At what wilks do most people stop doing Texas method? Rippetoe says most lifters will never get to the stage where advanced programming is needed, but I feel like I need it after only a year and some change of training. I'm not progressing week to week
Kayden Miller
rippetoe wants you to gain weight indefinitely for those of us who don't want to be obese we have to move on past weekly progression when we stall :) it's not about a specific wilks number, it's different from person to person
Owen Hernandez
>Rippetoe says most lifters will never get to the stage where advanced programming is needed That does hold true (for his programs)
Jeremiah Nelson
Widely depends on individual - genetics, commitment to recovery, effort, intelligent modifications to programming, and much else.
A year on Texas Method is solid progress, have a think about doing something else if you're not progressing anymore.
Why am I such a fucking failure. Literally everytime I progress a bit I lose almost all of my progress for some fucking reason. I want to fucking kill myself.
Aiden Gomez
don't worry man that's just GDE syndrome which plagues most of humanity
Owen Nguyen
at the risk of sounding like an a7 shill, these shirts are fucking 10/10. would absolutely recommend if you aren't allowed to use chalk at your gym.
also as good as the shirt is, my squats are bad :(
had a really good day benching though. did 145lbx18,18,18,19,20 spoto and DB bench with 90s 3x10 :)
Aaron Young
you actually have lumbar rounding on squats too.. fuck me talent is literally all that matters
Ethan Young
hey whos that DUMB FAG
Xavier Flores
do you still exist did you stop posting because frog came along and out talent chad-ed you
Christian Clark
Have you gotten your muscles firing again
Wyatt Bell
nah i've just been busy idk
this general BLOWS and discord is really gay
Hudson Flores
idk man !
right now im doing my equivalent of a volume phase i guess. havent squatted more than 195 in a second or 2
Samuel Morales
>volume phase Good lad
Good luck I'm sure you'll hit 200 kilos soon.
Josiah Parker
i'd like to triple 200 in the next couple of weeks
Aaron Hernandez
i havent been to this board in a while at least
Eli Russell
hey any1 here smoke meth pre workout?
i sur dont im natty heh
Benjamin Sullivan
the bottom inches of your ROM look so fucking awkward dude
is putting athletic tape under your knee ipf legal?
Elijah Bell
ur a 10/10 bby
Eli Cox
Has anyone here ever put their normal powerlifting programming into a bodypart split like PPL or Arnold or something?
My upper/lower split sessions are taking too long lately, so I'm looking to expand from four days to six.
Dominic Wilson
If I took test for one cycle and haven't used it again since 6 months ago can I claim natty once again
Isaiah Reyes
fuck no that's like saying I had sex 6 months ago am I a virgin again
Angel Martin
Literally every post so far is complete shit. GTFO if you're not actively training for a meet, running gear and competing equipped. Goddamn casuals in this thread I swear.
Dylan Lewis
Hey
Austin Cook
4 days is optimal for pl.
Easton Lopez
But my test levels are normal now. I'm training hard and eating well just like everyone else.
Jaxson Cox
i go by ipf rules if you go 3 years without you can claim natty again
Cameron Foster
Take your test/deca/Dbol like a man. Wtf how do you faggots expect to make gains? Doing meme programs as a natty while taking advice from trips and pretend trannies? Let's get serious fuck!
Thomas Brooks
trip on gbro
Nicholas Reed
IPF is gay. And they roid just as hard as anybody.
Julian Phillips
>tfw out of milk so have to eat chocolate bars to get my calories in shit
Lucas Richardson
they still have to cycle off and pass out of comp tests so no they aren't roiding as hard as untested feds
Kayden James
Nigga just don't take deca lol that shit can't be verified a little bit of test nigga
Your shoulders look like they're starting too far out in front of the bar. Also eat more and cut your hair.
Nolan Murphy
I'm getting a hair cut soon but I just had double jaw surgery so i only had liquids for 2 months and lost around 20 pounds
Thanks for the suggestion.
Elijah Sullivan
Want to give sheiko intermediate large load a shot. Just worried sessions will take too long? How long does a session take you guys?
Ayden Reyes
Daily reminder that high specificity is not going to help you too much in getting a big bench press
Daily reminder to do your upper body accessory work
Kayden Reed
im doing it. seeing good gains coming from medium load. sessions take 2,5-3 hrs everything included.
Caleb Lee
Daily reminder that I want to lick Livia Cavalcanti's butthole
Isaiah Bennett
Like 2-2.5 hours
Adam Watson
>being happy that a friend is struggling
Blake Perez
I'm not happy that he's struggling. Let's be real, he's not struggling.
Connor Barnes
newbie here, and i have a question on expectations. i'm only on my second week of lifting, and i've been cutting for about 3.5-4 months now. i average about 80-90 miles of cardio a week on an exercise bike and average about 1300-2000 calories a day. i'm down about 20lbs and have about 15-20 left to lose. since i'm going to be cutting for at least the next few months, should i even worry that much about adding weight on the big lifts? obviously i'm not gonna be doing the same weight each time for 3 months, but as a noob i'm expected to add 15-30lbs on each lift every week and i don't think i'll be able to do that for very long. i'm thinking 5 pounds a week for big lifts, 5 every other week for ohp, but i'd like to hear what people who actually lift would like to say.
