It is actually 'yogue,' as in 'that dashing young rogue just ate all my yogue.'
Did anyone try Izzy's novice routine?
Mon, Wed, Fri
Squat 2x4+6 RPE 9
Bench 3x4-6 RPE 9
Deadlift 1x4-6 RPE 9
Sat
Rows, abs, mobility
Stopped lifting for about 6 months so I'm giving this a go to get back in the swing of things.
Thoughts?
A friend of mine told me that he broke his bench plateau by doing two regular sets of five reps, and then after the third rep he immediately deload to half of the weight and then do 8-10 reps with it.
Is this a good method or did he just bro out and get lucky?
>>35642125
I ran it but couldn't run it properly
>>35642152
and then after the third set*
>>35642125
I like the idea of stopping before failure even on a novice program, and how he has you progressing at a slower rate if you're at the lower end of the prescribed reps. Also that it has conditioning as an obligatory part of the program.
>>35642152
Retarded as fuck, stop hanging around retards
>>35642152
Huh, will more volume help your bench?
Gee wiz, I don't fucking know.
>>35642164
Why?
I should also add that I throw in a max set of chins at the end of the Mon, wed and Fri sessions.
>>35642240
It required
>micro plates
>you to do conditioning
I wasn't about to buy or do either lmao
>>35642314
Fair enough.
Microplates are pretty useful for things like bench and OHP

>>35643294
lovely
tell him anon said hello
I'm still shit with my squat technique. I heard Ed Coan day to open up your groin but I just can't wrap my head around what he means. Anyway someone could explain it in a way that makes sense to a mongoloid like me?
>>35643344
Um that's pretty much the best way. Open your knees and sink between your hips instead of sitting on top of them.
>>35643344
less knee travel wider stance
>>35643031
M8 the couch stretch is hardcore, loosen up a bit first with the lunge stretch
you're going 0-100 real quick
>>35642125
I am in my 3rd month of it and I love it. I love the conditioning days since I can keep all of that out of my heavy days and just focus on the big three.
I messaged Izzy about front squats and ohp for the light days. He said it shouldn't be a problem so that's what I do for my Wednesdays.
The micro loading has been the game changer. As well as the program fitting to me and how I feel on any given training day.
Stats for those who care:
Start weight: 197lbs
Squat: 180x1
Bench: 145 x3
Deadlift: 250 x2
Current weight: 195lbs
Squat: 255x5
Bench: 189x3
Deadlift: 345x5

Really sore/painful as in DOMS sore rear delt that started during the workout and was getting progressively worse, became tighter few hours post workout and had literally innumerable trigger points on it that I used a lacrosse ball to deal with. Also made internal rotation as in reaching to my oppossite shoulder blade from the back more difficult. Is it a tendon from my rotator cuff or a rotator cuff/delt muscle?
>>35643344
Imagine the feeling you get in your hips/groin doing this stretch, then imagine squatting while replicating that feeling. Your hips/groin have to allow more travel sideways and your knees will angle out more.
>>35643613
what happened?
only time i failed a deadlift opener was because i done the rep, started lowering it, remembered i had to hold it pulled it back up, realised i fucked up and put it down lol
you getting videos btw?
>>35643613
Did you pull with your powerlifts on again :^)
>>35643647
Not him but that's actually a really good kinesthetic awareness cue, will try to use, thanks
>>35643659
I pulled it and just before lockout I fell forward and recovered but it counted as downward movement
>>35643678
think you had more in you for the total or were you pushing the limit?
also just realised i squat more than you, deadlift more than you and you still out total me lol , good job today lad
what about the weigh in? you still go up a class?
>>35643647
OP of that question here.
This is amazing. I am at the gym niw and just tried it. I did the stretch and tried some squats, it just clicked.

