Not really. They are somehow much less comfortable than squats. And you expect things to be easier
But they aren't.
Wanted to do 250kg 5x2
Did one set, hurt my forearm. Second used straps and it was shit. Third took the suit off, and it was really fucking hard.
240kg 3x2 raw on Tuesday was a piece o piss
>>35137991
Yeah has nothing to do with you deadlifting heavy all the time or anything right?
Lads I've always benched with a flat back no arch or at least minimal, today however I decided to go for arch and "pushing" with legs after reading Juggernaut Bench manual.
My lower back is fucking killing me now is that normal (it's not the actual middle of the lower back where the spine is it's the two muscles on the sides if that makes sense) is this normal?
The weight I did was 80x5 kg and 110x3x2 kg
>>35137996

240 is 85pc true.
Also eqp deadlifts manage to somehow be just as hard.
>>35138071
To be fair, that Iranian BTFO of everyone that isn't named Sarychev or Spoto. Hell, probably them too, if they had to put their legs up.

But I'm told I'm not supposed to use a belt because my core should do the work on its own and that knee wraps aren't necessary as long as you squat below paralell.

yeah great lift pal
>>35138707
The latter. Though, I struggle with the former when doing rep work.
>>35138701
This happens to me every single time I do dips. Never had any consequences.
i was doing some clean and press'es and at the top of the rep my upper back sort of jerked outwards like it was all tight in the inside, and then burst out in a circle, now my back hurts bad and is maybe 7/10 or 10/10 if i align my spine in a bad position, what can i do now to aleviate the pain or even help repair it?
long story im a bricklayer and my traps are worked all day so i get allot of injuries there, i have had 2 in the past 3 months, they were both from doing chin ups with 30kg on a belt
when i get back from work i feel really compact and strong but i think this is whats causing my injuries now, is there a stretching routine that can help or anything to add to my diet? plz help have posted this four times now
>>35138701
answer this seriously, do you genuinely think your bench is good?
Post a video of you doing 85% for a triple or so and I'll give you genuine critique on your form.
>>35137928
OK lads, serious question:
1. I will never compete in powerlifting.
2. I *am* interested in strongman, and have access to a loading pin, log, full axle, and so forth.
Given these conditions, is there any specific reason why I shouldn't make the Zercher my primary squat and back squatting an accessory?
My logic:
- carryover to any sort of deadlift
- carryover to tire flip
- carry over to husafell stone
- carry over to conan's wheel
- carry over to sandbag carry
- carry over to stone load
- good for moving events like conan's or husafell where breathing is restricted
Likewise, is there any reason to do regular OHP versus axle clean and press/log clean and press?
I have access to a variety of Texas bars, a light (hollow) thick bar and a 30kg solid axle.
>>35138759
I've only had the divebombing problem. That seems to have been sorted by improving my meme arch.
I'd assume the tightness problem would be alleviated by regular stretching, and more warm up sets/reps? No experience with that problem though, so I could very well be wrong.
>>35138777
Is there any reason why you can't rotate main lift and accessory lifts throughout the year?
>>35138809
Not particularly. I currently use Hepburn as my program (both power and pump routines), but am not averse to switching to something more strongman friendly, like Cube for Strongman. I also don't have any issues with back squatting, but I'd like the movement that has the best carryover to strongman and other activities (I am often a roadie for my musically inclined friends). I feel like I get more out of Zerchers than back squats, but if there's a reason to rotate, I will go with the wiser judgement.
>>35138714
Because my program is written in kilos.
Also because it's not a dead unit
>>35138774
No I don't believe my bench is good but this thread is a blog related to powerlifting and I post my lifts as part of that.
Webm is 83% ish
>>35138740
Wow thtas'" amazign can I touch ur penis?
>>35138836
You barely touch your chest, and it's not even for a second
This wouldn't pass in the IPF. I guess your grip width is solid, but the way the bar comes down is not in a straight line, but rather a sort of zigzag
>>35138836
>giving the shitposters (you)a
Aaron, plus.
How's the benching feeling after the pop?
>>35138766
>sort of jerked outwards like it was all tight in the inside, and then burst out in a circle,
...I have no idea how to picture this
Aside from deadlifts, is there anyway to improve grip strength? I feel like the one thing keeping my measly 89.5kg deadlift is my grip strength. I've also been told straps will help, but then my grip wouldn't be getting any exercise at all.
On a related note, my DL form always feels weird, like I have to move the bar around my knees when it's coming down.
>>35138777
I've heard a lot of strongman types say that the front squat and safety squat bar are the two best primary variations.
I'd just go with the axle for pressing if I were you.
>>35138855
Actually really good. I kind of realized this is a % that is based on without chains. Just like how it goes to 190kg good mornings
>>35138854
So you're implying the bar path should be vertical?
>>35138905
I think you're having reading comprehension troubles, I'm saying the bar path should be vertical while you're bringing it down, which it isn't.
>>35138883
I do have access to an SSB and did a cycle of Hepburn on that to great success.
I assume strongman should involve squatting flatfooted?
>>35138777
Fucking UrbanPrimalist, forgot about that guy. I would front squat a lot and heavily and back squat as a frequent accessory. As for regular OHP (or pushpress), probably train this more regularly, the axle all the time just seems like you'd be limiting yourself.
>>35138836
Your pauses are probably fine, provided you don't get one of those really old judges that make the hand gesture and THEN say "press"
Bar path looks pretty smooth
Only issue is heels up and a little forward foot travel, but if you aren't competing IPF, only movement is an issue

