Yer haw powerlifting general
Isley still can't bench 140kg and benchbro still can't deadlift 4 plate and panzertwink still can't bench 2 plate
Yeee haew
How do you bench 2pl8?
I can't do it, nothing works. I keep stalling at 65kg.
I deload and work my way back up and stall at 65kg so I deload and work my way back up and stall at 65kg and on and on....
Why

>>35525061
change programming?
what are you doing right now for it?
also how much do you weigh?

>>35525078
Maybe you should transition to an intermediate program like TM or something
>>35525097
At 65kg? I can't handle the shame.
>>35525029
>benchbro still can't deadlift 4 plate
>>35525078
Check your sleep and diet. Watch some form videos on youtube, John Paul Cauchi is a good starting point.
>>35525117
>his knees
>locked out
OPs pic looks like girl I hooked up with... Ungoldy fishy juice vagina.. Felt as wet and wide as a slip n slide...
>>35525112
4chan standards =/= irl standards.
If the novice program is no longer working, you need an intermediate one, it doesnt matter what your numbers are.
For some people, SS will carry them almost to 2pl8 easily, for others SS might fail them before even 1pl8. Just do what works for you.

christ sean/panzer give it a rest
Didn't make sense not to lift for fun, your brain gets smart but yours head gets dumb.
>>35525061
You doing 5x5? I stalled at 65x5 for months then dropped it to 65x3 and blasted as many sets every 3 minutes until you fail. I've been doing this once a week, bumping up 2.5kg every week, and now I'm at 75x3. It's absolutely horrible the next day but the extra volume seems to help me. Aim for about 30 reps and rest more if you need.
Lost 5% off my deadlift, friends.
>>35525230
Hey now
>>35525240
you're a roid star
>>35525239
Hopefully you gf lost 5% of her bw to compensate
>>35525167
Is this supposed to impress anyone?
>>35525240
Somebody once asked "could I spare some change for gas I need to get myself away from this place." I said "yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself. And we could all use a little change"
>>35525078
You could try taking weight off the bar and run 3x8 LP for a while. G Cucks has an article about making your novice prorgram last longer that suggests something similar.
Doing 3x8 @ 50kg gives is more volume then 3x5 @ 65kg. And the former should be easy af. Build back up and when you switch back to fahves you should hopefully be way past 65kg.
>>35525257
She's actually doing really well about tracking her intake now. I'm proud of her.
>>35525260
It was in response to the OP.
Now all we need is isley's 140kg..m bench and panzer's 2pl8 bench.
>>35525270
Interesting concept and I may give that a go. Thanks for the tip!
My SBD knee sleeves arrived today, went for my Sheiko squat session.
Lads, I never want to squat without them again.
Also figured out why my belt was pinching my stomach when I squatted, wasn't forcing my knees out enough and somehow the knee sleeves helped.
>>35525260
Hey that's a lot of weight! 4 plates at 210lbs.. That's only, the weakest deadlift wilks in PLG
LMAO
>>35525291
Yeah but his bench wilks is pretty good.
>>35525301
Literally worse than isleys...
>>35525301
oh boy bort.
You just opened a can of worms. We all know that, but now sean is going to throw a tantrum about it.
Whew. time to abandon thread.
>>35525301
It's worse than isleys even
Maybe even topkeks

