If I had to choose one thing about this sport that I love, it's how the power-lifting community is SO warm and inclusive of people of ALL shapes, sizes, genders, and disabilities! :)
Pic related - my good friend Georgie after pulling a HUGE PB! He's faced a lot of challenges throughout his life but NOTHING will stop him! Even though lifting is a lot harder for him, he always shows up first to the gym, with a bright smile on his face. I think we can ALL get inspiration from Georgie.
Go Georgie!

What the FUCK is going on lads
Out of all programs TM is the one where my squats get detrained. What do I do?
how hard is your volume day and at what weight
I do the usual 90%5rm 5x5 and sometimes I do 10x3 at 85% 1rm
you've discovered that TM is garbage, time to move to a real program that isn't making you peak on a weekly basis
You sound like a huge faggot.
He looks even more retarded than usual these days, wow
Also gaining more than 10kg in the process lmao
he should just start taking drugs and pull 800 lbs
Forgot to add, they're pretty hard but manageable
Which lift PR is the most likely to make a delicious trap fall for me?
time to cut volume down on volume day
drop down to 3x5
did you fall for the raffy memes?
strict curl with ez curl bar and back against the wall
well seeing as he did 2x3, 3x2 lmao yes he did
going from 9 working sets a week on SS to 4 working sets (3x5 on vd, 1x5 on id, rd doesn't count) on TM
something tells me this will not lead to any progress
do you live under a rock theres a whole book about cutting down volume google 'justin lascek texas method'
We don't take kindly to niggers in these parts mate.
and you think doing less work as an intermediate than you did as a rank novice will lead to progression?
>what is fatigue
oh yeah bro all the 800+ squatters I know do 20 sets of 5 becuzzzz the're elite not novice
I think everyone who does tm is retarded
W-what was I supposed to do?
Next time never listen to trappy/raffy/figjam or whatever other name he uses.
what else you suggest for squats then
B-but it was in the book too
11 sets with 60seconds rest at ~80%
I want to fap but I gotta go lift in an hour.
did you just make this up lol
not 20 sets, but they probably needed to do quite a bit more to get their squat from 400->500 than they did to get it from 200->300
Lascek's advice is completely nonsensical on this front, and he also has some really questionable advice on other stuff (off the top of my head: not working out for more than an hour because muh cortisol)
if your trainingsession takes longer than an hour then youre a restbabby plain and simple
Just try harder
t. skips all accessory work, looks like he's made out of pipecleaners
I wish retards who don't know anything about stimulus, recovery and adaptation, practical prioritization based on level of experience, bodyweight and the difference between relative intensity and absolute intensity and why heavier lifters need different programming than lighter lifters would leave this fucking board ASAP.
I love this inclusive sport! Isn't it great that transsexual men are among the top best, if not the top best, coaches?
Happy trappy day everyone!
but then this board would only be populated by you and me user
> retards who don't know anything about stimulus, recovery and adaptation, practical prioritization based on level of experience, bodyweight and the difference between relative intensity and absolute intensity and why heavier lifters need different programming than lighter lifters
just type FIGJAM it's shorter
A good program
got em lmoa
>transexual men
just a girl that happens to have a benis ;3
trappy makes me happy! happy trappy day!
Cowboy method AKA the big texas method by CWS. It's similar but it has more volume and actual periodization. Short test times as well to improve work capacity. All things gym has a spreadsheet
at the end of the day youre picking things up and putting them down over and over again and the various tweaks of the same basic programs that you spend hours agonizing over wont have more than a marginal effect on your lifts
i'm not advising a tweak, i'm advising that TM be flushed down the toilet
dropbox.com
can you guys try downloading this cowboy method excel that i tweaked and send back feedback so that i can improve / troubleshoot it?

My mistake!!! How dare I be so bigoted :o
i know people who its worked for.... i think complicated workout schemes based on 12 different principles should be flushed down the toilet. how are you working out?

nice strawman lmao
i'm not advising complex programming, i'm advising something that has doesn't make you peak each week and therefore allows you to do more volume and train harder (because you can afford to be a little fatigued)
TM goes one of two ways, depending on where you are in your training and how you respond to training
A: you don't need that much stimulus to get an adaptation or you can recover very well, VD is enough to force an adaptation and you recover by ID, you do very well on the program (at least for squats)
B: you need more stimulus to get an adaptation than you can recover from by ID, you run into walls of fatigue repeatedly - you rotate ID rep schemes, you deload 10% and work back up, but you really just make little bursts of minor progress between banging your head against the wall
this isn't even getting into the shitty bench portion of the program and shitty deadlift portion of the program
i ran TM and have known many people who ran TM, it works very well for a few and poorly for most which is why Rippetoe does not recommend the program and most of the SS coaches on their forum don't either
fatigue is for pussies.
Your body will get used to high volume man. Just don't do it rpe10 every fucking set.
;3c
You can tell it's trappy because something has to be OBJECTIVELY wrong and when confronted they mention what coaches do
Guys i want to do front squats since i squat high bar, but the last time i did them i sprained my wrist and it felt fucked for 2 weeks. What do i do?
>get membership at gym with ipf approved bars and calibrated plates
>everything feels like it's 25lbs heavier
I definitely would have bombed if I went to meet without ever using these plates.
>what is MRV
But trappy loves TM now, look at figjam posts shills tm all the time.
ok rafaello
stretch more, start with lower weights, practice racking even on days when you're not squatting. Basically get fucking used to front squats.
who is this handsome hunk? YOWZA my ovaries
haha ok trappy
you're projecting your mental disorder trappy, nice try
if I dont progress on my ID tomorrow im gonna run c6w for squats

