228
#teamorange
If i feel pain/soreness only on the right side of my lower back while squatting does this mean that thr weight is unevenly distributed? How do i fix this? With an uneven grip width?
>>35098228
Always
>>35098492
No it's actually dead
I don't think you should be posting either desu what would the tripfags who have you on a cUckleash say?

Properly back from vacation, dietary protocol resumed, Cube Method resumed from where I left off with the beginning of week 5.
Squats were much less scary than that horrifying display a week ago, kek.
