Fake. Natties. Out. Reeeeeeeeeeee
He's literally a drug cheat.
How's my form lads?

need to be way tighter on ohp
@36583075
He's going to start on about "malware" any time now :/
Finished my skills test today.
Pretty stoked. from 200 to 210kg squat, I blew it in bench, it stayed a 130kg, and deadlift went from 210 to 220kg.
Pretty stoked.
>>36583073
SS?
i had to deload multiple times because of shit form, trying to progress too fast, depth issues, and elbow pain from rippetoe memegrip
>>36583114

Ayyyy another shit deadlifter
Happy for u

>When your character of 3 weeks dies
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
These arms are killing me again, aching like bitches despite my bench reps being on point.
Man I think I really fucked up by never curling and never doing any accesoire for triceps.
I thought both these muscle groups are used enough in the rows / bench, but it seems I have some fucked up tendonitis that keeps coming back randomly and I am starting to believe that it is connected to them being weaker.
But I'm also just guessing because I really don't fucking know:
>>36583129
>>36583073
he's memeing
I can't recover for Greg nuckols 1 day intermediate deadlift program?
I was unable to complete because I was fatigued from last week.
What do I do?
>>36582967
>>36582973
>>36583009
Thanking also in this thread if they missed in the last threat.
>>36583129
>SS
yeah, to 135kg
then TM to 140kg and onwards
CURRY
>tendonitis after sheiko 5x5 dips
JUST
Best programs for cutting lads?
Im an intermediate lifter.
TOP
>>36583013
Is it okay to lift heavy weight, 7 times a week?
Even with proper nutrition, sleep cycle, etc.
Did today 531 BBB 5x10 squats and now I'm wondering why I even lift. It was horrible lads felt like my quads will explode.
100
>>36583057
LOWER FAGGOT
>>36583147
could just be too much benching. I got some nasty bicep pain in the middle of my current sheiko cycle, but it went away after 2-3 sessions wich where somewhat light.
>>36583147
my biceps tendon gets rekt if i dont do enough biceps work
that said just doign more rows and chins is enough for me
>>36583153
try rock collecting?
seriously though, stretch, foam roll, eat, sleep?
don't see how you could still be fatigued after a week of recovery. took me about half a week after the 4x5 day and i felt like i had a constant trap/forearm pump for like 3 days which was piss.
just curious, how are your gains on it? I went from 375 lbs to an easy 4 pl8 (which was partly because of form fixes). testing my max this friday and hoping to hit at least 420 blaze it
>>36583196
>not enjoying the pump
faggt
>>36583263
>stretch to help recovery
this is a meme
>>36583253
I'm not even sure if it's biceps or triceps - it at both pushing and pulling movements.
With the wrist supinated (thumb out) the pain is on the other side of the upper arm, very close to my elbow.
I can trigger the pain by trying to fold my arm together, like you would have to when you your hand to your front shoulder.
Man I check my reps and the elbow is underneath the fucking bar.
Also, I bench 3 times a week - if I can't take it physically I might as well kill myself because that's a) not much and b) very fucking good for the bench to at least do 3 sessions a week.
>>36583263
I have insomnia from this damn program.
Deadlifts have always felt really really really hard for me and I don't know why. I never recover. I once hit 140kg for 5 several months ago and since then I have gotten weaker because I became fatigued and didn't realise and didnt allow for recovery.
I can't recover on SS so I started Gnuckols program and that's even harder to recover from it obviously I guess....
>>36583287
I underestimated 5x10 I thought it was easy with low weight.
>>36583307
On the outer side of the arm*
So I did 345x4 for sumo, and failed the fifth rep because my hand slipped. I really should get some chalk. However, I took 5 seconds, re-set up, and I got a rep easy. Should I count this as 5? Or no
>>36583321
I've done 3x30 slow and concentrated rich piana style reps before and it fucking burned like acid.
is there a version of 5/3/1 that isnt retarded and does the main lifts more than once each a week
>>36583329
count it as 5, buy chalk
>>36583288
no u
>>36583312
if you can't do 1x5 once a week why would you jump into a program that has like 3-4 times the volume?
deadlifts feel hard for everybody
>>36583329
I would count it
And chalk is amazing, definetly get some, I use this kind:
http://www.amazon.com/Z-Athletic-Gymnastics-Climbing-Weight-Lifting/dp/B001KGA1L6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
Really helps me with my grip issues.
>>36583329
Count it as 3 and do 5 more sets
>american """"programming"""""
>>36583329
Read my post in the last thread lad, near the bottom. Count it as 5.
>>36583312
eat more
>>36583380
You get better at volume the more you do it. Just toughening it out but I can't hit my sets :/
>>36583380
stretching can actually inhibit recovery
>>36583364
>>36583381
>>36583385
Thanks friends. Any other chalk brand recommendations besides >>36583381 ?
>>36583400
Yes, by slowly increasing it over time.
Not by running into a brick wall at full sprint.
>>36583400
you build up work capacity gradually
>>36583411
but it feels so good
also double checked
>>36583419
Literally anything. Doesn't matter.
>>36583376
>87 videos in 87 days
oh my kek
Why do I feel my shoulders when curling, what the fuck.
I don't swing and keep elbows locked, what is going on here??
Is there any reason to not use pussy pad other than >muh iron lyf ?
Whoever uses mixed grip for deadlifts, which I assume would be most of you, what hand is your under hand and what is your dominant hand? I put my left under and I'm right handed.
>>36583419
Most chalk is good honestly, I just went for the cheapest shit I can fit in my backpack kek
>>36583467
right under / right handed
>>36583467
dominant hand under
anything else is wrong
>>36583462
retract scapula, stretch arm all the way at bottom and dont go all the way up
>>36583307
One last idea:
Could it by my un racking?
In unrack with my arms fully extended and kind of have to push my arms even further using my lats and also my well, somehow arm-lockout tension to push it out of the rack.
Is that bad practice? How do you guys lock out?
>>36583467
right handed, right under
>>36583486
I dunno why, it just feels so off if my right hand is under.
>>36583486
I switch each rep desu
>>36583486
I tried dominant hand under when I injured my left bicep. Wew
Deadlifted 20kg less that competition
>>36583510
I switch at the top and at the bottom of each rep desu. Gets a little awkward at the top but I don't want those nasty muscle imbalances
>>36583466
It's less stable.
>>36583519
Good to see I'm not the only one then.
>>36583499
>>36583510
>>36583514
>>36583519
>doing it wrong
how unnecessary
God damn im fucking my shit up here
85% bench for sets 2 days on the run
Thanks bank holiday
>>36583466
Do your traps not provide enough padding? No bully. If you can't comfortably support the bar on your back then there's probably not enough weight on the bar to really make a difference.
>>36583467
Same
>>36583519
Yeah it felt absolutely wrong when I did it
>>36583519
If you do mixed grip and your arms are not completly straight throughout the motion it causes extreme pressure on the bicep of the under hand arm
>>36583546
I'm definitely weaker with my dominant hand under.
>>36583557
Ayyyy
>>36583557
I dont use the pad I was just curious if there were any actual disadvantages or if it was just
>muh manlines
since i've never seen any man use it ever
>>36583576
Putting distance between you and the bar will make it more unstable. So it's a real reason to be sure.
>>36583569
lmao
lads my athletics career might not be dead i've started track training again and i can actually mostly handle it
>>36583467
I do the same, even if it is wrong using my right hand under while being right handed feels awkward.
>>36583576
Also, what are manlines?
>>36583605
What events lad?
>new squat form ive been using for couple of months
>loads more knee travel
>feels way better

