Not terribly, but I'll end up waterloading to make 93 for the march comp.
Squat and deads are fine and moving really well. Bench is shit because my shoulders in bits.
Physio seems to be working, shoulder pain outside the gym has gone but I can't bench pain free yet. I'm not expecting more than 120-130 at comp for now.

Fuck dude that sucks would that still give you the 400 wilks? did you get an MRI in case there is possible serious damage?

don't ever reply to me again you son of a bitch

Lifetime best are 272.5 kg (601 lbs) squat, 326 lbs bench, 565 lbs deadlift. Also a 215 lbs snatch and 300 lbs clean and jerk that MIGHT not have flown in a competition because my left arm wasn't 100% solid in the jerk.

The squat and bench press were in competitions, the deadlift wasn't. Best competition deadlift was 545 lbs.

The powerlifting lifts were accomplished by first putzing around with MADCOW out of the gate because even when Veeky Forums was good, it was a shithole trolling nubs out of SS. Then actually doing SS after backing off in weight a bit, which lasted a couple of months. Then a stubborn amount of Texas Method in one form or another (even for the Olympic type lifts) between rugby seasons and golf tournaments until I was The Squat Knight.

Squat in every sense of the word. All of those best lifts were hit when I weighed somewhere in the upper 220s or 230 on the nose. I recently cut down to 216 (was as heavy as 243 lbs) because I wanted my pants to fit better. That cost some strength. I could only squat 585 lbs at that weight.

The past two+ weeks I've been running some self made program that surely won't give me Knee AIDS from squat volume. Basically it's vaguely a HLM type routine with accessory stuff I feel I need to improve upon loaded into it.

Also, I was 150ish lbs before I started lifting barbells.

HLM type routine?

Posting it over and over again won't make raffy love you, Sean.

On second thought, it might. You're both a couple of mentally ill fucks who don't lift.

never mind I got it, heavy-light-medium right?

>MRI
>NHS

Haha good one m8.

Given I had that period of pain free benching at the old gym as soon as I switched to benching in the rack I think it's a neuromuscular/stability related thing, I just can't grok what was different about the setup and what part I need to emulate in the new gym to get back to it.

I'm confident I can squat 230+ and pull 272.5 so it'll be close run for the 400 Wilks. I'm not giving up on it as a goal.

Impressive man, though i'm getting close to you on binch (probably my manletism though but i'll take it)
>rugby seasons
I thought you were an amerifriend?

You have great squat genetics, and a good work ethic I'm sure. But you're hitting the progression brick wall right now.

Slow and steady progression is a best case scenario for you now. 5 or 10 lb on the bar in a month or two months is good, if you can avoid injury.

Yeah. Except I'm doing a volume week, followed by a light/speed/dynamic effort week, followed by an intensity week I'm quickly realizing is going to suck total ass. Of course, if it's TOO much, I can always decrease weight a little bit and work back up into it.

I'm going to gain back into the mid-220s likely. Pants should still fit, and it'll make increasing strength considerably easier.

hard-long-massive

>326 lbs bench
Why are you tripping again?

My club is located in a uni-gym, really nice place, but there isn't really the environment for equipped lifting, so yesterday one of the lads was going to train equipped bench and it looked so horrible to do. I'd love to try equipment, always wanted to try it, but it looks so horrible for the bench press.

if you wanna try staying lean try Scott Abel's Cycle Diet. The book is available in libgen :)

The pain is caused by squatting

Its fucking up all hope of bench progress

I'm so glad I don't have shoulder pains, or maybe it's a feature of being weak

I am. A lot of universities have dingdong rugby clubs as a way to keep 30 something delinquents away from the center of campus for an afternoon. I played for WKU, and we'd play Vanderbilt, Memphis, University of Louisville, UK, Murray State (their rugby club apparently shut down), Southern Indiana, Southern Illinois, Middle Tennessee, University of Tennesse's B team, a couple of men's clubs in the general areas if we had a free weekend, and such.

That's pretty much what this HLM type deal is trying to accomplish. A fat load of volume allowing me to add 5 lbs to intensity week stuff every third week. After a few months of this, I'll do a short peak and see if I can at least hit the lifts I could before I lost 25 lbs.

You clearly don't know how to work the system lad, take it from guy that did 2 years in NHS hospital as Junior doc/dentist in maxfax unit . You need to bother your gp enough just tell him it hurts even when you stopped benching, doing physio and it's affecting your life, he will for the first 1-2 visits send you off with some analgesics and leaflets but afterwards he will refer you to an orthopod tell them the same story and they should send you for a non urgent MRI. It will take about 6-8 months depending on which healthboard you're in but at least you'll get to know if there is some structural damage.
>I'm confident I can squat 230+ and pull 272.5 so it'll be close run for the 400 Wilks. I'm not giving up on it as a goal.
Well best of luck man, really rooting for you.

It's the same issue I've had for years mate. I wouldn't rule out squat exacerbating it, at all, but it's not the cause.

Did 5x10 RTE with 11kg DBs yesterday and now I have DOMS. Thanks garagebro. Is going much heavier on this a bad idea?

What is RTE

Rolling rolling rolling rolling

Rolling tricep extension.

That's cool man, I just always associated rugby with the regular suspects. Then again seen couple of guys that do American Football up here. How long did you lift for before hitting the 600 skwaat?

It's worth a try at least.

youtube.com/watch?v=gPXM1GCsjsc

do you mean like this?

Nope. That's a skullcrusher. In the skullcrusher you don't move elbows. I do a skullcrusher, move my elbows until the dumbbells are behind my head and then lift em back up.

