>>35747272
Im tired of this shit... why the 404?

bench

confused as fuck.. the hell is that shitty clothes?

Talking shit about me again

>>35747302
used to work and train at this gym, same one pete rubish trained at for a bit.
>>35747387
hmmm.... pete and haack and the same gym
I wonder if he hooked haack up with some tren
Is it true seated DB press is the best assistance for OHP?
Why was last thread deleted?
>>35747272
Almost made it to 300 lads, wew
>>35747333
He's testing a new squat suit.
>>35747428
Assitance for OHP;
Incline bench, french press, DB press
For the rest I don't really know much else as assistance for OHP.
>>35747465
>>35747428
I personally only do incline bench from time to time because I already do enough tricep and shoulder work on my main exercises.
>>35747428
seated barbell press*
>>35747414
go way back on pete's channel. they trained together for a while when they both switched to madtown fitness
>>35747495
hmm...
>>35747431
People talking shit about me again
>>35747387
have you met pete ?
>>35747272
who texas method here? I'm struggling with ID days, almost failing the movement (last ID I failed my squat)
what do? my diet is fine just like resting, already doing the ID rotation (one day is heavy squats and speed deads and next week is heavy diddlys/speed squat)
is it time to change to candito program? or maybe try an advanced TM variation just like the book suggest?
>>>>35747483
I really don't like it much (seated barbell press). It usually forces me into an insane arch and it doesn't feel really good. I'd rather just do incline bench.
>>35747594
what's the intensity of VD like?
>>35747594
Do you have that texas method troubleshooting chart?
>>35747614
>>35747579
yes, I've met both of them
>>35747594
>is it time to change to candito program?
thats a meme lad
>>35747594
doing 6x3 with 87% for squats and bench
diddlys are 3x3 with 87% and then paused deads as assistance
Changed to triples because the 5x5 @85% worked for the first months, then it was too much to recover...tried the 3x5 and everything went pretty well but ID was struggling again, then I worked with 6x3 and made gains until this month when ID were a shit again
>ID is 3x2
>>35747614
>>35747629
yes and volume is kinda medium/hard at least for ME, I feel a full recovery to ID so I'm not sure if volume is too low (I dont think so)
>>35747642
pls explain :(
>>35747642
Not a meme but you're not wrong either
>>35747594
Advanced TM would be okay. Wouldn't go wrong with c6w but holy shit lower your maxes enough to be able to do the WHOLE PROGRAM without failing a rep. Save failed reps for on the platform
>>35747954
>but holy shit lower your maxes enough to be able to do the WHOLE PROGRAM without failing a rep
then I should keep my VD the same and decrease my ID weight?
Im>>35747731 for details
>>35747629
how does core work fit into TM
>>35748042
should i buy a bosu ball
>>35748042
I'm >>35747731
I do ab work on ID when I finish my heavy / speed work (ab wheel and dragon flags are god tier)
the important point here is: you MUST NOT do ab work BEFORE ID, you need a fresh, totally recover core to lift heavy weights
>>35748028
If anything lower VD so you're recovered enough to push progress on ID. The mantra of TM is to progress on as little stimulus as possible

TRUE
anyway I found a nice advanced variation to ID on the book, I'll try it
>>35748684
Good luck lad. I believe in you.
>>35748717
190 lb walking weight by June, so roughly 15 lbs. Hopefully allowing for a water cut to the 83s. Praying for no strength lost, just like last time.
>>35748951
so captain babby thinks he compete with the big boys of the 83kg class huh?
>>35748951
>Good luck lad. I believe in you.
Thanks, friend. And good luck to you.
>>35748951
>83s
how tall are you lad?
>>35748951
Wew, that's quite a bit of a cut.
190 or so is my eventual goal as well, but it's skill tests week so I'm enjoying some high calorie days beforehand in interrupt my cut.
which oddly enough, in my experience, makes cutting/training afterwards much easier, after overeating that is.
>>35748962
Last year at provincials only 3 guys in the 83s even showed up. I like my chances.
>>35748985
Too tall to be in the 83s. 5'11". Just want to try it once.
>>35749016
Yeah, I'm p vain too, so it would be nice to not be entirely fat this summer when I go swimming at the water hole
>>35749058
>Too tall to be in the 83s. 5'11". Just want to try it once.
haha you're gonna look like a fuckin twink with noodle arms and shit
>>35749069
Already got spaghetti arms, m8, not worried.
Pretty happy friends. Bench testing today and it went pretty well.
The way I have my program set up, the last week I do testing where I take 98.5% of the training max I used for the cycle and try to perform between 2-5 reps with it. I only expect to be able to move it twice, which would have me add 5lbs to the lift's max for the next cycle. If I did this every cycle for a year, I'd add 35lbs to that lift, which, in the long run, I think is pretty solid. Today I moved it for 3, which means I'll put 10lbs on the bench max for next cycle, which I'm very happy about.

