Welcome to /plg/ Powerlifting General
Discuss powerlifting AND ONLY POWERLIFTING OR YOU WILL ANGER THE MODS AND THEY WILL KILL OUR THREADS WITH FLAME AND STEEL
>please have mercy edition
powerliftinggeneral.com
Yesterday when I was joking about crowdfunding my squat shoes, it gave me an idea for something cool an unattainable.
It would be cool to put together a /plg/ fund and use it as a seed to setup almost a sponsorship for some of the more promising lifters in need. Like we could cover a few meet entries per year or something.
2nd for the comfy in /plg/ is gone since the mods started giving a shit about it.
to make it pl related, how is everyone's training going? sheiko is starting to get kind of hard now finally. only a week until skills test
>>35162953
Good idea desu
>>35162964
kinda want to give shieko a go Tbh
but i got hurt on a warm up weight that may or may not have been related to sheiko
bit scared desu

mods r u fucking serious
>>35162979
how are your lifts going? are you still able to progress doing something simpler? this is my first time doing something like this, and it is sooo boring. I would say if you can, do something else until you absolutely cannot progress anymore, unless you don't mind RARELY going over 80%
>>35162981
yeeeeeeeeeee
>>35162964
Wishin I weren't injured, ƒam. OHP and light squat session tomorrow, might try borrowing a lad's squat shoes to see how much of a difference it makes (if it's anything like the heel raised bw squats I did last night, it should be a big difference).
Worried about Deadlifts on Tuesday. My back feels great. Really minor pain, really rarely. Hoping to at least work up to 75% for a triple, but we'll see. Pain will be the guide.
>>35162981
>>35162997
Better than seanposting.
>>35162974
Not very realistic I don't think though. Be very very cool though to sponsor a lifter though. I'd be game to putting it together if enough people were interested.
Starting round 2 c6w in the morning and bulkin again lads.
>bretty excite
>>35162997
>how are your lifts going? are you still able to progress doing something simpler?
ehh, i suppose they are moving, low increases over the year but that is probably more to do with slight injuries that i keep needing to take time off for and building back
+10kg to squat
+2.5kg to bench (although +15kg to tng lol)
+~5kg to dead
over a year
not exactly fast
i dont mind boring Tbh
i really only do little assistance
this your first test coming up?
>>35163000
nice idea but unrealistic really
giving it to trips would be accused of favouritism and basically 'stealing' money
giving it to anons would result in sean ripping videos and making a youtube channel or something lol
>>35163057
>bulkin again lads.
The first week of returning to the bulk is always so glorious and then you realise how much you have to eat every day.
>>35163068
so true. Decided to stop cutting now that I can see the veins in the middle of my forehead.
I missed bread.
>>35163062
I'd structure it as a "membership" so if you donated let's say, $10, you got to vote on who get's the sponsorship for that year. I'd also have a smaller contingent acting as the "nominators" who would pick, let's say five applicants to bring forward to the voting body.
>>35163057
gl grubby :)
>>35163062
If you don't mind boring, then I'd say go for it if you aren't making great progress on other stuff. And yes, this is going to be my first test coming up. pretty hype, especially for bench. Squats are feeling either super easy or super hard, depending on the day, and deads are feeling ok too. Bench is really feeling nice though.
>>35163098
thanks friendpal
>>35163093
>>35163098
>Squats are feeling either super easy or super hard
come to think of it i do remember light weights feeling like death when i tried it
might leave it for another while
think the fatigue would mess with my head too much Tbh
>>35163093
and as a sponsorshipee they have to show us that they actively promoted /plg/ at their meet lol
>>35163156
>think the fatigue would mess with my head too much Tbh
it really doesn't get that bad for a few weeks. but I am only doing the 3 day one, so if you were planning on trying the 4 day, that would likely be a different story. I think Norse and Bodorio both had pretty tough times with the fatigue. But they both made awesome progress afaik
>>35163200
isnt norsie fucked?
i think i would be more like him, panicing like fuck when the fatigue hits
bodorio deals with fatigue so well tho, even seems to like it lol
iirc i think it was a 250 single he grinded and was happy because he knew it was working or something, crazy
better man than i
you just doing it from the app?
>>35163156
>promoted /plg/ at their meet lol
Clearly we would have track jackets made

