I'm coming of having done 4-5 days/week fullbody, making decent gains. Was thinking of trying candito 6W, however it being Upper/Lower would drastically reduce my frequency. Anyone got any tips for making it fullbody, if you think it would be feasible etc. For example doing Squats + Upper Accesories one day, then Deadlift + Bench etc the other day?
>>35278051
just do it as written. the program works. I don't know what you've been doing it'll likely trade frequency for intensity.
I hate deadlifts
>>35278051
you'd probably be better off with the sheiko 4-day, but if you're set on candito 6 week you could split up the squat and deadlift so you do each 2x per week but on separate days, and then bench on each day you train. that'd also bump up the bench volume which is greatly needed

My feet were slipping when I was barefoot. Figured wedges can't hurt me that much.
>>35278253
Okay will begin after week one is in de beg. Day 2 done, feeling much less damaged overall than after Day 1. So far so good though. Finally going to not suck dog hogs at bench hopefully.
>>35278184
Mate. The improvement over a month, just because you finally got your ass on some kind of real-ish programming has been insane.
Proud of you BB.
>>35278184
>sumo pulling in heels
my god joe.
>>35278188
do it. bench or squat?
>>35278201
i really considered it, but wasn't willing to drop my current programming so i didn't.
>>35278255
can't pull sumo in heels or barefoot. really important to have some kind of shoe with good traction, like the meme shoes or specific pulling shoes like metal or sabo
>>35278305
also proud of joe for sticking with it and getting stronger.
>>35278305
Meh. Only squat improved.

>>35278354
Enough to break to break the ice
>>35278323
Binch, and I also asked about the RTS programming. My ugly ass grindy possibly spotter assisted 'max' was 230, using 210 for my week 1 percentages. Day 1 didn't feel too hard when I did the sets but my pecs and delts were totally fucked the day after and still felt pretty beat up earlier today. Still, after two warmup sets, today's 7x5 wasn't really that bad at all and I don't feel any soreness yet.
>>35278367
Its okay, you can tell me buddy
>>35278255
>Figured wedges can't hurt me that much.
they can
>>35278255
You figured wrong Joe, this is like powerlifting 101 stuff to be honest.
Bit the bullet and tripped because people sometimes are interested in my blogging, and this will decrease confusion. pls no bully
Day 63:
Home for the holidays, in commercial gym half a mile from my house. Past few days have been shit because the only gym in my girlfriend's hometown sucks assballs.
Squat: Worked up to 475 for a deep single, was a little slow. Need to set the hooks one hole lower because their bar gets bendy as fuck, and it makes the unrack difficult.
Bench: hit 275x2. Doing long pauses for my backoff work to try to get comfortable/strong at the bottom.
No GHRs, gonna do kettlebell swings or leg curls daily instead.
Trying to add 1 total rep to pull ups every day, wanna do 10 unbroken by the newyear.
>>35278414
How much backoff work are you doing?
>>35278414
Stealing my thunder hear t.b.h. lad. Actually I was hoping you'd start tripping because we don't have any other trips currently doing HIHF.
>>35278448
I autoregulate everything. Its usually only a set or two of 1-3. If I do a lot of work going up its minimal if any. If I PR or fail I'm done.
>>35278468
How you liking it smolov jr.?

>>35278397

Grow a pair.
They don't hurt that much.
Shit, for him, they might help.
>>35278414
>wanna do 10 unbroken by the newyear.
u got it lad
>>35278505
Day 2: good.
Day 1: fuuuuark.
Day 3 seems manageable, week 2 might be a motherfucker. We'll see. I'll keep stretching and massaging and hopefully not get tendinitis.
>>35278505
How hard do you go at a typical daily max? How often you go harder than usual for a PR?
On my 14th day of daily maxing now, feeling p fun after sheiko.
>>35278547
We'll see. I'm at 3/4 now and fat.
Which lifts are you doing it for?
>>35278565
I only really go hard on days I think I'll PR because everything feels easy, which is like once every 7-10 days. Its gotten to the point 90-95% isn't intimidating anymore, and is usually attainable if I feel good and focus. Most days I just want to go in and hit a certain submax number that slowly goes up over time.
I take it easy when I feel like shit. If 405 feels heavy and slow, that will be it for the day even though 455 is my typical minimum these days.
>joe will never deadlift more than you
>only squats more cause he squats memebar

>>35278751
For powerlifting purposes, and even for """general stremf""" purposes, how is highbar not a meme?

