First for dancing kelly
second for trappy is a man
Any thoughts on izzy narvaez and PTW? Some of his advice seems to be coming from an inexperienced lifter but he seems knowledgable beyond his training years. Also why's he dead?
2nd for Isley is a weasel
trappy is a beautiful girl
>>37781634
literally and biologically a man.

>>37781617
How much did you weigh here? Something close to this is what'd I'd like after my cut and you're around my height
>>37781660
How are you so weak? For spmeone who looks to be an average adult male, you seem to have made no progress. Whats your program like? How long have you been training?
>>37781660
How's the novice p2w program working for you?
>>37781671
See >>37781647
Literally 150 lbs. I was skelly as fuck and I only don't look really small since the picture is at an angle.
>>37781658
no show some respect
>>37781689
O shit, guess I'll just cut to around 185-190. Starting to feel like 80-90kg is too light for someone over 6'
Anyone can link me a copy of beyond 5/3/1?
>>37781714
I think it just depends on your body fat. I think I'm around 12-13% right now (don't really know), so for me to look really shredded I'd probably need to lose ~7 lbs down to 168. I think as long as you don't go above 15% bf it's pretty easy to cut back down to having abs.

>>37781956
>>37781957
Yeah I train both in the gym and in my homegym.
>>37781689
>How's the novice p2w program working for you?
ok, just getting back to my pre-deload numbers. the 3-6 range means on a bad day i can still work out and make some gains without risking failing sets.
the switch to paused bench has been tough, but i feel it's led to better muscle development and better tightness at the bottom
>tfw you pass people in the street that are too heavy for you to deadlift
>tfw you're still so weak that you measure your strength by which fatties you can lift
>>37781985
> I train
Do you fucking compete? What's your fed, class, age, weight, and best competition total???
>>37781988
>switching to paused bench
I really need to do this. Touch n go is such a bad habit but I can't take the hit to my total, not yet at least.
6'1
225 pounds
20%bf
315 pound bench
480 pound squat
500 pound deadlift
Should I move up in weight? I am already over to 220 weight class. Instead of dropping five pounds I was thinking of gaining about 15 and being in the high end of the 242 class
>>37781988
>>37782013
I switched to only doing paused bench 2 months ago. Every single rep is paused now, even AMRAP and sets of 8+.
My e1RM has gone from 200 to 228 in those 2 months, so I'd say it's working pretty well.
Also
2 8 F R E E P R O G R A M S
>>37782029
Those are decent numbers at 165 classic raw.
>>37781985
if i had a homegym id watch porn and jack off in between sets how do you control yourself
>>37782052
I've got an AMRAP set today, should I try paused?
>>37782066
He doesn't even lift you moron
>>37782067
If you're okay with being disappointed in your result. When I started pausing every rep my 1RM was like 20 lbs under my touch n go.
>>37782067
>should I try paused
Does anybody in this thread powerlift? Watching people lift weights on YouTube does not make you a powerlifter btw. You have to go to a meet and lift in front of judges.
>>37782093
Reeee
Maybe next time
>>37782052
are you doing 3x a week int bench?
i dont pause my amraps cuz i dont want to fail and im dogshit at high reps
>>37781793
thanks
>>37782060
>decent
At 165 those number are 74 pounds away from being elite. It's 99 pounds away from class 1 in the 242 class. Which is still really good.
"Decent" is 1000 pounds
>>37782110
Yeah, 3x int med bench. Just hit 180x8 on my AMRAP today.
You're going to think this a shitpost but it isn't.
Im reading trappies guide because I am going to pick an intermediate routine for my next bulk but in the back of my head im wondering why im taking advice from a Brazilian tranny...
Is there anywhere I could go to learn about this shit? I just mentally why would anybody take advice from a Brazilian tranny?
That's like your first program being Jason Blahas 5x5.
Idc if all you do is churn facts from months of lurking and shitposting...why would anybody take lifting advice from a Brazilian tranny?
Like im honestly not trying to be mean why the fuck would anybody do that?
>>37782123
>my first program was Blaha's 5x5... I was really aesthetic after 3 months of cutting on it.
>>37782029
>20% bf
I bet you could cut down to the 93 kg class and have pretty good numbers there.
>>37782123
>that's like your first program being Jason blahas 5x5
???
His program is solid. It's just SL but with pull ups, dips and curls to avoid looking like shit.
>>37782123
Why are you asking this here? This is a powerlifting thread. You're not a powerlifter.
Fuck off and don't come back.
>>37782120
Raw? In what fed faggot?
>>37781985
Fuck me, narrow sumo just looks so.... right.
Will someone here please be my friend
Managed to pull ~20 seconds of my run time for my mountain run today lads.
>>37782122
nice, what day are you on?
Just finished up W3D1 today and i had to tng everything besides the first reps of triples because I was scared of failing
some guy was completely overexaggerating how hard W3D1 was a couple weeks ago. it wasn't easy but not extremely difficult either
>>37782120
1300 total at 242 is pathetic. Lifting 5x bw is complete garbage, even in uspa or usapl or whatever.
>>37782176
ye whats up dude
>>37782189
Just finished week 1 on my 3rd cycle, so I guess I've been running it for 9 weeks now. I finished W3D1 both times before with pausing every rep. It's definitely the hardest day, but if you're getting stronger it's not impossible.
>>37782189
W3D1 was hard for me, I got the 4x3 but the 3x8 killed me.
>>37782153
>>37782199
No fuck off you're not even cute
>>37782176
I will
Youre asian right? I dont see many fellow asians on here

