how many high-tier IPF athletes train 5-6 days a week? is it all that common?? only one i can really think of off the top of my head is mr. natty layne. i'm sure there are others but can someone fill me in?

I doubt it, them chemists know all about that. He wouldn't be so utterly confident otherwise. We'll just know what's on paper. Look at the Oly lifters, how many years and competitions they passed clean. I don't want to accuse baselessly, but at the same time it's hard to find peace of mind given the current ability to catch and deter cheaters.

Give me your best tip/cue that helps prevent buttwink/back-rounding on squats!
>>
>>37719347
NC, sorry bb
>>
>>37719360
Stop squatting so deep.
Either widen your stance until you CAN'T squat that deep, or stick a box under your butt to train yourself to only JUST break parallel.

Buttwink isn't inherently harmful, but it makes my PTA friend cringe every time he sees me do it.

It's not a matter of beauty, it's a matter of senselessly increasing ROM, even at the cost of spinal integrity.
It's like if you randomly decided that deadlifts don't count unless you heave the bar up to touch your belly button with it.

>Looking back on the IPF champs this past week in Texas..
I came here to do one thing and that was to win gold. I didn't care for the number that took to do or what record it was, quite frankly the records don't mean a thing to me. I just wanted the win.
I knew it was going to be a great battle against Haack from USA and it turned out to be just that. It came down to this, the last deadlift of 327.5kg but it just wasn't to be.
Massive respect to Haack though, a real champion deciding to compete in opens as a junior where he had no competition, choosing not to take the easy win, and squatting 298kg also going 9/9. That's how you win championships, you make lifts and build a total.
Looking back at the last two performances I have been expecting so much from myself which I always do and just have not executed. 2 in a row where I've hit 5 from 9 on the platform, time to take a good look at re assess where everything is at and get to work on rebuilding a better lifter on the platform. I've come back from bad meets before and I'll do it again.

>>37721780
to squat lower, all you have to do is consciously force yourself to squat lower.

i'd recommend doing it with lighter weight. if you immediately jump to squatting deeper at your current max weight, you'll most likely either fail the rep or unconsciously stop yourself from going deeper during the squat.
>>
>>37721780
is it 170kg and 200kg respectively

Depth is actually pretty consistent with different weights. I'll deload to really focus on depth though I feel it's more of a biomechanical limitation.

I was told going over 0.5 lbs gained per week will just make you fat. This feels so slow though. My squat and deadlift have both gone up around 30+ lbs since mid april and my bench has gone up around 20+ lbs though.

Overextending the lower back, not bracing your abs right.

Can confirm, I have god tier mobility after spending months on it religiously, turns out I wasn't bracing properly and expanding obliques and lower back too. Try breathing exercises.

This happened just now :

> Program is Memeburn, Bench + OHP day
> begin warmup and workout, feeling pretty good
> 1st set with triples is excellent, getting excited
> it goes downhill from that point forward
> more and more fatigued
> have to grind a lot
> unable to squeeze the bar in my hands
> barely finish 8x3
> get to ohp, supposed to hit another 8x3
> barely get 3 triples and decide it's futile to go for another 5 triples
> do some pullups and call it day

Sleep was not perfect, have an exam tommorow so a bit stressed and have IBS so I had some mild diarrhea 2 hours before the workout so that could explain it all.

Question is what do I do next? Continue as if it didnt happen? Eat more? Take an extra day off? Take a half-week or a full week deload (last half week deload was sadly just 3 weeks ago)? Repeat the workout?

>>37723449
no, if you want to do ohp and bench then you do bench monday thursday and ohp tuesday friday, dont forget your pumpsets
>>
>>37723470
How are you supposed to recover in 24 hours? Benching one day and OHPing the next one sounds counterproductive, same with squats and deadlifts? Also I 've read many times that pump sets are overkill and even Doug himself decided to later to leave them out of the program.
>>
>>37723470
>pumpsets

Light accessory work is fine, but by all means do not do the pump sets. Those are a men's fitness level meme.

Sets of 6 to 8 with a decent intensity of weight is not going to benefit recovery it is going to hinder it.

>cant handle volume?
Bitch I'll teach your grandmother how to run Smolov.

Lol, but seriously, the power and pump routine is too much volume to recover from for anybody that is intermediate or higher in terms of progression.

