Fatty checking in.
>>35288597
...believe when I see it
>>35288602
Going to try hit some 1 rep PRs tomorrow before my training is fucked by the holidays and to benchmark 2016.
tried some yoga today lads, did mainly some postural stuff, not much stretching, felt great, I think I'll keep on doing it once a week
>>35288602
squatted 340x8 which is sort of a PR, did some light bench since I tweaked something in my upper chest/clavicle area, and then some calf raises.
>>35288602
Went to the gym after my 9am exam and did some accessories between sheiko days.
Barbell Rows
Incline Bench
Face Pulls
Tricep Pushdowns
Curls
Back Extensions
>>35288524
How I would do it, and you gotta understand I would take this with a grain of salt because I've never done HIHF. But what I would do is periodize specificity. So say you squat and bench 6 times a week. For the first month I'd comp squat 2/week and do variations the other 4 days. For bench more like 3/3. Then next month 4 comp squats/week, then all comp squats/week then deload and max out.
Also you could still periodize volume but if this is your first time doing HIHF I wouldnt add any back off sets for the first 2 weeks atleast. I'd get my volume on the working up to the singles doing pseudo working sets until I hit that single.
lads i squat 200kg
but 120kg 3x10 wreaked me
is this normal? i know my high rep endurance is pitiful but 120kg? shit son
>>35288621
>>35288700
Yes. I find that the weight doesn't really make a difference, high rep sets wreck me anyway.
>>35288675
>first 2 weeks atleast. I'd get my volume on the working up to the singles doing pseudo working sets until I hit that single.
This is exactly what I've done for 15 days now. Going to have a couple of light days and go for a max before christmas. After holidays I think I'll go for a 12 week cycle periodizing volume and specifity to some extent.
Thanks for the advice friend.
>>35288755
No worries, I'm actually writing a new program right now. Not HIHF tho.
>>35288794
>The new and improved avon program, now with 200% more injuries
>>35288752
well that makes me feel a bit better
felt abit shit about it Tbh
was just fucking about for a week after a meet and thought i would just try to do some easy high rep shit, way harder than expected lol
was thinking of getting 15 reps going into it
dont even think i can be bothered to work on it Tbh
was probably norris fault for posting those vids of his repping out
>>35288820
Got something to do with how you train. You see all these people doing 8s on some weight and then they can barely do one rep if they put on 10 more kg. Same way with people who train more in the lower rep ranges, high reps feel awkward and heavier then it should
>>35288858
at least the gymbros i talk to werent around to see me gassed lol
starting clutz program next week to see if i can still be an intermediate
anybody want to share any input on it?
>>35288975
SQ: gained 10 lbs
BP: gained 10 lbs
DL: gained 10 lbs
Lower portion fairly forgettable but I did like training fullbody every day. One thing I dropped like a hot potato was the alternate stance deads on Friday aka the day before the actual heavy comp deads. Bench programming was good (i.e. a big pile of volume).
anyone have that pic of shirtless isley with like 4+ girls surrounding him

>>35289058
do you remember you lifts?
>Lower portion
the flys and back work?
>alternate stance deads on Friday
was thinking of making the secondary 1&2 squats Tbh, more like shieko if nothing else, probably move on to that
so only paused deads wed and comp deads sat
>>35289121
not trying to make a meme, just asking lad
just wanting a program to see if i can still be an interediate after not really training with much of a structure for a while, and i like the look of it
pls dont get upset
>>35289205
>>Lower portion
>the flys and back work?
Squats and deads. Any sick gainz made on that program would be primarily because you busted your balls for the PR on test day more than because the programming was great. I don't really remember, mid 300s, I think 225 going in, and I remember 395 for deads because I did pull 4pl8 at the end.
>>35289246

Hes probably going to spout something about you jug need to work harder and genetics don't exist. If only you read more books and articles you'd be so much stronger.
>>35289660
I just find it funny that the VERY FIRST THING you blame it on is genetics. You have great form, your discipline outside the gym is amazing, your training is on point and you never take sets off. It's clearly your genetics and not anything else right?
>>35289678
>genetics dont exist
kek of course they do but blaming miss-steps at such an early training stage on genetics is ridiculous.
>>35289723
>I just find it funny that the VERY FIRST THING you blame it on is genetics. You have great form, your discipline outside the gym is amazing, your training is on point and you never take sets off. It's clearly your genetics and not anything else right?
I work as hard as I can, I spend most of my free time lifting, studying or on /plg/ learning about lifting and programming. What more is needed of me?
Seriously, I'm open to suggestions but I do believe that I'm working my hardest to be disciplined in and out of the gym, improve my form, and I literally haven't been in the gym less than 4 times a week since may when I was sick for 2 weeks.

