How are your finals going?

Good luck have fun bby!

only at midterms currently, quarter system is a bitch i have 6 weeks of school left.
one exam taken so far seemed to go pretty well, hbu?

It's my last week of school famalam, 5 finals down, one left, tomorrow at 2. I'm dreading it, discrete math will be the end of me.

i'm on the BA-crap-degree life so no fun maths for me. only had to take up to calculus 2 :^)
goodluck

You can do this senpai!

I only need up til calc 2 as well, discrete math is required for my major though, since it actually has uses in CS. Thanks though, I'll need it desperately.

Need some help.

10 wks ago I was conventional DL
Did my warm ups. Started work sets.
Set 1) 485 x 5
set 2) 515 going for 5 get 3 then......
My wife was behind me which I didn't know and she threw a bunch of 12' moulding next to me and distracted me.
My lower back cracked (like when you crack your back).
Some pain but not a lot. Dropped the weight and did the rest of my accessories - no problems. No pain next day.
Gave it 3 weeks of no dead lifts. Same thing this time with only 385.
Gave it 4 weeks of no deads. Same thing with only 315.
I'm able to hit heavy goodmornings, reverse hypers, weighted back extensions with no pain or ill effects.

I know its not a disc issue, anybody have a clue. Form is not the problem. I do these without a belt for the past 5 yrs with zero problems. Could it be a muscle injury? The only change to my routine prior to this was about 12 wks prior doubled up on the ab & core work.

Did the Candito program twice in a row, stats went from 80kg bench to 100kg, 120kg squat to 160kg, deadlift from 170kg to 200kg. Recently I've been ill and lost a lot of strength, I can't carry on this program without getting absolutely fucked up due to this loss of strength, everything feels alien all of a sudden after a month of not going. Any ideas or tips? Maybe a program change? Also at 80kg, been strength training for just a few months.

Could I get a form check.

What should I do at the gym tomorrow?
Just going to kind of mess around before starting the new meme program on Monday.
Just no max effort stuff pls

Failed squats because legs were still fatigued but I angst PRed bench.

Mixed feels

Hello me

Test

fuck boardshorts

Reset your maxes and start a new cycle.

What were you doing before strength training?
Manual labour or something?

Just an average college student, I have no experience with sports of any sort. Before strength training I just did some make-shift hypertrophy lifting and cardio mainly

I did that for about a month or two I guess

Do you have good "genetics"?

is that the chun-li of crossfit

No thanks

I've no idea, I'm too much of a beginner to really tell.

Is my form okay? I get like approx 1M comments every session.

I don't see a problem with it if my lumbar spine doesn't flex, the bar is a little low down my back.

Is this over emphasis of my posterior chain perhaps?

Twice body weight squat is not particularly beginner.

2.5 is getting pretty juicy. After that you need test.

Do fun shit like rows or push press
Whatever sounds fun to you. Rubish rows, cheat curls, pin presses, overhead squats

Way too fast on the descent. Start riding the brakes on the way down

That's bad. Its kind of OK to get really bent over if that's how your leverages work, but you're dropping your chest, rounding over and coming up hips first. That's not ok.

>After that you need test.
'no'

you divebomb and don't load your hamstrings so your hips shoot up.

don't you have some steroids to do?

I'm not saying that my lifts are beginner level, I mean that I'm really new to strength training and just fitness in general. I feel like this illness just became a big setback, only now starting to recover.

Mark Rippetoe has never mentioned this.

Please point me in the right direction to learn more.

stand up straighter bitch

your form is shit stop asking

I'm trying to stay 'in my hips'. That's the whole point of a lowbar squat isn't it?

Last time all I got was a load of unconstructive shitposting, like this.

No

Then stop asking

>the whole point
no
what youre doing is what happens when you exaggerate the differences between high bar and low bar, in reality the difference isnt that big

watch this, might help

you're weak and your form is terrible

Cool thanks for the feedback.

I was the user posting about sciatica a few months ago.
Back is in low level pain pretty often, shoots down to legs.
I took time off training and it got way worse, i was doing stretches and nerve flossing, pain doubled really.
I've found that doing a 5x10 back extension with 60kg or 5x10 good morning with 60kg completely eliminates the pain in my back for a few days, same thing when i do direct ab stuff.

I was able to pull a PR of 220kg for 5 reps the other day (best was 220x3 and 220x5 off blocks. I was reading up on sciatica and a lot of people had success overcoming it by doing direct lumbar strengthening stuff like back extensions, a phsyio mate also told me strengthening the area around the injury is going to help quality of life.

should i see a physio? this shit is ridiculous. the variation in answers and treatments is bleh.

Back way off the weight until you find correct form, better yet spend some time with just the bar and get used to the feel of a correct squat. Your current method is so broken blow that shit up and start over

Also I would start by narrowing your stance a bit and at least angling your feet straighter

Reposting for more answers

is anyone familiar with Cowboy Method here?

Do I adjust my training max week to week from the projected 1RMs off the rep maxes I perform on ID? Or is the goal simply to keep an eye on the projected maxes and to make sure they're going up?

>is anyone familiar with Cowboy Method here?
it doesnt get mentioned here Tbh

>that squat

Fuuuck, what am I even doing

Dying of radiation?

...

Does my name say Former-Radiationliftan?
Even with your single digit IQ you should know there's a difference in the two.

You're the one that wants to fuck me here.

>tfw not boardshorts

no, das me

:D

Then why is your life expectancy so low?

Should have gone with radiation, you'd have sick superpowers.

How much does joffrey total
I think I'm gonna a make him my new target of affections :^)

Are you aware of just how destructive chemotherapy is to the human body?

He's a fat, weak, cheating piece of shit who constantly claims natty when he is anything but. Also uses sumo so you know he's a shit tier human.

Seriously nothing to be jelly of user.

>I'm gonna a make him my new target of affections :^)

>new target
>implying you haven't envy-fucked him via trolling for the last year
>bitch

isnt chemo therapy highly radioactive

Is that you in the webm?
