who /liftan on Christmas/ here?
>>75572339duh
>>75572333checked and nice
Will going from a deficit/just below maintenance to maintenance or a couple hundred calories of surplus actually make a difference to stalling and strength progress or is this a quick fix for a week or two and the bigger issue just incorrect programming?
>>75572369>post s/b/d@bw+height3x5/1x5 working setss 115kgb 80kgd 177.5kg81kg, 5'10please help me stuck in sub 2pl8 bench hell
>>75572385>d 177.5kgmeant 187.5kg
>>75572369It's probably both. You're about where I was a year ago. You need to:1: pick a decent program, and actually be dedicated2: try very very hard3: gain weight. Slowly is better because you can keep going for longer without getting fat. I'm talking like a lb every 2 weeks.
>>75572297omg is that Iron Forge Gym?
>>75572453>gain weight.bobby is going to love this>Slowly is better because you can keep going for longer without getting fat. I'm talking like a lb every 2 weeks.this kills the blob
>>75572203>>75572333Your squat looks fucky, and I cant say for sure why fron the anglegj pushing through. Did you buy a hedgehog because of your sonic obsession?
>>75572453I have previously fucked around with beginner programs for a long time whilst fat fucking myself to almost 20kg heavier than what I am right now. I was forced to cut for the last several months to reach 81kg. Trying hard, getting good sleep (took a long time to fix this) and eating less seems to give me better results which is why I now suspect it's a programming issue more than weight gain issue. Plus I see literal skeletons who are making decent progress so I don't think weight gain is as important as it's made out to be when it comes to gaining strength or muscle. Of course, I still try to eat as much protein as I can.
>>75572369>>75572385Throw is right>>75572487I have never recommended gaining weight quickly
>>75572496>Did you buy a hedgehog because of your sonic obsession?Hedgehogs only live for around four years. Boris passed away in 2020. I also had another one, Vadim, and he possibly passed away in 2019. Check the dates on my videos. Most of them are old.
>>75572510Pyccкий? Or larper/tankie?
>>75572520My full first name is Maximilian.
>>75572508>>75572453What would be a decent program then, if I start adding an extra couple hundred calories per day this week? I don't think this will correct itself if I just reset my upper body lifts on SS and hit the same wall again. I've read about a condensed TM but I don't know what's the go-to. I'm literally not even getting 2.5kg of bench progress every week or two weeks at this point. Repeating the same weight forever. It's more like 2.5kg every few weeks, which I foolishly attributed to cutting, but even cutting can't be responsible for upper body progress that bad at my strength level.
>>75572529You could try TM. I like recommending 4 day but it still might not solve your bench problem without a bunch of additional pressing accessories. The program I responded the best to as an early intermediate was Nuckols 3x int med bench for upper and C6W lower. However, Candito just released a v2 of C6W and I haven't looked at that. All I know is he completely replaced the bench programming so it might be good for full body at this point.
>>75572529Nobody can answer this until you post sbd and a video of your bench technique.
>>75572547Do I have this thinking correct? Inability to make progress occurs because the current amount of work you are doing in a session or per week isn't enough to drive an adaptation. So rather than the reason being unable to recover between sessions, it's more likely that I am not adapting to the stress and getting stronger so I can continue to push my bench numbers up, which is why it could feel like a recovery issue as fatigue from all my lifts increase gradually over time?Also, I'm currently benching 1.5x a week on SS. Is it worth trying to bench 2x and reduce OHP to 1x or is that just a stupid idea since I do care about progressing on both lifts? I'll likely give TM of some sort a look since there's probably a lot of information surrounding it. I'd prefer to be able to fit everything into 3 days if possible though since I usually limit my training to early morning for just over an hour or so, before work, so I'd have to see how feasible that would be. I know there are other methods for prolonging my current stage like trying to reach a total number of reps no matter the number of sets it takes, but it would take far too much time for me.
