no, liks drop dead now
Passed out in the gym today, lads.
Just finished OHPing and wanted to squat, noticed there was no bar in the rack, so I powercleaned the bar I OHP'd with (with 1pl8 loaded) and started walking towards the rack (which was 2-3 meters away). I guess I was holding my breath the entire time. Barely put the bar in the rack and then passed out. Then woke up to a guy shaking me and checking to see if I'm okay. Told me I hit my head pretty hard and narrowly missed another bar which was on the floor. Took a breather for a few minutes and rested and decided to call it a day.
It all fucking happened so fast and now I'm really fucking nervous what if it happens while benching on Tuesday?

drop dead as in take a nap because oh boy I'm so tired from all this successfull lifting that's giving me so many gains... Train hard and rest hard am I right?
>>37517336
I'm wishing Lith get cancer but this is fucking horrible
>>37517164
5/3/1 isn't a solid tested program?
>>37517161
you should definitely not post if you're isley
>tfw done with first year of master's
Doesn't feel as good as I was hoping for tbH. Most likely because I fucked up on today's retake exam.
Random knee pain doesn't help either.
>>37517355
5/3/1 is fucking trash and Wendler is almost as trash as Lith

Virtus, are you not strong enough to make the Italian team for IPF worlds?
>>37517384
Your feet kinda slide around when squatting. Maybe you should get a pair of these bad boys.
>>37517360
>everybody either says it's the best program ever or that it's total garbage
ok...
I'm reading a book right now with 3 levels of novice programs followed by three levels of intermediate programs, along with an advancement cycle. after i do some 1rms on the 18th, i might try their novice programs, start on the first and then the second
>>37517495
I've ran 5/3/1 and P2W novice program and hated them both
Why won't you run gregs? Everyone who's running it has been making progression
>>37517437
Can't remember, sorry.
>>37517453
I should actually be quite competitive in the junior classic division, the problem is that italy hasn't gone to classic worlds yet, only eq worlds
>>37517507
which program of his should i look at?
>>37517523
Read the PDF that comes with it
It's your choice. Read them all. Do what looks fun to you.
>>37517495
>everybody either says it's the best program ever or that it's total garbage
Probably just depends on their own experiences with it. I'm doing 5/3/1 for my bench and squat and it's working extremely well. I'm a fan of the consistent gains.
>>37517531
Oh but I thought you supplied fake information

It's unlikely he'll see 90
Also Italians are famously bad at fighting. Muh ww2

I'm also t1 so even though what's u said is true it always makes me sad to hear it. :(
>>37517737
What's your life expectancy? Perhaps you could do some risky shit like train surfing or climbing giant buildings
5/3/1 sucks for powerlifting and you shouldn't take advice from someone who has a sub 4pl8 deadlift.
http://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph575460edacb01
Came buckets
>>37517523
Start with the 3x beginner programs for bench and squat and 1-2x deadlift.
>>37517783
>5/3/1 sucks for powerlifting and you shouldn't take advice from someone who has a sub 4pl8 deadlift.
5/3/1 does not suck. People who can't handle slow and steady progress suck and then they program hop cus
>I ran 5/3/1 and only added 15 lbs to my bench

