When you realize Bobby interprets advice as a competition and all he knows how to do in a competition is cheat so he uses every trick in the argumentative book to convince himself he "won" when there was never a competition in the first place. It's like someone saying "go to the hospital man, you're hurt" and he says
>Ackshually, I feel fine so fuck off and suck my cock; I'm not going to the hospital just to spite you :)
Meanwhile you see literally blood pouring from his noggin while he needs stitches. There is an entire demographic that views social relations in this way, and it's fascinating that the blob gets all of her negativity while losing all the positivity like intelligence associated with his native demographic. I almost pity the foo'

>>75729283
I'm not defining the rule, I'm simply stating that you can't assume that everyone would perform exactly the same way (in this case, optimally) given the same constraints. It's why there's so much allowed variance in competition, because different people are different.

If lifter A benches more weight legally, lifter A is stronger in the context of the sport. period. Lifter B can cry about it all they want, but strength sports have rules for a reason. Stop inventing hypothetical scenarios to cope with the fact that you got mogged lil bro.

Bobby absolutely broke you, and it's obvious. You wrote an entire essay trying to psychoanalyze him like you're some kind of armchair therapist, but all you did was expose how much space he takes up in your head. You’re reaching so hard to justify your weird obsession that it’s honestly embarrassing. Just admit you got outplayed and move on, man. Bobby lives rent-free, and it’s killing you.

You really don't get it? Blobberu considers himself to have encyclopedic knowledge of every known document that has anything to do with powerlifting. He is the library of alexandria, in his own zoloft fueled brain. What he means when he says he doesn't know is that, in fact, no one knows, since it doesn't exist, because if it did exist, he would know, because he is bobby

THREADLY, RELEVANT, and HIGH QUALITY REMINDER for you unlifting ANON CHODEs to post body/lifts and get a trip. Tripping is the only way anyone will believe anything you have to say about anything. And only if you demonstrate at least one of the following:
>A squat in excess of both 2.5 times bodyweight AND 500 lbs
>A deadlift in excess of both 2.5 time bodyweight AND 500 lbs
>A bench press in excess of both 1.5 times bodyweight AND 350 lbs
>A LMAO4PLAET or greater row from the ground
>A Log "Press" of at least 240 lbs and 1.15 times bodyweight
>A front squat equal to or greater than LMAO4PLAET and 1.75x bodyweight
>A body that /fit/ won't roundly criticize (good fucking luck)
If you can't manage at least one of these, shut the fuck up, go to the gym, and try harder

UPDATED LIST OF PLG APPROVED ACRONYMs (Arcane CipheRs Of Never Yielding Masculinity). Post, but don't spam, in every thread.

>GDE (Genetic Dead End)
Exercise low-responder. High injury rate, no sports background, weak willed.

>OGD (Obese Genetic Dud)
A GDE that tried to cope by getting fat. Did not get stronger. Look at him and laugh.

>SUMO (SUbhuman MOron)
Too stupid and/or genetically deficient to just bend over and pick something up. Copes through a combination of clowning half reps and eating butt.

>UFO (Under Fed Organism)
Adult human male weighing less than 200 lbs. Throw food at them until the problem is remedied.

>VOLEM (Voluntary Evermediate)
Late beginner, early intermediate. Panics when the bar gets heavy. Program hops, works on technique, or sabotages recovery as an excuse to not progress.

>BONER (Bench Only No Effort Retard)
Wants to have the admiration and ego of someone who lifts, but doesn't want to get the squat or deadlift of someone who actually lifts. Copes with a combination of bench press and autism.

>LARPER - Lamely Accessorizing Retard, Performance Essentially Rubbish
Wants to be a powerlifter without actually lifting or trying hard. Buys $800 in clothes and accessories to dress the part. Stuck at a 400 kg total. Widely loathed.

>FAGIT (Freakishly Adept Genetically, Incredible Total)
Strong from birth, never had to work for it. Still works at it, just to ULTRA MOG GDEs even harder. Hated by everyone, but they can't really do anything about it.

>JANITOR (Just ANother Ineffectual Twig, Obviously Retarded)
Complete assclown and permanent virgin.

>TCHAD (Tries Consistently Hard All Day)
The Isleys, MAs, and other guys with average genes who actually like competing and getting stronger.

>TWIT (Third World Idjit Tard)
Smelly unAmerican FOREIGNER who lifts in the futile hopes it will make him matter like AMERICANS matter

it's self programming for powerbuilding. the problem comes from how you break through a plateau once you reach it (inb4 eating your way out on 6000 calories per day) since you're setting all your own percentages/reps/sets
i guess you could mesh it with 5/3/1: doing 5/3/1 sets for T1 and doing T2/T3 for accessory work instead of Jim's accessory plans like BBB

just got paid (mailbox money, for those of you who are still figuring out life, it’s when your bank account suddenly has a way bigger number than usual. sorry to all the wagies reading this). coach made me drop $60 for this week’s program. it’s 3 days instead of 5 because he says i need to "shed fatigue" (his words, not mine). also includes mobility for each session, which i’m paying extra for, by the way.

here’s the program. does this look worth it to you?