Damn dennison has some low standards. I should do a bitch ass cookie cutter uspa meet.
>>37782257
exactly
>>37782257
>>37782272
I guess everyone in this thread is a 1500+ raw drug free elite lifters
>>37782257
Can you imagine a guy who weighs 242 totaling 1000 beating anybody at a meet?
Naw nigga
>970 total here
>normies think I'm buff and strong :^)
>>37782294
I said 1000 was decent for the 165 class
1300 is decent at the 242 class
>>37782287
Why would you compete without drugs and gear? Might as well just lift baby weight in your moms basement by yourself.
>>37782302
I got called strong when I was squatting 2.5 plate :^)
>>37782317
At my old university rec gym I would get people saying "whoa" and staring when I would pull 3.5 pl8.
>>37782307
Because I want to be strong the real way.
Not depending on a shirt to do it for me.
>>37782302
I have bad news for you kid.
>>37782306
No. Sorry. Those are beginner, "I train in a 24 fitness" totals.
>>37782209
yeah every other day was pretty easy and I could solidly pause every rep but the difficulty just shoots up that day. I maybe could've paused the 3x8 if I took a nap between sets but I was running low on time
how are your gains on it? this is my first cycle and Im looking for 5 lbs/week
>>37782215
high rep stuff is hard
>>37782333
>news
>>37782333
No one who goes to a place with the word fitness in it has a 1300 total
I doubt most of this thread can even raw lift 1300
>>37782317
>>37782331
>>37782328
That's fine. You fuckers would get laughed off the platform at a real meet
>>37782340
5 lbs/week is unrealistic. My e1rm has gone from 200 to 228 in 9 weeks. I'm actually really happy with that too.
>>37782353
Chill out seanposter, if you would ever compete you would know that no one would ever bully at a meet regardless of total.
>>37782353
I got 3rd out of 6 in my weight class at my first local meet with a 885 total at 74 kg :^)
>>37782351
lmao
>>37782351
>tfw Haack lifts at madtown FITNESS
>>37782353
>implying 2.5 isn't a warmup for me now
Probably not anyway. I don't see powerlifters discouraging anyone except here, and even then it's outliers like the weasel
>>37782369
how well do you think I would fare in the sub 66kg weight class with an 800 total
>>37782368
A few people would.
They're usually the ones who train solo because no crew will put up with them.
>>37782368
I would bully a 242 that can't squat 500 all day.
>>37782369
Good job?
>>37782394
>bullying someone with a sub 2xBW squat
Jesus man, be nice to boardie. He can't handle that kind of stress on his back :^)
>>37782394
Don't bully boardshorts. He's a cool guy.
>>37782385
Idk, that's okay but not really competitive. The meet I did had laughable competition. Competing is fun even if you aren't that strong though, so I say do it.
But >66kg
Eat food please.

i'd need another 10 kilos on my total to break top 5 according to raw national junior results from last year. the goal is to compete in the 2017 raw nationals in the 105kg class and get top 2. With a placing like that I might get a chance to go to world's. fuark.
>>37782497
I'll try and record the warmup sets, cause I'm not sure I'll manage to PR considering how little sleep and food I've been having... but I can do at least 90-95% for sure.
still not sure how to get a good angle and camera position for recording it here in my room though, it's probably gonna look like shit.
hopefully I get a pr though, even if it's just 1kg kek

