okay sean. I'll remember to stop lifting more than you.
>>35815380
i never failed if i broke the floor when i pulled conventional either tbf lad.
>oof
yeah...
Can I get a form check please?

arch more
don't wear jeans when you lift
get a bench that won't kill you someday

>i never failed if i broke the floor when i pulled conventional either tbf lad
Oompa loompa privilege.
This is the obligatory what's everyone training today/tomorrow post.
>>35815390
Wow this janitor sure is enthusiastic. Anybody know what they pay him?
>>35815404
think i'm taking the day off tomorrow. feeling a bit beat up
Why is everyone suggesting that wide grip on the bench is stronger than a normal grip?
I realize that the rom is shorter, but don't you lose a lot force and strength if you allow your forearms to have more than 90 degree bend?
Basically makes it like a fly then??
FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT MOD RUIN AN ENTIRE GENERAL, GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU PIECE OF SHIT
>he does it FOR FREE
Ahahahahahah
AHAHAHAHAH
Seriously, how about you spend your fucking time deleting the other waste of space threads you weeaboo virgin piece of shit.
>>35815397
Your setup is a little awkward but the movement is fine.
>>35815417
But you didn't even lift anything today. :^)
Block pull bonanza:
>6" blocks 585 x 8+ x 5
>Block rows
>Assorted BB stuff
>>35815419
Some people are stronger wider, others narrower. Play with it and see what works. Keep in mind that it's not a one-and-done, I found my ideal form and this is what I'm using forever, kind of thing.
>>35815410
They pay him in self-respect. So yeah, the usual.
>>35815419
Some people do, some people don't. It has a lot to do with proportions, ROM and technical proficiency.
>>35815435
What are block rows
>>35815435
i lifted 90%x1 :^)
First meet tomorrow lads in the GBPF, been lifting around 1 year, ran Sheiko for the last 3 months. Opening 160/90/180. Then going 175/100/195-200 2nd attempts, then 185/105/210 is the goal for a 500kg total at 83kg.
Here's my gear ready anything else I need that's not already IPF an requirement? Got singlet and all other clothes, shoes, sleeves

