FAT FUCK GENERAL
How do I start powerlifting? I am a beginner in general but want to focus on this
>>74748572Unironically starting strength, just dont get fat while doing it. Read up on how to run it correctly, this is a good article https://startingstrength.com/get-started/programsJust do barbell rows 3x5 instead of the power cleans since your goal is powerlifting, power clean is more for general athleticism and explosiveness which dont come in handy with pl
>>74748255LMAO3PL8, bw: 205.8lb. Back seems mostly recovered after tweaking 1.5 weeks ago, going to reintroduce squats carefully
>>747485721: pick a powerlifting program, theres dozens2: train for 3 months3: decide if you wanna continue this style of training4: look up competition in your area5: register and compete(or don't, all steps are optional)
>>74748611I guess this is actually 313lb since that's a 20kg plate, I'll add on some change and retry

>>74749622Me. Let R = DOTS/BMI. Then I identify a few categories of lifters.> R < 10: fatass> 10 < R < 15: intermediate> 15 < R < 20: advanced> R > 20: world classSelf identified powerlifters typically have R values below 10, even some world class professional fatties like ray williams>DOTS is a measure of strength>BMI can be interpreted as a measure of aesthetics>Therefore R is a combined measure of strength and aestheticsRay williams seems to be around 10, so on the cusp of fatass and intermediate.>Fatass: neither respectable strength nor aesthetics>Intermediate: respectable strength, poor aesthetics>Advanced: respectable strength, respectful aesthetics>World class: on another level. God tier strength without sacrificing aesthetics.Only two people in this general are advanced, and I'm one of them.

>>74751416>TRUST ME>TRUST A STRANGER
Anyone here made good gains with Texas Method? I'm thinking of running it. Chase Lindley inspires me to follow Rippetoe's path
>>74751440you're a stranger to me too, dawg
>>74751450Yes, people have made good gains on one of the most popular and efficient intermediate programs. I thought you said you were going to run it a few weeks ago.
Will vaping increase my appetite?
>>74751486for dick
>>74751480You make a good point. Yeah i think i'm gonna do it but still haven't pulled the trigger, forgive my dumb posting
>>74751486Nicotine does the opposite
>>74751509I get why you're curious though. Not like I didn't check out training logs of people that followed it before I switched. Do you just want to know what kind of progress others made? I can grab my old notebook and check how much my lifts went up in about a year of running it if you want.
>>74751529Nah man i appreciate it though, don't want to bother you with something i'm not even sure i'm gonna do. Was just curious about what are people's thoughts on this program here. I heard alphadestiny detrained on it because of lack of volume and had to switch to conjugate to start making gains again, so i'm my mind it's probably a hit or miss but i dig the minimalist approach ot it
>>74751313Nice pace anon,
>>74751557Too bad. Already checked because I was curious myself. Switched from SS to 4 day TM with a 5x130 squat in the last week of August last year (which IIRC is higher than your current squat). I hit 200kg for one at the end of April. I doubt you're going to find a more efficient program for your squat at this stage. Deadlifts are programmed normally with a single heavy set a week and then some assistance work of your choice on the second day, so nothing interesting there. Other people have made more upper progress on TM than me, but that's mostly due to me having really, really poor bench technique (5x80 to 5x100). My OHP did go from 5x50 to 1x80 however, so that approach did seem to work for me. Maybe you'd want to change bench rep schemes, but you could probably still try it out first considering your current bench max and because your technique is better. AFAIK most people have no trouble getting (close to) 3pl8 on TM.It was really shitty for aesthetical gains, but a few months ago I started programming in some random isolation and easy volume work and that is very easy to do on the 4 day template. Recovery has been rather easy for the most part even after dropping my 500kcal surplus to like 250 on average. I've also had some serious health issues that affected my recovery really hard. Right now I'm not planning on switching yet, because I could definitely get my squat much further with this, but I might change the two upper days and keep the other two days the same. At what numbers did AlphaDestiny fail?>minimalismThat's why it's nice. It's simple and fast, it teaches you autoregulation, and then once you have a feel for it you can start tweaking things to your own liking. I've looked into other intermediate programming, but it all looks so slow and convoluted.
>>74751615Lol thanks for the data>which IIRC is higher than your current squatYeah current 1RM is 150, been doing 120 for 5x3 but at a low RPE with a lot of room to grow thankfully>It was really shitty for aesthetical gainsThat's what i feared. I'm a 26yo male with a lot of testosterone and want to look good for the ladies, bodybuilding work seems to be non negotiable, alas. I have to fit that into the program while not spending too much time training, i've been using supersets and it's very effective so i'll just abuse that for my accessories>At what numbers did AlphaDestiny fail?No idea, just remember him mentioning that in a video of hisI was thinking of the 3 day TM because i forgot to mention but i'm a fan of the high frequency too, i made my best bench gains benching 3 times a week and overhead pressing 1. So on TM i like the 3x squat but bench alternates between 2 and 1, which sucks. I'll figure it out
>>74751683You can have a bodybuilding/accessory day if you can do 4 days a week on 3 day TM
>>74751713That's true i didnt think of that
>>74751683There's enough room on the 4 day for me to add in a bunch of 5x10 isolation work. I think Andy Baker has an article on that. That would be much more difficult on the 3 day, because it's way more difficult to recover from, and because the days just take so long to get through already. Only things like bench and squat variations are more difficult to program in, I think, though I've replaced some of the OHP volume day sets for high rep incline. Doing higher rep sets on accessoires like rows and dips also hasn't hurt me too much. Do I now look like a lean bodybuilder? No, but I like the way I look clothed regardless. In the end we're in /plg/ and I assume you care about strength first and foremost.>So on TM i like the 3x squatThis is torture.>but bench alternates between 2 and 1To be clear: not on the 4 day. Bench twice, OHP twice.

