Does anyone feel that volume doesn't do jack shit for their squat and specificity doesn't make a difference at all in bench?
I feel like most of my squat gains come from work in the 85-95% range at RPE 9ish, while most of my bench gains come from high reps and high volume accessories
Brody Garcia
Uhhhm. No. Here's what works for me:
>SQ: blast out a few tough sets, rep range is almost irrelevant and as long as form is tight it's all productive work >BP: Sheiko/Sheiko-esque high vol submax training with some bodybuilding >DL: heavy pulls from the floor. not a ton of volume, some paused deads, some SLDLs, some hypers
Benjamin Gray
Quién será?
Landon Butler
>squat, few tough sets So high RPE/high relative intensity >bench, high volume but low reps Sheiko style + BB accessories I said the same thing except high rep bench, so that's similar too
The pattern holds somewhat true for you then I guess, idk about diddlys cause I haven't trained them hard enough to know what I respond to best but so far it seems to be heavy singles with a few easy back offs
Daniel Richardson
Kms or nah?
Bentley Morgan
what should a squat even look like at that point in the ROM?
Christopher Powell
First of all why would you wanna kill yourself? No reason to
Second of all why are you 3-4 squatting 1.5 pl8 in running shoes and posting it in powerlifting general
Nathan Young
Was form check buddeh. Forgot my squat shoes
Aiden Thompson
You tell me
Luis Bailey
Lower boi
Also your knees look like they're caving bad but can't be 100% sure from that angle
Oliver Robinson
How much lower? Nah my knees are just bony af
Colton Gonzalez
...
Hunter Kelly
Till the hip crease is below the top of the knee
I'd say a good few inches lower
Benjamin Mitchell
o no
Joshua Rodriguez
Was that how you always squatted or was that just a really shitty rep? Either way, wew
Michael Gray
It was an especially shitty rep, but his normal reps didn't look THAT much better :^)
Charles Nelson
Doing a deload next week. What's a good poundage or percentage to deload from?
Owen Garcia
>form memers
Juan Jenkins
Thanks brah so I'm basically right here
Michael Brooks
is that 155
Eli Bell
Tbh drop volume moreso than intensity.
Joseph Cruz
When I need to be here

Kayden Perry
Is this IPF depth?
Chase Sanchez
Jesus fucking christ lad, stay safe
Parker Flores
i like it
Jason Thompson
Can't tell from the angle but I'd say needs another inch to be 3 whites, another half inch to be borderline
Brandon Garcia
>all these unsafe bars
Brayden Anderson
What's unsafe about ?
Nolan Taylor
Currently on week 2 of the 3 day Beyond 5/3/1 program, anyone else have experience with this?
Also what is the best 3 day powerlifting program?
Joseph Thompson
My gym usually keeps chalk around but they've been slack as fuck lately. What's a good, cheap brand of chalk and what the hell do I keep it in?
Ian Morris
Thicc.
Jayden Sanchez
The bar.
Jack Evans
No handles
I get chalk balls for like $8 off Amazon, lasts me a couple months. Keep them in a plastic bag in a plastic container
Jason Hernandez
I don't use chalk so I can't recommend a brand but I see tons of people just keeping it in a plastic bag
Ryan Robinson
Plastic bag like a ziplock? And a tupperware container?
Jeremiah Williams
Ziplock works fine. Put the ziplock in a tupperware for extra containment
Angel Lopez
Yes and yes, I use a container that has parts that click in, but with the bag I don't think it's a necessity, it's just a precaution.
Asher Mitchell
Personally I put the tupperware inside the ziplock
Isaiah Gomez
Cool thank you. I feel retarded for asking but I'm afraid of making a mess out of my gym bag.
Liam Miller
What's her name?
Hudson Anderson
disgusting stumpy legs
actually looks like a midget

Hey /plg/ where can I get really long socks that don't fucking fall down all the time?
Angel Barnes