im torn lads
>>36583610

Manliness you retard
Reposting, does anyone have experience in dealing with an impinged S1? Couldn't find anything too specific online, and the stuff I did find doesn't seems to improve it, only make some pain go away.
Im cutting atm lads, and have a few niggles so am a bit sick of training.
I've written this program up, I want it to be pretty unstructured, and have microplates so will progress based on how I feel.
For S,B,D I will work up to a single @9, then do 80% of that for drop off sets of 1-6 until theyre @9, then do some core and arms and stuff
Sq,Bnch, Rows on Mon/Fri
Sq,OHP,Deads on Wed
on wednesday ill only do a single for squats so im fresh for pulling
How's it look?
>>36583711
how can you have a mad 40 yard dash and not have a 100m i'm not buying it
Philip, can I ask you a question?
>>36583488
Alright lad thanks.
I don't even know how to curl kek
>Dino is fatigued meme
Ugh. Worst meme of plg desu.
Nap time. Heavy squat later. Keep me in your thoughts.
Also the 4.4 40 yard dash guy is Sean, buda blew him tf out so he resorted to hard estatting
>>36583819
who are sean and buda
>>36583838
An alcoholic waste of space and a pretty cool guy. It's up to you to figure out who's who.
>>36583361
Why you feel it is retarded? Just add some chest work on press day, bicep work on dl day, shoulder work on bench day and triceps work on squat day.
>cut 15lbs
>lose strength
>stop cutting
>still losing weight, calories must be too low
>cant bring myself to eat more because scared of gaining fat which i sacrificed muh strength gains to lose
I think ive developed an eating disorder
>>36583489
Anyone lads?
How do you unrack bench, are your arms full extended when you are setup and grab the racked bar?
>>36583819
>Joffrey bullying me when I'm not posting again
>>36583923
i might be the one that is retarded, but desu if im not doing each lift at least 3 times a week i get scared that im not going to progress
>>36583860
i haven't posted on here regularly in like a year is sean boardshorts or am i making that up
>>36583933
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y54SspOPXL4
right. Which of you stiff faggots can do a standing pike?
>>36583967
sean is a Canadian, weak, alcoholic, fatherless NEET who lives in his mother's basement and is a fan of a disgrace of a hockey team. Boardshorts is a fat, reformed roidhead, with a qt fiancé, and even though he's not the best, he understands and continues to try hard.
>>36584037
how do you get the hip bend right? I can put my hands on the floor with a bent back but my hips are dawg poop (i was anon)
>>36583928

