That's George bloody Seeger mate.
>>35714502
that's an internationally competing athlete! A medal winning deadlifter at worlds!!
>>35714511
The lad can feckin hoist alright.
I'm having trouble keeping tightness in the hole for squats, mainly in glutes, and having trouble getting my glutes to contract in deadlifts.
Any tips or mobility work I should do? No I don't have videos.
>>35714526
Sorry man, if we talk about lifting the mods will delete the thread randomly.

You need to learn lifting and eating.
>>35715013
Only if you want to lose your gains.
>>35715013
im no expert at all and this is pure speculation but
>deload to recover from excess fatigue
>reduce the fuel needed to recover
just doesnt seem ideal

Did my first deadlifts today after reading how tos from the wiki
Thoughts of my form?
https://youtu.be/hICmM1XaFdg
>>35715301
Very good for your first deadlifts, anon. Two things I'd focus on are
>patience at lift initiation
Squeeze the bar up, rather than yank it. Focus on getting really tight during setup, and then start pulling.
>push your hips through at lockout
Basically fuck the bar to lock up, rather than jsut extending your back
>>35715301
First of all, learn how to crop your videos.
It looked pretty good for being the first time. As >>35715336 said, you're kind of janking the bar up. You need to apply force gradually in the beginning and then it will leave the ground.
>>35715013
Not more then marginally.
>>35715301
Do you have some shoes that have flat hard soles?
Other than that the other guys have given great advice. Maybe ask a guy at the gym for tips if you feel up to asking that
>>35715460
just DL in socks if you dont have the shoes, works fine for conv
>>35714502

>>35714516
I smiled heartily at these posts
Well done for making my mood anons
>>35715486
Yes but some gyms have a shoes must be worn policy
>>35715514
that they do, just suggesting it as an option
Ay lads, my bench has been suffering since day 1, so far almost a year of training and I switched to conjugate method ( it seems very fun and I'm enjoying it way more that 531/cw6), so my question is: should I utilise presses like the floor press, various board presses and all the other fancy bench variation accessories, even though that my bench is low (floor pressing 40kg for speed sounds off).
But on the other hand these are great accessories and will surely boost me up.
Maxes are:
Sumo 185
Conventional 170
Bench 70
Squat 155
>>35715486
Most commercial gyms will not let you train shoeless.
Because this Reebok trainer sure as shit will save my tipsy toes when I drop a plate
>>35715723
Just do weighted dips, close grip bench and spoto press
cutting because cbt made fun of me lads
>>35715723
do a real program
>>35715860
We need to do something about those lads desu. This is the final straw.
>>35714526
Rdls mate, had the same problem with the hams and glutes till i started doing these babies, you will learn how to ebgage your glutes and hams and it helps a shitload.

Can confirm the presence of deadweight shit heads at work.
Weirdly they tend to be temporary. As in sometimes they do really well, others they sink.
>>35716412

Deadweights exist everywhere, even at highly qualified, esteemed jobs. Even around the boardroom table.
>>35716399
You can always just do the deadweights work, its usually not that much more to do.
Tbh the worst people to work with imo are strong willed people who think they are way smarter than they are, who try to steer the project in a way that realistically, nobody can work without running stuff through that person.

>>35716465
Basically, if your club lets a drugaroo become member, they can get in trouble. Not you. If you attend some kind of official thing with a drugaroo(see for example the Ed Coan seminars) or have a drugaroo for a coach, you can get in trouble. You can never get in trouble for liking a druggie on normiebok or just training with a banned lifter in a normal gym.
How strong do you have to be to join a power lifting gym / club without looking like a fool?
I've been working out for 4.5 months now and gone from 60-155kg dead, 62.5-145kg squat, 40kg-75kg bench @ 77kg currently
Would I be better off training for a couple of years first before I join?
>>35716499
He will NEVER break past 400
His Wilks will FALL below 350 and he will be worse than SUPERMANG and SPARROW and JUST ABOUT EVERY FIRST TIMER ACTUALLY TRYING
He will NEVER squat 220
He will BOMB his equipped competition
He will die COLD and ALONE
>>35716604
What country? Here in Sweden PL clubs works as normal gyms, but with a bunch of regulars that compete for the club. No one would think you're a fool. In USA I think there are more "PL only" clubs, but I don't think anyone would think bad of someone who wants to get into the sport.
>>35716599
Got it thanks for clearing that up, getting coached by pure IPF so all cool on that front
>>35716503
>Tbh the worst people to work with imo are strong willed people who think they are way smarter than they are

