>>35532177
Damn man, post lifts.
I shouldn't have started lifting doing a 4 day brosplit skipping leg day
5"11, 175
1RM bench is bodyweight, but squat is 115
Really fucking sad
2016 will be the year I jump to proficient. If not I'm killing myself
>>35532049
Why does this site judge your calves based on power cleans?
![cleandiagram[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/9NnoZ0s.jpg "cleandiagram[1].jpg")
>>35533823
Because you push with your calves at the top of the deadlift half of the lift?
>>35533848
second powerlifting meet coming up in February.
>>35533823
>>35533836
Wait... that means that every single person I've seen post about this shit does not do power cleans.
Is this proof that SS is a meme?
>tfw back in gym for 2 months following surgery
>tfw intermediate
feels alri 2bh
>>35534060
You need to do power cleans, rows or push press, squat and deadlift to get calves to show up.
91.7 and not even near exceptional :(
I'll never be world-class m8s feels bad
Not too shabby
>>35535281

DO any of you actually do more than one variation of a compound lift?

And obviously I forgot pic.
>>35536288
Almost identical to my stats, how long have you been lifting?
>>35536292
clarence please don't go
>>35536503
First time I touched a barbell was in November 2011, first time in an actual gym was late April 2012.
Since then ripped up my shoulder joint (went back from a 120kg bench press to 40kg, took a year to fully recover) and had an ankle injury which affected my very old knee injury, so I can't actually squat.
Max back squat was 195kg and max deadlift was 208kg last year.
>>35536674
Damn brah, injuries suck. The worst injuries I have are my shoulders on OHP, but I take shittons of fish oil and it's like it never happened.
5'11' 162lbs. lifting just over a year. my bench and press have been stalled since the summer.
>>35536483
fuck you faggot. the name of the site is in the thread name.
>>35537227
Does the bar touch your shirt when you bench?
thanks rip!
>>35537719

just go the gym
fuck if people laugh
youll thank yourself later
>>35532049
training at home for a while, will soon go to a gym for the first time in forever. Will normies think I'm strong ?
Help
Started on October 21 2014 however I have been extremely injury prone(just had my second exertional headache a couple days ago) which cut maybe 5-6 months of actual training off that time including a large 4 month period from recovering from tendinitis in my knees which I'm pretty sure still haven't fully recovered from.
How am I doin, brahs?
>>35539086
nice tits, aiming for trap mode ?
>>35539253
What is your weight?
>>35539295
Guess.
>>35539319
Im guessing heavy desu cause im >>35539045 and my overall number is higher but your lifts seem better so im guessing your heavier so they count for less maybe. 250ish?
>>35539274
6'5" 210 lbs, a little big for that
>>35539356
264lbs.
>>35539358
>260lbs OHP
>Elite traps
You're supposed to use your strict press numbers friend, not push press.
I was wondering why I had a lot of world class areas, then I noticed that I had inputted 675kg instead of 67,5 on OHP.
>weighted calisthenics
>only options I did were weighted chins and dips
>inb4 nolegs
>>35539460
Word, id prob work on loosing some weight before i worried about lifts personally.
>>35535305
is she high?
7 mont lifting, 1,70 m 70 kg
>>35539490
Meh.
I'm hoping to do a recomp by just simply getting bigger/stronger to the point where my metabolism is so high I can afford the extra intake.
I care more about lifts than cuts though. Probably sitting at around 25%BF right now.
>>35539475
>Elite traps
I wish just exceptional and 260 is my OHp max, friend
>>35538509
Nice gyno, manlet
Guess my routine
>>35539613
Curlbro split
How seriously does /fit/ take these estimates?
I can do hanging weighted leg raises (35 lbs) for 10 reps and it says that my abdominal muscles are untrained. I can box jump over 4ft for 15+ reps in under 30 seconds and it says that my legs are untrained.
This is just for laughs right?
>>35539685
WHAT DO YOU SQUAT? NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT HOW HIGH YOU CAN JUMP!
You haters mirin'?
>>35539685
Your explosive power in your legs is good, sure, but your strength is not. These two kinda go hand in hand, but unless you squat 200kg your legs are pretty weak comparatively to elite lifters.
Also hanging leg raises are more hip extensiors than abs imo
>>35539709
200 lbs high back full squat for 8 reps comfortably. Don't really know what my 1RM is.
>>35536288
>all that green and blue
>calling other people meme lifters
Okay bud.
tfw blue (at least now im fully blue)
back injury set me back so much and progress is so slow
Apparently my back is lagging behind. Can't do weighted pull-ups, because my right forearm starts hurting then.
Don't know what to do about that. I do rep 150 kgs deadlift.
Well, are these actually accurate? i mean, i can do 5x180kg deadlift, but i don't think i could move 210kg
>>35539714
>haha get it guys I feel for the ss meme
Kill yourself.
>>35539750
200lbs, even for 8 reps is incredibly weak.
I squat 140kg for 5 and still do t have a 300 wilks...
>>35538586
>Deadlift 35 x5
>>35539685
I can hanging leg raises like you too but I squat 120 kg (6-8) and I'm intermediate
>>35533803
Lel I really need to work on weighted dips.
For reference, here is Matt Ogus.
Even the program can detect that he ridiculous shoulder development.
king of crosshit or w/e
I can live with this.
Chest and biceps should be red for arnie but there's no input for all the isolations he did.
>>35539830
>>35539815
Looks like I'll have to get my squat weights up. I've been training and using my maximum vertical leap as a benchmark for my leg strength, but I can see that I may indeed be a novice as the chart would indicate.
I still think my abs are at least intermediate though.
>>35538762
Don't worry, we'll make it breh. I added 10 kg to my max in 3 weeks just by doing push-ups at home.
>>35539714
lmao
Wanna work my pull-ups back up to respectable strength levels, so i can put that in too. Haven't done it for ages.
>>35539778
Have you tried? Also, you probably could if you trained at lower rep ranges. It's more of a CNS adaptation rather than a purely strength based issue.
>>35532049
Wretch, it is all true, though training these parts harder then others does not work. Sucks to be lacking in most showtime muscles.
>>35538509
get rid of that gyno brah
6' 185

The boring shitty jokes you idiots are spewing are from fucking 2010, go the FUCK back to Reddit.
>>35540576
Manlet roid rage.
It's sad you're so weak while using roids. I guess that explains why you have gyno too.
Try lifting weights during your next cycle little buddy.
>>35540593

Fuck this. Phone picture quality is god awful because it's a flip phone from 2004 and it won't connect to my PC anyway.
Fucking manlets stop projecting your horseshit insecurities onto me you autistic faggots.

My bullshit alarm is going off. You claim to perform 1 jump every <2 seconds for 15 consecutive reps onto a 4 foot box. Even ignoring the obviously exaggerated rate of those jumps, 15 reps of a 25 inch vertical jump, which a 48 inch box jump roughly equates to, that would put your max standing vert at nearly 40 inches.
Unless you're some kind of competitive high school or college athlete, you're spewing complete and utter bullshit. And a college athlete would be able to squat more than 200 pounds.
>>35540710
>Tfw no qt shorthaired athletic gf
>>35541010
making pretty good progress bruv, but i predict shoulder problems
that green chest means its overpowered compared to back
>>35542770
Yeah, I've realized this and made a new routine that is more back intensive.
Need to squat more
>>35535305
holy fuck, had never seen this
thanks
6'3 215lbs at 20%bf
8 months in, expected areas are in need of work. Lanklet feels.
