What??
Sure you guys can squat your heavy weights but can you do the "I really like you squat challenge". I didn't think so, losers.

To the nice anon wondering about the belt thing, it's because I feel I can maintain a tighter arch with it while benching.

You haven't seen my autism until you've witnessed me pouring over the footage frame by frame looking for the exact moment of bar movement change, or moment of impact, just so I can put the sound effect in at that exact frame.
Thankfully, I get a kick out of the end result, so it's well worth it to me.
>>35104098
Whats up with the 1/3 deadlift ROM??
Am I missing something here?
Sumo and 1/3 ROM?? What the hells the point of this?
It's basically a 1/3 ROM leg press with a weird jerk at the end

left plg for about 6 months lads, what's been happening, are all the old trips still here isley, bodorio, boardshorts etc. It seems pretty empty atm?
>>35104109
Ha! I was going to ask about the effects. If it's any consolation I appreciated their timing
>>35104140
It's worse.
>>35104109

Grats, upvoted.

>>35104198

I really dislike the idea of going up with your lifts/wilks. 93 seems like a stretch already.
>>35104147
Because while lifting I listen to music that is copyrighted and/or belongs to people that you should give money to for said music

He's equipped westside now. He's gotta getta get on that bulk if he wants a bencher's chest.
He'll be SHW in a couple of years.
>>35104064
What height should the deadlift from boxes be done from?
I used 10cm since I saw Boris quote that number on the Sheiko forums somewhere.
Failed a 105% bench and just tore a callous on 60% deadlift...

Dunno about that m8, still need to see how I handle heavier weights.
>>35104371
Will need to start adding some high (healthy) fat food when I'll stop cutting, I can't eat too many carbs so I don't have many options except sneaking some olive oil here and there
>>35104510

fuck you sheiko, youre my bitch now
>>35104794
Congrats dude 200 is a nice milestone
>>35104790
>icing fingers
lmao, RICE is the biggest tumor on the sport science field.
You want as much blood as possible to get to the joint, and in fact inflaming it is even better. Ice's only benefit is when swelling is TOO MUCH and for PAIN.
so unless the swelling is bad, ice is for pussies,.
Even moreso, you get more IGF-1, GH and those helpful little cells whose job it is to repair in there much quicker. Stop icing your hand. Stretch it, massage it, put heat on it, just not immediately after a workout
Report back.
Only using a trip for accountability on my claim so when it does or doesnt work you can call me out on it.
For anyone that was following my attempt at the Smolov Base Mesocycle, here is my 'test' day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxqp3U9ctYw
Decided to work up to my second attempt 6 days out from the meet.
Got 540 lbs comfortably (in wraps, lolfed).
Hoping for 570 at the meet on Saturday.
>Review of Smolov Base Meso
Sucked oodles of ass. I would LOVE to run the full 13 weeks, but recovery needs to be on point.
Also, if you don't LOVE lifting, it will mess your brain up.
I made the mistake of trying it right as my son was born. This was stupid :) Sleep wasn't there to recover at my best.
If you love to test your limits, it's an awesome challenge.
I ended up with decent improvements, improved confidence, and an annoying adductor strain (still dealing with it currently).
I ALSO ran Smolov Jr. for bench with a strained pec. No idea where I'm at on that currently, hopefully 365 ish.
I actually found myself missing Deadlift, which was weird. I hate deadlift, but started to really long for it. You CANNOT DL much of anything on Smolov. Too much strain.
Squatting and Benching heavily together puts a lot of strain on your shoulder girdle. Watch your prehab.
In conclusion, I'm going back to daily squatting and autoregulation... but this was fun :)

Could you personally post a video of your own squats for me to compare against? I would appreciate the help :[
>>35104946
>Can you post your ARSE template?
Sure.
After running the attached template for a month or so, I spend a month just setting rep PR's literally every day. 1-10 rep PR's on most everything, no back-off volume.
After that runs it's course, I go back to the template again to build volume. Also, I sometimes substitute variations for the main lifts.
Have fun :)... oops, serious face :[
>>35104874
Love it
Good luck on your meet! How much with the adductor strain affect training?
>>35104990
>Good luck on your meet! How much with the adductor strain affect training?
Thanks, friend.
The strain is just annoying more than anything. It screws my form up until I'm over 75% and properly warmed up.
I will tend to it after the meet. For now, it's manageable.
>>35104874
You weighted knee bended 540lbs in wraps, you didn't squat it however

Are you hoping to have maintained or gained in DL without having done it much?
Is 350lbs lean mass at 6'10" doable natty? Asking for a friend.
>>35105020

It can be a really fun way to train. Just make sure that you pay more attention to improving your daily minimum than your daily maximum.
There is tons of good literature out there now. Especially Nuckols.

