First for friendship
why does literally everyone i try to teach to deadlift not even have the flexibility to get into a decent starting position
it's not that extreme of a position.
then i'm like "ok do these stretches" and they never do
damnit
>>37502382
Yeah I get you. Both my brother and girlfriend wanted me to teach them how to deadlift and I eventually just ask them to stop because they're both inflexible and unable to not round their lower back
>>37502382
How about those stretches tho, bro?
Day 4 without lifting
My schedule switched and now I'll be driving all over sd mn ia and ne for the next 3 weeks working more 12 hour shift plant startups.
In more towns without gyms, let alone enough time to actually lift. I still don't get to bring my on meals either, and don't get to choose where we eat lmao
Wew lads. I do love watching my arms and legs shrink by the day while watching my fat tire get worse
>>37502382
Is static stretching enough to increase mobility for deadlift?
Or is it better to get a foam roller and do active stretching instead/as well?
>>37502395
>unable to not round their lower back
Kelly Starrett says that this is hamstring mobility issues. Personally, I've seen people follow Rip's method to the T, after showing them how to tell if their lumbar is tight, squeezing their chest up hard, but their lumbar still rounds before they even pull.
>>37502434
>"The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race."
>>37502434
Start doing meme routines.
>>37502243
Improve bench arch?
>>37502438
I feel you'll get better results doing mobility work on a foam roller or a lacrosse ball than just "stretching."
>>37502434
Bodyweight fitness? I usually do it while I'm away from a gym.
It's not even close to what you'd get from a barbell, but it's something.
>>37502459
Yeah that's what I had. Eventually they'd get into the starting position but as soon as they pull (jerk) they lose all form of tightness. I actually have no clue how I learnt by myself without fucking my shit
>>37502395
Yeah exactly. All I want to do is teach my gym buddies how to deadlift and I've been asked to several times but I run into this issue literally every single time. I don't know how people like Rip seem to have success teaching complete newbies to the gym how to deadlift.
>>37502459
Yeah that's what I try too. If you can get their lumbar flat at any point even with the weight resting on the ground you're doing better than I've been able to... Sometimes they get close but like you say it disappears right away
>>37502493
>I actually have no clue how I learnt by myself without fucking my shit
it's very difficult to injure yourself with under 200kg
>>37502474
no you fucking pussy
>>37502528
I think you're lying. Isley's arch has always been non-existent.
Where's Rippetits?
You faggots should at least read SS before trying to coach people on how to deadlift.
Only Hawkings-mode don't have enough flexibility to deadlift. It's a position that doesn't require ANY of the muscles to be too stretched.
The issues the people are having is fixable by having a good coach who knows what he's doing.
>>37502543
>he doesn't know
Lad...
I agree with this guy desu
>>37502464
>>37502505
>>37502493
It's so weird that the setup feels the hardest to teach new people how to do, but it's the simplest lift with the least amount of steps.
>>37502512
Tell that to the bodybuilder at my gym who fucked himself up pulling 100kg
>>37502557
I know. It's especially weird bc the guy I was trying to teach today actually has a pretty nice squat to a good depth so I thought he'd be comfortable in that kind of position.
I know for me it took way longer to feel good about my squat form than deadlift, though maybe my deadlift form was atrocious and I just had no idea.
>doing sheiko 29-32 for bench
>midway through 31
>its feeling a bit too easy
>up my max by 25 pounds
>manage to complete the workout without much trouble
this totally means my max went up by 25 pounds right guys?
>>37502620
Or you've just been unconsciously sandbagging.
>>37502620
It means you finally started to try.
>>37502620
Yeah absolutely. In fact, since you finished it with no problems, you might as well up it by at least another 10lb. You should NEVER finish a workout without failing reps
would i be embarrassed at first meet. 160 lb 1055 total or should i just go
>>37502672
Go for it dude. Gotta start somewhere.
You probably won't place but who gives a shit
>>37502672
It's a great experience, there's much more camaraderie than competition.
A wilks over 300 isn't embarrassing at all.
>>37502725
>a wilks of over 300 isn't embarrassing at all
I've finally made it
>>37502713
>>37502725
thanks friends
>>37502672
Definitely go. The meet I went to was a small local one. I'm weak as shit and got 3rd out of 6 in my weight class. It was a ton of fun.
>>37502672
do it. literally nobody will give a shit
>>37502725
>A wilks over 300 isn't embarrassing at all.

