>>70323440I made progress. Just haven't tested so I can't claim any real gains.
Whose gonna tell JKim that most pros agree that you shouldn’t ever max outside of comp
>>70323451>claimKey word
>>70323471I made gains, that's all that matters. It's an online scoreboard, there's no rush to climb any ranks. You take things too seriously anon.
Any good 82.5 lifters that compete I want a frame of reference of where I need to be and some inspiration cause all the guys I follow are 92.5+. And no rusell I fucking hate that guy >>70323440Look man I haven't taken the stuff in months I'm not addicted and secondly Bobby doesn't have a coach he pays for guided programming from a thaiwanese man

>>70323629Bobby, you're getting baited on a Mongolian yak milking forum...
>>70323743I was able to help myself though. But sometimes other people need help. Lots of high level lifters have coaches. It doesn't mean that they're blind, but that having an outside perspective of someone even more knowledgeable than you is beneficial.>>70323756Don't care if it's bait, I'm bored

Say i just finished a cut and all my lifts went down with 10-15kg, do I progress faster to reach my old peak after starting bulking again? So usually i attempt a pr every 3-4 weeks, should i make it 1-2 weeks the first few weeks until i reach my old maxes?

Bros, I'm running TM, and while I know I should be DOIN THE PROGRAM, should I REALLY be doing 5x3 cleans instead of some other deadlift accessories on a Friday intensity day? It just genuinely doesn't seem like it's an efficient use of my time when my goal is powerlifting, at least pressing is building my front delts and rear delts to a degree, but I'm just very unsure of the efficacy of cleans relevant to my goals. Bw 219 280/185/360My clean sucks, i could probably go to the gym and clean 155 rn. No, not kg. Just dyel.
You have no mass, my dear little friend,And in this fight, it's your downfall, the end.Your fists may be fast, your kicks may be quick,But when push comes to shove, you're just too darned slick.Your opponent's big, bulky, and strong,But you, little one, you just don't belong,You're nimble, you're quick, you dance and you dart,But in this fight, it's the end of the start.You jump and you dodge, you duck and you weave,But your punches just don't have enough heave,Your kicks may connect, but they lack the weight,Your lack of mass, it's your ultimate fate.It's not about skill, or the will to fight,It's just that your opponent's got the might,And though you're brave, and though you're bold,Your lack of mass, it's just too darned cold.
>>70325767Why they guy who Shadow boxes after his set scar you that much?
>>70325904I can't give you a complex answer, but if your problem with the clean is technique just do something simpler like high-pulls
>>70325921Twinksisters...
>>70325244Got his ass
>>70325904Just swap it out with another light pulling exercise like chin-ups.
>>70325921where can i download your mixtape
>>70325921I saw that post in the fightard thread lad. Good shit. Shame it got no (you)s. Still, down vote for gpt garbage.
>>70325904>I'm running TM, and while I know I should be DOIN THE PROGRAM, should I REALLY be doing 5x3 cleans instead of some other deadlift accessories on a Friday intensity day?No you should be doing deadlift intensity…
>>70326009George, how are you A*glos ever going to recover from this one?>>70322598
>>70325904Deadlift variants are gonna be better in 99% of cases
>>70326039Kek we can't. We're dead.
>>70326064what's in 600 days?
>>70323219I pre-shart on my stretches and post-shart on the way home, we are not the same
What would dips go good with in a superset? Yates rows?
>>70326474Anything that doesn't hit the same muscles as the dips
>>70326474Calf raises
>>70326496Yea but like supersetting vertical pulls with vertical pushes is good practice I've heard. But a dip isn't a vertical or horizontal push really, it's it's own thing
>>70326510Bet
Isn't a superset supposed to work the same muscles? Alternating antagonistic movements seems like its own thing.Do dips until you have ~3 left in the tank and within 30 seconds be repping out DB incline.*IMHO IMHO IMHO*
>>70326605>Isn't a superset supposed to work the same muscles?I dont remember what the name is but that's something else>Do dips until you have ~3 left in the tank and within 30 seconds be repping out DB incline.Sounds good though. maybe I'll combine this with calf raises for a gigaset
>>70326605No. I think giant sets can though. Or maybe in this case it's called a finisher? Not too well versed in bodybuilding stuff.