>>75572562I posted sbd here and I'll get a video>>75572385>>75572390but even dogshit form can get you to a 2pl8+ bench from what I've seen
>>75572592>Do I have the thinking correctRead PPST3, it'll explain all of this and since you want to do TM anyway you should be reading that.>More likelyYes, it is much more likely the stimulus is insufficient rather than the stimulus is so grueling that it takes more time to recover if you're on SS.>Is it worth bench 2x and ohp 1xIt can be. Depends on how you're benching desu. If you use a similar grip for bench and ohp and you have minimal arch then you'd probably be fine. Big arch with max grip on bench compared to narrow grip on ohp though? Gains will be disproportionate at best.>Limit training to an hour before workNot gonna happen with 3 day TM, pick something else
>>75572596Just because dogshit form can get you there doesn't mean that it's smooth sailing. I always struggled hard on bench and would just stall at milestones like 50/60/80kg for weeks due to garbage technique that didn't involve the right muscles properly. Did I push through to 100kg and fail to fix my technique for a good while longer than that? Yes. Would I have stalled like that if I were benching the same way I am now? Definitely not. Bench is incredibly technical.
>>75572638>Read PPST3Will get to it.>similar grip for bench and ohp and you have minimal archYeah, my bench grip is pretty moderate and I hardly have an arch. Still don't understand how people can get such a good arch that feels stronger. Might try doing some meme mobility and see if I can game my bench more. >Not gonna happen with 3 day TM, pick something elseI'll have to look and see what works then. My lower body is fine on SS and advanced novice progression for now I think. I'll either just take half an hour longer on a couple of days or probably settle for a fourth then. What's the consensus on HLM, for upper body? I'm only really aware of TM or HLM as typical next steps after SS which is why I'm leaning towards exploring those a little first.
>>75572704I haven't read too much on HLM so I can't really answer that. People usually don't do HLM here either so not sure.
>>75571471I don't think I have ever been called lanky.Took this pic because of the face my sweat was making -_-This is how sweaty I was before my first working set of bench.
>another world record>which also counts as a junior world record, because he is still 20>tfw I'm 36
>>75572777>35>wilks didnt even break 400 yetIts ogre
>>75572704I will also give Candito six week some recognition, it did get me above the 2pl8 mark bench wise. It will also significantly beef up your squat. The sessions are short, usually an hour or less, if brutal at times. The tradeoff there is that some weeks are 4-5 days.The other thing is don't skip accessories. SS likes to claim that the main program is enough to make progress, which might be true for a while, but in most cases you'll need supplemental tricep and chest work.
>>75572798>SS likes to claim that the main program is enough to make progresstbf for the dyels its designed for it usually is.>Candito six weekDid anyone try Candytoes new 6 week? Apart from week 2 I liked his last one but I dont wanna pay money for what is essentially a template program.

>>75573940That's technically right above parallel. I'm glad I had it recorded, because I was wondering if I was actually going to parallel, and I was actually stopping just short of it. A lot of people would count those reps, though. Most of the people I've seen squat actually do quarter reps, and they do it in front of a mirror. They don't even reach 90 degrees.

Anyone have a good program recommedation that emphasizes bench and ohp and doesn't throw one by the way-side?I'm a novice to intermediate lifter (61 kg ohp and 93 kg bench)
I'm so excited to grind out my new push press accessory plan over the next few months. I think it's really going to make a huge difference very quickly.
>>75578084I assure you it's old fat that I gained in my mid and late teens. I no longer eat any fast food or junk foot, other than a small amount of candy. I weight myself every day, and the ratio of fat I gain relative to muscle is likely the smallest it's ever been. I weigh 290 now, and I used to likely weigh in the 360s.

