/plg/ - powerlifting general

Yeah maybe get the bigmac in place of the smokehouse then.

The smokehouse is just a limited edition, basically burger with bacon and some spicy bbq sauce on it.

The big mac is a classic and never a disappointment unless you're a food hipster.

I think I may have just decided on a deeply stupid approach to training.

Time to see if high frequency/high intensity/high variation makes me stronger in general or just kills me.

Probably be fine. Don't go nuts with variations you haven't been training.

...

Plutez we know you traced that Isley picture

/cbt/ is pretty shit so I'm posting this here
please tell me I didn't fall for a meme

yeah I traced it
not trying to hide it

That would basically be all variations then.

At least the training is fun, doubly so since the backoff sets are mostly hypertrophy work.

Wow I thought this was a troll then i saw the bottom pic

You look SO MUCH better

You look small and weak. Better than the starting fat and gross though.

>so I'm posting this here
why

How much do you sell your Propane for?

Post your body again, i wanma prove a point.

Respond plz

I know I'm small and weak too. Here's my most recent pic.

For a year it's alright I guess. You need to slow bulk for a long ass time though, starting 2 months ago.

I need a front on pic to prove my point pls

wow dude great progress lose more weight so you get abs, doesn't matter if you turn into a skelly. When you get gains they will be more noticeable since you are at lower bodyfat at being lean is very nice.

Do you train biceps senpai?
Also weight in that pic?

Stay on top of your recovery game.

MY CHEST IS LIKE THIS, WHY IS IT SO SHITTY?

Guys, how much shoulder forward is too much when deadlifting and is it dangerous?

If I bring my shoulders completely forward at my setup, my ROM is literally inches, its insane, long arms and short torso. Is it worth it?

I'm working on it. Way too many years of manual work means I've got a pretty good work capacity but also a tendency to get banged up real fast if I'm not taking care of myself.

>Don't forget about me

thanks
I know, I am small and weak but that's because I'm a genetic dead end
probably not going to give up lifting though, maybe I can salvage it
what's up with your lower abdomen/hips though? holy shit
so I can feel better about looking less like shit, and on cbt nobody replies to you unlike plg
'bout threefiddy
I am famalam, I'm eating about 3000kcal/day and I'm not gaining much weight at all and I'm still trying to recompose
believe it or not I kinda had abs when I was at my lowest (77kg) but I jumped back up to 79 and they disappeared

got to write a page on why I want to study psychology

I don't I just need an extra a-level for uni

how can I turn that into a page

regarding to that pic, those are not abs at all like now even close. get this lean

>just did the survey
>MBTI question

Lmao really?

Can't take one right now.

Is the point that he looks about as good as me?

5'11 178 in that pic
I can do 1 set of weighted chins +45 lbs.

I'm a benchlet, so that's why my chest is shit.

>just started lifting
>genetic dead end
You'll be fine, m8.

My lower abdomen/hips just store a lot of fat. It's genetic I guess. Pic related is what I look like when I'm a literal skeleton.

1 set of 5 chins at +45 lbs. Sorry, forgot the reps.

Can I throw chins/curls onto Sheiko?

I'm small af and want to look like a lift just a tad bit

Yeah but I accidentally clicked one and I cant unclick it fml. It's dumb as fuck anyway

What survey?

you disproved my point fuck

I just asked this question to figure out the answer to your question since i'm doing sheiko as well. I'd say yeah. Throw em in whenever, I'll probably superset them with the other accessories.

Of course you can

Fuck boy look

I do lateral raises, rear delt flies and bicep curls after every session. Always had a big back so only to back works when he prescribes it. I think that a rear delt isolation is more important that chins for aesthetics though

...

After EVERY sheiko session I do
>Rows of any kind
>Curls of any kind
>Lateral raises
>Overhead press in sometimes, or in place of dips
>Triceps on the last session of the week

I know, I know
I know guys who look like twinks, they walk in first day and bench 2 plate
not even joking
and I guess your insertions look weird

How long do your sessions go for?

You do this all ON TOP of the accessory work prescribed in his programming? Because it also has me doing flies, good mornings, triceps, etc. already

Well my max bench is still only around 240 paused. Maybe my chest won't look like shit when I get to around 300.

UMMMM WHY IS THIS THING ASKING ME TO LOG INN ??????????

>deficit sumo

Yes. I do OHP instead of dips though.

I couldn't squat when I started the program so never too long.
Now my back is so fucked I can't deadlift so I'm done within an hour lol

Basically I'm grasping at straws now

>not deficit snatch deadlifts
how long have you been training?

Since April 2015. I started out cutting down to that skeleton picture above and have either been bulking or eating at maintenance since. Going to keep bulking up to 195 over the next 6 months or so, then cut down to 183ish to compete at 83kgs.

stats

Awful.

