i don't like haack's squat form desu. his knees travel SO much and his torso is ridiculously upright.
also his dl is ugly.
tfw no sean bully bf
>>36637845
I agree with you on the DL tbqh
>posting on 4chan from mobile
>>36637764
This is good, I like this. What not to do (rounding back).
During DL one must leg press the Earth then pull bar towards body before extension. I struggle with technique constantly or at least strive for perfection. But, it is important to not go too heavy unless you have quality muscle memory and have extreme focus..all with patience/practice.
G-guys. I think genetics fucked me over.
I haven't even reached 2 pl8 squat yet. But my knees are now hurting massively. Whenever I try to squat without any weight, it starts to hurt when I reach parallel. I just bought knee wraps. So hopefully that'll save my knees. But be honest with me, am I fucked if I continue to lift heavy?
>>36637845

What do? Train through it? Weights are heavy right now. Or should I take my deload early and hope I recover a week afterwards?
>>36637892
trip on, alex.
>>36637906
That's the bit. I'm not even old. I'm 19.
I also remember having some issues with my back a few years ago, before I started lifting.
>>36637496

>tfw going to start drinking cold-brewed coffee mixed with whey for dat dere caffeine and protein in the morning
Also, can anyone recommend a brand of resistance bands to me? I need a very light one for shoulder rehab.
>>36637959
Still can't tell t b h
Holy shit this session was not fun. Supersetted my squat and comp bench sets to save time because I only had about an hour. Was running on about 3ish hours of sleep. Had lifted the previous 2 days as opposed to having a rest day before starting the new week like normal.
Everything felt fucking terrible, which is hilarious considering how quickly everything moved and how solid my form looked. Objectively it's one of the best workouts I've had on the program so far.
Also I didn't have time to stretch or even do my flies so that 12 hour car ride fucking sucked as well.

>gunna start squatting in knee wraps again
I got to see some knee wraps (and the wrapping) and geared lifting on saturday, it sounded and looked incredibly painful tbH.
>>36638149
he posted a squat webm like a month ago in here
>>36638120
Yes
If I was in the hypertrophy phase of my training I would train through anything, I'm just wondering if it's worth it when I am already deep into a training cycle to try and push volume PRs
>>36638156
i live for the pain, thats the price you pay to play iron game, etc
>>36638121
Norsie, can you recommend a light band for shoulder stuff for me please? (>>36637976)
>>36638156
It depends on the wraps. Heavy wraps like the ones they use in geared lifting are unbelievably tight. I can't imagine using those on a regular basis.
>>36638177
>Yes
Then train through it. Just be thoughtful of your other club members; wash your hands and spray and wipe down the bar.

Had a shit day on Friday. Only got 1x4 465 squat, 1x4 and 1x2 on 290 bench, only 3 singles on deadlifts at 495. Last week I got 1x5 across at 460/285/490 easy. Anyone else read this thing online about "Rule of 5"? Where one training day is great, one day is shit, three are regular, punch the clock, work days? What do you think about good days/bad days?
Are there any negatives, or positives for that matter, to working up to a daily max before doing your normal setxrep scheme? Currently doing a DUP upper lower 4 day split.
>>36638235
What's your point, friend? I've already been shitposting for a while before I brought it up. Happened like 4 hours ago.

I'm getting pretty good at diagnosing what causes my "bad days".
Only squatted 385 for a triple last Friday, but because I could go "oh yeah, I was basically doing bw squats every 30 seconds for 8 hrs today and I haven't been able to sleep, and I'm cutting" I don't beat myself up too damn much.

Fucking an engaged girl isn't really retarded. She is the one that came up to him first and he has absolutely nothing to do with her relationship.

>>36638444

>>36638444
It's wrong of the girl who's engaged
A cheating gf/fiancée/wife is ALWAYS on the girl
Don't let them try to fool you into believing otherwise
She's worthless scum and it would be wise of Fat Retard to tell the dude that his fiancée is a cheating slut cumdump
>>36638473
It is wrong as a guy to fuck a girl who is in a relationship.
It's wrong as a girl to fuck a guy while she's in a relationship.
Both people are wrong.
>>36638449
>sorry i'm not more help. I've only ever used the cheap ones =\
No worries, friend. I found one on the EliteFTS website (I want to support Tate), but it was $10 and so was shipping.
I don't want to pay the price of the product in shipping, just on principle.
Oh well. Bedtime. I'll figure it out later.
>>36638404

>>36638475
She's a consenting adult, buddy. If she's letting that sly fucker go down on her and riding his face to o-town she's the one doing the harm.
Our boy is just providing a service she would have found elsewhere.

