Hit any PR's today family?
I got 445 on squat or whatever
I still get asked DYEL outside of the gym tho
You did SS, didnt you?
>>35097662
This can't be real
>>35097674
Huh?
>>35097692
Why's that? And yeah that's me lol same shorts, same watch
Currently at 420 on my squat, but hitting current numbers on Wednesday. In 3 weeks from now and depending on how it goes on Wednesday I hope my squat is at 450ish, dead at 550 and bench at 300ish and Good job OP:)

>running shoes

You can't expect us to think you squatted that, right?
>>35097662
>Squatting with non flat nor Olympic
the fuck is this m8, some cushion for the pushin?
4pl8 is nothing, this chick went on to squat 4pl8 in comp
>>35097863
>running shoes
Been squatting with them for ever, don't need new shoes
>spotter literally holding you
Look at his arms, it's a PR attempt, they're ready to catch me if I bomb it, they aren't even touching me however
>on the sides of your feet with knees caving in before even hitting parallel
The fuck nigga lol that was parallel, maybe even lower
>lower body doesn't even look like you've squatted before
Except I do squat and I just did 445 :^]
You can't expect us to think you squatted that, right?
>>35097934
If that photo is the bottom of the squat, you didn't hit parallel.
>>35097833
I didn't even notice his shoes.
Why you squating with running shoes OP? I did that when I first started squating and it fucked with my balance and that was just the bar. either get some flat shoes or go barefoot.
>>35097947
Pls tell me how my calve can be touching my hamstring yet I didn't go parallel...
>>35097975
They don't seem to bother me much.. I love my nikes, idk t.bh familia
Nice work OP. Next step is 220 and 260 and someday 300kg
>>35097987
Because your hip crease is above your knee. Shit, if you push your knees far enough forward you can be sitting on your heels and still above parallel.
140kg deadlift (something like 308lbs) after one of the injury riddled old guys gifted me his straps
Finally caught up with my bench :^)
>>35097987
Do you even know what parallel is?

>4pl8 high bar, in some shitty running shoes
I am miring senpai, don't let these autist tell you otherwise.
>>35098096
Except that it's not, your feet are leaning inward
>>35098096

>>35097662
Real bodybuilders don't do pr attempts. Fucking DYEL noob.
>>35097987
Your calves are fucking tiny, of that's what you mean.
>>35097662
You've got no size whatsoever and are attempting a 1rm squat? you haven't got a fucking clue what you're doing kid.
>neckbeards critiquing a guys Squat depth from behind with baggy clothing and a lot of his body blocked from view
>neckbeards nit picking a guys form when he's doing a weight none of them could even unrack
Sorry nobodies impressed by your 135lb Squat, even if you do have perfect form and go ATG(tips fedora)
>>35098874
>you need to be "big" to do a heavy single
That's what it's called you fucking dyel retard, a heavy single. You don't do a "1rep max", you find out your 1rep max by doing " heavy singles".
>>35098902
Ooh, someone is mad.
You can see by the pic you have no muscle and your form is shit. Also, you're trying for a pr. It couldn't get anymore DYEL or cringeworthy. Let me guess, you had oats and whey for breakfast?
>>35098961
Uhhh I'm not OP and you're fucking retarded. How about you take a picture of yourself squatting OPs weight pussy?
>>35097905

Doubt that she would be able to do 2.5 without the equipment.

You got no calves, but they are still bigger than lower leg
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAAA!!!!'
>>35098835
Who said.i cared about body building? Lol ion care about that homoerotic shit pham
Been pulling 95kg dead last sesh 3x 5 1x3 and squat at 90 for 3 x 6 2x3
Tomorrow is 97.5kg dead and at least 92.5 squat for working sets
DL pb atm is 107.5kg and Squat PB is 105kg
Just working up atm soon I'll be pretty strong hopefully
>>35097662
I squatted 1 plate the first time I used a squat rack last week. Never done a squat before because my community college gym doesn't have one. Pls no bully.
>>35099353
This is all at 74kg for only 10 weeks proper training. Bretty gud I think
>>35098078

I got a new 5RM squat of 265 at the end of last week. I'll be going for that sweet 3pl8 1RM in a week or two.
Congrats on the 445.
Mirin'
>>35099403
2 months in btw
Pulled 180kg for the first time last night senpai :). I can't fucking increase my bench press whatsoever though
lower faggot
also you might want to pay attention to that knee valgus
other than that
>solid
cuz noone cares bout legs brah, 5pl8 squat is worthless if u look dyel,
only /fit/ cafres about monsterquads,,
legs doesnt matter as long as they arent unproportionally small compared to upperbody
/fit/ does leg press and calve raises and calls that their leg day lol
>>35099432
What's wrong with that? What's your routine?
>>35099427
Op here, I'd rather look DYEL and squat more than 450 than look buff as fuck but can barely do 3 plates
>>35099452