Also, favourite food post weigh in to retain as much water as possible? Gonna have to drop about 1.5kg of water to make weight. Thinking of doing bacon sandwiches for dem protons and salt
>>35815443
Rows off the blocks. Not trying to be a dick, they're just Pendlay style rows off the same blocks I use for the pulls.
>>35815444
Everyone knows nothing under 100% counts on a max attempt. It's been a rule since I made it up just now.
>>35815447
typically i get too nervous to eat real food so i brought peanut butter and had a tablespoon or two of that. bring some powerade or gatorade as well as a ton of water.
>>35815459
then shit i've lifted 270lbs this week.
>>35815437
>>35815435
So basically I have to invest time and sessions into trying other grip width?
But I can't imagine a possible good way of determining that.
See, I am sure that it would take quite a few sessions to get used to say a wider grip.
Say it takes me 5 session to bench the same with a wider grip than what I bench now - so what did I gain now? Now I bench with a wider grip and still have no idea if that is more optimal or not.
I'd have to compare progress with grip a go progress with grip b and that I cannot do as I obviously am subject of my own comparison.
Really can't get my head around how one would test this properly.
>>35815419
Everyone benches better with a wide grip - unless they've had an injury
>>35815435
>>35815437
Ignore these morons
>>35815447
Good luck senpai
However, you should have entered as a 105kg lifter. Cutting for your first meet is a really bad idea.
>>35815466
Just experiment with other grips during warm up/back off/volume sets. You're making a mountain out of a molehill here.
>>35815464
>only lifted 270lbs all week
>needs a rest day
Get it together, friend.
>>35815468
Only people who are stronger in a max grip is people with gangly long arms, and people with stubby t-rex arms, people with normal arms are mostly strongest in a normal width bench.
You know nothing about bench press, you have a shit bench press, so you have no right to be spouting absolutes, without anything to back it up.
>>35815468
Making yourself friends again, huh.
What's a wide grip then? Do explain.
I already grip like a hand outside of shoulder with, so that my forearms are angled 90 degrees a on chest.
Is that wide?
>>35815490
too much volume man. clearly overreached. gotta cut back. maybe 135lbs volume next week.
>>35815468
This. Also more stability. It's kinda like the sumo deadlift of benching :^)
>>35815493
Widest legal. Index fingers 810mm apart (which is where the ring is on a PL bar, a WL bar is 850mm, and that's ring finger on ring for widest legal)
>>35815492
>know nothing about bench press
>ad hominem
>muh absolutes
Mate I know more powerlifters IRL than you. We all agree. Widest legal or gtfo
>>35815490
Well, I doubt that any grip other than what I bench for ever since would feel as good / strong without practicing it a lot.
But yea, I can play around with a wider grip during warmup sets, maybe I am wrong and they magically are stronger right off the bat.
>>35815464
Cheers brah good idea
>>35815473
Lel I was weighing 81-82 about a month ago in the mornings, guess I've made some gains cos I'm now 82.5-83, and like 84-5 in the evenings, should be alright just gonna dehydrate slightly to make sure I'm safe
>>35815502
Tbh after burning yourself out like this you should probably do something sensible like deload to a PVC pipe.
legit question...whenever I squat and keep hands closer to my neck, I get a cramp after a few reps in my right shoulder and delt...what can I do to fix this WITHOUT widening my grip...I get a stronger lift when it's tighter.
>>35815447
good luck dude.
simple calories, a light sandwich is good, trail mix isntr bad.
bring lots of liquid calories, gatorade powder is goat.
make sure you have plenty of weater available to you.
if its a big meet that will take a while, bringing a pillow isnt a bad idea.
Finally got the chest implant lads. IPF can suck it.
Yesterday I did a sensible session for equipped!
I took a normal sheiko session for #30, 3x2@80, 2x2@82, 2x1@90, and I added 20pc and then another 5kg just to be sure.
And I managed to do a PR walkout. And nearly hit depth with it too.
So I'm going to be confident I can hit 250ish in the actual meet.
I'm going to try equipped sumo deadlifts today
>>35815528
Srs though, what's to stop me from getting huge fake tits and breaking bench records?
>>35815505
I see, hm.
We have random non standard bars here, so I guess I will have to bring a measuring tape to see where I am.
Here a pic of my grip, I guess it's already pretty close to max legal.
>>35815528
>DaveHoff.jpg
>>35815521
shoulder dislocates with a band
>>35815518
nah i have like 8 more weeks of overreaching tBh.
>>35815534
Nothing apart from being laughed at
>>35815534
The rules
>>35815535
If your non-standard bars match my non-standard bars... there's about a 3 finger difference between where the rings are and where they should be. so i start with my index on the rings then move it out to where my ring finger is.
>>35815505
You know more terrible powerlifters who only got better with max legal because they just got stronger in general, Not because of max legal being stronger for everyone.
I bet you that most of the people you know who try max legal grip felt like absolute shit doing it at first, whereas if a position is truly stronger, it should be translating to more weight on the bar from the get-go.
I honestly feel bad for any lifter who takes advice from you, because you'd be a detriment to their total, and to top it off you'd bring your poisonous mindset to them.
Faggot kill urself lmao
>>35815535
Yeah you're pretty wide. When you have a competition standard bar you can start doing cheats like Jap grip and arching
>commercial gym bench, rack and plates
You have my sympathies
>>35815542
What rule? I haven't been able to find a rule against implants under the skin
>>35815548
I see, but I guess the chance is really low that our bars are built with same measurements.
