I do, the only interference it will have is making your back stiff as fuck from sitting all day
make sure you get a good as chair in the office
and also roll the fuck out of your bac before squatting if complications do arise
but a good chair can fix the problem too, but 99% of them are shitl I got a custom made one and its boss, so i dont need to roll my erectors for 20 minutes before squatting now, before i had to or else my back would literally cramp up halfway through squats
>>37014825
this, and I actually find if your work will let you stretch once or twice throughout the day you are MUCH better off

Honestly, find a program that fits your schedule, dont push it to get 5 or 6 days a week in if you have to sacrifice sleep or food. Running yourself into the ground will kill your trainin more than only going 3 or 4 days a week.

I'm looking to graduate to a true powerlifting belt now that my squat has reached 425x2. My pic related crossfit meme belt is probably not the best to use at high weight. In college rn, so I'm looking at a $80-100 range, and something with a lever. Any recs? Thanks brehs
>>37014962
Try a 80-100 dollar lever belt
>>37014909
>t I'm intelligent
Let me translate that for you
> my wilks is the same as my IQ
>>37014962
Inzer single prong, 4" wide 13mm thick. Get black, it ships fastest. It will last you forever, and is ~$90 if you live in the US
If my max raw squat is 496 in competition, what kind of weights should I try using for practicing in gear? I just ordered a Superior suit and Titanium knee wraps and i'm not too sure how much carry over to expect. I squat fairly wide, so I imagine i'll have a decent amount of added weight when I figure out how to groove it. I was thinking of starting around 450 (90% of my raw max) and going from there.
If Dubs I finally give up on lifting forever
>>37015077
Yep I'd recommend around that. What I've found to work best is working up to 90% of your raw max using knee wraps and then using the suit straps down and then straps up later. That's also what other people have said to me to do.
Might want to get a couple of people to side spot you on your first go desu.
>>37015156
I lift in my garage alone, so unfortunately I don't have spotters other than my dog. I was planning on messing around with knee sleeves/straps down until I felt comfortable getting to depth with at least 80-85% and then moving onto straps down/wraps with 90ish% then eventually going full straps up with wraps as tight as I can get them solo and moving into supermaximal weights. I have a rack at least, so I probably won't die.
>>37014998
Thanks for the input, a couple of gym bros that compete recommended inzer. There's other options out there, so I was just checking /plg's opinions
>>37015262
Do not do not do not order from inzer.
If you get an inzer belt buy it from an independent retailer
>>37015214
Aye probably won't die if you have a rack.
I'm guessing your suit isn't incredibly tight?
>>37015313
Haven't received it yet, but it's a Titan Superior size 42. According to the size chart on liftinglarge, 42 is the medium fit for the 198 class and I weigh ~195. So it will probably be fairly loose as far as gear goes.
>>37015118
Rolling 4 u
>>37015340
Ah yep. I weight ~195 too and I use a worn in 38 super cent which I can get to depth with about 20kg over my raw max so yours should be loose enough for you to get to depth straps down without going supermaximal.
Is your suit wide stance or narrow stance?
>>37015118
roll
DELETE SQUATS FROM COMP
>>37015386
Don't think it as the option. Titan markets it as their "beginner" suit. I personally squat fairly wide though. Not Westside toes wider than the collars, but well past my shoulders.
>>37015421
Ah right. The common wisdom seems to be to stand a foot wider than your normal stance for eqp squats but that probably doesn't apply to you then.
Have you done much research into eqp squats? When does your suit arrive?
sabre meme program was ok guys
turns out my work capacity is pretty much zero though lel
>>37015452
Just shipped today. I've mostly just watched videos/read about how to get the suit on and self wrapping. I think programming wise i'm just going to do singles with as much gear/weight as I feel comfortable with every week and do the rest of my squatting raw until I figure it out.
>>37015513
You probably won't have to worry too much about getting the suit on lol, even I can get my suit on by myself in 10 minutes or so.
The old fellas around here suggest doing doubles for the first while in EQP if you can handle the time under tension, even triples if you can manage it. Just lets you get more practice with the movement and groove of the suit. Obviously there's the issue of depth as well lol which adds another angle to it. Sounds like a decent plan though.
Are you planning on using box squats at all?
>>37015262
>>37015311
I've had a couple friends order over phone and get their stuff a lot faster. Apparently, their online system takes like a week to process before anything else can happen.
>>37015506
I thought you were really good with trying harder though. Especially with all those C6W runs.
>>37014724
I did up until ten days ago. I would get to the gym at 5:30am, then leave by 7:15 and go to my 8-to-5.