>>37502736
300 wilks = you lift
350 wilks = you're strong
400 wilks = you made it!
>>37502766
So what's sergeys 600 wilks?
>>37502766
>>37502766
no, 300 wilks you're novice
400 you're as average as average gets
>>37502754
pretty basic no homo tho
>>37502243
Whenever the hell I bother-ly reminder that a standing press from a rack would be a better competition lift than the gimmick clusterfuck of bench press in every way.
And if you disagree you're an egolifting elastic babby
>>37502781
300 wilks is around the 1000lb mark for a medium weight lifter.
Far from novice
>>37502804
>medium weight lifter
1000lb is shit for a 275 or 308er though
>>37502777
>>37502781
There have only been a handful of lifters with wilks over 400 that have posted on fit. Usually they are well respected.
There are plenty of e-stat posters like you.
>>37502818
>tfw almost advanced
lol wut
>>37502543
I'm here. What's up bud?
I just calculated my wilks to 253. Can I hang with the cool kids or do I have to keep suckling dick in /cbt/
>>37502853
>253 wilks
gb2/fa/ and don't return until you're over 300
>>37502831
fuark this is good bait
>>37502848
Did you hit 10?
>>37502831
I would need a 1500 total to break a 400 wilks. Wew.
>>37502878
>>37502884
It's the truth, Bodoro and Lotus are two of the few trips that have such wilks and vids to back it up.
Even Isley hasn't got 400 wilks raw.
>>37502882
I failed miserably. Worst bench session of my life. Bully me all you like. Only 3 "good" reps
>>37502929
Only the top 13 are over 400.
http://powerliftinggeneral.com/?
>>37502929
Norse, rolan, virtus, granticus, wank, joff and danklifts all have 400+ you stupid twat
>>37502942
Wait a minute, is it me or do the second smallest plates have handles on them? If they do, then I made a huge mistake...
>>37502942
You have until the end of your current 531 training cycle to unfuck this situation or I'm going to assume command of your programming.

Seriously lads, if those second smallest plates have a handle on them, then I accidentally put 250 on there
>>37503015
Can't open webms on my phone so I can't check for ya.
Gz on liftin 250 for 3 though
>>37502987
I wouldn't mind that at all tbqh
>>37503032
I've done 250x3x5 though, but considering that it was a 35 lb jump after doing two triples and a warm up, it wasn't too terrible
>>37503043
Hey I remember you saying you were a couple of pounds away from being out of the 'obese' category. didja make it?
>>37503043
>bouncy castle
>>37503072
I dunno. I weigh myself on Sunday. I don't think so though, since I'm retaining a stupid amount of water weight for whatever reason. So, for BMI, not yet. For BF% though, I have been.
>>37503084
The only actual bounced rep was the last one, and it was from being misgrooved.
>>37503043
I'll help you when the time comes, on the condition that you stop whining about stupid shit.

RIP
>>37503138
I weigh myself every morning, but the official one is on Sunday morning, since its the exact same conditions at the exact same time, while the other days aren't as static for me.
>>37502804
>1000lb
>far from novice
lol
>>37503138
'no'
weighing yourself weekly, daily or hourly has zero (0) effect on the only important part of weight loss and gain, caloric intake.
>>37502831
>posted on fit
nice standards you have there
Who /hipthrust/ here?
>>37503138
If your consistent with it I don't see why its bad.
If I do it every Monday morning under the same conditions (post shit, fasted, naked, etc) the number on the scale will be pretty accurate relative to last week's weigh in.
>>37503242
Hey, look at >>37503015. I'm not a complete failure after all lel. Accidentally loaded the weights wrong. 250x3 after an improper warm up
>>37503253
It was Lith
>>37503253
we can see its fake as fuck and forced
just stop before it becomes cringy and you ruin your reputation
just continue with the real shithead, isley
>>37503242
>>37503272
Oh yeah obviously it won't affect your results but I find my weight spikes sometimes depending on how much I drink or what I eat.
Measuring once a week adds the possibility of you only seeing outliers

Haack has hip issues, seems like Gibbs has the squat in the bag. Plus look at that shred, two weeks out.

Gibbs is absolutely gonna win, he's such a beast
I just want to go back to the time I didn't think gibbs wasn't a douche

Why do you do this? You're fucking tripping and bragging with pics of your gf, you're the douche, and the chad. Gibbs is pretty reserved all things considered, and he's done a lot for the sport nonetheless.

