Lads I just thought of something. Why do powerlifting and weightlifting have weight classes?
The best lifter is the person with the highest wilks/Sinclair which is calculated from whatever you weigh in at, so why have classes at all? Just for scheduling?
>>36649296
>bragging about 8x6

>>36649296
the easiest way to tell you're not actually bodorio is that you have to have absolutely no interaction with other people to think that cuck is a common, or even effective, insult
its the ultimate sign of insecurity. i can't believe you lead a life where getting cucked is a widespread problem. its the new "ur a virgin lol"
>>36649332
They had weight classes before the Wilks score existed. I doubt we'll be seeing the weight classes go away any time soon, especially with Wilks score being imperfect.
>>36649352
nah the easiest way to tell is the wrong tripcode Tbh
>>36649329
dont worry friend. so am i. enjoy being the objectively best height.
>>36649332
It makes it easier to compare with your competitors. One guy lifts 800 the other guy lifts 802.5 and wins.
If we just compare of wilks then one guy lifts 500 so the other guy has to lift 823.3 because he is heavier. Doesn't really make sense.
>>36649345

Well babe, that's a little far for me to drive when I have plentiful scandi golden-blonde pussy surrounding me, but I know a certain 190cm 190kg filipino that might enjoy you, you dtf?
I'd like to compete, but I'm always afraid I'll be much weaker than everyone and end up just wasting everyone's time.
I'm 6'4", so to even look like I lift, I have to weigh at least 225 (current weight is ~232).
Current lifts are
Squat 300x5
Bench 220x5
Deadlift 335x5
I'm thinking of competing when I can 1RM 3/4/5 plate so I at least don't embarrass myself.
Any advice? What were your stats when you first competed?
how do people even squat in tanktops/singlets without a shirt? the cold bar on my bare shoulders/traps feels so awkward

1: The website is nowhere near finished. The priority right now is to finish adding the content. Formatting and
2: Most of the stuff already is sourced. Honestly I can't find a single non-sourced thing there right now. If you can, please let me know and I'll fix it.
Not sure if I'd call it "compiled" either, since 90% the stuff there is actually either OC or my own conclusions/opinions on certain things, except for specific stuff like the SS page, but I digress.
>>36647720
Yes, it's usually that the descent of the spoto is more controlled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmZ0u7qso3g
The bar is also being paused in the air, so being held all by your muscles, instead of being able to rest it on top of the skeletal structures when going all the way to the chest.

Just go when you feel ready senpai. I just started lifting seriously this year and am trying to hit 3/2/4 for reps by the end of July/August and then taper off into a PL program and compete by the end of the year. Still deciding if I should do 83kg or 93kg since I'm a 5'9 tall as fuck lanklet.
Even if I do not hit my goals I'm still going to compete for the experience, who cares about what others think of you. If anything, forcing yourself to go and see all the others lifting heavy ass shit would do nothing but inspire me to push even harder come the next meet.

serious question, if i start doing sumo, do I still do things like rack pulls and rdls the same way that I normally would
>>36649761
How? Squat is literally my worst lift at this point. I'm able to progress sumo so fast it's unbelievable.
>>36649776
>Emperor_Palpatine.jpeg
Low bar is maximum comfy
>>36649786
I'm not the person to ask. I don't do any deadlift accessories currently, nor do I have the experience to answer that. I would think you'd do them based on what you're trying to accomplish or preference, but that's just a guess and will most likely be proven wrong.
>>36649676
>All the experience lifters were incredibly helpful, positive and encouraging and the atmosphere was great, the whole thing was fun and I'm really glad I went.
So you're saying it was the exact opposite of "here".
Leave. Never come back. Go have fun powerlifting.
>>36649439
would you make fun of someone weaker than you? after all the effort you put into getting even as far as you did? though you know that you and them are the same, removed from each other only by time and circumstance?
powerlifting is not a team sport. it is the culmination of every effort you have made, and the comparison of those efforts.
the only thing your interactions at a meet will consist of is discussions of how to become a better lifter. it'll be amazing
>>36649789
>Squat is literally my worst lift at this point.
Try harder and get bigger quads.
>>36649786
It is highly ineffective to do romanian sumo deadlifts or stiff legged sumo deadlifts, so those should be done conventional. Block/rack pulls should be done with your main stance, same thing with deficits, paused deadlifts, etc.
>>36649844
>sumo is my almost my best lift at this point
I don't think my quads are the issue. The issue is that I had to stop linear progression for squats due to not being able to recover enough, while sumo can take adding 10 lbs a session. Besides,
>low bar master race
Current stats:
280x5 squat
225x3x5 bench
355x5 sumo deadlift
>>36649789
You wouldn't be progressing on sumo if you weren't doing sumo in the first place.
kek
>>36649786
>do I still do things like rack pulls and rdls the same way that I normally would
The point of assistance exercises it to strengthen your muscles. So it doesn't matter much, really.
Some people like doing RDLs with sumo stance, though. I know sheiko recommends something similar to that.
>>36649893
It's either that or flounder with conventional because I sit back so much and stress my back a lot with low bar, causing me to not be able to recover properly for deadlifts.
>>36648664
How much should I reduce on bench press if I'm not using any leg drive?
AWWWWWW YIIISSSSSSSS BREHS