>>35525328
why are you in a gym and not your home gym lad?
>>35525029
>Isley still can't bench 140kg and benchbro still can't deadlift 4 plate and panzertwink still can't bench 2 plate
is this REAL? ayy lmao
>>35525328
ayy budabrah. Mirin bulk.
>>35525347
Because his home gym is a piece of shit and he'd rather show off to a bunch of 15 / 16 year old children who don't know any better
>>35525352
Yes. But please don't look through the thread or actually look up anything about this statement.
>>35525328
why do you never deadlift
>>35525369
His homegym is actually rather nice and comfy i'd say.
Not a ton of equipment but its simple and nice.
>>35525383
It's poverty tier
>>35525392
just like your wilks
>>35525328
Is it just me or are you twisting when squatting?
Tfw can't do OHP for reps. I can ohp 145 for 3 but I struggle with 130 for 4
>>35525410
Just like budas wilks
poverty homeym for poverylifts
>>35525538
you tried.
panzer. steam.
>>35525061
I got stuck at 95 for weeks, in the end what done it for me was to cut the weight down for the final set and just keep pounding out reps until I was completely fatigued, after that I smashed through the plateau and am now heading for 130
>>35525347
I coach, so I was already at school :)
>>35525697
what do you coach?
>>35525377
I'm bad at it.
But srs, I mostly only do light variations since I squat every day, so I don't film deadlift often.
>>35525411
Probably. My left hip is bad. Surgery 9 years ago on the femoral head and socket.
>>35525707
Track and XC.
>>35525538
Lol. Ain't even mad.
>>35525377
by having good proportions for squat and bench, he is forever doomed to a disappointing deadlift.
>>35525328
Mirin m9, any particular reason you stand around so long before you squat? Just feeling it out?
>>35525837
he's debating whether or not using steroids to finish smolov would make it less impressive
>>35525029
Why do people censor the eyes like that? You can see 100% who the person is, a bar over the eyes just makes them look creepy.
>>35525911

Mostly just trying to think: hips neutral, glutes on, chest up, lats tight, breathe an brace.

Nah u haven't posted a video yet.

I will press it in four weeks.
>>35526222
(You)
>>35526242
You look like you understand what to do on set up but not why you do it, so you make your big wind up but you're still pretty loose after your setup.
Looks like what you've got with the scapulae is on point where you kind of let them sink, but there is no point in your memey first part of the setup is completely changed by the second.
Also you need to get more thoracic arch and less lumbar. A proper setup will help with this but I know some people go as far as having someone put a dowel or small pipe under their arch and seeing how far up they can slide it. Use your leg drive to push in to your traps and let those points fold your upper back.
>>35526222
>diddles 200kg
>im so strong and i lift for aesthetics xD
>>35526436
I actually noticed that about my setup today during the session. More ritual than anything else at this point. Would probably help if I could stay tight and make that setup matter.
Yeah I do definitely arch lumbar more. It's something I've noticed for a while but just haven't really even considered working on it. I'll try the small pipe thing sometime soon.
I feel stronger with a moderate arch desu

Thanks to c",) for suggesting I sit between my legs/knees on squats. I cued that instead of sitting back and my squats today felt a lot comfier than they did on sunday.