But really, though. We fucked for two hours straight. She has way more stamina than I expected.
>>37015576
I'd have to make boxes. I was just gonna video each rep and then look at how deep i'm getting and keep adjusting until I can "feel" depth like with raw. My biggest fear is needing to put 600+ on the bar just to hit depth because I don't want to ISLEY it and need more weight than I can stand up with just to hit depth. But if it's as loose as you think it will be then that hopefully won't be a problem.
I was thinking about doubles with sleeves/straps down, but I don't think I want to do doubles in full gear.
>>37015577
>>37015602
well I did make it through alright.
just I haven't squatted anything over 370 for more than 3 reps in like 7 months or so and today he had me do 410 for 2 sets of 5 and I was doing a couple of things to make it harder on myself just because yolo. I gave sabre a wall of text on it, but it was ok. I tried hard enough.
My knees were getting sore and creaky, so I added some low impact work on squat day. Feels a lot better right now. How did I do?
squat 5x5 395
rdl 3x10 225 (went to higher volume, less weight)
erg rower 1000m (added this)
reverse-hypers 3x10 50 (added this)
ghr 3x10
>>37015590
>>37015637
Ab doms from sex can be the absolutely brutal. I've had it so bad it's made squatting, even with a belt, quite the ordeal. Bracing as a whole sucked and didn't work very well. It hurts so fucking bad lel
>>37015590
>tfw I got a qt azn gf but she is really afraid of getting bad grades and hardly ever wants to see me
Dang it bobby.
>>37015639
If you have extra plates you can just stack plates and use that as a box. Filming your reps is certainly a good idea tho, for me the feel of depth feels deep as heck. Kek na I don't think you're gonna isley it, well as long as you don't horribly miss groove it that is.
>I was thinking about doubles with sleeves/straps down, but I don't think I want to do doubles in full gear.
yeah you're probably right, I miss spoke. It's a heck of a lot easier to do 1+ reps with straps down than up from what I've experienced.
>>37015699
That's God punishing you for fucking everyone's wife.

>was full after only eating 800 calories today

Fucking kek, that was actually from the girl I lost my virginity to. She kind of dumped her boyfriend so she could fuck me, so you're half right. The other half was having sex for 90+ minutes everyday for almost a whole week
>>37015709
I only have 655 in plates + bar. From what i've read, after I learn how to use the suit/wraps I should be good for at least 600-630 in full gear with a 496 raw max. If that holds true, then I'll need to buy more weight soon.
>>37015762
get 10 more lbs
>>37015576
Why do you lol keep on randomly writing lol in your sentences lol for no lol reason lol
>>37015699
I just realized how long it's been, because I haven't had ab doms from sex since before I started lifting over two years ago...
Gotta make up for lost time.
>>37015709
>tfw I got a qt azn gf but she is really afraid of getting bad grades and hardly ever wants to see me
KEK
I was actually worried about this when she started talking to me, because she came to the states specifically to get her master's then go back to China, but she's been really forward about it.
>tfw I'm so retarded that I accidentally suggested Netflix and chill for the third date and she fucking ran with it
Thank god she's made up for my incompetence in dating.
>>37015743
I mean, I've had it with my most recent ex, but back then it was wayyy worse, mostly because I was doing all the work.
Who here /sexlessbutmysquatandsumoisntdogshitpathetic/ ?
>>37015788
you'd probably get laid if you learned to actually deadlift
>>37015788
I see how you didn't bring up bench friendo :^)
And my squat is truly shit tier. However, sumo is almost my best lift, if I can manage to shed my fatigue and actually show off my strength.
>>37015778
Because I laugh a lot when I talk irl and I type like I talk.
>>37015762
I wouldn't count your eggs so soon lad, it will likely take you many months to get even remotely good at eqp squatting. Though weights do take a while to arrive, so you're probably right to start thinking about ordering some more. A shame about the box situation, maybe you could ask a hands on place near you to weld a metal stool or the like.
>>37015781
>tfw I'm so retarded that I accidentally suggested Netflix and chill for the third date and she fucking ran with it
madman. Aye my gf came over specifically to get her degree but she's struggling a bit because her English isn't fantastic. Despite her acting a bit distant she is pleasant and loyal though.
Got another body fat test done in the gym, 3 months since my last one.
Even though i put on 2kg, my lean body mass went down. Being natty is a meme

Can confirm.
Shanghai gf actually asked to meet immediately after finding out I pulled 4pl8, because that's "over three times her bodyweight".

