What ya'll up to tonight?
Easter long weekend, just finished studying and getting ready for lifting tomorrow.
>>36539711
Wow sparrow got... Sexy
>>36539711
Killing time between finishing my study stuff and going to bed, when I should be doing some writing stuff.
Also contemplating tomorrows press session and how I need to do something about the growing gut I have.
>>36539723
If you eat more, the gut will be even prettier desu
>>36539730
honestly, I probably should be looking into that. Going down to compete at 90kg probably isn't gonna work at 6'2, regardless of how shitty I am right now.

What happened lad
>>36539928
I don't want to talk about it.
It'll be outlined in my suicide note.
>>36539860
Lmao u fckin kidding right ?
>>36539960
You tried single ply, misgrooved and fucked up your shoulder while almost dropping the bar on your face?
>>36539974
Hasn't BB lifted multi-ply before?
>>36539979
No idea lol, I thought he had only raw benched
>>36539974
No. I know how to handle a shirt unlike coolrun and isshit.
I haven't gotten in mine yet though.

>>36540078
Bench shirts (supportive gear in general, really) will actively fuck with your bar path and can do all sorts of weird shit if you don't get things exactly right. Single-ply bench shirts in particularly have a really bad rep for trying to throw the weights back over your face.
>>36540087
So if you actually want to overload your bench and mainly bench raw, something like a slingshot would be a way better idea than a shirt?
>>36540033
you have so many servants
>>36540106
Yes. Only use a bench shirt if you know what you are doing or are with people that know what they are doing. Or you will hurt yourself.
>>36540106
Generally yes. Chains or reverse bands would also work. Boards are also an option but are kind of a pain without spotters. Gear just has too much of a learning curve for it to be all that efficient for most raw lifters.
how much weight should i add on my bench max when i do sheiko?
5kg?
>>36540189
>use real max
>>36540189
Nothing or you'll end up like isley and Aaron.

My bench is going great tho
>>36540311
Reminder.
>>36540317
Yeah and then the next day it didn't hurt.
>>36540323
Daily reminder Isley tanked HARD on bench at his last raw meet
>>36540352
Cycling off didn't go well for him.
>>36540352
Yeah I really did.
Did this for a double.
Also what I benched in comp :(
>>36540416
Your proportions seem rather bad for bench.
Just focus on deadlift / total.

weakfag here, tried mixed grip for the first time today

is ANY lower back rounding unacceptable?

I don't care nigga i want to see them
>>36540617
Lower back rounding is acceptable and is competition-legal.
But it's not the best for your spinal health in the long run, so try to avoid it for the most part.
Your back looks fine in the webm though, very small degree of flexion, nothing to worry about.
I'd say you can try to contract your lats a little bit better, but your deadlift looks fine overall.
>>36540617
You're not rounding
>>36540686