>>35643797

rare joe meet Pepe
http://sketchtoy.com/66476576
>>35643812
I did the important one first. Push press is just for giggles, so it's not going to get priority.
>>35643797
The downside to high frequency/high intensity work is that you detrain stupid fast compared to other routines, least in my experience.
Combine that with the frequency and shit gets painful whenever you take a break.
>>35643934
So it would seem.
It's weird, because my frequency didn't seem all that high to me (3x/wk for each lift). But I guess it's because I'm using the muscles daily (alternating between squat+bench and deadlift+press).
Good thing I'm going to school soon, and all my friends are graduated. I'll have lots of time for lifting with no social life.
Oh wait, I'm cutting this semester.
Is there anything wrong with cutting out low bar squats and only doing front squats? My FS to low bar ratio is shit (65%) and whenever I fail low bar squats its because of leaning forward too much, caused by quad weakness. Front squats also target my upper back and core, which are other weak spots for me
Would working only on my front squats cause my low bar to go up? the posterior chain would be covered by diddlylifts
>>35644132
That can work, but once you do bring lowbar squats back in it might take a while to hit some PRs because you'll need to get back in the groove.
Totalled 1345 lads.
Meet vid probably tomorrow morning, but the short version is
Lifetime PR squat
Meet PR bench and dead
At a squat seminar rn desu
>>35644132
ive tried that
I'd certainly rec that you back squat no less than once every 10-14 days .. once a week would be good
>>35644132
It's not a huge deal to do front squats as your main movement, but I'd suggest doing light low bar sets once or twice per week, just to keep the groove. Maybe do some speed work or something.
>>35644175
>out bench you by 50lbs
>you out total me by 145
>>35644175
congrats alex! Do you think you left some weight on the platform or were your attempts on point?
>>35644181
maybe now you'll be able to squat 2x bodyweight
huehuehuehue
>>35644210
how did your attempts feel? the squat looked pretty hard but the bench and dead looked pretty easy.
>>35644263
Yea squat was a grind.
Both my other thirds felt too easy, but were supposed to have been risky jumps
So I posted a pic of my macros last night bc I just started following them but myfitnesspal messed up and didn't include the protein or carbs in one of my sandwiches. So this is how it actually broke down and I think I'm pretty happy with this for never tracking calories or macros and eating whatever I want.
>>35644155
>>35644182
>>35644186
thanks mateys gonna crush some front squats right now
>>35644263

Nice lad wew
>>35644958
Alex really is a talented lad.
I was planning on doing a local meet next Saturday but i'm having second thoughts after having a terrible peak.
Last meet I went 225/117.5/240 for 6/9.
I'm hitting openers later today which I have planned at 205/120/230.
Problem is I failed a 215 squat (~95%) 2 weeks ago and could barely squat 200 (89%) yesterday. I also failed a 235 deadlift (~95%) on Wednesday. Bench is feeling good though.
I'm hoping it's just from too much fatigue and i'll feel good on meet day.
Has anyone had a super shitty peak that lead to a good meet?
>>35644987
He's going to continue to get better too unlike a certain other trip
>>35644990
>Has anyone had a super shitty peak that lead to a good meet?
Yes, it's pretty common.

Squatted today. Erectors weren't as painful as they had been. Did 65% for 3x8 and felt a little big of a quad pump and tired hip flexors for the first time in my life. Erectors still were sore (on both sides) for about 40 mins afterwards. At first glance I'd say stretching is helping. Thoughts?
>>35645577
Keep in mind he weighs 100lbs more than you

If it's helping so far, then keep it up lad
But I wouldn't say that APT is 100% the root cause imo
Try getting it checked out by someone, since it could be an underlying issue I don't know about. Keep up the stretching though anyway, since it's helped a little so far, and wouldn't hurt you for the time being.
If you end up figuring out what fixes it, please tell me, cause it'd be good to learn about

I'm torn, because I look at the WSM competitors (Bjornsson, Shaw, Kazmaier, and Sigmarsson are my favorites), and I say, "I want to be that. There is no other thing I want more than to be the biggest and strongest person possible."
But I just don't think I can justify the dosages needed (if any), so I'm forever limited to the mortal capacity.
Can you lads think of any reason that squat make my knees feel like they want to explode? I get tons of crackles and pops and lots of pressure. My heels are firmly planted on the ground as confirmed by many spotters.
>>35646194
Perhaps powerlifting isn't for you bud? Perhaps try a different hobby more suited towards your forte such as rock collecting
>>35646226
But I would still need to train so I could lift my rocks.