Be strong and/or have a very specific purpose
Is front squatting ipf legal lads? Would be top bants.

>>35278767
It's not, I checked once upon a time
>>35278779
Did this actually happen!?
>>35278109
Makes sense desu. Would that be Sheiko 4-day from their forums, or the app? Any real difference? Was thinking of running C6W just once first though, because of the progress people have seen on their squats doing it desu. Could probably squeeze out another 10 kg on my squatmax by doing an shorter program with a peak, from what I've gathered.
>>35278339
I'm testing maxes this week and if I don't out total you I'm shooting up /plg/

Sounds like training is going well. Glad you decided to trip and keep us updated.
I'm moving back to "high" frequency. However, I'm sick of feeling inconsistent in my Deadlift. Ergo, I'm alternating Squat and DL 6-7 days per week.
I'm also trying more variation movements to fortify until I begin another "peaking cycle" for a meet.
Basically picking a different variation and load protocol every session. Its kind of fun.

>>35279165
Question for you and others with severe buttwink: don't you completely lose tightness when it happens? I'm struggling with this atm. it doesn't feel like a question of "this looks problematic but feels fine," it feels just plain awful too. but if I force pelvic stability and super tight glutes throughout movement I can't hit depth.
>>35279202
Is that Fil spotting you?
>>35279224
>being a 110lbs twink
>>35279221
It's a half litre of Doppel
>>35279237
It's probably more an abs issue than a glutes/hips issue.
>>35279224
Is it true you were unable to deadlift the same day as squat, even though Joe could?
>>35279229
>Budda, you may as well fuckin trip, we can all tell when it's you.

>>35279237
>Question for you and others with severe buttwink
I have to say, I really thought this would be the case, but it isn't at all, which is why I'm kind of at peace with my "buttwink". I think you lose tightness when your lumbar is rounding under load, as opposed to your hips just noping out.
>>35279224
Holy fuck. What do you do when it's windy?
>>35279268
Stiff legs. Try to touch your toes. Now squeeze your abs like you're trying to take a shit. Now try to touch your toes.
>>35279265
>EIGHTY FIVE
Sean got laid recently?
I'm surprised that someone with a 225 max deadlift even has the guts to leave the house.
>>35279282

>>35279235

>>35279208
Just be careful with deadlift load, I'm only ever sore after the 1-2 days per week I deadlift.
If I had the resources I'd do more with loading and variation. I'm gonna end up periodizing with rep schemes and variations when I go back to school in january.

Poutine, no joking, you are a funny guy. Seriously. You make me smile erry time.
>>35279305
>Just be careful with deadlift load
Yeah, I'm keeping the single to 8 RPE (or just as the bar slows). Also, doing everything beltless right now, which limits the load. Feeling good :)
>I'm gonna end up periodizing with rep schemes and variations when I go back to school in january.