Do you lads have pics from the same perspective so I can see what that grip width looks like?
>>35815550
>whereas if a position is truly stronger, it should be translating to more weight on the bar from the get-go.
Where did you pull this from? It's not true. Counter example, pulling with a straight back.
>>35815550
That's not always going to be true. It takes time to refine technique (and holy shit is superwide benching reliant on technical proficiency for most people) and build up the relevant muscles if you've mostly been benching medium or close for a long period.
I still don't think everyone should bench wide but major technique changes often have a breaking-in period.
>>35815558
>pulling with a straight back is stronger
Seriously you are clueless, please explain why it's stronger
>inb4 you inadvertently give an explanation for why its only stronger for locking out
>>35815569
>Seriously you are clueless,
Less clueless than you.
How to explain? More efficient force transfer from hips and legs to the bar.
How do I know how much weight should I start with?
I'm planning on doing Starting Strength.
>>35815563
>technical proficiency
What is this buzzword even about?
And what cues / things to respect more / differently in a widd grip bench?
>>35815573
you read the book that tells you laddo.
pretty sure you start with the bar.
>>35815574
need to flare less, need to place the bar in a different spot on your hand, need to make sure your shoulders aren't dying through rehab and correct positioning.
This is not /asp/
>>35815574
i meant tuck less, sorry.
>>35815574
Wide-grip benching (particularly the moderate arch/high leg drive version) has a pretty narrow margin for error compared to a narrower grip for many people. Its like sumo pulling - you get everything right, the bar flies up. You get a tiny bit out of the groove and it goes nowhere.
What's a good ohp for me lads? (144kg bw)
I seriously hope 1xbw isn't the cutoff or i'd be fucked for life
Tried OHP again yesterday and only hit 92.5kg 8x2, hopefully I can get to doing 100kg for same rep scheme by the end of this cycle (6 weeks) and hopefully it at least brings my bench up a little bit, since it's pretty weak atm, due to never doing them.
>>35815552
Alright, I'll measure what you suggested out of curiousity anyways.
Right now I grip ring finger which matches one of your bad types, so maybe that's where I am at.
Pretty happy with the gym overall despite it being a commercial one.
Most annoying thing is that I struggle unracking bench as the weight is in a nasty height, I can't use chalk and I can't DL without shoes.
But meh, 20 bucks a month.
>>35815587
Makes sense now, got me wondering.
Well, I'll measure that shit and try max grip (if I don't yet do it) and see how it feels, thanks for your input!
>>35815608
Can't use chalk as in, someone told you not to? Otherwise, just bring chalk in a black bag and don't be too obvious about it. As for shoes, neither can you deadlift without shoes in a competition, so get some deadlift slippers.
>>35815606
For a superheavy? You're looking at about a 120-140 press to be considered a solid openweight in strongman. Unless I'm way off base.
On that note, we should be seeing some new state records in the log lift pretty shortly.
>>35815623
I think I might start training for strongman next year, I'm starting to really like the look of it, plus the aspiration of becoming a pro strongman down the road sounds like fun
>>35815623
What competition? And what are the records?
>>35815628
Its a good time to be getting into it now they've got the state league starting to run consistently. Lots of events going.
>>35815617
Can't as in explicitly told and violated as often as possible without an actual ban.
I think I was really stupid about the usage of my liquid chalk, I want aware that you can put it on without it getting white and visible at all while still having the same effect.
You are right about the shoes yea, should finally get some.
I am currently using really squishy ones and they are really annoying when doing sumo for example because I literally slide out of my shoes.
>>35815634
Tomorrow is the Vic Record Breakers meet out at Iron Rev. Max dead, max log, 15m super yoke and 30m farmers. Weight class winners get an invite to the aussie arnolds IIRC.
I think the vic SHW records are a 327.5 deadlift, 150 log, 400kg super yoke in 13-ish seconds and a 147.5/hand farmers for 30m
>>35815645
That could just be a sign of bad technique desu. I used to have the same problem when I just started out on sumo.
>>35815640
Is strongman is australia tested? Cause if i'm to go down the strongman route I feel that I'm gonna have to start "supplementing" otherwise I'd be limiting myself in that sport
>>35815657
>only 327.5 deadlift
Holy shit time to start hitching and put on a suit and break some records kek
>>35815661
Most likely yea, it's not like I actually deadlift anyways, so yea.
Happy with the gym and its equipment after all.
>>35815665
>and put on a suit
It's not the fun and games you're expecting
>>35815532
>going to try
Hehe, if your suit is as tight as your bench shirt, have fun reaching the bar.
>>35815670
*learn how to use a suit
Also they have bendaroony bars to make it even easier too lmao
>>35815665
Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure the amateur division is tested (well, on the honour system in some cases) and the pro is untested. Not that it matters outside of the Arnold and the various state strongest man comps because nothing else is big enough to have or care about the divisions.
>>35815676
That may well be a stiff bar/no suit pull. Strongman (at least in vic) is completely fucking erratic about its deadlift rules and equipment.
>>35815675
It is as tight as the shirt. It's a nightmare. I actually pull worse in the conv deadlift suit.
I'm trying my WS squat suit for sumo deadlifts.
>>35815696
Fair enough, gonna still be fun next year to try out strongman desu
>>35815708
Same. When I try to pull in a suit, it hurts so much that I can't focus on setting up properly, so anything over my unequipped max I just fuck up.