>So you're saying it was the exact opposite of "here".
Well, I've only been browsing /plg/ since last september or so, so I don't know if it was "better" or "different" in the past, but I think the complaints about the attitude and atmosphere here are pretty exaggerated. I think most people here are fairly positive, fairly helpful and that most everyone wants both to get better and everyone else to get better too. Even without asking too many questions I've learned so much browsing here, reading discussions about lifting, getting exposed to new sources of knowledge, lifters to follow and read about and study, so many different training methodologies and all that. There is shitposting and there are threads where only stupid or pointless subjects are talked about, there is certainly some negativity, but I'm not bothered by it and tend to just ignore it. If a thread is shit and it bothers you, you could always just turn your pc or phone off and go do something else like read a book or collect rocks.
Competing did make me want to find a powerlifting friendly gym or preferably a powerlifting club though, like really REALLY badly. I might have to move to do so though.
>>36649980
but you're a genetic dead end
your wilks is literally less 300 even though you're autistic about strength training

You get stronger by recovering, not by lifting. This is basic stuff, lad.
I haven't been to the gym in three months, I need to optimize my recovery.
>>36650463
first day is the hardest workout of the whole program imho
week 2 workouts were hard, but I can manage those triples ok, but sets of 6 and 8 always get the best of me

I'm a weakfag 5'11" 190lbs, 405 squat, 250 bench, 445 deadlift... been doing candytoe 6wk for a while now; on my 4th cycle currently. Been adding 10-15lbs to squat, 5lbs to bench, and 15-20lb to deadlift, every cycle. Day 1 is hard, but week 2's squat workouts destroy me every time. Still, it's fun overall.
Bench isn't progressing as fast as I want (I added extra accessories and volume this cycle, so we'll see), but I feel like I'm still getting stronger overall, so I'm afraid to switch programs...
>>36650567
if only there was some sort of new meme bench program that lasts 6 weeks that you could use instead of c6w programming....

>>36650777
>>36650754
* 20 weeks.
>>36650777
Eh, yeah if you hit a bout of progress MAYBE. Doesn't matter high bar or low. Low would get you to your goal if you're maxing out desu. Could train high bar and max low bar
>>36650840
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9qvSilCNkc&ab_channel=JackDurkin
These are the easiest looking max effort squats ive ever done and ive only recently began training consistently since i got a 50+10hrs travel job.
>>36650840
>Could train high bar and max low bar
I would absolutely 100% not do this.
they are pretty different movements, and if you do your training highbar, that's what will get better. your lowbar may improve a bit, but it you want your lowbar squat to get better, then squat lowbar more.
>>36650840
i figure if i hit a 200kg front squat which should be very soon I'll be able to hit a 235kg back squat
>>36650863
Yeah they look good but there's no real front: back ratio that's a reference.
hey poutine, you said a while back you had a tight glute thing that caused back pain. I'm having the same thing and my traditional remedy of rolling the shit out of piriformis isn't really working
wat u do
>>36650888
agreed
>>36650735
What kind of reps have you been doing? Are you going off percentages or feel? Have you really done no raw benching for several weeks?
Most importantly, have you made gains?
>>36650900
at estimated 188 max front squat i hit 220 back squat and i figure the ratio will stay similar since i already have a really high front to back ratio
>>36650906
>wat u do
Suffered. Ignored it and tried to work through it. Had a back spasm. Couldn't walk properly for three days. Gave up deadlifts for an entire month, and then switched to sumo.
It still talks to me sometimes, the old injury, but it doesn't deter me anymore.
Rest. Nothing else worked.
>>36650735
>>36650636
I should add that to the sticky.
>>36650951
Haven't even tested gains. Every training day ends up at rpe9-9.5 where the weight is the variable
Fun as fuck tho
>>36650888
Strong people advocate high bar training low bar max like CWS and Bryce Lewis. I'm not saying one is right or wrong, just throwing it out there
W E W L A D
had a shit bench session today. I think it's because I ate a spicy chicken burger right before working out
>>36651086
do they do all of their training high bar?
I can see it being a useful variation or assistance, but doing all of your training highbar leading up to a max doesn't sound like a good move.
>>36651101
Afaik they like running high bar for volume blocks so they can put more volume into their quads without taking a major hit to their training economy
>>36651085
Yes, immortalize it
Srs tho wait for the 3.0, this might take some natty tweaking
>>36650980
hmm. Maybe the rolling could help you