My work did an annual background check on us and I got called in and asked about my racist posts on Veeky Forums
WTF!!!
Hey guys I'm really thinking about competing but I don't really know where to start or even how to prepare for a meet.
Right now I'm 18 years old been training since I was 16.
Weight is 77 kg at 5'10.
Yesterday I pulled 4pl8's for 5 and I can squat a little bit over 3pl8's for 5. My bench is a little bit behind, I'm at 1.75pl8's for 5 right now.
Do you guys think that I could be good in powerlifting?
who /snatchpressbehindtheneck/ here?
absolutely destroys all heads of the delts and seems to be increasing very quickly and easily for me. recent best was 50kg for 7 reps. shooting for 60kg for 5 reps by the end of the year.
it destroys your cuffs aswell been there done that, you gotta think of your joint health long term wise
I switched to one armed db presses these are great aswell, obviously not as great but much much safer so its worth it
>tfw outlift you in all lifts outside deadlift
>tfw still barely 4pl8s for 1
Deadlift more like shitlift, at this pace I'm sure I'll squat 200kgs before I deadlift 200.
seriously?
Lol, leverages I guess
I could deadlift 230kg before I could squat 150kg or even bench 100kg
such is life being a manlet with chimp tier arms
>Mark "Oly lifters aren't strength training" Rippetoe doesn't recommend TM
wtf I love TM now
He doesn't recommend it because it's not a program for anyone that has a job essentially it's a program for wannabe athletes, freaks of nature or people doing joke degrees where they can focus on recovering.
TM is a good program took my squat from 115 to 185 kg, bench from 90 to 130 , ohp from 45 to 77 and dl from 120 to 190 in a period of 7-8 months at bw of 83 -84 kg.
Opposite of you I'mAnd honestly my 185 squat and 130 bench was so easy in comparison to my 190 deadlift where I almost what myself. Such is life of manlet with trex arms and barrel chest
>WAWTT
Comp squat, overhead press and weighted pushups. I think I've been sandbagging my @8 singles, so I'm gonna do an AMRAP with my squat today and see where I am.
>WAWET
bananas, oats and coffee for brekkie
>WAWLTT

>WAWFT
fairly good.
i don't get the feeling that it's a dangerous exercise at all. there's definitely bad shit happening if you do it wrong, but it feels very natural and stress free, especially if you remove the eccentric part of the movement.
what? TM is not demanding time wise at all. its only 3 days a week, one of which is long.
It's the recovery from that one day that essentially needs you not to have a life especially if you are not a super heavyweight and want to hover around 3-4 kgs above your weight category.
>SHWs recover easier
>5x5 @ 75% is so hard that I can't study for the whole week afterwards
You might be the most retarded poster to ever post in this thread, which is impressive considering your competition.
Fuck, this poster beat me to calling you retarded. Youre still retarded
that's simply not true. there is no need to batter yourself to oblivion such that you can't even study before friday. you can get away with significantly less than that and push friday up every week.
it's at 85 to 90 percent it's not the studying that will it's the gym e.g friend that is doing medicine essentially was in the library after uni studying till midnight and had shit sleep he had to switch to 5/3/1
I want to do 2*int for bench but still progress on OHP and get bigger shoulders because >asthetics. Is heavy OHP on two days too much? What would be my excercise for the 2nd day if I want to do 2*int for OHP as well, since CGBP is not it obviously. Would it be more reasonable to do 1*int for OHP and cut back on the accessories? I'd do seated DB press on mondays anyway and probably add a few sets of lat raises throughout the week.
Thanks!
>and get bigger shoulders because >asthetics
just do high rep dumbel pressing as accessory
im 5 weeks out from the ruby
im feelin lean boys!
Welcome to /plg/ mr genova! as a long time fan who also has aspergers i have to ask how you train differently from the people without aspergers
>you will never have a gf
I'm actually going to END MY LIFE RIGHT FUCKING NOW
This is /plg/
fuck off to /hm/ with your bodybuilding faggotry
I don't know what you think you'd get out of a gf that you don't have now, man.
>sex
Just jerk off. Sex is good, but it's only better than masturbation if emotion is involved.
>companionship
Most girls are so fucking dumb, dude, you'll want to kill yourself after having to spend two months talking to one.
I want a girlfriend to put my dick in and cuddle me at night and to cook and do my laundry
That's all I want. Why is life so unfair?
is this guy mentally ill why does he keep posting these pics
That's not a girlfriend, that's a bang-maid. Real gfs don't do that shit, because they're lazy and can guilt you into doing it instead.
You haven't had a gf before, I'm guessing, so you're romanticizing every aspect of relationships.
I was simply born into the wrong era where women are total shit
4 weeks out from my first meet
Can't decide what to open with. I know it should be light but I don't want to be too light
But I also want a strong OHP :(
cuckols says you can do ohp instead of CGBP
>Unironically typing this
99nd for 5 days out