Why doesn't everyone in here do sumo
It's literally an unfair advantage unless you're a SHW. It's so unfair they banned it in the competition of real men, strongman.

???
I train conventional
This is me in the webm
>>37503704
I hit 295x5 last Saturday and had to exert herculean effort to finish it. Just started doing TM and that was ID, and I wasn't used to PRing all bench, squat and deadlift on the same day and so only got 202.5x4 and 360x4.
Think I'm gonna take a very small deload to my 5RMs and work back up again since I'm already exhausted after the squats on ID. Also have been eating pretty shitty and have had very low appetite/libido the past few weeks so I may be eating too small/be to stressed to make proper progress, but I'll keep trying harder
Thanks friend

Anything wrong with taking a wider stance for squats and deadlifts? Deadlifting a mix between conventional and sumo.
>>37504058
i have put on nearly 20 kg in the last 2 years and i am still a twink
>>37504076
Nothing wrong. Just do whatever you feel comfortable with.
Don't attribute pain to stance width though, most likely something else.
>>37504076
If your legs are between your arms it's conventional if your arms are between your legs it's cheating apparently

>>37504456
You know Dan had a 300kg+ squat when he was still natty? You don't have to respect drugaroos but at least acknowledge that taking the doses they do probably isn't at all pleasant for them in their day to day life in terms of side effects and they are sacrificing for a sport they love, just like you and Bodorio etc. Like I don't really think they're all 'hurr durr easy gains I'm so jacked' when they'd probably actually prefer to be off.
>>37504590
It was was like 675 lbs with wraps, guys who are good lifters with roids were likely still reasonable lifters without them.
>>37504590
Steroids at that level must be horrendously unpleasant.
Bleh, that's really a major reason I came off. I'd never want to compete against someone that's willing to run fully a gram of test alone more than me. I have a better shot at being competitive in a tested fed. Also I don't want the deciding factor in win- lose to be who was willing to do more gear
https://www.youtube.com/user/greenanddan99/videos
>>37504626
That depends on the person, to an extent. Some guys are able to run ridiculous dosages with very little in the way of sides, others get into trouble on 250/wk of test.
>>37504634
DAN GREEN WAS STRONGER THAN ISLET KEK WILL EVER BE
>>37504665
Yeah too bad he's a beta faggot who got stuck in a marriage with a shitty nigress because of his niglet mixed race baby.
>>37504665
He's not natty in a single vid there though
(but yeah he is. True for a lot of idiots though)
>dont squat for forever because reasons
>try it again
>feels great
>squat again a few days later
>feels like shit again
Why does squatting feel like a completely different movement every single session?
Even with an identical setup.
>literally 7 sessions in a row feel like ass
>finally 1 feels all right
goddamn its nice when things turn around
>>37504671
I like dan green but I agree with this statement
Don't fuck crazy, people
>>37504626
Yeah, like I'm 90% sure guys like Shaw and Hall would really like to drop 50kg and live normal lives at some point, but they're obviously pushing their strength careers as far as their health can take it. Even memelords like Rich Piana clearly don't enjoy being that big, despite his dysmorphic obsession with size.
>>37504390
Haven't 2 different dudes beat his "records"?
>>37504714
Professional strongmen (most notably big Z, but others as well) are kind of the reverse of most athletes. They tend to shed a fair bit of weight in the offseason precisely because of how much being that size - and using the gear necessary to maintain it - can suck.
>>37504718
Thor is alot smaller when hes not prepping for wsm.
>>37504674
He's natty in the bottom four videos, he started taking gear in Nov '11. Just admit that DG is a cool strong guy Isley.
>>37504626
Do you have any lasting effects from the gear?
>>37504742
he was on like 250mg for a couple of months, he was basically a high test natty.
>>37504718
>>37504723
Yeah, intense. I read some interview about Eddie and he seemed basically desperate to win WSM because the toll on his health is too significant to maintain for much longer.
>>37504742
Apparently none, apart from giving plg ammo to dismiss any and all gains little A will ever make.
>>37504748
I've heard of some people go on test for a couple of months to get a 'boost'. Always wondered if you lose the strength/muscle gains after you stop
>>37504749
eddie doesn't really have a chance of winning, he can only do well in static strength events. All of the movement based ones shaw and thor are too good.
>>37504735
He's a weak willed cunt.
Physically strong? Sure.
But Sparkle walks all over his ass.
>>37504767
it jumped boardshorts from 5 ->6 plate dead lift so it definitely helped.
>>37504772
He's moving a lot better these days. Enough to beat Shaw? Not on most occasions but at least he's now close enough that it'll only take one off day for the fat brit to sneak past the fat American.
>>37504784
>tfw he kept his roid gains
>he will take those roid gains to an ipf affiliate once the two years have past
>>37504803
What's stopping him from joining one before the 2 year mark? Test isn't detectable for 2 years is it?
>>37504773
Easy to judge from the outside m8. Children change everything. Being a good husband and father is something to respect even if you are tied to someone batshit crazy.
>>37504800
The choice of events make alot of difference to how someone can go. But shaw is just the best all round, he may not be quite as fast as thor or quite as strong as eddie but he is great at everything.
>>37504814
just that fact that everyone here knows his two years haven't past and he would probably get snitched on if he did
but then again it would be his word against the internet people
he's a good guy?

