anyone here have or had tendinitis? Specifically in the elbow
How did you fix it fast? Any advice? Mines fairly minor at the moment but I still plan on lifting...

Just smashed a deadlift PR 485x3 freedom units
Opinions on making loud noises when hitting a PR in a public gym?
What if I am a weakling who only squats 112.5kg?
>>35935060
Have you ever had tendinitis?
>>35935078
does it help you? then do it
>>35934911
How do I increase pullup?
>>35935079
Yes. Had a one year struggle with it in my right pec
Did too much high intensity bench I think
>>35935096
3*5 weighted pull-ups (even tho wide grip chin-ups are superior)
I started doing these, started low, couldn't break past 5kg added for a week or two. Then I just added 2.5kg because I wanted to progress and that felt easier than 5kg and then it started shooting up and and up and up really fast.
So 3x5 + 2.5kg a session. Maybe even max out every so often for fun.
>>35935096
Lots of balloons.
>>35934911
Hey lads, today was my first day at Smolov Jr for bench (fucking easy but I know I may even not finish it bc it will be hard as fuck) and my last training session is on a saturday, and my only bench comp is 8 days after, that is, on sunday, I don't know if 8 days of deaload is too much or if I could hit hard gym on monday (6x6) and then wed 2x5 light and then on sunday the meet.
I don't know what to do, thank you in advance!
I weight 83kg and current bench is just 115kg, I really hope to get 125kg or at least 122.5.
>>35935078
Anything above 2.5 plates on squat starts impressing normies in the gym anyway. Is that 112.5 for reps?
>>35935103
I have a little tendinitis issue in my elbow as was wondering if you had any advice to help me speed up recovery? I've been popping anti inflammatory slime candy and icing and it's called down sort of, but not significantly.
I want to lift, but that means I've only given the tendons like 36hours of rear.
I don't know if I'm setting myself up for failure, but I really, really want to lift.
Advice?
>>35935146
It's hard to combine wanting to lift and wanting to recover from tendinitis unfortunately.
The only cure is to not put stress on the tendon :(
The reason why I struggled with it for a year was because I didnt want to stop
>>35935146
Eat 2 pints ben and jerries. That should fix you right up.
>>35935168
I unironically have already done this since getting tendinitis....
>>35935165
>struggled with it for a year
This is when I post my sad pepe right?
Thanks for the insight though, perhaps I could get away with bandaging up my elbows for a while? (elbow sleeves) Or will that just cover the pain and not help the injury!
>>35935146
Where's the tendinitis dude? Pain for me was around where I put in the pic. For me at least, the pain was simply caused by doing a movement incorrectly (squatting with weight held by arms), and so even because it hurt a little doing it correctly because the tendon was sensitive, it just got better because the stress on it was significantly reduced.
>>35935165
How long did you take off to recover the tendon?
>>35935131
Yeah. Only hit 3 in the end, but it was supposed to be 5.
Anyone here has any experience in dealing with winged scapula or similar shoulder imbalances? If so how did you fix it?
>>35935233
Pretty much identical to your picture, except a little more localised in the centre.
I think the cause of my pain was from tricep work, (J.M. Press) most likely because I was cheating to get the weight up.
My squat style is fairly elbow friendly, but while recovering I'll change it up.
>>35935229
Sorry but I have no idea
>>35935236
I never really did it the right way. I started with sheiko, still had minor pec issues, and it went away.
>>35935229
kwark is it you
>>35935281
no sorry
>>35935275
Thank you very much for the help though

>>35934800
Thanks, I'll definitely try that.
It got me thinking though, how much inward knee movement is warranted during a heavy squat? Obviously I can't keep my knees out all the way up because they wouldn't lockout.
When exactly should they move into their locked out stance?
video games are a sport?