I want to do Hepburn with 4 sessions per week. Is this setup right?
Day A :
Squat : 8x2 -> build to 8x3 adding a rep per workout (9 sessions total), then add 5kg and repeat
Deadlift : 4x1 -> build to 10x1 (6 sessions total), then add 5kg and repeat
Glute work 3-4 x 10-12
Ab work same
Day B :
Bench 8x2 -> build to 8x3, then add 4kg and repeat
OHP 8x2 -> build to 8x3 then add 4kg and repeat
Chins
Face Pulls
ABxABxx / AxBxABx / ABxAxBx depending on uni schedule
>>35815802
Also deloading every 4.5 weeks (right when I complete the 8x3) , either half or a full deload week and beginning the new cycle with the new weights)

Asked this question before but didn't see anything....I have wide hips. About to get inzer belt....my navel is much smaller than hips. Where should I measure? Can I wear it above hips? Thanks.
>powershitters
>>35815901
Do you know how a belt works? For that matter, have you even seen someone wearing a lifting belt?
>>35815917
I have never worn one. I've researched it. Most say measure along navel. I know they are 4 inches wide though so I'm just worried I will have to wear it too high to not have hips in the way.
>>35815917
Yeah, you're supposed to wear it around your chest.
what happened to supermong
>>35815931
Never understood why so high, abs arent even up there ??
>>35815971
>equipment isn't that important for deadlifts
>he's so fat he can't set up properly with a belt low down.
He might get away with putting it on backwards, but that isn't easy.
>>35815971
Don't need to understand why, it just works
>>35815557
>I see, but I guess the chance is really low that our bars are built with same measurements.
You DO know that a lot of companies just go with weightlifting knurl marks rather than powerlifting knurl marks right? In inches, weightlifting knurl marks are roughly 36" apart and powerlifting marks are roughly 32" apart.
>>35815971
I tried that belt position 2 weeks ago, put it ever so slightly lower than that, I felt MUCH tighter, like insanely tight, like almist had trouble setting up if I took a breath before lifting the bar, and according to everyone it help keep my back straighter as well
>>35815390
Question, why do powerlifters arch their backs so much when benching?
>>35815534
Women have competed with huge fake tits, problem is that tits sit further up when you bench and it's not a strong position to press from. Plus you can damage the implant like that
>>35816010
To reduce the range of motion of their bench press and be more competitive
>>35816010
Because its allowed within the rules and generally lets you lift more weight. Also easier on the shoulders, but that's often a secondary consideration.
>>35816010
-cuts range of motion
-potentially easier on the shoulders
>>35816009
Chris pls
If I'm on the Texas Method and doing 225 pounds x 5 x 5 for the volume day for bench, what should be intensity days look like?
>>35816026
>>35816025
>>35816027
So is it not better when training to bench flat, then in competitions bench arched?
>>35816027
>>35816026
>>35816025
Ofc power shitters cheat the bench press too
A flat back is needed to build proper chest muscles, you fat fucks are only cheating yourself.
>>35816036
VD *should* be 90% of Friday's 5RM so your next ID *should* be 255 if you're adding 5 lbs each time
>>35816042
No. Technically flat bench doesn't exist, your spine is not flat, secondly you need to have your shoulders retracted otherwise you are at a greater risk of injury. Having your shoulders retracted creates an arch.
Training with an arch only makes you stronger due to over loading.
>>35816048
What am I training when I'm benching arched then?
>>35816057
Feet in the air will get rid of arch
>>35816060
How to use momentum with your feet to move the bar back and forwards
>>35816042
specificity lad. just as it isn't a good idea to always train ATG high bar paused squats then do low bar parallel squats in comp or only do deficit conventional deadlifts then switch to sumo in comp. Specificity is probably the most important aspect of training tBh.
>>35816042
You can do whatever you want and try whatever you want. Some powerlifters do different variations in grip width or with feet up on the bench or doing floor presses which are better ways of getting different training stimulus then benching "flatter"
>>35816076
Not if your shoulders are retracted.
The only retard who ive seen swear by this is #team orange
>>35816056
What if you can't hit 5RMs every week?
You literally do NOT need to train higher bar, flat bench or conventional deadlifts as a power lifter.
Doing so is a waste of time and excuse for poor training.
>>35816042
Not really (although a lot of lifters who do use a big arch do some of their training without it - its very hard to hold that position for more than a few reps, so its not always suitable). Optimal technique takes practice.
>>35816094
O I assumed you were talking about arch in the lumbar spine. Wouldn't suggest not retracting shoulders...
>>35816102
You should probably consult Lascek's TM or Practical Programming as to what's going wrong, provided it's not an isolated event. If you've been running TM for a while you can choose to cycle ID reps and go for a 3RM if you fail to hit 5 to keep the weight moving up.
>>35816102
You can do 1rm