Any other pointers?
>>35138974
I'm not a powerlifter, or bodybuilder really, I just like lifting because I want to be big and strong. I know my squat is lagging and I've been trying to increase it.
>>35138834
It'll probably just feel refreshing, and switching things up when you stall can help you break the stagnation.
>>35139012
well if you're in the IPF, that Sarychev steal (you know the one) is going to have to go, if not I guess it's a good platform, but you're literally 6'4", how can you not have a good platform while benching?
>>35138961
How could you possibly bench effectively in a vertical line? You start and finish above your shoulder socket but you touch somewhere near the base of your sternum.
>>35139028
I think you are an absolute nonce. The point is, to bring down the bar vertically is to reduce the range of motion required to stabilise the bar for the triceps and shoulders, pressing in a slight diagonal is the natural reaction after this, which as we all now is how you press upwards.
Bringing the bar DOWN in the most efficient path is the goal as well as bringing it up.
>>35139043
Show me a video of anyone benching in a vertical path. There's always an arc, there has to be.

It still looks like there's bit of an arc tho.
>>35139087
>that
>'vertical'
>>35139111
Not him but a proper bench begins just below the nip and ends just above the nip.
This is the shortest SAFE bar path, it's almost a straight line.
>>35139134
I assumed good form starts with your arms straight, over your shoulders, and then coming down it touches your sternum. That's really the only way I've seen people bench correctly ever.
Not saying my word is law, I've just never seen it any other way irl.
>>35139134
It begins and ends above the shoulder if the arms are fully locked out. Touch point is individual, but it's at LEAST below the nipples if you want it to be safe.
yoo
lmoa
>>35139185
>>35139173
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line so it would make sense to press the bar straight up. The only problem with that is that you will negate the strength of your front delts and instead put them in a very stressful, disadvantageous position. What you actually want to do is press straight up out of the bottom and then at the top third of the range, start allowing your elbows to flare out to the sides slightly while pushing the bar back just a bit. If you do this correctly you will lock out the bar where it started, about one to two inches above your nipple line. When viewed from the side, the perfect bench press rep will look like a J, instead of a straight line. If you press up in a straight line your arms will be tilted forward a few degrees, instead of perpendicular with the floor. This makes the lockout far harder than it would be if you pressed slightly back and took advantage of the strength of your front delts.