CAN I JUST DROP OHP?
I'm a novice lifter. I maxed ohp for 1pl8 and since have lost like 10kg from my max.
It's uncomfortable, hurts my shoulder.
Doesn't give me pump like lateral raises do
Doesn't feel healthy like lateral raises do
I can't find the right position, every position feels bad
Every rep is a grinder
Feels bad on my spine even when I squeeze glutes and push hips forwards
I can't do it after bench and not feel like cancer
I am not about to stop benching to progress OHP
It's cancer I hate it SO FUCKING MUCH
Can a novice really drop OHP? Why / why not?
>>36540862
I don't do OHP anymore. Shits gay
>>36540871
It's fucking awful
>>36540862
yes there's really no need to ever ohp
>>36540871
>>36540876
>>36540862
What? OHP is my second favourite lift next to squats. How can you not like em? Dont you feel like a big strong man pushing big boy weights above your head like a savage?
>>36540876
I lose like 30lbs on it after doing any kind of bench. And I'm not going to prioritize it by doing it first so fuck it. Lateral raises and bench are all you need for shoulders.
>>36540897
>What? OHP is my second favourite lift next to squats
GET OUT. I HATE BOTH THESE LIFTS
>>36540862
>Doesn't feel healthy like lateral raises do
u wot m8
lat raises feel like my rotator cuff is literally exploding, i hate them
>>36540899
do light, high rep BTNOHP. great for shoulder pumps
>>36540862
i stopped a long time ago Tbh
>>36540912
>BTNOHP
Hell no.
>>36540910
Ohp kills my right shoulder. Lateral raises (above head) are a gift from God.
>ohp
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JkEXUFlh_EA
>>36540862
>CAN I JUST DROP OHP?
If it's not your goal to get stronger on the OHP, then yes, obviously.
You should still do it once in a while (you can use dumbbells if you want), but you're not obligated to try to push for heavier OHP numbers at all if it's not your goal.
>>36540910
Thumb high, pinky low.
>>36540709
I'm not Mike's mother or something, you gonna have to ask him directly if you want his butt.
>>36540971
While powerlifting is my goal, what would be the effects of dropping OHP?
You say lateral raises are good for OHP. Can I progress OHP by doing just lateral raises?
>>36540983
Why are you all asking trappy for advice on lifting? What authority does it have on lifting? Hasn't it just read starting strength and thats it? It's a DYEL who barelly has any experience giving advice, why is everyone taking it's advice?
>>36541000
because I do not know who else to ask
>>36540983
>powerlifting is my goal
Then focus on your bench.
>what would be the effects of dropping OHP?
You won't be training your shoulders as much. Not a big deal if you do lateral raises or dumbbell presses or even incline bench once in a while.
>Can I progress OHP by doing just lateral raises?
I don't understand this question.
>>36540971
I just realized that at the bottom of his squat he's sitting closer to his left side than his right.
>>36541009
You said once that you've never seen somebody with a sub 1pl8 press that can do like 18kg lateral raises or something.
If I trained lateral raises only would it carry over to my OHP without directly training OHP?
I DO want strong shoulders but I can't force myself to do OHP anymore. I'd rather quit lifting.
>>36541016
Its a neat trick. One foot stabalizes the other you push with toes.
>People are seriously asking and taking advice from a dyel mentally ill degenerate twink
what the fuck are you doing
>>36541041
I only take advice if I like what I hear, thank joy very much.
>>36541041
He gets all his information from other people so I don't see how it's bad. Not like he's giving his own opinion.
>>36540971
>Thumb high, pinky low.
please elaborate
>>36541057
Keep your thumb up and pinky down when doing lateral raises.
Just do them with a plate and bit a dumbbell IMHO
>>36541035
Wat
>>36541057
Thumbs towards the ceiling, pinkys towards the ground.
>>36541066
Not*, not bit
>>36541020
>You said once that you've never seen somebody with a sub 1pl8 press that can do like 18kg lateral raises or something.
wat
>If I trained lateral raises only would it carry over to my OHP without directly training OHP?
I advocate using the lateral raises (+bench) to increase your OHP. As an assistance exercise.
I'm not sure you'll be able to progress as you expect if you drop the OHP and use the lateral raise as the main exercise. I mean, you might, but I wouldn't expect it.
However, if you keep benching heavier and heavier, and doing lateral raises, your OHP is gonna go up for sure as the muscles involved in it are getting stronger from the other exercises.
But if you want to increase your OHP, you shouldn't drop it as a main lift.
>I DO want strong shoulders but I can't force myself to do OHP anymore. I'd rather quit lifting.
You don't need the OHP for strong shoulders. Lateral Raises + bench + chinups should be enough.
But you need to OHP (for the most part) in order to get stronger at the OHP.
>>36541057
External rotation. Opens more space inside your glenohumeral joint, which leaves more space for the stuff to move without impinging your rotator cuff tendons.
>>36541078
If I did those 3 lifts would I still be able to put heavy objects above my head?
>>36540971
>Thumb high, pinky low.
This doesn't work if it's bicep tendinitis.
just saying.
>>36541087
... yes?
>>36541097
I haven't heard of people getting pain during the lateral raise because of biceps tendinitis.
Biceps tendinitis usually hurts pressing, cleaning, and overhead stuff. At least that's my experience with it.
>>36541120
Like 100kg above my head kind of heavy?
>>36541125
Dude, how am I supposed to know that? lmao
>>36540617
Your head is way to up, keep a neutral spine from bottom to top. keep that head neutral
>>36541120
I have BT in my right shoulder, I can do weighted dips and barbell overhead press without pain, but I can't do bench (especially not incline) nor lateral raises without my right shoulder hurting for days.
>>36541152
You sure it's your biceps and not your rotator cuff?
>>36541147
so like, look forward towards the ground?
only trying to keep my chest up
>>36541177
Your head is fine, don't worry.
>>36541147
This really is a personal preference thing more than anything else.
>>36541144
If I bench 3plate, did 20kg plate lateral raises above head and could do 1pl8 chin-ups for 10 reps or something, what would you predict my OHP to be?
Anybody else get strainedish abs from deadlifts?
Fuckers kill my abs. Benching today felt awful. Abs felt tight and painful. Admittedly not enough to reign concern, but definitely unpleasant.
lads I'm asking for some help on this 4day TM