>>35816204
Pretty fat desu, not insanely fat, but still very much a fatty
>Btw why isn't Jesus posting?
He has ascended from this place
>>35816211
For a lot of people, having the bar up that high is meant to contribute more to midback stability.
>>35816226

Hey lads, bench only bro here ( I go to regular meetings too but meeeh)
I plan to do some bodybuilding style training next month, like 6-8weeks to get some beach muscles, what can I do so I don't hurt my bench too much? What program? I'm thinking about doing PPLPPLx, doing comp bench once a week (something like 8x2) on fist push day and then doing 5x12 dumbell bench on the other push.
Any routine bros? I'm just getting tired of doing only strength. I'll be back after the 6-8 weeks.
>>35816296
Also, bench was 152.5 kg last time I maxed it (2 weeks ago, almost no acumulated fatigue)
>>35816296
Lol
>>35816270
Like i said, I'm fat lad, I don't deny it lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B18F3o2c98o
Is what I look like most recently, I'm fat af, but not like, erm.. morbidly obese I guess?
>>35816251
Who are you? :O
I've been coming in later than usually lately, like 6:30pm-7:30pm usually, cause I've been too lazy
>>35816275
Imo we should let him leave this wretched place
>>35816304
kek
>>35816309
I'm a guy that's thinking about joining but my lifts aren't good enough yet
(don't even have 300 wilks)
>>35816319
Wait, where have you seen me then if you haven't joined the gym kek
Also, you should definitely join no matter how strong you are, and if you aren't good enough for wilks' standards, you can have Jesus coaching you, which would be fucking awesome since he's an awesome coach.
>>35816331
i've seen you around
>>35816319
I also know this sub 300 wilks feel, been lifting 4 months still not anywhere close
>>35816349
A-alright then, say hi next time then you shitter, if this isn't b8
>>35816361
just look for a guy who's pale as a ghost with dead blue eyes

Don't think I'm gay or anything but I'm gonna stroke your dick when I see you btw ;^)
hey i have left hip/hamstring injury hurts when i squat hurts injury heavy 5x5
i want to do 5 sets of high reps 3x per week like 8-15 reps maybe sets until my injury gets better
is that a good idea?
>6 sets of hack squats yesterday
i want to cut my legs off, but i had a good day besides that
now the question i was going to ask is, when should i start using a belt? is there a specific number? a specific wilks? just anytime?
thnx senpai
>>35816406
>is there a specific number? a specific wilks?
no
> just anytime?
ye
what's the minimum wilks needed to wake up one day and bench 200kg
>>35816406
A belt is only effective for people with a wilks in the following ranges 141-170, 235-297 and 326-250. I hope this helps.
>>35816433
by my calculations, 400, at minimum.
>>35816424
ok thanks, i'll probably start using it for deadlifts then
>>35815390
leaving for my first meet in 3 hours brehs, nervous as fuck tbqh
>>35816571
What are you going for?
>>35816578
160/100/200 at 83kg
my dead 1RM is 220 but it might not go through. Just getting some experience and gonna hit on PL chicks
Hook grip and sumo feels so comfy lads
Nearing 93kg. Keep bulking up or shed down some fat then bulk up again to fill out that class? I don't compete(yet) so maybe it's not even useful to think about weight classes?
Pic is me.
is this the right place to post front squat form check?

