I swear 90% of /plg/ right now is some fag trying to force memes.

so when bracing i should just push my abs out hard during the entire rep?

cry about it faggot lmao

Nice blog

You mean sean?

Mogged myself by accident.

>be me
>usually wear glasses
>usually have trimmed short natural facial hair
>be today
>go to gym completely shaved first time in years and contact lens, think nothing of it
>everyone complementing me

How the fuck do I gain "endurance" on my legs, especially the quads?
they are my limiting factor in the deadlift, and I feel them too fucking much in the bench aswell I end up sore as fuck
on SS if you are wondering

I think its some random newfag

Ignore him, he is genuinely mentally ill. I have him filtered and never see his posts tho.

The worst part is that it isn't even sean, there is at least 3 consistent user shitposters.

I know, and they're here daily, that's the worst part
Who the fuck goes on plg every day?

Might be trappy you know

;3

Currently taking a fat dump and I have been thinkgen about training.

I think I might do Texas method but with way more volume on VD cause I just can't progress with 5x5 at this stage.

Only thing is, I don't know if a single top set of 5 is really enough to drive progress and I'm worried

that much of a performance drop shouldn't be happening

Do half texas
Been doing this for a while and it works pretty good

w1d1 5x5 @ 90%
w1d3 2x5 @ 70%
w1d5 3x5 @ 95%
w2d1 5x5 @ 90%
w2d3 2x5 @ 70%
w2d5 1x5 new 5RM

How much bending, is too much bending, when doing deadlifts?
I'm doing LP, adding 5 kg/session and have reached 170 kg for 5. When I did this I had a friend with me to the gym and he said that my form weren't "clean". Not sure how to take it since he's a form freak and at the same session he reached a PR of 120 kg for 1 after having lifted for 4 years on/off.
So when deadlifting, should my back be completely straight or is a slight bend okay?

>a single top set of 5 is really enough to drive progress
Volume day drives the progress in TM, intensity day is really just a test.

>Not sure how to take it since he's a form freak and at the same session he reached a PR of 120 kg for 1 after having lifted for 4 years on/off.
ignore anything he says

U sure?

U dumb?

He also says that I have a nice and thicc squat booty. Should I ignore this too?

Unless he is an 80 years old granny, ignore anything he says.

Well I know he's shit. Trying to coach him a bit actually.
Regardless he still have a better view of my back than I do. Guess I'll just have him video me next time so I can see for myself

I have tingling in my right glute when i squat it is probably sciatica how do I treat this what do i do? I was on the road to a 500 squat :(

I think you'll find you're parroting nonsense and there's a lot more to it

yeah just take vid from the side

there's a range of spine position between wormchad and instagram thot, as long as it's close to neutral you are probably fine

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.

Ok bud

Thanks my dude. That's what I were after. Just had to make sure that we're not talking a zero tolerance on rounding

Nice blog faggot

No u

Here's an idea: ditch the volume day. Just do intensity day every day.

So do Starting strength?

Fucking idiot

Ha ha good weblog haha

It's ending strength, brainlet.

Don't try and make jokes after you got BTFO

Just stretch out the program to 3 week progression.

Week 1 volume
Week 2 lighter volume
Week 3 intensity

Start over.

Can't stand ignorant people like you

I mean if you really think intensity day is what's driving the progress, why not just do intensity day all the time? Why even do volume day in the first place?

This , ID's purpose is to determine is VD's volume dose is sufficient

uhhhhm hello???

Both volume and intensity develop strength, autist.

Stop looking for a fight, grow the fuck up

I don't believe the single top set of 5 is to "test your might for a moment.
You're erected some strawman about me being anti volume, which is the polar opposite stance I've taken from the beginning.

All I do is high volume, as george leeman said, easiest way to get stronger is to get bigger.
So I was off put by a single top set of 5.

Instead you annoying faggots have tried to fight me over some argument I never made.
As usual. That's all you retards do here, bicker and argue and create drama.

Grow the fuck up

If we're still talking about TM, the volume day develops the strength and the intensity day displays the strength.

But I'm sure you're just being intentionally daft at this point, so here's your (You).

>Stop looking for a fight
In any book about TM that you will read what I said is written

>Argument you never made
>Said you weren't sure that 1x5 was enough to drive progress
>Hurr Durr everyone else is retarded
Fuck off

Grow the fuck up and stop strawmanning me once again

None of what you said, I said

>Only thing is, I don't know if a single top set of 5 is really enough to drive progress and I'm worried
Fuck off retard, get out of my thread

>you're just being intentionally daft
No?