My brother was just too fat to manage conventional 2bh.
Had a BEAUTIFUL natural sumo though, was almost jelly.
>>37504817
Good mental gymnastics.
Being a good father would be taking the kid and finding literally anyone else to raise him with. Instead of what currently happens, which is either them pawning him off onto Sparkle's druggy parents or occasionally Dan's rich parents.
What routines you guys running atm

I'm maxing bench tomorrow,program has me gone from 80kg max to estimated 85kg.
Squat went down 7,5kg but I also lost 3kg bw and moved the bar placing up because I always ended up goodmorning the weight a bit.
Deadlift went up 7,5kg.
Pretty happy about the program desu,especially if I end up getting 85kg bench.

Linear gains stopped long time ago,bench has always been shit tho.
I gained like 5kg after two C6W cycles and I even added volume on the second one.
>>37502243
thats a stupid stretch, you are supposed to maximize the upper back flexibility, not lower back.

No squats (just do what ever I want whenever I want because these go up even if I don't train them)

Lads how does this sound for deads on a Bulgarian type program: every for or five workouts do about ten reps in ramped triples, doubles, or singles. No squats on those days. Good, great, perfect?

Oh okay, it's the pendlay row.
I have a really shitty problem with not being able to set up a sumo with a flat lower back, that might fuck me up there.
But maybe i can do like a sumo stance or some stupid shit to avoid that

Wrote my own programming. Weekly undulating periodization, 5xper week.
>>37505837
My hamstrings literally fuck me over and eventually, when i get low enough to grab the bar, my hip gets pulled kind of forward, making me round between like L5 L4.
Actually had to switch to sumo because i didnt find a good solution to this that worked within months.
And the same shit takes places when setting up for pendlay rows.
>>37505827
Bend over and grab the bar, stick your ass back hard, then pop down into position by simultaneously spreading your knees/opening your hips and pulling your lays hard to keep the bar closer to you. Do not surrender your start position.

*lats, but I'm sure you could figure that out

Stretch hips
Not hamstrings
>>37502546
its the squat doesn't require significant flexibility - the deadlift needs a degree of hamstring flexibility. you initiate the deadlift in a similar position you would do a hamstring stretch.
>>37506012
>>37502546
You're both fucking stupid
Shut the fuck up
>>37505950
I fucked to there - I meant to write her I cannot set up conventional deadlift without lower back rounding.
Sumo works just fine, because ... well, I guess it avoids the hamstring issue.
>>37506035
You're stupid. Just fix your issues. Muslie imbalances and inflexibility are the reason people get inured.
>>37506035
Tbh I think the other guy was right about SS, the Rippetoe setup is quick, easy, and worked fine for me and my bros when we started strength training. But I mean if you've switched to sumo, fuck it.
>>37506011
Do I need the band for that upper pic stretch?
>>37506012
I am actually working in a full list of things coming the next weeks:
- glute work
- hamstring work
- core work
- stretches for quads / hips and hamstrings.
I have knee pain in the squat that have no apparent form reason, thus I have to stop for some time and adress muscle imbalances that I have (weak hams and glutes probably the most important ones) as well as awfully tight hips, quads and hamstrings.
Hopefully this will help, I don't know.
I can't do the couch stretch as it's simply too brutal and I can't even get into the proper start position.
Apart from what has already been posted, what would you suggest as stretch for the muscle groups I mentioned?
>>37506044
Yea, I think I finally realized it.
>>37506068
I didn't know muscle imbalances could mean so much.
I still don't believe they can make my knees hurt, but I will see.
>>37506068
Stop. You're targeting too much of the wrong shit.
Just fix your hip mobility and all your issues will be resolved.
Yes, buy a band.
Hip mobility > all
>>37506060
I tried it and even had ripp look at the resulting deadlift sets, he claimed they are "all fine".
Yet I could literally feel that my back wasn't fine at all, not during the set and not after. It was hurting like a bitch and it was also clearly visible why.
>>37506096
I can't even squat mate, I have nothing to do anyways.
I understand that hip is probably the most important one, and I will also use most of my time on it.
But my hamstrings have never been worked properly, nor have my glutes.
And I still need an answer to my occurring knee pain, which I hope is related to tight, surrounding muscles.
A tight hip won't make my knees hurt for no reason.
I've been squatting for 1-2 years and the tendon on the outside of my left leg just behind my knee pops out when I get to parallel. It hasn't caused me any issues/
Anyone have this?
love working out in an empty gym
>>37506116
See a doctor mate. Try foam rolling as well
>>37506116
Uhg stretching your hamstrings is just going to be counter intuitive. I guarantee you'll fuck it up, especially since you were asking if you need bands.
If you think singing a stretch for 30 seconds will help you then you're wrong.
Just fucking trust me, I've been through this shit already and all stretching hamstrings did was fuck my back over in the long run.
HIPS HIPS HIPS. So fucking important.
Knees a little different