>>35289752
Well then just keep plugging away chief. It took me almost a year to go from 295-300lb bench then all of a sudden it blew up from 300-315 in 3 months. And I was working my ass off to increase my bench when it was stalling. Sometimes it just takes a while to break down those walls.
>>35289785
Why are you still obsessed with BenchBro when he rarely even posts anymore
>>35289814
Nice try Joe
>>35289793
but what is my excuse for such shit progress? genetics surely?
looked at my stats from july, atleast my gains have been faster and faster as time goes as opposed to the opposite
5mo progress:
bw: 79kg > 90kg
squat: 95kg > 120kg
bench: 77.5kg > 85kg
deadlift: 125kg > 160kg
total: 297.5kg > 365
>>35289827
In your mind is everyone who addresses you Joe or some other trip?
>>35289882
Kill yourself Joe
>>35289850
There are so many fucking variables
Form
Bodyweight
Stress
Program
Weaknesses
Mentality
Time Training
I know for a motherfucking fact you dont have all of those things shored up. I dont think anyone should even THINK about blaming their results on genetics until they've trained for 2-3 years. Also your progress is fine dude, maybe not on bench but you'll figure it out.

You've basically been making the same kinds of gains as I did earlier. I do think that it's more common than you think, you just see those bragging about making insane gains.
However in just the past 2-3 months, I've gone from 125>152.5 SQ, 80>90 kg BP, 150>175 DL. I just sort of made a big jump in volume, and a taper, and the gains just started raining down on me. This last period basically outpaces all of my previous progress, even my newbie linear gains.

What's "slight"?
One of my biggest problems with Cadytoe's 6 week is his section on diet. The whole "you don't need to eat that much I don't even track calories blah blah blah" is just fucking ignorant. His idea of "slight" is enough to gain half a lb to a lb a week, so you best be getting 300-500 calories ontop of your TDEE+caloric requirment for your workouts. Too many people underestimate how many calories lifting heavy shit burns, so don't forget to factor that in.
When diagnosing failings in programming always approach in the following order:
FOOD - Am I eating enough? (TDEE+exercise+bulk)
SLEEP - Am I getting eight hours? Not eight hours in bed, mind you, eight hours of quality sleep.
EFFORT - Am I pushing myself as hard as I can? Could I have gone a little harder and pulled a grind?
BAD DAY? Shit happens. If it's a one time thing, chalk it up to bad voodoo.
PROGRAMMING? If all else has failed, now you can take a look at your programming.
>>35290839
i am eating 400 cal more but it might be sleep since i only slept 4 hours last night do to work should i try tomorrow or lower the weight?
>>35290854
>4 hours
Jesus tapdancing Christ, you had to ask us what the problem is? How can you even fucking function, let alone lift heavy shit?
You should do neither. You fucked up your workout because you can't figure your fucking shit out for sleep. You should get eight hours, and continue on with the program.
If eight hours is something you can't do for sleep, you need to jump off C6W; there is no way someone can function at that kind of training with less than %50 sleep.
>>35290839
I can believe that Candito is both right and wrong about the whole "you don't need to eat that much" thing. From his point of view, he doesn't eat that much. He's just used to judging things by how much strength athletes in general eat and Candito is both pretty light and fond of lower-ish volume training.
Compared to the regular sedentary guy, even a 165lb competitor at the elite level eats like a monster.
>>35290787
>Rye tonight
Triggered
Literally every liquor store where I live is sold out of this, and none is coming in til after Christmas. The fuckers who buy it don't even fucking know who Jim Murray is, they just think "This must be amazing cause it got Whisky of the year!"
You fucks wouldn't even know a Speyside from a Welsh Malt if it dick punched you, Get the fuck outta here
>>35290879
You've done a much more eloquent job of explaining what I was trying to. Candito is very ignorant of the habits of most people hopping on his program.
>>35290839
Unless you're super underweight you should not have to be gaining weight to gain strength.
>>35290889
I'll be sure to buy a bottle then pour it down the drain
>>35290908
And I mean super underweight by PLing standards just to clarify. Like if your 6ft 170lbs you should not have to gain weight to gain strength. Maybe you should gain weight but it's not necessary to running a routine. And any routine that REQUIRES you to gain weight is a terribly programmed.
>>35290908
This is wrong
There will come a point where you need to put on mass in order to get stronger and that point is a lot sooner than most people think
>>35290933
Is this a hacked Sean trip?
>>35290948
He's right though. I was actually at that height and weight and doing fine for a long while.
>>35290923
You know Sean, the idea of you being so spiteful as to pour the one thing you probably hold dear down the sink, warms the cuckles of my heart.
>>35290908
Very true. The "bulk" in my equation should be specified to be optional. However, if you're not eating enough to fuel your life, and your training, your training is going to suffer greatly.
>>35290956
That doesn't mean anything
>>35290948
It's not entirely wrong. Recomping is a big part of a proper training cycle.
>>35290966
That's not true at all. Anecdotes prove, for example, that it isn't universally untrue. Since he said "have to" (i.e. not required) then it's especially relevant.

