Fuck off mods, go delete the other threads that are shitting up the board. At least some of the stuff posted here is productive.

Who here stretches?
Dear Mods,
Please delete everything not related to health and fitness. It really is better that way. Thank you for the good work that you do.
Going to unironically start intermittent fasting for a few weeks lads, come at me.

I do some dynamic mobility.
Limber 11, Agile 8, some stuff by Bryce Lewis.
Not really much of an "after lift stretch for your own good" guy though.
Pro-tip:
If you're mad that a /fit/ janitor/mod cleaned up non-fitness threads/comments, then you're a fucking loser that needs to find friends.
Talk about lifting. When you're done, go somewhere else like /soc/ or /rk9/ or /mlp/ and be autistic somewhere else.
Fucking nuggets.
>>35321722

Don't worry it's abundantly clear who the friendless loser here is :^)

I mean it works aight.
Regardless of whatever "science" is involved, it's way harder to get a lot of calories in in the time you give yourself.

That's what I figure. It's not really going to be IF either, maybe on rest days, but I'll probably still eat a small protein only breakfast most days.

Captain poutine is the weakest trip on here. Maybe he shouldn't trip.

Clarence 661 paused back squat.
>>35321985
>poutine is the weakest trip
He's breddy strong, funny, helpful, and actually lifts. He is literally the model trip.
Ergo, fuck off, s***.
Why do my topkek100s smell so stinky in the toilet?
>>35321994
Trip on Captain, your ship has already sailed ;)
I've been gone from /fit/ from a while. Is Supermang still a thing?

So he finally killed himself or what?
I'm not a huge fan of beltless work...
But my most recent session was a heavy front squat single with 4x6@70%.

>>35322026
I don't know who any of these people are.
Are all/most powerlifters on a constant bulk? Most people that I know or see who powerlift have that kinda chubby look to them, if you know what I'm talking about. Liek, they aren't similar to body builders, because bodybuilders are going for looks, so there's a constant state of bulking and cutting. But since the goal of Powerlifting is to increase the amount of weight moved, there shouldn't really be any reason to go on a cut, since the goal isn't aesthetic, right? Or am I missing something?
>Captcha: Select all the pizzas
>>35322080
Nah.
My beltless single was 355 at 8.5 RPE, and the volume work was at 250.
That ain't too bad for some schmoe powerlifter, IMO.
>>35322091
>Most people that I know or see who powerlift have that kinda chubby look to them
That's called "being a man".
Seriously, once you're out of your early 20's, you can put on enough muscle to actually thicken up.
Don't be a body-dismorphia kid.
>>35322091
Provably the most retarded question you could've ever asked

>>35322105
That didn't really answer my question at all.
>>35322144
Optimal body fat for strength sports is between 12 and 20% (there is a lot of outliers, though).
You eat to recover. The more calories, the harder you can train.
You only cut or recomp to hover in your weight class. It's not like guys literally bulk forever.
However, the calories necessary to fuel a 308 guy training heavy is hard to imagine for a beginner or smaller guy.
Why can nobody realize the thread got deleted because sean got banned again and he was the OP
>>35322091
Yeah most powerlifters are fat and hairy
>>35322181
You ever been to a meet?
Literally 75% of the lifters are otter to built-mode.
Maybe 25% are really filling out their frame and/or "fat".
The hair is a result of the testosterone ;)
>>35322174
Because everyone is a fucking newfag fresh over from Reddit and they don't know that when people get banned any threads that they made get deleted
>>35322091
if ur good family at powerlifting then ur lean to fit a weight class with the moast muscle you can have but if ur a fat shit then u wont compete well except at superheavyweight
>>35322221
105kg and up you can be pretty fat and still do well
>>35322164
Thank you, that was more along the lines of what I was wondering.
So the main reason most PLs cut is for competition reasons, and not strength reasons. That's neat to know.
>>35322283
>the main reason most PLs cut is for competition reasons, and not strength reasons
Correct.
Unless they're having crippling self-esteem issues from little teenie boppers calling them fat, in which case they may "vanity cut".
I think working a full time job is dumb!
>>35322316
Bah.
Bullshit. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
When you get used to staying busy, you waste less time.
I train harder when working 40-70 hours per week than I do when I'm off. The issue is recovery, tho.