elevate feet, use one hand or use one leg. Find small children and have them sit on you. Get a ball and put your hands on the ball.

I'd try as hard as I can. But although I had two "successes", I counted then as failures due to immense form break down on the last rep of the last set, or something similar. The form breakdowns were so immense that I just decided to switch to TM and not waste the week that I would be starting.

>>36651459
I'm on TM. C6W might be in my future to get my squat the fuck up after my cut. Might have to program bench separately, depending on how it treats me on the first cycle.
>>36651473
That's already part of it, at the lifter's discretion.
First you came for the frequency, and I said nothing.
Then you came for the volume, and I said nothing.
Now you say you're coming back, and I say no.
>>36651504

If you do the right thing, I'll let you talk to me again.

Spotoshot 2.0 would be fun as fuck, but I'd have to see how other stuff treats me first. Running it in the future is a very real possibility. At this point I don't know by body well enough to even consider running it. 3/5/1 might help me figure out my body a little more, but I think I'd be fairly bad with Spotoshot 2.0 even after that. And I'm not sure what would be the best way to learn how to do that kind of freeform program.

Sithbro stop trying to lure the younglings to the dark side
>>36651652
You want to lick my Benis, little guy?
>>36651665
No because I probably can't fit it in my macros for the day

Why even live?
>>36651686
>he counts macros
>>36651602
That's what I was thinking, but I was hoping that there are some free form concepts/programs that I could experiment with before attempting that. I guess not. We'll see how other stuff treats me. I'm really interested to see what your and boardshorts' results are after you finish your respective cycles.
>>36651652
SSB looks fun as fuck though famalam. And the slingamajig too.

shhh it's ok Little Aaron
Print this out and paste it onto your body pillow

Because then only 1 person would ever win, which would be okay I guess but the wilks formula is far from perfect.

If I squat 500 before any of you, do I win a prize?
>>36651739
more?
>>36651846
srry my camera isn't working lol
>>36651842
No, there are already a bunch of 500lb squatters on here.
>>36651867
Yeah that weigh like 250 and have a wilks of 10
Alright lads, I'm gonna tuck into some reading a bit.
How does /plg/ combat apathy and procrastination?
>>36651878
nn lad
>>36651885
How long until you get to test your gains from your first Spotoshot 2.0 cycle?
>>36651874
That weigh 250
Problem, twink?
>>36651888
Next week la
>>36651874
There are no wilks formulas in the jungle.
>>36651893
How much do you think you'll have put on your bench?
>>36651883
whisky and caffeine for the latter
>>36651912
0 probably but I won't know until I know
Y'know?
My arms are noticeably bigger tho, from my advanced bench program and the insane volume I've done lately
>>36651912
>>36651893
Can you please enlighten me to this Spotoshot method.
>>36651888
Either later this week or next week.
>>36651934
Captain Poutwink and Jofftwink are gonna be BTFO immediately kek
>>36651893
No problem, will be hilarious when I out squat you nearly 80 pounds lighter than you and multiple years younger
Panzer would kill Sean in a fight
>>36651949
>calling my friends twinks
Rude.
And we'll see. I only bench 405, you know.
>>36651985
What's your programming for the SSB? I can't remember for some reason.

can't believe this came out almost a decade ago

>>36652015
LP. 5x5, for the most part. Did one session of triples.
>>36652031
"405"* :^)
>>36652083
How much are you doing for 5x5 at this point?
>>36652037
>*grabs by the throat

>>36652139
Just the little pink dumbbells. I hang them off the bar with bands. I'm hoping to do a single with the baby blue ones.