Tendonitis
>>35935352
how much are you squatting
>>35935362
You might be pushing the end of your SS progression. When's the last time you did a deload?
Question about Candito 6 Week, specifically week 2 day 3.
Can I add 5 kg to the the 10x3 backoff squats? Or is this a very stupid idea going into the high intensity phase.
>>35935362
deload and eat a lot. Sounds like you've been working pretty hard and your body may just be getting a little fried.
>>35935362
Dehydrated, bad sleep or bad food, anything like that can really take it out
>>35935376
not enough
>>35935383
if the 10x3's after MR10 isn't punishing enough you should probably increase your program max.
>>35935388
i have never deloaded
i barely lifted today, should i go back in and redo it? or wait till wed

I've noticed a direct correlation between liars and cowards and knee valgus.
>>35935408
just take it ez. I've been hearing a couple things lately about how the general idea of lowering intensity and keeping volume up is mistaken and you should try keeping similar intensity and just cutting volume, but what do I know.

>>35935256
Lots of band pullaparts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVehf-8FAxQ lots of high-rep lat pulldowns. TRX rows are good too, anything where you feel a good rhomboid contraction and scapular retraction.

Should I do Hepburn for both bench and OHP? Will the OHP affect my bench? I was going to do the bench power 8x2->8x3 with the pump work 3x6->3x8. Then just do the power shit for OHP and do the pump work with DB bench since my chest is lagging compared to shoulders.

oops meant >>35934998
>>35935978
The first
If youre a complete beginner, weight gain can be pretty quick and still be healthy though
>>35935988
but option 2 would give you more time to perfect technique with current leverages instead of constant fluctuation, thus relying more on muscle strength rather than technique
>>35935996
That seems like a very tiny and insignificant factor
>>35936010
maybe youre correct
how's it been phil? current program/lifts/bw? any meets planned?
myself im gonna follow your advice and slowly fill out the 105kg class. Been going well in the gym lately hit a triple at 195kg squat, hoping to get 200kg for 3 within 3 months, I got a meet planned for april where I hope 200kg can be my opener. We don't need to talk about my push/pull though :x
>>35935893
Why do OHP? I fucking hate that lift
>>35935916
A good program would have you do different rep ranges for different sessions. I like doubles more.
>>35935978
The first.
>>35935996
The leverages would fluctuate in option 2 also since fat has lower density then muscle.
>>35936038
>how's it been phil?
Its alright desu
>current program/lifts/bw?
sheiko, a variant of CMS/MS
competition: 285/182.5/305
have a 317.5 gym pr deadlift too

Yes, south swedish championships(GM) in april
>>35935492
I have always wondered what the peg things on the bottom side of the powerack was, is that all its used for, resistance bands?
I saw someone playing around with them before but they didn't use any bands and i couldn't figure out what she was doing
what would be decent numbers before considering competing? Junior 90kg class but never done it before
>>35934911
e-sports do not require physical dexterity, and there are literally female only tournaments in CSGO because all the girls that play are shit.
im a semi pro cs player and even i dont agree with half the shit on there. interviews are always awkward as fuck as well.
>>35936117
>90kg class
You mean 93 kg class. And you know what the answer is gonna be - there is no numbers, as long as you can lift the bar you can compete.
>>35936078
I'm probably going to do a variant of cms/ms next too

Wew lads, everything went great today besides my second set on dl where I almost lost my grip because no chalk. Gotta get some straps so I can get all my reps. Did 255 3x12 with the slingshot after my competition bench

>>35936681
I don't pretend to be anything else. Wb your lifts?
>>35936675
Pulled the bar into my back very, very hard. Pecs went numb. Tears were MRI confirmed, so I'm not talking out of my ass. They weren't major tears, I'll be able to get back into lifting this week/next week, but its been a bit since I have.
>>35936675
You don't, but you claim you did because you're desperate for /plg/ to like you even though you're fucking annoying and weak.
>>35936705
Only a whore for Norsie's love, and somewhat for Isley's love. Other than that, no.
>>35936695
Also I should add I almost strained a pec deadlifting again. Last time it happened was at my meet a month ago
Still not sure why
>>35936695
>Gotta get some straps
Ironmind makes the best straps. They charge exorbitant amounts for shipping though, so don't order directly from them.
>>35936745
It's not like its not being used when you deadlift
You guys lift to get strong, right? So why use a bunch of equipment and some bullshit techniques that do half the work for you?
>>35936753
What makes a good strap? I have literally never noticed a difference between different pairs.