>>74752080p sure theyre both farms bars
>>74752080its just the farmers with the handle down right now
>>74752046NTA but the other one who posted my 3-day TM. It's not so much different from what I was already doing on a 4-day full body split.You have toa) restrict rest times and get used to being comfortable under persistent fatigueb) start lighter and progress slower to enable the above. 1kg increments on volume is fine, you don't have to autistically follow a spreadsheet.3-4 minutes for main lift volume work, 2-3 for accessory compounds, 1-2 for isolations. I get done in 1-1.5 hours, Monday is going to be longer. Bring juice or something to cope if you have to.
>>74752088>>74752091oh true, I guess photo perspective confused me. are you doing this for max distance or set distance/laps and how long is the course?
>>74752094I usually get done in 2 to 2.5 hours, it's a problem. I've been resting 3 min for isolations but i just realized that's fucking dumb, i'm gonna do 2 min and superset with some other isolation while resting, that's gonna cut some good time. Also your layout seems max comfy
>>74752046You'll learn to like them, maybe. It's good for work capacity at least. The torture thing was mostly referring to doing squats thrice a week. Just having a few days between sessions makes it so much more bearable.>It also seems like i would be too trashed by the end of the main work to then do bodybuilding accessories, i'm sure i could squeeze some in On the 4 day this really is no problem. Work up to one or two heavy sets, then switch to the second compound and do 5x5 with shorter rest inbetween. After that you should have plenty of time to superset your accessories. The only day I feel seriously trashed is the volume squat + heavy diddly day.>but not all that i'm trying to doLife is all about compromises :^)>>74752094I personally don't think I could recover on your template, but my recovery is gimped in the first place. Do you really feel like this works better for you? The only big benefit I can see is being able to stay home one extra day, but at the cost of a lot of extra trouble.>1kg increments on volume is fineYou can also just keep your VD the same for a few weeks in a row without much trouble. Just increase based on feeling.
>>74752132>Work up to one or two heavy sets, then switch to the second compound and do 5x5 with shorter rest inbetweenWhen you put it like that it does seem doable>Life is all about compromises :^)RealYou guys make good points, i might just do it. I'm juggling between TM and self programming in my head. And crazily enough i've been progressing with self programming, but TM just seems comfy and it would be a nice change of pace
>>74752132It's mainly for time constraints in the coming semester so I'm settling into it now. Will prob do tuesday-thursday-saturday to limit lifting to 2 days monday through friday.I'd do a 4 day otherwise.
>>74752129>i'm gonna do 2 min and superset with some other isolation while restingThat's how you do it on a full body split. 1 minute rest times or less in between antagonists. You can do this with stuff like dips + pull-ups too but increase to 1-1.5 min, basically just go again once breathing isn't a limiting factor.