A man goes into the bush to flip logs>>75578125A good way to go about it is training both 2x a week alternating which you do first>day 1: heavy bench, light ohp>day 2: heavy ohp, light benchHeavy would be 1-6 reps, light 8-15. 3-6 sets each. Depending on your goal, close grip bench will carry over better to ohp so if you want to train a wide grip/comp bench then only do that for the heavy day. Throw in high volume accessories to failure such as incline db press, tricep extensions, 3 way delt raises, dips if you enjoy them. Don't neglect back and core work. Progression can be linear, wave/step loading. Really doesn't matter as long as you're tracking progress.>>75578257what's the plan
>>75578257>I'm so excited to grind out my new x press accessory plan over the next few months. I think it's really going to make a huge difference very quickly.hope it works this time
>>75578125starting strength
>>75578390dang that's a nice log>what's the planbasically paused explosive half rep hack squats and db shoulder raises from all angles>>75578438I'm trying to address the fact that my push and strict presses are barely different and focus more on the leg drive and stability to carry through the press when the drive ends.
>>75578508>paused explosive half rep hack squats and db shoulder raisesI don't think thats going to help. Your problem is that your push press is just not that efficient compared to other guys. Lot of foward knee travel balance at max loads on the chest. Things like that. You have the strength to probably get like 375 right now
>>75578508can you do a real front rack yet?if not that's the easiest thing for instant gains by fixing your jerk
>>75578551Easiest way to fix his strength is to stop being a fat fuck
>>75578546It will make my knees stronger in that range of motion which can only help. I know I'll never be a Plutez-level jerker>>75578551I'm not trying to jerk, and the idea behind the hack squat specifically is that it takes out the mobility and balance requirements of a front squat/jerk while still building the power in the same movement pattern.
>>75578568>takes out the mobility and balance requirements of a front squatThis is why i said to work jerk dips to get better at that.
>>75578568>I'm not trying to jerknot a split jerk, you still do a jerk on a push press you just don't drop under the bar for lockouteasiest gains in the world because it's just about efficient force transfer from your legs. I know it's not transferable to all strongman equipment but I see strongfats managing to do it with axles etc and there's plenty of them who don't even push press but do power jerks.
>>75578686>you still do a jerk on a push press the dip isn't a jerk. its just called the dip. jerk is the while motion without any pressing of the weight

>>75578841Holyyyy shitthr33 times bodyweight binchmirin my dude
>>75578578I'm not seeing how the hack squat I'm suggesting is any different, except that it removes front rack mobility and balance from the equation.>>75578686I think we agree but you're confused by the terminology >>75578841crocs
>>75579035um, actually, those are gatorz
>>75579035>the thing that would help the most in adding weight to your log push press is the thing that works balance, front rack, and correct dip technique>i don't see how the thing that gets me better at balance, front rack, and correct dip technique would be any different than the thing that doesn't work that?
>>75579073Balance and grip technique are not the issue. They would be distractions to the main thing I believe I need to work on which is power delivery through the legs. If you told me to dip a few times before pressing the log itself that's one thing but I really don't see why I should spend the time developing barbell front rack.
>>75579073Consider for a moment; someone farts inside your ass.Your ass is now filled with gas but not from your own volition. From this day forward you will be known as the one who will Always Pass High Mass Ass Gas.What can we learn from this?

Any advice on a good rack to get for a home gym?Just started lifting at the gym in my office building but the smith machine sucks so I bought barbell weight set. I just need a rack and a bench now, but I can't decide between a cheap Amazon rack or a modular rack that costs four times as much. I'm only doing some basic barbell lifts right now, but I want to get a rack that I can do pull-ups with and accessorize with cables in a year or two.My budget is around $500 but I'm willing to splurge on equipment that could follow me to my grave.
>>75579417Titan T3 squat stand with spotter arms. Will cost less than 400 dollars and you can use it for anything you could a full rack.
>>75579417get any 3x3" with 1" hole rack because any company worth a damn has parts/accessories that will fit that even if they have foreigner dimensions. you can start out with a squat stand or half rack with a pullup bar and spotter arms. cables can be done diy, but they are also the hot "new" thing as brands are making all their racks able to set up into functional trainers or have lat/low row options, but there are a dime a dozen other companies that offer pulleys and the like. some things are worth spending new for the warranty, but you can piece meal a lot of equipment off of facebook marketplace or similar. start there and then when you have extra money to splurge, upgrade or add on whatever it is you want
>>75579423Thanks, I've been eyeing the Titan series. Would the X3 be more futureproof? I've read that it's easier to find accessories for 3x3 racks.