What can I do to get rid of this smell pls help this topkek100 is ruining my life

>>35322091
With the caveat that weightclasses exist. If they're competing, most power guys have to cut down to be competitive.
For the people who just have it as a hobby, you're kinda right. Depends on the goals I guess.

No
Honestly if you're not doing STEM or going to a top business school where it will be the connections you make that are important and not the material taught then you shouldn't go to college
>>35323335
Cant believe people fall for this kinda shit
>>35323335
>>35323428
No hes not.
Everywhere in the world education level correlates with an on average higher pay. The base level in most tech jobs is higher and a lot of financial proffessions have higher deviations due to some people earning a shit ton.
There is literally no empirical evidence ever to suggest that not going to school is a better idea with regards to future pay
>>35323488
>ignores debt
>ignores lost earning time while getting degree
>ignores higher education exists in areas with higher pay and assumes falsely that higher education is the cause of higher pay
>>35323510
Forgot about the muricans
Here in europe you can actually go to university without racking up tonns of debt.
That third argument makes no sense. I knoe that correlation =/= causation but use your logic here. Most high paying jobs require a good degree. You really think people working at NASA or some hedgefund also happen to have good education and that its just sheer coincidence that these people are in these positions?
>>35323546
>thinks people at NASA have high pay
can we please not have an education debate. It's worse than the thread being dead.
If I could do it all again, I'd go into the trades.
Electrician, plumber, carpenter, tuckpointer, etc.
Good wage, decent hours, and labor that can make a man sleep well at night.
>>35323546
You know who works for NASA?
STEM majors
You know who works for hedge funds?
People with STEM degrees and people who got the right connections in the business school that they attended

"Off-season squats".
Silent Mike confirmed for browsing /plg/.
>>35323761
>Off-season
this is pretty common everywhere but here desu
you got all these people running sheiko after sheiko, taking no time between comps
gonna be a lot of burn out and injuries this next 5-6 months...
>>35323931
Talking of which: UPDATE ON C6W FUCKING WHEN rrrrrreeeeeeee speed up johnnie
what is everyone doing today? Pretty hype after my skills test last week now that I know sheiko isn't just memeing me. Also, about 4 weeks out from a meet so I'm pretty excited about lifting rn. Also probably because I have almost literally nothing going on in my life besides lifting and the packers
>>35324148
Did you update your maxes after testing?
>>35324167
yes.
>>35324148
>>35324148
i must have missed your video, please post it
>>35324185
I added in the last time I hit each of the input maxes for comparison, so that's why the first squat, bench, and deadlift are in different places than the rest of the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtPAkFSo56Y
Lads.
Chankonabe pot 3 was EXTREME
Holy fuck, best Chanko yet. Prawns, meatballs, tofu, so many veg
I feel the sumo power running through me. Gonna just crush frontsquats tomorrow.
>>35324198
And that was only 8.5 weeks of sheiko?
Damn.
The difference in form was immense, especially in your diddly and squat depth.
>>35324215
Did you ever decide on front squats setxreps?
My gym is closing for two weeks, should I do anything to maintain or just let it pass?
>>35324265
Yeah, probably going to take the noob gains train and go for good ol 3x5.
It's accessory work after all.
>>35324271
Eat and sleep like fuckin crazy.
>>35324257
>And that was only 8.5 weeks of sheiko?
yeah, believe me, I was stunned the weights moved as easily as they did, especially squat. skills test was the first time in like 3 months I had anything over 85% on my back. Thought it would be fucking impossible to hit 100% again like that.
>The difference in form was immense, especially in your diddly and squat depth.
yeah, squat depth was a pretty major concern for me the whole time tBh. and as for deadlift form, yeah it's crazy how much better it looks. I think bench form has also improved a fuckton too, just the camera angle is less than ideal in the skills test video.
>>35324148
This is tomorrow
Two weeks until skills test pretty hype t b h
>>35324315
So you've been sold on Sheiko?
>>35324148