I don't think we compete in that lift friend, head over to /twinkfaggotgeneral/(aka OWG), they would probably be able to help you better.
>>35816587
460 kg total is still good for your first meet at your weight. You'll probably learn plenty both from just doing the lifts and potential advice from others there.
Here's my question to PLG.
If I want to be a powerlifter, or, if I want to train in a powerlifting routine - should I, or do I NEED, to adhere to IPF rules and regulations? Are they the be-all end-all of powerlifting?
Because I see things I don't like (like that fucking bench webm) and it makes it looked a bit retarded.
Stats for relevancy - raw only
Skwaat - 190kg
Dead - 230kg
Bench - 155kg
Also, who saw Pete Rubish's 850lb dead? FUARk man
>>35816799
Reminds me of what Koklyaev said. Basically, if you can smesh a number under IPF rules, you can do it in any other fed. Might just wanna practice the feds allowed technique a couple of months before competing.
>Did you hear, Becky? Anon squats low-bar!
>Hahaha what a loser! Come, let's see what Laio and Xu are up to.
>>35816799
IPF aren't the be-all, but they are the largest fed and the strictest of the big feds.
Its not a huge difference though. Maybe an inch of squat depth and having to keep your heels down on bench.

Nothing feels worse than cutting
>>35816871
Relatively high volume and frequency don't go well with cutting. What programming are you running? SS?
>>35816886
Greyskull LP
>>35816844
>Chinese manlets
>>35816886
I'd go with something like Madcow since it's easier on the body and its weekly progress, should be easier to recover from. Might wanna try something more bodybuilding-ish like a push/pull routine until you get to where you want to be weight wise.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE

Honestly, how the fuck does she do this?
Is it possible for me to do this shit?
>>35817058
she's a meme lifter
>>35817084
Out benches most people here. Close to Bodorios bench...
>>35817095
That's in multi-ply gear.
Isley could outdo that if we gave him an equally good bench shirt.
>>35817095
that was a board bench with a fucking bench shirt
>>35817110
Huh, a fully grown 200lbs + male can out bench a teenage girl?
Why does this teenage girl still out bench you though?
>>35817112
http://youtu.be/RgVfkTyjNKI
I'd like to see your teenage sister bench 150kg.
She can't? Oh.
>>35817058
>people take stuff like this seriously
>>35817116
She doesn't. I'm good for high 3s raw, mid 4s in gear.
Fucking jealous of that arch though.
I need that picture of the 1pl8 squatter going ATG and saying he's better than the 8pl8 squatter using knee sleeves.
It's urgent
>>35817124
You realize its shirted, dont you?
>>35817135
Got any proof?
I bench 10pl8 btw
Just Believe me
>>35817142
>My flat bench and ATG squats are superior because I dont use equipment
>>35817145
Insofar as you can actually compare raw to geared.... people on the extreme end of form and proportions can get close to double their raw max with a good bench shirt.
She's a good bencher, certainly, but you're way underestimating the difference gear makes to someone who knows what they're doing.
>>35817164
>responding to obvious b8
this is why this general is ded
>>35817135
>falling for b8
>>35817164
You're undervaluing the fact she is a drug free, teenage girl. If anything the bench shirt makes up the difference for her gender. A 150kg bench at 15 years old is amazing even if you are a man.
150 fucking kilo! it's so easy to judge others and undermine their accomplishments when you're a pessimistic jealous child.