>>75579450Haha that answers my question about accessories. I have money to splurge but I just need something simple right now, so would you recommend an Titan X3 instead of a T3?
>>75579457>Titan X3 instead of a T3?whichever has the 1" hardware. the rack i have has 5/8" holes and if i had to do it over again that'd be the first thing i'd change. the big brands have 5/8 options for accessories, but if you have 1" you essentially have every option available to youand yeah start simple and ensure it's something you actually keep doing. i know plenty of guys that don't even touch their equipment or sold it and went back to a commercial gym
>>75579475Both seem to have 11/16" holes which must be equivalent to 5/8". They do have 1" spacing for bench press which wouldn't be possible with 1" holes, and I wouldn't be against drilling some extra holes if I need. 1" hardware seems to be more expensive across the board too. What accessories have you seen that only work with 1" holes?And yeah I plan to stick with it, the whole reason I stopped lifting is because I don't have a car so commercial gyms are a huge pain to get to. I like working out with friends but sometimes time doesn't allow, so I really need something I can use anytime.
>>75579371And anime girls yes
>>75578257>lifting things overheadIs that off-topic postan ya doin' thaer, boyah?
>>75579558Speaking as someone with a rogue HR-2 which is roughly equivalent to the titan x-3 series half rack (5/8 holes instead of 11/16), I'm not sure what accessories would only be available in 1" peg size. I have dip handles and a landmine attachment, with band pegs as well and given I'm in the rogue ecosystem it's not too hard to find stuff that would fit my rack. Also have invested in ghost roller j cups and those fit perfectly. The westside hole spacing is really nice as well, very useful for bench when you don't have a spotter available to help with the unrack. This website also might be helpful as it has a huge list of accessories that you can use with a given hole size. https://www.garagegymreviews.com/power-rack-attachmentsAnd if you're going titan you should have a bunch of accessories compatible with your rack so I don't see that being an issue unless you pick something really esoteric.
>>75580161>1" peg sizeI always assumed you like bigger pegs
>>75580104More evidence on you being a Westside athlete
My elbows hurt and i fucked up my 5rm strict axle press set last week. Beltless deadlift bar feels good so far thoAnd no surprises i look bigger, im over 200lbs rn. Correcting that issue over the next little while>>75578257>>75578508For everyone shitting on the plan id be more inclined to just trust your intuition since youve got yourself this far already>>75577777Checked>>75576200That guy who was posting about not liking his "straining face" must not have seen this masterpiece
Again getting that weird pain in armpit/lat area when benching this time even on warm up wtf? The only thing i can think of is that i started doing incline recently as a secondary exercise
>>75580287You're like 5'9 right? 200 lbs ain't that bad at that size.>FKinda fatigued, the 3rd week of Sheiko usually does this to me. Probably should have eaten more breakfast in retrospect.>TDeficit deadlift up to 142.5, then Bench up to 105, then block deadlifts up to 197.5 X2. Hit 2 doubles, then failed the last set like a bitch. Didn't feel like a muscular failure, felt like I couldn't muster up the CNS drive to keep my core tight enough.Wanted to hit 230/500 by end of year, but I think its gonna be a week or two past that before I get it.
>>75580421You pull conventional right? Do you usually struggle with block pulls below the knee?
>>755804215'10 but its basically the same thing. The problem is i compete -181. Next comp wont be for several months so its fine but still not ideal
>>75580421Stop doing sheiko do madcow and then conjugate you'll benching 150 and deadlifting 240 in no time.
Slept 11 hours so as expected had shit ass workout, hopefully will only sleep like 3 hours on monday so expecting a huge pr.
>>75580429Yeah conventional. Usually it's above the knee I start to have problems, am working on improving hamstring strength and stability.>>75580433Oh shit lol. Why not move up a weight class? It looks like you've the muscle mass to justify it.>>75580434Maybe in the new year. Been tempted by conjugate for a while but I'll finish this block first.