I'm hovering around 3/2/4 right now at 225ish (kinda stopped weighing myself regularly since I'm mostly maintaining without counting calories or anything).
I'm pretty fat at the moment, so I'm hoping to drop at least 15lb in the coming semester, then do bulk/cut cycles between 200 and 215 until I'm not so fat. I'm also going to up my volume a bit, since I'm only averaging around 0.9-1.0 INOL/week on each lift. Steadily adding 5-10lb per month, but I could obviously go faster than that.
>cutting feels
wew
>>35646510
Well you should have some easy gains in your future, both cutting and lifting.
>>35646194
Pretty normal, not everyone has great knees. Mine are the same way, but I don't notice anything when I have my SBDs
>>35646541
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the consistency and low stress of school. It'll be great for my progress as a lifter, and I'll be doing experimentation with my westside conjugate stuff. Ironically, the more I've been tweaking it to improve results, the more it looks like TM. Go figure.
2015 was a rough year, so I'm trying to look forward.
>>35646420
Make sure your neighbors don't see you prancing about in a skirt.
>>35646570
If you're primarily doing it for Strongman purposes, making it look more like TM is quite possibly making it worse as a program.
>>35646570
2015 was great for me fitness wise, shot in every other way.
This year should be good though...
>>35646572
And if they do, well, the old "plaid kilt in the breeze" strategy will guarantee you uninterrupted workouts and plenty of personal space.
Least till they call the cops.
>>35646579
>westside conjugate for strongman
Hadn't really considered that...
No, I'm just doing it to get stronger in general while having some fun on the way. I would like to try some strongman stuff eventually, but my primary goal right now is that 500lb deadlift while being slightly less fat.
I'm not even sure I want to do powerlifting... I like the sport, but I don't feel much desire to compete. I'm just not a competitive person, and I don't like being in front of a crowd.
>>35646590
That's the spirit. Cautious, fragile optimism.
>>35646634
>I'm just not a competitive person, and I don't like being in front of a crowd.

wew
>>35646650
wew indeed.
Not sure how I'd handle that. I guess be really conservative with your openers? It's a really big change in scenery, so it might be beneficial to lowball stuff in case you're thrown off your game.
>>35646634
Conjugate (and some conjugate-derived setups, like Cube) tend to work pretty well for Strongman, because the things about it that are usually flaws for raw powerlifting play into the things a Strongman needs to develop.
Its not identical to how a geared PLer would do it, but there's arguably more overlap than between raw PLing and strongman.
>>35646692
Interdasting. Maybe I'd be better at strongman than powerlifting, lel.
>tfw Icelandic genes
>>35646725
Generally, if you've got it in you to be good at one you've got it in you to be good at the other. Maybe not exactly identical, but not a massive difference in most cases.
Unfortunately, being 6'0 can be one of those cases. Depending on what weight classes the promoters nearby use.
>>35646843
Can you elaborate on that second point? I'm pretty tired.
>>35646870
6'0 is kind of a rough height to be in Strongman. You're generally too short to be super competitive in the open weight category, but too tall to be super competitive in the u-105kg/231lb class (where most of the best are ~5'7 or so). Some promoters throw in an extra weight class around 120 or 130kg, but its not part of the 'official' weight classes used in the big competitions in most places.
PLing at least gives you a couple of heavier weight classes before you're lumped in with the elephants.
>>35646609
>>35646572
>buying a house with neighbors closer than a mile
Do people seriously consider having "neighbors" when they buy houses?
>>35646903
Thanks.
I figured I was too short to be competitive in strongman, but that's ok. It's just for fun anyway.
I'll have to explore which PL feds are available to me in my areas, but like I said, I'm not sure about competing at all. I know of at least a couple of feds off the top of my head: Revolution Powerlifting Syndicate and some tiny no-name fed in my hometown that only does push-pull because they can't be bothered to transport their only power cage around / out of the gym. I haven't checked their weight classes yet, though.
>>35647014
Almost all feds, exempting the IPF, use the same weight classes. Which for the big guys will be 220/242/275/308/open. IPF is 205/231/265/open.
>>35647096
Thanks. I have a feeling I wouldn't compete IPF though, even if I had the opportunity. I like the strictness of their rules, but I don't like some of the rules themselves (heels-down bench, approved equipment, underwear checks, and probably others).
I would also want to support feds that have both tested and untested divisions, because that makes more sense to me than only allowing one or the other.

nah last time i checked employees weren't even allowed in that area so its gone until construction is over.
>>35648058
Time to bulk until you can walk through walls.
Today's session with the thing was easy again, but my knee's acting up. I'm trying some mobility shit to see if that takes care of it, if not it's a good excuse to switch back to flats/belt/wide and just start chasing numbers with the thing.
>>35648104
aren't you doing it with >400lbs? beltless as well?

>>35648112
Yeah, today was 445 x 5 x 5 beltless, paused, and ATGish (read: not nuts to the floor, but well below parallel). Full meme indeed.
>>35648142
jesus lad. i think Garret Blessings only does like 425?
your quads must be getting #swole
I need all the literature I can get on improving my arch in my bench, and bench form in general. Mobility stuff, set up techniques, etc. My arch is a shit.
>>35648165
They are actually noticeably bigger since I started faffing about with the SSB. The biggest improvement's actually been my bracing, with a straight bar my legs and hips were always good for more than I could lock into position. That could be as much a product of the block pulls as of the SSB, though.
>>35648207
reee i really think the SSB would help me, hope i can screw around with it soon.