damn how tall are you lanklet
get shredded bro no reason not to
>>35815390
But that's a high bar squat.
How can I high bar squat that much? Do I HAVE to be on roids?
Lad i sometimes have this shit where my heart goes crazy and beats off rythm, making it feel really nasty and scares me to death.
It occurs maybe once in 4 months or so, i wonder if i should hit up a doc with it.
Actually, let me google, nothing a doc can do when its not happening anyways.
>>35817453
>tfw I have to use knee wraps despite not even squatting 3pl8
>>35817566
Have you ever heard of a stress test EKG?
>>35817574
It never happens when i workout though and never when i am under stress, neither mentally nor physically.
>>35817662
Could be some form of early onset atrial fibrillation. I would get it checked out. I'm sure there's a way to "trigger" the event. Heart issues are no joke, m8
>>35817571
>implying most of plg uses wraps
>implying our weakest regulars dont squat more than 3 plate
>>35817684
how tf did you come up with those 'implications'?
>>35817703
its a secret
>>35817494
Bulk to SHW and you'll be fine
If you want to do it at his bw, either have crazy genetics, do tons of roids, or both
>>35817767
you think people with crazy genetics and no roids can do that at his bw? or even guys on tonnes of roids with non-crazy genetics?
ok buddy
>>35817809
By crazy genetics I mean world class, and if they are Powerlifters who focus on getting the biggest squat possible, then this is definitely achieveable naturally, since lu doesn't focus on getting the biggest backsquat possible, it's just an accessory, and 260 isn't even his max.
Although you're right about roiders still needing very good genetics to achieve this at his bw.
I feel like you severely underestimate what people can achieve naturally lad.
>>35817847
i think you highly overestimate what just 'crazy genetics' can do.
i think you also highly overestimate how much weightlifters squat would go up by 'focusing' on training towards a higher squat at that level.
>>35817678
I guess you are right yea. Ill do that
>>35817930
If he put on a proper PL belt, learned how to use it properly, used tight knee sleeves, learnt how to lowbar properly, he would btfo the world record squat.
Let me guess, you have shit lifts and think that any elite lifter is automatically on roids because blaha says so?
And crazy genetics can do a fucking lot m8, not saying you'll btfo world records purely on genetics, but you can get to world class numbers and pretty close to wr's, at least in tested feds as a natty with crazy genetics.
>>35817998
>Let me guess, you have shit lifts and think that any elite lifter is automatically on roids because blaha says so?
yes I do believe most elite athletes are on PED's, powerlifting doesn't count
>>35817998
How much does a proper powerlifting belt add to squats/diddly?
>>35817998
nope, just in terms with the fact that I wasn't bred with being an olympic competitor in mind nor was I pumped filled with steroids, and also understand that only having one of those two factors that contribute to Lu's success will not make me as good as him
chill out little man. you always get so riled up when someone disagrees with you
>>35818008
I agree with you desu, powerlifting (tested) isn't popular enough, and doesn't have enough prestige or money to be having the majority of their elite athletes roiding.
But when shitloads of money is involved in other sports, then I definitely believe that the majority of top athletes are using.
>juniors
>>35818047
>izlee thinks he has better advice to offer than an 18 year old
ay lmao
>>35818026
Depends on the person, for me it adds at least 25kg on squats, around 30 on deadlift
>>35818029
Alright then lad, also I'm not riled up, I'm just having a discussion
I get a stingy feeling in my arm, right above the elbow when I'm squatting, feels almost exactly like if someone were to stick me with a couple of needles in that area.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I legitimately though that I had a blood clot in my arm or something so I had to stop squatting.
>>35818075
T-then there's still hope for my squat...
>>35818047
I sort of agree.
I am sick of some random natty getting six pack abs and then fooling the masses into succumbing to their shitty advice.

You'll smesh it lad
>rpe11 deadlifts
I really want a thick back
I've got this weird connotation stuck in my head that rows will build a better back than chin-ups.
I am so tempted to try and fit rows somewhere in my programming but chin-ups are so much better...
what's some good GPP that can be done at home, trying to up my work capacity and get a little bit of high intensity endurance so I'm not so gassed all the time.
>>35818436
why don't you alternate them?
>>35818436
Friend, do both.
>>35818446
Hill sprints. Just any tiny elevation, where you can run up and down.
>>35818469
>>35818471
Never mind friends I just tried rows again and remembered why I dropped them
>>35818446
8 rounds of 20 sec burpess with 10 sec rest
>>35815521
Hold an overhead squat with broom stick for 10-30 seconds, foam roll lats, pecs, shoulders, and upper back
>>35818485
>why I dropped them
Probably means you need to do more of them, desu
>>35818511
Id argue chin ups are superior and more functional
Do tricep exercises affect pull ups?
Fuck this.
I wanna go to /asp/
Test
>Pull 380 lbs 2x3 and finish up with a nice set of five last week
>Attempt 405 lbs for a few doubles this week
>Only get one slow as fuck rep
It keeps happening. Even if I pull rep PRs my deadlift just goes back down anyway.
I really should quit because I'm so terrible, but I never will. Sisyphus etc.