>>35716432
Pretty true. Which is why I'm so cheap.
I'm that hilarious combination of skilled enough and not qualified or experienced enough that I earn less than the cafeteria staff in the same building.
What are some godtier hip flexor and glutes stretches lads? Smolov has got me achin.
>>35716634
Denmark. I guess you're right. It's probably like a normal gym but they have meets sometimes and have the club's records on the wall i'm guessing
>>35716621
>I'm going to get worse at powerlifting
Maybe when I'm in my 70s.
I won't bomb in this next eq comp
I'll definitely get 400 wilks at my next classic comp.
I'll definitely squat 220. I'll even squat it raw.
We ALL die alone and many will also be cold because that's how dying works.

>>35714526
Do some isolation work (glute bridges/hip thrusts) before squats, then try slow and/or paused squats/deadlifts. Also RDLs, like the anon said.
>>35716331
I know I like it more too.
I just can't be assed right now desu. Already had this set up.
>>35716340
My teachers' code literally has English and Dutch variable and function names mixed. Top lmao.
Not progressing anymore, kinda depressed.
>>35715723
You're not supposed to do the dynamic effort with a variation, IIRC.
BW and height? You probably need to eat and/or sleep more.
>>35716907
How long have you lifted for?
>>35716341
you dip
>>35716974
2 years. I guess its because im not using any program, i just do what i feel is best. Might hop on the hepburn hype train
Guys I've been stalled out on 245 3x5 295 1RM for months on a TM progression. During this time my OHP has shot up from 165 to 185. I've de loaded, I'm eating right, I just can't break through. Any thoughts on program change?

He's even late for sheiko already.

>>35717217
Yep, it's me, and I enjoy wearing stupid lifting attire.
>>35717202
Its something new thats bench centric, I was being serious.
Is it a troll?
>>35717473
It's not a troll, I just thought you were being sarcastic for some reason. Sheiko did wonders for my bench both technique- and strengthwise.
>>35717496
ah thanks, I'm not a regular here. Ive never had a strength coach and I feel like TM benefits my deadlifts way more than upper body stuff.
I think I just gotta learn to live with the fact that all of my Thursday sessions are going to feel wonky. Though, I did try wide grip again, which felt perfectly okay. Might try using it for a set on Monday.
And my deadlift is coming along fine. I do them 3-5 times a weel, with varying rep ranges.
>>35717516
>Ive never had a strength coach and I feel like TM benefits my deadlifts way more than upper body stuff.
I've never done TM myself but this seems to be the usual complaint. Imo it has too little bench volume and the program expects you to increase your 5RM way too often.
During these hard times, its important that we remember to FEEL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lNBcTkssWA
Soooo my friend performs bent over rows with a mixed grip (like a deadlift)
i talked to him about it and he says "it feels comfortable and ive been doing like this forever".
I know the reason why he's doing it is because he thinks the deadlift and bent over row are similar movements and that the mixed grip wont tax his grip...
i told him he could develop imbalances and that everyone i know doesnt do a mix grip ... he says, "if i see imbalances, ill just alternate the mixed grip"
should i just let him do what he wishes? I mean ... doing a bent over row with a supinated hard, cant that increase the chances of a bicep tear? In curls youre dealing with light weight as opposed to a row.
Let him do his own shit or try to help my friend (and seem as a know-it-all) ???
>>35717757
Tell him hes stupid and its stupid

i posted it yesterday and only got people saying "hahaah youre friend is an idiot" and such
i mean ya, hes a fucking moron lol ... but advice? leav ehim be?
>>35717811
Tell him he's stupid and why it's stupid every time he does it until he stops doing it, if he gets overly defensive then just let him be a retard on his own.
>>35717757
Always, always allow your friend to fuck up on their own.
One: nobody likes a know-it-all
Two: He didn't fucking ask
Three: "I told you so" will be delicious

Eh, whatever. Program bashing isn't useful to anyone. If he enjoys it, it's good enough.