>>75580475>it's above the knee I start to have problemsPerro caca starting position you struggle at the top because you start pulling with flexed back and now you have to somehow straight it at the top.
>look at the comments for C6W 2.0 video>large number of commenters saying that they run Greg Nuckols upper and Candito 6 week lowerThere's no way I was the cause of this, was I?>>75580475Video of your floor pull and block pull?
I WAS DOING TRAP BAR DEADS AND IT FELT FUCKY AND I VIDEOD IT AND MY LOW BACK IS FINE BUT WHERE IT GOES INTO RIB CAGE ITS FUCKING BENT FUCK THIS SHIT
>>75578841where do i get eleiko plates at the gym
>>75580490So t spine rounding?>>75580497Join a good gym
>>75580475>muscle mass to justify itAt the national level i dont have the strength to justify it. Locally theres a few shows where im starting to be competitive at -220
>>75580504I don't know. Upon rewatch it seems like general back rounding or something. Also I went on my tiptoes. This was a weight that I did 7 decent reps last time, and here it's a 4th rep after a 30 second break. I'm just gonna retry tomorrow and if it's still bad, I'll deload.
>>75580565wtf are you doing bro lmao, you just shifted entire weight way forward
>>75580598i have no idea what I am doing i am doing this because trap bar I can grip and rip to failure and hit hammies before I do rdls and gms
>>75580565You're not keeping the bar over mid foot, you're pretty shifted forward. The rounding is occurring right after you initiate the pull so probably just due to bad positioning.
>>75580616Just stop doing trap bar its pretty mid exercises way better options
>>75580627Okay so just forgot how to lift. Do you think a belt would help?>>75580632No, it's a good exercise. Less posterior chain focused than regular deads but harder to fuck up and allows for more loading => more load on traps and grip.
>>75580645I don't think so, and even if it would you shouldn't be using a belt as a bandaid for your problems because you're not actually fixing the root cause.
Can lack of warming up and mobility actually hurt you
DEAR FELLOW /plg/ZENSNOT ONLY MY SHOUDLER IS INJURED (NO BENCH PRESS)THEY ALSO STOLE MY FUCKING MOTORBIKE THE OTHERDAY, SO NOW I CANT FUCKING GO GYMTHE WEST HAS FALLEN
>>75580718I mean having your bike stolen fucking sucks but also if you cant go to the gym because of that like wtf?
>>75580741GYM TOO FAR AWAY FOR WALKING OR CYCLING
>>75579451Walking out squats from 3x3 is annoying. The plates bump against the rack. 2x3 has tons of accessories, I wouldn’t worry.
>>75580684Yes. But for general lifting, mobility requirements aren't THAT high so you should be okay in most cases unless you have something structurally wrong. But also if you get really heavy then that can mess with your squat hand position.>>75580718Big rip
>>75580718what I've always read on other websites is that you could always buy another one if your Kia or Hyundai gets stolen from future doctors and scientists and that you should be thankful that you're alive
>>75580776Bus?
>>75580718Do you have one of those faggy vespas
>>75580565You want to start by putting the trap bar away and using a barbell.
>no pain during any lifts>come back home and eat>lower back starts hurting randomlywhy
>>75581206Aids
>>75580287slow negatives are a waste of time
Holy fuck guys turns out I was literally GDE this entire time I have Ehlers–Danlos syndromes thats why i keep getting injured.

>>75581287oh yeah? post doctors note
>>75581306you looking for a new scooter?

>>75581306I can do pic related and touch head to my knees with straight legs
>>75581397What if i said that when i edited that webm i sped up the concentric but slowed down the eccentric to make it look like a slow eccentric
So gym shaman is officially dead, eh?
>>75581420that you are painting a lie
>>75580684Lack of warming up as in going from the bar to 500 for your worksets, yeah. Lack of warmup as in not rolling around on a foam tube for 15 minutes, no.