>>35324336
>>35324198
Why don't some of the frequent anons such as you two trip?
I think if more of us tripped we'd have less Sean issues.
>>35324331
it's weird af to me that you train in the US (so I assume with imperial unit plates), but have your app running in kg. Looks like a comfy session though. none of that wonky squat-bench-squat stuff.
>>35324335
I would say so, yes. Although I don't plan just running it indefinitely because injuries and burnout are things, so I think after my upcoming meet my plan will be to do like 2 weeks or so of lighter workloads or something before starting up another cycle of sheiko. I have no other plans for meets in the distant future, but once I get some plans I will likely start another sheiko accordingly.
>>35324336
>double digit reps in one set
gl
>>35324354
I don't think I'm strong enough or knowledgeable enough to be that worthwhile of a trip. would likely just be another "why do you trip" person.
>>35324403
>I don't think I'm strong enough or knowledgeable enough to be that worthwhile of a trip. would likely just be another "why do you trip" person.
this is a reasonable stance, but I think the community thing is pretty important too desu

I've determined that I reaaaally want to make chanko some time during winter break. Sounds dope.
>>35324403

>>35324427
Pal, it is glory. Just pure glory.
Squats from friday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee4-DiuvaW4
These looked solid but my back was in pretty severe pain. I most definitely can't and dont need to be doing this much squat volume. Next cycle I'm toning it down like crazy.
>>35324354
fuck off
people bringing up sean out of nowhere are probably sean
>>35324403
I'm so used to it now I use kg and lbs interchangeably. I'm set for a 5pl8 squat if I hit 105% yeeee
>>35324403
>I don't think I'm strong enough or knowledgeable enough to be that worthwhile of a trip. would likely just be another "why do you trip" person.
> strong enough or knowledgeable enough
HA!
I just do it because I like being remembered, and because I like keeping random people updated on my gym progress and shoulder mobility issues...?
On second thought yeah, this is pretty dumb.
Is there such a thing as different stiffness levels for neoprene?
>Site has three "grades" of knee sleeves
>Least stiff to most stiff
>All 7mm SBR neoprene
>All same length and design
Not sure if extra $20 for top level ones is going to change anything.
>>35324354
A few reasons.
>I'm not a powerlifter
>Spares me from the constant shitposts directed at trips
>Everyone knows it's me when I post about training anyway (Spoto, slingshot, block pulls, SSB)
Of course, the last one means I might as well, but whatever.
>>35324403
>double digit reps in one set
>gl
It was pretty easy. I'd probably just run off and join the French Foreign Legion if I had to do that for squats/deads though.
>>35324438
I just don't think that strength/knowledge is the only worthwhile metric of "should you trip or not." Trips like poutine, boardshorts and joffrey aren't incredibly strong but they are likeable folks, bring a sense of familiarity and community to our general.
>>35324448
>that chart
who could this be...
>>35324468
>joffrey
Has a 400 wilks, lad.
>>35324468
Joffrey IS strong though...
Does Bodorio have the heaviest squat in plg?
>>35324452
>if I hit 105%
gl mane, I hope you kill it.
>>35324454
:^)
>>35324468
meh, I have been toying with the idea of tripping for a while, but ehh, I don't really see much of a point tBh. A lot of people can tell when I am posting now, so that's good ig.
>>35324484
>>35324493
>400 wilks
>good
not hating on Jofflad or anything, but while it is a very nice milestone, a 400 wilks is really not that impressive imo.
>>35324452
A 5pl8 kg or 5pl8 lb squat?
>>35324508
>400 wilks is really not that impressive imo.
>>35324508
>400 wilks is really not that impressive
It's pretty damn good, not spectacular sure but still. Do you have a 400 wilks?
>>35324508
it's nationals level in most countries
>>35324525
>>35324533
my meet wilks is only like 377 tBh.
>>35324533
Its slightly better in Joffreys case because, IIRC, he's in one of the weight classes that get shanked by the wilks calculations.
