Its impolite to keep people waiting for a new thread. Make a new one 10 posts early and then people will come in immediately after they are finished with the old thread.
Saves waiting around ツ for someone to make a new thread

You're supposed to do it at bump limit and when the thread is at page 8 or 9.

Depends how active a thread it I guess
And yeah....its pretty dead, so I guess you're right.

Which shieko program should I do if I want to get stronger?

Someone said something mean to me today and I've been thinking about it all day and I'm really sad
I'll admit i had my doubts about you actually being a trap or not before Don't take this as an insult though, it only makes you hotter imo

I think girls are jealous of my ass?
I have quite a big ass from deadlifting and I've noticed that girls with big butts don't like me. Some have gone as far to say "they cent fucking stand me".
I never speak to these girls outside of class?
It's always girls with the biggest asses who hate me. I've come to the conclusion they are jealous and self conscious of my ass.
Thoughts?

Girls in general just don't like you and you only pay attention to girls with large asses, thus you only notice that they don't like you. Girls with small/regular asses hate you just as much, but you don't look at them. Add some confirmation bias on top that, and bam, you form this belief.

Not exactly PL question but time management...
Gym opens at 6, I need to leave there by 7h15 am to get to school on time. So I get about 1h15 per day to work out, 3 to 5 times a week
What would you recommend if my main goal is to get strong? I did some wl and pl style programming before and preferred wl training. Problem is my current gym gets all pissy if we drop the bar from overhead, despite having bumper plates. So I'm not sure how heavy I can go.
I dunno, I don't browse plg much and you seem to post a lot and have read a lot of info.

I'm a nurse and we just tossed an entire box of opioid painkillers because they're past their expiration date soon. Naturally I took them for myself.
Are opioid drugs IPF approved? I'm gonna become an addict now.

a very close friend of mine that's played with a transgirl's breasts said they were quite nice despite the smallness
Do you guys have a sore lower back after hitting a new pr?
Zachary Brown
How close is this """""""""'friend"""""""""" ?
Kevin Ward
but you realized that since you're an ass-man(the better kind of man, credit where it's due) the theory fits.
Charles Adams
I know, right? His shoulders, arms, forearms, are the same thickness as mine lol
Can't get him to try lifting though, he says he doesn't want to "become a meathead". And he's a pretty busy guy so that just makes it even harder to convince him.
That's not a fedora you fagit that's a brazilian straw hat.
Even though it's more comfortable to just drop the bar, it's not necessary.
There's like, 205kg on Klokov's bar in this vid. And you can see he can lower it back and catch it just fine.
:3c Tell that very very very close friend that he's a cute.
Newfriend shut the fuck up.
Anthony Parker
I've been lifting since before you transitioned you cunt.
Samuel Reyes
If I found my back, which I often do, yes. You really shouldn't though, despite what trappy says.
Fix your form, strengthen your spinal erectors t. What I wish someone had told me.
Aaron Baker
Hey buddy, it's okay, on my skills test last month I couldn't break 495 off the ground when my old max was 535.
Hunter Hernandez
my training went well with the bent bar but fuck on my 460 sets the bar rolling me forward or back was way too annoying
also my twink grip somehow got 445 130lb more then i ever did doh

I will thank you for your answer
Gavin Howard
The reason he can control 205 kilos is because he is strong as fuck.
Like, taking steroids since 17 strong.
Fuck will you EVER stop giving shifty advice?
Joseph Jenkins
>Where did it all go so wrong? At the fork in the road where you decided to put your feet outside your hands.
Landon Moore
Err, had to convert the gif to webm cause it was too heavy to upload
Wow the reason he can control 205kg is because he can lift it!!!! OMG!!!!
You're a fucking genius.
I didn't imply you haven't been lifting. I said you're new here considering you don't even know who underscore is.
Brandon Wilson
As you were so polite I'll elaborate a bit. Your lower back is working hard to stabilise and protect your spine when maxing out, compiled with form break down (back rounding) it's working even harder. No true max pull is ever pretty or clean, so some soreness may be normal, but definitely not s good sign if often.
What helped me through my lower back injury was strengthening my core, lower back and spinal erectors big time. Snatch grip deadlifts, side bridges, planks, reverse hypers, back extensions, curl ups.
Whatever you want really, just try and do some to prevent injuring your lower back in the future,
Matthew Cox
At what wilks would you consider a woman strong?
Blake Harris
Can anyone give recommendations on good bands to buy? I want some bands to help grip on bench and also to help open hips before squat with stretch
Henry Thomas
Did Coach trappy give you permission to pull double overhand today?
Please make sure that you're not fucking around. Trappy has been working very hard for the records that you're going to get
If you don't get those records and validate his coaching there's a 41% chance that coach trappy might do something very bad.
Good luck coach trappy!
Oh and just do what you're supposed to do frog. Listen to your coach.
Easton Rivera
Why is the bar so far out in front of you?
Jacob Jackson
Hip circle by mark bell might be in your best interest.
Eli Peterson
Would it be good to use to grip myself better on bench?
Logan Carter
Lol I meant to open up your hips Buy any cheap generic bands you want, branded rubber bands are a scan.
Alexander Long
okay thanks :)
Parker Sanchez
Nice hook grip kid
Isaac Torres
It's literally touching his shins lol
300 is pretty good I'd say. 400 is probably the strongest girl in the gym.

