No no, it's not the knee - it's like the insertion point of the hamstrings in the kneecap, I guess.
It feels like the hamstring is being pulled on really fucking hard. But it feels weird and nasty, not good.

Reverse hypers, deadlifts, rdl?

Why do I squat 30 lb more than my deadlift

So we're clear my squat is 535 and deadlift is 505
>>
>>37512286
You're a pussy and neglect deadlift volume
>>
>>37512295
Deadlift volume and squat volume almost identical t b h lad
>>
>>37512286
High squats, poor DL form, incredibly shitty DL leverages.
>>
>>37512286
maybe you squat alot more and neglect deadlift
mine are pretty close (but dead is still higher)

or of course there is always the possibillity you are cutting depth but we know you will say you arent so whatever
>>
>>37512257
Obviously it actually inserts below the knee, yes.
But by in the knee cap I mean very close to it, which it is.

Switch to sumo stance and watch ur deadlift shit on ur squat overnight
>>
>>37512300
Deadlift more
That's the only solution. Increasing volume is literally the only fucking way to progress.

That's the fundamentals of weight lifting for fucks sake
>>
>>37512212
Googled it and read that hams should not be worked in isolation as they are meant to work with glutes or some shit.
One should either do this
>>37512268
or use a ball and do some kind of curls that way.
I can't do RDLs due to inflexibility though. Are they still legit when done from blocks / the rack?

Otherwise I will try and see how I can get revers hypers or this ball stuff to work with weight.

My hips are totally fucked, my APT almost looks clownish because my ass sticks out like crazy.
Did these lunges today, spent around 45-60 seconds per leg.
Felt brutal but good.

But it will need some time to unfuck this hip situation and during that time I cannot conventional nor RDL without rounded lower back.

It doesn't matter, he's probably using retardedly high weight.

Dietmar-type programs often have hamstring curls programmed in, and it's really just an issue of using easy weights. Like guys that deadlift 250kg+ hamstring curling like no more than 40kg.
>>
>>37512415
I see my man. Ever thought of seeing a physio? If not check out "Dr Kelly Starlett" on YouTube. He has a lot of great mobility videos if you check the "playlists" section.

>>37512434
Yea, I know that guy and about is books.
Watched a few of his videos but they are so overloaded with information that I can't really comprehend the information behind it after.
In all of his videos I saw of him he goes around and shows this and then that and then also very important is doing this, and then here another variation and then also do that, etc.

Mad respect for all his knowledge, but I need something time efficient that covers the most important issues that I am dealing with.

And I think, for the moment, I need to adress my fucked update hip flexors and work on my weak hams and glutes and spinal erectors.
>>
>>37512426
Too much weight might be a thing, yep.
But I thought making them stronger is the purpose of doing them in the first place?

>tfw squat 3rm is 140kg and sumo diddly is 190kg

>>37512498
Yes, but start out with weight you can EASILY handle, this is kind of the key to Dietmar-type programming, it's actually never supposed to be weight you can't control, this is also why most accessory slots are left open in terms of weight; did it feel shitty? Lower the weight, no harm done.
>>
>>37512489
I strongly recommend, despite all sense and reason, you don't take the logical approach and try to fix what you think is the matter.

I recommend you find the video from his channel that best suits your needs and go over it slowly and really listen to what he says.

If you post the exact video I could analyse it for you.
>>
>>37512498
I do them for sets of 10 desu. Feels really good after doing a bunch of quad dominant stuff right before it

>>37512503
My conventional was miserable. Built up to 310x5 through 5 lb LP and then tanked for no reason down 20 lbs or so. After my pec tears, they were both the same weight, so I said fuck it.
>>
>>37512520
Haven't really found the relevant video to my issue on his channel, to be honest.

I mean, I can simply search for APT fixes, but then I'll just end up finding stretches for the hip flexors - and that is what I am doing anyways.

Or where exactly do you think my logic might fail me? I can see in the mirror that I have APT, so I do stretches for my hip flexors.
>>
>>37512597
I just wanna make sure you're doing the right thing. Making logical steps without experience can be counter intuitive.

As long as you're sure what you're doing is right is all I wanted.

Long shot asking here but deadlifting is hurting my knee

Any good YouTube videos on the subject?
>>
>>37512627
Sumo?
>>
>>37512652
Conventional. Very high volume and frequency.
>>
>>37512612
Well, that's cool of you.
But at this point I'll just trial and error until I am bored of trying to keep up with my body's resistance against lifting heavy weights.

Had back pain, held me back a great deal, eventually fixed.
Then realized I can't even conventional no matter how much i practice hip hinge.

Then my fucking knees start hurting for no reason that would be apparent from looking at my form (to me and others in this plg).

Now I am left at doing sumo deadlift and not squatting, doing abitrary things that I read on the Internet as measurement to possible causes of knee pain in the squat.
Which is addressing muscle imbalances such as weak core, glutes and hams as well as tight quads.