Meanwhile I'm here on year two of Wendler's program having a goddamned blast.
>>37517725
>It's unlikely he'll see 90
With current tech and understanding, sure, but are you suggesting we won't figure shit out in seventy years?
>>37517865
pls post more about your experience with 5/3/1
>>37517865
Anecdotes anecdotes anecdotes
Reasons why 5/3/1 sucks for powerlifting
>low frequency, less form practise
>Low specificity, even less so if you don't do BBB
>slow progression
If you're capable of weekly progress than choosing to progress monthly is not a smart move if you're a competitive lifter.
You add such low numbers over s great period of time. How can a competitive power lifter justify this?
Cut is going well lads.
Down like 6 pounds
Any squat tips? I know I go way too deep, I have trouble figuring out when I've just hit depth.
>>37517952
Happy for you breh
>>37517952
Leave this place
It's been invested with summer
Please take me with you
>>37517927
I've pretty much added 25 lbs to my total per month as long as I've been recomping or gaining weight, and then I would say every two months when cutting. I do the good ol basic 5/3/1 (no joker sets, etc.) and did the BBB program for a year straight before moving onto some more powerlifting specific accessories. I finally dropped OHP after I stopped enjoying it, and instead now do Frontsquats and Closegrip Bench on Mondays. I typically take all deload weeks.
Is my total great? No. Am I even in the top ten strongest /plg/ posters? No. But I enjoy my training every day and in two years of four day a week training have never once felt "burnt out".
>>37517941
The person progressing weekly would stall out anyway.
Its not like you can just write "okay ill progress 5lbs per week" and just do it forever.
Monthly is more sustainable for long periods of time.
>>37517865
>Defending the shittiest program, with the slowest progression
Progress is progress, but you're progressing sub-optimally with 5/3/1.
>>37517941
>capable of weekly progress
>competitive powerlifter
Those two things are mutually exclusive of one another, making your point moot.
>>37517952
Fuckin eh lad keep it up. Gonna be ShreddedJoe before you know it.
>>37517963
Figure out your depth and everything else will fall into place.
>>37517972
>It's not even summer yet.
>>37517976
So you're happy that you can just sail through your training mindlessly and make slow as balls progression?
This is my hell
Every session is worth putting in 100%. If you just mindlessly sail through training you'll never be in the top 10, let alone the top 10,000
>>37517952
Nice job NotWorthlessBro.
>>37517963
Honestly I don't think going too deep is a problem. It's good to get the rebound out of the bottom, and since the sticking point is just above parallel (in my experience) it doesn't seem to make it harder going lower.
Take my advice with a grain of salt though, because you know how shit my squat form is.
>>37517963
Sumo help would be appreciated as well
>>37517324
Just ask someone if they can spot you when they're in between sets.
I'm not a doctor or anything, but maybe you should get more electrolytes during or before your workout?
>>37518003
>>37517976
You're making 5/3/1 kinda attractive to me.
But with the current state of my body im not up for pl lifting atm. Joints are constantly in pain and body just feels awful.
Work is destroying me.
If i land this interview Tuesday hopefully my body will recover and i can get back to lifting right.
>>37517999
If we apply that logic we may as well play it safe and progression every 6 months? Too fast? How about every year?
Yes yes. I know you bench 60kg but eventually one day you won't be able to progress week to week so I guess WE BETTER NOT DO IT WHILE YOU CAN
Fuck off genetic dead end
>>37518003
Local meets are a thing retard
Also this is an "Argument from" logical fallacy
No real rebuttal? Why incite an argument if you can't refute claims?
>>37517963
is this low bar or high bar ? nothing wrong with your squat but you don't have to go so deep with low bar that's all
>>37518005
>Every session is worth putting in 100%
Do you rep max? Cause I do. Every single session I push my body to it's absolute limit.
Do you honestly think that "enjoying training" and "easy training" are mutually inclusive?
You have some pretty wild ideas about 5/3/1, especially considering you;ve never ran it. You read one Powerlifting to win article and thought the difference between a good total was a program and not
TRYING HARD
>>37518037
why are you so angry and stupid ?
>>37518033
Just fucking quit
You're a worthless dead end who is out squatted and deadlifted by Fucking DINO of all fucking people
>>37518033
I'm having a blast on it. My lifts have gone down, but I don't feel like crap. I even have a fuckton of accessories and I feel pretty good.
>>37518038
Low bar. High bar is too uncomfortable for me to even bother with. I'd rather do front squats instead of high bar
>>37518029
>Hexplates
REEEEE NEVER COME BACK
>>37518033
That's probably one of the reasons I need 5/3/1 honestly: I work manual farm labour most days, so having the self regulation of rep maxing helps me train even on days when I've already had my ass kicked once. Good luck becoming an oinker.
>>37518059
I had a trigger warning last thread lel. I didn't have much of a choice, I didn't have time to go to my university's gym.
>>37518003
>capable of weekly progress
>competitive powerlifter
>Those two things are mutually exclusive of one another, making your point moot.
Unless you're defining competitive as "good" and not literally just someone who competes in powerlifting this is one of the dumber things I've read.
>>37518058
why high bar uncomfortable ?
well nothing wrong with your squat desu although it looks more of a high bar than low bar desu so you may look at that
>>37518039
>never ran it
Your whole argument is based of these wrong assumptions
You literally put in no fucking effort because you're a barely intermediate lifter who adds 15lbs to his total a month. I put that on my total a week and I'm an intermediate lifter lmao
I actually fucking try
You think lifting is a hobby?
It's my life
My passion
I leave the gym covered in blood and sweat
>>37518073
Oh fuck off you dipshit, stop trying to sound hardcore here
>>37518083
>>37518051
Hello summer
>>37518037
>Local meets are a thing retard
What backcountry shithole do you live in that novice lifters (weekly progression) are "competitive"?
I should also make note that 5/3/1 has a mechanism for faster progression in its rep maxing. Should you, for example, bang out Five reps on your 1+ day, it is recommended to recalculate your 1rm and thus bring up your training maxes more than the normal progression rate.

