200/120/215 at 95 kg

Now around 190/115-120/215 at 92

because I wouldn't waste money when trying harder is a perfectly good option and I'm not even advanced yet. Made some of the best progress during december and january doing my own programming

>It's probably the only real thing I have in my life
A coach can't fix this part. You need to get sorted, it's good for gains.

Link me his IG

I'm not asking a coach to fix it.
I have grown leaps and bounds these last two years. I'm, dare I say it, the happiest I've been since my teens

who'd have thought :v)

Any 5 day split 5X5 programs? Checked the sticky and googled around. Seems to be rare, but I'd like to hit every muscle group at least twice

>making unprecedented gains at home gym
>actually missing mires at the gym

Anyone else know this feel?

Not many people need to be lifting 5 days a week. You'd be much better off really pushing 3 to 4 days per week.

Sure.
>Day 1
5x5 Squat
>Day 2
5x5 Bench
>Day 3
5x5 Deadlift
>Day 4
5x5 Press
>Day 5
5x5 Chinup

>Day 8
6x6 Squat
>Day 9
6x6 Bench
>Day 10
6x6 Deadlift
>Day 11
6x6 Press
>Day 12
6x6 Chinup

Week #3 is 8x8, Week #4 is 10x10. All with the same weight. Week #5 is 5x5 again with 5lbs added to the upper body lifts and 10lbs added to lower body.

Why does it have to be 5x5?
Are you a beginner?
Nsuns 531 is 4-6 days in an upper lower type split. Thats the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

>like to hit every muscle group at least twice
You can do that even when lifting twice a week.

heavy squat, light bench
heavy The Press™, heavy deadlift
heavy bench, light squat
rest
heavy squat, heavy bench
light squat, light bench, light deadlift
rest

light days can also just be variations
but they do need to be much easier than normal work
add a little bit of fluff every day

also you probably really don't need to lift 5 days a week

wrong thread buddy

Yeah, we all saw that thread too buddy

how this guy hasnt gotten several herniated discs yet is beyond me

Are there really grown men that consider themselves powerlifters who can't deadlift 200kg cold?

the other day i did 190kg sumo cold to prove it was easy as fuck

first time i did sumo as well ever the idea that i couldve pulled a groin muscle was very exiciting

I suppose it's not top secret, so instagram.com/rocco_secco/.

is there any good highbar squatter who doesnt squat relatively upright

only one i can think of is pete rubish and he rounds the shit out of this upperback and keeps getting his spine rekked

this guy isnt natty

who gives a shit

it's a wonder to me that he's not a paraplegic

me

how much do you squat

im starting to get convinced that squatting a lot highbar without being upright is impossible unless youre some outlier

I'm impressed by this guys spine desu

Attached: ppHop.gif (112x112, 11K)

best is 405 x 4 highbar (non comp equipment)
best lowbar is 440 (comp equipment)

I'm 6'2, 200 lbs. What is my max natty deadlift potential?

500kg

bench press is the best gauge of RAW PHYSICAL STRENGTH. you only downplay this because you're a pudgy, weak little shit of a manlet with an equally embarrassing bench press.

nobody gives a shit that you can bounce your morbidly obese gut off of your legs for your little bullshit wide stance "squat". nobody cares about your 5 inch ROM sumo "deadlift".

bench. press. is. king.

Whats your bench?

more than yours you dainty little manlet lmao

Yikes thought so

650-700+ depending on work ethic

more than you'll ever manage you little faggot.

Haha ok weeb-sean

Thank you lad, I will.
Blessings.

What would ever give you that impression? I know a 66kg who tore his adductor squatting lmao 3pl8 because he didn't warm up enough or something

Oh fuck off

Ty. If I hit 470 without peaking rn how long do you think that takes? Another 3-5 years?

Depends.

It took me 2 years to get 1000lbs, I'm in year 3 @ 1100ish. My genetics are pretty shit. Does that help?

nah. stop projecting and go do something about your shit lifts, manlet.

>kinda bored, venture outside of peelj for a laugh

how the fuck do you train to have correct squat posture and barbell row form?
it's like i'm too tight in some places so I can't get proper form

Have your boyfriend fuck your tight knots from behind

I hit 515 when I was about your weight. I hit 600 at 25 lbs heavier. Try hard.

How does fat improve "leverages"?

being fat only makes my deadlift worse.

Attached: In this webm, Eddie hall deadlifts 500 kg.webm (400x222, 1.41M)

I'm at 470 still adding, I just wanted estimations.