Good luck friend, I hope you KILL IT. Make sure to take an long nice rest between bench and dead attempt ;')

Joshua Watson
thank you based namefaggots
do you think she'd help me insert my squat plug? I think it got stuck during my last rep
Nolan Foster
Its not necessary on controlled lifts. Everyone will miss eventually, and on shit days you might miss a lot of lifts though.
Easton Allen
But Klokov drops it in that video...

Today's question: Can a Sheiko deadlift session be fueled by zero (0) hours of sleep, a cup of coffee and two bananas because I also forgot to buy food? Let's find out!
Thomas Rivera
Holding in there, mostly waiting for job to start since I'm bad at killing time. Been in my head a lot lately but that's par the course. All the cardio has done a number on my squats and deadlifts, my back and calves are btfo daily which sucks.
Hbu user
Leo Reed
Yes. I have insomnia and I still do Sheiko
Michael Williams
>inb4 95% from boxes session
Rip in piece
He catches it after the push press. Lowering to the floor is the easy part lol
What?
Isaac Reyes
This is gonna suck, hope I don't feel like passing out Thankfully it's one of those easy ones, only 75%
Eli Barnes
After a (unrelated) knee injury, I'm basically starting from square one in the squat in terms of technique.
As you can see, I have long femurs which result in a lot of forward knee travel. I'm trying to reduce it as much as possible to take pressure off my knees by sitting my hips back and leaning forward more.
It's been so long since I squatted I completely misgroove the first 2 reps, but what do you guys think of my technique overall? Anything I could try to further reduce pressure on the knees? I've been toying with a wider stance and consciously forcing my knees out.
I'm not built to squat at all and it's frustrating as fuck.
nice cock shot also it looks like the bar is exceptionally low on your back but I can't really tell. forward knee travel is fine if you remain in line with your toes and your heels are on the ground to the point that you could almost lift your toes off. They've done studies showing that stressing decreased knee travel might decrease shear there by about 70% or something but increases shear at the hip about 1000%
Elijah Fisher
widen your stance. It will help with forward lean and forward knee travel. It looks like you are not breathing into your diaphragm and bracing properly. This may be due to it being 135 though. If you wanna go super low knee stress look into westside style box squats. They have you bring your knee behind your heel. Also: >knee sleves >wrist wraps >135 Cmon senpai
Thomas Lee
hey trappy i'm 220 at 23% bodyfat. any tips to cut down to 10-15%?
literally don't know what to do >inb4 kys
Christopher Parker
>the body tries to preserve muscle Myth :(. I lost all muscle gains during cutting. It's as if my muscle mass depends only on my fat mass, and not on exercising at all. I can only have more muscle by being more fat, exercise is irrelevant.
What's the point of exercising without steroids?

Eat less!
... and count the calories (or do at least portion control if you're lazy)
Pic related is the caloric guidance they teach to coaches in the IPF coach certificate course.

Jose Clark
Oh, and eat slower. Take smaller bites. Chew for longer before swallowing. Drink plenty of water.
Levi Foster
yeah, it's almost as if my body doesn't even WANT to be lean or something....
William Adams
What's wrong with him wearing knee sleeves and wrist wraps? Knee sleeves don't do shit but keep your knees warm, maybe if you buy them two sizes too small you might get a little bit of a "boost" out of the hole. And wrist wraps are there to essentially take pressure off your wrists, usually allowing for a closer grip and a tighter upper back as a result of that. People are so damn autistic about this stuff. They're not helping you lift the weight.
Cameron Evans
any tips to preserve strength while cutting calories?
Zachary Adams
The sad thing is that I wouldn't mind being fat if it wasn't stomach fat. But I still want too much?
Samuel Wood
oh is that YOU?
...let me pound your pussy
Nathaniel Perry
Don't skimp on the volume for the main lifts Get more sleep than you usually do Don't try to lose 10kg in a week Take Zinc and maybe vitamins supplements if you're restricting your diet to microwave food and shit. Eat your fats and your proteins.
I've had people cut while doing sheiko and still make very good gains at the end of it.
Just don't overdo it to the point where you pass out in training.