>>35324522
Kg. I'll do pound if kg feels good. Or if kg doesn't cover 2xbw, which it might not
>Boardie is going to squat 2xbw in a couple of weeks
happy af desu
>>35324561
>if kg doesn't cover 2xbw, which it might not
Yes, give in to the bulk.
>>35324557
>aka all weight classes under 105kg
>>35324595
Actually, only from about 74 to 105. Its underpopulated weight classes across the board that get an edge from the wilks formula.
>>35324595
Aka womens' weight classes
>>35324577
Me too. Fingers crossed lad
>>35324583
I've already given in. I'm hovering around 110rn desu. I'll weigh myself right before squatting and if I weigh over 110 I'll just bump my max attempt to whatever 2x is +1kg or so.
nn plg, nice chatting with you guys
>>35324602
>74 to 105
OUTTA MY WAY
>>35324606
>I've already given in
Big Z mode when?
>>35324613
who is that guy
>>35324622
Never, unfortunately. Even if I could eat that much I could never train as hard or do the amount of steroids he's on :(
>>35324632
Philip. Our natty overfriend. He keeps us safe ever since norsie gave up on us ;-;
>>35324271
Do a bunch of bodyweight shit
Pull-ups, push-ups, dips for days
DOMS after you get back and start squatting again will be miserable and you'll be walking funny for a couple days, you'll also experience some strength loss across the board
>>35324637
>He keeps us safe ever since norsie gave up on us ;-;
>>35324610
I like everything up until the point he just bashes on his head when he's on the floor. It's so retarded.
>>35324622
Big Z is a Cold War experiment gone extremely right
>>35324637
>>35324642
I told norsie to come back late night after Sean has passed out from pounding whisky all day and BenchBeta has gone to sleep because he's a child who has a bedtime but he declined
>>35324670
Wise choice, I think.
>>35324637
>Never, unfortunately. Even if I could eat that much I could never train as hard or do the amount of steroids he's on :(
Then you can work in the fields like the rest of the peasants.
IIRC in some interview he said in competition season he shoots for 6,000+ kcals a day and 400-500g protein. He drops down a lot in the off season though, I was surprised to see him looking (comparatively) skinny.
>>35324660
Right? His competition record is just stupid.
>>35324670
why do you call him "BenchBeta"
why do you hate him now two years ago i was here and people liked him
I'm going to bed. Night lads.
Looks like the only time I'll be posting is at work, in the gym, or before bed.
>>35324681
Because honestly even before Sean and topkek showed up /plg/ was in a sharp decline due to shitposting by BenchBeta and memespamming by Fatoreo
>>35321587
say what you will about him but athlean x knows his shit when it comes to bicep training. i followed his advice and did cheat barbell curls way too heavy for 3x8 and my arms are already noticeably bigger next day. i still am having trouble moving them
>>35324686

>>35324772
I'm glad you came back for comfy Plg, norsefriend
What are you gonna do once you finish up your Sheiko cycle?
Please tell me a less meme-y program
>>35324801
quit.
>>35324772
it's such a simple and plain fact that trying to prolong something that needs to end is only going to lead to suffering
so why does it have to hurt so damn much to learn it and put it into practice
>>35324813
Ahh come on lad
At least hop on a brosplit or something it will probably help you clear your mind and set some new goals
Life has a lot of ups and downs, hopefully more of the former and less of the later.
But in all likelihood it seems like it has most of the inbetween, the bland vague stretches of time filled with little change, few strong emotions, positive or negative. You adopt a schedule whether that is work, school, lifting or fuck maybe even just bumming around town because you're homeless. A lot of time seems to pass us like this, it's so fucking easy to wake up and wonder where the last year, five years or decades went, isn't it?
And well, that's that. It's raining outside, a pretty and comfy sound desu. I'm going to bed lads.
I DON'T FEEL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANYYYYTHIIIINGG

THIS LOOOOVE SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOULD BEEEEE
>>35324816

>>35324872
life is fucking stupid lol

You need to gain greater control over your emotions, friend
Look into stoicism and Buddhism, the real Buddhism not the hippie bullshit that effeminate Europeans claim to follow
>>35324937
>life is fucking stupid lol
so why not just kill ourselves?
Running TM and just finished a training cycle. The next two weeks gym will probably be open only Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday (maybe Thursday). So that's 2 full body sessions maximum. How do I train these two weeks? Maybe deload this one and do an introductory week before my next training cycle the next one?
>>35325103
>Maybe deload this one and do an introductory week before my next training cycle the next one?
That sounds like the best idea
>>35321985
Pretty sure he outlifts me by wilks and total
>>35322091
I've been cutting since October. So far dropped from 226 to 193. Some people choose to permabulk because "more total is more better" but there's diminishing returns on that. Others do bulking and cutting cycles to stay in or around the weight class they feel most competitive at.
>>35324148
I have "reps" day for squats ahead of me. Hoping it looks better than deadlift day did, kek.
>>35324454
That's pretty much why I trip.

What is the one thing that will keep you absolutely fascinated and motivated for the rest of your life?
>>35325606
For topkek 100 it's probably that he gets to slurp his moms curry
>>35324447
That's your not-HB-not-LB-bar placement?
Doing 5x2 with 85%
wew lad
>>35324507
Yeah, and OCG and Norse have pretty similar PRs at 270-275 kgs, IIRC. Virtus is at 260 and gaining.
Damn, I realize that if I want to look good I'll have to 5RM around 70kg OHP, 110kg bench, 35kg chinup and 140kg squat, while being relatively lean around 85kg.
What programming should I do for the next 2-3 weeks until I start another training cycle? Doing random bodybuilding exercises has gotten pretty boring desu
What exercise do I do to rehab the brachio radialis?
Is it curls or what the fuck does this muscle even do?
I can see that it flexes when I grip something but that's all?
>>35326014

Sounds like hammer curls and curls with pronated grip are suitable, but fuck if I know.
>>35325980
Tempted to say the two first weeks of 5/3/1 tbqh, because you can just plug in lifts and run it, and the higher reps might feel good for you before another cycle.
:^)
HELP
I've got this thing I need to modify to be able to clip onto this chair
What is the best method of clipping something onto the chair? It has to be really sturdy and won't fall off easily
>>35326044
Sounds reasonable.
No idea how out of all muscle involved in arm wrestling this seemingly useless muscle gets strained lol.
I'll try the curls lightly tomorrow and prey to Jesus that I will be able to lift again very soon.
>>35326044
Actually that sounds fun, forgot about 5/3/1, had the most fun on a program when I ran it for a few months
Someone had been a catty little bitch literally all night.

Hey that's mine, mail it back please.

Turn it in bro.

England?
Just matched someone with a blue tick on their name on tinder lads. Does that mean they're famous?
>>35326663
Topkek100 doesn't ahve £150 don't be stupid
>>35326683
The small blue star thing? Means you gave them a superlike, i.e. that you're really into them. Tinder uses it in order to differentiate matches a bit, and cmiiwb tinder shows your matches that you gave them a superlike too, which should act as a small incentive to start talking and keep talking.
>>35326683
no it means they're transgender
>>35326731
leld. missed u too
Whew fell for the bulgarian meme, lads. I'm on my third week and it's starting to get to me aka "dark days". I'm still able to do 90ish percent of my 1RM fairly easily but I feel like shit everyday when I wake up.
>>35326696
how's work
do you want to end your life yet?