Thanks friend :)
I bet DL is about the same for me. Hopefully around 600 again. If my squat was less developed, I probably would have seen more DL improvement.
Not sure why, but I just went on a two hour hike before training deadlifts after a week off.

You already know how shit that child's going to turn out
I'm sure there are some how to squat tutorials on the Dropbox, I suggest you watch those if you're curious about depth
Until then you're ego squatting (another thing a child would do)

Is 5/3/1 a good routine for an intermediate? I was thinking about doing either that or Candito's 6 week program.
>>35105876
your outlifted by at least 2 guys and probably out wilks by a few others.
>>35106168
Natty and raw?
>>35106147
Pros:
- low volume (good if you are adding lifting to other stuff like sports or a very physical job)
- simple base, easy to modify
- works okay
Cons:
- low volume (bad if you don't need to recover for other stuff)
- low frequency (once per week is generally considered not enough)
- base template isn't really good enough; relies heavily on modifications
TL;DR: it'll do, if you're willing to tweak it.
I think Candito's is better-regarded here, but I can't speak on it, since I haven't tried it.
>>35106147
I feel 5/3/1 is what you make it. If you start at 90% of your 1RM, then you won't be pushing new numbers until after approximately three months - keep this in mind.
Once you become familiar with the program, feel free to customize by adding accessory work and more days if you feel up to it. The template is relatively generic, but I think that the main four day / four week cycle with a 5x10 @ 50% 1RM is a good foundation to add other variations and accessories to.
But I'm a n00b so your mileage may vary. I'm on cycle eight.
wew
So during today's squats for whatever reason I flawed my elbows on the concentric and everything just felt great - tighter, faster etc.
A bit like armeme-ian strength does:
https://www.instagram.com/p/-Z-_qkJUY6/?taken-by=armenian_strength
Does anyone know why it felt so good? Not sure if I found this 'one weird trick' or if it was just placebo, or if it's a shit cue and I should stop it.
>wasn't sure I could add ten pounds to front squats yesterday and still make the three reps I wanted
>added five pounds instead, then got four reps anyway
>easily added the ten pounds to double pause deadlifts today
>got an extra rep on z press (four instead of three again)

>There were believed to be three stages that one went through for elite performance in a sport. (Really, I should have an exclamation point after "sport," because that's the point most people miss: If you aren't doing this for a sport, usually an individual sport that's part of the Olympics, none of this stuff is going to be important, but follow along, please).
>The stages were:
>1. General Physical Preparation (GPP)
>2. Specialized Physical Preparation (SPP)
>3. Competitive Period
>If you were born after 1964, none of this has been utilized in your lifetime. So while many trainers embrace these three steps as set in stone, and it certainly has great value even if I'm probably too critical, elite athletes have moved to far more specialization.
The lads thoughts? Is GPP not a real thing? Seems like a kind of meaningless concept tbqh.
>>35106437
>The lads thoughts? Is GPP not a real thing? Seems like a kind of meaningless concept tbqh.
Well, both the russian and chinese weightlifters do a lot of "GPP" work such as team sports, cardiovascular activities like swimming, jogging, etc and plenty of exercises you could lump into GPP.
SPP is alive and well.
Sheiko has novice and intermediates playing sports and doing lots of GPP and even more advanced athletes are recommended to have planned time off, during which they focus on GPP and/or rest

