I finally did it. I got the damn one plate OHP.
What has /fit/ accomplished recently?
Just hit a 4 plate dead single
Almost snapped my shit up, I need to strengthen my lower back more, any suggestions apart from back extensions which I'm already doing?
>>37000415
>the got to 120 OHP
>Had to deload back to 115 after a couple weeks
FUCK
>>37000427
Do back extensions, and leg raises.
>>37000600
Shit fucking sucks. Deloading and focusing on other lifts helped cement progress for me. With determination and discipline you WILL make it.
>>37000911
Fukken saved, Japanese bro.
175lbs bench
Squatting my own bodyweight at 80kg.
Big deal for me.
My bench/OHP are trash though.
I just can't seem to get my form right.
290 bench @ 167 body weight. I can taste 3pl8
>>37000988
God damn dude, good job
>>37000999
Thanks brah. Also hit body weight OHP. The trade off is my squat is a bit shit.
Most recent was a 455 deadlift during one of my leanest periods at 154 lbs a couple months back.
Currently working towards 3x5 225 lbs bench (currently 160 lbs bodyweight). Been doing 220 3x5 for two weeks now.
A shame I still don't look like I even lift. GF says I do so it may be the dismorphia talking but I also don't trust her judgment.
>>37000427
Don't neglect your entire core in general. You'd be surprised how much better your heavy deadlifts go if your core is super stable. Likewise with grip. If your hands are getting rekt when you go heavy, your grip or technique is likely lacking.
>>37000977
Bench especially is a weird movement. It took me a while to get it down. Just keep working at it.
>>37000911
what is that webm from?
I just hit 315x5 on bench. Huge personal goal of mine. Felt so good.
>>37000415
nothing
failing on all my lifts, still weak
265 bench at 180. Gon hit that 2 and a 25 soon.
Can also OHP about 170
>>37001197
Note though: A girl asked if I lifted two weekends ago after I lifted her off a wall and put her on the ground (she was kind of bigger so I guess most guys can't lift her). feels bad man, she should be able to tell :(
>>37001220
>yea, i lift pretty heavy, otherwise i wouldnt be able to move you
finally hit 225lbs (back squat) for 5 reps while weighing 150lbs. Gonna try for 250 this week and hopefully hit 3 pl8s by the end of the month.
>>37000415
>today sunday
>brother ask me to help him and a buddy to put 2 concrete slobs on top of 12ft construction
>each slob roughly 140lbs (lmao one pl8)
>arrive and they figuring how to get the slobs on a 7ft scaffold before putting them on top
>you two get up there I handle it to you
>"impossibru" "what are you thinking of"
>muscle snatch slob
>tfw they never saw a snatch before in their lifes
>faces like they aret seeing an alien starship landing
feels good m8n
also muh functional strenght for once and for real
>>37001186
Nice job breh, I can't imagine the feeling.
It's a boy.
>>37001374
so finally you got a bf
My bench dropped from 165 x 5 to 115 x 5 because I messed up my right shoulder.
But next week I will bench 120 x 5.
>>37001327
Thanks man! I got it on video too and you can tell at the end I'm just so shocked and happy.

