Just kidding friend

reposting becau

I need to cut for swimming, curious about how much muscle I will lose once I'm at low bodyfat and how much my lifts will drop by. Is there a good routine for maintaining strength out there (I'm fairly new although I have been lifting for a several years now)

Yeah, there are different routines for each lift that are great while cutting and trying to maintain strength. From my experience I think the best are:

Squat - Smolov
Bench - Smolov Jr.
Deadlift Mag/Ort

If you combine all 3 and stay at a moderate deficit you should be able to maintain almost all of your strength.

stop this

Stop being such a pussy and just run sheiko while slowly cutting

How bad is it to bulk or bulk more if lifting is getting harder and you are already fat?

I was gonna be a fat 105 at my comp but i want to keep making increases on my lifts and not stall so i have committed to just keep getting fat, gonna be a 120

How tall are you? If you're at least 5'10" you should be fine

Maybe it's your programming that needs fixing.

That is, fine in the long run, not necessarily at this comp. Your competition is gonna be a lot harder in the next weight class up

6'1", 240 rn.

lifts are like 380 5x5 squat, 280 x 1 comp bench, 520 for deadlift singles. so not that strong.

yeah maybe. Im doing lots of volume right now. Want to get a decent total at this meet.

might go up to 250 in the next month tbqh.

are you the hyper extending squat guy?

I think I fixed my DL form and started lifting in lmao not heels.

Was able to pull 330 x 7 and it felt relatively easy where as a few weeks ago 305x3 felt like RPE 9.5.

It could also be the fatigue dissapation now that I'm resting from sheiko. This was beltless too, so with a belt I think I can confidently pull 4pl8 next time I try to max out.

Gonna try some sumo in a few days since I'm just trying Gnuckols 2x Beginner DL for a week or two before I hop on C6W. Pretty happy since deadlifts never felt this smooth.

n-no.

forgot pic. how i felt today

Benched a 95% double today.
Then 90%x3 followed by a two-board press for 5 with the same weight.

Did I do good lads? Are hueg triceps in my future?

Your dl singles were looking p good lad.

When's your next meet?

>Gnuckols 2x Beginner DL

do you actually do the opposite stance shit?

I'm gonna give it a go. I'm not running this long time, just for a week or two. I want to see if my issues with sumo were just a result of

1. Pulling in AdiPowers
2. Not trying hard enough

So getting in some practice with sumo would most likely benefit me.

I've ran it too and I honestly think it helps, even though I've always been pissweak at sumo.

I hope you all sent feedback to both ESPN and Foxsports telling them you liked seeing the Ray Williams squat get coverage

oh god

I wonder if not training in the opposite stance would limit your progress with your primary stance.

Thanks mate.

5 weeks.

Goals are 500/550/300. I think those are unlikely but im trying the hardest ive ever tried in the gym.

When is your meet? goals? how u doing?

At least they tried

I'm doing it with sumo main lift, stiff legs for opposite stance.

I haven't ever pulled conventional seriously (I got to 2 plates on it after like a month and then switched to sumo), and I've had no trouble making progress. Great conventional pullers have probably never/rarely pulled sumo

At an early intermediate level, it's all just strength.

Meet is next saturday, I want 200-205 for squat and 230+ on deathlift, I lift in the afternoon which is pretty comfy so I'll just weigh in whatever I do after a big brekkie.

Only negative thing is my bench being completely ??? atm.

I'm also kind of excited to be done with meet prep so I can work with some good volume, get some more swole going, etc etc.

Also you look less fat than me at the same height and like 6-7kg heavier

Personally I think it benefits as like a recovery thing.

I mean, it's nice to pull like 140kg sumo for a couple of easy 6es on friday after pulling 190kg for reps on monday.

maybe because he isn't weak and sub 300 wilks?

That's awesome; I wish you the best of luck!

I still have some time before my meet so Im hoping I can progress a lot more on volume before I start a yolo-i-have-no-idea-what-im-doing taper the week or two befiore.

Im really excited to get my competition "out of the way" so that I can give my spine a break, do some bodybuilding. Dunno if I will lose weight until I graduate uni, but I definitely want to focus less on competition movement and think more about holistic / healthy(healthier) strength, i guess.

I hoep that doesnt sound like too much of a meme.

>Also you look less fat than me at the same height and like 6-7kg heavier
250 - 255 lbs, here we come!!!!

>when your benching was shit after your pretty good squats so you repeat the whole session after your okay deads

Who /moreismore/ here

where did SSBro go

I was doing (what felt like) a huge amount of volume up until this pre meet week when I dropped to about 2/3rd volumes. Next week I'm doing openers tuesday and maybe some warming ups on friday when I get to da venue.

I bet a long taper only helps super stronk lifters.

he was here i think less than a week ago and he lost a lot of weight

I have no idea if it's worth it for me desu.

My goal is 405 for 5x5, then when / if I hit that, I'll probably add 10-20 lbs to my work sets and try to do 5 x 3 for a week, add 5 lbs, then do doubles until comp.

Deadlift i have no idea how to taper. already doing singles

bench no idea lol.

>/wsg/ is making fun of us again

i.4cdn.org/wsg/1477502957469.webm

>Curl your spine as much as possible

I want to do something like this but for SBD

>that would be the most autistic thing ever

I'm ok with that, I just need a wig

Fuck me I have some major fucking fatigue from that 505 triple.

Also a bit of lat fry from over doing the lockout.

GO TO BED

lel I dreamt this the other night and it was terrible

everyone was in complete chock

the idiots that actually did vote for him regretted it and said that they "didnt actually think he'd win!"

