hello im new to this board
who is this qt?
Did depth steal my PR? I wish my bud would have filmed from the side
>>36789376
Forgot pic
>>36789376
>>36789383
That's an exceptionally useless angle for judging depth. 'Mirin eyebrows.
>>36789331
now i realise why hes called joffrey
>>36789331
What is he doing with his hands?
>>36789429
Finding the perfect grip. Isn't that normal?
>>36789331
i thought you were just looping the hands in that webm lol
>>36789383
I can't into drawing lines to check depth on bad camera angles, sorry.

Fuck yeah, smashed my deadlift pr. Flew up. Also, the gym was empty so I played around on the machines I've never used. Cable crossover fly thingies burn so nice.
New place has a reverse hyper station, two kinds of chest supported row machines, GHRs, a shitload of racks and benches, SSB, cambered bar, actual Duffalo memebar, calibrated plates, and actual competing powerlifters lads. Real excited.
>>36789597
happy for ya lad

Cutting has really improved my roll of shame form :^)
>>36789531
joff spends too long in the setup imo, tightness lost, i have the opposite problem, i dont take enough time sometimes and grip isnt set right

>>36789747
Don't lose tightness in the dl desu. Squat probably tho
>>36790172
Because of your breathing before squatting imho. Shallow breaths, raising your chest, losing care tightness. Hate to point to lolfed roidaroos but duffin & cws stuff is what I mean
>>36790130
I've tried a free VPN but it didn't work. I haven't bothered with much else because I'm moving out in a few weeks anyway.
When do my injuries stop hurting?
>>36790439
they dont
you just get new ones that take priority
>>36790458
>>36790439
Depends. Took my back forever. One wrist was good after a two+ months, the other after about a month. Still can't do chins quite yet though.
>>36790478
its really true in my case Tbh
whats wrong with you now anyway
>>36790497
Same left side hip and back. There's always just that little niggle, y'know?
>>36790515
The last 20% of the injury takes 80% of the time to heal, sadly
>>36790439
When you want it more.
Working out in the AM is a meme
>>36790562
I'm going to out turtle you at a lighter weight because I want it more.
>>36790481
>Took my back forever
Having this right now. Literally can't squat without feeling pain in my lower back. Even lifting dumbells causes it to hurt.
Been close to a month so I might have to get a check up.
>>36790579
Im okay with that.
>>36789383
Look at the safety rails on your power rack making a parallel line to your femur. You're at parallel, which some would say is perfect form.
>>36790594
I'm not
>>36790594
Benchie, do you still hate me?
>>36790585
You should definitely see a doctor. My back issue was a bulging disc. I didn't even get diagnosed until 6-8 months after I got it
>>36790577

>>36790595
oh nice spot, thanks.
>>36790597
I've fallen off the horse again. I'm struggling getting back on. This happens a lot. Motivation is hard to find after so many years.
Like, I love the sport, I just don't have the motivation to go in and lift alone.
>>36790604
I don't hate you, I'm just dissapointed.
>3x4 5plate diddy in 45min
>literally never done it for anything but a single
it's rare that i'm intimidated by a workout but here i'm not feeling 100% confidence
>>36790303
If you use the USB tethering option, and disable your phones WiFi, as well as your computers Internet connection you will be able to use your phones data for your connection.
That'd probably be a pain in the ass desu, but it's good to know
>>36790681
You'll find your motivation again senpai. You always do.
>>36790681
>I just don't have the motivation to go in and lift alone.
You'll find that fire, Joe.
>>36790681
You need to find a legit powerlifting iron life gym to train at, it's apparent that you need other people to push you to succeed
>>36790681
You should find a gym bro lad
>>36789383
>>36789376
nah that looks good
>>36790681
>motivation is hard to find after so many years.
This year is the only time you have really trained properly for even a few months. Power lifting might genuinely not be for you if you can't stick to a program without quitting when it gets a bit tough.
>>36790750
I did find one. Then my connection with it broke up with her connection with it so I'm out in the cold again.
>>36790760
I found one, then he moved gyms, then I found another, and she moved gyms.
I'll be home soon with my dad for the summer though.
>>36790730
>>36790731
I hope so
Had a dream about sparkling water and decided it was time to get up. Forgot all the strong people were tomorrow and Sunday.