I'll do this for like 2 months, then start squatting again, will probably run into something stupid again and then eventually I will most likely do something else that is more suited for me.

>>37512669
In my honest opinion all this stretching business seems like it wont help much.
I mean you never had these issues before without stretching. They're just issues which heed rehabilitation IMHO

yes stretching helps, but I feel it's best to keep stretching vague and not target all these minute muscles and what not. Logically stretching the protagonist muscle will just make the antagonist muscle (and visa versa) tighter in comparison and surely that would be a cause of issue?

Honestly if I were you I'd get a referral to a physio to fix my hips, as first priority.

But I've gone full circle. If you're confident that's what you need to do to fix the issue then ignore me please. I'm only giving my I out on what I understand of the situation, without your experience.

Biggest cause of APT in my experience is weak glutes and abs, especially abs, from never learning how to brace. Stretching can only do so much for you if you dont fix the motor issues behind the problem.

Lunge stretches are great since you need glute action for any sort of stretch, so keep up woth those. But most importantly learn to use your core, not just rectus but all the internal abdominals as well. Planks are great for this.

You may need to go down in the weights youre lifting in order to brace properly. Do planks before squats/deads to prime your CNS. Watch Chris Duffin and KStarr information on how to brace and what bracing is. Do very slow paused and breathing (staying in the hole with the bar for 15-20 breaths or more) squats/deads.

Good luck my man, youll figure it out.

Hey, Alex. What size knee sleeves do you think would fit for me? I'm thinking of getting medium SBDs. I want them to come on/off pretty easily for training.
>>
>>37512789
What's up Alex?
>>
>>37512737
I didn't have these issues before lifting, no.
But it seems logical that through lifting the muscle groups became bigger and were put under more stress than when I wasn't lifting.
It only seems logical that a bigger muscle that is also stressed regularly has a bigger potential of becoming tight and also having greater impact.
And it also seems logical that muscle imbalances become way severe by lifting, since the gap is being stretched out even harder.

I can't remember having such APT before I started lifting, for example.

I appreciate your input and i will likely consider involving a PT along the way, but for now I will just follow what I have laid out in my mind and see where it takes me.
It won't be too much of a loss if it ends up not working, there are plenty of other activities that I can do in life.

see the sizing chart. mine are in the car and I'm in the house drinking a chocolate chip frappe and eating mcdonalds, but I'm pretty positive mine are larges. I'm sure mediums would work fine for you, and if not you'll grow into them.

>>37512802
work was ok today and I just got home. drive that usually takes about an hour took me a touch over 2 hours because some dumbcunts got into an accident on an already notoriously busy highway. plus it's 92F here so the drive went from an hour of being comfy and listening to podcasts to being 2 hours of me sweating my dick off.

so I'm happy to be where I am now.
>>
>>37512804
Also, this might sound memey but the Ashtanga standing sequences are extremely athletic and worth doing.

Especially the triangle poses, they help teach you how to hip hinge one leg at a time, so muscle tightness doesnt really interfere. If youre really bad APT your hamstrings wont want to let go in any sort of bent over position, especially not under load, since letting go even more could hurt your back. So teaching them its 'ok to let go' one leg at a time in the triangle poses is a great way to form proper motor patterns, since the back is safe.
>>
>>37512833
Try setting it higher up for deads
>>
>>37512798
That sounds good, like somewhat promising that I might be on the right track.

I'll still have to figure out how to work my glutes properly.
Glute bridges felt weird. People told me and actually demonstrated that they started with 100kg doing them and that I should be able to do that easily too.
But the exercise just feels weird, kind of. I think that I just have no concept of glute activation.
Can't remember ever feeling them in my squat.
Same for hamstrings.

For bracing .... Yea, I think it's not too bad, but it can be improved most likely. I am a real mental-let when it comes to it though. Bracing really, really hard is such an uncomfortable feeling that instantly rises the urge to stop it inside of me every time I do it.
It's like the most exhausting thing is bracing and not actually lifting the weight.

As for core work I will either do planks of ab wheel rollouts.
Rollouts I did today, must say it felt weird and I believe my freaking lower abs had some kind of cramp at some point. They started feeling weird and I stopped.

Planks with some weight on my back actually felt quite nice, a real good 45 seconds of trying to not let the hip drop and a real good feeling of exhaustion at the end.
So I guess I'll stick with planks
>>
>>37512832
The sizing chart has me right on the cusp of medium and large, but I'm such a twink I don't believe it.
>>
>>37512843
Interesting.

I had Marcel once told me to practice hip hinging with a broom stick, trying to keep it in touch with the back at all three points while bending back.
Never really snapped in my head though, never really did it with great motivation either thogh.

I'll add what you mentioned to the list. Since I can't squat at the moment I have enough time to fill and it sounds promising.
>>
>>37512861
>Don't recall ever feeling [glutes] in the squat
Squat like Rippe teaches and that's all you'll feel lel
>>
>>37512888
Sitting back at lot and having a real flat back angle?