>If I bench 3plate, did 20kg plate lateral raises above head and could do 1pl8 chin-ups for 10 reps or something, what would you predict my OHP to be?
Ok, so you bench 3pl8, so you have experience with straightening your arms, so that's good.
You can also do lat raises above your head, so you do have experience lifting things over your head, which is good.
The problem comes is when we start to consider your chin up strength. As you know, OHP is all about moving your arms up relative to your head. With chins, you are moving your arms down relative to your head, so strength in that movement pattern is going to work against you, because it is the opposite of what you want.
Luckily for you, you are able to bench 3pl8, which of course is actually 6 plates, and you can do lat raises with 1 plate in each hand, so 2 plates total. I'll add those up to be 8 plates. You said that you can do 1pl8 chins for 10, so that translates to -10pl8 OHP strength.
So based on some pretty simple math, I would say you could OHP the bar with 2pl8 worth of reverse bands.

Rear delt, friend.
Shoulders can't be "strong" omg
>>36541416
Affect scapula and rear delts. Scapula are related to shoulder extension.
>>36541428
Legs can't be strong omg
>>36541428
What are you talking about?
>it's a blind leading the blind episode
>>36541439
Does someone that out leg presses you have stronger legs than you even though you squat a lot more than him?
>>36541441
Strong is specific to a movement unless yah literally isolate every part of the shoulder and measure that
>>36541553
Interesting. So you're saying I won't press a 100kg block over my head without training OHP?
>>36541565
I was just baiting, as we had the discussion before.
But yea, it's kind of hard to say that person xy has "strong" shoulders without making it specific to a movement.
How's canditos 6 week? It doesn't seem like it has enough frequency.

>>36541609
>>36541621
He's only got you lifting like 3 times a week is that enough?
>>36541621
You doing the upper body part or doing your own?
>>36541638
it's 4 times a week, but 5 on week 2.
yes it's enough.
>>36541638
what are you on about its a 5 day upper lower split the only time it turns into a 3 day is when you peak on the fifth week are we talking about the same c6w?
>>36541647
>>36541651
Whoops yall right. Just looked at it again i thought it was a 3 day split for some reason
>>36541639
I'm doing the upper body part,I have read that bench gains are bad on C6W but I'm shit at benching anyway.
As of right now I can say I made good size gains on upper body,gonna have to wait a week to see if I made any strength progress.
/plg/, forgive me for I have sinned.
It's been 3 months since I last lifted.
How should I go about getting back into things? I've just lost a lot of motivation.