heeyy guys i think my gf has a problem waking up her glutes i see some signs of this when she squats
how can she wake up her glutes?
>>35163766
Isnt your deadlift only 405lbs?
>>35163770
my gf had the same problem. Fix the APT that she likely has, stretch hip flexors, and do isometric glute contraction stuff like single leg bridges.
>>35163783

So I finally got 3 plate deadlifts and worked up to doing a challenging double with it. Then I took a month or so hiatus, come in and hit a 10lvs PR. Yesterday I added 10lbs to that.
I'm happy to say the least my baby weight is going up.
Then me and my friend beat some 13 year olds in basketball
>>35164127
GJ mate
Fuck 13 yr olds, for real.
What are /plg/'s favorite assistant exercises for...
>Squat
>Bench
>Deadlift
Mine
Good morning for sq, cgb for bench, and paused deficit for deadlift
>>35164155
This one fucking kept making 3's from far out like hail marrying it but fucking getting IT IN each time. Pissed me off so me and my bro just played like old white men (which I guess we are in their eyes), layups and mid ranged jumpers allllll dayyyy
>>35164155
Some of them look like 16 year olds, so yeah I would.
>>35164156
Front squats, spoto press and romanian deadlifts senpai
>>35164156
front and pause squats
close grip bench and push press
deficit or sn grip
>>35164156
More squats
Dips
Paused deads
>>35164156
Front squat
3ct pause bench
Pause DL
>>35164278
You pause on chest?
>>35164310
no, only at lockout
>>35164310
ye
I like spoto too but pause on the chest is better for imitating the tightness you need in a competition bench imo
>>35164323
>>35164333
Sometimes I feel loose when I'm doing longer pauses on chest I've never competed, what do you do to her tight? Just like try to bend bar and make lats like a bow?
>>35164359
Yeah flex the lats the entire time. To me it almost feels like I'm starting the pressing movement the entire time I'm pausing, just not with enough force to make the bar move.
>>35164383
I'll give that a try I hate that shit where you pause and it doesn't budge/shoot like it should be
I'm gonna bring up >>35162953 again tomorrow morning if anyone's interested. Starting to actually think it may be a cool reality.
>>35164113
Where is the six pack
>>35164413

These threads get deleted and there's a thread on the first page of a guy literally bathing in a mixture of his own shit and semen from his ass. The mods think that PLG shitposting is even worse than a man bathing in shit. Think about that.
kek
>>35163283
>you just doing it from the app
yes. I am doing the intermediate medium load one fwiw. I think that translates to the 3 day, over 80kg from the forums.
I'm going to give sheiko a run of 29 then 37 and I was just wondering if I should add in a few sets of chin ups or face pulls? It just seems so weird to do so much pressing and not work your back. I totally understand the volume is killer and sheiko knows his shit but also its not really a cookie cutter program and I'm not sure if I could add in those two exercises a few days a week
>>35164156
>>Squat
more squats
>>Bench
close grip
>>Deadlift
double paused deadlifts
>>35164713
oh shit just realized she has tattoos.
>>35164156
>more squats
>feet up bench
>SLDL
>>35164156
More squats
Close grip bench
More deadlifts
>>35164156
>squat
depending on the issue. banded squats really helped me get speed out of the hole, pause squats help with positioning. if neither of those are an issue just squat more tBh. i feel like front squats are good but they have such a mobility and technique requirement it might not be worth it, maybe SSB instead
>bench
in the past i liked slingshot.
recently i've been digging incline bench
>deadlift
paused. absolutely paused deadlifts have been the #1 accessory contribution to my total.
>webm related
>>35164690
They get deleted when the op of the thread gets wiped out because he shit posts.
>>35164866
>that webm
wait do you just do them for singles?
also, are you just doing them at whatever weight, or is there some range you keep them in?
>>35164893
they were doubles, typically i do a quick-ish 3 count but they felt light so i did that for fun.
I replaced sheiko's deadlift to knees with paused deadlifts, and took 5% off the intensity because i thought otherwise they would be too hard. so typically its 65-75% for doubles or triples
>>35164866
That was empathetically painful to watch. Can't wait to try it
>>35164907
oooooo that makes sense. do you still do the same reps and sets then? and in the sheiko I am doing, it has you do the deadlifts to knees, then bench, then block pulls (I don't know if yours is the same), but if it is, do you do the block pulls after as well?
I really like your way of doing them.
>>35164914