Well, shit. The bulk only lasted like a month and a half. I feel obese again and look like shit. Went from like 170 to 187 in a month and a half. Maybe a lot of it is water or fluids, and I tend to retain a lot of water, but damn I do look like shit. Too many cookies. I just don't think this bulk really is helping with my powerlifting at this point at all desu
>>74753138
>>74752195You can do 4-day TM spread through a week and a half, no need to cram the 4 days wuthin a week. Like:Monday: Upper 1Wednesday: Lower 1Friday: Upper 2Monday: Lower 2Wednesday: Upper 1And so on and so forth.Plenty of time to recover and room for all the pretty bpy accesories you want.You can always cram two days in a row occasonally if you got the time, a change of schedule or whatever.Lifting doesn't need to adhere to a super setted schedule like work of school.
6 days out from comp doing stupid things on sketchy setups. Curious whether mdb jerk recoveries will be a good accessory. Also signed up to another highland games. Maybe this time I'll manage to flip the caber.
>>74753704The chinese like doing partials like that, so possibly.
ive failed 405 squat 3 weeks in a row now. im 90% sure it should be there by now. what tf do i do, is it a mental thing
>>74753765Why have you tried 3 weeks in a row? Deload or restart your block and build back up. What's your program look like?
>>74753796backsquat mondays. frontsquats fridays. i don't have a set /rep /progression scheme right now. all 3 weeks I went for the 405 then did some volume with 3 plates after failing it
>>74753810You can progress your weight for volume too
>>74753765>>74753810Keep trying. Like you said, it should be there by now. I actually use the same strategy. When I began lifting three years ago I loaded up 315 on the bar on my first day. I've been failing it every week since, but if I just keep at it then it'll work out somehow. I too should be there by now.
>>74753860funnier in your head i guess
>>74753810If you aren't doing linear progression, probably a good idea do a set/rep progression or at the very least track volume and make sure you're getting progressive overload. No point going to failure each week.
>>74753869Agreed. Not as funny as the retard who ego lifts, fails THREE weeks in a row, and now probably is weaker than when he started and lost a months worth of progress. LMAO!
>>74753887alright. thanks>>74753895i guess i deserve that but fuck you
>>74752652Valid opinion. Chalk will be identified as cheating in future iterations. If you recall, the original had heels as okay but got modified to cheating to piss off the mobilitylets

Are more advanced programs "easier" because your 1rm is higher you need more time to recover I assume so there's more lighter days?
>>74753138>187Is this what /plg/ considers a twink? /Plg/ will unironically and seriously say this person should gain 15 lbs? Holy fuck
>>74753991He looks pretty good and will look much bigger and stronger while wearing a shirt than any natty hypertrophy fag. Unless you want to prove me wrong by posting your body?>>74754019Stop samefagging.>>74754012>However, the training loads that the advanced athlete must handle in order to produce an adaptation are also quite high, since the adaptations that brought the athlete to the advanced stage have already occurred. This level of training volume and intensity is very taxing and requires longer periods of recovery than do intermediate training loads. Both the loading and the recovery parameters must be applied in more complex and variable ways and over longer periods of time. When combined, the loading and recovery periods required for successful progress range in duration from a month to several months.Read Practical Programming.

