Post progress, PR's, meet videos, lifts, or anything lifting related!

its just a funny picture
didnt you ever read The Wind in the Willows?
What are the basic guidelines regarding volume, intensity and frequency in powerlifting specific programming?
>>34986866
Emphasize volume in the 70+ intensity range with as moderate to high frequency, vary volume and intensity over time.
just decided on my programming for the next 3 months. wew lads.
>>34986986
After months of doing the power lifts once a week I have to do this today after a tiring week of squats, deadlifts, bench and rows.
Going to my first meet tonight to spectate!
Any things I should keep an eye out for?
>>34987041
get an eye for the rules, especially if these are the same judges that are likely to be at your meet. make sure you understand what squat depth looks like, how long the bench pauses are, what a deadlift lockout looks like, etc.
this is my program for the next couple of months if anyone is interested. might have to drop the %s for pause deadlifts and block pulls, and might need to increase them for front squats (since my front squat is untrained). also i'm going to try to take accessories more seriously this time around.

what do I do if I know a guy who takes steroids and competes tested?
we only have IPF in my country and my clubmate told me last night that he cycles roids
>>34987180
tell club owner, being on steroids is probably against the club rules
>>34987255
it is but if he's caught he has to pay 40,000kr thats like 5k usd, he's still my mate i dont want him to have to do that
Phew, did 120x3x10 today. Haven't done high rep stuff since forever. Felt pretty good. Also did some curls, 30x3x20. The pump is very real.
>>34987274
Then don't. up to you, you fuck!
>>34987274
>>34987274
Tell him that he's a huge kuk and that he really shouldn't compete.
>>34987180
Is he any good?
>>34987366
he's between 2 and 8th best lifter by total in sweden in the 83kg class. Not gonna say which cuz i dont wanna be too specific.
>>34987381
If he has a good chance to medal in SM it's not really OK. Maybe you should talk to him about it, but just going all stasi on him isn't very nice.
>>34987274
does he train at the same gym as rejsingbil and his name starts with an A?
>tfw too intelligent to be a powerlifter
>>34987556
don't respond to this

Here's your (you)

What's an appropriate thickness for a rubber horse stall mat to deadlift on? 3/8" is obviously cheaper than 3/4" so I'm inclined to go with that. The thickness shouldn't affect how squishy it is, right? (Want minimal squish)
The neighbor I annoyed while deadlifting is proposing the community buy one for me. :^)
on frontsquats do you just have get used to the pain of the bar on your collar bones or am i doing something wrong?
On upper lower atm.
Missed todays workout because sick.
Is it a good idea to do fullbody tomorrow so i get my 2x week frequency for every lift in?
How light is too light for a deload?
Last time I deloaded, I also cut carbs (because fat), and I did lose a couple of pounds (not counting water weight), but it made the deload WAY too hard (3x5@75% suddenly felt like working weight).
Would it be detrimental for me to do 3x5@50% or something like that?

Would also like some input on this. Last time I deloaded using the standard 5/3/1 template my next cycle felt much heavier than it should've.
>>34988491
And if not, where's the best place to find a couple of correctly sized 20kg plates in the UK?
>>34988480
kek why have you been so sarcastic about going to this meet? all your posts about it have been weirdly snarky
We all like PL here, you're not going to convince us it's a waste of time, if that's the point you're making
>>34988210
Also interested in this question.
>>34988549

what are you talking about?