REEEEEEEEE Why is my kinesthetic awareness totally shit in the squat. Every rep feels totally different, most reps feel awkward, I tend to lose balance and end up doing a paused squat. When squatting in front of a mirror it gets better but thats not a real solution. How do I master the squat? Deadlift on the other hand feels great every time, I can feel the positioning of my spine, head, if my hammies and glutes are engaged or not, where the weight is shifted on the foot, every single rep is identical and I can totally tell what a rep should feel like.
>>35527220
>first
how long have you been lifting, and how long have you been aiming towards a competition squat? What are your numbers squat and dead?
also brief training history?
I might have an idea for a solution but i need a bit more.
>>35527196
At yer service, laddie.
Looks like you have a wee bit of knee valgus tho.
Anyone else feel that Sheiko is not doing much for deadlifts?
Skills test in 3 weeks, but still. I wonder what will happen.
>>35527362
I thought that but then on skills test day I hit a 14lb PR so then I stopped thinking that
>>35527284
Had some lifting experience for 4 years in general but fooled around with bb shit. Started SS last February.
Best number I reached on the squat was 3x5x110kg in late May. After that came some patellar tendonitis cause I was grinding 3 times a week for many weeks straight on that linear progression. Practically took 5 months to heal completely so restarted in October and built up to 85kg, but was never happy the form all along. I only had like 2 workouts that really felt good on the squat. Decided to switch to high bar recently and even 65kg feels weird.
Deadlift pretty much went perfect all along and reached a PB of 5 singles x 160kg on TM recently. Got sick of the program though along with the really slow upper body lifts progression and started Strength Theory's Intermediate DUP program, currently running week 1.
>>35527373
I fucking hope this is true so much you don't even know anon
>>35527196
please be cutting
>>35527388
what? that I actually got a 14lb PR?
or that sheiko does enough?
>>35527362
Are you doing a 3 day program?
>>35527346
I do. It's been getting better over time so I'm not too concerned.
>>35527398
I am now. I cut from 140kg to 100kg then took a break to eat around maintenance because of the holidays and sheiko, now I'm back to cutting.
I'm drafting ideas on bench programming, here's some notes:
Deload then 3x8
5x5
3x5 + 5x8 Assistance
Examples
3x8x50 = 1200
5x5x60 = 1500
3x5x62.5 = 937.5 / 5x8x22.5 = 900 =1837.5
Volume is greatest on the last option, however nothing is stopping me from doing assistance on the first or second option, Assitance volume would just have to be less as not to over work myself. Which may be better due to specificity.
What I don't know is how much volume is ideal for progression and muscle growth.
Where do I find that shit out?.????q
>>35527411
Yes. Why?
>>35527374
Female I take it?
as for tendonitis, a good counter to that is fish oil and Glucoseamine chondroitin.
Have you tried sheiko style pause squats? I feel strongly that they're the best bang for your buck in making one confident in the squat.
Basically, you go to about 50-70% (working up) and do sets of 1-3, and you pause at the sticky point. for a long pause.
>benchbeta
>joffbitch
>topcuck100
>panzertwink
When will these DYEL faggots leave PLG
How much volume is ideal for bench progression?
What number???
What's the unit for volume?
>>35527533
I second this motion
The betabrigade needs to leave
>>35527480
Deadlifting once a week isnt that optimal, at least for me. Also I found breaking the dl to pulls to knees and block pulls didnt work for my conventional when I did that for a while after injuring my groin. Iirc norse had issues with conventional block pulls too.
You can add a 4th day and do light-ish deadlifts and some bb fluff.
tl;dr low dl frequency and most of sheiko's atheletes pulling sumo
>>35527450
What's the point of doing 3x8 vs 5x5. It's the same amount of reps.
>sets of 6 beltless front squats
literally hitler
>>35527533
The laughing Pepe's correspond to which of you I am thinking of and laughing at in order.
>>35527496
Pause going up or down?
Just did a pretty easy as shit single at 96.5% of what I thought was my at best grindy 1RM bench, tested not that long ago. Lel can't complain
>>35527557
Metabolic stress.
3x8 is a harder workout at the same load.
>>35527557
Heavier weight on 5x5. allows for greater volume
>>35527496
> 4chan
> female
nah just a mere male weakling
My mistake with tendonitis was not doing active rehab and progressive loading, I opted for total rest thinking it would be best but the tendon practically totally detrained and I had like 2-3 attempts of returning earlier to squatting and stopped because of the pain but the last time I realised that it's that kind of pain that you are expected to get through at the initial rehab stages and then it pretty fixed itself. Also I really worked on hip and ankle mobility to improve my mechanics in the meanwhile.
>sheiko style pause squats
No, I haven't.
>pause at the sticky point
Sticky as in midway of ascent?
> 50-70% (working up)
Working up to 50-70% or working up from 50-70 to heavy singles/doubles/triples? Suppose it's the first since the long pause will highly increase the difficulty of the lift?
>>35527533
I wish they would just leave
>>35527401
That I'll feel shaky about it and still PR.
Because my dl hasn't felt that great lately
Anyone here used slow reps like these? Not just for deadlifts, but for squats and bench as well.
>>35527539
in the text book "infinity"
In practice, as much as you can handle. or you MRV (Maximum Recoverable Volume)
But if you're a beginner or even intermediate, you probably don't even need that much to get a stimulus.
>>35527578
Pause going up. So start the squat, descend, come out of the hole, then pause halfway up (the usual sticking spot)
You'll feel very quickly if your hips or knees are in the wrong spot, and you won't be able to maintain that position unless you fix it. Once its fixed, HOLD that position for a minute for some of dat der muscle memory.
>>35527610
see what i wrote above, and yse midway of ascent.
and work up to 50-70 %. I think 70% is a great number if you're not beat up to hit them at.
>>35527593
Please tell me more about metabolic stress.
I've not heard of this before and wish to learn.
>>35527554
Is there a 4 day template?