>>35290839
>PROGRAMMING? If all else has failed, now you can take a look at your programming.
Too many people on this board neglect this. Programming is often last on the "list-o-fuckups" that they should be looking at.
So why you faggots so against gear? If you just ran a little test you'd be a freaking beast and test is natural. I got a buddy who has been powerlifting for like 7 years and really dedicated his life to it 100% and it's sad that I've been power lifting maybe 2 years now and I'm not far off his numbers. Feel bad for you natty bros
>>35291038
>So why you faggots so against gear?

Terrible.
Its like 40 degrees Celsius here and they turned off the air conditioning. Literally sliding off the bench from sweat.

Lads i'm planning to compete in February it's my first competition, is there a good book/website/video to just give you tips on what to bring/do etc...
It's a local comp btw so nothing serious.
Fucking shit lads, I really fucked up my biceps (arm wrestling).
I never thought it could be this bad, one would think heavy lifting prepares you for that.
Anyways, what can I do to recover them quickly?
Feels like I strained the biceps tendon - not sure though.
>>35292336
Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation for three days. No heavy lifting for three days. Rest. After three days, start rehabbing with curls, very light, very high reps. I also had a ton of success with pic related. Those first three days of P.R.I.C.E are very important though. Gotta let the bleeding stop.

And curls only after 3 days yea? Thought maybe earlier, but it does make sense.
>>35292400
>I am unsure if I want to go for warmth or cold (ice)?
Warmth can happen after day three. The name of the game here is to reduce the swelling. Ice on for five, off for five. Don't ice for longer than five minutes.
>>35292400
>I was thinking about putting my sleeves on
This is a great idea

Yeah. Assuming that there are rips in the muscle belly, there will be bleeding, and we want to give those blood vessels lots of time to heal up.
So for your first day of recovery, do 3 sets of 25 curls with maybe a ten lb bar. Increase the weight every session. Stop if you feel any pain.

haven't gotten tested, got shoulder and back definition, but only my top 2 abs show.
so prob like 25%
>hurt knee doing leg extensions 6 days ago after squats
>3 days ago
>go for 305 5x3
>warm up, 295 for a single felt heavier than 310 3 prior
>go to deads instead, only hit 405 for a fucking single
Got 285 5x5 tomorrow then hoping for a 425 pull afterwards; wish me luck lads.
>>35292551
It's too late for you, extensions gave you knee AIDS. You'll have to be a bench specialist.