>>35101945
why do these faggots wear these ridiculous straps of material? your chest isn't even fantastic
>>35101960
I don't wear them you actual gyms, this is a really small private "exercise" room at my country club. I like seeing what i need to work on and how the muscle looks while pumped.
>>35097662
why do people use spotters like this on squats when there are safeties in place? I never understood this
>tfw 205 for 5 strict overhead press

Been slacking in the gym since so no PRs
Just kill me senpai
>>35102490
Gz anon. What shoes are you using?
>>35102499
Might not be a very impressive weight, but seriously mirin flexibility. Slap some oly shoes on with raised heels and you will be a sick squatter if you keep at it.

>he fell for the atg meme
>>35102499
It looks like you have a buttwink. Go buy them oly shoes if you want to hit depths. They give you better stability also, you can drive more strength from your quads.
>>35101945
wtfuck is on your upper body
>>35102540
Everyone has buttwink. And I'm not him, but I prefer no shoes. If you use special shoes to lift more weight then is it you doing the lifting or the shoes?
>>35102590
lol i dont think you understand how it helps you.
>>35102536
It's no struggle at all for me to go that low sorry your not flexible at all
>>35102540
Butt wink is where your ass like swings out and up right or something? Aka back not straight? How can I work on Fixing it
Today is squat day actually so I can try some new things out on my 4x10s
>>35102590
>If you use special shoes to lift more weight then is it you doing the lifting or the shoes?
>is it you doing the lifting or the shoes?
this is the dumbest post relating to equipment i have seen on /fit/
>>35102634
shoes that help with stability is not even comparable to wrist wraps or a belt
>>35102590
>Everyone has buttwink
Nope. And how about you do some research about oly shoes. You are a bit lost here..
>>35102650
>tfw i got meme'd
>>35102600
>>35102650
If it's just for stability, then I think they're useless. I feel more stable barefoot than in any shoes. Maybe I just need to get used to wearing them?
>>35102680
they need breaking in just like any other shoe brah
>>35102618
You have to do lots and lots of stretching and flexibility work, look up to oly trainers. Or you can just buy oly shoes, even oly lifters use them and they can go ATG without them. They just help with the movement, make it easier to progress and maintain proper form (to prevent injuries etc.)
Or you can just squat a little higher. until your flexibility prevents buttwink. Its funny that its a 50-50 if your squat would be accepted in a IPF meeting, becouse you push your knees so far, that your quad near pelvis isn't actually much lower than quad near knee, which is the criterion for deep enough depth.
did 125 kg x 5 diddylift today
>tfw still weak as fuck
>>35102680
wlshoes.com, go read
but a tl;dr, the heel helps you if you have insufficient ankle dorsiflexion
stability is compared to other shoes, barefoot is obviously stable as you're standing on the fucking ground
>>35102680
Becouse of the raised heel, you find yourself in a more upward position, which is an advantage in HB squat. This lets you generate more strength through your heels, and activate more quads. It helps you to stabilize yourself, so you can drive more strength to the barbell instead of adjusting your balance. It also lets you squat deeper, which increases your ROM, and gives better muscle activation for HB and LB squat.
Just wait until you put some plates on your bar. I bet you will not find it comfortable to squat shoeless with big weights..
>>35102761
I had to buy weightlifting shoes for my new gym because they require you to wear shoes. I'm worried they might be half a size too big though. I hate shoe shopping.
>>35102841
My friend wears 2 heavy socks under, said that it made them feel tight again.
>>35097662
Hell yes 150 kg on the DL for a single
Felt easy too, gonna go for a double next week
is gaining 20 lbs on db curl good for only working out for 4 weeks
>>35099408
No.
>>35102916
that's what compression pants are for
>>35102926
when you rep 315 as easy as 225 you know your around 405
>>35103163
yes and no. 20 increase in 4 weeks is a lot, BUT if you just started that is why. Enjoy it while it last and get as much as you can from it.
>>35099486
Someone fell for the SS meme
>>35099382
OP I was all for you, until you posted this gay ass shit. nice heavy squat though.
>>35103736
Op here, thanks man
>>35097662
Two things
Depth, questionable
Mobility, needs work
That said, take it. It's a pr, I don't care who you are or what you do. If you don't compete in power lifting then this gets the job done. It looks like your an inch or 2 away from depth in this crap tastic photo. Look at a ruler and check one or 2 inches. you have the strength but it might be mobility or form blocking the depth. I was literally an inch away from depth when I hit my 550 because I got scared
Congrats on the pr and don't let the people in this thread bring you down at all.
Benched 335 today, which matches my old PR, but with a narrower grip (pinkies on the ring v index finger on the ring)
>>35102071
It's safer and they can dig you out instead of having to potentially crumble
>>35097662
ye m8 130kg squat atg new 1rm, went up easy as fuck desu
Just hit a pr
160lb keg (full of water) to 70 inch platform. Then I got pissed off because j couldn't make it higher or heavier lol
>been back to cutting after stagnant period for few months after losing 80lbs
>only been a month and already near my lowest weight, and only 25lbs away from goal weight right now
Been doing much more cardio with heavy ass lifting, weights are going up, getting more in shape, and fat shedding off, such good feels lately.
Oh pr's lately