Friendly reminder to use the fucking foam roller and so your stretches

> Fucked Up groin pain
> Can't squat for 2 weeks
> Gains goblin approaching
> Return to almost pain free squat after break
> Stretch and roll hip flexors
> No more pain

I thought this shit was a meme but it definitely is not. Also was surprised to have DOMs after only 2 weeks of not squatting

IM GOING TO DO IT PLG. IM GOING TO PUT ABLE TO DEADLIFT 180KG IN MY RESUME.

Reminder that sumo deadlifts dont count

lmao expect to pass their drug test too

have to lose weight now
>tfw grumpy all the time

romanian dl or conv blocks pull to target the posterior chain? choose for me

CYC has retired because of a knee injury and has dropped 50 kgs in 20 weeks.

He's been rehabbing for one and a half year and can't be fucked to keep trying, as it hasn't improved at all. His knee is destroyed, he'll get surgery, maybe before Christmas. Currently preparing to take the helm of the family company, and hopes to live the rest of his life with a functioning knee. He originally planned to keep competing for a few more years, but alas.

i think he should be happy with a 490kg squat

What a junior

iktf

> was surprised to have DOMs after only 2 weeks of not squatting

Dude. My doms comes back from nothing more than a 2 week peaking. I didn't even stop training

But it's so close to five hundred.
At least show a little bit of empathy, can't you?

Empathy is for GDEs
Talent cucks don't need it.

wtf
a guy at my gym who does bodybuilding went from a 170kg deadlift to 210kg in 5 weeks

I wholeheartedly agree.

Roids + Talent
Can't wait til he burns out. Talent chads should be fucking hung in public.

don't think he's on roids, dude is small and not lean. like 70kg

he is on roids you fucking dumb retard

You don't get big overnight

>You don't get big overnight
When did I say he got big? I said he's small.
Please tell me you're baiting and not this fucking illiterate.

Kys

Forget your meds today?

Interview tomorrow yiiiiissss cam aaaaannn

>What a junior
Junior? He competed in the open category in almost every competition he entered.

>Falcons

shit team senpai

What else would you expect from an urban melanin enriched fellow?

Junior is a mindset. Not (just) an age category.

>wake up
>see this on facebook

It's too early for this stupid shit.


WAWTT?

I have 5x5 bench at 80%, sheiko deadlifts, and some upper bodybuilding stuff.

You wot

Two years of all kinds of rehab literally did nothing to fix his destroyed knee. What should he have done? Gone bench only?

It's an odd time for white people, just read a story where white kids at Berkeley were forced back from their classes by coloured kids as a protest

>WAWTT
142.5kg squats for 8-10 follow by 7-10 sets of 140x3 backoff squats. Then some more bench

>5x5 bench at 80%
still low RPE?

You should listen to the interview between stokely charmichael and George Lincoln Rockwell on YouTube. It's good shit.

thats you isley lol. izlee will never learn

:O

what type of gym do you guys train in? commercial/university/private?

>still low RPE?
Yeah, still haven't gone above 7-7.5 at all. We'll see how tonight goes.

Those squats sound hard as fuck.

I'll check it out later tonight after work if I remember.

No, it's literally only an age category.

I'm running something similar to that bench program you're doing, what upper BB stuff do you do?

Private commercial university.

3x a week alternating DB ohp/bench, rows, curls, triceps for 4x8-12

powerlifting/weightlifting club, medium sized gym with almost only free weights and pl/wl barbells and a handful of machines.

snapped my shit on tuesday

rep 1 of my third double of squats at 80%, form was fine, wasn't particularly hard

at the top i felt a stabbing pain in my lower tailbone

tried to deadlift today and it started acting up again so I called it right before my main sets

i'll buy 5 Veeky Forums passes for anyone who will swing by my place and put a bullet in me

Powerlifting club that I pay as much for a top quality regular gym and the opening hours are 5-8pm weekdays only and a couple of hours on Saturday

Why does every SHW squat their final attempt at RPE 7-8?

Kelly branton ipf classic world's 2016 415kg squat 3rd attempt

RPE 11

probably has something to do with fatty leverages and sticking points

may look easy and then 10lbs more would sink them

Stop self harming

Yeah I'm expecting a nice cool rpe 17 set for the first one

Commercial, feels nice to pretend to be strong benching sub 2 plate

>lower tailbone
at least it's not your lumbar spine breh

>the opening hours are 5-8pm weekdays only and a couple of hours on Saturday
please thats 5am

yeah it could always be worse but hurts to sit right now or do much of anything

i hated squatting before and i hate it even more now

am i real or am i just a seanfigment of isleys nightmare

This. Jeeza Uepa made 426,5 look easy, then got pinned under 430.

Nope. 5pm because it's a club. You go after work. Also you're expected to on either WL or PL nights although you can go either.

Do Isleys dream of electric Seans?

Yeah. Jezza is amazing. He did 440kg at Nauru nats.

Shame he lives in a world with Ray Williams.

Gym had wraps and I decided to give them a go.
They weren't very good, I still hit depth with 1pl8, granted could be that I only know how to wrap them from Isleys video.


But holy shit squatting with wraps > raw squats

Squats finally felt good until my wrap came undone mid set...

This question of my miiiiind

Will we survive this niiiight?

>tfw predicted 1RM is 142kg
>tfw finally an intermediate

thank you based ripplytits

also are you proud of my 2.5months training /plg/? started with 60kg

>when you realise you're not real but actually one of Sean's personas

>i'm just a combination of various user personalities and i resemble nothing of this outside of the internet

Enjoy finding your real max.

Just realised its Pantera
Even worse