>>36584078
meme
Meh session this morning. I was super nervous about the exam so that didn't help but I also just felt kinda low energy. By the time it came for the pause pulls I was feeling just totally wiped.Might have been because of the stress. Not sure.
https://youtu.be/vumfheCoZyA
>>36583466
Probably keeps you from being able to use your lats effectively and for PL purposes specifically doesn't get you used to how the weight will feel in competition.
>>36584088
its not a meme,you have to raise the calories sometimes you cant cut forever or you will slow your metabolism and you will feel like shit
>>36584160
dr phd norton pls go
>>36584153
I wish I had your set up
(but please don't let it fold when you unrack)
Oh wait I just saw what your shoulders had to do
YUCK
>>36584160
Even if he was eating 1000 calories a day and burning 3000 calories, the most his metabolism would change is maybe 200 calories.
>>36584174
Yeah not much I can do there. Luckily it doesn't take anything to get used to a good competition bench with appropriate rack heights, so if anything I think it'll end up adding pounds in a meet because I don't have to waste that energy like normal.
>>36584153
nice,is this program good?
>>36584153
how to arch like that jelly af
Any good powerlifting related movies, series, documentaries or anime?
Lads how do I stop hating bench. I know that I need to get bigger but laying own on it and bracing/bridging feels like fucking shit. I like doing it with DBs and Incline bench feels great but flat bench is killing me.
>>36584217
i can rec some good sports anime but its not powerlifting tho
>>36584204
For bench, absolutely. And I know because you have AMRAPs every week.
For sq and dl I don't really know because he doesn't have you AMRAP and really he doesn't have you working at high percentages with them at all until the later weeks. I'm gonna keep sticking to it and hope that what I can't see now will show up later.
>>36584205
Honestly literally all I've ever done is try to arch harder and over time I got better. Never really did any drills or stretching.
REEE I'm not a chad none of the trips understand
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE LET ME BACK IN I DRY OUT ON DRY LAND
>>36584241
How long have you benched?
>>36583971
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y54SspOPXL4
Seems like you arms are not fully extended and you unrack the bar by actually extending your arms.
Maybe I should look to do the same instead of pushing the bar out loading them onto my already extended arms

>>36583957
someone please respond, am i very mislead with this belief of mine?
>>36584234
benching heavyish weights feels gud tho lad
>>36584217
these are the ultimate physiques imo
>>36584259
>Seems like you arms are not fully extended and you unrack the bar by actually extending your arms.
That is correct
>>36583147
>there are people that don't do any accessories for arms
Literally why? It's fun and will benefit your training, even doing some chins and push ups will help.
>>36584257
I guess it'd be 4 and a half years now. Mind you the first 3 years of my training I had no idea what I was doing and took time off did like 4 self-made variations of 5/3/1 so I basically made almost no discernible progress in that time.
I'd say I've been training for PL style bench for just over a year now. My original style didn't even attempt to utilize arch.
>>36584263
>>36584245

>>36584314
I'm naturally pretty flexible. I can go cold and do a toe touch better than the majority of cheerleaders I know.
Shoulder mobility is lol tho actually.
>>36584332
You do flies every time but they're super light just for a stretch. I switch between using 17.5lbs DBs and 20lbs DBs.
For back work I just do whatever I feel like pretty much. Sometimes I skip it because I run out of time. I'd say 50% of the time I just pyramid some BB rows as I feel like. Other times I do pullups weighted or unweighted, sometimes chest-supported rows, other times I just do rear delt work and call that my back work.
>>36584234
Get better at benching. Always think of form, try to understand what you can improve and what you need to work on.
>>36584205
Just try harder
>>36584263