unracking the bar with ur ass still off the bench
should have been redlighted
>>35165029
clearly you don't know the rules friendo. everything is fair game until you receive the start command
>>35165010
good point.
>>35165043
i dunno about that particular fed but i saw someone getting redlighted in the ipf because he lifted his ass before the lift with the bar already in his hands (before the start signal). way worse than this tho
>>35165082
>i saw someone getting redlighted in the ipf
That quote should be on t-shirts given out at IPF meets.
>>35165082
either
1. no you didn't, he got redlighted for some other reason and you're mistaken, or
2. the refs had literally no fucking clue what they were doing and mistakenly redlighted him.
phil competes ipf, that was a national level meet i believe.

Well /plg/, here I am in my hour of need. I began my fitness journey earlier this year, and went from a fatty to a half-decent looking guy who fits into nice clothes again. Unfortunately I lost so much weight without lifting that my body is a laughable funhouse of shitty composition, and I don't think I'll ever look aesthetic. But I love the feeling of lifting and getting that pump, so I'm here to ask for your advice, essentially how do I get started on just becoming a powerhouse instead of trying to look lean
Any advice at all would be much appreciated, I don't know my numbers for major lifts but I do know I'm devastatingly weak because I can barely bench 100lbs
>>35165695
try a beginner strength routine. SS gets shit on a lot but if you eat lots and do accessory work it's pretty solid
>>35165695
Do ss
>Yet another shitty Iifting generaI with O P trying to force the cIick bait maI ware site
That's the 4th time today anons. This generaI just keeps getting worse and worse in attempts to drive peopIe to that shitty site.
>This isn't reaIIy a generaI anyway
>That Guy generaI is doing better than this is
>Fate Hate bIows this out of the water
lt's gotten that bad
>>35165713
I already have pretty huge quads and calves thanks to genetics AND being a fat fuck but my core is utter shit so I'll probably do that. What kind of accessory work do you mean/recommend?
>>35165695
You can get surgery man, that's what I'm going to do when I'm finished. 342 -> 235 but I lifted the whole way. Going to have loose skin, but fortunately lost it slowly and lifted the entire time so the muscle mass bulks out most of it.
>>35165695
Pick a basic lifting routine (SS and SL are the ones mostly pimped, but there's dozens around. They tend to share certain things in common - training the big lifts multiple times per week for lowish reps and increasing the weight aggressively).
Beyond that its mostly a matter of hard work, food and time.
>>35165746
Well I'm this guy>>35165695
and I'm looking for some advice, that's plg related right? I'm looking for all the opinions I can get
>driving scares me but I'm tired of relying on others for transportation
>>35165769
Ah see I'm relatively poor so surgery is off the table for a long time. I lost my fat really quickly, 110lbs since March 1st so I have just a bit of loose skin on my front stomach, the main problem is I can't seem to develop my chest at all and I still have love handles. My arms look okay for a dyel and my legs are above average, but the torso is just... depressing
>>35165771
The reason I'm failing my goal to become aesthetic is because after 9 months of cutting I just can't stay away from food anymore. The type of food is no concern; I have no craving for the garbage I used to eat like soda and fast food. I just can't control the quantity I consume. I can easily overeat on 3000 calories of chicken and veggies in one day and it still turns to fat because I only do cardio
Figure I may as well start lifting at the same time I'm collapsing so that I get muscle along with the fat
>>35165789
I hear you. Luckily I can leech off my parent's health insurance until I'm 26 and they have great insurance and have agreed to pay for it for me. They're just pleased I got my shit together.
I recommend dips and dumbbell flies for chest development, both are great.
>>35165761
dips, chins, curls, maybe some abwork
>>35165761
Do chin ups every day you do SS, 4 sets and stop just a few reps shy of failure. Don't do pullups; chinups will involve your biceps which is good for girls and also for avoiding muscle imbalances.
Replace power cleans with barbell rows for 3x5 or 3x8 or something like that.
If you have fucky shoulders at all, do face pulls 3 x per week/
>>35165821
Dips are the only exercise that seem to make my chest feel worked at all, and even then its just the inward pectorals. Bench gets me nothing, I must have poor form...
I'll try some dumbbell flies for sure though, thank you. I just have a crap at-home gym for now so I'm stuck getting used to the weights I have, once I can lift those with ease I'm going to upgrade. Also lucky you for the free surgery, you're gonna make it farther than most ex-fatties my man
>>35165849
We're all gonna make it brah. Grats on your progress.
Now we just have to get those social gains.
>>35165843
When it comes to noob gains, I'm doing okay on most fronts except delts and chest, my traps are pretty decent and bis/tris/forearms are decent as well. Don't pullups work shoulders and back? Should I do them alongside some chinups? My biceps are exploding as it is with these meager lifts I can manage
Noob-wise, of course
>>35165859
Lucky for me I've always been outgoing and now that I'm thin, I make friends easier than ever. I just want to be completely comfortable with myself physically and then I'll have made it
Dammit all I didn't think I'd get this much help from a general, most people in these threads shut out newcomers it seems. Thanks for the tips man, for real
>>35165882
PLG is a no bully zone friend. Except that one guy but we ignore him.
>>35165915

