>41 euro for a few cm of textile
holy fuck

Titan isnt much cheaper, I used titan before and it holds my wrists no problem. I used cheap wrist wraps before and they were soft as fuck, opened from time to time. My wrists are begging me to buy some good wraps

What's your bench? I never felt the need to use wraps.

you now know why ''ipf approved'' is a thing

For bench me neither, its squats beacuse I ocassionaly fuck up my rerack, wrist get bendy, on bench wrists are never an issue

Personal preference is Metal Silvers for a stiff wrap, or Black's for a softer stretchy wrap. They are (or were) the best quality wraps at a lower price than the other big IPF approved brands.
Slingshot you're paying a premium for Mark Bells ego, Titan's velcro is shit, SBD you're paying for the brand etc.

Titan THPs are great but I love my SBD stiff wraps

just squat high bar lol

gometal.fi/metal-powerlifting-gear-wrist-wraps-ipf-approved-c-31_47.html

Which ones to get? I dont care brand atm, I just want IPF approved and to keep my wrists safe, Im buying safety not looks

Depends what kind of wrap you want. Blacks are softest I think, then Orange, then Silver which are pretty stiff.

from good wrist wraps I used only titan thp and they were p comfy to me used both short and long ones so I have no good idea what stiff or soft wrist wrap is. Soft for me is shitty one no name or crossfit one for 10 euro

yeah and basedboy becomes basedboy

Do you recommend squat shoes for a beginner lifting 1+plates?

fkoff nuckcuck

Wasn't me, I lift 3/2/4pl8, but the gym coach said he was gonna make me a program, so I won't be spamming nuckcuck no more.

programming is a joke

If you got the money to waste, sure. If you know you won't quit when you stall at 2pl8, why not. Lifting shoes just give you more stability and ankle flexibility. I recommend this program ones you squat 2pl8's.

If you can squat to depth/with decent technique then you don't really need them. That being said, I still prefer WL shoes because it feels more comfy to squat and bench in them. Get some cheap Do-Win's or Powerperfects, when they go on sale, if you decide in getting a pair.

Fuck off jimtard.

I've got the Powerperfects and they feel great even with over 5pl. Isley and Wierzbicki squat in them so I think you'll be fine for a while. The only thing I don't like about them is that they get dirty easily.

thanks for telling me to do SS, numbers are soaring but I keep getting urges to add shit like dips on press days and idk why, no point if I don’t need them to progress right?

Struggling to deal with sessions where the strength just isn't there lads. I've been doing long hours of hard digging at work (6 foot deep trenches through solid clay and training after a good week of that is just awful. Missed a 130kg front squat and couldn't eve push press 100kg for a single (was going to do 3x5 today). It's really getting me down

Just wear flats m8

>no point if I don’t need them to progress right?
yes

more sodium

Adding dips is a good way to keep making progress after a stall. You can add some back, shoulder, abs or arm work in the meanwhile.

Don't add dips, they can be too taxing for the SS frequency and won't really do anything that can't be had with isolation stuff at this point. Flys, tricep pushdowns, skull crushers.

It's easier to stall on SS due to too much volume than due to too little volume imo.

change nothing senpai

3x5 works for a long time. Adding two sets after stalling twice just going to make it 5x5. Novices can start with 5x5 without any problem. Adding sets decrease intensity, but volume is still the best tool for progress.

Isn't 531 a good novice program, where you can add volume and frequency when they stall?

has anyone tried something similiar for squats and bench

Sorry that should be 10 mins, i was too fucked to carry on

Just did sled drags

Just woke up it's half 1 and now I'm gonna have a wank and a beer at a pub

5/3/1 is good for two things.
Adaptability, you can modulate the program as wendler recommends.
Easy to follow, it's not as taxing as smolov or other stuff so if you have a very full and exhausting life outside of lifting, it's the best program imo.

does ankle flexibility is something fixable? or shall I rely on heeled shoes?

Everyone in the whole world uses heeled shoes, but there's one they fear in their tongue it's Garagebro, Cameron

Do I use bent wrists thumbs around or neutral wrists thumbs over for squatting?

Should I get medium or large SBD Wrist Wraps?

>everyone

Not really

These are stupid, pointless questions.

Think a little, then do what's best for you.

I managed to get a tiny bit more upright today.

how the fuck am I supposed to know what lenght is good for me If I have no idea what wrist wraps specifications are good. Its my first time getting solid ones ffs

we gotta addmit that legs in knee wraps look akward as fuck

>how the fuck am I supposed to know what lenght is good for me
>Think a little, then do what's best for you.

Yeah. Walking does too. Equipped is such a (dumb) fucking meme.

24"/65cm is a comfy length

I use 1m and hate it.

Ye thought so seened that 20min for 25 reps was too excessive

Not when youve done a full deadlift/lower session

Enjoy your dementia

Stop going so heavy, just get some volume in and build some muscle, you can't be pushing top end strength if you're digging ditches all day. And desu lad, get out of the ditch-digging field, you know you can do more than that.

It's only a 1-2 time per week and meet/mock meet thing for me.

170, hes been adding 5kg a week for the last few weeks

This one time in September last year I set about the most ambitious program I ever thought of. I planned to do Smolov with Westside Max Effort Lower/Upper body dynamic and vice versa on the Smolov rest days. Truly an autistic brainlet masterpiece.
I didn't get past day 1 of Smolov...

What weight did you use?

Is that like the Dan John deadlift challenge?

>coffee
>Enjoy your dementia
All research shows that coffee staves off things like Alzheimer's.

>This one time in September last year I set about the most ambitious program I ever thought of
That is not ambition. Setting yourself up for failure from the beginning gives you excuses when you want to quit later on.

It's like you don't even want to get strong because it's too scary to try hard over a long period of time.