reminder that this happened
>>36790911
And this
Did 137.5kg for triples today on the bench for a nice PR
Only two days ago I was barely doing 120kg for triples, think I was a bit ill or something then.
>>36790898
I forgot you're going to miss the show Sunday.
>>36790898
why do you wear sleeves and wrist wraps when deadlifting?
>>36790931
and this
>>36790940
to keep his knee warm during the long day and wrist wraps to help with grip
>>36790931
>>36790911
And he really doesn't compete? The fuck is wrong with him?
>>36790949
how do wraps help with grip when pulling?
>>36790911
>gut press
>>36790940
Wrist wraps actually do help with grip. Dunno the reason why, but at least with me, I've noticed a difference. It's not huge, but it is there.
>>36790944
I think you mean this
>>36790957
close your hand and wrap your other hand as hard as possible right under your wrist joint and try opening your hand
>>36790944
who is this?
>>36790961
yeah, I clicked the wrong one. thanks bud.
>>36790970
SSB. late night anon. extremely cool guy.
>>36790981
is he natural?
>>36790970
The hero plg needs
>>36791006
unlikely but it's possible
>>36791006
he has never failed a drug test.
the reason he is so strong is just because he tries really hard.
>>36790961
why does he squat with a safety bar?
extremely poor should mobility?
>>36790981
Hgt & wgt?
>>36791020
It's harder. His best single w/wraps last year was like 610. 475ish with the SSB nearly pancaked him.
>>36790961
Wrist wraps improve grip because they put tension on the tendons in the forearm that are used for closing your hand.
>>36791016
you ruined the fun

Ah the famous belly bounce technique
>>36790981
does he have a gf?
>>36791019
Is this "boardie at work.gif" guy? Because I'm really feeling this statement
Sure is comfy having SSB around, maybe it's just a coincidence, but it's nice without isley stirring up non ipf hate
>>36791077

your approval means everything
>>36791104
ye that's me family
Why is it always old men and women who are judges at meets? Why would you ever not go ATG with these blind fucks watching?
>>36791139
that looks kinda high
>>36790911
He could really use some technique work desu.
I know he doesn't care about Pl but that form would be dogshit if he had to pause.
He brings it down controlled halfway, then just lets go and drops it on himself losing all benefit from the energy he used controlling it and only the only gain he gets is the bounce off his belly.
That works fine for fucking around in the gym but meh.
I like you ssb but I'd like to see you refine that bench and do a fake fed meet or something.
>>36791169
He paused 545
>>36791127
;)
>>36791169
>guy benches 555
>benchbro still manages to complain about technique
kys
>>36791169
here he is doing less weight.
he said that he stopped after that because he didn't like how he lost tightness in the bottom.
>>36791139
they are the people willing to give up their time and pay for the privilege
Hold my breath as I wish for depth
OH please ipf judge meeeeeee
>>36791180
Do you have a video of it? I'd like to see it.
My coach does that same bench and works great then he goes into the meet and just can't perform nearly as well.
>>36791184
>strong means immune to critique
Kys. We're all here to improve.
>>36791186
That looks about the same to me desu. He stays nice and tight halfway then loses all his tightness and drops it.
Do you have the video of him pausing anything?
>>36791184
>>36791253
nice webm, but why did you post that in response to me?
>>36791245
>immune to critique
no, ofcourse not. but there's a difference between needlessly complaining and giving feedback *after* someone's asked for it.
Now the lights are white my attempt is done
OH ipf, help me hold my breath as I wish for depth
OH please judge help meeeeee
>>36791245
>>36791293
Ugh he sunk after the pause.
Its hard for me to accept that he doesn't care about the lifts being legitimate or not but I'll stop.
Just want him to refine the technique because I think he could be pretty good if he worked on making them fake fed legal.
Red lights imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I could not squat
I could not grind

>>36791366
That's absolutely forbidden. Every single member of plg must endlessly run sheiko repeatedly and never compete more than once very 3 years and only if they have at least a 460 Wilks.
>>36791390
I see you omitted the parts of plg you actually agree with, like ipf memeing
what a boring "sport" if you can call it that.
Literally no technique involved in this shit. Fuck off

I don't think so sir.
>>36791647

Hahaha have you not realized lifting is useless if not doing the specific rules of sheiko and C6w?
>>36791721