>>74754267he has a coach now in some capacity, at least for training grip
>>74753138Anon you still look pretty good, but slow your bulk down. You can only add 0.5 - 1lb of muscle per week. And 1lb is at the gifted end of the genetic range. It doesn't matter how much you beat you'll still only add muscle at that rate. So drop your caloric excess to something more reasonable. Slow bulk will still add some fat but it will be in a much better proportion to muscle.
>>74754358Different grip widths and stances exist. Also bands are cheap and easy to get. You can add boxes, blocks, pins, etc. That would give you a fuckton of variety without needing specialty bars.

>>74754937Good point. If you fail a lift then it's all mental. Or you just needed to prime that CNS with a heavy walkout. Or maybe your chakras and vibes were all off. And you lifted on a day where your horoscope was negative. Did you forget to play your favorite song?Everything aside from, you know, the weight simply being too heavy.>>747549704th time is the charm. The complete lack of proper intensity these last three weeks have prepared you for this. WAGMI.

>cut 10lbs>previous lever belt notch is too loose>one notch down is too tight for squats but good for DL/hingesThis is hell

>>74755294I tried doing volume in squat and DL without a belt for a few months and discovered that it's useless
>>74754993>OR TECHNIQUEIVE WORKED UPTO A HEAVY SINGLE BEFORE DOING BACK OFF SET OF 10,MAKES IT FEEL SUPER LIGHT
>>74755392good point>>74753765anon, load up 455, do a single, THEN attempt 405. guaranteed success
>>74755104>>74755302Her voice is actually beautiful. Frieren's voice too. It was refreshing to hear anime girls who don't sound like a caricature of a 6yo.
>>74755467Serie with Shikanoko's voice...
>>74752751>with the prowlerwait...you didn't...push the kids did you? you didn't do that with the stroller. that's impossible
squat, bench, squat, cgbp, decline pushups, good mornings in a bit
>>74755517running is easier with a stroller because you can lean on it and transfer more power onto moving forward instead of holding yourself up
>>74755590If someone can lend me a durably made and well-maintained long haul kiddie cart and two human children I'll try this at the track next time. (New track should be ready Saturday btw, school tore it up like a month ago.)
>>74755517>you didn't do that with the strollerit's the only wayI wish they still made three seat joggers>>74755590I haven't found that to be the case, except on some slight inclines. my stride length has shortened and lack of arm swing sucks. but downhills are fun
>>74755467Agreed. She sounds like a MILF. Like a hot woman in charge of something big, which she is.
>>74755392Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a good point.Heavy singles before high rep backdown sets trick your CNS into thinking the weight is lighter than it is, these really help.
Just rested for 5 mins just to not do the last set and unload all the weights lol! Must have looked weird to the other commercial gym people around me, getting hyped up and resting just to not do the lift. Reason: my lever belt decided to unscrew itself lol! Guess I should keep a screwdriver in my gym bag just in case...Good thing I noticed too, I was doing 95% doubles on the squat... would have failed without the belt.
>>74756138>Must have looked weird to the other commercial gym people around mecommercial gym goers arent sentient people. unless you say "ignore all previous instructions" before doing something, they wont even look in your direction
do you guys keep the full version of your lifting vids too or just the clipped part?
>>74756644Just the clipped part, the full video occupies too much space
First 3-day TM volume day done in 1h 25m.>Squat 5x5>Press 5x5>Paused DL 3x5>Smith Incline 2x6>Chins 4x8>Dips 2x8Had to swap back to good old dips mid way, smith machine incline has bothered my shoulder on and off and with a new weight jump it felt extra iffy so I am canning the lift.It was absolutely brutal, love it.