>>35139043
so you go down vertical and go up in a slight diagonal, then reposition bar at the top again
>>35139249

Anyone with experience of doing inverted juggernaut? Thoughts? I'm really enjoying training for strength although I really need to add muscle mass.
>>35139065

this bar path has very little horizontal movement
>>35139466
If you see strongtoast around ask him.
>>35139466
I have not run it, pretty sure nobody here actually has, but I do like the set-up.
>>35139495
I think he was the one talking about it in a routine thread with someone else. Havent seen him since.
>>35139490
Slight arc down, very obvious movement backward right off the chest, very much in line with >>35139208 and with human anatomy.
>>35139458
Huhuhu
where did my powerlifting posts go? Janitor is gonna get fired
>>35139505
He used to hang around in stg/smg. Now he just posts randomly. He's run inverted juggernaut, and I think some other variations as well.
I didn't realize how much complaining was in plg threads until I started coming to them. They're still a good source of info for my stupid questions, but still.
Anyway, I'm gonna try farmers walks and a few other things. Hopefully they'll help my DL go up. I guess worst case scenario is I buy some straps while my grip strength gradually improves.
>>35138864
i don't believe that your grip is so weak that using chalk and mixed grip you can't hold onto 100kg
>>35139564
Lad if you're south of 2pl8 (and not Sean/Sean derivative) just do some more deadlifts and hold onto your last rep as long as you can, no need to go adding all sorts of shit in.
>>35139564
Could also do static holds. Or work with an axle. One of the gripsters that frequented Boss recommended fat bar dead hangs, eventually working up to fat bar pull ups. He was also fond of towel/rope work and plate pinching/flipping
>>35138864
>>35139635
Wait, if it actually is only 89kg, maybe just learn mixed or hook grip, and make friends with lifting chalk.
>>35139622
>>35139673
My gym doesn't allow chalk, but I've never tried mixed grip. Also I'm under the sneaking suspicion that maybe my form is just whack.
>>35139635
That sounds doable. Like I said, I'm hoping it's my grip and not just my form.
>>35139648
I'll look into all of that stuff. I just realize that my grip strength is shit because of deadlifts, and the fact that I can't hang from my doorway pullup bar for longer than 10-15 seconds.
>>35139705
ok well switch to mixed grip and buy liquid chalk. deadlifting double over hand is dumb in the long run.
>>35139705
Why would you not train mixed grip you idiotic stupid fuck
>>35139705
How can your grip be that weak? Did you not wank.as a kid?
But for real, try bouldering/rock climbing
/plg/ I've been a salty cunt and haven't been to the gym in three weeks.
How do I re-ignite my lifting obsession?
My plan was to compete around this time this year but now looking towards next year.
>>35139705
So in regards to the no chalk thing, there are a couple options:
1. Liquid chalk, works just as well and makes no mess.
2. (Have not tried yet) Supposedly a single sheet of paper towel will work.
3. Talk to the gym management and see if you can establish a verbal contract that so long as you THOROUGHLY clean up after yourself, you may use chalk.
4. New gym.
>>35139757
Get up off your butt and do it. If you don't want to of your own accord, there is LITERALLY nothing we can do to fix that.
>>35139752
>Why would you not train mixed grip you idiotic stupid fuck
Because I'm an idiotic stupid fuck, bruh
>>35139759
It's my University's gym, so it's "free" (with tuition of course). I'm not sure how much they'd be willing to allow stuff like chalk. Still, I'm willing to ask.
>>35139856
Why are you tripping btw?
>>35139757
first of all, routine helps
i was recently in this same situation after my meet, since i hit a longterm goal. the solution was to just get back into training to form the routine and set another semi-long term goal.

>>35139956
Well I know it's generally true but I meant you specifically. You're a good deadlifter but you do have some pretty serious breakdown under max/near max loads. I don't see how borderline catback conventional is going to make the best use of a suit.
>>35139996
I like to live dangerously
>>35140016
Yeah. It won't. The suit aggravates it really badly too. Because I unhinge my shoulders reaching for the bar...

>>35140083

A routine probably would help. I've been lost after splitting TM into an upper/lower 4 day. Maybe it's just my routine is boring af
>>35139908
I dunno, I just did it once and then kept doing it because I kept forgetting to erase it from the form. In pairing from my phone now though so I guess I don't have an excuse.
Then again I'm not really sure if there's a difference between a name and using a trip. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Squats Squats Squats Squats SquatsSquats Everybody"
A training Diary, By Captain Poutine
With trepidation I approached the cage today. The plan was to try squatting until my injury started to hurt, then stop. Ended up getting all the way up to my 5+ and getting five. Could have pushed for six, but I'm kinda spooked by the injury, so I didn't mind leaving a few in the tank. The inury wasn;t pissed off at all, in any way. In fact the stretch at the bottom felt amazing.
I will say this though: that entire session probably yielded, without a doubt, the absolute ugliest and most abhorrent squat form I have ever seen. Taking a two week period between squat sessions is not something I can afford to do. Weight shifted to my toes a few times, the forward lean came back, I was just all over the fuckin place, until the third 5x10 set when I was finally able to get my shit together. Shows how much of a rookie I still am.
Feelin a little discouraged, but reminding myself that we all have shite sessions.