>>35527607
Maybe I expressed it wrong, but I meant what's the point of doing 3x8 in that context.
>>35527639
No, but I'm REALLY thinking about trying this for deadlift to unfuck my shit
>>35527639
Some people at the powerlift clinics I attend advice for it. They're all Dutch champs (Equipped and nonequipped), Jordi Snijder, Pjotr Van Den Hoek and Henk Keizer.
>>35527640
> You'll feel very quickly if your hips or knees are in the wrong spot, and you won't be able to maintain that position unless you fix it. Once its fixed, HOLD that position for a minute for some of dat der muscle memory.
That sounds like a great idea, thanks for helping
>there are people that still think bodorio is natty
Ahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhhahahahahahahahaah
>>35527659
I don't know, that's why I'm asking.
I can't break this bench plateau and I'm dying for any progression.
>>35527654
Fanks bruv. I'm pretty hype
>>35527647
>Is there a 4 day template?
Multiple, you can find them and the russian athlete classifications at the sheiko website. They generally have more volume and are longer.
>Also, what would you recommend on the 4th day? And what day to do it? mon/wed/fri/sat?
Light deadlifts and maybe some light benching, assistance exercises, or some rehab stuff. Personally I do light deads, very light ohp, light-ish pause deads and some rehab stuff like facepulls.
>>35527685
What weight are you stuck at? What program are you running/have you run? What's your bw?
>>35527664
[spoiler]try them for squats too m8 pls[/spoiler]
>>35527669
Do they give reasons for why? I had a pic from somewhere that listed a few reasons for doing slow reps, but cba finding it atm. Would like to know if they give the same reasons.
>>35527678
>>35527578
>>35527610
These. I would suggest going a bit slower both up and down, and holding the pause about 1.5 - 2 X as long as I did.
Rate my squat platform
I plan to lift in the IPF.
what kind of testing do they do, is it urine?
i dont do any steroids or shit, but i do allot of benzos and often smoke cannabis. whats up with that?
>>35527736
Lad you look like youre rushing the fuck out of those squats.
>>35527736
norse your squat was prettier before
>>35527754
Those WILL pop you hot m8.
the IPF follows WADA rules, and I know cannabis is on there, and I would be surprised if Benzos weren't.
>>35527758
because I am.
>>35527774
Because they were.
>>35527812
so is it urine testing or hair ????
>>35527722
Mostly technique work, but they claim it helped them get a LOT stronger.
>>35527823
everything
urine, blood, hair etc
>>35527823
urine
>>35527681
dont laugh at me
>>35526222
i've been lifting for a year now and can deadlift 200kg. If you cant deadlift 300kg+ you're nowhere near our strongest anons.
>>35527832
are you fucking serious? how often do they test, obviously i wont be setting world records and shit. but what if it was for setting a national standard record?
>>35527836
so if i stop shit about 40 days before i compete ill do ok?
>>35527862
I don't know, I've never had to worry about it because I'm not a degenerate.
they test randomly at even local meets
>was looking for a specific webm and found this gem
how the FUCK did i even bench 350, let alone 400 lbs like this?! its a fucking front delt raise lel
>>35527823
I've only ever had urine tests. I think they can test anything they want, but the standard for random testing at events is probably just Urine
>>35527722
I will. theres no reason to not try them on anything. I just think my squats probably a lost cause, where as my deadlift needs to be brought back to where it was before.
>>35527862
>but what if it was for setting a national standard record?
probably only piss
if doing recreational drugs is this important to you, maybe you should take a look at your life and see if they really belong
>>35527754
Cannabis is only prohibited in comp
Drop the benzos and you're fine
>>35527888
Im competiting in 3 months or so, so if i dont do anything starting today i should be alright for a piss test.
It aint that easy mate.
>>35527882
you didn't. if you look closely in the background some guy starts deadlifting the barbell you're holding halfway through your lift.
Lads my sheiko app keeps crashing on me when I try to customize a program. Boris pls.
>>35527898
Alright perfect, should be fine then.
Is it piss test then?
>>35527912

