power lifting general
for the purpose of powerlifting
>who let it die edition
>>35220843
this is a sign to let the fucking shit general die. just let it die.
I FAILED 2 TEXAS METHOD INTENSITY DAYS IN A ROW. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!
>>35220903
here you go anon
>>35220917
Does failing intensity day count as very hard? I don't think my volume should go higher. I just calculated and it's 85% of intensity day. The book says a major mistake is too great of volume
Thanks for the table
>>35220933
>Does failing intensity day count as very hard?
yeah, unless you had some major form issue or something, or just didn't try
>The book says a major mistake is too great of volume
volume needs to be pushed to keep ID moving, when that stops working you generally need to move on past a weekly periodization
>>35220970
Ok. Thanks m8. Will up the volume and continue to work hard

Where is everyone?
>>35220843
just wondering, when using leg drive on bench, is your ass flat on the bench or just barely touching it while forcing your upperback against the bench.
>>35221243
Fuck off, Sean.
They've moved on to less autistic realms.
>>35221255
i would say just barely touching without coming off the bench would produce the most force.
does anyone have experience/tips on sizing down knee sleeves twice?
>>35220843
Fuck can those Japs bench.
Tfw max is 130 but I can do 5x3 with 130 in a red memeshot like it's nothing. I think this means I need to learn to tuck my elbows when benching raw. :^^) thx mememasterbell
>had trouble with 405 conventional
>switched to sumo increase to:4pl8 1x3
>3 weeks later..450 2x3 with more in the tank
>tfw cutting
w-what is this? are there roids in the water fountains?
>>35221464
You've been eating right and resting well
>>35221464
You switched to sumo, so you made some cheater gains
>>35221464
>>35221464
>Switched to literally lesser ROM galore
>Why am I stronger.
Gee do you also ask this when you go from close grip bench to wide grip?
>>35221513
Cuz every record deadlift is Sumo amirite! Clearly it's so much easier to deadlift that way!
bulgarian anon reporting in, day 58.
Buried 460 atg with good speed.
bench felt slow but stable, with 275 for 2 singles.
hitting triples on pull ups between every bench set. gonna work on building up volume until I can do 10+ and then do daily weighted triples working on weight.
adding in a set of banded GHRs on non deadlift days.
Would PLG be receptive or bully me if I tripped to make my blogging less confusing?
>>35221530

Captain's log
Squats today (aka goodmornings). Fuck this session felt good. Back injury wasn't even there. Still a bit of buttwink, and the forward lean is back, but I'm so much happier with today's session than last week. Got home and ate a bowl of Chanko, Fifteen Danish Cookies and a half litre of eggnog.
Comfy feels.

If I get more positive feedback I probably will trip.
BW has gone up slowly as you would expect it to from eating a small surplus. I pretty much try to eat,sleep, and foam roll any pain I have away. This week (I think, haven't checked though) my weight has ballooned because it was finals week at my school, and I ate pretty much nothing but fast food.

No, fuck off. I spend my Friday attending Christmas parties and squeezing titties.

That god damn midget was such an insane squatter.
>>35222228
Strongman is cooler anyway. Search your heart, you know it to be true.
>>35222264
It really is, but I honestly prefer maxing out on lifts as the main test of strength, not having to do AMRAPs, and work on cardio.
I will definitely dabble in strongman in the future though
>>35222279
Shhh, don't tell anyone, but I think the Arnold Classic is cooler than World's Strongest Man because of that. Granted, a couple of events are AMRAPs, but they're so absurdly heavy half the field zeroes anyway.
>>35222288
>tfw will never be strong enough to compete there
>>35221425
how the fuck did you come to this totally unsupported conclusion?

>>35222314

do these exist?
>>35222346
unfortunately.
>>35222300
Not with that attitude. Come on, they even have a feather log for dudes that can't do the heavy one, it's only 385lbs.
>>35222393
Stop triggering me, shitlord.
>>35222402
My gf will be competing at the Arnold desu. In the cheer competition but still.
>>35222402
On the plus side, you can at least go to the aussie Arnold. Standards ain't quite so high down here, although they're pretty brutal for the amateur division.
>>35222402
The only cardio besides the frame carry is a 10ft race. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. There's the trifling matter of the 1410lb yoke, but I believe in you.
>>35222436
how the fuck did he not get hurt by this
>>35222463
He did get banged up pretty bad by it, just managed to avoid breaking anything.
Strongmen tend to have stupid bone density and a lot of padding. Plus some serious luck in this case.