I think i just have a bad posting style. I'll put it on my list of things to work on I guess.

its honestly fucking embarrassing
>>34988679
Not quite my speed, I tend to like when songs have a bit of a peak to them, and that one didn't, not that it didn't have a nice sound to it, just felt like it was going somewhere and it didn't.
But maybe I've been listening to too much dubstep
>>34988746
Get on steam
>>34988571
ok sorry I couldn't tell
enjoy the meet friend :)
When Boris calls for incline shoulder press can I just do incline bench?
>>34988746
Benchbeta does
>>34988788
I'd recommend you squat 2x BW instead
>>34988655
Poor guy, I honestly kinda feel bad for him I mean he puts up this tough front taking pictures of his gun holstered at the Chinese store but at the end of the day when he takes an honest look at himself, man it must be hard, 28 years old and bagging groceries for minimum wage and living with a bunch of illegal immigrants cramped into an already small space... gotta be pretty tough on a man's soul
gotta love those days where you wake up dehydrated from a night of drinking and your body looks jacked as fuck as a result

Also,
>delts right after
Wtf Boris?
Lads I have a problem. I tried a belt for the first time today and I did not really like it, here's what happened:
>Grip
Usually I have a really wide grip on the bar, but I could not keep the bar tight on my back without closing in my grip. No idea why.
>Stance
A wider stance felt really strong but I didn't hit depth on a couple reps. Probably why it felt strong.
>Speed
I was really slow on the descent and ascent, not on purpose but when watching the recording it seemed very slow.
>Torso
My torso position was for more upright, I couldn't really learn like I used to.
I think my belt is too big and got in the way.
I used pic related.
I don't really like my squat with a belt. The sets definitely felt easier but it felt bad and I didn't like it.
Should I buy a smaller belt? I'm so confused on what the hell to do.

who the fuck are you? 4chan does not need more tripcancer
>>34988884
shut up, I bet you cant even deadlift 200kg
>>34988883
keep in mind that you always have to get used to new stuff. don't expect everything to go perfect when you use a belt. keep using the belt for a few weeks and if the problems persist you can still change your belt according to your own needs.
>>34989130
>implying that's not you
That's the difference between you and I
You're a unsuccessful beta(probably a virgin)

Love to kek her out I mean.
>>34989140
It made me laugh how you were mean to everyone else except me.
Thanks for the advice, I'll stick with it and see what I can do. Feels weird though.
Bent-over rows: should I let my back loosen up as I lower the barbell, and then tighten it up as I do the next rep, or keep it super tight the whole time? I've been keeping it tight but it feels like my triceps are doing too much work
>>34989146
I really want to be more like you
I'm a beta. I apologise for everything, I don't stick up for myself, I let people take my plates at the m and say nothing.
I'm a beta male please help me
>>34989165
>love sparrow
Uh what lmao
>>34989179
Oh now you answer me cunt.
Lifts?
Important make father figure, or are you a bastard?
Which one should I watch/webm today?
Going to have my laptop rip it while I'm at the gym in a bit.
Speed work today... Haven't been able to do speed work in a few weeks, so I'm kind of looking forward to it. Has anyone else tried it? Did you feel a difference when moving heavy weights?
>>34989176
I don't think there's any usefulness in the eccentric movement of the row.
This is my pepe
>>34989176
Are you completely incapable of figuring anything out on your own?
My god you ask the most basic shit ever like figure that shit out for yourself IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER YOU DONT HAVE TO GET CONFIRMATION FROM PLG ABOUT THE MINUTAE OF YOUR FUCKING BENT OVER ROWS
>>34989176
I think I saw a Supertraining video with Ed Coan in which he talked about bent rows. He said he liked to really let them stretch his upper back towards the bottom, because he felt it more that way. I liked doing that when I tried it. I don't do barbell rows very often, though.
This is also mine
The holy trinity
>>34989230
>>34989242
>pepe3
More like imposter3
>>34989215
Yeah, I worded my question poorly. I'm not trying to get anything out of the eccentric, just wondering if pulling my back muscles back into position at the start of the lift is the whole point of the lift. (retracting scapulae I guess)
Basically, which muscles should I feel moving during the lift?
>>34989232
You nailed it sean. I really am bad at figuring this stuff out. Rather than continuing to spin my wheels I've decided to just ask all my basic-tier questions.
>>34989241
Ok yeah, this is what I was getting at. Thanks.
Jesus the shitposting is fucking turnt today.
Saturdays I guess.
5/3/1 has been wildly successful for me as of late. My squat game has just blown the hell up. I'm really liking only doing BBB sets for squats or bench and doing them twice a week.
Question for anyone who's game: what do you believe your greatest training weakness to be? Mine is for sure consistency, to the point where I've actually written my warmup sequence out now so I stop skipping shit.
>>34989296
Consistency, as in having time and access to a gym, is mine.
>>34989284
>Yeah, I worded my question poorly. I'm not trying to get anything out of the eccentric, just wondering if pulling my back muscles back into position at the start of the lift is the whole point of the lift. (retracting scapulae I guess)
I've always treated rows as a way to get my shit back in line after benching, so I really don't treat it with that much respect (Body english is fine, grip is whatever, weight is whatever); I may be the wrong person to ask, but I think you may just be over-complicating things.
>>34989310
Buy a home gym then poorfag
>>34989209
Gran Torino.
I felt a difference, but that has more to do with the load than the speed.
>>34989296
see
>>34989232
and
>>34989320
>over-complicating things
More the former than the latter though.
>>34989340
Is it true you banged more guys than I have women?
>>34989296
>greatest training weakness
It's definitely time for me right now. I only have about an hour at the gym each day from the time I walk in to the time I walk out, so it goes kind of like:
>get changed
>walk on treadmill to help warm up hips/legs after driving for 1.5hrs
>stretch
>main lift for the day
>"fuck, only five minutes left"
>try to squeeze in some accessories
>go home and try to meet calories in a short time period without feeling like I ate a bunch of bricks, because I'm going straight to bed afterwards
It's always tempting to just go full Bulgarian, but I've put too much time into getting settled into conjugate to not see how the gains are when I'm finally running it the way I'm supposed to.
>>34989339
I was feeling Gran Torino, too. Gonna get some really good "angry old man" webms out of this.
>>34989296
>to the point where I've actually written my warmup sequence out now so I stop skipping shit.
Sheiko having his warmups programmed has been a god send for this, in my case.
>>34989340
Eh, it just means you want to do it right. As long as you don't let the form-anxiety stop you from getting stronger it's not much of a weakness, or at the very least it's a weakness you're self aware of, and knowing is half the battle.
>>34989326
Why. You don't even use yours you non lifting cunt.
>>34989296
Nice blog post you fucking idiot
>>34989422