m9. its retardedly obvious i didn't get that one. Note how the filename says attempt lol.
I DID get it in comp though with that same movement pattern, which is what i was referencing. my bad, didn't clarify.
>>35525029
finally deadifted 3pl8 today. Got 2 solid reps. Heaviest I ever went was 275. I kept having to drop weight and reset because my form would break down beyond 275 while pulling conventional. Switched to sumo last week and it feels great. Why did nobody tell me how awesome sumo was?
>>35527932
They're certainly better than this from six/seven weeks ago

How similar is a deadlift bar to a weightlifting bar in terms of whip?

I *really* want to meet Knut someday. It'd be fun!
>>35528033
are you a lying piece of shit or just cool enough that they know about each other and don't care?
I apparently got a lot more gains out of Sheiko than test days showed me. The peaking month didnt work at all for me, and apparently fatigue dissipation by test day wasn't there either.
Just randomly a lot stronger than I thought I were few weeks after
>>35528029
We went for burgers after
That is a bad picture of her actually
And she unironically has a crush on me. And somehow the rest of GB intl team knows this.
>>35527926
It's a template lad. Changing things for a good reason is fine.
>>35528077
Honest to god, judging by the above webm, if she got her nutrition under control I bed she would be VERY hot. not joking.
>the hamplanet has a crush on you
dear god do I know this feeling.....literally the story of my entire life. its fucking frustrating as hell.
>>35528075
please please PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this be how it works for me too. I'm relatively aware of whats going to happen on saturday when I do my mock meet...But i would be so fucking happy if I could hit real numbers, or better yet, if my deadlift came back magically after a couple weeks off of it....
>>35528067
I don't see why you wouldn't
>>35528033
I was accidentally guilty of this for a bit. about a week really.

We should try not being fat and then they'd know better
>something in my back keeps tightening up during sets of 3 or more of bench
this is getting annoying desu
>>35528075
Me too 2bh. Fucked around for couple of weeks and suddenly hit prs.
>>35528075
I fucked up my competition in my skills test by doing not two but THREE heavy deadlifts.
Next time im just gonna touch 100% and see how it feels.

At least norsie has always been fat. You consciously chose to become fat.