Careful friend, you might create another meme.
>>36652208
We certainly wouldn't want that.

Everybody starts somewhere. We aren't all 250lbs, you know.

where does lewis advocate high bar training for anyone but new lifters?
>>36652619
>>36652633
>but for beginners and intermediates
>>36652641
>implying the vast majority of us aren't beginner or intermediate
>>36648691
DELETE THIS
>>36652633
So many memes.
Just learn to squat low bar correctly and don't grip the bar like a retard.
>>36652655
>for anyone but new lifters
no i didnt actually imply that
hard to know what he means with "intermediate" here though
>>36651448
Sorry but this sounds more like you couldn't keep up with the progression scheme (which is perfectly okay) than a "recovery issue". Not everything is fatigue, eventually you need to periodically and go to longer cycles for reasons that aren't fatigue.
You can take a straight newbie and make them do a new 1rm twice a week for a couple weeks probably, when they finally fail is it because they recovered poorly? Probably not.
>>36652699
There are no recovery issues in the jungle.
>>36652665
Does Bryce not have a point tho? Is Bryce not qualified to have a valid opinion on this?
>>36652666
Dude seriously I wish there was a better way to draw that line. Like CWS, the asshole he is, considers himself a beginner. Like, c'mon man
>>36652699
Pretty much this. There's two sides to getting stronger - doing the work needed to force adaption and then getting rid of the fatigue built up doing that. If your workload isn't enough to force the adaption all then your recovery (or lack thereof) doesn't mean much.
>>36652716
>CWS a beginner
Didn't Norris said he didn't consider himself elite or someshit too? Yeah, it gets really dumb, "intermediate" is literally anything from 3 months to 10 years training age depending on who you ask.
I like that some are starting to refer to classification charts instead now, then you get some idea of what they mean at least.
>>36652716
He can have the opinion he wants, but let's be frank, the whole high bar and low bar debate is stupid, and all the problems he mentions with low bar is simply fixable by not being a retard.
>>36652754
I like Rippetoes way of defining begginer/intermediate/advanced desu
Beginners can make progress on LP every workout
Intermediates need a week long cycle of stress/recovery/adaptaion
Advanced need a month-long periodized, or something similar, routine of stress/recovery/adaptation.
This way you can judge a person's skill level not on how much they lift but on how well they are able to make progress in certain programs.
For instance if some guy cannot make any progress on an SS scheme but is able to make progress weekly doing TM, he is intermediate or something similar.
>>36652772
>but let's be frank, the whole high bar and low bar debate is stupid
It's not, on one side people claim that high bar is objectively better on the other we have WR holders using high bar.
>>36652754
Norris is elite though. better yet, world class
But yeah the whole beginner intermediate advanced thing is fuzzy at best
>>36652772
I don't disagree la. Doesn't hurt to have a different opinion though
>>36652779
I used to like it too, problem with it is that it only works if you actually follow Rippe's programming. If you follow Sheiko's templates for example you'll have fuckall idea if you are able to linearly progress workout to workout or not
>>36652785
>Norris is elite though
..yeah, what I said.
>>36652780
CWS says high bar is best for building strength, low bar is best for displaying it
I have no opinion because I don't know shit about shit
>>36652780
>people are memers
no shit son
>WR holders
doesn't mean shit. there are weightlifting WRs that have been done with the world's most awful technique.
to get a WR you need:
- be genetic freak
- train a lot
- use gear
doesnt matter what the fuck you do besides that.
>>36652810
>CWS says high bar is best for building strength, low bar is best for displaying it
it's pretty clear that CWS has asinine opinions on the subject.
What is everyone training today,
>>36652810
Yeah, seems Aita agrees on that too and you could say he has some squatting experience. Honestly I don't think this will ever get further than what we have for deadlift stane, bench stance etc. You try both for a while and see which you respond better to. It's what Tuscherer coaches too IIRC
>>36652822
>WR holders
>doesn't mean shit
you're an idiot
Yo so guys how much would putting on fat help with my lifts? because i weigh like (70kg)154.324lb and i am unsure if i want to go up in body fat and weight in order to get stronger. Anyone else here had experience with bulking in order to gain strength? btw my weight range would want to be around 165lb(75kg)-(80kg)176lb
>>36652852
need height but the answer is going to be "yes you should be gaining weight twink bitch"