Focus on what you are doing, not where you think you might end up.

that's because you're not only fat, but also weak

Ha ha, okay nu-fag

I just want to get to a point where I know it isn't my routine or diet or something and I've just topped out. It isn't an effort issue, I burst a blood vessel in my eye a few weeks ago and damn near pass out on lower days.

>effort
Effort doesn't need to mean giving 110% every session. Effort is sometimes giving 90% over years of training, and a consistent and process-oriented manner.

wut a retard good fucked up spine gains bro. Dude has no definition on him. Why do normies ego train and not strength train.

;)

I receive thousands of questions about training templates, assistance work and “form videos”all hoping that there is a reason for their lack of PR’s, lack of progress or simply looking for the magic formula for getting stronger. Yes, if you are squatting with the barbell on your forehead, you will have to make a change. But the factors that no one even considers are Will and Desire. These two things can force a square peg to fit into a round hole. The world is filled with millions of examples of people doing extraordinary things with Will and Desire.

Why not you? I see so many people settling for mediocrity simply because they think successful people have some kind of advantage. Sure, you may have been dealt a tougher hand in life. Make it happen.

This reminds me of a quote from the movie “Goodfellas:”“Now the guy's got Paulie as a partner. Any problems, he goes to Paulie. Trouble with the bill? He can go to Paulie. Trouble with the cops, deliveries, Tommy, he can call Paulie. But now the guy's gotta come up with Paulie's money every week, no matter what. Business bad? "Fuck you, pay me." Oh, you had a fire? "Fuck you, pay me." Place got hit by lightning, huh? "Fuck you, pay me.”

If you want something to happen, have the Will and Desire to do the necessary work and the attitude to go along with it. Excuses are nothing more than you showing the world you have given up. You get what you expect and you get what you deserve. Embrace that in your life and watch what happens.

I wouldnt be making progress if I maxed every session at this point though. It sucks because I miss being about to do that while still adding weight.

GOOD song

Yeah man, its cool and I am very happy. Weird time flies, a year felt so long away but here I am.

You want reassurances. It's a waste of your time and ours, largely because there are FAR too many variables at play that we couldn't possibly know in order to make an even semi-accurate prediction.

Stop worrying about trivial shit like that. Worry about making any progress, they worry about making the progress reasonably steady. THEN this shit will happen on its own.

First useful consideration to make is: What is your current programming?

Effort is putting energy into something in order to get the desired result (or at least maximize your chances of it).

Discipline is not wasting effort doing stupid shit just to feel good about expending the effort.

I can't stop fapping to cartoons

not your blog. kys, faggot.

fuck off kill yourself get off my blog

Had my weak moment on this cut and grabbed a mouthful of gummy bears, chewed them up and spat them out and gave myself a bad tummy ache

Oh no I've fallen in love again

plz no bully

I wanked right before heading to the gym.
Gotta say it really ruined my mood and energy.

Pete squats low bar for comp. He has lots of shit like hip and ankle impingement so hes doing fronts/high bar and such until comp gets closer.

who is bullying trappy-chan

When you brag to normies, do you include the bar when counting powerlifts or nah?

yo guys question, I did a 315lb atg 5 second pause squat today, with pretty good explosiveness out of the hole. How would yall rank that? if seen in the gym? or by fit's standard

I'll upload a vid next time I squat prob Tuesday

Majority of people would just think you got pinned

no offense but 405 for 4 highbar isnt a whole lot

unless you mean in kg but dont think so

>atg
aka dont know how to be tight

this

How much do you normally charge to design a program for a normie intermediate?

do the bridge and get your buddy to tell u @ what rpe u did.

Boom garagebro coaching 101.

>the bridge

if you put effort into it it will work

What do you mean I Don’t know how to be tight?

I’ve just been realizing my knees have taken a lot throughout my sports growing up so i was thinking by doing pauses i get to fatigue the legs with less strain on the knee (specifically patellar tendon)

this is autism

Bruh elaborate

Man some of you guys are just retarded, especially this last dude, this board used to be decent
Honestly I have a friend who only does pauses, just 5 singles at around 90% and 3x3 at 70/75/80%.

He’s made great strength gains (assuming thats all you want, your not getting swole like that) just kee at it, it’s all trial and error

Anything is possible if your form is shit enough

>design a programme

Theres plenty of basic shit out there that will get you gains

Also i have no idea what 'the bridge is' so dont listen to But i do believe that nothing beats eyes on training, no amount of videos filmed from every angle imaginable will allow someon to pick up on issues, it needs to be done with eyes on a sey by set rep by rep basis

For example, on friday i was doing triples and having corrections done mid set which improved the next rep