believe in you desu, go smesh it
my progress "went to shit" with sheiko but i kept thinking "this is better long term", but now i've been absolutely smoking singles very close to my tested sheiko maxes
>>35528156
good feel isn't it? i'm not hitting pr's, just doing my current programming (rpe based), working up to like an @8 i keep asking "why isn't this heavy this is supposed to be a grinder at best)
>>35528159
didn't you make sick gains anyway?
>>35528183
you posted an anime webm.
That hurt me.
>>35528144
....w-what?
>>35528164
your chest goes up and thus your knees come forward because you're looking straight forward. set your eyes lower.
>>35528192
>didn't you make sick gains anyway?
Sure did. But my performance on competition day could definitely have been better.
>>35528193
I didnt even know it was anime. That's how little of a weeb I am.
Deleting the .gif right now.
>>35528196
.....friend :(
>>35528217
j-just give it to me s-straight, whats wrong?
>>35528212
I am kinda keeping my head a bit high yeah, thnx I'll give it a go next squat session
>>35528192
I hit a 15kg squat pr out of nowhere and matched my skills test sumo max on conventional. Injured my hip so cant pull max effort sumo yet.
>>35528240
;-;
>>35527220
doing more squats, I had that too at first, then i added a "dynamic" day where i just do 8x3 or 10x2 squats with 80% of 1rm, focussing on speed and form
>>35528217
Well, leaves big PR's for the next time you hop on the platform. continuing sheiko?
>>35528250
congrats, really curious to try my squat later, i kept thinking i had to have misloaded last time around but nope
>>35528259
press F to pay respects
>>35528279
Yup. Competing on what would be skills test day in april.
>>35528149
yeah, this has ALWAYS been my problem.
I think i'm pretty good looking, and I actually wear my weight when i'm fat pretty damn well, especially in clothes.
fat chicks cream all over that shit because they think instinctively "that might be the perfect combo of just outside of my league but still attainable"
its a horrible thing to say but when you see it literally day in and day out in 100 different scenarios you sniff it out pretty fast.
god i'm sick of being fat fuck this lol
>>35528151
man, I can't keep the side muscles in my legs / glutes from cramping during benching.
I also have problems with back knots / back cramping if I arch too hard.
>>35528164
honestly doesn't look too bad man. there's a little bit of forward travel but its really not THAT bad.
>>35528166
f-f-fuck you a-anon
>>35528192
wait, so are you saying now that you're off of sheiko things are better?
Would you say sheiko is still better for long term progress?
or would you retract that statement?
>>35528217
Bodorio idk if you were here but i went on a mini rant about you.
Its not fair and thinking about you makes me very angry. (not in an unfriendly way, just frustration)
alot of people run sheiko and do well, but you don't just do well - you fucking THRIVE in sheiko it seems. Its just not fair.
All I did was crash and burn, get injured and fuck shit up while you just plunge in and get great returns.
My assumptions were:
>i think bodorio is built better for this
>I can't speak for his schedule, but you never bitch about school / life stresses like me or some people do (this could simply be life perception, or me just being a bitch, or maybe you really did have a less stressful situation)
>you are MUCH much smarter than you lets on in regards to how to control programming, as in it comes much more intuitively to you
>I also think that you handle stress MUCH more effectively. You don't panic, I do. tl;dr I'm high strung
I'm curious on your thoughts?
>three plate
>soon
Took three weeks of gym and on Monday i worked on my benchpress Today i want to bench again but i'm still sore what do?
>>35528324
Hyped for you lad, some day you have lerned
>>35528217
I should add that i truthfully hold no animosity towards you. Its purely self frustration and envy.
>>35528029
Should I expect to pull more or less or is it individual?
>>35528301
>>>35528164
>honestly doesn't look too bad man. there's a little bit of forward travel but its really not THAT bad.
any thoughts/suggestions regarding the wink ?
>>35528375
>more or less
wtf? relative to what lol
I assume you mean
>if i normally pull on an eleiko / stiff comparable bar, and i was going to switich to either a WL or DL bar, which one would i pull more on
I would say the deadlift bar would give you the most hands down. i think the overall whippyness is pretty similar, but the DL bar has the added length which gets pretty rediculous under heavy loads. I also should point out that the heavier your dealdift is, the more you'll get out of a DL bar I think.
>>35525029
How do I not psych my self out when trying to break a PR? I've been doing Candito's 6 week strength program to get past my 2pl8. But when the weights started to get heavy in week 5, I got so nervous I was shaking. I was supposed to get 220x1-4. I got 2 reps, but I think I could've done better if I wasn't so nervous. When I started, my projected 1RM was 227, but never actually benched more than 210. I've been lifting for 2 and a half years, but whenever I got close to 2 pl8, I had surgery and pretty much start over. Had surgery 2 summers in a row.
>>35528301
>also think that you handle stress MUCH more effectively. You don't panic, I do. tl;dr I'm high strung