>It is wrong as a guy to fuck a girl who is in a relationship
I'm going to disagree with you on this one lad.
>>36638468
I was more attacking his fallback as being retarded. It's just a way to avoid responsibility for his actions.
>>36638508
>Impossible not for me to fuck up though, I'll always find something.
why do you set yourself up to fail
>>36638514
>if I don't do it someone else will so I might as well
Then that other person would be in the wrong also.
It's wrong to do that. So wrong. It's different if he doesn't know, but knowing that and getting in between a couple about to marry like that is not okay.
Fred steals a car from Bob and then offers to sell it to you for a great price. You know it's stolen. Do you buy it? Don't focus on the legal aspects of the situation. How do you feel about buying Bob's stolen car? Let's say Bob later finds out you bought it and gets angry at you. (He's more angry at the thief, but let's focus on his anger at you.) Do you think he's irrational for being mad? All you did was buy a car? You didn't force the thief to steal it.
>>36638541
It's all on her

You're oldschool Joe, and I like that. You're a good lad, but I don't think it's fair to assign blame to the third party here. I'm not going to try and get you to change your mind though.
>>36638564
It's wrong for both of them. Did you read my posts before you decided to age shame me?
>>36638537
I don't desu. I've been on this planet for 19.5 years, and literally anything I could have messed up, with few exceptions, I have. It's quite shocking to me that I somehow manage to mess up most situations, but it happens. I go into all situations with my all and do my best to succeed. It just doesn't happen often. Not trying to avoid the consequences of my actions, just saying that people shouldn't be surprised.
>>36638564
Tbh benchie and I are about the same age
>>36638564
Hey, don't be fucking patronizing, Joe's opinion is just as valid, even if you disagree.
>>36638585
I agree she is at fault for allowing it, but I think he's at fault for doing it also.
How could you in good conscious do that to another man?
I'm not arguing that she's also at fault though. Fuck her. If you're going to cheat why be in a relationship?
>>36638557
Ok, let's for a second realise that this analogy is awful, because a woman is not a car.
>>36638586
I did and you can't fault the man because as was mentioned earlier she would've found someone else
There's no reason to feel bad about fucking her when it's consensual, in fact the moral thing would be to fuck her and film it and then show her fiancé so he doesn't get suckered in by some unfaithful cunt who'll be walking up the aisle with another man's jizz up her snatch
>>36638537
I can agree with that. I think the whole issue is really a matter of how clear the persons conscience/morality is.
Some people don't want to have a stain on their conscience and some people generally do not give a fuck what wrongs they bring, so there really is no right answer.
>>36638541
"Being in the wrong" is completely dependant on the person. Maybe you feel that way because you personally would feel shitty on the inside by possibly ruining a relationship, while others only care about themselves and their own pleasure and would gladly do it without a second thought.
The fact that the girl is the one that initiated it puts the blame on her for the most part. The best situation would be to let the guy know that his lady is a whore so as to avoid any future heartbreak.
The whole situation is shitty and there is no 'correct' answer.
>>36638610
A woman is a man's property tho
>>36638606

I guess I just have a stronger moral compass than you. For me knowing someone isn't a requirement for treating them well and not doing harm to them.
Call it beta or whatever but I strongly believe you should treat people well.
Ive realized I can't force you to care about others so I'll drop it.
I just strongly believe the whole thing is wrong for both sides.
>>36638624
Yea I can agree with you here. I wouldn't do it with her and then tell the guy she made an advance.
If I had to balls to tell him that is. I'd feel bad about crushing a dude.

>>36638651
>>36638655
I was really iffy about it too. I just gave in because I'm weak as fuck and I kind of like her. Before I did and talked about it with a few people, I was in your mindset desu. You never truly know how you'll act until you're in the situation.
>>36638655
>Ive realized I can't force you to care about others so I'll drop it.
So cold after I defended you.
Treating a person well is giving them complete autonomy. To assign any blame to the third party is to rob the Woman of her entire self determination.
>>36638682
>You never truly know how you'll act until you're in the situation.
>>36638682
I get that. I don't think I ever could but if I did I would feel super guilty.
>>36638683
I don't think blame has to be black and white. More than one person can be in the wrong.
And I didn't really think that was cold since you just said in plain words you don't care about him.
Honestly wasn't trying to be hurtful or anything was just going on what you said.
>>36638683
Obviously the cheater is responsible for their own actions, but that doesn't absolve the third party of responsibility for theirs.

So in my perfect Canada, the government pools public funds and pays hospitals to provide basic healthcare to our workforce.

I don't mean to fuck everybody else over. I would gladly take time out of my life or sacrifice for my family and friends, but living my life always thinking/caring about how my actions/words will impact complete strangers or there opinions of me is not a good way to live imo.
I should have been more clear, but when I say to "be selfish", I mean to just 'bee yourself' and not let others actions/thoughts have an effect on what you want to accomplish or how you live your life.