Bench-only doesn't really count as Sheiko

Last time I maxed I was around 330/220/420 at 174(?). Now probably more like 345/240/440 or so.

I need help lads

I can't squat or deadlift for god knows how long.

I can bench and OHP fine.
I'm going run sheiko 3 day high load bench

WHATS A GOOD OHP PROGRAM?

WHATS A GOOD BODYBUILDING PROGRAM?
I can do Jefferson deadlifts in place or normal deadlifts without pain

PLEASE HELP, I AM DESPERATE

>deficit jefferson

...

It was bench and deadlifts until I fucked my shit up

Thinking of dropping TM "soon" and doing a block or two of UCLAeiko before meet in 8-10 weeks.

even though TM is working, I dont like working at or close to technical failure so frequently.

Also, do you guys think I'll develop better bench tech on sheiko or cuckols 3x?

>first day going on /plg/ at work

HERE WE GOO.

>rows
>curls
>lat raises
>ohp

Wew lad I thought Sheiko took forever already just with the squat/bench/deadlift and few accessories.

That shit would take me 3+ hours likely. I don't mind lengthy sessions, I just want to make sure all that extra accessory work doesn't fuck with my recovery.

I'll likely end up alternating chins and curls and do some Seated rowing + lat raises. I already replaced push ups with OHP and triceps are already prescribed on the cycle I'm doing.

When I was doing squat, bench and deadlift plus accessories it helped reduce time by only resting for 2-3 minutes MAX.
I would never rest between warm-up sets either, only the final max set.

This cut time by a lot and improved my conditioning.

WE'RE SO FUCKED

SHIT OUT OF LUCK

HARDWIRED TO SELF DESTRUCT

I fucking love metallica god damn, this scratches the itch senpai

>That shit would take me 3+ hours likely.
How long are you resting for? I'm usually done with sessions before 90 mins

We heard you the first time.

This just ain't the right place to be asking if you want a good answer for those questions. Not in our wheelhouse.

If I go else where I'm going to get answers I don't want.

I want powerlifting programs. I don't wanna stop powerlifting.
I just can't do the main movements.

Maybe I'll run shieko normally with Jefferson deadlifts and hack squats or some squat variation that doesn't hurt me.

I like that idea actually

Thanks for the help user

norsie why does your survey require me to log in?

Shut the fuck up

beacuse

Maybe learn how to squat without fucking yourself up?

Kys

why do you trip

Not till I get a 300kg deadlift

you dont even have a 180 deadlift

thoughts anyone?

>even though TM is working, I dont like working at or close to technical failure so frequently.

who her /gladhesgone/?

>ctrl f friendship

feels good

Why would you kill yourself? :(

McDonalds burgers suck

Just a warning to you lads, I wasted my money

You don't go to mcdonalds expecting quality. Just cheap macros.

You rep my deadlift max for reps ffuckc inm

IM SICK OF THIS SHITTY DEADLIFT REEEE EVEN 160KG FEELS HARD

>no one cares about your 180kg squat when your deadlift is poverty

They are good in a sloppy fast food sense.

But if you were hoping for something like a homemade gourmet burger you set yourself up for disappointment.

Mcnuggers is where its at anyway.

Why would anyone care about a 180kg squat?

No bully, of course.

I've made a mistake

>mcchicken has 20g of protein for 400cal

Not as bad as I thought. Not great but...that's alright. I was expecting 50/50/0 F/C/P desu

imo a 4plate squat is the beginning of 'strong' in a normal gym. Wouldn't win any comps but imo it's nothing to scoff at

>even though TM is working, I dont like working at or close to technical failure so frequently.

You should be doing your VD sets without much technical issue, and I think you should allow yourself SOME degree of breakdown in your ID sets. If you feel it's too much, you can periodise so that you're hitting lighter weights on ID, say 10 or 8 rep maxes. Then go back to fives and triples.

>Also, do you guys think I'll develop better bench tech on sheiko or cuckols 3x?

Don't know about that. But I'd imagine Cuckols 3x is faster progression than Sheiko, which if you're on TM you should be able to sustain.

>secretly mirin that 180kg squat and squat:deadlift ratio
180 was my goal when I first started lifting and thought it was a huge squat back then.
Of course powerlifter dysmorphia set in and eventually want 260

Esmeralda I have a very serious question

...

But why would you care about what qualifies as "strong" in a normal gym? Why aspire to mediocrity?

It's okay, my best squat is 150kg. On sheiko, my doubles at 127.5 kg haven't felt easy. I just want to squat 4 pl8..

where did you get that red checkered wool hoodie? I need dis