Probably the one with the most truth in it. Physically its far from easy. But I know that you can be VERY fatigued and fucked up and still recover from the peaking. This summer after a guy won nationals and got a pretty easy 800kg total, I asked him what kind of training he does in the locker room. He also went on a mini-rant about young lifters who dont know what volume is. Then he pointed out that in training he was doing HEAVY 2 rep 255kg grinders in the deadlift. I was blown away, he picked up 320kg like it was nothing in the competition. So I re-evaluated my opinion on how bad it really is to be #rekt in training. He also posted a vid with a fairly easy 330kg a week after.
I may seem to thrive in sheiko, but I think I most of all handle it pretty well mentally. Where were times, especially in large load 2(CMS/MCIS 4day) where everything hurt and I had to grind out otherwise ridiculously easy weights. Knowing that a guy who thought 255kg doubles were tough in training could pick up 330kg from the ground made it very easy not to panic.
My situation is also not very stressful, from what I've seen you write about school etc your education is more stressful than mine for sure. Stress shows itself as insomnia for me, because when I'm in bed is the only time in the day where I'm actually allowing myself to feel. It comes with "clearing my mind" and takes some real fucking meditation to get over(if I ever get over it)
>you are MUCH much smarter than you lets on in regards to how to control programming, as in it comes much more intuitively to you
I'm very "learning by doing"- oriented. Usually I cant get anything through my thick skull without trying it myself, and since I'm not super eager to try new things that makes me feel pretty dumb at times.
>>35527827
Found it. Don't really know how reliable the guy is, but he's fairly popular in Norway and has written three books on training, and runs some personal training education or whatever.
Directly translated:
Slow and paused reps:
>better feel for the technique
>better stability and control
>better positional tolerance
Hypotheses:
>better capacity in the heaviest/most difficult positions
>lower intensity = lower recovery demands and less taxing on the CNS? (Or maybe he means "less effect on the CNS", it's not entirely clear.)
>simulation of max attempts/heavy weights
Practical application
>spend more time in the position the lifter is weaker in
>>35528301
>you're off of sheiko things are better?
I think it's better for me, currently, as a lifter. Sheiko seemingly gave me a lot of gains without me realizing, but learned now I was pretty shit at handling heavy weights and I need to get used to it/get this extra practice. This may just be a mental thing where maybe I didn't do the lifts as I should have with non Sheiko weights on the bar. So I'm developing things that translate to bigger numbers. Pretty sure you don't have this problem at all so it's v. individual to me.
>Would you say sheiko is still better for long term progress?
I'd bet it still is but I just need some self-coaching first to really benefit from it. Because my progress was masked and I didn't know I could've gone into 3-4 months lifting with maxes far too low, and I don't fucking know when it's "too easy" or "too hard", I just did the programme
tl;dr i think i'll return to sheiko one day but need to mature more as a lifter first
>>35528374
I got that.
You are very tough on yourself. I've seen many self-hate rants of yours and I dont see what you see, I see someone far better than you seem to do when thinking about norsie.
There are things in my life that are objectively pathetic. If I can help it I attempt to change it, if I dont, then I dont think about it.
I'm pretty zen about things, but I wasnt zen about things 2-3years ago. You can learn to be zen desu.
>There are things in my life that are objectively pathetic. If I can help it I attempt to change it, if I dont, then I dont think about it.
f-friend...
>>35528484
>There are things in my life that are objectively pathetic.
I know what you're talking about and you're wrong
>>35528515
>I know what you're talking about
Not really. Maybe part of them.
>>35528475
to add to that, I'm curious how doing this much more specific RTS training will turn out
in a way it feels similar to sheiko workouts but instead of finishing with flyes and good mornings i finish with front squats and deadlifts or whatever
>>35528432
Oh my bad, I thought I had already explained.
I've pulled on a very stiff bar and a WL bar and I have a strongman show coming up with a max deadlift on a deadlift bar. The goal is to pull 500, I've done 470 on the weightlifting bar.
>>35525029

Set your goal higher.
Anyone's got an explanation for what happened with my squat two days ago?
>set PR in march last year - 155kg
>continue lifting as usual, but focus on DL so squat stalls completely
>haven't lifted properly since august because of travel & judo comp preparation
>squatted exactly twice since late nov
>not even doing any effort, just 3x3x2plate
>start squatting two days ago
>feels light man
>more plates
>repeat
>eventually squat 170kg high bar
Tl;dr: 15kg squat PR after barely having lifted for 4 months. How? Deadlift is actually 5.5plate, so my squat finally seems to be catching up at last, but how the fuck is this possible? Even feels like I could've eked out lmao4plate.
