It's a rare treat that has happened more often recently.
>>36800986
So since you're a girl I'm gonna assume you use bath bombs
They basically just make the bath smell nice and add crazy colors right? Is that nicer than just a regular bath?
I've never done any drugs or drank alcohol in my life. Should I start off with cocaine?
Is it normal to start out dead lifting weights at 405. Never touched a weight before last night desu.

Anything can be a treat but still is bad for you. marijuana rots your mind.

I drew ur brain on maryjuwana

What muscle is weak if I get stuck in a bench at a bottom.
Was maxing yesterday and the bar literally stopped when I was trying to go over 90 degrees for my arms. But shot up once I got over that. Usually I get stuck when I get halfway and crawl to the very top but this was a crawl at the start and quickly to the top.
It also felt like I was going to fail after I passed the 90 degree part on the descent. I honestly didnt feel like I was going to get it up and was going to just call it but I went ahead and dropped it to my chest and to my surprise I actually got it back up. Seems like whatever muscle was weak I did the exact limit of it.
>>36801029
Also post bath shot. I'd fap to that.
>>36801053

You are not right for this general. You don't want to compete in powerlifting, you just want to lift a bit in the gym, look good and have fun (with drugs and boys and whatever).
You objectively don't belong.

can you make a vocaroo saying:
"Oi Sean, you little bloody wanker, the things I'd do to you and that beautiful body of yours
Bend down and let that cock hang down from under you

Can't decide what Greg nuckols deadlift program to run. Thinking about a 2 day because my squat is 10kg stronger than my deadlift. And only squatting 1 day. The only issues are
>I fatigue deadlifts easily
>I can't do chins as frequently as I want
just finished SS with roughly 1/2/3/4 for 1RM. what routine should i do now? 5-6 workout days per week would be nice

GZCL UHF 5 week perhaps?
Percentages are based off training maxes, which are basically defined as a weight you can do for 2 reps any day of the week. The 2RMs in pic related are
Squat - 275
Bench - 190
Deadlift - 295
Front sq - 165
Incline bench - 135
There's more detail about it all in the spreadsheet if you're interested
Front Squat 180 for 7 reps = 218lbs (1RM)
Did 3x10 @ 60% of 1RM (130lbs)
Was dying.
Did the samething with Bench .... was completely fine. Wtf. Why are front squats so hard
>>36802184
upper back strength
doing 5reps+ with front squats seems odd to me, whenever I do so I have to stop the set not because my leg strength is failing me but just because I'm about to fold over or am just gassed
>>36802193
>upper back strength
ya for sure this
Obviously i need to get stronger cause im still a novice but its like goddamn, fucking 130lbs for 3x10 is kicking my ass.
Hehehehe
>>36802269
Everyone knows lats are used in the bench press...
You need big lats for stability and scapula retraction. Something I'm missing in my bench...
>>36802193
>whenever I do so I have to stop the set not because my leg strength is failing me but just because I'm about to fold over or am just gassed
Fucking this
Front squats are such a pain in the dick. If I go higher than 5 reps my form collapses due to lack of core strength. I still remember the ab doms when I first started doing front squats

Hey lads how can I make TM better?
My stats:
55kg bench
240lbs deadlift
35kg overhead press
>>36802292
Do facepulls.
Let shoulders come forward on eccentric and squeeze back gud on concentric.
Don't focus on pulling as much as pretending pushing yourself off the ground using your elbows.
>>36802469
>mixing kg and pounds
Reeeeeee
Go do some LP program instead of TM. You don't need weekly periodization hey.

Don't worry senpai I'm doing overload work and ez singles today.
I don't think I wanna add more benching than what I already have.
Give me your best sumo tricks and cues that made your sumo better please

>don't try to take a stance too wide
>shins vertical
>don't be afraid to "sit back" even if it means your hips are farther away from the bar (which seems counter intuitive but if I don't do this my hips rise before the bar leaves the floor anyways)
>initiate with almost like a leg press, keeping your external rotation
I found my sumo form became a lot more solid by watching Bryce Lewis pull. Don't try to be like the russians or chris duffin with their near vertical torso.
>>36802764
Do you cue chest up or something to that extent?