Also do squat, because squatting makes you more mobile at doing the squat.
>>37506136
I don't have any knee pain in every day life though, it's just in the squatting motion pattern.
I got an MRI once and "nothing was abnormal".
But that doesn't help me, sadly.
>>37506153
Alright, alright.
What about quads though? And what is the shit that you have been through, what were you dealing with and did you fix it entirely?
>>37506170
Going through a buldging/ herniated disc in my lumbar spine
Fixed it purely with these 3 things >>37506011
Before I would stretch hamstrings and my mobility increased. TEMPORARILY. I kept doing it in the hopes it will get better. My hamstrings became sore and tight and locked up my lower back and surrounding musculature.
I kept trying and eventually everything slipped and fucked up because it was too tight.
There was no issue with my hamstrings turns out, it was all my hips.
I've still got the fucked dsic but squat, bench and deadlift pain free from those 3 rehab movements alone.
>>37506154
Deload and work on form? Not memeing here. If your knee hurts while squatting then either fix your issue or stop squatting.
>>37502877
>implying you're anything but a joke at below 350 wilks
>>37506217

Ftfy
>>37506199
I see, I see. Well, I guess I will go all out on hips and hamstring stretches out for the moment.
But I will strengthen them as well as my glutes, because I believe they are lacking.
>>37506203
They hurt at one pl8, heck they even start feeling bad at body weight squats.
My form was / is fine, my knees track toes, I don't have excessive knee travel and I don't have the weight on my toes.
I had numerous form checks on here and none ever saw anything.
I had one seession where I was really strong and absolutely pain free when I narrowed my stance and angled my feet less.
But then the next week the same set up randomly began feeling like shit again.
I wouldn't know what more to pay attention to regarding my knees than the things I mentioned above.
>>37503913
Damn, even your deadlift and bench is close to mine.
I'm currently at 130 kg/286 lb for 3x6 on squat.
I'll check up on you every now and then to keep track of your progress. I''ll race you to a 4 plate squat. You'll know who I am, my friend. Take it as an honor bet with no prize.
>>37506235
>I had numerous form checks on here and none ever saw anything.
/plg/ saying your squat was flawless? Hard to believe
Both racks are taken up by two people benching less than a plate.
Bully route or patient normie route?
>>37506229
>implying anything below 500 is noteworthy
>>37506320
>implying anyone weighing below 600lbs to break the formula is noteworthy
>>37506258
Probably not flawless, but there was nothing that would indicate knee-destroying.
>>37506390
So what's the plan?
>>37506400
Doing this
>>37506068
probably minus the hamstring shit and then see how squat goes after maybe 2 months.
I'll try doing deadlifts during that time, starting tonight.
>>37506460
Good luck, update us on how it goes.
Don't skip hamstrings though, they're important.
>>37506497
Stupid
You're such a fucking newfag
>>37506497
The other guy was arguing heavily against it though.
The stretching part that is, not the working them.
I'll definitely to leg curls, not sure about the stretches now though
>>37506562
His evidence is anecdotal. I.e not worth listening too
Who says to not stretch your hamstrings? Just see what works dude