>>34989340
Have you ever had sex with a black guy?
>>34989457
>pre-weight stuff
uh
is it bad if my only warmup is getting under the empty bar and doing 8-10 reps of whatever it is i'm warming up for ??
>>34989486
I'd like to know this as well
>>34989501
No because you can only squat 70lbs
>>34989514
You squat zero pounds, you turbo bastard.
>>34989528
Wow epic comeback
>>34989501
If your mobility is as bad as mine, yes, that's horrible. But if you're a normal human? Naw, that's perfectly fine.
You'll hit point in your training when you start watching Kelly Starret and Chris Duffin videos for warmup ideas more than you watch porn eventually though.
>>34989501
If it isn't a problem for you, then it isn't bad.
Some people just need more warmup stuff.
>>34989561
>Chris Duffin
Literally captain bro science
>>34989561
I hate agreeing with Sean on this one, but Duffin is pretty crap-tier. Another lifter who is in denial about how much steroids influence your gains and thinks he knows everything.
>>34989611
Lifts?
Whereabouts of father?
>beard grows in blond, red and scraggly instead of dark and luscious
WHY THE FUCK IS THIS STILL FUCKING HAPPENING
>>34989664
Low test weakfag
>>34989561
You really have to put Kelly Starrett's ideas through a filter. You start watching those mwods and before you know it you 're reading Becoming a Supple Leopard and you make the fatal mistake of trying squatting with your toes straight forward and your knees fully out as he suggests.
His hip stuff has been particularly helpful though.