New squat suit lads
>>35223144
What're your equipped maxes lad?
>>35222828
When is the competition?
>>35222634
nice neck, you look very slick in general
>>35223179
Literally no maxes yet. I quarter squatted 230kg a couple of times with "20% wraps" and a shitty suit. I touched with 150kg on the second rep of a double but I can double 160kg too.
I did a 280kg DL but I can get a little more.
>>35223595
>>35223598
But gym maxes so whatever. Training is alright and I'm getting better at it. Still got 11/2 weeks.
>>35223602
Do you even get anything out of a deadlift suit? That looked heavier than your 275 at jnr nats. Good job benching 140
Two questions:
My left bicep is an inch bigger than my right bicep, even my left deltoid looks bigger.
No clue why because I'm right handed.
What curl variation is best to fix this? Should I also be doing dumbbell press one arm at a time?
Also I got like 6 hours sleep and feel like shit, I have an important bench session today and really don't want to stall.
Should I not go and go tomorrow when I'm more rested?
>>35223609
Yeah I'm not getting a huge amount out of it. 10kg or so, based on how it feels to lift after I take it off.
>>35223602
>>35223598
>>35223595
Why do you even trip?
You're ugly as ass
You're weak as fuck
You can't even deadlift 300kg.
>>35223621
Shut the fuck up nigger
>>35223615
Your back is so much straighter with a suit though.
>>35223629
Actually that's a coincidence. The suit makes keeping a tight straight back much harder because I havbe to protact my shoulders to reach the bar, and at lighter weights I round back so badly.
>>35223621
Sean pls go
>>35223638
You're proabably crying rn because you know that everything I said was 100% true, so the only come back you have is " sean pls go"
lmao
>>35223595
If you can't hit depth in suit that usually means you need more weight right?
250 when?
I kinda wanna try equipped, but I feel it's too technical for me to learn for fun desu
I don't want to out myself as a pleb, but what does the back-arching accomplish?
Does it let you recruit more muscles or something?
lol ed coans opinion about robert wilks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AxM-g9zOW0&feature=youtu.be&t=876
what do you think guise
Guys, I failed a squat. I'm assuming it's because I get into a nasty habit of leaning forwards. I'll blame part of it on being tired af, but I suspect I'm also due to increase volume day load a bit - Currently doing 125 kg.
Did I do OK on depth, though?
>>35223945
>Getting up on your tippy toes
Fix that.
subbers with the GF again lads
>>35223955
Yeah, I'm painfully aware of my deal with pitching forwards once I start nearing my max weights. My volume day sets go over a fair deal smoother, but as I also wrote earlier, I suppose I'm due to increase the load there since I'm clearly not getting anywhere with smoothly moving too light weights.
>>35223964
I'm sorry m8, she's got manhands
>>35223988
that's why she gives superb handjobs
>>35223964
>gross mouth
>>35223791
250 whenever. I've got a new suit now so it's back to basics. First day in the old loose shit suit I failed 200 and 190
Jogging sucks lads
>>35224099
why the fuck would you jog? worst form of cardio in existence

do any of you lads do any combat sports? considering taking up boxing and wrestling
Test
Wide stance plus bands around knees warm up plus single leg work is really working to cure my valgus
I have no idea which of those three worked best though
>>35224899
Do you find wide grip+high frequency (bench) can be too tough on your pecs? I think moving my grip back in will allow me to train with greater freq.
>>35224958
Don't move in grip just do one session close grip
>>35224966
What if I'm not any stronger with the wider grip? Wouldn't it be best to get as much practice as possible with the closer grip?
>>35224958
Not at all. However I cannot do flies at all anymore even with super light weights without pain. Take from that what you will.

Ah training during the holidays.
Fucking gym schedule.
What the heck should my rep ranges be for accessories?
I have a feeling 3x5 flat bench and 5x10 incline isn't too good of an idea.
>>35225681
4our got picture
>>35225681
For most programs accessories are allowed to fall into the "whatever" range. 5x10 is completely doable. Just don't let it impact the actual reason you're training.
>>35225697
>No Squats
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Deep, but inapplicable to my situation.
About those rep schemes tho....
>>35225761
God this makes me so sad.
>>35225792
Not as sad as a man giving up on squatting tho
I have done only front squatting for 3ish months because my quads are so weak it hurts. My front squat went from 240 to 330 pounds, but I think learning how to hold the bar helped my front squat more than anything, but I still made decent quad strength gains
Now here comes the problem. My back squat went down during that period of front squatting. My best back squat was 405x2, but I haven't managed to break the 350-pound barrier in my back squats for 2 weeks.
What the fuck lads
Probably just failed a class because I'm a stupid cunt who forgets his calculator and has to buy a pencil from an Asian guy. I did all my math and took forever. Can I deadlift this feel away ?
Please kill me lads I've never failed a class and this is a prerequisite for more important shit.

4chan pass so I can shit post to my death
>>35225890
terrific! It was as I had expected
You will probably never ever deadlift the feel of being an absolute numbnut and not check his bag before leaving the room that morning, making sure he has brought all his essentials.
But you will probably move on, 5 years from now and laugh at your mistakes, or be stuck here begging for chocolate-milk loving powerlifters to kill you
tl;dr let go, move on, see what your next best course of action from this point
>>35225812
You've fucked up. Basically closed off every door of opportunity in your life.
Better find a rich old women and bang her to take her fortune when she passes

Today was an important day for me in the gym, but I couldn't go because I got NO SLEEP last night as I had the worst sore throat ever.

Guys im one of those small romp, long legs guys especially long femors. If i pick up oly shoes does that make the squat even harder? Cuz I think it will make me tip over or ill need even more knee travel..

get the fuck out
havin such a hard time finding a program that could fit my needs lads fuck my life
>>35226274
SS or Madcow 5x5 are the only two programs I ever enjoyed.
>>35226175
buy the fucking shoes. it's basically impossible to squat properly even with shoes if you have long ass femurs
>>35226299
Not true.
I have long femurs and my squat was stronger than my deadlift before I quit squatting.
Wide stance + flats were the best position for long femur fucks like myself.
Cant bench for 4 months, what do you guys think about this program I made for myself?
i lift 120/???/160 @85, my OHP is 55kg.
>>35226339
what is wrong with you that you can't bench but can OHP, row, and dip?
>>35226366
His pecs are too big and he wants them to get smaller to be proportionate to his legs
>>35226366
no idea but my sports doctor told me not to bench for 3mo and gave me a routine of exercises to help rehab my shoulder
>>35226383
4mo*

>>35226426

>>35226431
not really since he got banned and his medal and records taken away
>>35226440
Yeah this. Still a beautiful squat.
Bench meet went a shit lads...
Only hit my opener, 160kg, which was really fast. I made the mistake of calling 170 which I barely failed for two times. I seriously could've closed 167.5 but I've been too greedy :(