Life expectancy for t1s is like 7 years below the median.
However I have some good things going for me which will probably improve it tBH
>>37518070
Ah, yeah, I can see how that could be confusing. I was using competive colloquially as "someone who has a shot at podium".
>>37518073
Man, Sean, I will give you one thing: you always know how to make me chuckle.
>>37518071
The rack position just doesn't feel comfortable in the slightest. I know it's more of a high bar squat, but it eliminates a lot of my forward lean and issues from using a Rippe style squat.
>>37518101
I was exaggerating a little. It also has to do with the fact that I massively changed my squat form. I don't think this is too many, do you?

This isn't a counter argument
This statement is entirely false. Do you have any powerlifting experience what so ever?
You've also failed to address a single other point but instead put up a straw man argument which you're debating against, and not one of my points.

This isn't strictly true.
I feel like most people here were those coach potatoes bunch.

Now I just sit at home and lift weights instead of vidya
>>37518142

I'm active and (I know you can't say this on 4chan without being attacked by someone) reasonably educated / intelligent so I'm not super worried about it
Thanks friends
>>37518140
>"The biggest problem I’ve seen with this is people doing way too much. They do too many sets,
or too many exercises. These lifts should compliment the training, not detract from it. People
choose exercises for every body part, train them excessively, then wonder why they’re
overtrained and not making any progress. When you’re choosing your assistance exercises, do
yourself a favor and justify why you’re doing them. Don’t bullshit yourself. You must have a very
strong reason for doing an exercise. If you don’t, scrap it and move on. Sometimes, instead of
what you do in the weight room, it’s what you don’t do that will lead to success."

5/3/1 destroyed
Captain shitstain destroyed
>>37518039
All things considered, i am not ready to do 5/3/1 or any monthly progression program.
next week i do 1rm tests, for fun, then i will cut down to 75kg and try and keep my gains. should i keep running my current program and just not increase weight during the time it takes me? or maybe that would be a good time to try out the 5/3/1 3 month challenge?
After i get down to 75kg, i'll lower my weights by 20% and start the P2W novice program 1 and a controlled bulk. once i pass phase 3 i'll do 1rm tests again, then start the advanced novice routine as long as i've made some decent 1rm gains.
I also need to do more mobility and cardio work

what would your advice be, and what are your credentials?
>>37518193
>75 kg
Nigga how tall are you
>>37518172
Lmao, none of the accessories, besides the 3x5 rows, weighted chins, and paused variants are particularly taxing.
>>37518181
I do have justification for them, although I have already dropped front raises since they weren't necessary. Lateral raises might go next, because they're less justifiable.
>>37518208
I'm not giving free advice. You need to sign in a contract where you'd agree to everything I tell you to do without question.

Wew lads.
Almost failed my ID Bbench set of 2x3.
Does this mean I should switch to 3x2?
And then 5 x 1 ?
Or should I try to just hammer volume on VD.
Or both
>>37518568
Switch to 3x2, but keep the same weight and weekly increments. Don't just jump to your 2RM.
And eat more kek
Also work on improving your bench setup and your bar path.
Question about 5/3/1
I know you are supposed to go five cycles forward and two to three cycles back everytime. I've gone five forward and three back, then I've gone five forward from then, so now I am two forward of my orginal starting five forward.
Do I go five forward of where I went back from or just five forward from the three back?
Havent been to the gym since monday cause of a sprained ankle.
Its 90% better now so I should be fine. My question is if I might as well test 1RM since I havent in quite a while and the extra rest is gonna have me
>Peakin
And Im on a LP anyway, so its not like Im fucking up any sort of periodization. Thoughts?
What should I do after 1RM tests as well to up the volume for growth?

In for Gnuckols.
Finished my first cycle yesterday:
Bw -2.5kg
Squat -7.5kg but I changed bar position and form is definetly nicer
Bench +5kg ,literally made more gains in 4 weeks than with 2 cycles of C6W
Deadlift +7,5kg
I'm gonna start another cycle on a bulk with added isolation for upper body since my recovery was on point even on a cut.

Sounds good. My ass came off the bench for the third rep of the second set so I kinda wanna consider thata miss.

Already about 15 or so lbs overweight at 6'1 237 so I'm losing that weight.
>work on improving setup and bar path
this will take awhile but I am actively working on it.
e.g. that bridge / arch exercise isley does.
my bar path is actually a lot better on heavy weights than it is on lighter weights.