>>70326519It really doesn't matter

yes
130kg Axel C&P Pb from yesterday.Tied for second, one guy got 140
>>70326917Tbh, I find a 140kg axel clean really impressive. 140kg is a lot.
It's time to fucking train>>70326917That's crazy man good job. How long did it take you to learn the jerk?
>>70327069>It's time to fucking trainDo you still do Conjugate?
>>70327110it's worsehell style
>>70327110Sort of but I don't do speed work cuz it seems pointless to do as a DYEL. I just do bodybuilding type stuff instead of speed workI'm slowly reading the book of methods
>>70326936Was surprised I was able to pull it high enough to clear the belt. >>70327069Did about 3 months of oly programming last year, no coach but I feel like I had an easier time than most due to general coordination.
>>70327134>Sort of but I don't do speed work cuz it seems pointless to do as a DYELI use dynamic effort mainly for technique work, but whatever floats your boat.
>>70327161I'll do it once I'm stronger and bigger but I can't imagine doing fast explosive reps of 30% of my shit cancer noob numbers will be effective. Although I guess working on technique does make sense
>>70326883based>>70326917based
>>70327184Just bump up the percentages to 70%-80% and go as fast as you can. It makes for some good volume and it's 'fast enough'. As long as you don't have to grind your reps.
>>70326883British food always gets shit on but full English breakfast looks better than our breakfast here in the states. Also bangers and mash, fish and chips
>>70326917great lift
Got 135 for a double today, my 1rm last week was 125 so I think the extra bicep work I've been doing is paying off>>70326474Weighted chinups, you already have the belt on so why not use it.
>>70327211Dips + incline db bench seems kino>>70327340Makes sense but I'm sticking to bodyweight rn until I get good at the formI don't want to JUST my shoulders. Also nice lift
>>70323140Do you guys know any good program for OHP 1 or 2 times a week? My max was 60kgx4 and it seems like I am actually losing strength...Also, why is the first rep so hard?
>>70327382Flat bench + chin-ups superset is the Wendler way iirc.
>>70327340what your routine like for chinups?
>>70327262the only things you wouldn't get in an US breakfast are the black sausages and beans. everything else is fine
>>70325835>scientific principles of strength trainingThought this would be gay midwit busywork but it was actually pretty satisfying and complete to have westside taken over his knee and spanked by a lifter with a phd. Good post anon, got both of these books.
>>70327340Good job dude>>70327493Nuckols 1-2x bench programs with ohp instead. Or 4 day TM with microloading and accessories.>First repNo stretch reflex and you start at the bottom
>>70327511I'm still in the novice "simply add 5lbs every week" stage so I'm not the guy to ask. I usually just do 3x5 then a much lighter amrap set to finish them off. I'd say heavy bicep work is pretty necessary to avoid stalling. Alphadestiny seems to be the go to guy for weighted chins advice
bros pullovers are so kino especially with decline benchdo you guys do these
>>70327717I personally don't. I've done them in the past and I did Rippetoe LTEs and I think rippetoe LTEs are better because they cover more muscles
>>70327726what is that
>>70326917Impressive. I did axle c&p with 104kg (230 freedom units) and thought I was gonna fucking die. Great work, bro.>>70327340mirin>>70326883Full breakfast is S-tier bulking. >>70327530>black sausages and beansYou can get it here, but you have to get it in bulk and it's expensive. I love black pudding so much.
>>70325835>>70327653Reading rts book now which is much lower quality but the content is still there.
>>70327739Combination of a pullover and a skullcrusher. They're great for general hypertrophy but I'm not sure I'd say they're good for any sort of movement transfer to bench or ohp.https://youtu.be/FrutSwqK5fQ>>70327766I wish there was more detail to it, it's good but all the higher level books aren't great at truly diving in to implementation imo.