1pl8 bench and cut 50lbs.
>>37000600
Star training push press
I stalled at 125x5 (or 135x3). And literally just subbing out ohp for push press 2 training days was sufficient to break through.
Also, try working with your 3rm instead of 5rm.
Muscular endurance is easy to achieve, so if you are struggling with strength, focus on that, then come back to ndurance later,min stead of trying to play the middle ground.
Also, really focus on anchoring down the "four corners" of your feet. Clenching your glutes, and bracing your abs.
This helps immensely in preventing power from"leaking out" of your kinetic chain
Hit 265x3 on squat at 165 pounds. Maybe not much but feels good man
My last powerlifting meet PR's were SQ 518, BP 325, DL 535. I designed a workout plan to hit those for reps in 16 weeks. Right now I am 9 weeks into the program, right on pace. Last Friday I got SQ 2x3 485, BP 2x3 310, DL 5x1 505. Feels good when progress is planned for and happens
nothing. I decided to take a week off to do a recovery during my cut.
haven't lifted in two weeks now.
>>37001915
Dude nicely done. That's some serious weight.
>>37001192
Eat moar protons/calory
Maxed the squat today - got 325. Well on my way to becoming a proper SS tyrannosaur:
125 OHP
210 Bench
325 Squat
315 (3 x 5) DL (haven't maxed it recently)
My goal for this summer is the 1/2/3/4 pl8 mark, looking like I'll make that.
55 ohp
:^(
>tfw recently hit 2plate bench but still haven't gotten to 3plate dead
>>37003481
I know this feeling. Keep at it, make sure your bench keeps up, and eat a lot. It will move.
>>37000427
I did 275 5 reps the other day, felt good, just the right amount of total cns surge and weight with the struggle.
I'm in the same boat, have mild lordosis (hyper lower back arc and stomach sticks out). I'm focusing on stregthening lower lats with rows pulling in toward rib cage. Back Ext with a 25lbs weight held behind head.
Also, did front squats today and felt a burn all in through the lower back.
>>37000415
5plate deadlift.
Now the hunt is on for 500lbs. After which I really should get my shitty diet in check before I become a complete fat fuck.
>hit 100 for 5
>next time can't do 105
>hit 105 for 5
>next time can't hit 105
>deload to 95
>have to work way back up
fuck me dude I hate OHP sometimes
>>37000927
How do you save webms by the way
>>37005433
DUDE right click, save video or link
>>37000415
I saw this bear mode looking dude at my college gym who was wearing a shirt for our med school (ranked pretty high actually).
He loaded up 2 plate in the squat rack and I was thinking "I can't tell but I bet he has chicken legs for squatting that 2 plate. Hell, I can do that."
Then he fucking OHP'd 2 plate for clean reps. Holy shit. Up to that point, I saw ONE guy OHP 1 plate once. 2 plate was stupid strong in person.

Uuuhh okay but are they only available through VLC or something? How do I reopen them?
>>37000415
1RM or for reps?
I'm doing 50kg x 5 so I might be able to squeeze out 1pl8
>>37006036
>vlc or just throw the file into chrome lol
>tfw can't improve on ohp because of injury
55kg (121 evil units) 5 reps, one pl8 with shittiest form possible. my triceps is too weak
>always lift on nike air
>hit barriers at bodyweight squat and 1.25x bodyweight DL (weigh 225, yes chubster)
>always lifted on nike airmax with the air bubble
>if I try to go higher heel hurts after racking
>google it on my phone
>literally first hit is a forum "ARE YOU WEARING NIKE AIRS?"
>take off nikes, barefoot fggt
>added 10lbs to squat and DL and the reps went much easier then 10lbs lighter with nike airs
>immediately order lifting shoes with noncompressing flat soles after
I learned the importance of not using nike air for lifting
>>37006518
I'm using Salomon running shoes, easily repping 2pl8 which is 1.1 x BW, no pain
>>37006518
>tfw I use standard sneakers
>>37000415
I hit 2playt OHP a month or two ago. Lot of layback though.
I also clean and jerked 300 lbs. That was fun. And PR'ed deadlifts at 500 lbs
>>37000427
Get a decent belt and learn how to hold you back in extension.
Unless you have a REALLY long torso, if you're doing it right to start with, you really shouldn't need to worry about strengthening your back more than deadlifts already do until you get in to staggeringly heavy weights.
>>37002939
>not lifting during a cut
Enjoy your muscle loss
>>37000977

I do hope you people are seriously bulking.
>>37006518
I recently switched to converse to lift in and Ive noticed a slight improvement, not massive but definitely feel more stable.
anyway, I recently hit 90kg on my squat currently at 56kg bw, I can almost taste that lmao2pl8 which Im pretty stoked about
>>37000427
Not sure on this but you could try to throw in static holds. L-sit, handstand, back/side/one arm planks.
>>37006046
I can do 50 for 5x5.
Tried the 60 but wouldn't go up. :(
Was at the end of my workout, some time after the 5x5 though.
>>37006615
>56kg bw
Why?