Christopher Hernandez
deformed looking midget legs
Anthony Phillips
good thread
Nolan Miller
You didn't even try to do it right
Jace Adams
>No job, swipe left >No tattoos, swipe left Female logic at it's finest.
Leo Martin
>that pic I'm willing to bet all the men she's slept with got completely meaningless tats and were total fuckboys
Nicholas Nelson
>completely meaningless tats Honestly what difference does it make if a tattoo is "cool" or "deep" to the owner. It's still going to look like ass 5 years after they get it, and in another 5 they'll likely regret it either way.
Joseph Russell
> Have 3 tattoos( admittedly, but only to myself, regret them all) > Manage a logistics operation at 27 Not that uncommon to have tattoos and still work/be successful. It's not the '50s anymore.
Nicholas Nguyen
>Not that uncommon to have tattoos and still work/be successful Yes, but are these successful people also looking to pickup sluts on tinder?
i pull 410x3 conventional do you think trying sumo would just set me back?
Colton Phillips
>Wants guys with tats >Doesn't want fuckboys
Don't work like that senpai
Isaac Kelly
literally impossible to say unless you try it.
Isaiah Allen
im pretty manletty since im 5'7 so pulling conventional is already a pretty small rom and i feel strong with it
maybe ill try sumo this weekend just cause
Xavier Richardson
What movement takes the pecs/bench through a full range of motion ?
Nathan Lewis
idk maybe bench press?
Cooper Robinson
>5'7" Unless you have t-rex arms you'll likely get a lot out of switching to sumo over time. You'll be able to get a wide stance without your feet touching the plates, and with a shorter torso the rotation will be smoother.
Benjamin Stewart
ok ill try it
Isaiah Hernandez
Dumbells press ?
Parker Hughes
literally does not matter how tall you are in absolute height. Proportions > everything else.
e.g.
Angel Lee
gf sent me this lads
Aiden Wilson
shoo shoo rafaello
Logan Sullivan
...
Sebastian Howard
So I used the ab wheel for the first time today and now my core is fucking dead
>tfw just tried to sit up in bed to drink some water
Aiden Rogers
Thumbs over or under the bar squatting?
Aiden Edwards
i put mine over but just do whats comfy
Aiden Edwards
I tried over and my back is tighter but it felt like my wrists could be kill if I use it too much
Brandon Cox
I got to 600 lbs squat, mostly with 5x5.
James Smith
>your a fuck boy >your
2/10 would not bang
Lucas Mitchell
That's insane, congrats on your talent. What's your BW? And do you have any videos?
Ryan Nguyen
Tell me about your job, fAm.
Andrew Carter
I was a just about 240 lbs when I did it. I'm going to try it again in a meet on Saturday, at 230 lbs if I can lose another five goddamn pounds before I have to weigh in.
I had been doing squats and shit for about six and a half years now, specifically for powerlifting for about six months, but generally had been doing 3x5 or 5x5 the entire time.
It's not that I ONLY did multiple sets of five. Early on the TM I would do a 1x5 on Friday, and for a TM-esque style Olympic program I did to assist in clobbering opposing rugby players, I would usually do 5 singles for intensity day. Which is also what I've been doing since focusing on powerlifting.
But, even doing that, MOST of the progress is driven by the 5x5. The singles don't do much other than condition me to stay tight and recruit maximum motor units under goddamn heavy weights.
William Flores
Haha that was a weird grind. Nice job though man What are your other lifts?
Elijah Gomez
How to put 10kg on your DEADLIFT. Disclaimer: will not work on excessively whippy bars (ie. Texas bars). Like any other gym tip or trick, may or may not work for you, but worth a thought as it has made 4 of my lifters +260kg deadlift one pulling 295kg. youtube.com/watch?v=2XAffp0SpzQ
Asher Baker
PNP3 is going great lads. I think I can run this program for a few more weeks until I have to deload and go to PIP1. What was your experience like using Izzy's programs?
Nicholas Cruz
Hey look a guy that pulls with godawful form is going to tell me how to deadlift
Ur so fucking dense kevin
Connor Campbell
its a deadlift monkey trying to give out advice kek
Jaxon Lewis
new gym gear and ready to pr. today is a good day lads.
Kayden White
Actually, I'm telling you how the physical world works. I'm going to assume you don't know anything about physics so the video might help educate you.
Jace Roberts
Well I do bench 170kg with shit bench levers and I'm in my 4th year of Mechanical Engineering. So that's a Push, Pull, Space monkey to you
Adam Morgan
Post tom Martin autism
Henry Price
shit is pouring out my butthole We're still in the beginning stages of this shit but I can't smell anything, an odourless shit perhaps?
Jacob Kelly
Still can't smell anything this is weird
Samuel Richardson
So i've been doing SS while regaining my strength and I'm now back at my old strength level (albeit i'm about 10kg heavier now). Should I keep going to see if I can gain more strength or should I hop onto a normal program again?
I don't want to injure myself lifting too heavy for too long (the weight i'm lifting is surely not designed to be lifted on SS).
Texas method, maybe?
Austin Sullivan
Run TM once you start stalling on ss
Charles Wright
That box analogy is terrible, ill explain why when i get home.
You have a pretty tenuous grasp on biomechanics for someone in engineering
Hudson Allen
But won't i eventually injure myself if I'm 330 wilks and running SS for more than 4+ weeks?