The Hepburn progressions are meant to be run in Cycles not concurrently.
>>
I was thinking about jumping to sheiko 4 days medium load from 531, any experiences about it?
>>
>>37723580
Buda, what is the correct way to run it in a 4-day split? Squat + Bench day A, Deadlift + OHP day B? Or Upper-Lower? And 8x2 adding 2 reps per workout till you reach 8x3 (or 1 rep when progression becomes slower)?
>>
>>37723557

Boardie did for a while, maybe ask him what he thought of it.
>>
>leave the rest of the world to us
What did we mean by this?

Squat and deadlift weights looks really low in sheiko 4 days medium load is there some reason for this?
>>
>>37723503
I ran Hepburn like this for 9 months last year ant went from 95 to 135 Bench. Doing Bench and OHP on seperate days is far better than trying to do both in one.
>>37723504
The "men's fitness level meme" pumpsets about double your exercise specific volume. They are crucial to gains on Hepburn.

I'd recommend Squat and bench, then overhead press and deadlift. You might see it listed as an upper lower elsewhere but the stronger you get the harder it will be to maintain.


Keep working up doubles to triples until it becomes a struggle to keep from grinding repetitions.

If that begins then start doing singles in about 90% Kama aiming to accumulate four up to ten singles at 90% in one session. So you just keep adding a single per session.


When you can't maintain that any longer, either cycle back the doubles to triples, or even better would be to do 5 working up to 7 or 8 repetition sets.

Myosynthesis actually has a good write-up on it.

>>37723655
>They are crucial to gains on Hepburn.
If you're really new to lifting you might be able to maintain it but ideally they're meant to be periodised before the doubles and triples even begin.
>>
>>37723684
If you cant handle the pumpsets you shouldnt be doing Hepburn.
>>
>>37723695
Good theory bro.

However you'll be limiting Hepburn to only those that are new intermediate or lower.
>>
>>37723684

>>
>>37723684
Good response, thanks a lot.

As for the pump sets, it really sounds like an overkill both in terms of volume and in terms of time per workout if you 're handling even a moderately heavy load
>>
>>37723706
Thats who it should be limited to.
>>
>>37723718
>overkill

It is. You're adding a whole other workout worth of volume on top of what is already a challenging daily workload.

This would be a fun challenge if you were making ridiculous strength gains to keep up with the relative low intensity, but for most of us, that isn't a possibility.

Keep it short and sweet (like me).

>>37723734
>it should be limited
No. If you periodize it, it can work for almost any level of lifter.
>>
>>37723750
>If you periodize it
What do you mean by this?
>>
>>37723791
>periodize it
>What do you mean by this?

Hepburn already "auto-periodizes" on a small scale, but using a wider range of reps at different parts of the training cycle allows for greater over-reach.
>>
>>37723811
With no pumpsets therell be no overreach to speak of tbqh grandpa.

At this point, you're either doing what we used to call "trolling", or you are stupid.

Lifting must be scary with such one dimensional thinking. There is all of maybe 15 possible programs to follow, and anything outside of that is bad and scary...

Lol.

Good luck, sprout. I've got big boy things to attend to today (grandpa stuff).

If you have any questions, try google.

Should I use inflated maxes in sheiko medium load 4 days? Deadlift and squat weights seems kinda low.
>>
>>37723896
You're on here recommending Hepburn without pumpsets which is bad enough on its own, atleast for upper body lifts, and then even recommending moving on to singles.
This results in so little volume its not even funny. Most of the twinks on here need to grow muscle and just hammer away at volume, not do 8 sets of singles in a session.

Last post, as I really need to leave now:

See the picture.

>Volume high, intensity low.
Then...
>Volume and intensity moderate.
Then...
>Volume low and intensity high.

This is elementary level sports science.

You're trying to train major stimuli concurrently, which will not yield the same benefits as basic periodization.

Adios, good luck, god speed. I've had enough internet for the day.

>>
>>37724076
I know what periodization is, but the volume from powersets alone even in the "high" volume phase is a joke and most people would be much better off doing the pump sets and trying to milk linear progression gains from hepburn for as long as possible and then be done with it, instead of wasting alot of their time essentially peaking instead of building strength to display mediocre lifts when they could just do more volume.
Also im mostly talking bench/ohp here.

They ain't. If you have a day of 85% doubles feel free to ramp the weight up to test yourself and get some heavy weight on your back/hands, but 70-80% is still very productive work.