Bruh I have been in a similar phase to you where I made year-long training cycles and wanted to see muh abs and shit and had no idea what I was doing. Pick one goal (it should be 'get bigger and stronger' btw) and work on that. Don't actively cut, just eat more chicken and vegetables instead of bacon and candy. If you are actually capable of pushing yourself, 5/3/1 has worked for plenty of people, but just pick one sustainable program and stick to it for at least six months.
Simpler is better, hard work and good diet count the most.

Have you lifted today?
I did some moderate paused singles in squat and bench, then went on a hike.
Today is a beautiful day.
>>37519606
No I'm lifting later because morning workouts are for cucks

I disagree about the whole cuck thing.
What is your workout today?
Can I see some body pics of you guys? I was wondering whether a powerlifter is Bearmode or Shredded. Thank you :3

Depends what weight class you're in.
hey guys,a question about greg cuckols programs,for how much time i should ran them? like the 3x bench 3x squat and 1x deadlift ?
>>37519643
Bruh at no point was your back straight. Brace your abs (think about pulling them down) hard as fuck and maybe work on your hip mobility. Bracing is key though.
>>37519643
b-bait?
>>37519666
As long as they work?
>>37519660
Sounds fun. What are your working weighs today?
>>37519681
How do I work on hip mobility?
>>37519708
Unfortunately it's not my deadlift is that shit
>>37519729
Oh man then just fix your setup and you'll be strong as fuck
>>37519640
Trip on, tranny
>>37519729
Stretch out your hip flexors and hams for starters
>>37519739
Been struggling with setup for months now read rippletits book about dl andy Bolton ed coan vids.
Honestly just don't get why I'm so fucking stupid when it comes to dl thinking of spending some cash and going to a coach

Thoughts on doing this simple DUP template from a Nucks article? He suggests just doing LP on each of the days. I'd probably change the 5x5 didlift to RDL.
>>37519835
That's irrelevant to his athletic abilities, unlike his thick, aesthetic, muscular midget body two weeks out from Worlds.
>when he wins looking shredded as bear
Haack never stood a chance
>>37519819
Jesus, everything about Gibbs is fantastic except his height.
Those squats too, going up like butter. Can't wait to see him smash haack
Should I keep doing 3X8 highbar or should switch to 5X5 front squats?
pls respond. Don't give me reasons or facts just opinions.
>>37519819
Are we going to do a livestream/chat thing for Worlds again? Are you guys going to ban me for not liking Dr Norton again?
>>37519643
Start with your hips lower faggot
Learn to use your lats
>>37519880
Tbh I liked the one with variants better. High bar/paused/low bar, bench/CGBP/chains, for example. Variation is good when you're nowhere near a meet.
>>37519938
High rep high bar = GOAT of all time
>>37519938
3x3 low bar. Any more volume and the set has 0 strength effect
>>37519907
>except his height
That's the best part
>>37519992
Hmm, do you think lots of variation is valuable for a newbie? I'm sort of in between novice progression and intermediate. I can't add weight each workout (using the same rep scheme each time) but I've been doing well on the G Nucks beginner bench which is DUP-like. Maybe I'll just do his 3x/week beginner squat, but I'm worried I'll plateau quickly. I've got a 132.5kg 1RM at 74kg bw.
>>37520055
>I've got a 132.5kg 1RM at 74kg bw.
Oh that's for squat btw
>>37520028
Good meme
>>37520002
Yeah but it's not fun
>>37520055
I think trying to improve different variations in different rep ranges would serve you well.
>>37520073
Name any other lift that's remotely fun for reps.
>>37519893
Natty balls tho
>>37519907
Fun fact: We're the same height.
>>37519938
3x3 5s paused highbar followed by 2x5 front squats
>>37520117

