yessir
tfw bondie

Yeah, got full void, fighter torso, dragon defender, barrows gloves but I can't get a fire cape ffs

That better be elite void or into the trash it goes
You'll get the firecape in under 10 tries if you've read the guide, you'd have to be borderline retarded not to

Listen asshole I got to Jad on my first attempt but I'm too broke to keep going at it. His healers fuck me up cause I can't click on them all and change prayer quick enough.
I've done 150 barrows chests and I've made shit all.

Normal void is impressive. Sitting there on the easy bought for 12 hours straight, repeating the same 2 minutes of gameplay over and over, for armour you never really use anyway.

It's impressive but it has been nerfed to the point where blessed dhide/arma is better if you're under 92 range
I'm not trying to be a dick with the firecape, you'll get the groove of it in ~3 tries
Jad is not even the hardest wave

The waves are easy, but I'm too poor to keep doing jad attempts. Paid a friend of mine 1m to let me borrow his blowpipe and god dhide when he's online, but he's only ever online at like 3am lmao.

i fking cant figure out squatting do i need to stand wide or close fking hate this movement it all feels so awkward

>do ez pz diddly of 230kg single guys think it's speed work
>fail 140kg comp binch half up chest
not sure how to feel.

just be yourself

does anyone know a good squatter who has really short shins and long femurs at 5'8 something

>does anyone know a good squatter who has long femurs

no, nobody knows one

tom martin ye faggot

gbro has insanely long femurs and squatter 275kg highbar

but im looking for one who also has really short shins

apparently frog is coached by this dude lmao

Hopefully this coach doesn't rape him.

he's coached by roids.

>i fking cant figure out squatting
Should have done sports when you were a kid instead of spanking off to Pokemon cards.

>insanely long femurs

Do I? My tibias are probably longer than femur

>>>r/incel

no idea but you have insanely long legs

do you know a good squatter who has really short tibias and decently long femurs

>>>/projection/

Start with a comfortable vertical jump stance and modify, probably a little wider, maybe some change in toe angle. If you're too retarded to know what jump stance is just jump up and down in place ten times and see what's natural.

not really that long, if you want to see some shit look up johnny from propanefitness

to answer your question short tibia and long femurs is literally the worst possible combination for squatting, to the point where it may not even be possible to perform a squat with any amount of weight if the femur/tibia ratio gets large enough (not common but it can happen)

youtube.com/watch?v=Av3LO2GwpAk

long femurs but long tibias is doable, it sucks but you can just allow a lot of forward knee travel, but long femurs and short tibias is completely fucked you'll fold like a lawnchair

>do you know a good squatter who has really short tibias and decently long femurs

Probably, but the people i know dont give a fuck and dont blame stupid things for lack of progress or claim to have reasons why they cant get strong

>just jump up and down in place ten times and see what's natural.
While you are jumping around, measure your vertical jump. If it is under 20 in, don't worry about strength sports because it's a waste of your time.

>the people i know dont give a fuck and dont blame stupid things
This. I don't train with people who sit around and bitch about their leverages. It's a downer to have to deal with somebody that makes excuses for being shitty at lifting weights.

>ut the people i know dont give a fuck and dont blame stupid things
neither did I in the beginning but after a year of no progress on just squats and the dam movement feels so awkward really makes a man desperate

i guess you wouldnt understand

A year of no progress excluding an injury, old age and top tier athlete (you arent) has the fault lie somewhere else rather than muh genetics.

I wouldnt understand because im not in the habit of making excuses, ive worked on making the movement feel less awkward

it's a condition called GDE

incurable, i'm afraid

im not making excuses

im just asking if you know anyone so i can see how someone whos relatively built the same proportionally squats and copy their mechanics

>instead of spanking off to Pokemon cards.
Projection

eat 3 kilograms of salt

gee thanks you were really helpful, thats sarcasm btw

It's not a projection, it's an educated guess. Squatting, hinging, pressing, triple extension, jumping, throwing, these are all motor patterns that children develop through play and Sport if they're active when they are young.

It's depressing and hilarious to watch these 20-something year-old males try to become coordinated after a sedentary childhood.

You need to find what works for you, thats what everyone does, only you can find what feels right no one can show you or tell you, you might have an identical build but different hip mechanics so what they do wont work

how do you explain that my dl 1rm is the same as yours then jim

my squat isnt even close

i get that

but the thing is so far everything i tried did not work, i also never ever asked anyone for help, im just open to ideas. this place is anonymous so i can feel like i can do it here

reminder jimposter is an incel

This is the worst place to ask for real and constructive advice nowadays

Because if you're naturally inclined to be a good deadlifter, you're going to enjoy deadlifting and put more effort into it.

That's one of the many reasons why there are so many 4 plate deadlifters with embarrassing benches and squats.

If you want to get better at squat, drastically cut your deadlifting frequency and intensity and squat most days of the week.

Hey want to play RuneScape?

>If you want to get better at squat, drastically cut your deadlifting frequency and intensity and squat most days of the week.
you got me all wrong jim

ive spent the year just squatting, basically maintained my deadlift for nothing until recently because of this

literally spent squatting 2+ hours a session multiple times a week, it just wouldnt feel right but i tried hard no matter what

Don't know then, maybe you're just a lost cause. Hire coach, or find a new hobby.

im sure there is something im not doing or havent tried yet

g*d i miss tr*ppy

I want to die

>gud i miss truppy

What did he mean by this?

i think you'd be surprised

i really do

i think you're a GDE

What gde dls 600lbs

what's your squat and bench? you might just be an extreme outlier in terms of proportions

im 5'8 bench sbout 340 squat 360

at this height i dont really have a weird build just really short tibias

Sumo or conventional?

conv obviously

>340 bench
>360 squat
>600 deadlift

yeah man I honestly don't think your programming or effort or form is to blame here, you are just an extreme outlier in terms of your proportions, short tibias and long femurs are the absolute worst proportions for squatting, like i said above you can deal with long femurs if you have long tibias too (because you can just increase forward knee travel more) but short tibias really mess things up badly

the reason squatting does not feel correct and natural for you is because squatting is not correct or natural for you, your body was not designed to do it

third worlders sitting in a rest position without a weight on their back or babies squatting as a rest position has nothing to do with an adult human squatting with a weight on their backs, the vast majority of people can squat just fine but there are always going to be some anthropometric extremes

Why do my knees ache so much lads? How do I make it go away?