ya i guess, its just important someone sticks with it right?
too bad the retard always gets himself injured in the simpliest and most fucked up ways
>>35717919
That predates memeburn, actually.
All dem peeps asking me about BBSM programming, which was literally just block periodization with excessive accessory volume.
>>35718051
>>35717919
Also IIRC Juggernaut Method is already pushed a bunch in pee ell ger, and that's also block periodization, I think.
How does one go about switching to low-bar, programming wise? Should I just do LP for a while?
>>35717916
>garagebro honestly defending failing a drug test 3 times and saying it shouldn't be lifetime
W-what? How can he think that blatant cheating that breaks the only rule that's shared between all sports is ok?
>>35718093
Well a wrong way to do it and also what I did is
>mess around with lowbar for couple of days
>hit a big pr
>take a week off for holiday
>start sheiko with the new max
Im getting little rekt 2bh.
>>35718138
Because the IPF are fucking nazis. I can't believe they'd be this unreasonable and try to control what lifters can and can't do
>>35718138
Because since he likes drugs everyone including drug free federations have to be okay with them.
>>35718153
>>35718171
Tell him that his bench and squat sucks
I posted here yesterday and I wanted to see if I fixed my deadlift Form. https://youtu.be/VkP_dIroKZk please help. I'm a noob ;-;
>>35718184
>bar too far forward
>knees not locked out (it seems)
start with bar closer
keep knees back once bar passes them
lock out
>>35718219
Is my back fine and yeah I felt the bar too forward
>>35718236
yeah your back looked fine. very minor rounding but nothing worrying considering it looked like a *somewhat* heavy single
>>35714442
>those tits
>>35718265
Is the back fine for a 80% single?
>>35718184
Yeah, bar is too far forward. in this specific deadlift, your back probably isn't in danger, but when you get to heavier weights you're going to run into issues if you don't learn how to sit back and set your hips.
I don't have my save image about deadlifting, and even that doesn't really cover this topic all that well.
Basically, you need to bring the bar back towards your shins. you need your shins near-perpendicular, but don't think about doing that: think about two things:
1) conciously holding anterior pelvic tilt (this is done to attempt to remain neutral pelvic tilt)
2) letting hips rise until the hamstring and/or glutes are lifting it off the floor without you actually trying to lift it. you'll know what I mean if it clicks for you
>>35718351
Alright thanks alot. I'll start recording my lifts and compare them to one with proper Form.
>>35715301
not bad
at this point when you're just starting i think you're probably mostly fine without trying to give you a ton of cues or whatever. just keep lifting more.
work on stretching your hips and hamstrings and get better shoes
>>35718351
And a short example vid related to point 1 (moving through the hip, not the lower back): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPv6n816R54&ab_channel=EliteftsArchives
>>35718184
sit back more. Not down, back, as if you would fall backwards if you weren't holding the bar. Shins should be more vertical, shoulders on the same line as the bar.
I have sinned and didn't couch stretch the last days

i've been wanting to see something like this for a LONG time, super interesting
}https://coachesonly.breakingmuscle.com/business-development/why-90-of-crossfit-gyms-are-slowly-going-bankrupt
I have a dream of winning a ton of money and then CF going bankrupt and buying it out and revamping the business model and making it something like "The Strength & Barbell Sports Association"
and having it host PL, WL, strongman all parallel to their current model of the CF open. shit would be so fucking cool
( ._.)
Shall I do bench accessories like dumbbell, incline, flies or instead do spoto press as accessoire?
>>35718989
That would be fucking awesome. CWS's gym is actually a shared space with a crossfit gym.
I went to his squat seminar the other day
>>35719010
Shut up.
>>35718989
>having a dream that relies on someone going bankrupt
DEVILISH
>>35719010
yeah, I actually know ALOT of powerlifters that train at CF gyms.
Imagine:
CF becomes all strength sports - after enough financial success of the revamped business model, being able to host a yearly "world strength games"with cash prizes similar to what they currently have for CF
Local CF gyms now endorse people with NSA, USAWL & USAPL memberships and allow them to train for free or reduced costs, hosting local & regional youth / teen / collegiate competitions and offering coaching for the youth
america's strength sports population and talent pool explode

>>35718821
He added 17.5kg to his deadlift in one cycle of Sheiko. He's making normal natural progress.
>>35719092
>with cash prizes
nah, cash is cancer.
and you seem to be glossing over the fact that CF has a huge steroid issue right now, I don't think the IPF or USAPL would touch them with a ten meter pole
turning powerlifting into a monetized sport would be the death of it, you'd see massive institutional doping
>>35719109
Stop the subtle implications pls
3rd pair of gym sweats to rip when squatting in a month

he was good for more than 300kg at the start desu
and he didn't add 17.5kg to his platform numbers.
>>35719132
meh, idgaf
no reason there needs to be a partner ship.
and there's no reason there couldn't be massive doping implimentation either. I actually don't view that as a large hurdle at all, its easily handled by multiple easy courses of action. I could be wrong, but i don't think I am.
>>35719132
The IPF doesn't have a steroid problem?

