Strongman is objectively superior to both olympic lifting and powerlifting because of the level of variation involved which means that your training cannot by hyper specific and you must consider other factors such as endurance. So why aren't you doing strongman?
David King
Qtddiot; 65/105/140/160kg for a top set of five. Would I be better off running a TM template, Madcow's, etc, until weekly gains dry up or hop on something a bit more complex to start with? Looking for a relatively long term routine desu
Ryan Hall
I don't fucking know. Why are you posting this in a powerlifting thread instead of a thread devoted to questions which do not deserve their own thread? Why are you posting this question without giving any indication of long term goals? In any case I'm going to tell you to do a significant (20-48 weeks) hypertrophy block because you probably could use more muscle mass.

>TM garbage for everything but squats
>madcow garbage period
when in doubt, volume + hypertrophy for 4-6 weeks then hop on a proven routine that ISN'T TM or madcow UNLESS you just HAVE to focus on squat SPECIFICALLY for whatever reason, then TM is fine.
Blake Mitchell
Comment on this: I've recently stopped doing deadlifts and back squats since the recovery for those two lifts takes way too fucking long (they both destroy the spine) Now I do high rack high mass pulls and barbell hypers and break-the-weight off the floor deficit isometric pulls and front squats. by avoiding stressing my spine like a normal full rom dl does, i can hammer my muscles much harder and much more frequently. do you think i'll see faster gainz now?
Leo Miller
then that's not about strength. strongman is basically crossfit for huge guys. olympic weightlifting is more powerlifting since you have to get through huge sticking points. and powerlifting should be the one called weightlifting since it doesn't matter how long it takes you to complete the pull, push, squat. you just have to grind it out.
Jackson Adams
>deadlifts and back squats >they both destroy the spine
t. shit form having, totally clueless dweeb who moves bitch weight
Ryder Collins
front squats is a good idea, also look into trap bar deadlifts.
Colton Brown
>strongman is basically crossfit for huge guys
Caleb Morris
trapbar deadlift is not a deadlift it's a squat
Josiah Perez
Strength can and should be measured in multiple ways though, both from a standpoint of how much you can output in an instant (see axel clean and jerk/snatch/squat (kind of)) and how much you can output for a significant amount of time (eg yoke walks, log clean and press for reps, axle dl for reps, truck/plane tows for time). It makes more sense to test for both instead of jerking off about how you're a top level athlete while only doing one.
>I don't want to do dls and squats because I am worried about my lumbar spine >so instead I will do isometric pulls from a deficit and heavy hyper extensions, neither of which carry any potential risk for injury. >I also for some reason think that isometric deadlifts from a deficit will not be motherfuckers to recover from CNS wise and that this will not influence my recovery
Chase Mitchell
first, learn how to greentext second, by doing partial range of motion you are shifting the stress slider from your joints/cns/cardiovascular almost entirely to the muscular system. have you seen those people who try and combine as many different lifts into one lift? for example: pic related those 'lifts' put most of the stress on the parts of your body that aren't the muscles. so apply this principle to traditional powerlifting lifts and you end up and close to isometric/negative partial range of motion overload reps. that means instead of doing 3x5 deadlifts at let's say 405lbs you do a deep deficit of 3 plates where your reps are like 1 inch off the ground because that's all you care about is breaking the weight off the floor. then you go do 8 or 9 plates of high rack pulls just enough to lock out the weight and be able to not pass out while under it. rack pulls seem like they stress the body a lot but it's very easy to recover from them (I do them every day at the start of my workout).

good night :)
Ryder Moore
I have started following ss. I am confused about the back angle during the squat. It’s mentioned in the book that with the bar you’re probably going to be leaning very slightly foward under load with the bar. How is this initial position different from the point when you first begin the squat, in the middle of the squat, at the bottom of the squat, and as you come back up from the hole? What cues should I be thinking about in my mind to maintain correct back angle?
Landon Perry
Back angle should be same for the whole movement. Think about keeping your torso upright
Aaron Rogers
projection is not an argument, squirt.
William Butler
how sound is c6w for building mass and strength???? I ran it once and i went from 325 pound squat to a 340 pound squat. Is it safe to run again?
Brandon Myers
No, if you run it again your knees will literally explode and you will be stricken with AIDS.
Blake Bennett
did anyone save the pic with the kid with weird lanky proportions squatting from the OP of last thread?
John Hernandez
ok well im actually looking for advice, are you serious about knee injury?
Jackson Jackson
literally still in the catalog
Kayden Martinez
No I'm not, you'll be fine. Just make sure you eat a surplus.
Noah Perry
ok well fuck me then, im on a cut. Will his linear program work fine? or will i have to eat at a surplus regardless. Im not obese, i just have 14 and half inch arms, and sort of a gut.
Cooper Smith
They're both fine, but you won't be gaining mass if you're cutting.
Carter Robinson
ok, understandable. Thank you for actually helping
Parker Butler

