tfw advanced row is only good lift
>>37391098
tfw only advanced lift is my pull up
lifting for 4 months, feeling like a failure
>>37391310
That's about right. Slow and steady. Going too fast will fuck your shit up.
This is me
Lifting for 6 weeks now.
Finally some blue muscles.
>tfw feels good
>>37391441
Are you me?
295X4
205X3
395X3
S/b/d
Pendley row is my strongest at 205x5
>>37391587
Why are your shoulders green and his >>37391441 black?
>>37391646
I dont know, maybe he doesnt the press?
SL 5X5 CMONNNNN
Do I have weak spinal erectors because I did a lot of autofellatio when I was 14?
>>37391007
only started lifting seriously a couple weeks ago
>tfw started with a score of 19 about 9 months ago and I'm now 57
>>37391792
>only started lifting seriously a couple weeks ago
>intermediate upper body
Why do people lie on an anonymous forum?
>>37391007
Why is the pendlay row so overrated? Maybe my form is bad(I'm pretty sure it isn't). It says the average 1rm for my score is 80kg and I can rep 85kg for 5.
>>37391740
Did it make you gay?
>>37391800
Chest and Biceps are lacking, are you a girl?
>>37391007

Probably been lifting for a year now, with some muscle to begin with (like 55 kg bench 8x3 or something)
>>37391891
No one does pendlay rows correctly.
People on /fit/ do them because they're sponsored by SL5x5 and SS, but the rest of the world replaced them with normal rows and equivalents for very good reasons.
Pretty eveyone doing them doesn't touch their chest correctly with the bar (or doesn't at all, since it requires some hardcore flexibility).
They compress on their bottom vertebrae by arching downwards.
They lift with their arms and outer back instead of with their shoulderblades.
They bend their knees too much or too little.
They never lean at a 90° degree.
It's an exercise that requires more fucking spotting than benching 4pl8 to ensure that it's doing anything at all, while it does exactly the same thing as no-brainers like normal rows with accessories.
The reason why it goes up so fast for so many people is that they're lifting with their entire upper body a weight that they're supposed to be lifting with a very limited area of their inner upper back.
T-rex coming through.

>>37392514
You're a head in a jar?
>>37391983
OP here. Y my bench is also rly lacking. My vertical press is on the + side though
>>37392647
Yeah I don't press enough, I only do jerk and push press variations.

BW - 84kg
Squat - 90kg

*bench is down because shoulder injury*
*squat is down because my fault. shitty squatter*
>>37392956
Look up reddit's PPL split, might help
>>37393359
Nope. Do not do this. If you're gonna go the reddit route, start with their PHUL program first.
>>37393406

Does anyone know a similar website that compares your lifts to your bodyweight instead? This site makes it like nearly impossible to get past proficient/advanced as the bodyweight goes down

>Exceptional:
Lifters in this category have typically taken a consistent, structured approach to diet and strength training for the majority of their adult life and are competitive at the regional level. For many lifters, this level is near the maximum genetic potential without the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Strength score 100.
Gee, I wonder why...
>>37394240
sounds nice except for all that squatting m8
Lifting for around 5 and a half months
Any good?
>>37395633
what is expectable on a strenght program
>>37392514
Man tell me all about dat dere routine
Do I need to do eyebrow raises 3×8 or 5×5?
>>37395633
Depends on your length. If you are a manlet, it's okay, if you are a lanklet, it's good.
>>37391007
about 10 months in, not too sure about this. I'm definitely not intermediate.
My bench is absolute shit, something I've been trying to change recently. 1RP is only bodyweight
Really good at power cleans though, no idea why.
2 years of lifting, cant believe my bench press is considered my best lift since i only do close grip..
>>37392514
Bj 3x8