I cant think of any country that even has lifting weights as part of the school system. Maybe Canada idk. In Europe it certainly doesnt exist.
First 5 plate diddy yesterday lads
feels bloody good man
>>35719220
>>35719220
idk why you're highlighting multiple things, but what i'm saying by
>there doesn't have to be a partnership
is that the business plan is flexible. which is, you know, a prerequisite for a business plan
as for doping, maybe a pyramid style doping program.
If there's cash flow in the sport, then having scrutinous, everyone-gets-tested anti doping at the "top level" wouldn't be a problem, with maybe a linear drop off in testing volume & scrutiny as you go down the line.
I.E.:
"top level" - every athlete is tested, and samples held for 5+ years to test for future things
"national level" - all athletes are tested
"state" or "regional" level - 75% of all athletes are tested randomly
"local" level - 25% of all athletes are tested
obv the numbers / scrutiny could change but you get the jist of it.

I don't see how it wouldnt. the introduction of crossfit alone has already spurred a significant amount of growth.

Any idea why? I read it was about the website or some mad mod that got made fun of in here or something
>>35719155
I wear a pair of Nike, medium. I don't know the model or style, but I bought them at Marshalls. I'm 183cm and ~110kg.

Good lad. I too never do stretching
Block pulls are super comfy when done sumo, much better than my conventional block pulls. Sad part is as soon as I do regular sumo it feels all kinds of wonky.
I'm doing c6w and the upper body workout isn't working for me at all. Any tips what should I change for bench?
>>35720144
lower the block height over time... M
>>35720182
more volume. I think Joffrey added a couple of TnG doubles or triples with like 85-90% of his bench after whatever else work he was doing
>>35720182
Some options that have people here have done

>this >>35720198
What strength program would be good for me?
Squat 155kg
bench 100kg
deadlift 175kg
>>35720182
I add some more volume or variations
am I going to be Isley mode?

>>35720198
Interesting what are those TnG doubles? And should I do them or triples after even lower body day?
>>35720211
Thank you, I will look up for that hepburn thing.
>>35720144
Because sumo is literally all about getting it off the floor.
You take away the main challenge behind it by doing it off the block.
>>35720198
Yeah, I was planning on doing that. Have pulled sumo before, but was just kind of surprised how easy it felt with sumo block pulls. Hadn't pulled sumo in a long while and instantly pulled my sumo 1RM for reps. Bar is at mid shin, so I don't think it's overly high either.
Conventional block pulls sometimes feels almost as heavy as my normal pulls.