>>75581397>Sport has events that rely on having high work capacity>Training that work capacity is dumbLol
>>75581553stop getting involved in subjects you have no knowledge about you fat neckbeard womanyou are a circus act in this general a poor powerlifter can't cut weight use being fat as an excuse to try strongman just stop postingto optraining a negative on the bench press or squat for example will not increase power output powerlifters are not bodybuilders
>>75581582Tell me how I'm wrong then? You gonna suggest someone go on a run to prepare for a deadlift amrap, lmao?
>>75581582>>75581596Also heavy negative training is a thing, retard. I know in this specific instance it's not what's being done but to say that heavy negatives serve no purpose for powerlifting or strongman is retarded.
There is no reason to cry. Calm down. Breathe.
>retard says blatantly retarded things>Gets called out for doing so>"You mad bro????"
>>75581596>>75581600has the strongest man in this general ever done slow negative in any of his lifting?have any of the wsm done slow log or circus dumbell negatives?they massively increase risk of injuryop would be better increasing strength the more the strength the easier an amrap will be with what theoretically be lighter weight relative to their maxthrow in a set of 10 at the very most if you want to test capacity so it is not an alien concept come competition day
>>75581634>Slow log or cdb negativesNot what I was defending, I was talking about your point that negatives don't help powerlifters. But part of why he may be using a slow negative is because racking a log from overhead isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world.>Strongest man in this general No clue, but given his Westside proclivities I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Especially if he had access to weight releasers.>Stronger you are the easier an amrap will beWhile technically true it ignores the aerobic component of lifting for high reps. I guarantee that Plutez is not the only person in strongman training high reps for amrap events. Given that his coach himself is a very good strongman, I would trust what he says more than some rando on the Internet that doesn't think you need to train work capacity to do well in an amrap in competition.>Throw in a set of 10 at mostLol. Just lol. Post lifts.
And wait, you think I entered a strongman competition because I'm fat? Do you have brain cells? Is the concept of "fun" foreign to your puny brain?
>>75581675he is not in a rack he can just drop it and resethow many competitions go to 20 reps on an amrap neckbeardyou injured your wrist you circus act you never done it for fun you done it because you cant lose weight so it was a free ticket to enter you are fooling no one hereas the original reply said stop posting on matters you know little about
>>75581715>He can just drop itYou really think he's gonna clean and press for general volume work?>Injured my wrist????>Never done it for funYou do know there are weight classes in strongman, right?>Stop posting on matters you know little aboutRealistically, how much stronger is he going to get on deadlifts in the time up until his competition? 20 lbs? 30 lbs? How many more reps is that going to translate to? Compared to actually training higher reps it's a pittance, especially if your work capacity is shit.>No lifts postedTop kek

Used the SSB for the same reason as when squatting, I don't have the shoulder mobility to hold the bar on my back. Gotta push the handles so that the weight stays on my traps instead of my neck. But this pushes the load further forward, increasing the moment arm.I used a belt for the last 2 sets. Do you unusually use a belt on goodmornings?The lower-back pump on the back extensions was sickening. It was very painful, I don't really understand why. Are the engorged muscles pushing on a nerve?I recently got a haircut and I swear it adds 2 points to my attractiveness. This milf was constantly staring at me. These two slender Asian chicks gave me the biggest smile when we made eye contact. And the girl who I often see, and who usually moves to the opposite side of the gym from me and watches me, still kept her distance today, but didn't constantly watch me. If I was lean the world would be mine.

>>75581886>A set of 10He was doing multiple sets of ten in training. Not a single set of ten haphazardly thrown in like you're suggesting>How many do negatives or find any benefit to themMike T uses weight releasers, as does Westside. I've seen Eric Bugenhagen use them as well. Those are pretty much the same thing as heavy negatives except they don't require another person to execute.
>>75581897deadlifting multiple sets of 10 is a waste of time that is below 50% and begging for a snaplol weight releases 2 nobodys is the best you can give