>best shape of my life despite wonky body under the clothes
>people I've known for years can't believe my transformation and how well I'm doing after a breakup
>still look at myself in the mirror and feel nothing but hatred
>>35165864
If I were you and I were worried about delts, I would do some seated dumbbell press 1-2 x per week.
for chest I like to do 3-5 sets of dumbbell bench for 10 or so., 2-3x per week.
Dips are an awesome exercise for chest / triceps if you can do them injury / pain-free but a lot of people arent that lucky unfortunately. In fact I would do those over dumbbell bench if i could.
I'm not gonna tell you the "bench / OHP is enough for your chest / shoulders" meme because I dont believe in it; also you aren't going to get weaker by doing less work, so it doesnt really matter.
Also if you are interested in PL there isnt really a point in doing OHP.
>>35165956
>able to talk to girls
>able to make friends
>goes out to bars
>doing well after a breakup
anon you're like the anti-me, congrats friend.
>>35165971
My shoulders and clavicles do click frequently when I try certain exercises, which is strange because I didn't play sports or anything in school so I don't know what causes that. Makes a few exercises somewhat painful
The dumbbell bench is probably my best bet, I do have a pair of dumbbell 25's luckily. I think I can hit most body parts with those for now
>>35165997
Also if you aren't yet, start doing facepulls
>>35165979
I'm sorry man, I didn't mean it like that. I was depressed after the breakup but I ended up just pulling the (metaphorical) trigger and stopped being afraid of things. Traveled, made money, lost weight, it all came so easily once I just stopped being scared and dwelling on the past. The future looks bright, you can do it my friend
>>35166001
I don't have a gym nearby so I don't have a way to do those... unless there's some wacky at-home method available with freeweights or something
>>35164665
What if it came
With TSHIRTS?
>>35166020
rear dumbbell delt flies kind of achieve the same purpose (shoulder prehab)
>>35166040
Cool, thank you
Gonna make you proud plg, I'll be back with my progress occasionally. Though you won't know me I suppose
>>35166014
nah I didn't mean to be a downer. Really I'm happy for you. I've just been thinking about my life a lot lately and your post brought about some bad feels. Don't be sad on my account, you're making it and that's awesome. We're all gonna make it, I just need to find where my "it" is.
>>35166061
>I just need to find where my "it" is.
That's very mature friend.
I think you're closer than you realise.
>>35166061
Well one thing that is for certain is your "it" is in the future and not the past, so don't let the bad feels get to you. I was a complacent obese gamer with no control or discipline over my own life, so if I can get to where I am now, anyone can. Reach for the stars and all that jazz, my man
>>35166073