>>70327796How fucking autistic is Rippetoe that he turned SKULLCRUSHERS into a compound movement? I'll try it though. Still gonna use the decline bench doe
>>70327184i don't think ive ever seen a straight 30% for de. the usual that i see and what i go by is 45-60% with 10-30% in accommodating resistance. re should be in ranges of 6x6 8x8 or 10x10for example, i did 3x3 @170 and 4x3@175 both with ~20 in bands. thats around 70% of 1rmone of the other keys is rest time. you aren't doing speed work with more than 90s rest times>>70327756>You can get it hereyou can get it all here, but i wouldn't expect to see it on a breakfast menu. i don't even see it on nj diner menus
>>70327692I did the Nuckols training and failed a PR, should I rerun it with the exact same weights?
>>70327827It was actually originally from Larry Pacifico>>70327857If you failed then probably worth going to the next level of advancement unless you were under recovered somehow
>lift every other day>days need to alternate between heavy and lightHow would you program?
Will post OHP later frens>>70327134I love DE for bench. I think it's great for getting a good J pattern established (speaking for myself).>>70327215That's what I'm doing atm, 70/75/80 w str8 w8. Might switch back to 50/55/60 w bands if this gets too fatiguing

titex power bar £375 vs ohio power bar £425, thoughts
>>70327962Stats? Programming history? Rate of progression? Lifts you want to emphasize?>>70327984I wasn't a fan of DE for bench. I would say 3/0/3 bench is fantastic for ingraining good bar path though.
>>70327998wait never mind, mixed him up with the other Mike.https://www.openpowerlifting.org/u/michaeltuchscherer
>>70328007I have not heard good things about the titex power bar. Pretty sure Noriega threw a fit about having to use it in comp. And I think the plates are also ugly as sin.
>>70328033i read some second hand stuff on the interwbes about people not liking it but then guys like blaine sumner use it, isley's friend got one and speaks highly and luke richardson uses it as his go to bar over all the others
>>70328051it should be fine. i personally don't like the opb that much. too much whip and i don't like the knurling
>>70328010>I wasn't a fan of DE for bench. Think it might vary on form/style preference? I do the Mendy belly press thing and it helps with reversal (or seems to) for me >I would say 3/0/3 bench is fantastic for ingraining good bar path thoughI do this on warm-ups, saw where Squat U had I think it was Maddox with him recommending super slow warm-ups to ingrain bar path
>>70328010Taking a break from weightlifting to fix some injuries, so I want to focus on bench, squat and deadlift.I thought of alternating between bench+dl and squat+bench for heavy days and doing squat+bench on light days. Bench is 230lbs and front squat probably around 300lbs mark. No idea about dl or backsquat.
>>70328093What str8 bar do you suggest, 9ball?
Form check on strictish viking press?
>>70328112I would say maybe have each session be SBD?Heavy:Comp squatComp benchComp deadAccessoriesLight:Front squatCgbpAlternate stance or SLDLAccessoriesAs far as general progression goes, I'd probably pick something from pic rel for the heavy stuff and just do some sort of set wise progression for the light weight with high reps.
>>70328117im an eleiko snob. knurling holds, last long, doesn't roll, and doesn't bend.samtek was my next favorite. same reasons as eleikoelitefts powerbar bar was good stiffness on bench and desds, great knurling. haven't squatted with it though so not sure about whiprogue wsb bar is just an opb with better knurling, so that. honestly, like the texas powerbar better for some reason, probably knurling. more whip though? good bench barkabuki is poopoo rolley polley bendboo barive used a thicker old cheap york that was stiff as tits, but the thing had like shitty commercial gym knurling, so pass.bridge built Clydesdale bar wasn't bad, but started noodling before the ohio. so much for the nameid suggest going to a few gyms on day passes and trying them.>>70328176yes that is a viking press
>>70328191Yeah I thought about that too, but I was wondering if the squats will negatively affect my DL, since they are both pretty quad heavy for me (weightlifting style) and if the dl volume is going to be too much?
>>70328212It's possible, in which case you could potentially pick a less strict split, where not every movement is in sync?>Dl volumeCould reduce sets from the pic but you're gonna have to experiment and see what drives what by changing one thing at a time.