>Mon Heavy Squat+Bench
Mobility
Squat 4x3@88-90%
Paused Squat 3x4@72-75%
Bench 4x5@80-82%
Spoto Press 3x4@75%
Face Pulls 3x15@mod weight
Mobility

>Wed Heavy Deadlift+Accessories
Mobility
Deadlift 4x3@90-92%
Deficit DL 3x4@65-68%
RDL 3x8@60%
Good Mornings 3x8@6-7
Pull-ups 3xF@8
BB Shrugs 3x10@7-8
Mobility

>Fri Bench+Squat Accessories
Mobility
Pin Squat 4x3@75-77%
Paused Bench 4x3@82-85%
Incline DB Bench 4x8@7-8
DB Rows 3x10@7-8
Abs 3x15
Mobility

it’s my 4th week working with him, and honestly, i feel like it’s light for $60. i get that i need to recover, but does this actually look good, or am i getting scammed here? does anyone else pay this much for a program like this?

There is one... they call him Pony, sometimes Horse. He’s the gym's greatest myth, the guy every lifter swears they’ve seen but no one can prove exists. He’s huge, with traps that swallow his neck and thighs like tree trunks. The kind of guy who sumo deadlifts 700 pounds with chalk flying everywhere and doesn’t even flinch.

The rumors are insane. Some say he’s on horse-grade PEDs, the kind of gear that would make a veterinarian blush. Others insist he’s a clean eater, living off raw oats and water. Nobody knows for sure because no one gets close enough to ask. He never speaks, just nods or stares through you with an intensity that makes you question your life choices.

The sightings are always the same. “I saw him sumo 700 beltless and then just leave like it was nothing.” No videos, no pictures, just whispers and blurry memories. He’s the guy who shows up, leaves everyone questioning their natty status, and disappears like smoke.

Pony/Horse might not even be real, but every gym has a story about him. Whether he’s a freak of nature or just a collective hallucination, one thing’s for sure. His legend keeps growing, and so do the weights.

You got too fat for your belt, didn't you, Sasquatch?

Kek, you've gone from "mildly annoying" to "mildly entertaining"

>>75731111
Checked and mirin. A goal of mine is to have ONE lift that can beat your bench.

>>75734445
Nice, welcome back

First DE day since I made the switch to conjugate. Speed bench 8 x 3 @ 65. Weight felt so crazy light, even on the later sets. Started to feel a bit of fatigue, but not a huge amount of strain or even pump, and kept the bar speed fast. Does it feel harder ever? Maybe when I get better at putting more force in at lighter weight? It's just weird, never trained like this before.

No it never feels hard ime. Doing 40-60% straight weight + reds. Last time I did de bench I double banded the reds with a bit over 60% sw and it still wasn't hard at all

too bad you used knee sleeves or else it would've been a respectable raw lift

Man I really want to get a 2 ply band shirt, would be so sick. Need to focus on 1 goal at a time though.
>>
>>75735056
Advice I have heard is to simply not do DE or ME even before your 60% equals at least 1.5pl8. That would be a ~3pl8 bench. Mine is 2.5pl8 and I am only doing conjugate for lower body for the time being.

Part of it is bench is usually the easiest of the three movements for de. i usually try and get 10-12 sets on bench. the accommodating resistance needs to be ~10/15%, so you need to weigh the bands or chains. ROM and how its put on the barbell greatly effects bands, so it needs to be weighed in the working range and not just
>this band says its 35lbs tension on the website, ill use that number
i usually work up to like an 8 on a heavy movement beforehand as a primer before going into de as extra work
the other thing is rest time. you should be able to get a full DE main movement done in like 10 to 12 minutes at most. if its too easy, cut rest time down. if youre at like 8x3 in 8 minutes, just do time limit like
>i want to do as many sets as possible in 10 minutes with a minimum of 9 sets
>>
>>75736197
Yeah I do like 30-45 seconds of rest tops, I have a timer going

>Weigh the bands
I'll get a luggage scale
>>
>>75736184
yeah failed at knees
>>
>>75736206
probably go a bit heavier too is possible. like 55-70 waves and same 10/15%. depends how me days feel
>>75736213
suprised. strength or something off?
>>
>>75736312
Maybe. What would the exact percentages be? (55-62.5-70)? I think it might be partially because my max is understated from what I'm actually capable of peaked but we'll see when I test in 6-7 weeks.
>>
>>75736371
How are you peaking while cutting?

Not cutting anymore. Full speed ahead to a 460 lb comp bench

>suprised. strength or something off?
it felt like my hips just went back and threw my position off but that's not what the video looks like. Probably just ran out of gas or something.
>>
Someone stronger than me watched my deadlift and said i was using my lower back way too much and not engaging my posterior chain enough so I've sort of started from scratch with my technique here.

Ive been feeling the lift way more in my hams and glutes since doing this but I'm struggling to get my positioning right on the first rep, but subsequent reps are much better for it. For example I was messing around with 4pl8 today and rep 1 feels like RPE 6 but rep 2 feels like RPE 3 or 4.

Tl;dr does anyone have any good cues for optimising position during setup so i stop fucking my back up