Anyone get hip pain from squats and sumo deadlift? What do you do?
>>36541753
Foam roll.
>>36540762
Do ou not like when other people hit on your e-boyfriend
>>36541595
It's awful.
>>36541761
Word. Yeah, I like squatting wider and sumo, they're mechanically efficient, but they're killing this one point at the peak of the front of my hip
>>36541782
Hey joe can I ask you a question?
is captain poutine here
I've read numerous times on /plg/ that 5/3/1 isn't a good routine. However, what would you guys recommend after TM? Goal is general strength, not necessarily powerlifting.
>>36541753
Pain where, exactly?
>>36541298
It looks okay to me.
If you're doing bench and OHP PR attempts in the same day, the OHP can end up suffering fatigue and perform worse. Most people prefer to alternate with vBench+iOHP / iBench+vOHP or something.
You can also do the same thing for the squat and deadlift, as in vSquat+iDL / iSquat+vDL
But some people like the v+v/i+i scheme. Personal preference, I guess.
I'd probably leave the pullups out of mon and thur, but since it's bodyweight I don't think it's gonna end up mattering much.
Honestly, the routine looks okay. Try it for yourself and see how it works for you, then change things around based on your performance and progression.
At this point there's no cookie cutter routine or solution. Every lifter responds to training and handles volume/intensity/recovery differently. So adapt things as you go on.
>>36541790
I squat pretty narrow. My pain is usually on my right side near the glute. Sometimes the pain is on the left side.
CAUSE I NEED TO WATCH THINGS DIE
FROM A DISTANCE
>>36541811
It's on the outside of my left hip, about an inch down and an inch to the left of where the hip bone protrudes outwards.
@TrappyChan
Why not just get a vagina from the surgeon? I don't get it. If you're a girl why not lol like a girl?
Makes me think it's a fetishist thing

thanks a lot trappy I'll try it out and tweak a few things as I go since I'm getting bored of c6w despite how hard it is.
>>36541830
I took off my trip to say this, but BACK THE FUCK OFF?!
Friends pls help. I have weird abs so I don't like being lean (plus I'm kinda small anyway). Is there a general guide for someone to get started lifting heavy ass weights?

>>36541907
you do drugs, right?
whats your favorite tool album.
>>36541826
Around the front or back?
Like pic related?
If so, point your toes out and shove your knees out when you squat. Increasing your stance width a bit might help as well.
If you're doing lowbar, focus on "sitting back".
Work on your hip mobility before/after the workout, and stretch your hip flexors, glutes and hamstrings often during the day or before bed.
The fact that they hurt during the sumo deadlift might indicate that the hip flexors are currently inflamed or strained. Try using some ice and topical antiinflammatory if needed, and let it rest for a few days without straining them again.
Make sure you're warming up properly before your squats and doing enough warmup sets.
>>36541830
Nah.
>>36541943
But why won't you get a vagina
WHY. TELL ME.
>>36541920

>>36541731
I had figured something like this.
I suppose, more to the point of the motivation issue:
>college, smoke weed all the time
>still made the time to walk to the gym 3-4x/week
>never needed external motivation
fast forward...
>graduate, get good job, move away from everyone
>suddenly have no desire to go to the gym
I don't know what to do. how do i re-motivate myself? I feel like if I just start to get back into the swing of things it'll become second nature again, but...
>>36541943
Thx trappy. They're definitely inflamed, so I'm taking some time off lower body. They feel worse the wider I go, so I think it's an issue of not being flexible/warmed up.
>>36541988
no problem bby
how's your training gooing?
>>36542013
Training is great right now. Setting rep PRs left and right. Gonna get this 500lb squat, then cut down a bit too look good for Hawaii

Are you a believer in the SSB memer's memes yet? As an impartial anon I've been watching for a while, kind of waiting for someone else to act as his first test subject.
>>36541809
greg cuckold's programs are a bit of a hot meme right now, though I'm not sure for how long.
Go to strengtheory and get the 28 free programs and take a look. most of the int/adv programs are designed in four week blocks, good for post-TM.

