At first I was mad but your picture was funny enough that I'll let it slide
that picture made me laugh. Good meme, lad. :-)
Hate meg squats hope she dieded
Do Renaissance Periodization have any novice programs? All their programs seem to be catered to intermediates
Whhhhyyyyyy would a beginner need a RP program?
To get swole as fuck of course
I was waiting for her quads to tear off there. She's such an annoying twat.
You just need to put weight on the bar for a couple months until you cant. Then you might have enough strength to begin reaping hypertrophy benefits

There's a novice/intermediate option in the experience level drop down box.
i'm way stronger with a close grip (like almost touching smooth) than max legal, my chest is relatively more developed than my triceps and i have really long arms
so idk about that maybe my technique just sucks for max legal
Whichever one you train primarily will be strongest.
I've been a long term close grip bincher, but admittedly I know my truly strongest grip is about mid-range, double clavicle length and over time my grip has opened up a little just progressively.
Only people who are truly strongest close grip are those who don't train it any other way
see that's the thing, i trained exclusively max legal for a year and a half or so and then my cg was still immediately stronger with no practice
Hello my strong strong friends.
gallon of milk a day?
sir, do you understand what lactose intolerance means?
I used to be that way. In my case, the problem was lack of tightness when benching max legal.
Yer prolly not a big enough lad for max, try double clavicle length grip. It requires a measuring tape lol.
i'm 6'4"
Yeah, you're a bit on the smaller side.
Yeah I literally just did ramping sets when I first started lifting. I would have a 4x8, 5x5, and 8x3 day. Once linear progression started slowing down I got into nuckols and juggernaut.
I'm the same. I find it much easier to use max grip for reps(>5) and close grip for singles, doubles, and triples. It's probably due to instability (i.e. weak back and core) in my case though.
measured
that would put me at ~92cm for grip
>tfw closing in on greenman
2 months of strength training but I’m starting to stall on deads. Might have to stop squatting and deadlifting same day.
Going to try some heavy singles this weekend to gauge where I’m at.
Shame the marks are 11 cm too narrow
i couldn't bench like that anyway, my shoulders would implode
You're measuring wrong dipshit.
Pretty sure it's supposed to be 1.5x clavicle length, not 2x, too
Bigger guys tend to go narrower, at least enhanced ones do. Wenning, strickland, hoornstra spring to mind. Even Kirill is narrow for his build, hes so fucking wide that hes on the rings but its not wide wide grip wise.
1.5 seems too small desu
i'm not, i'm that much bigger than you
no, its from the boney part of each clavicle then double that.
That's what I'm talking about when I refer to double clavicle.
Most people who say they're doing a close grip are usually doing closer to a standard grip than they really think anyway.
I'm more than well aware of the points you made, I watch this sport too pebble head
>curling your wrists at the end of the bench
Nice
Jen Thompson and >T-nation both say 1.5x biacromial width
Well here she says otherwise?
You're meant to measure the distance between your acromial processes.
Does anyone have that picture of every plg tripfags face in a the carriage of the sheiko train and trappy is conducting?
I want to have a good laugh and cringe haha
I was mistaken then, whoops.
Yeah, you were punk, now drop down on your knees and beg for my forgiveness and I might spare your life tonight at 3:47am.
Found out that my right elbow dropped a bit on the JM Press. This only happens if I try to force the ROM though. Basically fixed with an extra set where I just did what Blakely himself tells you to do.
>bigman will never be this good
only 1 week playing lul
yes i know
that's a little over 18 inches for me, like i said i'm 6'4"
>Bringing my hopes up to think it is panzer
That is cruel
this desu
hope panzer isn't dead
He isn't, I've talked with him recently. He's not injured either.
Sup guys, I posted a squat single about a month ago and was told by a few that I was high. Been trying to work on slowly sinking it since then, here's a hard-ish last set of the day from today. Can y'all tell me if depth is acceptable, and just anything else you'd recommend working on.
Cheers as always lads.