fuck sake already soak everything in lard, guess it's time to add pack of cookies a day
>>35292448
Sorry for late response, was driving car.
I was thinking the sleeves make it warm so it's kind of contradicting to the "cool it" part, you know?
Cool it's just once for a periods of times (broken down into those 5min intervals you mentioned) or throughout the entire day?
>>35292738
Add cheese to everything, and what isn't good with cheese add guac or peanut butter.
>>35292753
peanut butter is pricey as fuark here, cheese may be good tho
>>35292739
The warming effect from the sleeves is mostly negligible. The compression is going to really help.
Ice on an off five and five for twenty minutes (2 on, 2 off) a few times a day. No need to be doing it all day, two or three times should suffice.
I also personally avoid Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory drugs, because quite a few of them thin the blood which seems counter intuitive to me, but you may find they help ease the pain.
>>35292773
Thanks Joe, I'll dream about that while I sleep.
Gnight lads.
>>35292773
That looks really good. Too bad it would go over my kcal cap for the day all by itself. ._.
>>35292775
I see, makes sense, thanks!
I am considering arcoxia, expensive shit and family of docs all say it's the best way to go for inflammation.
But I'll see how the treatment goes first.
>>35292787
GNight bully.
>>35292773
Looks kinda like my breakfast.
Is a Singlet mandatory if you're competing?
>>35292891
Generally yes.
>>35292891
Yes. There are only four mandatory clothing items you need for powerlifting.
A singlet/all in one/soft suit
A cotton T shirt (for squat and bench)
An pair of knee high socks (for deadlift)
And some kind of "athletic shoe" with work boots and dress shoes explicitly forbidden

>>35293006
I'm going for my first comp and have always been training with long ass joggies and just a t-shirt should I get these and train in them?
>>35288700
My 1rm is about 170kg and I just did 120kg 5x8 today. It was tough but nothing too bad. You may need to some cardio lad
r8 my starting position
>ok ;) :) :D :D =) )D;D
why do people chat like this
and in serious pl question why do you get more gains when you do everything wrong as opposed to right? i swear down every time i decide to neglect form and do retarded programming my lifts fly up
>>35293296
looks good and strong like kk
>>35293371
if doing it wrong works more than doing it right doesn't that make doing it wrong right?
>>35293505
it would but afraid of just fucking my shit up, was lucky for a good while but it'd eventually run out

Because in communicating with others through text formats sometimes tone is ambiguous so the pattern of using emotes to convey the appropriate tone is learned and sometimes even gets used in Amish amigurumi note-posting signs.
ok, i have a question /plg. so i have a few PL meets under my belt (6) and i was looking into equipped power lifting. the 2nd meet i did had a guy in my weight class (90kg) squatting 800+ in a multiply suit. i know it will take some time to get used to lifting with a suit and getting in and out of it and the cost, i just want to know 3 main things
1. any suggestions as to what to buy for a beginner in equip power lifting ( bench shits, squat brief, squat/DL suit?)
2. any suggestions for a routine to ease into equip? ( i was aiming to start The Cube, or should i go back to SS to learn how to use the stuff?
3. any other helpful hints as to going from Raw to Equip?
>>35293710
Are you ready to be covered in bruises and marks, and have your lifts be painful as fuck?
Pic related, triceps after benching
>>35293739
yes.
>>35293710
Why would you want to lift equipped? Not hating, just don't understand it.
>>35293710
desu unless you're on gear, geared lifting is just silly and a waste of time.
>>35293771
Well, then I can just say, you get the most out of your suit, if you go towards the pain. Optimally, it should feel like your arms/legs are burning at the bottom of the lift
>>35293772
to lift crazy weights in comp and prepare my neurological system for such weights.
>>35293798
but is it really you lifting it or the gundam suit you put on in order to do so?
>>35293809
never seen a suit lift something by itself....
>>35293710
Find a crew. Learning the gear without help is fucking hard and its extremely difficult to train in gear solo. But as for buying stuff, start at the low end, or at least moderate (this again is where experience helps) because there's no point splurging on the tightest pro gear you can get if nothing you can lock out will ever go down against it.
You'll also tend to find that, outside of dedicated technique work in the gear, most of your training layout stays pretty similar. The exact lifts might change (because your weaknesses will be radically different in gear) but you're not going to be doing a lot of super heavy gear work until you get close to a meet. Usually.
aaarrrrrghhhhhhh penis COCK FUCK!!!!!!
>>35292803
sleep tight porker
How many of you lift equipped vs raw?
>>35294116
Afaik there are fewer than 5 regular posters including myself who lift equipped and everyone else is exclusively unequipped.
Equipped is not popular.
>>35293710
Try buying a titan f6 for your first bench shirt, probably a titan centurion for your first squat suit and deadlift with it as well. Size is very important. I can't really help because it's very individual but if you tell me your height and weightclass I'll make an educated guess. Buy 2m knee wraps from inzer or titan.
And lift in the usapl.
>>35294231
>tfw want to try equipped but lack the financial means
>>35294278
Iktf before I got a job
Are you in the UK?
>>35294282
nah in swe, am a student
intending on joining a pretty good PL gym next semester but that'll have me paying for 2 gyms + travel card
leaves just about zero for expensive PL gear
>>35294278
Equipped isn't that expensive, unless you happen to live in the arse end of the world.
>>35294295
as described in the post above i'm capped financially for a while, unless i want to reduce diet to nothing but beans and potatoes
>>35294305
What weightclass are you?
Going to attempt 185kgx5 on the squats today, any tips with regards to warm ups, pre workout nutirition, stretching, etc.?
>>35294329
93kg, about same height as you iirc (180cm)
bw is 88kg atm
>>35291269
Ayy lad, that was me. Makes sense.
This might be a retarded question, but how tight should collars like these be? I've tried screwing in the knurled part to tighten up the plates and the bar got a totally different feel to it, it felt almost weird.
Do the loaders usually tighten these hard at meets?