Feels like I should probs try to fug her desu

RHEEEEEEEEEEE HOW IS THIS PIECE OF SHIT LITTLE GIRL MAKING MORE SQUAT GAINS THAN ME
>>35327170
its not raw though, she has wraps
>>35327170
Damn, that's a smooth squat.
>>35327196
>she has wraps
and i have a penis, that should count for more
>>35327136
dewd
>>35326931
Off for two weeks. Spent the whole day playing video games. Feels awesome man. Going to lift in a bit. Spend three hours, so some eqp squatting, BP and assistance work.
>>35327213
It does, shes a much better athlete than you or I.
Still not a raw squat
>>35327343
agreed on all points
but still reserving judgement on my athlete potential, my squat is just temporarily slowing down is what i'll keep telling myself
>>35327334
sounds like the perfect day
>>35327407
truly has been
Should you correct ppl when u see them doing squats like retards at the gym?
>>35327451
Unless people ask you to help them out, no.
>>35325826
Nah that's LB placement. My hybrid is higher than that.
>>35327004
I was just wondering who has the heaviest because I knew bodorio has the best based on wilks, just couldnt remember Norsie's PR.
>>35327566
Norsie's PR is 295kg in knee wraps I believe.
Provided that I am doing higher volume deadlifts (4 sets x 5), can I replace barbell rows with pull-ups/chin ups?
The reason I ask is I am doing Madcow 5x5 and I am doing a third cycle and I am seeing dick all improvement in my barbell rows which means my back is lagging compared to everything else on me.
>>35327451
Only if you're noticably bigger than them
>>35327656
>can I replace barbell rows with pull-ups/chin ups?
I don't know. Can you replace squats with OHP?
>>35327676
>I don't know. Can you replace squats with OHP?
That's a mouth breather response. I am doing deadlifts which hits the same muscles as the barbell row.
I am not asking about replacing one exercise with a completely different and unrelated one.
>>35327706
>I am not asking about replacing one exercise with a completely different and unrelated one.
You're asking wether you can replace a horisontal pull with a vertical pull. They're hitting different muscles and do totally different things regarding your shoulder stability etc. Also deadlifts doesn't help with balancing your shoulders from pushing excercises.
Don't remove rows, add pullups on top of them.
i think i fucked up on my last bench PR on saturday because ever since my left forearm has been in pain. kind of a blunt stinging sensation when i do any pushing movement. what is it and how do i get rid of it?
>>35327740
Okay gotcha. Thank you for explaining that way.
I'll go be an asshole in the corner somewhere else.
>>35326714
hahahaha
>>35327741
do you use wrist wraps or nah? they might help
>>35327786
nah. should probably buy some though, my bench is getting up there. i kinda wonder what's going on though. it feels like something in the middle of my forearm keeps snapping though. really fucking unpleasant.
>>35327740
he'll actually survive doing that replacement
>>35327807
yeah I would say get them if you can. don't be one of those people that thinks you need to lift some arbitrary amount of weight to need equipment. I know they help me immensely with even elbow pain in the bench. even if it is totally placebo, it doesn't hurt nearly as much with them on.
>>35327822
>he'll actually survive doing that replacement
No shit. You would also survive replacing squats with bicep curls and running 5 miles per day, but would it be the best thing to do if you want to git gud?
>>35327835
but yo ucan git good doing chins instead of rows or vice versa, you can't git good doing curls instead of squats
>>35327844
>but yo ucan git good doing chins instead of rows or vice versa
Yes but doing bench+incline bench+pullups will result in forward rolled shoulders, while rows train muscles that pull the shoulders the other way.
Lats in the bench finally getting the attention they deserve :)
>>35327856
deadlifts train muscles that pull the shoulders the other way tho
>>35327870
Lats in the bench is a meme is a meme though. Everyone knows this
>>35327877
GODDAMNIT IT'S A MEME INCEPTION.
>>35327873
>deadlifts train muscles that pull the shoulders the other way tho
Isometrically. This isn't sufficient for shoulder health long-run.
>>35327877
fuck off
lats in bench is a meme, only dumbfucks like buda think they matter
on the other hand, marcel, a stronger, intelligent man pretty mcuh discounts lats in the bench press