You can also do band pull Aparts which just requires a resistance band. Good luck friend.

>i'd be lying if i said i wasn't thinking about killing myself nearly every night
Please talk to someone about it friend. Depression is not something you have to deal with alone, professionals can help you. You're worth it.

>>35166236
Yeah im in second year of community, does the team give out scholarships? Ive been trying to find colleges with teams in SoCal so I might have a better chance at getting admitted
>>35166315
powerlifting teams? Scholarships? No breh. PL is strictly a hobby, not a spectator sport. If they can't bring in money for it they won't bother with scholarships.
>>35166329
And even if they do, those scholarships aren't going to someone coming out of community college.
>>35166329
Yeah I figured scholarships would be a long shot, but do you think wanting to join the team maybe give me an advantage during applications?
>>35166336
Bro... right in the feels...
>>35166236
why not community college -> Berkeley
>>35166378

Are all of you just that one cunt at my gym that has a neckbeard and a greasy ponytail and just wears the most autistic sweatpants and then proceeds to take up one of the only squat racks in the gym for an hour or more doing less than a plate working on "muh form" but then can only get like 8 reps at 1.5pl8
>>35166516
Nah we are the cunts that warm up with your maxes.
We can occupy racks for a long time though :)
You mad?
>>35166536
Occupy implies that at some point we intend to leave.
>>35166378
Because I go to UCLA
UCB's a good school too, I just get the impression it's a little bit too hipster and students are full of themselves. Just my experience meeting a small handful of people
>>35166516
That's /restoffit/
>>35166516
No, I'm the stubbly skinnyfat with the autistic socks that takes up the only power cage to squat somewhere around 3 plate, but can get 20 reps with a little over 2 plate, and films his mediocre lifts with a phone mounted on a tripod.
help me. i study computer science in the best university of my country and all i care about is lifting. lifting has become what world of warcraft was as a teenager. anyone else feel like this?
>>35166809
Same desu. Everything I do fits with lifting, not the other way around. I don't go on holiday, or out to dinner, I don't even want to, I wouldn't be able to lift/eat properly.
>>35166226
It's a club sport. No scholarships or anything
>>35166353
We have absolutely no pull with admissions whatsoever. However any kind of sport probably looks decent on applications
/PLG/ Help me. I am running Texas Method atm. These are my 5RM.
DL: 185kg
S: 147.5kg
B: 97.5
OHP: 65kg (Haven't trained in a long time)
What accessories should I include? When I stall should I try and milk more progress on an Upper/Lower method or what?

Accessories should be based around what you find difficult
Eg. Being slow off the floor with a deadlift you would do deficits and locking out on bench would be floor press