What are you running after CLutz?
How do you rate CLutz?
Do you have any meets planned ever?
>>36803238
He said LOOKS like
In fact they have their hips really high when the bar leaves the ground but remain upright because of external rotation and long arms and also being a manlet makes the bar proportionally higher from the ground
That's why they're the best sumo pullers
Their knee angle is almost as open as conventional whilst having a really upright torso
then you'll get an average length armed lanklet with no mobility trying to get as upright as possible and wondering why he can't pull shit
Think before you open your mouth

>>36803391
why does he only have 1 wrist wrap on
>>36803392
You're a joke
>>36803291
I haven't decided yet. Options are:
My own programming
12 week Sheiko
C6W lower only + CLutz upper only (2 cycles successively)
My own lower programming + CLutz upper (2 cycles)
I'd rate it 10/10 for bench best bench programming I've ever done. I'm not sure for squat and pull yet. Hopefully it ends up going well but the outlook isn't awesome right now.
I have a meet planned in July. The one that like 4-5 other dudes from plg are doing.
>>36803414
It's the /plg/ friendship bracelet.
>>36803414
Because he hurt that wrist
>>36803449

>>36803454
yeah but why not wear both
>>36803431
>CLutz
You got yourself a slingshot? How would you say it affects the movement? I'm running GZCL's UHF atm and doing reverse bands bench rather than slingshot bench atm seeing as no one sells slingshots in Sweden, all the set-up is almost annoying enough for me to order it from abroad however..
>>36803492
I have a Super Ram not a slingshot
Feels mostly like a regular bench desu
>>36803469
IIRC, he usually doesn't wear them to begin with. I did the same when I hurt my wrists, only wrapped one wrist. I didn't need to wrap the other one. I would assume that the same applies to him.
What's the lift hardest to progress and why is it the squat?

all of those squats would have been redlighted
and the reason he is stronger than you is because of a) world class coaching and b) he wants it more than you
rippetitis can you post SSBs heaviest deadlift from the other night
>>36803574
you're doing it wrong
I'm not gonna explain everything all over again because I must've typed this all out in detail at least a dozen times...
You're not supposed to base ID off VD, you're supposed to increase ID with the lowest possible increases on VD (minimum necessary stimulus to drive progression), if you keep VD on the low end and keep upping ID, when you fail ID you will know the reason to be near 100% that your VD is no longer enough of a stimulus to drive progression at which point you increase VD by a tiny amount
e.g.
week 1: VD 120x5x5 / ID 140x5
week 2: VD 120x5x5 / ID 142.5x5
week 3: VD 120x5x5 / ID 145xFAIL
week 4: VD 122.5x5x5 / ID 145x5
week 5: VD 122.5x5x5 / ID 147.5x5
etc

>>36803805
His name is Spotoshot bro, abbreviated to SSB
Anyone else has a way better time benching when someone does the unracking for you?
I really don't feel like I lose much of my set up during unracking, so I don't know why this is the case for me.
>>36803668
>dat hitching
>>36803668