I know who I'll listen to.
>>35327870
I don't understand why people can't comprehend that lats actively contract to lift the bar during the bench press when using the proper technique.
>>35327877
>lats are a meme in the bench
anyone have the webm of Haack benching in the pug singlet where it zooms in on his lats? if not, here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N1hChJwX7c
>>35327873
Good point. I still think you(he?) should add rows because the ratio of deads to pressing is like 1:10.
>>35327884
>This isn't sufficient for shoulder health long-run.
Maybe, apparently your shoulders explode if you don't do facepulls but somehow a lot managed before they became a meme.
>>35326928
Yeah, take a deload every ~3 weeks when you first start, it'll help.
>>35327909
>apparently your shoulders explode if you don't do facepulls but somehow a lot managed before they became a meme.
Prior to hyper-specific powerlifting meme-programming, most lifters trained their backs. It seems like a recent meme to neglect anything but the big 3.
>>35327905
>omg his lats FLEX when he presses the bar! QUICK! IF YOU'RE STALLING ON BENCH HIT LATS HARD!
better start doing my calf raises and forearm curls, STAT!
fucking dumbass nigger
>>35327908
He. And yeah I doubt doing both will have anything but a net positive effect on his training, just really skeptical to all the "ratio this ratio that for shoulder health"
>>35327937
Hyper specificity is not unheard of in WL. Seriously his should be fine with or without rows, if he wasn't deadlifting at all that'd be another issue
>>35327877
This is true. You don't need monster lats to be a great bencher, but you need to be using them throughout the lift.
Aww fuck I sprained my clavicle again
>>35327920
It better goddam be.
>>35327937
People still train their backs, but I think the 'train your upper back every day' meme is very much just a meme. It won't "hurt" and it's totally doable, but how much it really helps I'm skeptical of.
>>35327937
>>Prior to hyper-specific powerlifting meme-programming, most lifters trained their backs.
That's because americans think that anything that has to do with a barbell is bodybuilding. Look at sheiko and dietmar, they train some of the best lifters in the world(both tested and fake lifters) and they don't think back needs special attention.
>>35327956
>He. And yeah I doubt doing both will have anything but a net positive effect on his training, just really skeptical to all the "ratio this ratio that for shoulder health"
I'm not big on micromanaging ratios for lifts but I think that doing "something" is the best. If that "something" is 3 sets or 20 sets is probably not important. I count deadlifts as "nothing" for shoulder balance since they work the muscles isometrically.
>>35327984
Don't actually disagree with you there, probably better off doing something. Some just take it too far and base their programming on hitting so and so to some micro level, which is retarded. How much assistance helps the main lifts has to take priority
>>35327294
Couple packs of ammonia caps or chalk
>>35327956
>Hyper specificity is not unheard of in WL
The WL movements utilize the lats much more than the PL movements.
>Seriously his should be fine with or without rows
He might be. However, I bet my left nut that he stalls sooner than he should on the bench.
Why wouldn't you want more hypertrophy in the back? There is literally no downside.
>>35327984
>they don't think back needs special attention.
This is silly.
>>35323189
typically when i miss i do a two a day the next day, unless i'm feeling really beat up.
>>35328004
>Why wouldn't you want more hypertrophy in the back? There is literally no downside.
Unnecesarry weight
>>35328023
>Unnecesarry weight
Larger back musculature will assist all 3 lifts. This is not "unnecessary weight", lol.
Today I lifted in the morning for the first time since like August. At school, usually I would go to dinner, then lift about 90 min later. WEW LADS it was a lot tougher than I though it would be. 80% squat triples felt like death. Probably a good thing to start doing though since the meet I will be doing starts in the morning.

Why did I stall barebones SS so early? I don't understand how people got to a 2pl8 bench on SS. It's not possible.
Do you need to use microplates perhaps?
>>35328046
How much strength did you loose?