Cut them off

you do 1 @ 8 meme right?

Yeah it's my favorite meme, after thicc thots at least.

* * * REMINDER * * *

bench press is the best gauge of raw physical strength. the ONLY reason you try to downplay it is because you're a weak manlet with a shit bench.

nobody cares that you can bounce your corpulent gut off of your legs for an 8 inch ROM, very wide stance squat. nobody cares about your sumo stance "deadlift" you use because you're a manlet and can't pull a real deadlift. bench press is the UNDISPUTED king of RAW. PHYSICAL. STRENGTH.

OHP > Bench

As a measure of upper body strength.

I'll give you the gist of it. Exactly what I'm doing is a little different right now, I have some lower reps and higher weights currently.

Day 1
Comp squat x1 @8, x8 @9, repeat 2 sets -5%
Comp bench x1 @8, x7 @9, repeat 2 sets -5%
Shoulder auxillary 4x8 @8

Day 2
Comp deadlift x1 @8, x8 @9, repeat 2 sets -5%
Bench variation 1 x1 @8, x6 @9, repeat 2 sets -5%
Squat auxillary 4x8 @8

Day 3
Squat variation x1 @8, x6 @9, repeat 2 sets -5%
Bench variation 2 x1 @8, x5 @9, repeat 2 sets -5%
Bench auxillary 4x8 @8

Day 4
Deadlift variation x1 @8, x6 @9, repeat 2 sets -5%
Bench variation 3 x1 @8, x6 @9, repeat 2 sets -5%
Main pull accessory 4x8 @8

For x8 and x7 your @9 set is going to be ~83% of your @8 single, for x5 and x6 it's going to be 80-85% depending on whether or not there's a pause and if there's any sort of tempo, otherwise it'll be ~88%. You increase the target weight by 5lbs each week if your single was @8, and @8 for your singles should look like a slow opener. Obviously do take into consideration how it felt, but don't get too caught up with taking weight off try bar because it was heavy. Use it for managing fatigue and trying harder, not being a pussy.

I forgot to mention, I also like to spend 15 minutes at the end of each session doing as many reps of 2 single joint accessories (or just something like pullups) as I can.

I still have doms from my 135 rep lat pulldown drop set on monday

What volume should I do for bench other than pyramid sets.

I'm so uncreative I just do a dozen pyramid sets

Shit man, I would be too.

5/3/1 Forever has dozens of primary and supplemental bench volume options.

Attached: 531-forever-cover8_grande.jpg (464x600, 29K)

Only took a couple of minutes, was pretty brutal though

Only got 40 reps of cable rows on the second set i was done

From time to time
126 cb 2102 total level 300m bank.

The Squat is the best gauge of physical strength.

Nobody cares that you can't squat worth a damn because you're doing some shitty meme routine and training for aesthetics

i worship tr*ppy

funny way to spell conventional deadlift

but manlets are the best at bench

Post a video of your squat? I'm heading to bed but I'll take a look in the morning and see if there's anything obvious beyond your leverages that's fucking you up.

I'd suck them titties if you know what I mean.

Jad was hardest for me. Almost got stomped by missing one prayer switch.

crazy how an inch of depth can knock 10+lbs off your squat
>doing SS, making very steady gains
>almost too steady
>not eating 6000 calories like rip says yet squat weight soars higher and higher without much grinding reps
>squatting today
>”maybe this shouldnt be this easy desu”
>film myself during 2nd work set
>less than half an inch above parallel on half the reps, just hit it on the last two when i consciously tried to go deeper, much harder than the others
>decide to drop from 220lbs to 210 and really get DEEP and focus on HIP DRAHVE
>last rep was a good 4 second grind but other than that my form was intact
may rip bless my hips from this day forward

Don't sit down on the floor though, just go convincingly deep

d-do you like my th-thighs?

Attached: spooky.png (551x898, 772K)

yeah, fuck that, i get what youre saying. i dont do the bounce out the bottom bullshit like i did when i was doing high bar as a fat 15 year old wannabe PL’er. shit wrecks your knees desu

>drop weight mid sets
yndtp

is this bait or retardation?

this guy looks bretty bad ass tbqh

both probably

but divebombing squats definitely fucks your knees up, t. clarence's snapped up knees

pls go away
thank you
fuvkoff

probably retardation
for me, bouncing out of the bottom fucks with my ability to maintain ab tightness, and since im a novice (and also based on my past experience with this shit), i figure relying on the strength of my core to move the weight rather than a sudden change of momentum is better for gains.
my question to you is, do YOU have autism? youre getting quite mad over nothing.

he attributed it to the very high volume squatting he was doing when he trained in Poland(?)

so bouncing doesn’t destroy your knees, it’s just your poor form

i guess so, yep
brb gonna give myself 40 lashes over the minor disruption of the delicate separation of subjective experience vs common lifting wisdom by mixing up “my” and “your” in a thread on an online algerian slave trade port