>females compete at a similar level to men
>>35936819
I mean if you're bracing your lats, pulling your arms to your side, your pecs are engaged too, since they play a role in pulling the arm toward the body.
>>35936819
>What sets it apart?
probably the cheapest, and theyre made for rock climbers and withstand 18kN of force
>>35936819
>No class will ever watch you squat even though you squat over 2xBW
Just kill me
>>35936818
So you can't justify doing those things? How much can you lift without any equipment, just regular clothes compared to how you regularly do?
>>35936819
>why do movements with proper form to lift more weight?
Arching the fuck out of your back while benching is not proper form, you're just making the ROM shorter.
>>35936851
He's still going, the absolute madman! What a legend.
>>35936777
Besides the material, it's mostly preference. Ironmind's are thinner than most of the other nylon straps. Spud makes good stuff, but they're thick as fuck and turn the bar into a fat bar. You can also just get stuff cut to spec or whatever from some other place.
>>35936819
>They're just little loops that come to a V at the bottom right?
The oly style ones are, yeah. Most of them are normal straps that feed through a loop.
>>35936851
I don't do equipped, but assuming that you're serious, the whole point of powerlifting is to lift the most weight. It's irrelevant how, as long as its within the rules. People can lift a lot more with equipment than they ever will without it.
>>35936878
don't respond lad
>>35936891
Figured I shouldn't, but just in case there was someone that was actually serious about it for once, I figured why not.
>>35936869
If i'm baiting just say why i'm wrong. Should be easy.
>>35936878
>as long as its within the rules
So why are they so broad? Why not just use your body do lift? It's a sport about strenght after all.
>>35936891
Do you enjoy being delusional?
>>35936869
Also, does anyone have the picture of the Death Grips version of this? Thought it was absolutely gold
>>35936922
>Why not just use your body do lift?
I think you misunderstand something. Powerlifters can compete both equipped and unequipped, they're different classes.
>>35936838
Just odd to me that that would be what gets strained. That's like straining lats in the bench or abs in the squat
>>35936841
I really like the ironmind ones desu
>>35936844
Because 385 looks cool and no weight classes in the jungle
>>35936851
Top kek are you implying you should bench without an arch?
Dude just admit it that you're a weak twink that just started lifting so you haven't given up on the zyzz dream yet.
>>35936872
Yeah I used those once and really liked it. Felt closer to the bar.
>all this gay talk
>>35936851
>Arching the fuck out of your back while benching is not proper form
Ha! Get a load of this guy
>>35937025
I mean I'm not saying that of all the things to get strained that it should be the first. But you can't control what'll give out first unless you really beat it down. And it's not like either of those things don't happen. They're not the most common injuries, but they certainly come up.
>>35937035
Come here cutie
>>35936957
>Powerlifters can compete both equipped and unequipped, they're different classes.
Didn't know that. It's stupid though, it's literally saying that the equipment is doing the work for them.
>>35937025
>>35937039
>Top kek are you implying you should bench without an arch?
Only thing i'm implying is the reason you do it is to make the ROM shorter.
>>35937025
Quick google, some guy posts "if you have a really narrow grip your pecs will try to adduct your arms when at or near max effort.
i've had pec strains from deadlifts when my grip was too narrow. "
fuck man these short THP's ain't cutting it my baby wrists feel sore after squats
>>35937071
Just like a bow fires the arrow for you. Equipment is more a competition of skill(It's really not as easy as just putting on some bench shirt and adding 50kg to your bench) and getting the most out of your equipment, rather than strength. I really don't fully understand why some people only do equipped either, but the times I've done it, I've found it to be fun(and really painful)