Never ever put that fucking "program" in the same sentence with sheiko ever again you fucking mentally challenged retard
>>36791728
Sheiko and C6W are both good programs.
>>36791647
>You do realize there are other valid programs, right?
yeah, TSA and RTS but they don't use 8 rep sets for competition lifts
>>36791721
what he said >>36791728
don't ever mention that program again
>>36791739
No canditos program is a piece of fucking dog shit written by moronoc child
Anything else?
>>36791762
Alex, Joff and Boardshorts have made great gains on it.
>>36791767
All steroid users and noob twinks.
>>36791774
Boardie used very very low dosages.
Alex and Joff both have 400+ wilks and lift more than you ever will sean
>>36791718
Dietmar.
>>36791767
Alex and joffbitch were at the early intermediate stage where they would have made gains literally doing anything so long as they were lifting weights
And bagboy ran the program a few times on steroids and now he ran it again natty and did not make gains lol
>>36791779
Stop trying to reason here. Stop replying. Don't break our one rule
>>36791789
he just ran it earlier this year to hit a 2x bw (double bodyweight) squat done to IPF depth.
he hasn't been using roids for a long time now. he only failed his max this last week because he's a fucking retard and fucked himself while drinking and then decided to take LESS rest that specified and came in mentally underprepared
>>36791798
its not even enforced anyway

>stub my toe opening my fridge
who /deadend/ here?
I remember one timr candito went to a deadlift lolfed bar stretched his feet to both sides of the plates and exclaimed "wow look at how short my ROM is! [This record is going to be easy to break!]" being completely serious
And then I thought to myself people are unironically running this retardes Childs programs
Oh side note; about a month after that video came out some dude BTFO of that deadlift record and candito gave up on the spot
Bodorio: never ran candito program, runs a smart program, sheiko; is strong, good wilks
Boardshorts: very intellectually challenged individual, runs candito programs, is weak and on steroids
That is all
>>36791943
Holy shit bagboy on life support
>>36791943
>being completely serious
You're mentally deficient if you really think this.
>>36791984

>yfw current champions like HAACK, NORRIS, WILLIAMS and CORNELIUS don't train autistically ala sheiko are still world champs and ALL AMERICAN
>>36792075
Doesn't Norris still use a fuckton of volume though?
I'm having a problem with my belt. I've recently lost a bit of weight and whenever I tighten my belt enough it always slips up after I come up in a squat. This makes me lean forward and it's causing me to fall over when I squat more than 1 rep. Is there anything I can so to stop this? I can't really progress as much beltless.
>>36792109
Drill a another hole in the belt. Gain more weight. Go beltless. Some decent options. Maybe buy another belt if you have the money.
>>36792061
He wasn't serious...
What other stupid/false shit?
>>36792075
>haack
>current champions
Anybody here find theyre stronger in the squat with more knee travel rather than a traditional low bar?
>>36792129
I'm not using the last notch on my belt though it's just hard keeping the belt in that position without a gut. I'll probably just go beltless besides for singles.

Oh god it all makes sense now.. You poor, poor boy
I think you may have lost so many brain cells watching candito that you, in fact, are now as dumb as candito himself
I've been thinking about some good bench accessories/variations, for bench on 3/5/1, what do you guys think about bench with long (4 second) pauses? Not sure about set/reps/percent yet, but it probably couldn't hurt to get more power out of the bottom.
>>36792257
Something tells me you don't lift half as much as Candito does.
come up with actual examples and rebuttals, or fuck off
>>36792265
In the month I've spent learning how to actually bench, a lot of it was spent doing paused benches with pauses upwards of 10 seconds. I'd say it's a great idea if you struggle at the bottom or lose tension.
>>36792271

>>36792295
Only gonna be twice a week. Once with 3/5/1 and the other with accessory/variations. Only thing I have set in stone at the moment is 5x10@~40% of TM.