Can you post it? Haven't read practical programming in over a year
Also saved the fuck out of that picture t b h
>>35749112
Thanks buddy.
Haven't weighed in a while but I'd say about 200ish
>>35749113
Trying to make it better piece by piece.
>>35749122
Not purposefully. I've actually been trying to very slowly cut for a couple weeks but then I got snowed in and said fuck it and ate whatever for a few days.
I think it helps, though not as much as with DL. I've never tried it with squat. I think I have to think about everything a bit more with bench so you have to mentally dial back the agression to set up properly, where with DL you can kinda just go at it without having to think as much.
>>35749164
hmm interesting. i've used it for both squat and dl but i figured with bench it wouldn't be as useful. maybe i'll try it on wednesday :^)
>>35749184
Be careful with it. The first time I used it for bench I got way excited and fucked up my setup and let my ass come off the bench.
>>35749200
hmm will do. thanks.
Well, lads. I dun goofed. I think I've strained either my lower traps or my thoracic spinal erectors.
This is why you don't attempt max effort front squats on five hours sleep.

Do her nudes actually exist or am i being rused?
>>35749226
>Do her nudes actually exist or am i being rused?
Sure. Sean likes to show them to people so he can pound his dick in a sweaty, c u c k -fury.
Also, deadlifts.

But Bodorio attempts max effort squat, bench and deadlift on like 3 hours sleep, all on the same day
>>35749278
But not front squat.
>>35749263
only if you say Sean is the greatest poster and contributer to PLG general and /sp/
Lads fucking help. Deadlift a SHIT, squats went okay to day, bench went great, but deadlifts, in spite of feeling 'okay', had to get cut short. My last two or three warmups I felt this weird tingling kind of feeling on the outside of my left knee/hamstring area. Almost like warm water trickling down the area or a loose thread brushing against it, getting more intense as I went up in weight. Again, it didn't really hurt but I still felt like I needed to stop. What the fuck was it and how do I make sure it doesn't happen again?

>>35749328
I seriously fucking considered that I might have pissed or shit myself. No discoloration and no lasting sensation now, so I don't *think* I tore anything. Also, getting ready to ditch my belt for deadlifts altogether, it's making it hard to keep my lumbar region flat. Super shitty idea or what?
>>35749350
Try wearing it a little higher? Worked for me.
>>35749376
Already am t.b.h.
>>35749391
Dunno then. Could be too tight, could just have a tight lower back. Have you filmed yourself to see if your back is actually arched? When i firsf got my belt it felt like my back was arched like crazy but it was actually fine - it was just the belt feeling weird.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I've been training with Greyskull LP for a while and my lifts are:
squat 3x5 102.5kg /226lbs
bench 3x5 70kg / 154lbs (total shit I know)
ohp 3x5 53.5kg / 118lbs
deadlift 1x3 maxed at 142.5kg / 314lbs (deloaded now to work on form)
Am I ready to jump into something like Texas Method? what would be the best course of action for me assuming I want to keep getting stronger?
I liked the upper body approach of Greyskull LP
>>35749426
same here
its fucking annoying
>>35749412
I've herniated a disc in the past, I'm very conscious of what's going on with my lower back. Usually it's fine but too often I round a bit to break the floor. But lads fucking seriously somebody tell me what the tingling was about. Please tell me it's just because I never foam roll and it'll go away if I start.