>>70328282>It's possible, in which case you could potentially pick a less strict split, where not every movement is in sync?Yeah of course, I don't really care about syncing, so I might just have to go and plan it each training session at a time. But thanks for the ideas, I'm sure I'll pick something up from your posts
>>70326710I see you've abandoned suboptimal sets of 3-6
>>70327842>you can get it all here, but i wouldn't expect to see it on a breakfast menu. Yeah, that's true. There was one place in Sacramento that served a full breakfast with the heinz beans and choice of white or black pudding, but that's the only place I've ever seen.>nj dinerThat's the only thing I miss about nj. Everything else sucked, but at least I could stop at any diner and get a good rueben.
Best way to train grip strength? Up until now all I’ve been doing is more deadlifting and rack pulls but my grip is holding me back from progressing. Is there some sort of program I can add in that specifically target grip? I did farmers walks for the first time today (lol).
>>70328924https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04AMhOAO474Farmers and doh deads are good too.
>>70328924Farmers wouldnt hurt. Big Loz recommended doing deadlift holds iirc, and you could maybe try incorporating axle/fat grip stuff
>>70328924I was doing double overhand holds for 5x5-10 seconds and then adding weight when I'd hit 10 seconds for each set with short rests. 1-2x a week. Worked pretty well for what it was. Holding last set for as long as possible with regular deads also works well.
>>70329011>>70328975>>70328969Thanks bros. I’ll try these. I’ve also never used chalk. How much will using it increase my deadlift assuming grip is my only limiting factor? I Googled it and said 40 lbs or 20%. I ordered some liquid chalk and will give it a shot.

>>70330188In the context of your training I would bet that there would be carryover >>70329247He got injured then quit lifting
>tried Smolov Jr for a weekjfc this is insane
>>70330385He'll come back.
>>70330385Was it a serious injury or did he just get fat and lazy? I've had many injures and never made me want to quit lifting
>>70330385Kk goodI bench like once every 2 weeks rn just cuz I hate doing it so muchI'd get way more volume with dumbbells cuz I actually enjoy it
>>70330455I assume fat and lazy he always looked like the kind of person who quits lifting the moment it gets hard and progress slows down. Especially when you have to cut all that fat.
>>70323140is the book of methods easy to read?
>>70330578Its in english written with latin alphabet. Doesnt get much easier.
>>70330617*throws a shoe at your head*that's for iraq
>>70330494You'll never get strong at benching doing it once every 14 days lol. Is your form good?
>>70330810>You'll never get strong at benching doing it once every 14 days lol.ye i know, but what about dumbbell benching twice a week, would that make me good at barbell benching?>Is your form good?bad probably
>>70330819Considering you're a beginner I'd assume so
>>70330826ok goodi feel like im gonna hurt myself every time on barbell bench lol
>>70330819Yes but not as good as you'd be if you barbell benched. Of course since you're in strongman and not PL then it doesn't matter as much.
>>70330819work on your bench form, you'll probably enjoy it once you do it correctly
>>70330853its pussy shit but i get scared being under the bar like thatsame with on squats but its not as bad with squats
>>70329318Welcome back
>>70330955you bench over 200 pounds. By normy standards you're already very strong. Nut up, you're strong enough not to ACK yourself as long as you don't get crazy and slap an extra pl8 on the bar
>>70331056fair enough although im not quite there yetmy bench is like 180 pounds i think
>>70331056>By normy standards you're already very strongI hate when people say this. Ive had people come up to me in the gym and ask me if theyre strong when I say "not really" they always say some dumbshit like "oh well according to this website im stronger than most people that dont lift weights" like it means literally nothing and its only used by weak people to preface their shit lifts and say something like "I only lift x amount but Ive only been training 3 months and im only 155 lbs and im injured too haha" on an unrelated note ive had 3 separate instances of scrawny indian teenagers coming up to me trying to bait me into complimenting their strength and trying to sell me on their "clothing brand" that theyre trying to start up. its just stolen clipart on tanktops.
conjugate looks fun im gonna do it
>>70331156Most people can't deadlift 400 pounds.