C'MON
>>36542105
I'm running his novice 3 bench program and it's great but has its flaws. Such as whether or not to even bother with OHP.
I can't decide what to do.
His deadlift programs are fun
His squat programs are cancer
>>36541909
Give me some time to think it over
>>36542137
It will be worn your time I promise.
>>36542084
SSB specifically? Or the spotoshot method? I'm currently on the spotoshot method. Don't really squat with the ssb but next training cycle will be a variation like high bar or ssb.
In a sense I'm his first test subject, mainly because I wanted a fun bench program
>>36542142
Hmmm
>>36541990
>if I just start to get back into the swing of things it'll become second nature again
it does
also since this is a powerlifting thread, having set dates for meets is quite the motivator and if you dont compete its one of the best things to keep you going, you might not be winning but there will likely be people close to compare to and try and beat/ catch up with next time
main thing now is starting
all the best
>>36542149
It's quick and easy to answer
How much would I have to lower my workset if I test my squat 1RM before I do my set? I want to have a feel of my current 1RM before I test it for real in week 6 (currently week 4 on monday)
This is probably a dumb idea, but it won't really affect my week 6 though, right?
>>36542149
There will be a rare pepe in exchange for your services.
>>36542156
Give me 5 minutes then I'll allow it.
>>36541993
Pain in that area can be caused by a huge variety of things, and I haven't seen a video of you squatting or haven't tested your mobility and your pain, so I'm speculating of course. But from my experience handling people with hip pain, opening up the feet a bit more and shoving the knees out (when going down) fixes half the cases by itself. So don't neglect this.
This is because the pain and the inflammation might be caused by your tendons getting impinged, and not just because of straining due to lack of mobility.

>I want to have a feel of my current 1RM before I test it for real in week 6
whats your reasoning behind this
>>36542180
>5 MINUTES
>>36542184
>and I haven't seen a video of you squatting or haven't tested your mobility and your pain
>trappy will never test your mobility or pain threshold
>>36542184
>But from my experience handling people with hip pain
LOL are you a fuckin doctor now m8?
>>36542188
I haven't tested my max since I maxed 3pl8s. All I have is an estimated 1RM and I want to actually try it to see if it feels easy or if I can barely do it so I can accuratly go for my true max in week 6
I don't want to fail the lift by overshooting or lift too little
>>36542202
if you're lucky enough you might get to try her asshole mobility :^)
what i wanna know is how the fuck are all y'all so poor? It's so easy to make a lot of money Kek
You guys just stupid or what?
>>36542221
>her
>no vagina
>>36542135
Can you explain why you feel that way about the deadlift and squat programs? I have the 28 programs, but besides the novice 3 day bench, I haven't really looked at them. Might switch over to the bench soon when I get kicked off of pressing programming from SS.
>>36542065

Why don't you build It?
>>36542184
How can you be happy with who you are if you try so desperately to be a girl?
There's no downside to getting a vagina.
>>36542226
Tell me how to get rich and I'll do it
>>36542184
what are your current big 3 lifts?
I'm waiting
>>36542218
I would just wait and see what youve got on the test day
start off too little if you think youll fail
it isnt a meet (?), its not really that important to be worrying about it
also good luck
>>36542259
How girly hole
>>36542231
They are usually 4 week cycles based of AMRAP sets. This works well for bench, but doing AMRAP squats is CANCER. Deadlifts aren't usually AMRAP for intermediate and above programs AFAIK. They are high volume but they are fun.
I did 4x5 deadlifts @ 80%, then 6x3 @ 60% then 3x10 rows and I was destroyed but it was fun and felt good. This may be because I recently started doing touch and go though.
The squat programs seem to have a focus on front squats and I dislike that.
>>36542251
Can you recommend me some good hentai to fap to
>>36542251
Can you post your full gym playlist for me to enjoy?
Here's a Pepe for your effort
>>36542277
>The squat programs seem to have a focus on front squats and I dislike that.
that's because most of the programs are explicitly focused on hypertrophy, especially of the quads, that's just the why greg views matters of the squat
you could probably change it, or maybe grow to love them.
>>36542300
Sure. I just don't like squatting lol.
>>36542292
I don't listen to music in the gym because it distracts me from the whispers of the iron
>>36542210
Yes, actually. I'm in medschool.
>>36542241
I don't "try desperately" to be a gurl, I have transitioned like 4 years ago. I haven't really struggled with any of these things in years (half-lucky genetics I guess)
>>36542250
I train weightlifting myself. I don't bench and have never really tried for a deadlift max.
>>36542321
You're the music king tho. You must have a playlist of amazing songs
>>36542329
that cool, oly lifting seems fun
what do you snatch and c&j?
>>36542329
Why not get a vagina? There's no downside. Then you'll be %100 girl.
Sounds to me it's a fetishist thing and you're just gay
My local powerlifting gym has a club meet in a month, I should sign up just to get the experience. Anyone got some tips for my first meet?
>>36542262
Thanks! Yeah it's not a meet but I'm just excited to test my squat and dead since it's been improving like hell lately. When I think about it I'll get a good idea of how strong I am in week 5 anyways.
>>36542311
>tfw always hate at least one of the lifts at any given time
>>36542270
Huh
>>36542343
He has a wiener not a snatch
>>36542334
I have driving playlists. Pick a genre: rap, comfy, or upbeat
>>36542277
Yep, AMRAP squats are ridiculous. Thanks for your insight, friend.
>>36542354
Which one(s) do you hate right now?
>>36542329