Uh... k.
Anyway, I get to start training again tomorrow, with relative consistency, which will be cool.
What are everyone's plans for the next few months of training?
>>35749137
something like this:
The first progression is to keep using triples, but perform two or three sets instead of just one. The sets can either be ascending or descending, though ascending is preferred. The benefit of descending sets is that the heaviest triple can be done first while the lifter is fresh, but the lifter will experience greater fatigue and need to drop the weight by a greater margin in subsequent sets compared to if he had used ascending sets. Ascending sets will have yield more work at higher percentages. For example, a lifter can squat 515x3, 530x3, and 545x3 in an ascending structure. That same lifter could do 550x3 or 555x3 on his first triple in a descending scheme (it would be his first set). However, he would need to make a significant drop for his second set – probably below 530 – and the result would be a lower tonnage than the ascending scheme.
Ascending triples can be used to garner more high intensity work in squatting. Performing multiple sets is important for having the “endurance” at higher intensities. It is crucial for powerlifters because they need to perform multiple maximal reps in a meet. This is how the next progression was developed.
>>35749137
>>35749786
then:
The second method is to use three ascending doubles; this is the most effective Squat Intensity Day set/rep scheme for a powerlifter using this program. The goal of using ascending sets of anything on heavy squat days is to increase the weight on the final set to push through PR territory. Typically a lifter at this stage of progression will only increase the final set by five pounds every heavy squat session. The lifter will start the ascending doubles with 10 pound jumps between each set and increase all of the sets by five pounds every heavy session (e.g. 600x2, 610x2, and 620x2 would be progressed to 605x2, 615x2, and 625x2 in the next session). This progression will eventually slow, and this is usually identified by having a very difficult final set in the last heavy squat session (or missing a rep entirely). When this occurs, the lifter will schedule the five pound increase on the final set, yet will increase each set by 15 pounds instead of ten. This will decrease the overall tonnage, but still hit the higher intensity on the final double. Once this method slows, the lifter will do the same but with 20 pound jumps. For example, if a lifter barely makes 630x2 on the last set with 15 pound increases, then their next heavy session would use 20 pound increases with the final set at 635x2.
THIS IS FOR SQUATS
>>35749786
>>35749798
>>35749137
this book is a mine of gold, a lot of variations to keep progressing before moving to an advanced programming like sheiko
>>35749819
reminds me of this
>>35749780
For now I'm gonna continue at least the bench programming I made for myself because it seemed to work pretty well. Still to see whether the same holds true for squat and DL, might end up switching to a canned program if they don't go well.
>>35749888
Hey you're a PTfag right? >>35749309 What's up with my leg? Sumo btw.
I squat as much as my bench, which is around my bodyweight. Rows and cleans are also equal to BW. I can deadlift 2xBW easily and linearly progressing on it.
Why can't I squat more than my bodyweight? It's like an invisible force takes all strength from my knees and pelvis region when I'm squatting.
>>35749950
Sound like it's possibly a nerve thing. A lot of time nerve issues will give you odd feeling without pain. I have experienced this a bit myself when I fucked up a nerve a bit and my left quad was numb for a month but no pain.
Give it a bit of time and see if it resolves itself, because it usually does with those kind of issues. Wouldn't really know what to tell you if it continues other than see a professional.

No, it's just her lifting. That's not enough for me man, I need more.
Been running this modified version of texas method for a few months with great success(except my deadlift has been meh)

volume bench
Wednesday
front squat
3x8 bench variation
Friday
intensity squat
volume bench
saturday
deadlift
I want to add a lighter pulling day(maybe 4x4 @ like 70%). thinking of moving front squats to saturday and adding that 2nd deadlift session to wednesday. thoughts?

agree with this whole post tBh. only problem is the threads do help new people and most new fitness people are on /fit/ not /asp/ so we'll reach less people who might actually need advice.
>>35751599
seems kind of low for you t b h

urself that is... LMAO
>>35751674
That's before accounting for exercise, so it'll probably be closer to 2700 on most days.
>>35751670
Yeah. And /fit/ is kind of fun. I wish we could have a sit down with thew powers that be, and just figure out what it is we're doing to illicit the thread deletions.
>>35751666
Thanks lad. Last time I did this I was eating three heads of cabbage a week. Hopefully I'll be able to maintain my strength again too.
so I was talking to this guy who referred to himself as a powerlifter and he can't even squat 5 plate
I couldn't help but laughing as I casually lift for fun and can squat that

I made it to page 3, couldn't find a single fit-related post out of all of the shitposts. It's kind of amazing really.
When should I actually start cutting? If one day I wanted to compete (lifting for about a year with a few months off due to studying), and I'm currently something like 14-15% bf. Should I just continue to bulk?
>>35751993
>When should I actually start cutting?
When you can't make your weight class.
>Should I just continue to bulk?
Yes.