>she's struggling a bit because her English isn't fantastic. Despite her acting a bit distant she is pleasant and loyal though.
Similar to my experience. I think the not-so-great English is cute, though.
Benchy, you still around?
1.) First, I feel the need to address that you are just awful. Just AWFUL.
2.) Quit using bent-wrist grip. False grip with a flat wrist.
3.) Watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTphQ7FI7Jg
For the next 2-3 months, work SPECIFICALLY on this movement. Don't try and blend it all together until the end of the second month at least. 4 individual movements.
Hips back.
Descend.
HEE-UP DRAHVE
Hips forward.
And stick a box under your butt so you won't drop below parallel, get you used to proper depth.
>>37015899
Something could have changed, causing a massive variation. They aren't hard to trick desu. Stick to calipers, or hydrostatic weighing/dexa, if you can afford it.
>>37015905
>I think the not-so-great English is cute, though.

>>37015847
Yea, that's why I added the "when I git gud" part. I can make some boxes, but by the itme I got around to that I would have already have a decent feel for depth. I'll probably make some for box deadlifts at some point.

Woops, forgot words.
Your forward knee is fine, you have good ankle mobility.
Hip mobility might be lacking. I think if you have some WL shoesyou would be better off...
Center of gravity and posture is spot on.
You just need to go lower, faggot.

what about my spine, am I rounding at all? That's what I was really concerned with, I honestly felt like I could have easily squatted twice that weight, but I was experiencing some minor mid-back discomfort/pain, but it's nothing excruciating and it goes away almost immediately after the squat, is that just part of adjustment, or do I have a potential form problem?
>>37017997
your posture is fine like I said lad, if there was rounding it is so small that it doesnt matter