Snatch 55kg
Power Clean 54kg
Power Snatch 45kg

The downside is that I'd permanently mutilate my genitals, besides all the complications from the SRS and the maintenance of a SRS vagina.
As I said, I'm happy with myself and with my benis. Not all mtf are pre or post OP, there are plenty non-OP like myself.
Sure it makes things a bit harder from a dating point of view, but eh, that's just part of life.
>>36542386
Finishing the second year, brazilian university.
>>36542380
Deadlifts for sure. Sumo was causing me some nasty hip pain because I was being dumb and assumed that if I COULD go max width, I SHOULD go max width.
Now conventional is feeling neglected because I spent half my training cycle neglecting it, so I'm just hoping for the best next saturday.
squat and bench are in da bag tho.
>>36542413
how does it work in Brazil? Is it a 4 year program after 4 years of college/university like in America?
>>36542413
Why not just bs a man then?

After benching pl8

Magic number.
>>36542413

I was going to ask you if you were afraid putting on muscle with might interfere with your trap looks.
But its obviously not going to happen with that amount of test.

what do you mean by "bs a man"?
>>36542434
6 years uni (4 studying + 2 internship) then +2-4 years of specialisation (residency)
>>36542464
I've actually tried to bulk to 50kg multiple times.
Currently trying to at least reach 48kg. But I'm terrible at it, I have classes from 7am to 6pm so I end up skipping a lot of meals and not eating properly.
More or less 9ng/dl. It varies, I'm usually around 5-9ng/dl.
Normal women stay within 30-90ng/dl.
I've been thinking of increasing it a bit to see how it affects training, but it's something I'm a bit reluctant about, and I'll have to talk through with my doctor first.
>>36542477
Yeah, kek.
>>36542418
I'm somehow liking them all right now. Even though squats are being stubborn as fuck and I got kicked off beginner programming early for them. I understand the sumo feel though. I was messing around when I was stretching and I went to the maximum width I possibly could, and after miming a sumo pull, my hip started to hurt and the pain didn't go away until the next day. Don't think I'll ever really go back to conventional though. It never felt as natural as sumo feels now.
>>36542505
You're not just going to bully me when I post it right?
>>36542527
Why not be a man? I JUST DONT GET IT
YOU CAN BE A MAN AND SUGG BENIS
I DONT GET ITRRT
Whats a smart / safe % of my max to do on my first and second attempt at a meet?
>>36542532
You tell me
>>36542435
She probably doesn't feel like a man. Being trans is complicated -- your brain tells your body that your gender is wrong. So it's not as simple as just accepting you have a dick. Imagine waking up with a pussy one day with your current brai -- you wouldn't just accept that you're a girl.
Thanks for the hip stuff again, trappy. I think I might be going a bit too wide on my sumo, and I think I need to sit on my heels during squat more. Doing daily mobility stuff too, plus I'll RICE it.