>>35102531
What weight are you meant to start with on 5x5 if you're already an advanced lifter?
I'm assuming around 60% of your one rep max, but maybe you have a better idea?
I'm a different anon from whom you addressed in the post I'm responding to, by the way
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMV8S--ur18
previous bests were 325/230/405 with shittttttty form and 10lbs heavier
Ran a mile in 9:30
Probably not great by /fit/'s standards but a big deal for me
I squatted 280 lbs for a double deep, out of the rack today.
That's double bodyweight on high bar at 5'8"- deadlift is still around 420 pounds, OHP around 135-140 for one rep. My bench sucks ass
Dunno why /fit/ has been so pessimistic and jelly the past few weeks. Mirin forearms by the way
>>35097662
You're stronger than Maxx Chewning and Tim Thebodeau. Why aren't you posting videos on youtube?
They squat low bar with knee sleeves, belt and olympic shoes while you squat totally raw.
i front squatted 135 for 3x3 today
my knee hurt tho so i couldnt do the whole 6x3
jlyk byby
i easily pulled my previous max (450lbs) for a double and got stared down by a manlet that was deadlifting across from me.
>>35106028
noice man keep at it see how far you can go brah
>>35106410
Manlet here, 5'8". I stared down nearly every man at the gym today, including the 5-10 guys who were even shorter manlets.
Can confirm that this is done. I do imagine that taller men do it as well, however.
>>35106058
....so you weigh 140 lbs? It's time to stop posting
>>35106448
I'm on a cut down to 130, not stopping until 8%!
>>35101945
How tall are you? I have close to the same stats at 6'3" and am nowhere near that big.
>>35106448
This is what 5'8" 140 can look like. Also, take a look at young Frank Yang, Bruce Lee, or many others.
>>35102570
it looks like a necklace making a weird flare in the picture
>>35106388
I have no idea who any of those are lol
>>35097662
I finally hit 225lbs a the bench
>>35106572
>manlet
who gives a shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYm4w61A0ZM
This is a huge volume PR on squats for me. I'm currently running Layne Norton's "PH3" routine he just released and it's really been pushing me on my squat. This was 448 for 4x5, and then a final set of 7. The last set of 7 would have been a PR by itself, but i'm even happier that I did it after 4 previous sets.
>>35098078
Same, we go to dyel gyms brah.
>>35106740
140 lbs / 68 inches = 2.06 pounds/inch
153 lbs / 74 inches = 2.07 pounds/inch
Assuming both men are at the same bodyfat percentage and have the same bone diameter and clavicle width, they have identical builds, yet the lanklet is only 13 pounds heavier.
That's how small the difference.
>>35102228
Not rlly, I don't train OHP and my bench is going up fine
>>35098096
You should stop responding to these haters
>>35098880
This
Deadlifted 405 for 6 reps today.
>>35099382
dude.... I was rooting for you until this
>>35099403
Oh, nice, you weigh 110 kilos too?
>>35099465
Only people on /fit/ who worship a dead homosexual Austr(al)ian drug addict because of their own self-image issues are concerned about athletic performance rather than aesthetics?
so much cognitive dissonance here...
>>35097662
495x8 on deadlift. It's a rep pr. Never hit it for more than 5. Current max is 575.
>>35097662
>tfw you scroll past a PR thread while having a herniated disc and will never squat heavy again
just end my life tbqh

