No it's not. The best angle is 90° side on. Front makes anyone look in, back makes anyone look high.
I think I can agree with that, I certainly watch closer for a specific reason for failure if a lifter is known for making it when reffing.
David Rogers
I did
Barbell Squat 3x5 Dumbbell Squat 2x10 Lying Leg Curl 4x10+ Good Mornings 2x7
and 20 minutes of gay core workout shit. Should I start loading weight on plank holds?
Samuel Campbell
back makes people who are high look high
Luis Martinez
show me a video of someone clearly hitting depth from 90 but looking super high from back
Dominic Lewis
I'd start looking at variations before loading, fighting to hold the plank/brace whilst moving is gonna be better than loading if you want to transfer that ability over to loaded movement imo. Stuff like stir the pot, ab rollouts and this cunt of a variation; youtu.be/MTHUUoxzJZk

I'm going to bed lad, but nuckols made a post about this a while back and I'll try to find it tomorrow.
>Thoughts on my "sumo is bad" analogy? It's what stopped me from being a "sumo isn't as good as conventional" guy lol.
>Deadlift is a simple idea: pick the bar up off the ground and lock it out. Here's another two simple ideas: jump as far as you can, and jump as high as you can. The high jump and the long jump. If you've ever seen an athlete attempt the high jump or long jump, then you kinda understand where I'm going with this.
>If you told me to jump as high or as far as I could, I'd do it the obvious way. The "right" way. Jump as high as I could straight up, or run and jump as far as I could. And obviously I'd try to land on my feet, standing.
>Yet, the most effective way to high jump requires a landing pad and the technique itself is really not intuitive nor applicable to the "real" world (not a super good way to jump over a fence, right?). It's developed to get your body over a high bar, landing be damned.
>Similarly, jumping the farthest in long jump requires a sand pit because you land on your ass in order to maximize distance. See the theme?
>The goal is maximizing your "score" with whatever technique falls within the rules. That's the whole point with all sports. Nobody hates on long jumpers by saying they should land on their feet. Nobody hates on high jumpers by saying they should remove the pad. A lot of people hate on sumo by saying it's cheating.

good idea thanks

As someone who doesn't really enjoy squats much, but have only been working out for only a year, and squats half heartedly. What is it you enjoy about squatting that you develop from squatting more?
David Myers
Just do push pull meets
Oliver Flores
>What is it you enjoy about squatting that you develop from squatting more? The satisfaction of overcoming acting like a pussy.
Hudson Hill
Being able to squat more than I did previously, the fact that it makes almost my entire body stronger, and that it has a high carry over to deadlift
Jaxson Baker
i don't get the deadlift carryover argument
surely it would be easier to progress on deadlift if you didn't squat and had more recovery tokens for deadlift variations, or maybe that was just my experience while i took a hiatus from squats
Dominic Cooper
Holy fuck my life is shit ahahaha
Alexander Phillips
Powerlifting is gayyy
Christopher Martin
I didn't say it was the best way to progress your deadlift, only that it has carry over
Aaron Garcia
yeah ik, i just mean i see that argument a lot for keeping squats in push-pull meet specific programming

I'm getting stronger but my lifts have gone down screw commercial gyms
Ayden Clark
Can i get some uhh... Shoulder mobility excercises?
anyone here a home gym dude? any advice, financial estimates? i'm moving to a place in london with a sizeable basement and i think i finally have the capital to start building this shit
Hudson Brown
You can squat more than you can dl per week and if you're lifting big boi enough weights you wouldn't want to dl that often.
Luke Baker

youtu.be/Sk0xwz6jNiM Super low key drills, do them a couple times a day and you'll see a big difference
Christopher Morris

Pick 1 desu lad, GVT is awful

Me and you friend though I had a 1 week deload. Nothing feels nicer than when you're itching to go back to the gym.

I want to bench on monday and friday and do The Press™ on wednesday What would be a good program for this? I'm an early intermediate

GVT is the memest of all meme programs, utter dog shit.
Owen Russell

Christian Allen
As in for example 3x5 bench on monday, high volume pressing on wednesday and 3x8 benching on friday? Sounds pretty good desu
Juan Ortiz
Reposting for ideas.
Hit 160/120/180 for gym singles this week after stalling a few times on lp training. Maybe I had more in me but nice round numbers, eh.
How do I into big boy programming for intermediates? Preferably 3x weekly full body.
Julian Johnson

Is the Bridge 2.0 uploaded anywhere? Recall somebody mentioning a bunch of templates on the volatile but I can't find it.
I only have an olyfu, do I need a powerlifting one as well?

Yes, one for each weight class.

If it makes you feel better i squat and deadlift in powerlifting shoes.
Sebastian Brown
are you a twink
Isaac Perez
I can honestly say that i completely regret training in my garage for years
Since joining a proper PL gym and training with other lifters ive made so much progress and cant see it slowing any time soon
Charles Scott
I'm 105kg.
Ok now I'm gonna go and at least check out the shoes.
Not everyone can train at a good gym though. I train at a commercial gym and it has 2 powerlifters (not even national class) as coaches and they add nothing to the atmosphere because they're so outnumbered by normies. I'd rather train at home.
Thomas Miller
>I'm 105kg. yeah youll probally get tipped forward like me if you squat lowbar
Hudson Collins
Am I supposed to be lighter or heavier to not go forward?