>>35279202
how does this oversized toddler with shit form move any weight wtf
Sup, /plg/. I just started lifting and for some reason whenever I do the OHP my left shoulder clicks on the way down.
It seems to go away when I lower the bar around my face as opposed to just lowering it. Do you know what could be causing it or how can I fix it?
There is no pain during the click, btw.
>>35279439
I sell beer part time when I'm at school. Someone came in and asked for one of those by name like 6 months ago. How is it?
>>35279560
Any pain otherwise? Weakness or instability?
I kind of take the bro approach and don't worry about stuff unless it hurts or effects performance.
>>35279608
>Any pain otherwise?
Just kind of a slight soreness right after I'm done.
>Weakness or instability?
I don't know how to describe it. It sort of feels like my left elbow rotates outwardly, I guess.
>>35279627
try to get it filmed next time you do it and look at it, try to see if there's an obvious imbalance or weird movement.
Since you're new you could be way out of balance left/right or have something out of whack with your scapula or something. People who don't even lift (and by extension new lifters) usually have shit posture and mobility through their hips and shoulders and never realize it.
>>35279608
>How is it?
Literally the greatest beer ever brewed. Absolute perfection in every way. It's the king of sours, and if you don't like it, you're not a fan of the style.
>>35279627
What do you do for warmup? Clicking on its own isn't really something to worry about, but when accompanied with pain we should begin to worry.
>>35279488
He's fuckin strong.
In my gym we call these lifters "bumblebees".
On paper, it's difficult to show a bumblebee can fly without defying some law of physics (Actually it isn't really, you can read a better explanation here: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/08/bumblebee-flight-does-not-violate-the-laws-of-physics/ but for the purpose of my post, let's assume the urban legend is correct) and yet look outside, and you can see one in flight.
Joe is a bumblebee. Joe defies the laws of Sheiko, Candito, and man.
Reading all this skills test hype when I'm two months out is painful.
>>35278228
Also knew him a bit from school. Wisco shout out.
Is he well known in powerlifting circles? I was surprised to see him here.
>>35279755
he's one of the top two strongest people in the world in his weightclass. so yeah, fairly well known
Just popped a cheeky Xanax lads
Probably have another one in a couple hours for maximum chill desu
>>35279771
I can't even fathom his strength really. Or rather the fact that he never seems to stall or his progress slow. He just continues to crush everything in his sight.
Do you think he's natty?
>>35279842
He takes creating he said in one of his videos
Is that on the WADA banned substances list?
If not then he's natty but if it is then he's a fraud
>>35279684
>What do you do for warmup? Clicking on its own isn't really something to worry about, but when accompanied with pain we should begin to worry.
I do jumping jacks, then I do my squats (with percentage warm up), then I warm up for my OHP beginning with 50% of my working weight, then 70%, then 90%. All for 5 reps.
This is a long shot, but is anyone here stationed at fort bragg?
>>35279917
Just for shits and gigs, the next time you're going to do OHP, Do shoulder dislocations with a broomstick, some facepulls with a band, and warmup with just the bar first.

John Haack is objectively better than Brutt Gubbs
240 pound 6' fatty here, been training for about 5 months using SL. How am I going?
Squat
115kg 5 x 5
Done a 3 plate squat as a ORM
Bench
80kg 5x4 (going for 5x5 today)
85kg ORM (done a while ago)
Deadlift
160kg 1 x 5
200kg ORM
Reasonable weights after that much training?
TL;DR r8 progress for 240 pound fatty training for 5 months
115/80/160 doing SL

Please share your unbeatable tests with the WADA.
I'm finally getting to the point where babby can't pull 5 reps double overhand on deadlifts (280lbs)
I want to use hook grip, but I can't figure it out. I watched leeman's ex-gf explain it and a few other vids, but it barely feels more secure than DOH. Also I think part of the problem is lack of chalk, planning on picking some up
Should I just give up on hook and use mixed grip? Am I just getting memed? Does anyone here actually use hookgrip for deadlifts?
I'm not that worried about >imbalances, I just like being higher in the starting position
>>35280671
righto cheers m8
>>35280444
>you can find him in the produce department at your local supermarket