>block pulls do nothing for round back, even slightly rounded, pullers
This is good to know actually because I don't pull round-backed at all. I'll probably keep them in next cycle.
>>35718351
so you want to kind of squat it?
Hello lads, did some pin squats today, hammering dat sticking point.
Had to use a narrower stance today because my right hip is getting rekt. It felt good, definitely more in the tank
>>35720302
unless your rack pull with a round back, too
>>35720302
Well, that is me, at least once it gets heavy. Been working a long time to get my form back on track, so that I can lift as much as I used to catback style.
I'm pulling on two days, the first one being conv + leg/glute assistance and the other have been sumo block pulls + back assistance, as of lately. Felt pretty nice so far, since sumo blocks is pretty much all legs, gives my back a bit of rest.
>>35720198
So should I do bench even after lower body workout?
>press 65kg
>bench 120kg
would getting my press up help?
>>35720453
>pulling sumo and conventional
>>35720510
No just add in some work on upper days
>>35720510
probably no need
maybe do some dips, weighted pushups or something that loads the pecs and triceps without increasing bench freq too much
>>35720515
probably, but its not necessary
>>35720515
Getting your bench up would help
>>35720445
real good man, keep it up - but, why did u use pins above parallel? wouldn't it be better to practice full depth, and then just pause the weight at the way up, just above parallel for a second or two, and then come up?
>>35720445
Are those skulls on the safeties?
>>35720524
As optional exercises should I do french press or close grip bb?
>>35720540
Generally you want to set pins at around parallel or slightly above, in order to start from your sticking point which is usually a little bit above. I chose it today because my hip is bothering me and "bouncing" off the bottom has been hurting lately.
The variation you are saying provides another stimulus, pin squats and pin bench are designed to make you push from a dead stop, and this allows a greater fiber recruitment since there is no rebound.
>>35720603
Yes, they are a bit faggy but whatever I have to use what's available lel
>>35720518
Livin' the good lyfe
What do you think now, a bit modified c6w?
>>35720687
bretty shit
>>35720687
Those names for the days of the week, goddamn, what is this
>>35720445
>Pin squats
so you pin your test/slin/whatever and then squat right after?
>>35720790
Finnish, sorry about that.
>>35720144
Do more pulls off the floor, and do some paused work
>>35720891
Maybe you only mean for my sumo, but I have been doing that. Sheiko didn't work very well for me on deadlifts, so I switched to my own thing for deads with less partials and more of the full movement. Just now added some sumo block pulls because they felt so good.
>>35720725
Why it's shit?
>alone in the gym
>can finally play metal on the speakers
>Sound of Perseverance
If you haven't heard it lads, now's the time.
And sumo feels awkward now. Seems my hip tightened up during exams and Christmas hollidays.
And my left shoulder still feels bad after the snow shovelling, but I got the bench work in.

How do you lose weight without losing strength gainz? I always find myself just giving up on food, losing straight 5kgs then getting depressed and bulking up to double the weight i was at
>>35720990
3x3 every upper day seems too much heavy weight. You're in the volume part of his program so just add in some more top sets or do some back off lighter work at least for that week
>>35721037
What weeks I should do that 3x3 then?
>>35721031
Cut fats pretty hard, plan meals better, drink less.
>>35719155
Adidas climalite, or soccer shorts in general.
>>35721031
Add cardio, don't drop as much food.
>>35721021
I would love to be able to listen to something even remotely heavy on the gyms speakers, instead of the same shit pop songs over and over. Sure I use in-ears every now and then, but I don't like using them for the full 2 hour sessions.
>>35721031
cut slowly
>>35716947
The thing is in 173cm 90kg bw, I have been slowly recomping this last year,I also sleep well, maybe once a month miss an hour or two of sleep no more.
>>35715823
Weighted dips hurt my elbows,shoulders,triceps.
Love em can't do them.
>>35715891
There is a difference between a program and a method.
>>35721098
>even remotely heavy on the gyms speakers
heaviest my gym goes is early AFI desu
feels bad
>>35720251
Not even close desu.
When I could bench roughly what you do, 112.5g, I was squatting over 200kg and deadlifting 280kg
>>35721098
In-ears are quite bothersome when doing anything at all, imho. They're just handy to bring with you.
My gym has an ipad with spotify hanging on the wall, so when I'm alone I stroll over there and put the good stuff on.
>>35721117
Post your DE and ME day then.
I'm going to make dinner now, but I might get back at ya in this thread or the next.
>>35714442
Isley pls cut
Yo plg
I've been doing candito linear for a while now (around 3 months, other lower upper split for 3 months)
Made great gains
bench = 95
squat = 125
deadlift = 135
all for 6 reps. I want to jump on his 6 week program but I still feel like I could add some kg in his linear program but tbqh I am bored and want to mix things up.
Will this be wise?
>>35721405
Westside for 6 weeks
>>35721376
Since my lower ones are working well I'll share upper,
MED:
Comp bench 6-9 sets of 1-3 reps,followed by 2 sets of 5 in a weight relative to my peak set of the day.
Repetition method:
Close grip bench press
Some form of overhead work( I stick at least 3 weeks for every exercise)
>from this point I do auxiliary exercises in which I work up to an AMRAP set,once I hit the desired reps (12-20 depending on exercise) I increase the weight and work up to the goal reps and start over.
----------------------------------------------
Some form of tricep extension
Some form of barbell curl (usually alternate strict and cheat every few weeks)
Side laterals.
Cont.