What did your DL start at? That seems like really good progress and I'm debating on switching to TM or C6W after I finish SS in the coming months, my 1RM for deadlift is 350 atm.

You should have tried as hard during the other cycles as you did during the 40lb one.

c6w is god knows how much in 1.5 months.
I'd stick to TM, at least until you start having trouble increasing it every week.

yeah maybe.

Don't you dare pull a fucking brenchbro. You better be fucking with us.
what's a good intermediate bench program that's not TM?
>>36639642
Try changing what you're currently doing. When your body gets too used to the same type and level of stress, it just becomes hard to progress.
Don't be afraid to try completely different stuff.
But since you have a meet in two weeks, well, at this point you should be ramping for a peaking, not trying to actually progress in training.
Do you have a coach?
>>36639722
>Do you have a coach?
yeah
building/hypertrophy/strength training phases were going great. DL and bench are still going ok going into the peak. squat a shit.
thinking post meet i'm going to go full meme and do a ton of variations at high intensities since i've literally never done variations in my training career.
>>36639719
i won't actually quit but i am feeling /down/
probably a mixture of bad squats, being sick yesterday, and no human interraction all weekend.
>>36639739
Get some pussy m8. If I can do it, then you can most definitely do it.
Side note: my guy friend now wants my cock. When will my chad streak end?
>>36639754
>tormenting a frog with your chadness while he's broken.
i thought we were friends m80.
>>36639739
You're gonna smash it at the meet, don't worry.

It's normal to feel anxious before comp, but you're gonna be so strong and explosive at the day that you're gonna surprise yourself.
>>36639739
>feeling down
I'm a pretty introverted person, but I try to force myself to take an hour long or so walk at night and listen to some comfy music, I like The Doors. That usually clears my head up, sitting home doing jack shit all weekend takes a toll on your mental health.
>>36639754
I've had enough of your chad ways, STOP THIS
>>36639773
Joff, you're hot as fuck. You might be a twink, but you can pull more extremely hot women in a week than I ever could in my life time. You just need to have a little bit of self confidence, and you'll be able to go far.
>>36639777

thanks m8. i just feel like i should be progressing faster, ya feel? first year was crazy good and now it just seems like setback after setback.

Listening to them right now and playing some vidya, super comfy.

I know what it's like to be depressed friend. I've been dealing with it for 5 years, maybe longer. All I can say is that forcing yourself to go out and do things helps a bunch. And don't be afraid to lean on a friend or two. They're there to help you when you're down. And if they're being cunts, then we'll be there for you. That broken feeling, it goes away. At least for me it did. It occasionally comes back, but I have the power to drive it away. We all do.

It's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep coming :)
>>36639842

Breh...
Its just a valley of ups and downs, but the downs always seem more prominent than the ups. Your right though, you have to force yourself to do things and go out or you'll always be a sad cunt.
For half of summer I basically just sat in my room playing dota everyday and started having a quarter life crisis. Then I got a job as a construction worker and was forced to go out and be productive every morning and felt 100x better.
I think the reason I and so many others get depressed is because we want to move forward and make progress so bad, but when we stagnate for days and weeks and are not getting any closer to our goals, we break down.
At least that is how I feel.
>>36639899
This is me right now, I just got fired from a job because I can't commit full time because I am a full-time student, and now I am back to finding a job and I have not gotten any lucky so far.
My gym flow also have been lacking lately all my lifts went down except squats. Also no gf
>>36639899
I feel you friend. We're all gonna make it.
>>36639943
Gfs are temporary friend. They're not the be all end all of this world. The sooner people realize this the better. People end up settling for abusive, terrible people, and end up burying themselves deeper than they were in the first place. I made that mistake. Plenty of people do. It's nice to spend time with someone and have them care about you in the same way you care about them, but there are too many toxic people in this world to try and force it to become a reality.
Lads, no matter how much of a cunt someone else, or even me, acts toward you, remember that you are loved. Someone, somewhere, cares about you with all their heart. And there will always be some anon that will be there for you. Because they know how you feel. They've experienced it and don't want others to feel the same pain they did. I'm a little drunk typing this up, but I love you all. No matter how much any of you may hate me, I'll always be there for you as a friend.
Should I shave my legs and arms so I can look more aesthetic?
And it will make my SBD(tm) knee sleeves go on easier
>>36639943
Fuck GFs nigga, focus on sorting your shit out first. Learning to become uncomfortably comfortable with being lonely is a good skill since there will be times when the only person you have to lean against is yourself.