>>70331156its cuz they look at you as the king of the gym and want your approval
>>70331171"Most people" are children, women, and the elderly. If you're an adult male saying things like that you don't deserve to train. I WOULD NEVER COMPARE MYSELF TO MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IF YOU TRAIN YOURE NOT "MOST PEOPLE" COMPARE YOURSELF TO FREAKS BECAUSE THATS WHAT WERE FUCKING TRAINING TO BECOME IF YOUR FRAME OF REFERRNCE IS AVERAGE THEN YOULL ALWAYS BE AVERAGE YOULL NEVER MAKE IT YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO ME NOW STOP SAYING SLTHAT STOP SAYING THAT. INSTEAD SAY THIS: "well atleast you're stronger than most untrained women, children, and elderly." You don't deserve to say "stronger than most people"
>>70331226most adult men can't deadlift 400 pounds
>>70331238>>70331171>>70331226B T F OTFO
>>70331238Most adult men don't even deadlift. If I saw you on the street I would throw you into a trash can>>70331204I train at a ymca(mostly elderly and untrained kids) I'm king of nothing
>tfw no powerlifting gfAnyone have any experience with this? Is this a "grass is greener on the other side" situation? Or is it actually comfy training with your gf?I've trained with my gf before but she's a gym scrub so it wasn't very comfy at all
>>70331985It fucking blows dude I tried training with my significant other a few times and it didn't work at all. They weren't interested in the same modality of weight training and mainly I was off doing my own thing ovassionally going over to them to talk but as a lifter that is focused as fuck when he trains and keeps a good pace it just isn't for me. What's actually good is having a home gym in their basement and having them make intra/post workout meal while you're training and hanging out after. Tons of things are great to do together but training isn't one of them.you cant really force someone to have the same passion as you
>>70331985>>70332057You don't want a girl with 100% overlapping interests. It's good to have some things you and she would prefer to do separately.
>>70332057I said powerlifting gf not gf who also works out. There's a big difference. If you have a gf who just works out she might talk to you in the middle of an intense set, or leading up to it, breaking your focus. Powerlifting gfs know when to let you be and when it's fine to talk (i'm assuming)
>>70332082>>70332073thats not even possible how tf are you gonna find a plgf when there are like 1000(?) girls that actually do powerlifting worldwide? that just seems really unlikely imho nanodesu
>>70332073>You don't want a girl with 100% overlapping interestsDo chicks like vtubers? What's the demographic?
>>70332141It's possible. My fiancee was doing PL for a couple years until she couldn't handle it anymore physically.
>>70332154i meant like organically finding a significant other who happens to like powerlifting as well instead of like getting them into it perse
>>70332142there are some yeah but it's definitely 99% a male audience for the ones I watch, although there's always the fujoshi market too.
>>70332171ever heard of powerlifting gyms???
>>70332171She got into it because of me, but that was waaay before we were dating. Like several years before.
>>70332172Ah yes fujoshi*surreptitiously opens google*
>>70332180what a carefree life you lead, snow elf
>>70332180women with a fetish for gay mentranslates directly to "rotten girl" because they dont make good wives >>70332178whats her total
>>70332188Don't remember and I'm not looking it up so you can dox her. It wasn't that great though.
>>70332193Over under mine?
>>70332193bruh how you gonna call rinny a doxer >>70332175never been to one but I assume theyre male dominated?
>>70332200Smaller total, bigger dots (as is customary in women)>>70332201I don't mean him specifically, but anyone that would be tempted to in this general since it happens as soon as someone posts comp lifts all the time
>>70332183Weird how carefree and careless means 2 completely separate things
>>70332211whats the difference >>70332208true i remember when that shit happened to MA
>>70331226Population wide metrics are bad for comparing progress but no one using these strength standards unironically is comparing towards untrained people. Good old 1/2/3/4 isn't that bad as a initial checkpoint and while the lifts aren't all equal in terms of difficulty it is still a acceptable point for a "normal" span body weight adult male. A giga skeleton will probably have more problems reaching it than a bloatlord but it isn't bad within the standard bw segment which makes sense for something aimed towards beginners.I realize you hate big data because it isn't BURNING SOUL to think about stuff but standards are a good way to assess current performance at current bodyweight unless you're strong enough to be a competitor at regional level.