Nicholas Morris
>inb4 why are you responding he said people who actually lift
I would still follow a generic beginner routine like SS or SL. 1300-2000 is really low, but you could still gain neural adaptations by practicing the movements and continuously upping the weight. You will definitely stall much quicker than if you weren't cutting so hard, but once you do that maybe just try to switch to maintaining your lifts until your cut is done.
When I first started lifting I was cutting on 2000 cals a day and still made decent gains in my lower body, but my upper body just stalled super hard. I would also consider cutting back on the cardio a little especially if you're going to keep your calories that low and add in lifting.
Elijah Reed
Hey guys i want to train a power move 2x a week, snatch or C&J? or even
Snatch pull one day
power snatch the second day
?
Jackson Peterson
Snatch is too technical for you to accumulate enough resistance for you to increase work capacity in the muscles used without at least some degree of coaching; the split stance and push push nature of the jerk isn't really gonna add much to your bench either for more or less the same reasons. If you're adding power movements simply for more power generation, power cleans are the tried and true, if somewhat extremely vanilla power move of choice for non-oly lifters. When I was doing the Strength/Power variation of Candito's linear program, I also did box jumps starting from a full squat position, so you could consider that, too, to maybe practice explosiveness from outta the hole. Of course if you do other things besides powerlifting, and just want to increase overall athleticism, then I'd say power clean&power jerk, and (power, if you want) split snatches since you don't have to finesse them as much as a squat snatch to increase the weight to at least somewhat challenging levels from the get go
Josiah Wright
benched 240x1 today
upperbody days are boring as fuck though
Noah Gonzalez
>split snatch
Absolutely disgusting
David Long
pls be kgs
Gavin Reed
bench makes me want to kill myself
ill pull 200kg on saturday though my deadlift is alright
Lucas Kelly
240 reps of 1kg? i'd be bored too
Leo Gray
are you stupid
Evan Price
>200kg deadlift >alright Are you 150 lbs?
Jaxon Cooper
180
Ryan Ward
why are you being a dickhead?
you seem like someone who doesnt lift and just comes here to shit on people dude
Evan Collins
Nobody's squat will ever look as bad as yours.
Connor Carter
Triple at 80% (305) from a couple days ago
WAKE ME UP
Isaiah Torres
Stop folding like a lawn chair to squat.
Jonathan Torres
Best 3 day a week program?
Grayson Campbell

Easton Martinez
Holy fuck this is why I squat high bar
Christian Diaz

Lincoln Cruz
Where would I start with sheiko? Is sheiko what bodorio used to go from gde to talentcuck?
My numbers are 540/325/550 POUNDS
Blake Robinson
unironically starting strength
Jason Gonzalez
Ps I weigh 215 sorry
Bentley Carter
what should my warmup be for maxing my deadlift niggas?
im never sure what to do for the set right before the max
i was thinking id do 1-2-3pl8 then 4 then max? or more like 385 then go to max?
440 will be my first max set
Parker Thompson
135x5 225x3 315x2 365x1 405x1 440x1
Is how I would do it
Jonathan Sanders
ok thanks
i was gonna do 365 then pull max because i thought 4pl8 might just be unnecessary fatigue but ill do that
Luis Richardson
I mean you can if you want. that's just how I would do it. I doubt that one single at 90% is going to fatigue you enough to cause you to fail a max attempt unless you're taking like 20 second rests.
pla enlighten me on bench gains before i drop it on me
Nathan Carter
For me (so anecdotally) volume and frequency matters a hell of a lot more than intensity. In those 4 weeks of benching 3x a week I only had one or two days that felt like they were high in intensity, the rest were just volume out the ass (compared to what I used to do).
I also did a lot of flyes, CGBP and shoulder press; the first 2 as accessories for bench and shoulder press as it's own main movement. Getting strong triceps, pecs and shoulders (obviously) helps your bench go up.
Ayden Turner
im going to do a different bench program starting next week, c6w really is shit for bench
Ayden Walker
How much of a deficit were you cutting at friendo?
Been cutting 4 weeks and bench is suffering like an absolute motherfucker
Matthew Williams
i just realized somethin
the fact that my deadlift is good and my bench is garbage are directly related through my proportions huh?
Nathaniel Peterson
I was losing about 1lb a week, anything faster and my lifts would have just tanked
Oh definitely lmao, it's a great lower body program but it sucks ass for benching
Brandon Gutierrez
Is lifting heavy 3 times a week + walking long distance on off days enough to reap cardiovascular health gains?
Dunno about you guys but squatting heavy really gets my heart going
Evan Cruz
First time running it, on week 4. Just hit 95%x2 with ease on bench. Only got 110kg poverty bench but feel I'll probably add about 10kg this cycle to my max. That being said I haven't done any proper bench programming in about 4 months.
Juan Hernandez
How does your U/L currently look?
Gabriel Rivera
Figured I'd come to ask here since you're strong guys.
Does the amount of sets matter for accessories when it comes to getting bigger? I figured I might be stalling because I have almost no muscle mass. E.g. 5x10 vs 3x8 etc
I'm running Nuckols right now but I have almost no mass, so I'm wondering how I can kinda put muscular size as a priority rather than trying to wait for it through main lift progressions and like two accessories.
Andrew Thomas
IPF is apparently planning on banning lifters competing in Kirills meme fed and also for attending an up coming seminar hosted by Boris Sheiko in sweden
