Plg

Better get a home gym and read a few books first before you go about doing any of that

No harm in getting a coach to teach you to lift, just make sure you get one who knows what they're doing, like trappy-chan

Nah, I started at about 290 and got up to 340 in half a year with the help of a coach. Not even a prestigious one, just a guy who puts me through more volume than I'd do on my own, and tells me to not be a pussy when I'm about to give up.

My top sumo tips
>pls get some hip/groin mobility before even attempting to learn it
>make your arms long by pulling your shoulders down with your lats, the reverse of a shrugging movement a la marcel
>keep your hips high ffs and stop trying to imitate belyaev

It would be helpful if you get a semi competent one, up to you if it's worth the cost

>keep your hips high ffs and stop trying to imitate belyaev
this took me 2 years to figure out

High hips are...good?

no

hips close and high yes
not just hips close

I can't get a home gym since I still live in an apartment. I don't want to buy a house until I'm sure I'll be somewhere long term. I'm still pretty young and my career is just getting started.

I was thinking looking into The Strength Guys.
I have a friend who works with them and really likes it. He just hit 400 wilks a few months ago.

Yes but you need groin mobility to get your hips IN

If I'm running C6W would it be okay to do W3 lower D2 a day early? Gf wants to go on an all day trip to an amusement park when I would be doing that workout normally.

how many eggs do yall eat per day

0.

im gonna eat 6 but im thinking about the cholesterol meme

None, unless a bird shits on my car, in which case I sit outside and eat an entire carton to remind them what I'm capable of.

4 eggs and 4 egg whites every morning.

When is it appropriate to send unsolicited shirtless picture?

when you spend the day on the beach
via snapchat only

When you look good enough that whether or not it's appropriate doesn't matter.

I still remember like it was yesterday when sheikoexpert btfo of trappy fagit lol

>old manager at work is chad, friends with all guys and girls and they work as a coherent team
>new manager is 8/10 woman in her thirties, very nice and professional. all women at work hate her and all guys are thirsty as fuck and get half the shit done that they used to

Greg?

Highbar squats + sumo diddlies. Yes or no?
Do you think long femurs should affect this? The bar position would reduce forward lean and focus a tad more on quads, which are generally the weakest link on sumo deadlifts. Is my reasoning correct?

>laying on bed, legs splayed to both sides
>legs are also under covers so wife doesn't realize
>she jumps onto the bed next to me, lands directly on my kneecap
>pain so intense I almost cry, and I haven't cried from pain since I was 13
Pray for me lads.

buda

I've been getting oddly excited for benching lately

not even sure what rep / set scheme i'm going to do today but i'm kinda hype

>turning into a typical benchbro

sup

you want some secret mikey T knowledge? ;)

No, budas wife is a twink, not a cow

Slingshot 5x10
Spoto 5x15
DB 5x20

no slingshot available for non-twinks
ok
ok

yes pls

Have someone use a knee wrap and tie your upper arms together with a figure 8.

I might actually do this

Wife weighs 120 pounds lad, but 120 pounds freefalling onto your knee joint is rough

>yes pls

pin press (chest level) x1 @9, drop to 87%x2x5 (divide top single by 0.95 to find 100%)
pin press (mid range) work to x5 @8, three repeat sets
push press, work up to 6rm (ie x3 @7 or so) and maximize NL in 12 minutes

Gonna be smashing this one tomorrow, looks pretty tough desu

Fedosienko posted some vids where he did that a while back

No ideas, lads?

Why are you doing two different levels of pin press?

because that is specifically what has helped me.

What ever happened to caralad?

Probably wrist wraps desu

>Probably wrist wraps desu

LANKLETS OUT

sophie desu lads

>probably wrist wraps

I squated 93% (i dont know rpe yet) of my previous 1rm for 3 sets of 2. did i do good

>(i dont know rpe yet)

what

Kek
Anyways here's the link: instagram.com/p/BAw0DjwiXtT/

Kind of looks like joff if you picture her hair shorter

>i dont know rpe yet
I don't think you know what RPE means lad.
(tip: it's just how hard you felt it was. How many reps do you think you had left on you?)

oh yeah xD i forgot

Difference of one cue
Before

> So much training volume and job stress that I have almost completely lost interest in girls

Does anyone else ktf?

After

...

...

I did last week. This week I'm all good famalam

Going for a true 1rm today. How do you guys like to prepare for it? Not warm up schemes and shit, but everything else.

Pretty good chart, but imo the "speedy" guidance for RPE 7 can be a little misleading when it's a high rep set of you're quite fatigued - eg if you squat 8 reps at a weight you could do for ~11 reps flat out, it will still be pretty slow by the last rep.

I think about all the nerds I've bullied and all the scandi poon I've annihilated.

...Faceguy?

I like to eat around two hours before the lift. Not a ton, just like a cup of cereal or something. Also, I try to make sure it's timed before the lift, not before I get to the gym.
Good music is a must, too. Can't stand the trash they play at my uni gym.

Eat well
Take warm ups seriously
If you're using music, knowing which song you will use for your attempt
Do your usual mobility/pre-lift routine as normal
Make sure no one will use the bar you intend to use for your attempt (my gym only has two power bars)
Make sure you've packed your caffeine/salts/chalk whatever

>tfw no gf

- eat a jar of pickled onions AT MOST 36 hours beforehand
- tell your mother you've gone for a swim at the public pool
- spend a few minutes trying to find that video you saw on YouTube a while back where a monkey was chasing its tail. Kind of like a cat would but it's a monkey. maybe a lemur?
- carry a backpack full of rocks and screws to the gym for lat activation
- DO NOT STUB YOUR TOE ON ANYTHING
- remember that you still haven't written a thank you note to your grandma for her Christmas present

Thanks guys. I've already got my song picked out - holy grail by hunters and collectors.

>equipped

bryce pluum?

>tfw not gonna lift because fuck it, it's finals week and we'll call it a 'deload'

boardshorts

Are you doing Nuckols man meme routine? If so, what do you think of his squat progams?

That's not a full squat, even by powerlifting standards..

>stop trying to imitate belyaev

NO!

that was as shallow as my ex girlfriend.