Been lifting for like 9-10 months, any advice and tips? i am doing 5x5 deadlift bench and squat with 1 break day plus sled.
>>36640267
>5x5 deadlift
:o
do less
>>36640267
If your having trouble progressing maybe try Advanced Novice Routine in Practical Programming, pic related.
Buy and read SS/PP also, I've made more gains in the past 3 months than I ever have just because I stopped being a twink faggot and started eating right and lifting hard.
>>36638912
I have, twice.
First was because I had lower back pain caused by weak and tight glutes.
Second time was when I strained my lower back.
Their education is heavily based on muscles and skeletons (i.e. much of the same as physiotherapists), so as long as your problem is related to that and they don't apply their quackery in your treatment, you should be fine I think.
>>36640208
Forget about this shit and just do it.
Thinking too much is only going to hold you back.
>>36640267
if 4 of those sets aren't warm ups, you're doing way too much volume. if increasing weight is your goal, do 1x5 and warm up. i do 4-5 warm up sets; later ones are 1-3 reps
>>36640267
Eat more
Drop the sled
Deadlift 1x5
>>36640291
I'm in canada so hopefully that means something for qualifications. I really don't wanna have a stroke, I just want 5pl8 dead
>>36640342
Why do you think you've fucked your shit up?
>>36640267
Going to continue my thing of being a broken record - join a club,
>>36640395
Not him but it can be impossible to find a club or even a coach if you don't live in a big city
I'm not big on online coaching unless you're particularly advanced
I've been getting back into daily maxing and want to work some real deadlifting into it. I dont feel like light-ish singles once or twice a week are that effective. How does one into high frequency diddies?
Tfw no gf
Tfw can never squat again
Tfw 2pl8 bench no longer feels like a milestone
>>36640395
I wish it were that easy
>>36640412
Agreed.
Online coaching is a terrible idea. But if it is at all possible it is almost always a good choice to join a club.
>>36640390
I don't, mom has degenerative spine disease, so wouldn't hurt to see if I have it too. I wanna deadlift over 700lbs some day, but won't do it if it means fucking up my shit later in life. Again, I feel no pain during or after deads, so most likely worrying about nothing.
>>36640426
I wish there was a club or a coach around here cause I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to go next with my programming
My bench is stuck and I've done all the "bench more, eat more, bench even more, add bench variations" and still nothing
>>36640455
Have you tried microloading? I was stalled at 170ish and it brought me up to 190 in the past few weeks and still progressing.
>>36640501
Fuck off trappy. Micro loading is a compromise for bad programming.
>>36640509
I'm doing SS and started benching basically the bar. I've had a ton of stalls around 170 and microloading helped me pass that plateau.
Why don't you enlighten me to a better novice program for making progress on the lifts?
>>36640523
oh boy you should have asked...

at least its not as bad as the revelian one i did. if other companies uses revelian as well then your test score is basically automatically sent to that company. theres no way to prepare for that test because it disguises itself as a 'game'
>>36640455
iktf, friend. My bench was a real problem for me for a long time.
Getting all sorts of autistic with my bench technique was the only thing that fixed me once I started stalling.
>Stalling on bench
Boris feels bad for ya son.

How much volume in total do you guys do?
Around 25 reps for a exercise per workout?
>>36640551
It's a fucking program that does as advertised. SS doesn't even do that! Everybody on SS has varied results (usually a shit bench) and mark rippetoe says you can add something like 30lbs of muscle in 6 months.
He's s lying shit

you didn't do the program

81 reps for bench yesterday. Fuck sheiko

how short is cauchi? 5'10?
>>36640955
nope lol, like 5'2
>>36640923
Do you feel like it increases your strength a lot?
I do various row exercises on pull day accumulating to 50-60 reps. Making big strength gains on it but one article stated that 24-26 reps was optimal for strength gain.

stay mad lanklet
i have to ask; why the fuck does everyone suggest dropping volume on deadlifts? grand master sheiko doesn't take that shit and honestly 7x5 deadlifts gave me more progress than anything else. of course a single deadlift day is preffered but damn, 1 working set of 5? niqqaaqqaaaaa
>>36641063
ss is not a pl program
>>36641063
Always wondered the same thing.
However, 7x5 sounds pretty retarded desu
>>36641063
>i have to ask; why the fuck does everyone suggest dropping volume on deadlifts?
>everyone
Rippetoe and a bunch of idiots who read SS and trained for 2 months is not "everyone"
>>36641091
Swole Hitler used to do 8 sets.
>>36641090
>>36641096
alls im saying is whenever someone posts a program with more than one top set of deads, they get spunked on by a bunch of spergs with the same idea that you only need one set
>>36641091
i generally do 5x5 or 4x6 while not peaking, but 7x5 is a fuckin tough time lads
>>36637496
>Not 5"11 master race height
Niggas my girlfriend is 5"9. Remember this, 5"11 will always be the king of manlets. Anything above it and your a lanklet awkward looking mother fucker, anything below it and you are a true manlet.
It is legit the optimal height.