Hook isn't actually any higher in the start position, as it happens.
You really need chalk for hook grip. Its also a bit more of an active hold than mixed or DOH, cranking down rather htan just letting the bar hang in your hands.
What happened to powerlifting? At least in my gym.
When I was going hard in powerlifting back in 2009-2011, all I need was a belt and chalk.
These people now I see in the gym have $100 Inzer belts, chalk, wrist wraps, elbow stabilizers, knee wraps, slingshots, bands, chains, $200 squat shoes, styrofoam they put on bench press bar to decrease ROM. How does all this shit help for competing in an actual competition?
>>35280470
I would still call this high bar.
>>35280671
Listen to Bordie
>>35280687
I'm of the mind that hook grip is a meme.
But I'm fuckin weak, so wtf do I know.
>>35280733
Are you world class?
>>35280733
Powerlifting has been like this since, oh, about the late 80s/early 90s when gear came into its own.
>>35280733
Bands, chains, and slingshots are useful training tools but I agree with the rest of it being bullshit
I'm in the gym just going hard and see some faggot decked out head to toe in IPF-approved gear with a brand new pair of squat shoes and I honestly feel sorry for those people
I don't know if they got meme'd into buying all that shit or if they think it will make them a better lifter but it's just pathetic as fuck
>>35280687
>280lbs
>higher starting position
bruh.
I spent a lot of time doing hookgrip with power cleans before I ever tried it with deadlifts. The key for me was to get the pad of your thumb directly under the bar, instead of just gripping with the thumbs inside. My thumb feels like it's rotated into a weird position so that the nail more-less facing the ground. Getting the thumb in deep like that also helps you get your middle finger locked in place.
Look at this picture
>>35280794
Yeah exactly. The pad should be interfacing with the bar, not your knuckle
>>35280786
This post brought to you by the Louie Simmons iron life club
>>35280786
If neither you nor he can understand how wraps would help a powerlifter, you're both beyond help.
>>35280687
I used to do hook grip. But then I brought my grip up a ton from my work, so I just alternate mixed, and have no troubles with grip even at maxes.
It takes practice, and you really have to squeeze and think about holding on. You need to try to get your thumb knuckle into a groove between two of your fingers. As you practice over a couple weeks you'll have little epiphanies where you figure out a way to change how your hand is positioned and your grip strength shoots up. It will start out about the same as DOH, but when you start really nailing it you will be as strong as or stronger than mixed.
>>35280794
Compare that to this picture, where the guy is just sticking his thumb in his fist like a downie trying to punch a handler. The thumb isn't supporting the bar at all.
>>35280786
For all the shit Westside gets, Louie Simmons had a point when he said "Don't have hundred dollar shoes and a ten cent squat."
>>35280824
What if I have $176 shoes and a 2.6x bw squat? What would he say about that? Pls respond or I'll have to email him and I don't really want to talk to him.
>>35280599
Haack is only 5'9
>>35280875
Gibbs claims 5'6" but is really 5'4", that's dwarf-tier
>>35280861
He'd probably make fun of you for not using a quintuple ply suit to squat 170000 lbs of chains in a split stance to a box three feet above parallel.
I don't like the guy from what I've seen of him, but I like that quote.
>>35280729
>Hook isn't actually any higher in the start position, as it happens
Really? Maybe it was placebo after hearing that somewhere and not being used it when I tried it
>You really need chalk for hook grip
Ah ok that makes sense. Without it my thumb was so slippery by the end of the set
Yeah I think I'm just going to switch to mixed. I think I would be further along if I hadn't been stubborn about it for whatever reason
>>35280794
>>35280802
I've been getting the thumb rotation more or less right I think. I have been trying to grip with primarily index and a little bit of middle though, that pic looks way more locked in on the middle
>>35280815
ok thanks. I'll keep working on it with powercleans so hopefully it'll eventually make sense
>>35280824
I agree to a point, but if your going to buy shoes and a belt you may as well spend the extra cash to get the good stuff; it'll last for decades anyways.
Wrapes, sleeves, etc. are just masturbation for a newbie
>>35280908
there's nothing wrong with mixed, but some people prefer hook grip when pulling sumo if that's how you roll.
>tfw no chemical to enhance height
>>35280925
Belt might be one case where its acceptable to skimp. A lot of people are gonna end up moving up a size by the time they're into the proper weight class.
>>35280941
Poke your own holes?
>>35280932
Specifically, the advantage with sumo is that it allows for a slightly narrower grip (with mixed, you generally have to take your supinated hand out slightly to prevent windmilling) which can get you a more effective stance width in some cases.
>>35280950
nevermind I'm a retard that's not how belts work
>>35280960
You can drill them pretty easily, though.
>>35280962
yeah, but if you grow out of a belt, there won't be any more belt left over to poke holes into. Holes are poked into belts if they're too big.
>>35280981
That's why you get an eight foot long belt, so you're covered from twink to yokozuna.
God, do you ever sit there and just feeeeel big? I fucking love it
What do you think lads?
>>35281113
2/10, not enough horizontal movement for Kaz.
>>35281061
Yes, but I'm 5'9 and 185lbs so I don't think I should.

