What did Gibbs do? Get popped? Decided to finally be open about his use? Competed in another fed?
Landon Davis
How does /plg/ feel about trap-bar deadlifts? they look really fun but i wanna know how you all feel about them in terms of contribution/carry over to deadlift and squat
Robert Gonzalez
He came 2nd
It's a good variation that has great carry over to deadlift/squat
Liam Smith
Very little carryover to either.
Great carryover to jumping and sprinting though.
Nolan Edwards
Never got any real carryover to either from them. Too upright to help the deadlift much, too high and narrow to help my squat much.
Sebastian Howard
>>Brett Gibbs is no longer IPF approved, you've been warned i really don't care lol >>If you aren't doing reverse band, chain, slingshot, bench block, 3 second paused bench presses than you won't ever bench 3pl8 If you don't have good technique, don't bench 3+ times a week, actively train your chest triceps and delts in addition to good specific bench volume, you won't bench anything impressive. literally anyone can bench 3pl8 C'MON >>Don't neglect forearms and progressively overload your SI injury yeah >>If you're over 106, you could do with a cut if you're over 105, stop deluding yourself, you're fat, no questions >>There is no try, Do Harder do smart >>This is still better than /r/fitness objectivity is unquestionable

James Long
Are you strong enough to get half or full blues from oxford university?
Adrian Roberts
i mean if you're trap bar deadlifting 6pl8 wouldn't you also be able to deadlift 6pl8?
Logan Rivera
everybody cares about your opinion
David Mitchell
No.
For the same reason that just because you can rack pull 6plate doesn't mean you can deadlift it.
Juan Evans
>being this autistic
Sebastian Parker
If you can trap bar deadlift 6pl8 you'd most likely be able to deadlift 4-5pl8 as long as you've done some direct deadlift form work
Samuel Sanchez
why can't I get my core tight when deadlifting?
I can brace fine when I'm squatting but I feel like I can't brace when I'm deadlifting
Jonathan Gonzalez
How can I adapt sheiko 3day for bench, considering I have pretty short arms and my sticking point is 1-2 inches above chest. My max is 110kg at 80kg.
I was thinking about adding a bunch of board presses (ill just add a 15kg plate as gym has no boards) for overcoming my sticking point. Working sets of 2/3 x 3 at 85/90% once a week would be ok?
Also, does anyone here do bench work with chains, bands or pin presses and what specific weakness to they target? It's all related to speed off the chest?
Ayden Stewart
They can all be used to target different weaknesses, depending on how they're used.
Michael Murphy
Try breathing at the top. C When i am in the bottom position in deadlift i cant get a full breath of air.
Good news: hamstrings and hips are totally recovered from whatever AIDS I had for 8 months. Bad news: HAHAHA LOOK AT THAT RETARDED HITCHING
Tyler Gutierrez
ok thanks I'll try that out
Colton Thompson
Doing deadlifts at the moment.
How does your lower back feel while resting between deadlifts? I don't know what the feeling is, it's not pain.
Christian Ortiz
Tightness?
William Cook
Yeah I think so.
This is why my deadlift is shit desu. Anxiety over the smallest feeling
>tfw gymbro loads up the exact weight I'm deadlifting for bench >he quarter reps it
Jason Price
So i got in a car crash and was in a coma for a week, is memeralda still posting or should i go back to the coma and try again next week?
Adam Brown
This will help
There is no innervation in your vertebral disks. The only time you'll ever get pain from spine damage is when its too late and already bulging. It will all be good until it isnt.
Also what you're describing is a lower back pump. Pretty normal.
Isaiah Reed
193.4. The twinkening continues :)
Nice seeing you, 200!
How goes it?
Eli Harris
>you won't know you're injured till it happens
This somehow makes me more worried and less worried at the same time
Parker Hall
>This somehow makes me more worried
Every sport comes with the risk of injury and/or death... That being said, PL has a remarkably low injury rate compared to high impact sports.
You'll be fine, until you're not.
Eli Hernandez
:D Budapost! Things go great, fuckawful deadlift display aside. Cured my hip/hammie AIDS, and nailed the trainer interview, which means Mel and I move in together in October and I start working a real job helping people and earning a living. Pretty hype.
Jackson Bell
You ignored my DM and I will never forgive you.
Cooper Cook
I got a dm on a thing?
Ethan Thomas
That's great to hear. You're looking burly! Liking the beard.
Those pulls weren't bad either, when did your deadlift get up there?
Dominic Collins
yep but not anymore I unsent it as soon as I took you off my Christmas card mailing list.
Brody Wilson
Reposting my PR.
Hit this after Sheiko W1D3 so I wasn't even fresh. 145 to 160 in under a month. Maybe 180 will be closer than I thought
Aiden Martinez
Formcheck? (Lower back roundness check)
This was the last rep of my last set
Jaxon Garcia
Who'd you copy that squat form from?
Logan Sanders
needs to be a video
Mason Carter
Oh god please deload. Your disks don't regenerate you know
Landon Lopez
Why were you maxing on first week of sheiko? Gratz btw
Nathaniel Martin
they were there a long time ago, but then a weird stabbing pain in my hams and hips fucked with me whenever I tried squatting over 70% or pulling over 60%
That seems to have finally gone away after like 8 months, and now I can mong my way back to my old squat/dead. Now I get to clean that shit up and maybe build some not terrible looking lifts.
O-oh, okay.
Isaac Smith
Nice form faggot, who do you traced it from?
Matthew Harris
Internally rotate elbows No upper back tightness what so ever
Jonathan Perry
Nice barpath!
All these gains, glad to see plg getting strong.
You're just losing bottom position slightly. You'll clean it up no prob. Looking strong.
Josiah Lewis
Only wanted lower back roundness check Sarcasm? Can't be that bad lad Elaborate? Upper back tightness is definitely something I'm sketchy on
Landon Peterson
buda posts so comfy
Lincoln Myers
I don't do all those weird bench variations and I still bench 150 kg
Ur point?
Leo Diaz
You are loading over 140kg onto your spine and wiggling it back and forth.
Pinch a lemon seed and squeeze you fingers back and forth. That is what you are doing to your nucleus pulposus. It will pinch its way out.
Sebastian Cruz
What I can tell from that screen shot >youre a limp wristed skinny faggot >your knees are too far forward >your ass is too low >you have no upper back tightness, just flex your triceps and rotate your elbows to face you as much as possible, this engages lats. >wtf is up with your bench wrists? You want to be pulling slack out of the bar before you pull it, not hovering over it >you're too far forward, sit back >you are so fucking anorexic jfc, you must e-stat lmao
Camden Edwards
elbows toward you or elbowpits toward you?
Juan Sullivan
Elbows
Jason Gonzalez
Elbows towards. Its basically the same 'bend the bar' cue some people use for benching.
Nicholas Myers
Lol, this place is pretty comfy in general for a couple hours per day. These are those hours.
Nathaniel Robinson
oh okay basically arm rotation mirroring legs
Charles Jackson
Well I'm not trying hard enough it seems b