I'd send you my 44 f6 for £40 if you can afford that? It'll fit you and you'll eventually be able to touch with it.
I tried (semi) sumo DL for the first time last week. It felt pretty good and i didn't rush it, recorded myself to see that my lower back is good and that my hips don't shoot up etc.
So what happened after a few sets is that i started to feel light pain in my left hamstring while pulling. After that i have felt it only while stretching (hands to toes) or while deadlifting. It really makes DL feel unpleasant, although i don't feel it outside the gym.
Opinions? What do.
>>35294824
sure sounds good
>>35294866
You were not warmed up enough. I get that with squat sometimes if I rush warmups
cross your feet standing up and touch your toes
Then cross your feetthe other direction standing up and touch your toes
Then report back here

>>35294887
>>35294878
Ok. Is it somewhat serious? Should i take a week off from DL's or can i just go if i make sure to warm up enough.
Also, how should i warm up for sumo?
>>35294890
I don't have fb, do you have a MySpace?
>>35294887
I don't feel anyhing in my hamstrings, but i feel a nice stretch in my adductors (not painful)
>>35294890
i sold my superkat for what i paid for it, the guy posted a vid this morning, he hit a pr first time out, i couldnt touch 180 yet he benched 165 in it
reaaaaaly didnt fit me
my next foray into eq will just be some briefs to squat and dead from time to time, no more than that for me pal
>>35294928
That makes no sense desu you're doing it wrong
>>35294940
I crossed my legs like this X, keeping feet in same line, but i didnt feel it in my hamstrings? How wide or narrow do you mean, and do my feet have to be in same line?
I have a good hamstring flexibility, i can easily put my fists to ground and it doesn't feel much.
>>35294940
Ok i probably now figured out how to feel tension in hamstrings in that positiob, by leaning a bit backwards for greater ROM. It didn't feel painful, but the stretch was ok
>implying powerlifting isn't dangerous, embarassing, and for faggots
>>35294976
The fact that this vs. thing is posted only by 1pl8 ATG squat "oly lifters", makes me want to avoid that side. Insecurity over 9000.
>>35294968
It's a more extreme version of the normal hamstring stretch you did tho so it should have been more painful
Did you do both legs?
>>35294996
I squat 295 tho to be honest family
>>35294999
I did. Does this mean, that it wasn't anything serious?
>>35295014
show a vid or it didnt happen
>>35295014
Then you are just insecure. Its not like you should feel inferior because you want to squat HB style. Its a nice way to squat if you dont want to train for pure strength / PL.
There's no need to attack pple with different goals. Stop defending yourself so hard m8.
>>35295018
this is plg, unless he meant kg we dont need a vid
>>35295018
>>35294900
Take a few days off, but with proper warmup you should be alright unless you actually pulled or tore something, which I doubt.
As for warmups, anything that gets your legs warm and prepared. Stationary bike, goblet squats, light squats, reverse hypers, hypers aso.
>>35295033
i assumed he meant kg
295lb is a fucking hilariously shitty squat
>>35295054
you were shitting on 1pl8 squatters
I'm well into the 2pl8 and almost 3pl8 category tho
I doubt you squat more than 315lbs
>>35295064
>I'm well into the 2pl8 and almost 3pl8 category tho
lol
fucking olyboos
>>35295064
>I'm well into the 2pl8 and almost 3pl8 category tho
congrats on your first 6 months lifting, keep at it lad
>>35295086
>6 months
thats a bit much for 315lb unless he weighs ~120lb or less