175kg for 3x5 squats tomorrow. 4pl8s soon.

I did 60kg front squats. Felt really hard.

>How long did you lift for before hitting the 600 skwaat?

About six and a half years.

What you are describing is a jm press

Not quite sure desu. I think what I'm doing has a much deeper ROM than a JM press and is much more elbow friendly (but it's not I've ever had elbow pain). Might as well be I don't care, it felt great.

Redpill me on bench grip

Redpill on sucking dicks.

I prefer them on the floor
youtu.be/3N9nVVtgDrs

I prefer to use a curl bar if lying on a bench

The first grip will bend your wrist back and you will have shit force transfer through the arm, you arent revving a motorbike

>I prefer them on the floor
Why? To release tension at the bottom and deloed the elbow from stress?

...

Whatever allows me to squeeze the bar absolute hardest.

So I lift with like the first picture.
I see bodybuilders hold the bar like in the 2nd picture.

>The first grip will bend your wrist back and you will have shit force transfer through the arm, you arent revving a motorbike
Damn, you oughta let Kirill Sarychev and Eirc Spoto know so they can stop fucking up their bench.

>t.sub 140kg bencher

Projection

They have the bar on the wrist joint where it should be...

More to lie down for 5 mins but yeah what you said is a definite plus, breaking intertia is harder

Still working on improving conjugate?

he's never gonna released it, because we bullied him too hard for cpap mask and 0.5kg of salt a day.

I wouldn't either, even without the bants it's not worth the bombardment of stupid questions that follows.

They grip the bar like 1 though...

No one here needs it, me included, far simpler ways of progressing

Such us?
>inb4 5/3/1

Add weight to the bar if you manage to do set amount of reps with it.

what is conjugate

>⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
my amige wohat magic is this :DDD

>No one here needs it
sounds like even more reasons to post it. I can already imagine all those newbies doing overcomplicated stuff made for advanced lifters.

ok listen we got the dynamic effort method max effort method and repetition effort method how do you build maximum strength? well you gotta train with maximum weights strength is measured in time you see its all physics i keep telling people you can not lift a heavy weight slow you can be lazy and lift light weights slow. listen we got the stongest guys in the world training at our gym and we do max effort every frikkin week, you say i you wanna do a meet next month i say lets do it next week and i could beat ur ass coz i do max effort every week you see its the law of accomodation and to reduce sheer on the joints you gotta rotate thru the exrecses you see we would do 3 boards press off chains and bands this week and do 2.5 board with reverse bands chains and reverse chains next week you see you gotta keep changing the stimilus you see put 5 lbs on your lift and go home people keep telling me all the time 5lbs a month is not much but 60lbs a year is alot you see the correlation if we got a 400lb squatter and he prs his reverse band zercher front squat with a dip belt by 5 lbs we know he prs his max back squat by 4 50 3x22 exacty 5.5 lbs

no pls we already had a guy that literally was trying to over complicate a fucking early intermediate routine by switching the type of squat/bench/dl every 1 week or some stupid shit.

it is ill come and eat ur asshole magic :DDD

>barely managed to get out of bed the last 4 days
>lower back and right lat super sore for no apparent reason
>went to the gym, nearly failed a single @ 85%
is this overtraining?

Not even kidding, this place is a shithole. But it has its charm.

/plg/,

I was just diagnosed with Coeliac disease (gluten allergy?) with 98% certainty judging by the blood test markers. In 6 weeks it will probably be proven.

I’m from a Eastern Europe where they don’t do special slowflake diets and shit like that, so it’s not something I will have observed earlier in life.

Don’t know what it is exactly, but apparently it fucks with my small intestine making it unable to absorb shit macros and micros properly. I think I’ll finally solve my chronic fatigue (aka Big Pussy Syndrome) for good and make it. Tired of life at 25, but I just need to survive 6 more weeks with unchanged diet.

Thanks for reading, I’m gonna make it.

just dont eat gluten lol

Godspeed, Pyotr / Mantaz / Ivan

TFW no spoon

>broke week long noporn streak to fap to a tomboy amateurish film
I regret nothing.

>Eat more
but I'm cutting

What is the point of.natty lifting? Asking seriously. Why not just juice and lift massive weights, looks great naked and on top of that eat pretty much all you want.

Sounds like an easy choice for me, beeing weak skinny fat that literally gains a pound of fat in hips and belly after eating a pizza

...

>he doesn't get strong without cheating
The point is excactly what oyu listed, but we get it without roids

More like blacked pizza

Projection? You cannot get stronger, look relatively good and eat whatever you want, all at the same time.

Maybe you can't

As mentioned before, you're right, I cannot. So my only option is to be miserable trying to make any progress, or jump on roids.

plenty of strong jacked natty lifters stop trying to meme newbs here

...

>admitting your cope
Lmaoing @ ur life

Name a few

Why wouldn't I? At least not living in disbelief and false hopes. Trying to improve, don't get me wrong. Just not sure how.

gaining muscle and strength go hand in hand friendo

>inb4 something something iffb pro

But you need slurpus to do that, which makes you fat

Is 3x5 enough volume for squats and upper body lifts?

nope

>What is the point of.natty lifting?
It's a hobby.

Gear, especially in unlimited use, just complicates what is a simple hobby.

Nothing against those that use, but I want to be healthy and hormonally intact for my kids some day. Some gear can be healthy, but it is a slippery slope.

Surplus of what? Whole foods with targeted carb cycling? Or stuffing your face with donuts and pizza?

Your loss

thought you were supposed to bench with straight wrists to avoid wrist impingement? am i retarded