I just want to ravage a woman from behind by pulling up her skirt and tearing down her panties and forcing her to lean against the wall as she submissively bends over and presents herself to me and I have my way with her.

Because I think she's cute and she's got the same frame as my girlfriend. Might inspire her to get more into exercise if she knew what she could look like. Why, is this you or your waifu or somethin?

Whys that funny?
Evan Wood
lol fuck off
I'll prolly only hit 1300, but 1500 long term is doable. People start pinning to get past 1600.
Joseph Wright
>posts in a powerlifting general >upset that his gym total doesn't count I'm tired of Veeky Forums posting here

Ian Harris
rip got barely over 1600 and quit because everyone was pinning and he didn't want to
Levi King
>ray williams is 100% natty
LMFAO
Bentley Kelly
1) 1800 is attainable natty, 19-2k if good genetics 2) why would you not want to pin?
Jackson Watson

Evan Scott
>if good genetics >why would you not want to pin? ahahahahhahahahahha
m8 I don't know why you're so defensive, gym totals don't count the platform does. Are you such a brainlet that is unable to understand the difference between the two rather than just the meet rules?

How much can one realistically progress up natty from a 3pl8 squat in one year? I'm 5'10"/178cm and 187lbs/83.11kg for reference.
Cameron Sanchez
Depends on shitloads of variables, leverages, how much you're willing to push weight, outside factors, mentality, programming that works for you and luck (Whether you get injured etc)
E.g I pushed my squat from 110 to 200 in 1 year but then again i'm a good squatter and bencher manlet meanwhile my DL is only 210
Bentley Brooks
I hope those squat numbers are in kg lmfao
Oliver Reed
it's in tonnes actually
Oliver Butler
kek
Nicholas Morgan
Help! What went wrong? I have a small sharp pain in lower back after this lift. Slight discomfort when moving around. Am I fucked? What do?
What I have so far: Barbell rolling forward before lift, hips go up first and upper body later > lifting from lower back. Not symmetrical, right first then left. I need to be more tight and go up in 1 movement. Lower the weight and practice this.
Jose Jones
i cant tell if you are memeing here
stop rounding your lumbar before you start the lift you fkin dummy you slipped a disc. you can clearly see it
Easton Hughes
>towel? >knees cave in slightly >not exen extended fully. no lift
Also what's up with those giant plates? Are you 5 feet tall?
Zachary Mitchell
This has to be a meme, m8 you're rounding there like fuck. Work on your form you're also not locking out and what the fuck is with that towel?
Ian Torres
lol that towel
Jordan Jones
those are bumper plates bro have you ever stepped foot inside a gym
the're comfy as fuk too you can drop them all you want even throw them nothing happens
Cameron Nguyen
I know it's a failed lift. Never said I made it. Towel for grip I know I need to switch + already training for better grip. Im 179cm, dont know about the plates
Knees cave in noted.
Rounding lumbar before lift noted. I don't know why I do it but I remember seeing it somewhere and probably understood it wrong.
Landon White
>Those legs >That upper body >That DL form Man Deadlift truly is the twink lift.
Josiah Green
>Towel for grip >He's already doing mixed grip I can't see any signs of chalk are you chalking up?
Eli Kelly
No chalk Normally I don't use anything, but 1 time I used a towel for a PR which worked. Since then using a towel for PR's and cba to buy chalk. I should buy chalk.
Liam Hernandez
you do it because your legs are weak as fuk
and if youre meming go fk urself u bozo
Grayson Myers
actually so is the bench, if you have short arms you just arch a fuckton with a medium to wide grip now the rom is 2 inches and youll outbench everyone. If you got long arms is the same for the deadlift.
the squat is truly the goat lift, best demonstrator of strength