Eli Stewart
Deloads are much less humiliating in a home gym. Recovery, here I come.
Guys, this is my mom bench Hepburn. Do you think I'm missing anything important that I should definitely do at the end of a session?
Jose Adams
I think if you're trying to do Hepburn 4/wk, you'd be better off doing it as an upper lower split.
But I might be wrong.
Carter Hill
Look at that Trex action Thanks Because it's my first time squatting in knee sleeves/belt so I wanted to max after the first week than get a more accurate 1RM. The minimal fatigue from maxing is worth working with more optimal weights From CandyToeCrush Thanks. Hopefully in a year I'll have respectable stats
Hunter Anderson
Do you even lift?
Thomas Scott
I think I've had enough of squatting.
Time for the push/pull life.
Jayden Morris
honestly this has made me re-evaluate how i percieve women and how they are definitely just as capable as men
i'm glad we have brave cartoonists who are willing to push the boundaries past what main stream media says
also i want to fuck a cat now
Cooper Parker
>skinny Well yeah I never said I wasn't a twink
Thanks for the form tips, I'll post a video keeping in mind what you said
>bench wrists ??? I do pull the slack out, I don't jerk the bar
>you must e-stat >estatting a shit deadlift Pls
Chase Cruz
>bench wrists Oh what the fuck I see what you mean. How do I fix this? Be over the bar more?
Fuck deadlifts, I don't know how to figure this shit out
Aiden Clark
Guys I have a few questions about DLs.
Should the weight be on midfoot or heels during and at the start?
How far over the bar should my shoulders be?
How do I determine where my hips should be? I mean due to my proportions and good flexibility, if I just do a setup from top and hinge at hips only, my back is almost parallel to floor so I have like no knee bend or quad drive?
Jace Robinson
I meant bent wrists, why the fuck are rhey bent? Is it some form of projection, faggot?
Jeremiah Moore
Youll find its too much as you progress
Plus it looks like youre just doing lifts cause other people have said theyre good instead of addressing your own weaknesses
Cameron Butler
What do you mean about the lifts? I guess so, I read that it's better to do a variation for the 3x6-8 sets after the 5x2? I have no glaring weaknesses, I'm equally weak?
I mean, I'm only push pressing and strict pressing for my main movements since I can't bench.
Anthony Young
Idk
Brandon Mitchell
Just pull the slack out of the bar harder, squeeze the bar as hard as possible too
Colton Howard
I'll do this. I just tried the cues of turning your elbows in and flexing your triceps on a wooden bar and my upper back doesn't really feel a lot different
Aaron Peterson
It's one of those things, ime, like falling back into the lift that doesn't really 'click' until you try it with some weight on the bar.
Tyler Gutierrez
It won't feel different, you just pull with a straighter back. I found my upper back when I don't do it and when I do, do it, there is no rounding what so ever.
>day 3 of watery diarrhea and no lifting I want off this ride.
Logan Taylor
I've never really trained my weak points since I have intermediate stats so thought I'd just be weak all over.
If I had to guess these are my biggest weaknesses and I don't know how to address them or how I'd address them in Hepburn.
>Lose tightness during squat especially when I hit full atg depth, no stretch reflex.
>Pressing just weak off delts like most people.
>Hardest part of DL is breaking off floor until below knee since my leverages make my DL basically horizontal. Upper back rounds a lot too towards top.
Ethan Sanders

I'll definitely try it and post a video next week to see if I've improved. That article was super helpful btw thanks
Straighter back including lower back? The original point of that post was just to see if my lower back was rounded, didn't really get a clear response
Chase Ross
Your entire back was rounded
Julian Miller
Guess you're right. Doesn't seem that awful though, my lower back seems straight.
Eli Cook
As long as you are engaging your lats having a straight back then that won't do anything beside maybe reducing chance of injury
Caleb Lopez
How can you tell when you're in the correct position to initiate your sumo pull? Some reps feel different and I can't feel any difference depending on where my hips are until start pulling, and then it's too late.
Chase Rodriguez
>gym has 32mm barbells
They are fucking terrible anyone else hate them?
Connor Sanchez
Yes. This is my situation, I literally couldn't deadlift and bench felt funky. They also ruined my squat form.
Nathan Lee
>reducing chance of injury
I just want my form to be good so I can be comfortable lifting more weight.
