It really is just as simple as having a great deal of concentration on keeping tight and keeping a good position combined with a shitload of practice. Simple, not easy.

>As for elbows. are we squeezing scaps back and together? Or trying to get the elbows to touch behind your back?
Kind of both? We want to squeeze the shoulder blades and traps really hard together, and cueing the elbows is one way of doing that.

>I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you talking about how I set up under the bar? Not sure how to push back against the weight on my shoulders
No, on the way up. It'll keep your from tilting forwards. As you come up, drive your traps into the bar.

I am going to post every day from now on

Today's lifts
5x5 squats at 100kg, slower and with a wider stance cut down on the back rounding a lot, but still needs work
5x5 paused bench at 70kg, first set was terrible,but then i finally got leg drive working for the first time and the other 4 sets felt 5-10 kilos lighter
3x5 deadlifts at 122.5kg
5x5 dumbell rows at 42kg

no, but i'm a D grade Powerlifter in Australian power-lifting, and it's run by Wilks so he thinks i'm good enough to count as a real powerlifter

He wouldn't.

Wilks barely cares about half the people in his own gym because of their lack of competitiveness, let alone some random who isn't even a PA member.
>>

As someone who knows Wilks well, he'd think you're a nope hope retard who's wasting his time. He wouldn't even talk to you.

>>
>>36930855
if your hips shoot up faster than the bar then its a squat morning. this often coincides with the core collapsing near the bottom somewhere causing you to lean forward more, which exacerbates the problem.
>>
The level of hate against Ras here is just getting silly guys, how long has he been powerlifting for? I know a lot of people who lift for years and never squat over 100kilos and even then don't make it to parallel, and who think a bodyweight bench is the ultimate goal after years of training. he's added like 200 lbs to his lifts since he first started posting here, it's not like he's hopeless and spinning his wheels, he probably doesn't have a real coach and trains in a commercial gym.
>>
>>36931158
I am pretty sure most of us don't have coaches and lift in commercial gyms.

Wilks has also said he despises equipped power lifting

He's definitely gotten bigger numbers. What's riling people up is mostly his inability to listen to any advice given or show any technical improvement.

his vids were like two weeks apart, and his squat form was definitely better in the second video (it couldn't have gotten much worse) . and the advice i'm seeing is 90% "give up" and "kill yourself" and "stop posting!". he claims to have changed his squat and bench since the most recent video as well, so we'll see if he uploads another video if he's really made any improvements.

Hell somebody is pretending he can read Wilk's mind and knows he'd hate Ras, this is childish shcoolyard shit at this point. I seriously hope he outlifts most of you guys one day.


>>36931252
so if he adds 84 kilos to his lifts you'll apologize to him/


HEY RASPUTIN
get a 447 kilo total and they'll stop being fucking retards.
Cos seriously guys, you make the whole general, and power lifting, look really shitty
>>
>>36931324
>Hell somebody is pretending he can read Wilk's mind and knows he'd hate Ras
Multiple people here have been coached by or train at his gym. It's very easy to work out how he'd treat a perennial loser like Rasputin.
>>
>>36931324
>they'll

I'm 90% sure it's just Isley and Sean ripping on him, or at least they do the vast majority of it.
>>
>>36931324

Not to defend everyone laying in with the 'kill yourself' shit, but Wilks general predisposition is pretty well known amongst aussie lifters. If you're not currently the top prospect for your weight class in his gym, he gives approximately no fucks about you as a lifter.

>>36931476
Looks quite fine, but i dont know if you hit depth.

If you didnt, you might want to push your knees out a little to achieve depth.
>>
>>36931522

I think he did compete once or twice but I don't think he was blowing everyone away.

Pretty much everyone who's trained with O'Hearn does say pretty much the same thing - guy moves some damn serious weight regardless of the exercise.

the lower back fatigue is probably the most troublesome if anything. Had to wait about 20 minutes before i could progress to deads. tomorrow is the upper hypertrophy day which is about 30 sets of rows/curls/curls/curls/tris/curls
>>
What numbers should I aim for before attempting a meet? I usually weigh around 190, so I could bulk up to 198 and be comfy. Currently 350/265/420.
>>
>>36931610
Forgot to mention that I'm 21.
>>
>>36931601

Its not super common, but it has been used by a reasonable number of top level lifters. Thing is, it does require some significant changes from the usual template and that kind of makes it enough of a pain to set up that a lot of people won't bother.
>>
>>36931610
good ratio between the 3 lifts, so not bad there. i'd say when you're ready to break 1100 you could try and do it at a meet to make it exciting.
>>
>>36931536
Alright, cheers. Just me being overly critical I guess.