keep us updated
>>35752115
I think you put more effort into your masturbation blog posts than your lifting ones.
>>35752068
I thought primarily you were supposed to be the most muscular in relation to your body mass to be the most competitive though? Within reason of course
>>35752351
Yes, but that's an end-goal. If you're 6'1 and 170lbs (to pick a random height/weight), there's no point worrying about whether you're going to be competitive at 181 in your next meet. You worry about what you have to do to achieve a weight where you're most competitive for your height. That isn't achieved by a beginner at 15% BF.
Also the breadth of weight classes means sometimes you get caught in between - too heavy to cut down successfully for the next class, nowhere near the top limit of your current weight class. So you either eat yourself fat or give no fucks and compete underweight.
>>35752351
How does your post contradict the previous one you replied to?
>>35752412
Is there a way I can work out what I should be aiming for? What would my weight-class be as a 5'9 manlet?
>>35752414
It didn't really, looking back.
>>35752465
Depends on how good you want to be.
>>35752465
It varies a bit depending on your build and division (I'm ignoring drug use for the moment, because it ain't really relevant) but IIRC the average drug-free national competitor at 5'9 would be somewhere in the vicinity of 198, give or take a couple of weight classes.
>>35752486
>>35752465
just a warning that should be pretty obvious, this isn't absolute.
Josh hancott has several world records and is 5'9 @ 74kg.
just a general guideline
>>35752515
it's treason then?
>>35752486
is this ipf or roidaroo?
>>35752532
pretty sure ipf.
>>35752465
You can be 5'9 and safely weigh ~230 pounds and not be too fat.
>>35752528
It's not treason if I was never on your side.
>>35752532
IDK. I saved it off of here a while back.
>>35752465
top-end at the peak of your career, probably 205?
>>35752557
kek you deleted both of those posts nerd.
>>35752560
>not walking around at 270 and competing at 220
>>35752568
I decided Ped Coan was a better example of a jacked midget, but I got his height wrong like a tard so I ragequit.
>>35752568
>squat progress about equal to mine at almost 20kg less bw
fuck you joff
>>35752486
Sure, I imagine someone progresses down that chart as they get better
>>35752504
Alright, I was imagining somewhere around the mid to late 70s. I think if I would just slowly try to head in that direction from now own, then just do cuts as necessary to fit in. I'm currently sitting at around 67-68 at this point
>>35752588
squat feels like shit rn if its any consolation and i am worried about my ability to even squat an equal PR after 11 weeks of training let alone a new PR.
DL and bench feel A+ though so here comes a 15lb PR on bench and deadlift
>>35752589
that's probably a lower goal than you should shoot for long time. i'd say at least upper 80s and cut to 83s to compete if not higher, but hey its your choice
>>35752586
Poor duffin. idk how he even did that to himself.
>>35752608
If you don't hit a new PR you have to squat exclusively with the SSB for a training cycle. See, you just need the appropriate motivation.
>Poor duffin. idk how he even did that to himself
tfw I never intend to cut weight for a meet.
When do you guys put on a belt? A specific percentage, weight, something more esoteric?
>>35752736
anything past the bar, unless i forget for the first plate in which case i put it on after that
>>35752736
I put it on whenever I need to squat to use the toilet or sit down in a chair or what ever.
I've been using a belt so much it has become a crutch and I can't physically squat without one
>>35752808
This. I also need to use my squat plug at all times now, just feels comfier and I don't have to try to hold my shits in anymore
>>35751049
Meh. I have all those rares
>>35747272
After seeing and posting in that arch thread I can see why you guys have your own little general. You seem cool, I will hang out here from now.
>>35747272
not /plg/ but who dis?

Garagebro. One of two lolfed guys
>>35749443
How many times have you reset?
Also, when you fail the 3x5, move to 3/3/3+ before you reset.
You can also try running it like 5/5/5+/5/5 a last time before moving on.

What's the problem?
There are literally people coming into plg just to post about how shit the thread is without evening reading it.
Whew.

Another example of why TM is fucking dumb as fucking fuck.
i'd appreciate a deadlift form check, does this seem like lower back rounding to you? I've tried everything and still really can't hit perfecty straight back position , is it just a mobility thing?
https://youtu.be/rnB-_yrP1CQ
>>35754226
Absolutely normal and no problem as long as the thread picks up at some point.
During dead times it's either dead or spammed with shit from 2-3 people shit posting, that has ever been so.
>>35754040
get the sheiko app

That is because you are fatigued, but yes I agree

Good afternoon there, wageslave!
Don’t mind me, I just woke up after staying up until 4 am last night. You wouldn’t know such pleasures though, as I’m sure the boss man needs you at work bright and early!
Think on the bright side though; the week is more than half way over! Keep up the good work! Tick tock!
>>35754390
Stop tormenting me. It's Monday. The week has just begun.
At least the food is subsidised ;_;
>>35754404
Curtosey of doing random, unchallenging shit as work.
But yea, even without that work is unpleasant.
>>35754409
Sad thing is neet hood isn't a choice. To live I must work.
Yup. Unchallenging and poorly paid - but comfortable. Unlike hospitality which is very much uncomfortable.
>>35754404
BREAK FREE
GO TO AUS
GET PART TIME JOB FOR FOOD/RENT
LIVE IN DINGY APARTMENT
PLAY VIDEO GAMES
LIFT WEIGHTS
>>35754430
There isn't a visa for that :(
>>35754428
Well, it was a choice during a considerable part of your life, lets not forget that.
>>35754436
are any of your great grandparents or below a different nationality, eg. french or something?
I figure if anybody knows about squats its you guys so here goes. I watched the Chris Duffin video on how to squat and I'm getting most of it, but how do I keep my ass muscles working during the whole lift? It seems like they kind of quit on me half way down until I start coming back up.
>>35754667
You'll use your glutes to keep your knees out somewhat. Think about keeping tension through the front of your hips, almost as if you're trying to keep your hips pushed forward throughout the lift, like you're fighting with the eccentric sort of. Will have the dual effect of keeping glutes engaged and your knees from going into valgus.
>>35754541
That feeling when I have dual national citizenship...