Is "leg extensions are bad for knees" just a meme /plg/? Keep in mind Edward "Ed" Ignatius Coan swore by them.
>>34989948
I want to know this too. I was told they were bad outside of plg
>>34989633

>>34989989
You shouldn't be on SS for more than like 6 months if you read the book and do it right
So if you read the book and did it right why the fuck you asking questions here?
Read the book and piss off
>>34990006
Aww come on please I'm struggling alone
>>34989948
since you only got shit replies
leg extensions can long term lead to knee deterioration and the way it trains your muscles is not very useful except for bodybuilding. of course short term nothing might happen but after a couple months or maybe a couple years you will feel it. especially if you go heavy on them. I recommend to instead just do an additional set of squats or legpress.
whats some /mischief/ I can do to one of my flatmates who is really really pissing me off lads
>>34990002
I did SS for less than 6 months. I am not on SS now, the original post I made included the word ID. I actually didn't ask a question, only made a remark.
Which all proves my previous point, as you didn't even bother checking couple posts back to see that the bashing was totally unnessessary and dumb, just like right now.
>>34990016
You literally cant fuck up a cheat row
>>34989948
Of all the exercises, leg extensions has the highest relative forces on the knees - considering it's the only joint used in the movement. You fuck up your knees because you don't allow recovery or use ballistic form; leg extensions don't inherently fuck up your knees.
>>34990053
I want to ask about sets / reps and something else.
I can't specify because you didn't want me to ask you, if you say I can then I will.
>>34990036
How is he pissing you off?
>>34990036
Unplug his toaster
>>34989948
Leg extension = shear force on the knee
Squat = compression foce

stop with this fear mongering - leg extensions =/= fucked knees. its the equivalent of saying bicep curls = fucked biceps tendons. doing anything in excess will fuck you up without adequate recovery - but WITH adequate recovery, the shit gets stronger.
>>34990234
Leg extensions fucked my knees. I did slow 10's. Did I just imagine the knee pain?

No, you probably had knee pain from an accumlation of various things you do, the way you walk, how you sit and for how long each day, how often you squat, your recovery protocols etc. If your knees were 100%, and you fixed all the things damaging your knees, and routinely did leg extensions (but squats would be better) with adequate recovery, your knees would be stronger than ever.

Filmed my whole shoulder workout, since someone asked what I do for shoulder strenght (missed 1-2 warm up sets).
Did some heavy singles today (5/3/1).
Pretty happy with my 115kg ohp, didn't go to 100% because I really wanted to push my limits in push press.

I can't fucking help it.
My mom is helping my grandpa clean his house because he's going to move.
My dad just asked me if she had given me the weightlifting belt yet she found.
All I could think about was how my dad needs to shut up, i told him i already have one and don't need it.
Even after he went >Ok, grandpa wanted you to have it because you're doing so good at this powerlifting thing
I didn't even think about how much of a shit i am.
Only now that I'm sitting here.
Fuck.
>>34990952
the only thing I can say to persuade you to not be a dick to them is that you will miss them when they're gone - you'll realise how selfless family can be to you when you're younger and dependent on them
this properly sinks in once they're not in your life anymore, but by then obviously it's too late to think "I wish I could go back and say thanks".
>>34990952
I'd go to him and say "actually I just tried that belt on and it's really good, I think it's gonna help me, cheers Dad, I'll go and say thanks to Grandpa".