I can't tell if I hit depth or not. But I'll still go with 170 as my new squat pr.
>>
>>36930848
hey trappy, will you be my gf?
>>
>>36930848
kill yourself
>>
>>36931621
The only thing I'm sort of confused about is how the progression works. Am I supposed to just work up to a new max with the competition lift often enough to maintain specificity and gauge progress?
>>
>>36931610
My first was 440/308/600 weighing 216

My biggest regret is not competing earlier. I was hooked
>>
>>36931086
I hope you are a woman, because a 799lb total as a man is jump-in-the-harbor-tier.
>>
>>36931818

Generally yes. Because you're not competing in gear, you can use your competition lifts to max out on significantly more often than an equipped lifter. Although you don't always need to because you should be able to judge that based on how the speed work is going (one of the biggest changes for a raw lifter according to most people? Speed work should be comp lifts to comp standards)
>>
>>36931867
>Because you're not competing in gear, you can use your competition lifts to max out on significantly more often than an equipped lifter.

Hmmmmmmm I'm not so sure
>>
>>36931884

Gear, particularly multiply gear, is incredibly stressful on the body. Imagine trying to do a squat max with two or three hundred pounds worth of reverse-band assistance (giving nothing at the top) while a pro strongman gives you a full-body bear hug. That's pretty much what maxing in gear is like.
>>
>>36931476
Savefrom, then webm for retards or such software.
>>
>>36931867
Last question: Is it generally advised to do the same lift variation on the dynamic effort day that you did for max effort earlier in the week? If the above is true, does this mean that you would be doing 1 variation of the competition lift for up to 3 weeks to finish out a wave?
>>
>>36931921
I know exactly how stressful equipped lifting is because I'm an equipped powerlifter.

I feel I can max in it productively much more often than classic. I can't do it more often than once a week, but it's useful, unliike the equivalent in classic.
>>
>>36931989

For raw lifters? The DE exercises are almost always going to be your competition movements. They are completely disconnected from your choice of ME exercises. Also you can generally disregard the given percentages, they're unlikely to work for you.
>>
>>36931997

You're a better lifter than me then. I was always crushed as fuck for the rest of the week if I had to go heavy in gear.
>>
Any point in giving geared a run if you've no access to any lifters with geared experience?

Looks so technically difficult, but I really want to be able to give it a shot without having to move.

Shit, I don't even know how many geared lifters there are in Aus.
>>
>>36932031

They're a distinct minority, but they do exist. Pretty sure most of them are IPF guys with a small smattering of GPC and APL multi guys around.

That said, trying to learn gear without help is going to be a bitch. Trying to learn gear without anyone to learn from and without a training crew would probably be deemed suicide by most coroners.

Essentially coached by high school gym teacher for first year. Shit commercial gym on my own for a few months and then proper coached for the last four/five months at current PL gym.

DE % without accommodating resistance is usually 65-80, fwiw.

Read, watch, apply, read, watch, film and adjust if necessary, repeat repeat repeat.
>>
>>36932045
Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Guess my dreams of squishing myself into a squat suit will have to wait awhile.

Speaking of the non ipf Feds, how regular do they have meets? There's no ipf meets that are a possibility for me to go to for ages. I don't care about lifting with raiders. I'm competing against myself, not David who out lifted me by a long margin four years ago before he started juicing.
>>
>>36932096

I'm not really sure. I suspect it has a lot to do with where you are and how proactive the local organisers are. Some places you can barely move for non-IPF meets, some places they don't even seem to exist.
>>
>>36932031
I am doing it, it's possible. I can give you size and equipment recommendations if you like?

I can tell you that Mildura is the centre of Aus eq powerlifting, or it was. You can do things like email Joel Ridings and ask him.
>>
>>36932065

PTC Macarthur
>>
>>36932112
I'm not really knowledgeable enough to even work out what gear I'd need, or to give you the right information for ou to help me. Thanks though.

Milduras around 4 hours away from me. I'm in Deniliquin. Might have to have a search and see what upcoming meets they have there. A little further than Melbourne, but Mildura isn't filled with people from Melbourne so that's worth the extra 30 minutes driving.