>>37783230
Thought you replied to something else. oopsies.
>>37783205
"Tweak"
People need to stop using that word.
It does look like we squat too deep and pulled a groin muscle. Oly lifts are dangerous.
I had a dream where I fucked Trappy. I'll leave 4chan, the memes seriously need to stop.
Front Squat tomorrow gents
>>37783333
w-wew how was she
Am I doing something wrong if I deadlift and the bar doesn't scrape my shins?
I've decided I want to do a hypertrophy based program to gain some muscle during my bulk, but I'm unfamiliar with hypertrophy programs as i've only followed strength programs. What would be a good program to follow? Any suggestions? I still want to do the main lifts so muscle memory doesn't fail me
REMINDER that candito thinks he's going to total 705kg at 74kg which is more than Josh Hancuck.
He won't. It's more than he did at 83 lmao
>>37783693
I will still put my trust in my boy
>>37783677
You basically do the same shit, but you push the sets/reps up and the percentages down.
>>37781638
Pretty much this. Some decent theoretical knowledge, limited experience.
>>37783693
245 (15kg below his all time comp pr at 83) + 150 (his 74kg bench only comp pr) + 310 (roughly 7.5kg below the 700lbs he seems confident he can pull) = 705.
I mean, it's a stretch, but don't be such a fookin cynic George. Be hype for his return.
>>37781638
He found out the hard way that progress ain't linear.
He's a smart guy, but just smart enough to say some really stupid things.
>>37781638
He said several times his lifetime goal is to become IPF world champion
He then realised he couldn't, ever. He realised that he isn't talented enough. For many people that is a breaking moment.
So he took up rock collecting
>>37783774
I wonder when that day will come for you weasel
Okay, eyeballs you.
>>37783774
you competed in IPF right? How far can the average person progress in the powerlifting world based solely on hard, smart training
>>37783774
>declare your goals
>hard working and talented enough to achieve them
>Seeger respects you
>declare your goals
>hard working but not talented enough to reach them
>Seeger shits on you
>>37783812
To just below 400 wilks, at which point they give up, become hamplanets and leave for where powerlifters go to die - equipped.
>>37783836
so people can just stop progressing? I find that to be kinda unrealistic. Can't smart training help break through plateaus?
>>37782156
Also it feels so damn right!
>>37783851
You can be as smart as you like, that just increases the limit. You're still going to hit one.
>>37783851
Well Rippletits started lifting seriously in his early twenties and he admits that he was a shit lifter not even average and these were his stats at 220
622 squat, 396 binch and 633 DL.
So presumably an average person can go bit higher and talent much more. He also regrets not going up to 242.
>>37783851
Yes, but sometimes you have no idea what's best for yourself, especially when you become an advanced lifter, such that you can't just train smart.
>>37783859
>>37783865
damn... guess I'll just have to train until I hit mine lol
>>37783851
you don't stop progressing, but progress becomes slower and slower and the inevitable injuries and life getting in the way will set you back so in sum you reach a plateau.
>>37783887
Pretty much. Most people rarely hit the true genetic limit, it's just life injuries and shit getting in the way.
I'm only an amateur powerlifter (mainly lift for muh strength) so no clue about this, but do powerlifters at world level get paid to train?
>>37783926
Only if they get sponsorships or otherwise learn how to monetise their lifting.
>>37783926
>>37783932
I think actually all of the world class juniors and seniors from Denmark do coaching on the side.
>>37783932
>>37783951
That's a shame powerlifting when enforced with correct rules (i.e none lolfeds judging depth) and conventional deadlifts is a really good barbell sport especially after the press was taken out of the Oly-lifting.
>>37783865
>>37783881
he was also on gear tBh
>>37783987
It was a 70's single ply and the bench was raw.
Or do you mean Steroids because can't see anything to indicate that not that it matters since greatest powerlifter Ed Coan was on the good stuff too.
>>37784011
Lascek has been pretty open about Rip being on for most of his career. Not too surprising - he was competing in a time before drug testing when a lot of gear was semi-legal.
>>37783836
And like how this is true for you too

You are right actually he pretty much says it here http://startingstrength.com/resources/forum/mark-rippetoe-q-and-a/19627-questions.html#post177727 Makes sense I suppose considering Bill Starr and few other of the old timers were closely related to the guys that introduced Dbol to the world.
Wonder how much he could've done without.
>>37784087
Whoops, was trip off posting
>>37784091
>Wonder how much he could've done without.
probably 80-90% of what he did which seems to be the typical effect of roids, so something like 500-550lbs squat.
How long did it take you to reach advanced stats, /plg/? I'm three years in and nearly left intermediate. Missing like 50kg on my total.
Realized that I've done some bullshit inbetween, muh hypertrophy programs and shit diet. :(
>>37784123
if you're basing this on one of those shitty strstd like calcs go away

>>37784123
Do you mean advanced as in on joke websites like strstd ? Because pretty sure unless really gifted you're not an advanced lifter at 3 years.