If you lived in the apartment above me I would hate you with every fiber of my being.
Hit 1 pl8 squat today.
I know most of you are gonna laugh your ass off at that, but it's a pretty good milestone for me. I've been on dialysis for 9 months for kidney failure, and i am anaemic (take epo to compensate). I started lifting at the beginning of november. The first time I tried to squat with just the bar I bombed out and fell flat on my fat ass in front of a moderately packed gym. So yeah I am celebrating moving to babbyweights from supermicromidgetbabbyweight.
>>35108441
I'm sorry man
This is op, tell me how you injured yourself
How long have you Bin Liftin' , OP?
>>35099382
>man leggings
>instagram filter
XDDD
i went to the gym for the first time in a week yesterday due to thanksgiving (out of town, with family, etc.) and i ate like utter shit during that week i missed, but i set a new bench PR after being plateaued at 275 for 2-3 months
how did this happen
>>35108605
I've been lifting on and off since about 8th grade when I started playing football.. been lifting ever since... I turn 21 in January.
I go through phases... i feel super motivated sometimes and lift 6 days a week for 8 or 9 months then I get bored and don't lift for a month or two.
>>35108670
Taking a break and eating dumb shit gives you a bunch of energy, somehow.
Also, possibly your regular diet is lacking in something you got while on break
>>35108729
>I go through phases... i feel super motivated sometimes and lift 6 days a week for 8 or 9 months then I get bored and don't lift for a month or two.
same shit happens to me except in shorter times
>>35108593
a fucking deload set
I dropped down to 185 , aiming for 12,
must have lost tightness and on the way down (or was it up?) after a few reps I heard/felt a pop....and kept going
was almost 6 months ago and there ain't nothing to do about it except wait or surgery
>>35108785
Maybe that's why I look like a DYEL faggot even though I've been working out for what seems like ever lol
I just barely started doing that shit with your TDEE or whatever and making sure I get enough protein and blah blah like a month ago
This might be the strongest I've been.
>>35108811
You bros over-complicate what you need to see results.
You don't need to eat a shitload of protein, 120 grams is twice the RDA and is plenty for any natural athletes except for really big guys like strongmen and endurance athletes who burn 4000+ calories per day.
As far as diet is concerned, eating clean isn't necessary. Fats are good for you. Fried potatoes are good for you. Bacon is good for you. Hamburgers and pizza are great. You want to slip some vegetables and fruits and nuts and whole grains and lean meats into your diet, but there is no reason to swear off fast food.
Saturated fats are harmless to MOST individuals and high glycemic index carbs are harmless unless you consume an inordinate amount of them, i.e. 80% of your calories are pop tarts.
>What should you predominately watch and limit your consumption of as a bodybuilder, athlete, or health conscious individual?
>polyunsaturated fats- which in the wrong amounts, can lower testosterone and cause inflammation
>sodium- (blood pressure, water retention, other shitty side effects)
>sugar- mainly for the sake of satiety and getting enough whole foods, but also sugar consumption likely is driving rates of metabolic syndrome
Obviously if you have some genetic predisposition like food allergies or heart disease, you might want to avoid certain foods.
I myself have a vastly superior lipid and hormonal profile than the vast majority of the fitness population, even the vegan population, despite eating pizza, burgers, fries around 5-10 times per week.
>my stats: 61 HDL 66 LDL 49 TG; 800 ng/dl testosterone
If eating clean is all you can do to curb your cravings and stick to a diet, by all means do it, but you're not going to have an optimal hormonal profile if you eat 300 grams of protein per day and only 50 grams of fat.
>>35109005
Woah lol you've got me mistaken senpai
I'm not that big, I just make sure I eat consistently and avoid the junk food to a moderate degree while trying to make sure I get at least about 150g of protein through out... I'm not too serious about it as you make it out to be, I literally eat almost anything besides shit I don't like, like avocado, tomatoes etc
>>35109234
Oh well the post wasn't really aimed at you that much, it's more aimed at anyone who happens to see it
It had some relevance to what you said so I included you in the response though
>>35109282
It's cool 2bh I ain't trippin
>>35109005
>Don't complicate things!
>Gives incredibly long winded unnecessary explanation.
Get .82g of protein per lb of lbm on a cut and .68 on a bulk. Eat in a surplus for a bulk, deficit for a cut. Simple.
>>35109005
Also
>high GI carbs
This literally does not matter, go away with your outdated science that has since been disproven.

It's less complicated to eat a balanced, healthy average joe diet with few restrictions than the high protein bodybuilder diet that has been pushed by roided bodybuilders and supplement companies.
I just gave a few general dietary guidelines that might make dieting easier and more comfortable

>>35102499
jesus fucking christ
>>35109595
Simple, train calves 3 times per week. Alternate seated and standing calf raises, progressively overload them like any other body part.
OP's thighs are plenty big. You shouldn't want bigger thighs than that unless you're a competing bodybuilder
>>35109565
say that to my face, but i doubt it because im clearly bigger than you asshole
>>35102499
You've got great dorsiflexion
>>35109619
I hate calf exercises. I resort to jump roping for those baby cow gains
>>35102499
if you're still here pls tell me how to get those mad ankle flexibility gains
What does hitting a PR have to do with looking good. You look dyle cuz you only want to lift for strength. It's body building not power lifting simple as that OP

I know that's babyweight compared to what some of you are pulling but I remember struggling at 135 not too long ago. 3pl8 is so close i can taste it.

I'm assuming both men have the same girth and the only direction of change is the y-axis.
Like a cylinder that is being lengthened.
I have nearly identical frame to my father who is 6'4" while I am 5'11", he just has slightly longer tibias and torso. His waist and ankles are the exact same.