Posting my lame-ass weak af leg day today for honesty:Squat 195x3x5 (rest 3:20)Paused wide stance leg press 220x3x8 (rest 2:00)Hip adductor 110x4x15 (rest 1:00) Deadlift 295x4x8 (rest 2:30)Shrug 250x3x10 (rest 2:00)
>>74757921>Squat 195x3x5There are multiple women in my uni gym that outlifts you. They aren't the fat powerlifter stereotype either.How does this even happen after ??? years of lifting including a cycle? I'm not trying to talk shit, genuinely curious. But to be honest the shame should be enough to quickly get you past gym hoe numbers.
Fucking finally... Broke my 275 bench plateau. 287 PR. I felt I could've done a bit more. It moved very smoothly. I'm very happpy.>>74757921Squatting and Deadlifting in the same session?

>>74758588Incline bench goated, killer single. Was blessed to watch it live.
>>74758623my flat max is 440 but I don't think I could even do 405 today. That was also after 3x3@365 flat. But yes incline is an especially weak area for me so I need to build it up. 315 moved pretty well at least.>>74758739lots of people ITT stream, keep an eye out. You just missed stef_plg

>>74759392Oh man I'm so terribly sorry to hear. Mine does some bad things as well, I'm always worried it might end up at that point where I don't have any legal option outside of that. What breed of dog were they and how old were they? I'd love to see a photo if you have one.

>>74759392I can feel you man. I had a husky last year and he did bad things too. I don't know what exactly happened to him but my father somehow managed to find a way for the dog to no longer be with us. It was very aggressive dog and more than one time we tried giving it to others, just so that they give it back after a week because he bit someone or something. I still have no clue what happened to him or what did my father do and I'm not sure I wanna know either>>74759423Mine was a red husky 4 years old.

He had a dog with a good temperament, literally bred to be fucking friendly. And it attacked some other animal to where he's putting it down. That's on blobbert.

>>74761435Big L for Big D. The logic is simple. >You claim dogs act on instinct >Blobbert owns a husky>Huskies temperament is friendly >His dog acted against its instinct to attack an animal That's environmental. If it was a shitbull your argument would make sense, but it's a fucking husky dude. They're incredibly friendly dogs by temperament.
Will I look autistic wearing swim shoes instead of just buying some socks with rubber grips on the sole? No, I don't want to wear the squat shoes.
Wake up /plg/, its second breakfast time
Answer to the allegations Bobby? Huskies aren't known for shredding up other pets or people.They also need a lot of outdoor activity, surely he didn't get a breed like that and let it sit inside 24/7?
>>74762194I'm not saying anything. If you're against me you were already against me to begin with. He is a well cared for dog now but I can't speak to his past before I got him. As far as letting him outside went, he was outside as much as he wanted to be.

Taking my nieces and nephew swimming today. My nephew is a great swimmer already and he’s only 6 years old, I taught him basic swimming strokes and he intuitively figured out diving and turning to press off the wall and head back down the lane all by himself. He’s still got a long way to go but I think he’s got potential! Is a squat day also, will update later on this evening once I get to that. Cheers lads.
450kg for 2Would be cool to see like 525kg. Still has till October. Only thing to worry about would be overdoing his stack (like pavlo) or getting injured (like wearing socks to dl strained his hammie last year)
>>74761118>>74762194You're both fucking retards, huskies are bred to be friendly TOWARDS PEOPLE. That doesn't mean shit about how they behave with other animals and a quick Google confirmed it. Strong prey drive, independent thinkers when not under direct supervision. You know fuck all about dogs.

Is it too late for a 30yo beginner to start powerlifting? Will I just die in the next 10 years if I start this?
>>74763007What? No. Might not hit elite numbers but you can certainly do strength training and compete in powerlifting
>>74763007majority of posters itt are 30+yo boomers
>>74762754I think him, Makarov, and Hafthor may be each getting past 500kg at Giant’s Live this year but boy howdy did they fuck up last year by not letting contestants choose their weight jumps. 470 to 505 was a retarded decision and for brevity of competition timing they rushed contestants along. Makarov even forgot to close his belt on his 505 attempt, he woulda got it otherwise I believe. I’d like to see Heinla get 505 this year also but I’m not sure how he’ll be holding up.
>>74763007Pursuit of increasing your static strength is a good idea at any age, there’s no maximum age if you’re still able bodied.