Strangely not, no. All that does is making my lower back feel shit, because once again it requires more hip hinging, which I can't do properly, and this end up with a rounded lower back in a motion that is back dominant.
Not a good combination for me

Squat isnt really a huge mover in the squat despite the meme. Primarily hamstring and quads. It does help stabilize the pelvis so that they can do their work, though.

And yes, bracing should be the hardest part of the movement. You get used to it.

Do your planks right before squats/deads. Not to exhaustion or failure, but to prime the bracong pattern. Also, those paused breathing sets will do more for you than you might think. Do them heavy but not so heavy you'll hurt yourself.

That broomstick thing is silly, I have seen it before but not everyone is built the same. Even on the veterbral disc level there are variations in angles, so your neutral spine may not be with all three points on a plane. Your CNS is built to protect the spine though, so long as youre not dysfunctional. its better to learn proper bracing and let everything fall into place than to micro manage everything.

Of course the glutes are a huge mover in the squat, what makes you think otherwise? In the low bar squat (if you lean over enough) the hamstrings don't actually change length very much due to the knee and hip flexion usually being fairly balanced, meaning their function is primarily isometric. They only really lengthen to a great degree if you try and keep your shins pretty vertical.

In the bottom of an ATG front squat however, the hamstrings are as shortened as they can be, therefore they can't contribute much to hip extension out of the bottom whatsoever. That is why front squatting can give you glute doms if you're not used to doing them, since they're having to do most of the hip extension work themselves.

The glutes will always be lengthened and contribute tremendously to hip extension in any type of squat.

Hi plg I'm a new friend. How do I into powerlifting?

I've been lifting around 10 months (with 5 months of fucking around not knowing what the fuck I was doing i.e. didnt even squat or deadlift) and my stats are (lbs):

Bench: 185
Squat: 240
Diddly: 305

I know I'm still weak as shit but that's aside the point. Should I keep doing a 3-days-a-week full body 3x5 routine until I gain more strength or should I switch to a different program that would more suit someone who's ultimate goal is to be a powerlifter?

hey guys, been cutting for a few months (I was chubby before). I'm not cut yet, but I'm ~15% bodyfat so I don't look fat. Just don't look cut. I'm also tall and have always been bigger all my life. So for me it's hard to get to lower bodyfat (not saying it's impossible, definately is). To give you an idea when I started lifting I weighed 280 but I didn't even look fat (just chubby I guess). That gives you an idea of how I carry weight. I'm 220 now (@6'4).

Basically, I've reached a point where I really don't want to cut anymore since I feel like shit in the gym, but at the same time is it too soon? Shouldn't I be like 12%?

I want to start slow bulking so that I can reach my goals of 3 pl8 bench / 4 pl8 squat / 5pl8 deadlift. I was very close to reaching those goals prior to my cut. Should I just say fuck it and end my cut? I've lost quite a bit of strength so want to go back to a slow bulk.


any advice?

Go for it. No idea why people are discouraging you from testing your 1rm so often. It's not as if it'll put you out of the gym for any amount of time. Do it for shits n giggles imo, even if you are still progressing

As long as you're comfortable with how fat you are and would be comfortable being slightly fatter, don't cut. I wasted a couple months when I started lifting cutting until I had abs. I'd be much better off if I hadn't done that I think.

>>37513960
I know lmao, I go to the gym to lift, not to look good. I just wear what's comfy. Was definitely keeping the bar against my shins though.

Shithouse workout

felt like shit, was weak as shit

5x120kg squats? did 3 reps last week, barely managed singles today. 5x52.5kg OHP went up so that's a half kilo PR which is pathetic. Deadlift singles felt ok at 150 but i gave up after two doubles.

Lack of sleep last night+ shit diet all last week=shithouse workout

eating 100g brocolini and 250g bok choy with 200g+ chicken in a soy, honey and chilli sauce with a dash of lemon. back to monitoring my protein and vegetable content for me

this is also the first time in a long time i ate before working out, and worked out in the afternoon instead of the morning. felt really sick during my squat workouts and just heavy and shit the whole time.

After the 18th and the 1rm day, i'll cut down a bit,like to 75kg, then start a slower more controlled bulk back to 82. then i won't do 1rm days as much as i'll go for 1rm's when my 5rm catches up to my 1rm instead.

I hit 2pl8x1 the other day and I would say 80kg is my 8rm on a good day. I have done 90kgx3 though. Start doing singles around 90 and get a lot of CLEAN reps in around 75-80kg and you could hit it for a single within a month or sooner depending on how hard you try.

I'm doing Nuckol's 3x a week bench intermediate, and I'm coming up to the last session where you either do a 5+ AMRAP at 85% to set your new max, or you test your max directly. If I'm pretty sure I can get a higher 'max' on the AMRAP should I do this or not?