Hey Chris, I'll buy one of those low cuts if it's size 44
>>37784011
>since... Ed Coan was on the good stuff too.
Yeah he was
>greatest powerlifter
>needed steroids to be so
Yeah no. He's just the biggest drug cheat.
>>37784150
You have a date to pay for, think you can afford both, buddy?
>>37784140
Year and half from untrained, my Deadlift is only one that is off that by 10-15 kgs, but i'm a really bad deadlifter since barrel chested manlet and don't do sumo.
>>37784166
Bro even if you roided double his dosage you won't reach his level, you can cry all you want about steroids just as the US oly teams cry about it with the bulgarians but the truth of the matter is everyone at the level is doing the extra-curriculars.
>>37784150
Sorry, I gotta use it when I return to a normie accessible bodyweight after November
>>37784184
>but the truth of the matter is everyone at the level is doing the extra-curriculars.
nope
>>37784185
You're cutting? But 120 dreams...
You lied to me, twink.
First time lifting since browsing /fit. Usually stick to cardio like running, cycling or boxing. Recovering fatty at 86kg.
I managed to bench 1 plate (20kg) with an olympic bar. But the straight bar curl was pathetic - I only managed to put up 7.5kg on each side including the bar. Also, I do a lot of cycling and have huge legs, but I could only squat 1 plate in the smith machine. Squats are not a meme exercise - I can barely walk now.
Q to /fit - are my stats any good? Also, what is the consensus about the Smith Machine - it seemed like a meme to me.
>>37784193
I thought I could... but the gyno is too much
>>37784193
>nope
It's okay bro you be naive if you want, guess that's part of the junior mentality.
https://youtu.be/M-52g--ypjA?t=3m27s
what happened here, exactly
did he pass out for couple seconds?
>>37784212
Not a junior, and you're wrong.
You know, beleiving that "everyone is doing it" increases the chance of an athlete taking drugs? I bet you are. Most people justify it to themsevles that way "everyone else is using so I shall too".
>>37784225
Not world class powerlifter so the side effects of steroids are a deterrent for me, especially with high earning job.
I'm just not naive honestly, perhaps not everyone is doing them but it's definitely something that is done even in your favourite IPF.
>>37784254
Yes there are drug cheats in the ipf. They are a minority and they will be caught
>>37784254
"no"
>>37784254
Drug usage happens in the IPF (they publish ban lists, so this should surprise absolutely no-one). What people are contesting is the idea that absolutely everyone is using. Which simply isn't the case.
/fit/ takes it to extremes though. If you listened to this place you'd think no-one could total 1200 without a needle in their arse.
>>37783721
So could I actually just do week 1 and 2 of canditos 6wk program on repeat if i wanted to? Or would I hurt myself?
>>37784259
>They are a minority and they will be caught
Or they could win world records.
Starting some 28 free programs goodness tomorrow. Super excited after TSA intermediate. :3

The IPF isn't the olympics.
Plenty of people are natty, because they compete for fun and for their love for the sport - not for their country who needs to win olympic medals or because that's how they make a living.
>>37784266
>What people are contesting is the idea that absolutely everyone is using
To be fair, the everyone part in my original comment was a hyperbole, perhaps because i'm not invested in the sport to the same degree as Isley I just don't see a huge problem if some did drugs especially since shitloads of records in the past by strong as fuck men were set. (not just in powerlifting but barbell lifting as a whole and strongman)
>>37784288
>180kg team deadlift with a belt
>>37784302
The problem is, simply, that its cheating to use gear in a tested fed. Which is especially egregious in powerlifting because there's no fucking reward in it and a dozen untested feds if anyone wants to gear up.
Its like sneaking a bench shirt under your singlet. Nothing wrong with using that in a fed that allows it, but you're an arsehole if you have to break the rules to use it.
>>37784294
So you don't think power lifters are competitive enough and want that extra edge? Do you also think Oly champs get to that level because it's their job and otherwise Putin will shoot them and not a love of the sport?
Are you okay, did the test blockage impair your brain as well?
>>37784320
Not saying that. It's obvious that there are people on steroids in the IPF.
I was just saying it's not as common as in the olympics because most athletes do it for themselves and most do it for fun.
It's completely different from the olympics and weightlifting.
Just look at what happened to Klokov and Akkaev when they missed the 2012 olympics and Russia lost the medals they were pretty much guaranteed to win.
>>37784324
>>37784358
Good form, bad form
>>37784288
Cute desu
>>37784288
I redrew it
http://sketchtoy.com/67212482
>>37784439
Explain form on first lift, how do I into backward leg mobility?
>>37784324
How do people even get legs to cave during deadlifts?
>>37784453
Because they pull over push. Hip torque isn't engaged, spine isn't neutral and it feels like their shoulders are going to pop. Hence his face.
>>37784439
lol
On sheiks can I deadlift where I should squat and squat where I deadlift?
I want to deadlift more than once a week.
Time for an AMRAP bench set
Wish me luck lads
>>37784516
Hope you fail
>>37784516
Fuck my form messed up on rep 9 and I failed. Do i accept that or try again? I probably had 2-3 more in the tank
>>37784219
please respond
>>37784533
Try again, more gains even if you fail. Just remember to keep your core braced and your shoulders back and down. You can do it!
>>37784560
Only got 6 because I was too fatigued :/ ah well I'll just count it as 9 reps and bump my max up by 2.5kg like the program says