>>70332208>Smaller totalok good
>>70332230>whats the differenceCarefree is one without worry and careless is someone who's incautious
>>70332235I love standards and data why the fuck do you think I made the hero registry and made it rank by DOTS? It's so people can realistically see where they're at relative to actually strong individuals. I just feel like standards have been co opted by the weak as some sort of weird way to call themselves strong. You say nobody actually does that but I've seen it countless times of sub 400 deadlifters calling themselves "elite" and trying to use that to give people retarded ass advice. The problem is that people use pants on head retarded standards such as the "average person" to say they're strong or whatever
>>70332297>sub 400 deadlifters calling themselves "elite">retarded standards such as the "average person"Surprisingly sane take on the topic, tracking progress by comparing to a random untrained person off the street sounds like something only the most mentally challenged individuals can come up with.I guess my viewpoint is a bit tainted by interacting mostly with the people at the powerlifting club which by itself is a very biased sample skewed towards high performers. Some dudes there prefer looking at the results of local/regional meets and ignoring big data which is fine too, the data is after all just an approximation of the relative strength of a lifter.
Cheeky 5kg Pb after comp, 3x5 at 177.5kg afterwards
>>70332484Wild that you're back in the gym the next day. Take a rest lmao.
>>70332484Gj
>>70332484what numbers did you hit?>>70332535bro ur rank 5 now. also when did it go from 500 to 600 days?
>>70330455what's your worst injury? currently dealing with an ac joint sprain and I have to spend the next week doing very light work
>>70332547Always been 600Also I checked the hero registry and it hadn't been updated.
>>70332547You added Marcel's comp numbers and put him above me. Booooo. Redo it with my gym PBs >:(
>>70332573aight but the bench has to be paused. what are your gym numbers? dont lie bro
>>70332573Marcel's gym numbers* and my comp numbers - he never competed>>70332588252.5 (although it's a double hehe) - 170 - 330
>>70332611and ur bw at that time?
>>70332638106kg, as always. My weight doesn't really fluctuate by more than a kg or two
>>70332535Honestly felt pretty good, was just going to do some light deload work but yolo.>>70332543Thanks brah
>>70332641ok but that still leaves you 3 DOTS points behind marcel.
>>70332663Marcelllllll
Should I get those specilized squat shoes with the high heels, my squat is lagging behind my other lifts and I was wondering if it would help or not.
>>70332749For reference my lifts are250 bemch225 for squat425 for deadlift
>>70332749nah it probs wont do much. put pl8s under your heels to see if it makes any diff first>>70332724so uhh you gonna change ur rank in namefield?
>bulk up 7kg since end of december>gf says I look exactly the samedunno if this is a good thing or a bad thing, bros
THIS ONE GOES OUT TO ALL THE DOUBTERS FROM LAST WEEK AFTER I FAILED IT FIRST TRYEZ REP>>70332776wtf is that squat
>>70333112Is that the same spotter as last week?
>>70333128it's his lover
>>70333128452 is not TIED with 455 its LESS
>>70333128YeThis was try #2 for fun, because it went up so easily I wanted to try longer pause. Midway you can see the son of a bitch start smiling because I groaned "DON'T TOUCH THE FUCKING BAR" due to last week's experience
>>70333174>due to last week's experienceVid?