>>35281113
I know you're not benching heels up laddy. I would say that that is a decent enough bar path though. pic related never made very much sense to me tBh

>>35281156
Except I am benching heels up. I won't start benching heels down until I know I'm signing up for usapl.
I want to see if that's his bar path consistently.
>>35281168
Ayyy lad.
Yea from Logan County going to toledo rn
>>35281154
sheit
>>35281206
Woops forgot trip.
Yea I've only ever found one other Ohio lad and he's all the way down in Cincinnati.
>>35281170
I don't know, it just seems really counter-intuitive that the bar path of elite lifters would be so weird. like on the way down, I totally understand. But then on the way up it seems like they go way back and the just press vertically to lock it out. just seems, idk, inefficient.
>>35279202
Something seems wierd about your elbows during the squat
>>35281253
Pretty sure it moves toward the head during the shoulder flare.
>>35281296
I feel like I failed you for not beating your maxes. I'm sorry. I'll try harder next time.
>>35281219
I only post here maybe once a month when I need a form check, otherwise I just lurk. Here at Kent gym chalk is forbidden and olympic lifts aren't allowed (even though they have 4 olympic platforms). Hardly anyone here actually lifts, most I've seen anyone squat parallel was just over 3 plates. I haven't been to any other college gyms, but I can imagine mine is a bit weird.
>>35278001
is that peter hitchens?
what is that meme from?

Sure, if you discount his shitty choice in women, coupled with his cringeworthy tendency to support her every fucking decision regardless of how shitty a person she's being at the time.