Kek, okay, I thought the retardation has reached new levels.
>>36803836
Makes a huge difference for me
>>36803836
Do you have the pins set too low? I've noticed if the pins are way too low, then it's easier to bench when someone unracks it for me. Otherwise, I still only unrack it myself.
>>36803843
Ask him. He's a late night east coast anon
>>36803836
Jap unrack nigga
>tfw you managed to create a meaningful three word sentence using two racial slurs
>week of only 87.5% AMRAP's coming up
this'll be interesting
>>36803845
What
>>36803850
But why :/
>>36803859
They are set quite high actually :/
Do you unrack with hips in the air or with your full set up?
>>36803888
My setup isn't conducive to unracking it myself at all. At least not on non-competition benches.
how are you supposed to breath during the squat? do you inhale and hold it in and then descend, and then exhale during ascent?
>>36803888
I do full set up, but considering I'm like 210 benching 240 for my working sets on SS, its not super difficult for me to unrack it yet. When I was thinner I occasionally did ass in the air unracks for my max/near max. If it's too high then that would also probably cause it, just like Sabertooth's probably.
>>36803897
I've been meaning to ask you, why don't you have the bar on the lower pins, so that way you don't have to re-set up after you unrack?
>>36803897
As in you are also set up quite low on the bench?
Currently have no spotter and I think it takes around 2.5kg off my 3 RM.
Debating now whether or not I want to go for that 125 triple of bail out at 122.5 and do that for a few more sets
No safties here :/
>>36803915
hold it from start to finish
>>36803919
The lower pins are way, way too low.
>>36803946
Just my whole setup with the wide grip and shoulder position and everything doesn't work on my gym's benches.
>>36804017
I see.
I just got myself some random guy to help me. Was a little scared that a 50kg guy might be in a little trouble spotting that, but then I remembered its only 125kg after all and got off my horse.
Set went very well.
Now trying 127.5 actually, wish me luck.
>>36803431
Any reason you only want to continue with the Clutz upper? No good for DL/SQ? I've been running Sheiko for a long ass time now and was thinking about switching to something else for a while. Granted I did the modded sheiko for hypertrophy and also dieted down a bit, so I could go back to the main programs soon again, I guess.
Sheiko feels fun and strong during the prep cycles, but I never seem to hit too good numbers during the peak. My problem is probably rarely maxing anymore (skipping peaking cycles), since I dont have spotters or safe equipment, shit benches that won't let me use prefered grip etc.
C6W seems to be (a lot?) heavier, which might be what I need. But the program looks a bit strange to me. Might try TSA or Clutz if it's good for bench since it's something I really need to bring up. Sheiko bench works quite well though, since I dont need spotters due to low %.
>>36804207
A lot of people that aren't Filip tier strong need to hit some heavier lifts during sheiko cycles to get the most out of it.
ie isley doing quite a bit of joegramming for bench and inflating his sq/dl and making great gains.
The bicep tear video that's been floating around on /fit/ has me pretty spooped.
Is there anything wrong with doing mixed grip diddlys? Is mixed grip more dangerous? Should I alternate the over/under hands each set?
>>36804207
I may be totally wrong and I'll end up stronger on mock meet day, it just seems like the bench keeps feeling better and better as I go and all the sets feel really solid while the lower body sets feel really rough with higher RPEs at lower percentages and less fatigue because there's less volume than the benching.
I think it may just be overcomplicated for my shitty squat and DL while it's exactly appropriate for my bench. I also don't like 2X/week squatting instead of 3.
>>36804245
Ask elsewhere please.
if i were to do some linear 3x5 sets on bench/squats and want to progress on them biweekly, at what % of 1rm should i start? (135kg bp/200kg Sq 1rm)
>>36804245
Yes it is more dangerous to the underhand biceps
No you shouldn't see any real imbalances for sticking to one consistent underhand
>>36804288
is the danger significant or am I just overthinking this?
>>36804300
Not particularly as long as you're mindful to have your underhand at full motherfuckin extension
>>36804149
No one wished me luck but I got it anyways.
Pauses might have been a little short though.
Watched an IPF bench classic of 2012 recently and their pause was almost 2 seconds on average.
Really hoped the pause would be more like 1 second, but I guess I'll have to train with longer pauses, even on my max days.
>>36804239
I'll probably need to do this, although I already am for DL, where I do more of my own thing. I'm very used to the volume and recently cut 7kg while doing Sheiko without too much issue, but when I suddenly get to big weights during the peak I seem to fall apart, or at least only hit 100%.
>>36804239
I think rather than inflating maxes, ramping some of your sets is probably a smarter/safer approach. e.g., on a 4x2@85 day, start with an 85 double, then add five or ten for the next, or ramp singles for the same number of total reps.
Sabertooth, you still here? I have a programming question.
>>36804317
Good luck lad.
Also I think right around one second is pretty standard imo and ime.

"yes" but not really. It might feel more stable because it's easier to keep your back wider, but in general wider/pec dominant is better.

>>36804599
You tall? A lot of taller/lankier people seem to do better, anecdotally, with a narrower grip. Although, it's up to personal preference. Most people aren't going to bench more as soon as they switch to max legal grip.
>>36804641

Hi Boardshorts,
I was wondering if you could post / link spotoshot program and also your opinion of it? Sorry, you have probably been asked this a lot.
Also wanted to let you know I did my top set of diddlies the other day and when I was done strapped up. Got a lot more out of my workout. Glad I took your "advise".

Thanks lad!
I guess I'll keep it at a clean 1 second pause.
So, next week I'll get a 130kg triple ... starting to wonder what my 1 RM probably is ... I am thinking around 135kg.
I won't test it, but it might be usual to readjust the volume weights a little.

