They still not recognizing powerlifting as sprinting sport and have macros on training day other than 20-25% protein, 15-20% fats and 65-55% carbs. Heh probably you like Mark Bell war on carbs too
who are you quoting?
hes polish. hes retarded

if you don't care about ipf approval: pioneer
Cheers lad
Hi,
Any recommendations for me? I started lifting like 6-7 months back. I had a lower back hernia before this so going slow.
My stats for 5 reps are:
Squat: 110 kg
Deadlift 150 kg
Bench: 75 kg
OHP: 52.5kg
Any recommendations on what I should be doing? Running SS currently. BW 96 kg, 6'2".
Pls no bully
Keep going with SS until you stall, eat more, make sure you don't prioritize progress over good form
Be careful with the squats and deads, you can push intensity but you need to make sure your spine/trunk stays rigid always. Do some front squatting, do McGill stuff in the mornings.
Ur bench sucks ass.
I know. My upper body strength is bad. Any tips for improvement? I have stalled repeatedly and had to reset.
Form is good. I do front squats on deadlift days, olympic weightlifting style. I can do 95kgx3 so I feel my main squat can improve further with a little bit more squatting.
im essentially doing stronglifts but switched to 3x3. im still making progress but wtf do i switch to when i stop making progress?
is it pointless to try to use SS for squat i mean i squat 170kg for 1@8 and i lp'd on deadlift till 215kg and bench till 130kg
my squat is shit because i never knew how to squat i just bounced and muscled the weight up
why would you use SS when you already squat 170kg for 1 @ 8
you're well past linear progression
>Upper body strength
>Stalled repeatedly
Switch to something else for upper with some accessories. I liked 3x beg from 28 free when I ran it. Alternate horizontal and vertical pulls, and do horizontal and vertical presses for accessories, along with some other fluff if you see fit. Something like 3x10 -> 5x10, add weight, reset, or in that vein.
Something with less intensity and more volume to build muscle and hammer good movement patterns. Look into some of the full body 5/3/1 templates maybe. This goes for too
>Any tips for improvement? I have stalled repeatedly and had to reset.
Add dips or dumbbell pressing for 30-50 reps after your main pressing.
becuz i need fast progression
i mean i can prob bench 140kg now if i tried and im dying for a +200kg squat because been stalling on squats for so long i need a psychological boost
I bench 3x a week on nSuns. Also 6'2" and 6 months lifting, but 85kg bw. My 5 rep is 92.5kg, deadlift sucks though.
Just get more volume in, also you probably need some tricep work.
No respons? I guess you are all glutelets
trying to LP when you're past that point will not result in ebin fast progression, you'll just hit a brick wall and not make any gains
its impossible to be a glutelet if youre doing PL
thanks bro

I squat that for reps and still adding weight to bar
Haha, ok raffy
Post glutes for proof
>tfw quads are bigger than my glutes proportionally
>squat is still way worse than deads
kill me
if you left a bar loaded in the squat rack for a month would it be damaged?
...
the logic here is that my fixed squat form would allow my body to LP further
Newbie been slowly working my way up to my max deadlift over the past month or two so as not to hurt myself.
Today I hit double digits, 100kg.
After 4 reps I felt like I was going to die.
Holy shit, now I know why they say to only do one set
You're chasing a pipe dream lad. Most people don't reach a 3pl8 squat on an lp unless they're absolute freaks destined for greatness, going back when you've been through the neurological and muscular conditioning to hit over 4pl8 will do nothing for you.
1 top set of deadlifts is fine if you are a beginner, because your squat will be going up quick.
But deadlifts don't have to be something that kills you in a single set. Take 70% of your best and do some damn volume work so you learn the form better and stop being afraid of the bar.
And then you realize that we all do 8 sets at 200kgs+ lmao
thanks for the input bro i guess youre right
im just saying if i have the genetics to reach a 215kg deadlift for reps and a 130kg bench for an easy single with just LP i should have the genetics to lp to a 200kg squat
Holy fuck bench feels like shit after a squat pr, it feels like my armpits are going to explode
Don't tear your pecs boy
Maybe you just have shit proportions for squat
kek i love reading yakobs polish tier rants about nothing
>After 4 reps I felt like I was going to die.
That's probably because you're a beginner and very unconditioned. My training partners who all pull from 220-300kg do volume for deadlift. 3-5+ sets per session (whether that's comp deadlift or variations), some twice a week.
How do you guys bench wide without wrist pain?
mah bro i fell for the torso must be vertical on squat meme
was either squatting on my toes or on my heels its insanely harder that way
Well what he's arguing for isn't wrong (more carbs up to a point increase performance). The only issue is that I don't think anyone is arguing otherwise so I am not quite sure why he felt the need to post that.
i guarantee he was argueing with some IRL but couldnt convince the other person so he posted it hete to make himself feel
Better
I dont.
Thanks brehs. Gonna try these
Does snatch grip deadlift have carry over?
supposedly if your upperback is a weakness on dl
>Does snatch grip deadlift have carry over?
It's basically a deficit pull with upper back benefits.
plz kys
is TM a good program if i wanna increase squats as an intermediate? plan on doing a 3-day split and looking for to increase my squat. will do nuckols for bench and dl.
Yes
If you're unsure about TM have a look at Cowboy Method. Similar but a bit more interesting.
thanks

Sub variations of lifts for conventional lifts.
3x5 or 5x5? 40% less volume is quite a lot, no?
stop doing meme routines from autistic incels on youtube
>outalpha.com
does anyone take him seriously?
even then, why isn't more volume always a standard for base building?
Because you need to learn to use your body, not actually build muscle
he seems to really popular at Veeky Forums
Veeky Forums are incels
...
who dont know anything about programming
never denied that
What will I lose out on if I pick 3 over 5 sets?
Considering it because it seems mentally easier and takes less time.
nothing. its a linear progression for novices. looking at weights is nough to cause adaptation for dyels
if you dont even know this shit why are you in a general for powerlifting?
>mentally easier
just get a new hobby, lifting isn't for you
because I do know it and was attempting to troll and see who actually gives advice here, also both are you are wrong
why would you ever recommend 3x5 over 5x5, that's total dogshit for a beginner b-b-but mark said s-so!
also lifting is easy as fuck mentally, you don't have to be tough
>I do know
lol okay kiddo
Jap/bulldog grip, or wrist wraps
>also lifting is easy as fuck mentally, you don't have to be tough
okay
That's possibly the worst snatch set up I've ever seen.

Tbh I ran a very similar setup to his program over the summer but as a push pull split, just a big focus on heavy barbell pulls and (mostly overhead) presses with a lot of volume/rep work for back, shoulders, and posterior chain. I got bigger and my joints felt good.
>WAWTT
Comp squat x1 @8, x8 @9, plus 2 down sets
Comp bench x1 @8, x7 @9 plus 2 down sets
Push press x9 @6, x9 @7, x9 @8 repeat 3 times
15 minutes of 1-2 single joint accessories of choice, probably gonna do reverse flys and GHRs