Usually my calves are what end up going first.
>>36584373
You are still black, though.
>>36584279
Problem is that the way our bench is setup I simply end up with fully extended arms while grabbing the bar.
I'll try setting up higher up the bench but I fear I will hit the racks with reps.
>>36584280
Well, I meant I never curl and never do anything for tris.
I do lat pull down fairly often, pull-ups sometimes.
I thought that this is enough for biceps - was I wrong there?
>>36584373
what's yer 100 metres lad

>>36584405
Call it at ten minutes total. That's what Kelly starett (mobility word guy) recommended
>>36584397
Rows with a hold at the top help imo. Think of pulling the bar down to your chest as well. Also lots of rear delt work won't hurt.
>>36584420

>Fake natty Rolan
>>36584385
I do pull ups and chin ups when I can but I am shit at them. Hammer curls are a pretty good accessory and I feel like it really gets the blood flowing in that elbow and forearm. I got very imbalanced tris so I have to work them hard. I have some 5 kg weights at home and just do some curls/overhead tri extensions superset and I think it's working for me.
>>36584452
isley yer welcome to come to liverpool and i'll teach you to run and you teach me to fucking lowbar squat deal?
>>36584373
Why are black people always good at bench and bad at squat?
>>36584428
I do shitloads of rows, manily singlehanded and I do a hold at the top. I also started doing seal rows and damn that shit is hard.

>>36583057
OHP looks good, you're just very light and clearly Skellington mode, so it'll get better as you get bigger.
Squat form is good but in order to make depth you want your hip-crease to be below the top of your knee (just go down another 2 inch).
DL is just way too light to discover your form deteriorations.

My right elbow is crying and I can't hear the whispers of the iron through all the tears.
Will elbow sleeves suppress the cries of my shitty dyel tendon?
Skeleton here.
Second time in gym today, tried benching at one point.
30kg (~66lbs) and I did 4x5 sets.
On a scale 1-10, with 1 being a literal baby .. how weak am I currently?
How often should I add weight to benching?
>>36584587
They might help yeah. Ice it a few times a day as well.
>>36584538
works most of the time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Sftq18SGg
>>36584538
Are you letting your elbows get out in front of the bar?
>>36584596

>>36584597
Will do. Thanks.
>>36584596
It is very weak desu
Read SS or PP
You can easily add 5-10lbs every session, especially if your bulking, at that babbyweight.
>>36584596
>How weak am I?
50 year old mom first time bench weak
>How often should I add weight to benching?
Find a program like SL or SS, and follow it. Dont make up a program or add stuff like you know what you are taking about, you dont.
>>36584650
yeah why not, if he completely just drops it it aint my fault
>>36584596
When I started 30kg was my bench max. Next month I hit 100kg.
Keep going.
>>36584650
id be shitting myself thats for sure
>his face when you say ok but you have to put the thumb around the bar first
>>36584596
Run an actual program. SS, SL5x5, Sheiko, whatever. You are extremely weak. Don't worry though, you'll improve quickly.
>>36584658
If you're trying to tuck more, that could very well be causing your elbows to get out in front of the bar. If you're trying to tuck more, you gotta make sure your touching a decent bit lower too. Elbows under the bar at all times. Paused bench helped me ingrain the pattern and get rid of it, but if you can fix it with touch and go, go for it.

Suicide grip is not nearly as dangerous as the internet claims. 99.5% chance that nothing terrible happens
>>36584703
>terrible things only happen 1 in 200 times
Where's that bitchboi sean
>>36584696
I'm glad you brought it up because I'm now almost certain that's the issue. I only tried tucking more last session and the pains only just come on so it makes sense if that's the case.
>>36584683
yeah but your the only one there
standing above him while he looks into your eyes for help
you get the bar off him and he making an unnatural wheezing
you have to get him help and wait with him telling him he will be alright
you dont just get to walk away when he drops it
>>36584703
With those odds I'd drop the bar every second/third week
>>36584743
as opposed to not being able to help at all as he just dies? nah ill happily spot and maybe get a good reason to never use suicide grip myself
>>36584743
>you dont just get to walk away when he drops it
>>36584743
if this actually happneed id just tell him to use the power rack, its not like anyone else is using it if the gym is empty
I think I almost gave myself diabetes
I take an intra workout shake of Gatorade and protein. The Gatorade label says the serving size is 1 2/3 tbsp which I figured was the scooper in the container. Turns out the scooper is like 3 times that.
>I was taking like 170g of sugar every workout
Fuck