>>37520137

no
I might mix them up though.
2X5 front squats, then 2X8 highbar
>>37520170
>high rep bench
noooOOOOOO
>>37520137
>shorter than the average height for women
Will Gibbs ever recover?
Nn /fatgeneral/
>>37520185
High rep bench sets are possibly the most fun thing to do in training next to overload bench.
Squatting is only fun in the 1-3 rep range.
Deadlifts are never fun.
>tfw gf throws a tantrum out of nowhere about nothing
>everything was fine seconds ago
>now super pissy and goes on explaining how I did this and that (minor things that I couldn't even think of) the past days
>it's basically literally nothing else than that I sometimes had my phone out kek
Am I an asshole for not giving in and apologizing for something I don't even remotely feel sorry for in these situations?
It would probably defuse the situation, but I literally dont understand how the things she mentions are even notable.
>>37520217
Seconding high rep bench. I love high rep bench.
>>37520243
Insincere apologies are the worst. For you, for her, for everything.
>>37520137
You weren't meming when you said that before
>ywn have the qt 5'3 manlet Gibbs as your workout buddy
>>37520243
If you did nothing wrong don't apologize. Don't become her bitch.
I know this is a really stupid question, but does it matter much if I workout at the same time everyday or not? I've been benching T/R/Sat at like 7 pm, with Sat being my AMRAP set. If I wanted to go today at 2 instead since I was gonna go hang out with people later, would that be okay or is that bad since I wouldn't have had ~48 hours to recover?
>>37520273
This desu. You don't owe her shit if you did nothing wrong and she went off on you out of nowhere.
>>37520304
You might notice a slight strength difference from deviating from normal, but it shouldn't have a huge impact. Not in my experience, anyway.
>>37520304
I have heard it's best to wrok out 5-8 hours after you awake
>>37520272
>>37520273
Its so weird, these girls.
Literally out of nowhere something happens and she goes ape shit with ridiculous things.
I don't get it.
It's like she says that she is unhappy because you blinked once too often yesterday, lel.
>>37520304
That is unlikely to be an issue. The most important part of recovery and adaptation occurs during your sleep.
If you've already slept then you'll be fine.
Assuming this webm was 4 months ago, and I've put on 4lbs of PURE, LEAN MASS since then, what's my expected 1rm on deadlift now? 390lbs? Maybe 400?
(I don't like to 1rm often as it's unhealthy and can lead to form degradation)
>>37520345
Exactly three
>>37520304
I think it's helpful because routine makes things easier, but if it's one day then whatever.
>>37520345
>4lbs
>in 4 months
somebody wasn't eating big
>>37520352

>>37520352

>>37520326
>>37520344
Okay, that makes me feel better. I'll let you know how it goes. I hit 170x9 last week, so going for 175 AMRAP today!
>>37520345
>this person is actually not twelve years old
Also Lith, read this
>(I don't like to 1rm often as it's unhealthy and can lead to form degradation)
>>37520365
That's probably how my bulk is gonna go after I finish my cut desu. No point in bulking too fast.
>>37520371
Smesh it lad

Whoops, misread. 8 lbs in 4 months should be fine lel

Yeah 8 lbs sounds a tad better lmao, 1 pound a month is pretty low imo.
What's your end-weight goal? 83kg?

Wow, now that I'm doing somewhat heavy DB bench I'm realizing how much worse my right side is. This is ridiculous. How do I fix that? DB bench more?
why does phil never post anymore
miss the old banter desu
>>37519753
You need to get lower with your hips. Try a top down bracing sequence.
Brace before bending over, and dont round your back reaching for the bar
Why are people trying to merge /owg/ and /plg/? boardshorts said that most of them can't front squat 2pl8s.
>>37521139
It's ironic how the strongest owg lifter is a 15 years old incestious Slav and no other person can out lift him in OWG
>>37521155
That's not really what irony is, Alanis, but whatever.
>>37521155
I am not INCESTUOUS and am NOT a SLAV
I am 1/4 polish and 3/4 GERMAN
AND both juan and deliugee are stronger than me
>>37520719
175-180, depending on how I look lel
>>37521196
>im not a Slav
>I'm polish and German
Oooook
>>37520345
I think it depends if your 5RM, 3RM, or 2RM has gone up. trappy-chan would be the textbook authority on if there are studies showing a positive functional relationship between cross sectional muscle area and strength.

Opinions on upper lower TM? Focus on sqwat, binch, diddly with few accessories (like chins). One intensity lift followed by one volume lift per workout.
Did/does anyone do a 4daw TM split? If not, what do you do?
>>37521433
>One intensity lift followed by one volume lift per workout.
no m8.
>>37521433
I'm doing this 4 day TM currently and it's working well
The best way to do and upper/lower TM is to just turn it into a six-day split i.e. Monday- squat VD, tues- bench VD wed- squat RD, thurs- bench RD, fri- squat ID, sat- bench ID
>>37521433
I've done it for a while and got good results. But now I do sheiko
>>37521503
Please elaborate why not.
I got the idea from 531 btw.
>>37521567
It's not really TM at all then. TM is a good three (or four) day DUP scheme that works well when it follows the stress (volume) recovery (...) adaptation (intensity/testing) model.