Stretch, and stop arching your back so hard. If you brace your abs hard and lock your lats in, you'll get all the arch you need out of "big chest." Go watch the Duffin squat video if you don't know what I'm talking about with the abs and lats. Yes the whole thing, yes all 30 minutes of it.
Seeing it referenced above, has anybody actually run the Dan John 40 day program? Thinking of giving it a go instead of TM for a while.
>>35106910
ok thanks, im watching it now.
>>35106434
Ok, back. I'm pretty tired, so I'm pretty much just going to spew the whole thing out and hope it makes sense.
Max Effort: 1-4 rep max, 4*N total backoff reps at 80% of that max (e.g. 3RM@200, then 2x6@160). I started with 3*N, but it wasn't enough.
Dynamic Effort: 1-3 rep sets, starting at 50%, adding ~5% each set, continuing until reps are slow.
In the past couple of months, I've been organizing it in a bodypart split (max effort deadlift Monday, bench Tuesday, squat Wednesday, and press Thursday, then dynamic effort split between Saturday and Sunday). Accessory movements for each lift on the day I do that lift.
My schedule is kind of shitty and unpredictable, so I didn't have a lot of time in each session and had to organize it like that. I was also missing a lot of sessions over the past couple of months... Car accident, wedding, family stuff.
This cycle, I'm trying out doing the backoff sets on a separate day (so ME for all four lifts over Monday and Tuesday, then the backoff sets Wednesday and Thursday, then the dynamic effort on Friday and Saturday).
I have two variations for each lift: incline press, spoto press, front squat, high-bar squat, z press, military press, double-paused deadlifts, and deficit deadlifts.
It's a four-week cycle (three training, one deload), with the weaker variation in the first week, the stronger variation in the second week, and the main lift in the third week. Dynamic effort is always the main lift.
I tried skipping the deload the first time. I was very fatigued by the time I was in week five, and I was completely fucked by the time week six came around. Would not recommend.
Despite all of my missed sessions and other stuff, I'm still hitting PRs on the variations. I haven't been able to test my maxes on the main lifts since I started... Shit just keeps getting in the way. I'm hopeful, though. I was just shy of 3/2/4 before I started. I'm hoping to hit at least the squat and deadlift milestones by the end of the year.
Things we have Learned - A Blog post about Injury management
By Captain Poutine
1: Back injuries will not heal with just a week off what the fuck was I thinking.
2: It's not actually a back injury per se, I am able to locate it now in my upper left glute entirely.
3: The injury does not reduce my pull at all. Was able to easily pull my prescribed 5+ for six, could have grabbed a seventh, and possibly ground an eighth, but I felt the injury getting mad.
4: Form was not a contributing factor in pissing off the injury, but was definitely the initial cause of the injury
5: Myofascial release from PVC rolling and Lacrosse balling immediately relieve the pain. 100% confident this is a muscle injury and not a disc issue.
6: Icing your ass fucking sucks. I'll never be able to use these peas.

>>35107007
Where did you get the idea for your setup? I was, once upon a time, considering something like the CWS "How I Would Westside" setup myself, still seems like it would be fun.
>>35107023
I did this in my upper right glute late last year. I felt fucked for over a week. I irritate it every now and then, but exact same symptoms.
Form definitely caused it because I didn't know how to low-bar and squatted without bracing, too much speed, and massive butt-wink.
>>35106474
get a working camera
get good at powerlifting
get better at video editing
>>35107101
Did mine deadlifting sloppily. If we combined our butts, we might make a good lifter.
>>35107098
>How I Would Westside
That was the basis for it, yeah. I've done a lot of tweaking to make it suit me better, so it's a bit different from that.
He had a bunch of wonky or arbitrary stuff in there that I took out or changed, and I didn't want to do lower body lifts heavy once every two weeks (wtf Chad, get it together), so it's been adjusted quite a bit.
>friend came and lifted with me
>introduced him to some guy at the gym I exchange bantz with
>guy tells my friend
>'you're training with the strongest guy in this gym'
big fish/small pond and all that, but it still felt good. never really got complimented for sporting things before I started doing this
>>35107007
Sounds pretty fun desu. I'm not sure I could do anything like that yet though, I'm still sketchy with any "autoregulation" kind of business.
>>35107023
I'm pretty spooked by anything that seems injury esque after tweaking my shoulder.
by the way, any form or setup suggestions for me here? >>35105608
>>35107195
>I'm still sketchy with any "autoregulation" kind of business.
Same. I'm trying to structure it so that I'm just adding weight every time I do a variation. It's only ten pounds per month, so it's not too difficult.
I might add another week so I can do more variations. I didn't notice fatigue problems until week five, so I'm wondering if I could stretch it a bit.
>>35107089

>>35107166
Aw shit lad, that must have been an A1 feel
>>35107195
If this whole injury has taught me anything, it's to not fear the injury boogeyman. I took a week off, no loss of strength, and yeah I didn't completely heal the injury, but it's a ton better and I have the knowledge to work through it now.
Lifts looked solid m8, GJ, sick headband.