Any ideas for set/rep/percent scheme?
all the seanposting aside canditos programs do give the idea that he is not the smartest. they are random as fuck and dont really seem to serve a purpose.
i once made a bretty big writeup about why they're bad but no one replied kek.
keep doing inferior programming
>>36792353
thanks breh
>>36792361
C6W is a good program because it teaches people to work hard and try hard.
>birthday dinner in dorm kitchen
>really cba talk to people
dinner will have to wait
>>36792353
Personally I did moderate both rep and sets, something like 4x6 at all times.
As for percentages, I really just experimented and felt it out, the whole point for me was to relearn benching. At first I was only hovering around 1pl8, because that was more than challenge enough when I was using muscles I had not been using before.
>>36792361
It used to be common knowledge here that candito programs were terrible
I don't know what happened, maybe it was the influx of new, retarded trips
>>36792377
This is fucking stupid and you're fucking stupid
>>36792377
does c6w stand for candito6week?
>>36792361
You have it saved? I'd be interested in giving it a read.
>>36792384
I've been thinking 4x4 @ ~60-70% of TM, but that might be a little high.
>>36792385
its all alexs fault Tbh
>>36792401
It stands for crap 6 weeks
>tfw finally moving out of my mom's basement tomorrow
>>36792353
>Any ideas for set/rep/percent scheme?
The only purpose of long pause benching is to get comfy and trained under HEAVY weights.
you should do a single or double at whatever your top set for the day is minimum, no point fucking around with 60-70% of 90% of whatever bullshit
or just work up to a single @9
>>36792415
Bullshit
>>36792424
I suppose I could work up to a heavy single on my non-3/5/1 bench day. My only cause for concern is that I'm gonna be doing an AMRAP with my training max for bench in the same week, at least on the 3 and 1 weeks, and I wouldn't want to do something that would interfere heavily with it.
>>36792440
Yup :^)
>>36792452
Liar
>>36789383
I personally think it's an inch high laddy.
>>36792459
Already packed. Had to carry 545lbs worth of weights up the stairs. And 2 barbells, various dumbbells, deadlift platform, 2 benches, squat stands, and a power rack.
>>36792407
no i just wrote it up in a post on here, the main takeaways are that:
1. the training effects he tries to illicit (the ones in the excel sheet above all the program) can't be achieved on a week by week basis.
2. the periodisation is random as fuck, you go from like 60 squat NL to 10 in week 2-3. such a drastic dropoff in volume is only meant for maybe deloads or prolonged intensity blocks but c6w doesnt give the idea that this randomness has a purpose.
i think the main reason that people make gains on that program is because they are early intermediates or beginners and never had any real training structure.
that being said, any structure is better than no structure
Haha im lean for summer and youre all fat shits for an extra 5 wilks points
How does it feel
>>36792495
>i think the main reason that people make gains on that program is because they are early intermediates or beginners and never had any real training structure.
it's a lot of volume (especially for people coming from like 3x5) and volume drives progress
honestly dont think optimizing early-mid intermediate programmes matter much as long as form is kept at the golden 80%+
>>36792494
>can afford all that

Oh, I think I actually read it when you posted it. I mean, your logic makes sense to me. I personally don't have enough experience to either fiercely be opposed to or defend your arguments, but the reasoning seems sound enough.

I don't feel like 295x5 is gonna happen lads. Please let me be wrong.

Zavickas Press felt meh today, but went up easy. @7 or something.

I don't really lurk /plg/, but when I do, I notice some hate towards Candito. Why is this?
>>36792760
Literally got one rep. What a fucking joke. Lowering VD next week.
>>36792841
>lowering VD next week
Oh look he takes the advice of the infinitely more experienced than him AFTER he Fucks up
What a fucking idiot
Why is this guy tripping?
>>36792855
I actually did lower my weight on VD, but doing that first set of 250x5 fucked with me, on top of not sleeping enough and going for a 10 lb PR last week.
>what a fucking idiot
Can you not read my trip?
>>36792805
Because he's a twink who's stronger than most of us.
>>36792800
Just know that if you try to steal my intellectual property again, I WILL contact the authorities and press charges against you.

currently on sheiko intermediate small load and made great gains, just finished first week of peak. When I did joegramming I deadlifted like 2-3x/week and now I only do it once a week, kinda miss it. Anyone know if the medium or large load intermediate ever feature 2x/week deadlifting?
>>36792961
None of the intermediate programs feature 2x weekly pulling.
But sheiko and some of the mods on the sheiko forum say that doing a second pull session on saturday is fine, maybe do half the NL of wednesday and stick to variations like paused dl.
>>36792992
think I'm just gonna wait seven months until I start the advanced small load. Don't want to weasel my shit up
About to go train on five hours of sleep. This is a horrible idea.
I bought a canned beverage known as "Just Chill" (thought it was funny). Probably had caffeine in it. Dunno why I would have woken up early otherwise.
>deadlifts
I just farted in my pants