>>36584803
After he dropped the bar and severed his spinal cord at the throat?
>"D.....dying..."
>"Bro you should have just used the power rack"
skills test was bad.
video saving and uploading now.
>>36584504
honestly this just confuses me more, i expected to be wrong. are you trolling me?
>>36584775
oh yeah this was if you spotted, they way you said it made it sound like you were going to do one of these>>36584784
>>36584803
>>36584803
>if this actually happneed id just tell him to use the power rack
kek is this after hes dropped it on himself
still i dont think the guy benching 200kg would take it very well to you saying nah m8 take the weights off and move over there
also very surprised at how many people dont know how to set up safeties at my gym
>don't put clips on the bar
>when he drops it on his sternum just lift one side
You can deadlift 100kg, right anon?
>mfw 2 days until JoJo Part 4
>>36584888
If he drops 180kg on his neck, my reaction would not be based on my DL numbers.
question by twink:
How do your knees feel while lifting?
>>36584888
being able to get the bar off him doesnt change the fact that he may now be infact dying
>>36584906
>>36584916
Just tell him he should of used the power rack
>>36584910
fine because Im a highbar masterrace squatter and not some beta DYEL lowbar twink who needs to cheat

>10 years later my knees sound like a super soaker getting pumped up when I squat up to 275-340lbs.
I stick to DL and Bench for big lifts, the idea of reconstructive surgery does not appeal to me. Mebbe when im in my 40s.
>>36584893
Is it on crunchyroll? All of my yes
>>36584931
cheat more, then you might be able to bench more than 2pl8

skills test was bad. I'll talk a bit about it lift by lift, but here's the video if you don't feel like reading. Like I did with my last skills test video, the last time I hit my PRs is the first video for each lift for comparison, and the following videos are from today.
https://youtu.be/d7kmTLDrFXA
first off, I didn't expect this to go very well at all. in the last 2 weeks, I've lost and gained 13 pounds, lifted twice, and pretty much didn't to anything lifting related for most of spring break. I hiked around a fuckton, and I think it's pretty fair to day that if there is such a thing as negative peaked, this would be it. anyways, enough with the excuses.
>Squat
squats have felt like absolute garbage since I got back from spring break. I think it's just about all from losing an absurd amount of weight, then gaining it back quickly coupled with the fact that I haven't lifted seriously in like 2 weeks. But they have been feeling shaky as fuck in my last 2 workouts, and that trend continued today. my last warmup, 475, went fairly easily. Then 530 was MUCH harder than it would have been if I didn't JUST myself in the last couple of weeks. After that, I should honestly get a lifetime ban for even thinking about going for more, but I let my ego get the best of me, and 545 looked like my only goal was to set it down nicely.
>Bench
Bench actually felt ok, not great, since I've gotten back, but meh compared to how it was prior to spring break. 315 felt ok, and I thought there was more there, but then 325 showed me that there was not.
>>36585019
There is another one, in russia, where the fellow dies as well.
>tfw, even though you spotted him with your hands under the bar, you enabled this man to kill himself.
>>36584964
>>36585054
2/2
>Deadlift
This is an absolute anomoly to me. Despite squats and bench going about as bad as they could have, deadlifts felt fine. I said in the video, but the school gym banned video cameras in the gym for what ever reason, and once I put 405 on the bar, the attendants started paying pretty close attention to me because we aren't supposed to use the metal plates on the platforms, so I didn't want to press my luck. But I did pull 515 ezpz, then tried for 535 and it went up pretty well. I didn't get a video of them, so they didn't actually happen though, you'll just have to take my word for it. Then with 545 I just decided to yolo and put the camera up against my gym bag and record it that way, because worst case scenario they kick me out after I'm done anyways. but that got off the ground, but I couldn't lock it out.
Overall, I'm ok, just a bit disappointed. Added 20lbs to my gym total, which is always good, and I feel like on a better day that 325 bench would have been there. Excited to see what I can do with a proper peak and taper in about a month though.

I alternate so I can do both.
Probably not too efficient, but I really like it when things are balanced.
Right hand (dominant hand) under feels more natural, though.
>>36583761
Try it out and tell us how it goes.
>>36585094
Nice deadlift pr Alex. I think with a good peak you'll see better results.
Bench was close

DAILY REMINDER
>>36584853
No.
What do when hamstrings tighten up in the bottom of a squat? It pulls my left knee inwards and gets inflamed after squatting. Pulls are unaffected. Feel it mostly where my hamstrings and glutes connect
>>36585240
stretch 'em?
Would being 1000 calories below my maintenance affect my training tomorrow? I'm too depressed to eat.
>>36585277
almost certainly not, day-to-day calories matter much less than trends. but you should try to eat something, even if its junk food. it might make you feel better, friend :^)
>>36585268
Why do you trip? You're not very knowledgeable, you're quite rude and you murdered marcel.