Whelp, went to the doctor today about my shoulder problem, pain when descending the bar during the bench press, and all she told was that I should take some glucosamine and ibuprofen until it goes away.
>>35168494
yep they are litterally useless for the most part, general doctors anyway
hard to find ones that work with sports people and dont just look at you and say well stop doing that
>>35168494
Yeah doctors are fucking stupid brah
Nigger did the same thing to me , going on a year of no benching
>>35168513
>>35168515
I'll just try glucosamine for a bit and see what happens even though I doubt that I'll get any good results out of it. If it doesn't help then I guess I'll have to pay for a doctor in our city's medical center for athletes.
>>35162895
>say i squat 150kg for 3x5 what is my 1rm?
probably had 3-5 reps left in tank per set.
when I squatted 120 for 3x5 my max was 160, given the former sets and reps felt much harder than what im squatting now.
I havent tested squats in quite a while but would it be safe to say my max is 180-200?
>>35168544
180ish kg seems plausible. There's only one way to find out desu.
>>35166516
I make a point not to be this guy.
However if I do full-body I'm likely to use a rack for up to a whole hour.
Ah well, I pay my fees like everyone else and have just as much a right to the equipment as everyone else.
plus
>I was here first :^)
>>35168544
>would it be safe to say my max is
it would be safe to say your max is whatever the heaviest weight youve put on your back and squatted

JP commentated me when I competed at Matti Tikka.
Cool guy. I had bronchitis and influenza 2 weeks out, couldn't finish the last 2 weeks of my peaking program and hadnt trained for 3 weeks before the meet.
>tfw totalled 100kg less than I was programmed to
>didnt pull out because id paid $300+ for equipment and registration.
>>35168544
thanks f@milia

you cheeky cunt :^)
im speaking hypotheticals, just enable me for a second

>didnt pull out
good on ya mate
what did you lift?
did you tell him you were isleys plg friend lol?
>>35168593
>you cheeky cunt :^)
its completely true tho
people handle reps and heavier weight different Tbh
for reference tho if you have up to 5 reps left (which is always hard to judge at that point, shit hits the fan quick to know youve got 5 reps left imo)
say 165-170 is absolute 5rm which is what im around, although i dont really do 5s mostly doubles and triples
i just squatted 200
but youll not know and cant just claim it
also take to smaller prs before go mad and doing big jumps
my butt just made a smelly stinky fart :(((
>>35168660
thanks senpai.
not gonna say exactly because you know how 4chan is but barely 500kg.
nah lol i didnt.
yeah youre right.
id say im better at repping weight out than maxing from experience.
im iffy right now as im cutting on ss, just trying to add weight and stave off strength drops. not sure when I'll max out next until ive hit weight goals
>>35167887
Yeah man I've had a spasm in it. What's going on for you?
Ive been doing SL for like 9 months with some inconsistencies cause of exams, vacation etc.. and Im still making slow progress. Like I add 2.5 kg on squat every 3 sessions. Should I stop it and go to intermediate program or is it when I fully make no progress at all? Ive seen people finish it in like 4 months. Also what intermediate program do you recommend that's 3 days a week?
>>35168835
Good morning
>>35168858
Good morning friend
>>35168827
>im iffy right now as im cutting on ss,
oh you the same guy
im guessing you a bigger guy but still around 500kg on ss seems pretty good
im usually a 'what are you in plg for if your still on ss' but thats because im used to the 250-300kg ss'ers coming in here saying ohp should replace bench or something lol
>>35168870
How are you?
>>35168896
yeah same guy, a bit over the place as im jumping between 4chan and writing formal emails.
im 90kg rn after travelling, being slack on diet. I competed at 80kg in june last year :|
I pulled 240kg and benched 120kg yoloing a bit earlier cut.
based on projected squat max that would make my total 540-560. Hopefully I can maintain something like this ~85kg
I think SS is underrated whilst cutting.
It's good going on the offensive and trying to add weight to lifts progressively while in a deficit. I'd get bored as hell sticking to same numbers while i watch the scales go down, its variety i suppose.
Any big downside to doing seated ohp only? Getting a homegym and my basement ceiling isn't high enough to do OHP
>>35168839
I would try going down to 3x5/5x3 first. Madcow was pretty fun after SS.
>>35168962
>I think SS is underrated whilst cutting.
No. You're just talented. Most people won't have that total from ss AND tm at that BW, nevermind just ss.
What are we training today family?
>>35168973
Well, less core involvement but it's probably not a huge hindrance. Gotta deal with the cards you're dealt
>>35168958
Pretty gud
You?
>>35168962
good luck with that
ive never had to cut weight myself, and going on how bad i am at bulking, i doubt i will for a long time, so dont really have any input there
>>35169011
god damn the sheiko android app is so much more concise and easier to navigate than the IOS version
>>35168973
Personally, I don't feel like I'm able to get good enough shoulder rotation on the seated variation, possibly because I don't have to engage my scapula all that much compared to standing.
>>35169011
How's your gf?
>>35169000
maybe not SS specifically but the idea of adding weight on a cut rather than what is generally suggested:
>maintaining intensity and trying to hang onto lifts
seems somewhat defeatist.
Additionally most people give up on SS when it gets heavy, let alone failing a lift twice then resetting by 10%. You see it all the time with threads, people giving up on programs and general hopping between them.
>>35169014
Thanks m8.
what weight and calories are you at now?
the weird thing was when preparing for matti tikka I was trying to bulk to the end of the weight class to be competitive, I was being very strict with my fitness pal and trying to eat 5-6k calories, I was training 3 days a week peaking and didnt go above 80kg for some reason when my calculated TDEE was 3k. Then out of nowhere I got sick.
I hate cutting man, I'm hungry all the time without restricting myself. Being 115kg in the past this is even more torturous.