>>70333188>>70289502>>70289544I asked him to do commands and shit. It never happened and I was dying at the bottom. He also grabbed it once before when I felt like I had a (tiny) chance of making it
>>70333156I added a fudge factor to my total since my squat PB was a double so I can equal Marcel
Is there any reason not to do all my bench reps paused if my pause bench is 90-95% as strong as my regular bench? I'm doing nuckols int bench and I'd like to know if I'm actually progressing on AMRAP sets, not if I'm bouncing the reps more this week or not. Feels like doing AMRAP with a 1-2 second pause each rep would be a lot better at telling if i'm actually progressing or not
>>70333112>>70333174why are you even using a spotter if you already have safetiesespecially if you're already being hindered by him
>>70333174>>70333236This. If you set your safeties right, you should be able to push the bar towards your neck and having land on safeties>muh gym requires itDon't comply
is dedicated biceps work important for getting good at chinups?
>>70333280Good? Probably notAs good as you can get? Yes
>>70332141wtf are you on about? There are probably 1000 girls doing powerlifting or weightlifting in my area alone
>>70333324Not to mention you could always poach a Crossfit grill
>>70323140I just did 5 reps of 60kg ohp and I'm afraid I can't muster another set. What should I do?
>>70333324>>70333337Or take the Isleypill: goth bb grill with big bootah
>>70333333Let's see>>70333339Do a set with lower weight depending on what program you are doing
>>70333378
>>7033337850kg is equally as hard as 60kg for meI churned out 5 rep, 3 rep, 4 rep so far of 60kg. I have never taken anabolic steroids. There is a small creature on my shoulder that keeps whispering the word "Anavar" It is red with a forked tongue and an arrow tail with rat legs.
>>70333413What did he mean by this?>>70333424Longer rest (depending on program)
>>70333429I made up my program. I'm already overweight, but I know realistically that if I'm not gaining weight, my progression will stagnate. I weigh 80kg right now but I should be 70kg. I am very overweight. For some reason seated db press is excessively easy and I could probably throw 30kg dumbbells. I'm in a crisis. I could just risk my cardiac health to pursue 100kg ohp but really, I should be losing weight
>>70333526>I am very overweight.>For some reason seated db press is excessively easy and I could probably throw 30kg dumbbells. I'm in a crisis. I could just risk my cardiac health to pursue 100kg ohp but really, I should be losing weightYou don't need to be bloated to press 100kg and you can easily press 30kg dumbbells because you are doing half reps
>>70333597Aren't you 90+kg at 160cm
>>70333650I was 88kg at 166cm for that press. I don't know how fat you were imagining someone had to be to press 2 pl8s
>>70333667>88kg at 166cmThat's very chunky unless you are pinning vitamin SNot me btw, I press 2pl8 @ 195 lbs
>>70333681>That's very chunky unless you are pinning vitamin SObviously i'm not by any means skinny at 88kg but i'm also JACKED and natty

>>70333236>>70333256Because I need help with lift off for 1RM attempts.Also the whole peer pressure and doing it with they boys that helps

>>70325767>>70334140Fwiw I’m getting back into bjj. Going to go light for a while to see how it feels. If it’s gets too bad, I’ll stick to Muay Thai. Just lifting is so boring.
>>70334215Forgot trip. I tore my pec doing bjj on a bad arm bar.
>>70334223I didn't know that could happen, but then again, Bobby tore his pec while squatting
This ones going jn the bin
>>70334256Wait seriously? I thought I was safe doing squats and deads. How much was he doing? Is he natty?
>dying threadKeep it afloat w booba
>>70334343>How much was he doing? Is he natty?He was just starting out. He was basically doing behind the back barbell flies by pushing the bar into his back with his pecs>natty?Yes

>>70334140Whilst I would ordinarily strength mog, this ex-powerlifter trains at my local club, and in his day he was better than me. So I would be just a good white belt. Also, I'm very frequently snabbed. My back was really bad not even a year ago, and my torn lat isn't fully recovered even if it can deadlift good again. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoAEUXToRcR/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
>>70334173I know how to unrack, I am just not risking it because of months of prep and my lack of very very heavy singles. Again I only do it when going for 1Rms
>>70334534
>>70334534What are you risking? If you actually know how to unrack, you aren't risking anything
>>70334343he's not natty sustained usage of prozac over a long period of time has lowered his bone mineral density as well as weakened the connective tissue on top of making him dependent on them to not rope
>>70333840Gotta be like 160cm at 83kg then.