PLG comes and goes with its fads. Who knows what the next big thing will be?
>>37018380
>progress is not fun
>you need to be not making progress in order to have fun
i don't understand you people desu.
i work on the legal side of the financial industry. its basically 8-5 desk time for all intents and purposes. the only problem i really have with it is sitting for 8 hours. my hamstrings and ankles get really tight before squatting.
>>37018424
I'm surprised more people haven't burnt out or gotten injured running sheiko after sheiko after sheiko after sheiko after sheiko with zero down time in between
>>37018391
>don't take a weak and sporadic lifting days off
what
also
>gets gf
>loses gains
why are you surprised?
>>37018416
You know what you must do.
>>37018436
I just train for fun and happen to make progress. It's a pretty sweet gig. More people should try it.
>>37018442
A fair number of guys have.
I think there's something to be said for running Sheiko or similar as your inseason program with something broader as your offseason but I can't imagine running it year round.
But then, I'm the worlds most easily distracted lifter so who knows.
>>37018436
Cube is fine
Supermang got some p decent lifts and a good physique from running his super secret George Leeman exclusive programming which was really just Cube+accessories
>>37018436
progress on sheiko like routines is slow and is only really visible at the end of the cycle. this is necessary when you're a high level advanced lifter, but its unneccesary for most lifters.
when i was at chad wesley smith's seminar he said that when he squatted 800 lbs he considered himself an early intermediate lifter (though one with advanced talent). for most lifters the goal should just be getting bigger and stronger with the main lifts and intelligently selected variations and bodybuilding. insane specialization early in a lifter's career is counterproductive when you take the long view.
>>37018444
>bench feels weak. Don't take a week off then lift sporadically the following week
not really surprised, also not super motivated :(
>>37018462
>supermang
>good lifts
what? I outtotal him 2 weightclasses lighter with similar or shorter training age.
>>37018454
try harder?
>>37018459
Yeah no serious lifter runs sheiko constantly and they do have "offseason" training which is usually pretty bodybuilding intensive
It's all the kiddos who got memed who run sheiko continuously ad infinitum
Best way to rebuild strength after a long layoff?
I hit a 440 beltless squat back in December, stopped lifting, did too much cardio (physical labor job), and started drinking heavily. 365 feels like a fucking truck is on my back now...
Squat dropped 90 lbs, Front Squat dropped 60, Bench dropped 20, OHP dropped about 20, Deadlift about 20-30.
I'm doing 5x5 6 days a week now alternating HBBS, Trap Bar Deadlifts, Push Press with Front Squat, Sumo Deadlifts, Close Grip Bench Press for now...
>>37018479
I was just going to say more SSB squats, but trying harder works, too.
>>37018479
I'm literally catching up on all your lifts, and like, some random natty training a few years. I started with like what, 65kg of mass? Like. I muscle at all, and I look at you and where were you 4 years ago? 73kg? And where are you now? 74kg? Like, what have you been doing this whole time?
>>37018479
Supermang got a 6pl8 diddy 5pl8 skwet in d beg and a 3pl8 binch with a training age of 2 years
I think that's pretty good for someone coming from a previously sedentary existence and no sports background
>>37018512
This makes me miss the mong
He had real potential but he just up and quit for some reason
Maybe his mom finally made him get a job and move out
>>37018476
I basically just run an upper lower split with rpe 9 or so triple or single followed by a 5x5 on bench and squat twice a week with some easy deadlift variation on one lower and some doubles and a little volume if I feel good on the other.
All I feel I need I feel
>>37018517
literally none of those numbers are true.
he squatted like 180kg or something, benched 120.
he unironically totaled 550 @ like 89kg
>>37018512
kek progress has dried up friend :(
>>37018505
did an AMRAP after
>>37018530
Maybe he just got the hell out of this place. Not like he was ever gonna be taken seriously after his initial run.
>>37018476
>progress on sheiko like routines is slow and is only really visible at the end of the cycle. this is necessary when you're a high level advanced lifter, but its unneccesary for most lifters.
lol
>>37018476
noobs i've put on sheiko have literally added hundreds of lbs to their total in like 4 months.
not like complete noobs either. like 280 wilks to 380 wilks in 4-6 months.
>>37018540
He fucked up his weight cut hard
I think he could've performed a lot better if he hadn't goof'd hard by trying to put-Wilks Jizzley in his very first meet
>>37018543
No one here is taken seriously anyway
Bryce left cause he quit PL
Marcel left long before that
Haven't seen Virtus around in a while
Norsie is a complete mess as per the usual
We do have hotpiss tho and he's legit really strong
I'm literally adding 5kg a week by doing nothing
Week one, day 1:
Squat 3rm
Week one, day 2:
Squat 5rm
Week 2, day 1:
Max out squat
Week 2, day 2:
Attempt a 3RM 10kg higher
Week 3, day 1:
Squat new 5rm (10kg higher)
I've added 20kg to my squat as an intermediate doing this
No fucking joke. P
>>37018584
sounds like you've just got better at testing your max not actually getting stronger
>>37018592
I went from a 140kg max to a 160kg max by mistake.
I was only messing around and doing whatever i felt like for squats because I didn't want to progress them.
I agree it's made me more confident under maximal loads. What a jump though.
>>37018609
you probably got better rested too
Sometimes I go to hit a heavy triple after a few weeks of pretty tough training and struggle bad when I've smashed it in the past. Fatigue is a bitch.