This 504 thing is gold tbqh
Went to gym from a month hiatus. Hoped to get 315 DL because that was last PR, finished up at 335 for a fairly easy pull
405 is coming by summer
You lads all ready for the new meat at your gym?
alright here's a question:
What should my lifts be at before getting into powerlifting
Squat 255x5
Bench 205x5
OHP 140x5
Deadlift 295x5 (i know)
Just dreaming about the future, I have many many gains to make doing the Texas Method.
Wondering when I should even THINK about powerlifting, b/c I think that's eventually where I want to go..

>>35108025
Makes me glad I train at a powerlifting club and all the newbies who want to do powerlifting aren't allowed to train on the same days as the the more advanced lifters
>>35108165
>I'd never be allowed to train with wank
>>35104510
i thought it was 10cm from the knee T B H
>>35108204
You probably would, by newbie we mean people literally just starting out, who barely have lifted before at all, let alone done strength training
>>35108212
this would make a lot of sense, doing conventional block pulls from a 10cm block was fucking b r u t a l
>>35108223
That's good. You still get a chance to awe the newbies. I finally feel like I may be strong enough to scare some NYRs this year. Hope deadlifts line up on Jan 2nd.
>tfw if it wasn't for illness, I'd be lifting for over a year straight now
>tfw still can't lift due to illness
I can not imagine what my lifts would be and how I'd look like now if I didn't get sick. ;___;

Nah, the newbies usually come earlier than I come, so I never get any true mires anymore since everyone is used to seeing big numbers.

Fuck yeah man, smesh it
>>35104867
I've always thought this intuitively but haven't really bothered to look for citations
do you have any good ones
>>35108516
Even most first aid protocols list PRICE as being used for immediately after the injury
>>35108536
yes but first aid protocols are for pain management first and foremost and IMO don't really work for muscular injuries, rather better for things like skeletal problems (concussion, break, etc.)
>>35108536
>>35108551
I should amend that - they work, not saying they don't. I'm mostly just asking the guy for a source, anyway
>>35108516
That being said, The "honest PT" is wrong in discounting PRICE. Swelling in muscle injuries and ligament sprains is caused by damaged blood vessels, not the body rushing nutrients or some broscience bullshit. PRICE for the first three days, followed by rest, and rehab is consistently the best approach to sports injuries.
>>35108551
>IMO don't really work for muscular injuries
Not true. When we suffer a muscle injury, the goal is to allow the ruptured vessels to heal as quickly as possible. This is why practically all of PRICE is designed to limit bloodflow to the area, and why after the third day, we begin applying thermotherapy, once those capillaries have had time to heal.
>>35108577
This is also why I avoid most NSAID after incurring an injury. Don't know how bro sciency I'm being with that one though.
>>35108560
>>35108578
why do you look normal weight in gym clothes but fat in hoodie/jeans
>>35108577
>>35108649
yeah I realized I phrased it wrong. Just interested in seeing what sort of citations he has because it's a cool idea
>>35108668
This kiiiind of ven diagrams what he was talking about, but deals more with thermatherapy