>fail lifts twice and reset! grind grind GRIND ss is amazing you just don't train hard enough!
Sorry I think you're in the wrong thread, /stg/ is this way
>>>/fit/
>>35169150
you're fooling yourself if you think that more than a quarter of the people who say they do SS or any beginner program follow the common point of:
>if you fail a lift twice reset by 10%
I don't think its just training hard as much as it is also following the principles correctly.
>>35169183
SS and its principles are dumb as hell
>>35169203
cmon man thats a copout.
whats dumb about them?
if more people gave SS and similar programs a chance by doing what their proponents actually recommend I believe that the general reputation of these "beginner programs" would be vastly different.
>>35169203
*tips*
>>35169261
>what's dumb about them
SS forces bad motor patterns, has a high injury rate, and just sucks compared to proper programming
>>35169279
the book calls bad form failure irrc so if form breakdown occurs a deload is reccomended.
high injury rate? how so?
how does it suck, what is proper programming in your mind?
ss has been working for me this cut and i think its an underrated program for intermediates, however im biased.
>>35169279
>le adding weight is not important mene
ebin, simply ebin
>>35169308
But the form the book teaches largely IS bad form to be honest.
>>35169308
>what is proper programming in your mind
High volume, 70-80% range, lots of submaximal work, suitable assistance work
>>35169011

>>35169321
The form reccomended in the book is better than some noob going into a gym with no platform, its not bad form.
>>35169325
The books called starting strength ffs, its in the name. Its a beginner program.
If anything a novice has higher risk of injury training as you'd reccomend and in the context (weight loss while trying to stave off strength loss) I was praising SS high volume work can crush you.

>But the form the book teaches largely IS bad form to be honest.
nobody cares about your shitty opinion.
>>35169413
nice man, dont try to rebutt my points.
moreover ss and other programs like it can be used by powerlifters to maintain strength while cutting.
powerlifting is getting stronger and lifting more. the program has you doing that.
>>35169389
yes

You really don't know what it is a barbell to barely hold 4 plates, to have 15kg plates as the biggest increment (and only 10 of them for the whole gym), to have to bring your own jerk blocks in the gym just to deadlift properly etc etc

Seems better than bringing jerk blocks desu.
>>35169659
I remember a coupke of Finnish Frontex border guards guys coming to my gym and being totally disappointed. They actually came to train for like 3-4 sessions, outsquatted everyone there by 60-70kg and a left a permanent bend on the barbells with like 160kg.
>>35169693
There are no plates for "standard" 28mm barbells with a 45cm diameter. Largest ones are 36cm so you still have to use a 4,5cm block. And it would actually cost me quite much to buy them. Jerk blocks costed me 20 euros.