>getting the most out of your equipment, rather than strength
That's why i said it's stupid since it's a sport about strenght. And seriously, why not make the rules on form more strict? Are you gonna cry because you have to lower the weight a little bit?
>>35937203
Try to cue spreading the floor with your feet. Sounds goofy but it fixed my butt-off-bench problem a while back.
>>35937196
is this a real concern for people with androids?
>>35937203
I've found that >>35937158 works well. Also, when setting up, try to bring your legs closer and closer to the bar so that when you try to use leg drive, you physically can't force your ass off the bench. Definitely takes a couple tries to find the correct position. And you could need to move then further away too, all dependent on the lifter.
>>35937231
I'm an icuck because my in-laws gifted it to me
>>35937196
I had fraud at least 8 times in the past 3 years. But I'll never learn.
>>35937218
You can't make it more strict, unless you want a judge measuring the arch with rulers n shit. It's impossible to touch the bench with all of your back. And the sport is what you make of it. If you want pure strength, go raw, if you want strength and skill, go equipped.
>>35937241
me too but I don't get what I should be worried about, what can happen?
>>35937260
Honestly probably not a huge concern. Neither instance was from online shopping but it still makes me paranoid.

It's the year 2016 and OP can post a pic from fucking 9gag and nobody says a thing. You're so shit now /fit/

Try, slowly over time, planting your feet closer towards the bar while rotating your toes outward.
Watch Chelsea Savit bench at ~1:30 to get an idea of what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usITn1l41Cg

>You can't make it more strict, unless you want a judge measuring the arch with rulers n shit
What's the problem with that? And that's besides the point. What i'm saying is powerlifters take advantage of the broad rules to do a shorter movement and "lift" more.
Any of u bby gurls do this stretch?
Did it increase you're ankle flexibility?
>>35937321
Yes, because if you don't, someone else will. Disregarding the fact that it'd make meets explode in time needed for the bench part, it'll also be impossible to enforce this weird ass angle rule throughout the lift.
>>35937350
only thing i've ever done that seemed to help but also it fucked up my ankle doing it because i'm an idiot and loaded up a lot of weight.
>wow this feels good with 60kg, it must feel great with 100kg!
>>35937321
With the massive variation in people, it helps to keep up. With the example of bench arch. Some people have really long arms, so arching more would help make it easier on them, giving them less of a disadvantage against people with really short arms. Of course these people arch hard too. But not everyone arches hard, grips wide, squats wide, etc., because in order to be able to do that stuff very well, it needs to be built up over time. Lots of people are weaker with the widest grip possible than they are with a more moderate grip. Same with arching. I personally feel less stable and weaker when I arch hard enough to get ribcage flare. That's not to say I don't have a decent sized arch, but there are certainly limits.
People are built differently, and the stricter the rules are, the more it messes with their ability to compete to the max that they can, not to mention the difficulty in enforcing complex, stricter rules. People already have fits over supposedly missing depth in the squat, could you imagine the shitshow if the rules would be even stricter?
why even live when you will never have this ;_;
>>35937374
Shit nigga I don't even know what to say
>>35937350
>>35937374
I feel like I have unlocked my maximum dorsiflexion ability, it doesn't stretch it just stops
>>35937392
I think you mean this
>>35937396
i-i saw pictures of weightlifters doing it with 140kg and thought what's the worst that could happen
>>35937399

>why not make the rules on form more strict?
Next to impossible to do fairly
>>35937130
Angle your feet out and maybe take a wider stance, it'll force your hips/torso up the bench rather than into the air.
>>35937458
I eat a can of beans every day with 1 cup (dry) rice. Takes 2 minutes to microwave.
>>35937305
It's half of the posts in the thread lad
>>35937460
Really big fan of the original version tbH.
>>35937517
I made 2.5 kilos of beans and my foodcost for the whole thing was under 5 Canadian pesos
Get on my level.