I lift heavy, and for volume.

>I don't believe the single top set of 5 is to "test your might for a moment.
That's the purpose of intensity day regardless of what your belief is.

Repeating the same strawman doesn't make it true you fat fuck
Now grow the fuck up

>Exact quote is a strawman

Quality online diary

Nice, cheers, epic

>phoneposting
>shit theme
Eww

Phone posting is superior

This.

I basically get paid to shitpost and make memes at work.

You could have given a valid reason, for example "I'm in bed wrapped in comfy blankets" or , but no you had to go and be a fucking retard faggot.

That theme is so dull imo. And my reason can be applied for any situation. At work? Phone posting is superior. In bed? Ditto. Etc. Etc.

i'm never taking a break from lifting again
i just returned after 2 months because i sprained my ankle... because the fucking state left some hole in sidewalk and it was dark
i loved lifting now it's just feels like a chore, but this feeling will go away in a week or something luckily
next time i'm injured i'll just skip training the rekt body part

This is optimal.

Phoneposting may be the better (I can shitpost in bed on my laptop but it wouldn't be comfy) or the only (user doesn't want to get fired) choice in some situations, but that doesn't make it inherently superior.

>the fucking state left some hole in sidewalk and it was dark
Fucking commie milleniels.

PLZ RESPOND

but I hate commies user, I always vote right
however, it can't be helped, if i am already in the situation where I was born into a country with socialism I should at least expect the government to do their job instead of stealing our money in the form of taxes, no?

>i sprained my ankle because of the state
just imagining what could've lead user to this reasoning

>nobody believes me
>if i told you i was in a mental hospital would you believe me
>wait no thats a bad example

>go out for a night time jog

>in one part of the new park the lights were out because the light bulbs weren't changed
>because those responsible for changing them (paid by the state) didn't do their job

>I stepped into it because i didn't see nor know it was there
>sprained ankle
>because the people (paid by the state) whose jobs would be to fill that hole weren't doing their job
yeah right this is totally my fault, I shouldn't have the liberty to go running on new tracks, I should carry spare light bulbs and track repairing equipment and materials on me, forget working and earning money to sustain myself (and pay my taxes)
totally reasonable expectations

Opinions on 4 day texas method? I don't like the complicateds. 3 day is kinda boring and is killing my lowback somewhat. I'm taking a deload week just to recover. I figure maybe if I separate things will get easier. I don't have MAJOR form issues but after a while my lower back takes a beating no matter what I do. I could switch to highbar but meh.

thats tight

What is the natural progression after you run out of heavy dumbbells on goblet squat? Ours only goes to 45kg. Zombie squat? Belt squat?

Anyone familiar with the calgary barbell 16week program?
want to run a RPE/RTS type training program but the actual RTS excel sheet is way over my head coming from 531

why keep overloading a goblet squat? just let it be meme prehab work, 45kg sounds like plenty for that

Squats and front squats are still uncomfortable for lower back but goblet is fine

THEN DO PREHS Aiuefbui24bfube3f dumbo

while I agree, >grown men is the wrong term on a board (and let's face it, site) filled to the brim with people 16-24 kek

also TT: binch day of deload week so whatever I did w1d2 of this block for only 2 sets each at 25 to 30% less weight (cba listing all dat)

can you guys help me out with a form check/general advice (im too inept to turn a mov into a webm) and do you guys think i have anterior pelvic tilt ?

trying to linearly progress up to 405x5 again after a two month break, going up 10 lbs a session starting at 250 lbs. my all-time PB was 405x7 for an AMRAP, but it was with >bumper plates. i have felt some slight lower back and hip tightness/pain after my last two sessions as well if anyone could tell me what that could possibly be an indicator of ??

thanks and god bless in advance

Curls if I'm not bored
Lately I find any type of rowing to feel fucking boring. On sunday I did 90 total reps of pullups/chinups/neutral grip chins though so it's not like I neglect my back.

Any user had success with 12 week Barbell medicine template? Gonna start it after I finish current Candito program.

If I’m a novice who has a front squat with pretty good technique and decent tightness etc, can I just LP with this?

No matter how much I try backsquats, they’re just fucked up regardless of what I do, I feel like I’m such a GDE that I need a real coach rather than trying to teach myself which isn’t an option at the moment but will be in future.

Idk if I should keep doing fronts or just try to throw myself at back squat and make no progress.

hitting sumo pr's every week. this shit is really cheating isnt it.

Maybe post a video of what your backsquat looks like or no one can even begin to help you

forgot to add video