>>36932101
I've looked on various pl organisations websites and seem to see fuck all on there calanders.
>>
Theres a consensus that gear will come back around. Raw has helped grow the sport as its a lot easier and cheaper to train for, as you can train alone and dont have to buy as much equipment. The thinking is that people will want to try gear as something different or to test themselves in a different way

Remember powerlifting didnt used to be raw and eq, it was lift the most weight any way possible

Nope, I don't.

But srs, go spectate at a few meets from whatever feds are in your area then decide where you want to compete.

>>
>>36932148
Yeah Joel knows a fair bit about equipped. There's 2 of them who both still lift equipped. Last comp was 3 lifters lol. Worth coming over to have a look, especially if you're keen on equipped. Would want to contact him first to find out if he's actually in the country or not though.
>>
>>36932065
>>36933144
Honestly, for all of the shit that gets thrown about and for all of the shilling Islee and the Melbourne U crew do, it's as simple as, find out which gyms close to you are holding meets. And then, go to one and see what it's run like and if you'd actually like to compete in that environment. Some meets, especially the novice meets the PTC's run, are unaffiliated so it's better to look for the gym and see what meets they're running rather than the fed website.

Like, do the spotters take five minutes to load a bar between attempts? Is there no music, no crowd, a shit announcer and no cheering? Does the atmosphere of the meet get you pumped up? What's the equipment like? What's the warm up area like? Is it two racks shoved in a corner for 30 lifters? How long does it take for them to get through the flights? Rule of thumb for this is 1 minute per attempt, including the loading. So, a flight of 10 lifters should take 30 minutes. If it takes an hour you're going to be waiting 20 minutes between attempts. How many misloads are there? How well is the flight order managed? Do the spotters look competent and would you trust them to pull the weight off of your back? How many mistakes are made in general and how smooth does the whole thing run? How many toilets are there and how long is the line? Do the judges seem like giant cunts who take joy in red lighting lifters for pointless bullshit?

You're going to give these people money to run a meet for you, so make sure it's one that you'll enjoy. Don't listen to plg, actually go to one or two in person and see what they're like.
>>
>>36931346
Yeah he does have a rep as a total wanker. I've never met him personally, but I've never heard a good word about him.

>>
>>36933736
6x a week? Are you doing really low intensity or something?
>>
>>36933749
It's basically joegrammed sheiko. I split the double sessions up and inflated the numbers juuust a little bit. For pyramids I typically work up to a rep pr and then do some pyramid-esque backoffs.
>>
>>36933736
Whoa, you mean the thing you might expect to happen from upping volume and frequency actually happened.
>>
>>36933769
Gotcha. That sounds interesting. I just started running C6W recently and if that with some added bench volume and dips doesn't help my bench, I'll probably try out some sheiko stuff.
>>
>>36933772
Well, mainly the
>shoulders have never felt better
Dont think I can sustain this after updating my maxes desu.
>>
>>36933783
C6W is shit for Bench. Even if you add volume.
>>
>>36933796
Yeah, that's what I've heard. But my bench is at such a poverty level I'm going to try it out for a cycle or two just to see how it goes with extra volume. If it doesn't work well after this cycle or one more, I'm gonna try sheiko.
>>
>>36933783
A) please please stop tripping for a while B) the last few weeks of C6W bench are fine, it's the initial portion that sucks. In any way possible, just get in some semi-heavy volume those first few weeks instead of attempting low weight pyramids where you probably won't even hit the required reps.
>>
>>36933820
I want to feel more like a part of the plg community, but I guess I should hold off on tripping for a bit, huh? I did my first meet very recently and barely broke 300 wilks, so I am still a weak fuck.

Eh, 275 x 5 on squat just felt really easy.

I think what I want to do and what I should do are two different things :). I'll probably just stick to 5 lbs per ID.

I have been increasing VD as little as possible because
>muh fatigue
so hopefully things will work out for me.

Also, re: Rasputin, I don't understand why everyone is being so mean to him. It really does reflect poorly, I think.

And I'm just a random, weak, fat anon, so my opinion doesn't really matter. But then again nobody else's does either when it comes to this kind of thing.
>>
>>36934155
But you're not tripping, you're running TM, and you're asking questions about TM, which is all the things someone new is supposed to do. Rasputin is not the only new trip who needs to stop.

I have a theory about why I have way better sessions with that other bench in the other gym location:

The bars are different, rings are not equally far as part.
But I adjusted my grip, still the other bench feels way way worse.
So, I measured the weight of the bars, both 50kg.
The benches are pretty damn equal, same width.