Feels good, mang

I was looking for this pic all morning
>>36805251
nah
>>36805221
so, here's three things about your squat
>lots of knee travel
this isn't inherently wrong, just noteworthy
>bar creeps forward towards the bottom, doesn't go up and down in a straight line
>torso and hips don't change from going down to going up at the same time (torso leaning forwards)
the knee travel is fine if thats how you want to squat , not going to hurt you.
However the other two things can be alleviated by doing some technique work
i fucking LOVED pause squats. love love love. start with them.
Pause at the bottom of the squat, don't divebomb into the hole like you're doing rn (control the descent), and then pause AGAIN at the sticking point, about halfway up.do this for at least 3 seconds. You should feel imbalanced af and realize "oh fuck, my hips / knees / torso can't be in that position" and fix it. I would start out with something like 20-40 % and work up as you feel fit. I did working sets of 4 of this movement at 70%
after you have fun with those, move on to total slow squats. faceguy recommended me these and they're fucking incredible. shoot for 15-25 second Time Under Tension (TUT). do about the same % progression as the pause squats. I've done single slow squats, 20s TUT for around 75%
>>36805233
mostly joking senpai.
yesterday i went in and had planned on squatting. But i didn't want to squat.
so i thought to myself "wtf am i doing, I don't have to fucking squat"
so i hit a c&j PR instead

plz delete this post ty
>>36805355
you're still winning the 120s at natty nats, right?
>>36805355
oh come the fuck on that's too much knee travel for him, they shouldn't go much further than what he shoots back to
Anyone watching the men's 83kg right now? The varsity teams are up.

that wasn't a joke, faggot. Valsalva all the way through.

>>36805391
lmao dude get out
too much knee travel is like 90% a joke
yes there are extremes that are too much, but i seriously just don't buy it in most cases.
He could robably stand to bring it back a little, but I think if he focuses on the other things it'll happen naturally from the positions.
>>36805437
>lmao dude get out
ill rek u faggot meet me not online
>He could robably stand to bring it back a little
yes, that's what i said
>I think if he focuses on the other things it'll happen naturally from the positions.
or he could just not let them go forward with that little control, issue is probably just general loss of tightness and trying to control knees is part of that
For bench volume day TM, what should my RPE be for 5x5? on my last set last rep, should i aim for that to be close to 10? or is that too heavy
>>36805437
>implying i'm even going
IT STARTS WITH
ONE THING, I DON'T KNOW WHY
IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY
>>36805497
>>36805497
>issue is probably just general loss of tightness and trying to control knees is part of that
'no'
>yes, that's what i said
yeah, but he could also do just fine without bringing them back.
>>36805522
>>36805535
>'no'
learning to control your position in the hole is pretty important for a good squat
>yeah, but he could also do just fine without bringing them back.
yes but he's probably not striving for "fine" but for "efficient". i'll bring out an argument from authority and say sheiko knows his shit, suck it

Maybe you'd be a better lifter if you actually followed a program instead of doing your own thing and subsequently make no gains since your noob gains stopped years ago

you misspelled "move to california and become CWS's disciple"
>>36805619
>>36805619
>learning to control your position in the hole is pretty important for a good squat
and what was my entire post about?
as for the other part, fine. you can have the last word. I still don't buy the knee travel meme, and most likely never will.
>>36805622
'no'
"knee travel is bad" is a queue used by coaches to get beginners to properly use their posterior chain as opposed to just leg pressing
it's much easier to say "don't let knees travel over toes" than to explain biomechanics, the lever arms between bar and knee/ between bar and hips etc
>>36805355
Thanks a bunch Norsie
>>36805658
>'no'
But everything I said is a fact
>>36805659
suggesting that the knees coming back is indicative of correct firing, this is basically what i was saying then
My whole point is that the knees are the least of his worries. he needs to feel the right spots in the squat, and his knees will adjust accordingly. They might come back alot, or heck, they might stay right where they are, but they'll adjust to fit the rest of the big picture.
This is what I was saying.
its easier than explaining things more in depth, but as a rule of thumb it leaves little bits of information occluded and that can fuck people when you just tell them to do something and not why
IME any ways
>>36805662
no problem bud.
>>36805671
see >>36805654
though me and CWS are on the same page right now, doing WL and other fun stuff : ^)
>>36805658
>and what was my entire post about?
i never disagreed with the rest of your post, he'd just learn faster by just cueing a bit less knee travel because its literally not hard
>>36805701
>can fuck people when you just tell them to do something and not why
Absolutely. Whenever a friend of mine asks me to show them what's what when it comes to training, I make it a condition that they have to sit through whatever explaining I want to do and I refuse to simply tell them what to do and they follow orders without knowing why. This applies to technique, programming, mobility, whatever.
>>36805701
>WL
>"fun"
WL is even harder to git gud at tho
>>36805094
Please respond
>>36805722
this can actually be very counter productive
>>36805735
I'm not gonna spoon feed you.
Just think: what is(are) the function(s) of the shoulder? Which of these are used in the bench press, at which phases of the movement? Should lead you to the answer.