Still feels weird to go up to do a work set beltless, it's like something clicks in my mind when I put it on.

Fuuuck why is he wearing that shirt desu? Saw CWS earlier today
>>35648272
Because he wants a head the size of a boulder when he grows up and he thinks CWS will tell him the secret.
Because they always wear shirts with each other's brands and shit.

BRB training with the conjugate method, I just need twelve sets of bands, enough chains to seal off a junkyard, and more plys than a Charmin factory.
>>35648317
some 74kg lad that trains at my gym and is quite strong just started messing around with conjugate-esque stuff. he sets up this bizarre band contraption with dumbbells and bumpers and stuff just to do a few submaximal deadlifts its really bizarre.

>>35648389
well ideally you've already begun your peak and have all your programming already prepared, because there's not much you can do about that now. The night before make sure you pack everything you need. It'll probably be a long day so make sure you bring enough food and water to last. You'll need knee length socks and probably briefs so if you don't have them, get them. Think about what you want your attempts to be, and allow small changes depending on how the weight feels on the day. Try your best to get enough sleep the night before, but bring caffeine anyway. Don't overdo it this week in training and maybe take a day or two completely off before your meet. Make sure you're familiar with all the calls. Smash your weights and meet new people.

I have a huge man crush on bryce, I can't stop thinking about him. What should I do?
>>35648943
I won't post my next workout then. Don't want to bully my friend boardshorts.

>>35648960
Ask him out
>>35649116
Subtlety is for lightweights like boardie.
In completely unrelated news, rolling my IT bands and glutes is unpleasant.
>>35649127
quads are always the worst for me. Also for some reason when i roll my gracilis (?) muscle i get strange, sharp pain in my center quad, so that also sucks.
>>35647920
This post brought to you by bryce blom
>>35649137
You sure you're rolling your gracilis? The pain referral from the Gracilis shouldn't go to the Vastus intermedius or rec fem tbqh
>>35649137
It feels nice when I start on the outside of the leg up near the hip, but then I get down towards the knee and it goes from oddly relaxing to mildly uncomfortable to making me wonder if I'm damaging myself in some way. Feels magical when I'm done though.
>mfw I realize this is going to go from an interesting, if slightly masochistic novelty to something I need to do regularly and derive no joy from
>>35649183
according to kelly starrett, foam rolling should never hurt, so if it does you need to do it more. So i think that means you probably aren't damaging yourself, more fixing yourself.
>>35649165
i'm truly not sure i just know its my upper, inner thigh towards the back. the pain i get is pretty deep too.
>>35649206
Where abouts are you getting the pain and how are you rolling it?
>>35649206
>you probably aren't damaging yourself, more fixing yourself
I figured, I just underestimated the amount of fixing I required. Who wants to be a supple leopard anyway? I'll just be a rigid bear.
>>35649238
i'm rolling it up and down (from the glute insertion to the knee insertion and back). The pain is either in the rectus femoris, the sartorius, or underneath them. Sometimes i get the pain when i'm not foam rolling from back squats or sumo deadlifts, but foam rolling the inner, upper, back thigh is the most consistent way to trigger it.
>>35649206
>according to kelly starrett
intothetrashitgoes.jpg
>>35649259
Is the pain right through all of rec fem/vastus intermedius? Or just in 1 portion of the quad, for example is it right above the knee mostly?
>left biceps twitching like fuck
lel wat
>>35649274
its like dead center in the quad relative to both the knee and the hip and the left and right side. relatively small area of pain.
>TSA update
Week 1 done (which was easy as fuck) and week 2 received. Feels like a hypertrophy phase with DUP, 2x/week for DL and squats. Squats for sets of 7-8, DLs for 4-5. Bench 3x/week, anything from sets of 8 to 5's to working up to a single set of moderately heavy 5s.
Vids I sent in initially had me basically losing my position in the DL (back rounding at start). To no one's surprise I have a lot of back work (mostly rows) and at least W1 I had pause deadlifts programmed. Also RDL's as assistance (no idea why dont know this exercise) as well as decline weighted situps (really no idea why). Finally some leg press as well, suspect it's to help strength off the floor or possibly just general strength in the squat too.
tl;dr mostly main lifts with little variation with some assistance sprinkled on top, trusting the bryce magic but cant say i know why im doing what im doing
>>35649292
Weird, none of the referral pain patterns for any adductor muscles refer to the middle of the thigh
If you figure it out tell me, cause it's fun learning, but it might be a nerve issue that's referring pain, which is something I have no idea about desu
My bad for wasting your time lad