Is he "retired"
Depth is borderline/maybe a tad high. Focus on sitting between your legs and breaking with your knees and hips at the same time. You're sitting into your knees a lot because you initiate with your hips.
Nope, he's still lifting
Also really focus on shoving your knees out to the side, that should get you the last little bit for depth
Is he benching 3pl8 yet?
No idea, extremely unlikely though. I'll ask him next time we talk.
he's an oly memer take a wild guess
I remember his max being around 120kg, not sure. Complete GDE t b h
I want to hatefuck her face in a nonsexual context
>i guess it's just lack of pump because i started doing lateral raises for shit and giggles and my shoulders blew up
Are you saying that the pump you got from lateral raises got them bigger? Is is not the added volume that induced hypertrophy?
>he's still lifting
Any progress?
No idea, didn't talk about it.
I'm going to add "no incel sexual abuse fantasies" to the OP.
Yikes. That means hes weak AF, as usual.
Anyone know any good free PC games that don't require steam or origin?
Also does anyone wanna play fortnite rn?
I'm sure gog has some free stuff
Thanks never heard of gog b4
It's all drm free iirc
went to a job fair representing engineers for my work today. Pretty good but I can't help but feel that I have missed out on all the cute girls. Like I was just talking and flirting to them all day and it was quite nice.
Still lifting instead of the bar tonight. Do you anons regret this or what keeps you sane?
Lmao. This is every day for me desu. Life is pain.
Really need to figure out self wrapping. Feels like I'm missing out in a couple of revs. Anyone have any tips?
youtu.be
Try breaking at the hips as well to initiate the squat.
wtf is wrong with your glutes?
They're being squished to death by the suit
just pirate the games fag
>pirate the games fag
You have to be 18 to post here.
>I'm not an incel, haven't been since age 16
>I explicitly said nonsexual context
>I literally just want her to choke on my dick as a show of dominance and to get her to shut up
where is your god now
I'm a virgin pls don't talk about sex in my presence ty
tell my panzy to cOME BACK RIGHT NOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
theres a powerlifter at my gym and hes cool, but all the talking is really fucking with my session timing. what do?
ask him to drill your hole and wink (it's code for "teach me proper squat form)
Oh no it isn't me is it?
I already have proper squat form tho
idk is it?
no you don't
I squat more than you kiddo
no you don't
Are you ginger?
I want him to come back too :(
Shit, you guys just gave me the opposite advice lmao.
no
okay sean
youre not truly in pain as you can still talk to him in the memehouse
why the fuck would anyone want that whiny little cunt back?
I think he meant knees, because you're already breaking at the hips, so you can't do them as well
He's not in the treehouse, I have him added on Snapchat. He doesn't talk to anyone on discord anymore and he doesn't have a fb afaik.
>you will never get sexy snaps from panzy
:(
I do not want him to come back
t. user that dislikes his cringy posting personality
i want him back so i can buy the fuck out of him and make him leave again
>buy
bully
phoneposting strikes again
>see lots of movies where people get tortured and shit
>think to myself yeah I could withstand that pain I'd make a bad ass special forces agent
>few hours ago
>go to jump and lay on the couch
>slam my foot against the wooden coffee table
>literally slam the hard top of my foot against the hard wood at bone shattering speeds
>most pain I've been in ever in my whole life ever and I've split my head open when jumping down the stairs lol
>roll around in agony and realise I'm bad with pain
My foot hurts ;_;
Nice blog
why do you say that? It wasn't
nice meta-blog
nice blog XD
ate an 18" pepperoni pizza last night bois ready to fukkin PR remember to eat big!
Asda do the best store bought pizza I've ever had when dipped in the yoghurt herb sauce they do too
Legit had it three days in a row once cause it tested so fucking good.
Its the BBQ base, chicken and ham one they do, holy fuck do they melt so much meat onto that thing. Its fucking orgasmic for a store bought pizza.
for a first pair or shoes, do you recommend the powerlifts?
I have shit mobility and my program has front squats, the raised heel will help me a lot, but there are cheap shoes with foam instead of hard plastic
i squat 2plates so idk