I don't think I've ever heard anything positive about her, unless you count people being positive she's shitty.
Hit 3 plate squat and 2 plate bench for the first time this week. Accomplished my 2015 goal of 3/2/4 plate total! Retesting my dead on Friday, if I can somehow manage to hit 460 it'll bring me to a 1k total for the first time. 6'0", 183lb, 22yrs old. Been training for around 2 years, serious pl training for around 1.
</blogpost>
>>35281665
>2 years
>those stats
I felt bad but now I feel better
It takes literally 2, 1/4 months to add a pl8 to your deadlift. A 4pl8 deadlift takes no longer than a year, should be less.
>>35281665
Its always good to hit PRs.
But don't be too down if your dead is well under 460. That'd be a fairly disproportionate deadlift even for a lanky guy.
>>35281677
How much do you weigh?
>>35281677
Fuck off with this arbitrary bullshit. Some people progress faster/slower than others. Linear projection only goes so far, otherwise everyone would be pulling 1000
>>35277843
Been high bar squatting, why the fuck do my hip flexor a hurt so much
>>35281717
Like 80kg and I diddy 4pl8 for 5 after a year.
>>35281731
No.
Linear progression lasts for years, adding 2.5kg a session may grind to a halt, but 2.5kg a week is LINEAR PROGRESSION.
Only women would stall at sub 4pl8 desu
>>35281741
High bar can stretch the hip flexors more than low bar for a bunch of reasons.
>>35281750
desu i cant tell if this is a meme or not, i only know like 5 ppl that can diddy 4pl8+ and of the ones that aren't fat or roiding, they've been training for years
>>35281677
Started from 140lb skelly, I'm pretty happy with my progress t b h. What're your stats?
>>35281687
Yeah, I'm hoping to hit 425, 460 is probably not gonna happen, but it is in the back of my mind. Had 405 for a not-so-pretty pull back in like march or april which was a good 1.5pl8 above my squat at the time.
Whats the name of that swolen former bodybuilder woman that is allowed to compete in the IPF? I need her to prove a point.
>>35281807
M8 i watched an 86kg girl put up 210kg on sunday in the tested division of my fed, and a couple of teen lifters 190+
>>35281752
Considering the hip flexors shorten in a squat not stretch im genuinely interested to hear these number of reasons
>>35281846
M8 dont worry, took me like 2.5 years
Lever, quick-release or prong belt?
Guy who tested negative on multiple at-meet tests + one unannounced 6AM visit at his house finally got busted. Junior sub-93kg benching 440
>>35281846
other anon here. good progress. took me atleast 2 years to DL 200kg
>>35279749
in my gym we just call it retard strength.
>>35281846
Only /fit/ obsesses about getting huge numbers as early as possible. That's why he gets so specific on how long they've trained. The only thing that matters is who's strongest, not who got to 4-plate first
>>35282033
anyone?
>>35280733
in 2009-2011 equipped powerlifting was still the norm so you actually saw powerlifters in squat suits, knee wraps, bench shirts, boards (1-4 of them), wrist wraps, elbow stabilizers, bands, chains, maybe squat shoes but maybe not, 100 inzer belts, lacross balls, and gloves.
>>35280786
lol
>>35281807
not trying to be rude, progress is progress, but a 405lb deadlift does NOT take years of training, being fat, or roiding lad.
>>35282196
good
>>35282249
only /fit/ and powerlifters in a specific age class lad.
>>35282280
LELja (ielja) strik lad. she's in the OP pic
Yo boys, just checking in on some progress.
Started PL training back in May. Was at 275 lbs / 205 / 365 to start at 175. Now at 455 / 290 / 520 @ 195. Would you guys consider this decent progress?
>>35282312
that's very very good progress yes.
>>35282300
Not for a 1RM, but repping it can take a while, depending on how young you are, and your leverages
>>35282314
Yeah I train 6 days a week, eat like a 500+ cal surplus to try and fit into the 205 class while keeping my frequency to 3 squat 3 bench 2 ohp and 2 dl + bodybuilding hypertrophy garbage for my back and bench meat.
>>35282317
i disagree desu. shouldn't take more than a couple months to go from 405 for a 1rm to 405 "for reps". and the original poster didn't mention reps at all.
>>35282322
keep it up lad. always makes me sad when i think about how i'll never add 400lbs+ to my total in a year ever again in my life.
6 days a week sounds murderous. 4 days of sheiko are killing me rn
>>35282328
I'm used to killing my body now. Putting up over 320k tonnage a month; similar to sheiko. da fuck is with all the slang here, never been lol.
>>35282328
Shit my bad. I was reading another post about repping it for 5. I struggle repping 420 for 5, even though I can deadlift over 500.
>>35282348
yeah i'm up around 330k a month as well. idk just thread culture i guess tBh
>>35282352
really? that's a pretty big gap
>>35282124
Who are you?
>>35282362
I got long-ass legs, and I'm lifting sumo, dunno if that matters.
>>35282370
310kg deadlift
Not much else
>>35282362
Yeah I prefer more frequency to spread out the volume so I can attack the workouts fresh every time. I find focusing on more than two barbell movements a workout fucking sucks for technique practice.. LAD.
>>35282399
i only do two barbell movements a workout as well. unless you count like pause deadlifts and block pulls separate from just regular deadlifts. or silly accessory movements like lunges. but yeah i understand your approach, my hips are always still feeling beat up from my previous deadlift session. i've given up on feeling fresh