>that toes
jesus fucking christ don't know if I have this flexibility
>>35937238
thanks bro
I have never done a cut before
but this year I might do one and stay lean till the nationals in september to get a lower weight class
how much will it hurt my lifts and more importantly progression?
I am scared tbqh... been lifting for such a long time and I am scared to find out that I always underestimated how fat I am, that I am still DYEL and that there is no hope as natty with mediocre genes
please give me some advice lads
>>35937574
No problem. And definitely do toes out. It doesn't have to be extreme, but as long as they're turned out more than being directly forward, you'll be good.
>>35937550
I get 10 cans of organic low sodium beans for 10 dollars from kroger. Also get gas points every time I shop there. I save 15-30cents per gallon when I get gas at their gas station. And every once in awhile I'll steal a package of gummy bears.
>>35937575
How fast are you going to cut and from what weight and body fat percentage to what weight and body fat percentage.
still a virgin at 27
>>35937606
Why not get an escort?
>>35937575
Cuts fuckin suck. Your progression will stall, and you may regress towards the end. But just remember, you have to change your goals: getting stronger while cutting doesn't mean having your numbers go up, it means having your numbers stay where they are while your bodyweight goes down.
Upperbody movements are always the first to get hit.
Try to plan your meals around your workout. Fats and proteins for brekkie and dinner, and all your carbs 1hr before and 1hr after your training.
>>35937606
I haven't had sex since I was 15. 23 now.
>>35937591
For the record that would be roughly $15 Canadian Pesos.
>>35937626
Yeah but it's organic.
>>35935078
PLANET
>>35937635
Just why? My beans also have tasty pork in them.
>>35937612
I don't see why anyone would do this
>>35937657
I don't eat swine. And I eat organic because Autism.
>>35937672
To get some experience so you wouldn't be so worried about doing it with a real girl?
>>35937606
Go grind on some drunk girl on a dance floor. I don't like it either but you gotta do what you gotta do.
>>35937612
I probably will pretty soon
>>35937602
what is the best method? I considered a slow cut, maybe only 1 week cut 1 week normal even
my progression is very slow in general. during summer I was 93-94kg now I am only 90kg and I blame undereating due to stress. well, my lifts have all gone up a tiny bit during this period or at least I believe so...
I don't know my bodyfat and I am scared that it is above 15%... I will try to go down to 85kg. if I get there without looking too lean, I will try to hit the 83kg mark, if necessary with watercut
>>35937617
thanks
imagine I could compare myself in 1 year, once staying on my bodyfat and once cutting and then bulking, how much would the latter hurt me compared to the former
At what stats do I actually start looking without having an after-workout pump?
anybody thinking about trying candito's 9 week squat program? seems pretty retarded ngl
>>35937733
It does seem pretty retarded but I'm not above trying it one day
>>35937728
I read this twice and gave up trying to make sense of it
>>35937733
I was excited for it to come out but after looking at it, it seems a little dumb.
>>35937756
>>35937757
>>35937733
I've no doubt Candito will look back at these programs in 15 years time and cringe (that is if he stays in powerlifting)
>>35937756
At what lifting stats (bench, ohp, deadlift, squat) do I actually start looking like a serious lifter muscle-wise
>>35937767
You're probably right but I hate to point out that it works really well for him. Hell, he ran his 6 week intermediate program for a long time.
>>35937768
I dunno m8 I'll let you know when I get there
>>35937768
Other shit like curls, tricep extensions and 'chest' assistance exercises are important to do alongside the big 3 if you want to look like you lift (and eating enough, then correcting your body composition after a couple years lifting)
It also depends heavily on your genes. Some guys will look huge with a 2 plate 1rm bench, others will look DYEL at 4 plate
>>35937768
You'll know when people tell you. Until then focus on putting in the work.
>>35937779
>works really well for him
Because talent+hard work always works regardless, adding in intelligent training just makes it work slightly better
>>35937787
I dunno man people have pretty low standards
I get a lot of comments but I'm still twenty or more pounds from being proper big
>>35937723
Height? Bodyfat percentage? And slow cut usually means just a lower caloric deficit, like 0.5-1 pound a week loss instead of 1.5-2 pounds a week loss. And the intensity of that cut can be usually guesstimated by having an approximation of your bodyfat. The number I've seen was 31 calories in deficit per pound of fat.