The username "bench polkov" pops up a lot on reddit and various pling communities.
is he trustworthy senpai?
y/n?
tie's a little loose on the neck because of the bar, and may have bulked out of the shoulders a little early
Anyone have any creative cues or tricks to help get rid of a squat-morning?
Everything far only helps up to a certain point, and then it just all goes to shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs4kH6PDAu0&feature=youtu.be
Here's my squats from Monday, I mean I'm happy with it since it's a PR that moved pretty well, but it's pretty disgusting to look at, and I want to definitely fix it.
>>35108749
the first was ok
the second was shit because you lost all tightness as soon as you hit depth
>>35108706
good summary but more or less states what I believe already
the reason I was curious about the other guy's post is because he implied it was some kind of lipid hypothesis level breakthrough
>>35108767
How do I into maintaining tightness, but yeah I can see what you mean when I look at the video
>>35108744
Lower the tie bar. It's not supposed to be something you show off.
>>35108749
I've always thought of trying to dump the bar off my back.
>>35108767
>implied
exactly.
>>35108789
I don't get that cue senpai
>>35108560
>>35108578
> Easily $3k on the rifle and optic alone
Being a poorfag sucks, but at least I'm working on my ring of fat.
nn plg, see you tomorrow
>>35108778
1) improve flexibility, mostly glutes and hips IMO
2) control your descent better, catching the bounce won't mean shit unless you can actually keep tight
3) improve upper back strength so that your t-spine doesn't collapse
>>35108789
but it's between 3rd/4th buttons like it's meant to be
>>35108798
Ever watch oly lifters throw a bar off their backs right after a squat?
>>35108813
Yeah, my glutes are pretty tight senpai, hips aren't that tight though
In regards to catching the bounce, even when I don't stay tight it feels much better, and stronger than me trying to control the descent desu
>improve upper back strength so that your t-spine doesn't collapse
Any specific exercises?
>>35108813
>but it's between 3rd/4th buttons like it's meant to be
w-what?
No. That rule can't work with that shirt pls see pic related .
But other than that you're lookin sharp as fuk m8
You need to get yourself a watch tho m8.
>>35108818
I think I get what you mean, this is a cue to keep your chest up right? seems like it'd be better for me than just having the cue ''chest up'' desu, your cue kinda does the job better for me personally, feels like I can bring it higher
>>35108879
Exactly. Just don't let it happen for real.
>>35108840
yeah I'm not saying don't use stretch reflex, I'm saying catch it in such a way that doesn't force you to round your back to hit that depth
as for upper back, front squats, pullaparts, and rows usually do the trick
>>35108868
in that pic it looks like left has between 3rd and 4th and right has between 2nd and 3rd though...
>>35108749
When I fix my squat mornings I'll let you know.
I've been on a SSB bender, and when you pitch forward that thing punishes you for all your sins.
I wish I had Hancott pics to post with all this suit talk.
>>35108895
wish my gym had one of these. I feel like I can grind a lift endlessly provided I'm upright. Only problem becomes as soon as I switch to a barbel my forward lean is off the charts
>>35108890
>I'm saying catch it in such a way that doesn't force you to round your back to hit that depth
Fair point senpai
>as for upper back, front squats, pullaparts, and rows usually do the trick
Was already planning on doing front squats next cycle, I miss them desu
As with pullaparts and rows, I already do them desu
Thanks for advice so far though lad

I wish my club had them too ;_;
But they're mostly against anything that requires fancy equipment, like chains, bands and custom bars for some reason
>>35108939
Suit pics pls
>>35108749
what kind of music does wilks enjoy?
>>35108890
I just think that the rule of thumb can't always apply when shirt button distribution is not uniform. Please humour me and put it below your fourth button and snap a pic. It could just be the angle... I dunno.
>>35108956
I have absolutely no idea, but pretty much anything played on the speakers at our gym he tends to not like, which is usually either Metal, EDM, or hiphop/rap
>>35108950

I'm wearing pyjamas now, that was from before dinner
>>35108977
Pls..
>>35108981
Eh, what the fuck do I know anyway
>>35108918
>grind a lift effortlessly
Well color me jelly.
>provided I'm upright
Ah, nevermind. When I stay locked upright it's not too bad, it just feels incredibly tight. When I round/lean/pitch or what have you it immediately tries to kill me and whispers in my ear that my family's next.
>>35108944
>they're mostly against spending money
FTFY
>>35109011
kek yes the first time I used it was insane. Hold on I'll draw a pic of what happened
>>35108970
>but pretty much anything played on the speakers at our gym he tends to not like
ayyy
>>35109011
b-but they got like a billion eleiko competition PL and WL bars, that costs thousands each, plus a fuckton of eleiko comp plates and racks + benches.
And they just recently bought like 10 brand new custom Titan 10mm single prong PL belts with the club logo on the back, just for everyone to use.
I'm sure they can afford to buy a Safety squat bar desu