>>37018502
Anyone? I want to switch to something with more volume for several months before tapering, but that's after I get my strength back.
>>37018624
most of your strength loss is probably technical and i'd suggest dropping some of the variations and doing the main comp lifts with more volume. will get you back to where you were quicker.
>>37018624
Maybe just drop weight a bit and see how long linear gains in something like 5x5 or 3x5 will take you?
I dunno though I'm not that strong myself
>>37018636
How do I increase my deadlift if it's 200,000mg below my squat?
>>37018636
Maybe, but my technique actually feels better now...as if I'm having to focus more just to move 80% of my old maxes...
>>37018639
Basically what I'm doing. Started at 225 5x5 squat and up to 265 5x5 now.
I'm sure a lot of it is due to lack of CNS adaptation. I'd do a Bulgarian method with something like work to daily max at RPE9, 3x3 at 80%, 5x5 at 70% or something like that if I felt it would work.
>>37018655
20000000mg* I meant
>>37018658
technique feeling better is one thing but just being acclimated to the movement and the weight is different.
>>37018655
switch to sumo. get longer arms. paused deadlifts. try harder.
>>37018668
Yeah. What exactly would you recommend then?
>>37018668
How do I lengthen my arms? They've gotten shorter since I started lifting.
At first my deadlift was around 25kg heavier, then over time they were about equal. Now my squat is 20kg more.
My arms shrunk please help
>>37016839
I'm right here bby.
>>37018673
idk just linear progression for a while with the big 3 lifts. SS-esque if you can manage it to get acclimated. after you get to the point where your numbers don't shoot up every sessions/every week (like they should), switch to some intermediate program like c6w or sheiko.
>>37018567
W-will I finally reach 400 if I'm bulking at 350 wilks?(
>>37014962
beast genetics lever is pre cheap, idk if its in the us
>>37015615
This is great
>>37018719
>bulking
>ever
Ha!
If people are skeerd of trying the Dietmars because they're old (one of Isley's reasons to not try them, tbqh), I just want to mention that the novice powerlifter program still in use today at the clubs.
>>37018512
Pointless post.
>>37018576
Virtus posted yesterday twelve hours ago.
Bryce hasn't quit PL at all
Norsie is a mess though. Why bother having his talent if you have his mindset?
>>37018790
Newfag
Whats a good program for someone who cant' always recover from fatigue very well?
Something rpe based?
>>37019327
..anything with proper periodization? Why do you think you have below average recovery?
>>37019334
sleep issues and work can reem me sometimes
>>37019352
bodyboreo somehow manages to be almost internationally competitive with pretty bad insomnia issues
git gud, no seriously don't choose based on "whats good for bad recovery"? just adjust based on your own recovery, and yes RPE based training would be good for this, but at the same time doing for example Project Momentum is pretty shit if your recovery isnt on par despite it being RPE
How do you pronounce sheiko?
>>37019366
I don't know how Phillip does it desu
Like I tried C6W for a while and it is fun but the intensity can kill me, some days I can crush the workout if I'm feeling good then the next week I struggle like fuck.
I was thinking of just seeing how I felt on the day with something heavyish then do some rep work based on that and keeping track of my progress to see if there is a general upwards trend.
>>37018773
Oh that is interesting.
Still, I'm not a novice. I like my mutilated sheiko
>>37019205
Whenever you make stupid comments like this just remember your personality doesn't shine through in a black and white comment
Who is Sean really? I know he's some guy who trolls here and fraud and supposedly lives in his mum's basement but did he have a trip/namefag or was he always Sean?
>>37019554
Sean is a well to do Canadian who actively participates in the betterment of the powerlifting community at large
You're thinking of asslad
>>37019419
Novice >"""""Powerlifter""""", not novice by the progression speed commonly used everywhere. It's a 12-week peaking program after all.
>>37019379
Sha'ik, and you ditch the O.
Alternatively use his full name, Sheiko Ben Redic Fy Fazan.
>>37019625
Get me a modern dietmar and I'll do it.
I'd rather do an ipf equipped coach than a Russian drug dealer but we simply don't have it
>>37019584
But errybody says Sean pls go
>>37019647
B-but I can't.
I know that he has a few volume block variants (two, very likely more I guess), but I know for a fact that the one on the website is still in use. That said, there was a guy in these threads who had another one that he felt worked better in terms of retaining strength and stuff.
I also know for a fact that at least week 7 and on of the novice program is still in use, tho it was slightly altered to fit the lifter who came off the volume block somewhere and started at week 7. Some of the heaviest reps were cut out.
I don't think we can get a modern Dietmar without being coached by him specifically. Closest you can get is hiring one of the Dietmar approved coaches (they have courses for that), or the ones on the website.
>pic related to tease
M8s I'm currently running SS. Should I keep going until I hit 1/2/3/4?
After SS should I go straight onto 5/3/1, or run TM and move onto 5/3/1 after that?
Please impart your wisdom
Best squat routine to do on -1000c cut?
Nuckols 3x week(amrap hell), TM or Nuckols 2x week(comfy) ?
>>37019554
Fuck off, sean
>>37019927
Yeah keep going. And then do Texas method.
Maybe followed by 5/3/1 depending on how tm goes. Preferably sheiko or rts though
>>37016691
>too busy for sex
not even getting a quickie to unload ? weird
>>37018163
Some people are just born with it desu. I'm 30 and I have one, but when I look at my pics when I was 12 my hairline looked the same.
>>37019939
Nuckols 2x week.