When using a belt, and ONLY using a belt, I gain sharp pain above the pelvis area.
Anyone else? I've heard others saying they've had it.
What is it?
Also after working core I can't do pull-ups or sit-ups without ab pain
Are these tell tale signs of hernia?
Can I use 10kg bumper plates to get the bar to the right height for 220kg deadlifts?
All my pl8s are too small
>>34991358
sound like ab strain
>>34991416
It's only after I train abs, I did ab rollouts and now I can't do pull-ups a few hours later.
Sometimes odours after heavy squats or deadlifts.
The belt pain isn't new, I don't know why it randomly occurs.
>>34991285
You don't
>>34986819
Frog and Toad got swag for dayyyyyyys tbqh family
>>34991457
yea I get the same thing sometimes, from overworking my core generally
I do think it's a minor strain. takes normally a week or two for me to get back to normal after it
>>34991476
Huh alright. Thanks for the heads up.
>>34991416
Ab strain guy strikes again
>>34991401
That's what I do. Be nice to them when setting them down, although I've never seen a busted 20kg.
Do you only have regulation size 10s?
>>34991457
Take a week of direct ab work. If that doesn't work, take a week of light heavy compounds
Sumo deadlifting is much safer than conventional and for that reason alone should be done by everyone
#sumo4lyfe
>>34991546
>light heavy
What is a strain and how is it different to a tear?
>>34988447
for the best heavy sets:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDIkDOtAuoo
i usually time it in between sets so i start lifting at the drop (3 min or so)
>>34991285
by being in a caloric deficit
>>34991546
Yeah 10s are my only regulation size plates.
Bought a 185kg set from bodymax and all the 20s were all around 15"
It has just occurred to me my deadlift is exactly the same as my squat and they progress at the same speed.
Fuuuuuk
>>34991816
Never mind my deadlift is 2.5kg heavier
It's proportional again yay
Should I just accept my fate and lift with wraps?

You need a better rig, m8. Or Bethesda needs a new engine.
Suppose my programming is at a 405lb. squat, with 10lbs added every 5/3/1 cycle, but I test my max and I can squat 425lbs.
Should I continue to sandbag with my programming, or should I immediatley update to my new max on the next cycle?
Thanks ahead of time.
>>34992308
I think if you're getting stronger more quickly than the +10lb/cycle, you should just plug in your new max. Can't seem to remember what Wendler said in the book.
First time using a belt lads and I've strained my abs.
I probably should of realised I was doing something wrong when I almost passed out from the pressure.
I thought that was good bracing, how do I use a belt?
>>34992308
you would update your max, considering you have your new max at hand.
to sandbag on an already slow routine like 5/3/1 lends itself to wasted months and detraining.
>>34988150
kind of concerned now that there's a fitizen at the same meet as me
>>34992354
>>34992469
completely wrong. as Wendler says in the book, your sandbagging approach has given you a massive PR without lifting at a higher intensity. why would you change that?
Today's session was pretty hard.
Rehab squats 3X5 @260, took a video of form today and it looked worse than what I assumed. What can I do better?
https://youtu.be/svXeKihWX3k
Pause deads 5X3 @72.5%, Deficits 2X6 @72.5%
Deficits were pretty fucking hard after the pause sets and it almost felt like I strained my left glute slightly. Definitely gonna program them in lighter next cycle.
>>34992197
>hex plates
Fucking ew
>>34992499
I assume is for
>>34992361
The point is you're likely short changing yourself.
Ofc Wendler would advocate slow, steady progress, because the longer you're on it, the more you advertise it as a superior routine. Just because you're progressing for 3 years doesnt mean its a good routine if you could have done it within 6 months on another routine.
Bump up the weight, don't be a pussy. 5/3/1 is slow af progression as it is so bumping it up a touch isn't detrimental, and handling heavier weight is smart if you're a powerlifter.
>>34992354
>>34992361
>>34992499
>>34992648
I'll take all this into consideration. Both viewpoints are logical.

>>34992593
Anybody have any comments on how my squats are looking. I'd like to keep them looking nice before I start working with real weight again and something looks off about them right now to me.
>>34992910
I have a 970 evga and get 60fps on ultra
>>34992197
Where is this?
>>34992958
Not at all sure, but I think you can open your knees a bit more and get the weight further back on your feet.
>>34992997
Probably hard to tell from the angle but knees are actually pretty way open.
Definitely will try to think about keeping the weight further back next session and see how it feels. Thanks.
I had my first pl'ing comp last weekend. Went pretty well, didn't come last which is what I set out to achieve on the day. I had been doing texas method for about three months prior to the meet and now we're about to start beach season here in the city of New Zealand I feel like doing some other program with a bit more hypertrophy. Suggestions lads?
What's a good book I can read to learn better squat and deadlift form?