Eh. Even Norse had his squat crisis. I'll figure it out.
Even if it just means biting the bullet and buying lifting shoes.
>>35142664
your squat looks almost exactly like mine kek
>>35143228
Sorry bro. We'll fix it :(
>>35143060
>this is my torso angle on the high bar squat

sumo pulls have been going up 30lbs every month.

>>35142664
>this jewfro sjw bastard is squatting 150kg and basically... you are just fucking stupid
>learn how, just click here!
>>35143303
pls don't complain about your squat while I am around I will get triggered k?
>>35142664
>>35142832
goddamn breh
have you considered heels and maybe cutting your depth a little?
>>35143319
It won't if you're me
>>35143303
Same here almost :(
>>35143371
>have you considered heels and maybe cutting your depth a little?
Both of these things.
Depth is entirely my own fault, both of these videos are of me squatting without facing the mirror that I normally used to judge depth.
I've always been opposed to heels, because I figured I'd just get my mobility better, but now I realise I'm being an idiot, and should probably get some shoes.
Anyone buy "Juggernaut Training: A Thoughtful Pursuit of Strength"? Looks like a good read, Chad Wesley Smith seems like a bro.

>I've always been opposed to heels, because I figured I'd just get my mobility better, but now I realise I'm being an idiot, and should probably get some shoes.
yeah that's pretty silly senpai considering hundreds of elite weightlifters and powerlifters with better mobility than us use them
you probably missed all the good black friday/cyber monday sales too
Opinions on Connor Lutz Intermediate program?
>>35143582
literally "why not just do sheiko" tier
>>35143529
>friday/cyber monday sales too
There's always boxing day senpai.
I'll probably head into town and pick some up with Christmas $$$$ from gamma. I just did some squats with my heel elevated and my back didn't round at all.
In the meantime just gonna step my stretch game up.
>>35143060
too much knee travel is a meme tBh friendo.

>go to gym today
>one month into SL, making my babby gainz

>every couple of exercises he comes over and hovers at the squat rack

>every rep he squats down to the bench, sits on it for half a second, then raises back up
>ask him why he's using the bench

>says it works his quads more this way
Is this retarded, or is it actually an effective workout? I'm too new at this to know, and have never seen it before. The kid looks like he's got a lot of muscle, like a high school athlete, but damn if this doesn't look like something some retarded gym coach would come up with.
how to prevent butt wink?
should I lean forward more?
I have lower back pain after doing 415 for a double...
I am an atrocious bencher bee tee dubs
>>35143718
Box squats m8
>>35143733
Post form video, hard to advise on it without.
Usually its an issue of going deeper than mobility allows and not bracing properly.
>my depth is suddenly absolutely borderline
ffuu
>>35142292
Anyone?
>>35144005
sounds like slow progress imo but any progress is good progress and i had pretty quick progress so i'm a poor benchmark
5 months lifting currently at 280 bench, 365 squat 425 dl, how am I doing?
>had surgery on my testicle
>haven't been able to lift for a week and a half

upon comparison my arms are kinda long, aren't they
>>35143746
oh well, helps in the diddly. Incidentally I notice you're all sumo pullers
>>35144372
What's your wingspan? I'm gonna see if I can't make a good comparison
>>35144372
to me it looks like my upper arm makes up less than half of my total arm, whereas yours makes up about half. can't really judge length because of differences in heights and what not
interesting about the sumo puller thing, i think my arms are average length though.
>>35143733
mobilize hips and ankles. brace better
>>35144385
around 73'' I think, but haven't measured in years. I'm 5'9'' or 69''.
Every fucking time I go boxing for fun with m8s some guy will try to recruit me