Now, the only thing left in the tank is that the padding of the bench that I do good at is somehow softer than the other.
And that this way my shoulder blades sink into the bench and that's why I do so good over there.

Kek, this sounds really theoretical - but what else could it be??
The only other difference is that the bench that I have my bad sessions on is randomly angled into the room.

But that can't be it, why the fuck would that matter.

I really don't get this hocuspocus lads. I want to do good at both gym locations, what the fuck.
>>
>>36934360
50kg bars?
>>
Wilks is bullshit.

Twinks and women will always dominate when it comes to wilks.
It is a easier for a 100lbs woman to deadlift 200lbs than a 200lbs man to deadlift 400lbs.

400lbs is 2x the weight and takes FAR LONGER to achieve. The woman will always have the edge because her weights to be competitive are far lower and take less time to achieve.

Getting from 1pl8 to 2pl8 is faster than from 2pl8 to 3pl8 and from 3pl8 to 4pl8 and on and on...
>>
>>36934360
Both bars are 20kg* sorry

What kind of bar weights 50kg? Did you weight the plates as well?
>>
>>36934434
>>36934395
>>36934387
Didn't measure the plates, but they are of the exact same brand and type as well as they always kind of circulate between the area of the gym, so are never the same.

I think at this point what is causing it is a good mix of mental expectation (literally expect to have a shitty session) and ... somewhat else, maybe that padding thing, I don't know :/

No. That was just a very very bad case. All of em have the Coach Ripp endorsed squat morning technique, so yes I'll be doubling down on squats post meet, but no point in worrying now.

callous has 90% ripped off, but there's a tiny flap of skin left.

what should i do?

Thanks for proving you missed the point. The point is about time taken. A female can appear to become stronger because she has to lift less weight and thus the time taken to progress is shorter than a man looking to have identical Wilkes.

Say you add 2.5kg a week. It will take you 40 weeks to add 100kg to your lift. A woman has achieved that 100kg in 40 weeks while the man must of if for another 40 weeks to match her wilks, and on this time she has 40 weeks to get even stronger.

Those were arbitrary units used. Let's say both men and women progressed like you at 1kg a year for 40 years. Same principle

>>36935271

Honestly, I'm just scared of it. I think snatching and jerking is enough upperbody for me (and even then I was super scared of them when I first started out). I know my shitty near-zero test levels would make for awful muscle growth even if I tried to grow my upperbody, but it's just the sort of thing that I don't wanna risk it. It would be a huge hassle to lose muscle later on if needed and I would need to stop training, which I do not want.
My shoulders are already too wide as is tbqh.

Also, it's not like I'm competing or anything, just doing it for fun, so I'm okay with not being amazingly strong.

What do you think his 1RM is??

It's a two year ban if you get caught with steroids as an active competitor, but when you sign up you basically pledge that you haven't been on in three years.

So basically is less punishment to be caught cheating

Also, I played around with the stance a little bit, and settled down with a very narrow stance, going wider for some reason really fucks my bottom tightness.

Nail clipper. I used to clip them off before I started liking them all the time. You don't feel a thing even if they're perfectly fine.

For that matter, half the skin on the frontside of your hand can be clipped off with no pain.

I asked last thread, but
How do I train myself to squat higher when mobility allows ATG? I'm bad at judging depth while squatting so just stopping at an arbitrary point won't work, I'll probably end up way too high.

Widen stance? Start doing box squats and hope that exact depth ingrains itself in my squat pattern?

Widening the stance and going back with the hips will naturally shorten the range of motion.

But if you wanna get better at "feeling" the depth, then paused or box squats can help you with it.

I think candito has a video or two specifically on this. Check on his channel.

Widen stance, let your body cut you short, don't try to force a change in depth mid-movement

Circumcision isn't a big deal IMO, I was actually referring to the intensity of my workouts fucking with my ability to get/maintain an erection, etc.

About what percent of your 1 RM is your 5 RM usually? IIRC, isn't ~90% a 3 RM? So does that mean ~85% is a 5 RM?

thought he was talking about volume-dick too desu

I'm gonna go ahead and blame my genetics for how many injuries I've had. It's incredibly frustrating how many times I've approached 200lb benches and every time I do I get and injury that throws me back to lmao1pl8. And the worst part is that 2pl8 isn't even impressive.
Not to mention that I'm 6'0 but probably couldn't properly fill out 93kg
