What is Joseph Pena's life expectancy?

60 or something probally

Exactly one lifetime long. Do you even understand what life expectancy means?

Whats your 5rm?

You are a very dumb man.
>Life expectancy, often abbreviated to LEB (for Life expectancy at birth), is a statistical measure of the average time an organism is expected to live, based on the year of its birth, its current age and other demographic factors including gender.

I squat high bar, bench close grip, and pull conventional (beltless) at meets. You mad?

>beltless
Okay mentally handicapped twink

It's a population average, you literally cannot calculate it for an individual.

Smolov

EUbros where do I buy a good belt from?

So what's your best meet result?

The figure you calculate by averaging a sample's lifetimes is not the life expectancy, it is the average. The life expectancy refers to the predicted length of time the person who matches the sample demographically is expected to live.

Don't correct people when you don't know what the fuck you're on mate.

i dont care as long as its on my face

You're still wrong. You can get an average life expectancy of a person in Pena's demographics, but it's still an average of that combination of factors. If that's what you want, then fuck off and calculate it yourself from data tables.

1485@210

Are you just not interested in being more efficient, or have you actually tried low bar/wide grip/etc and don't like them? Especially competing at 210 instead of taking a fat shit to hit 93kg is a bit of a waste if you're going to go out and try and compete

I just have no desire to compete "optimally"

Why pay a bunch of money and travel to compete at all then? You can do all of the lifts in your gym with someone calling commands for you if you aren't interested in being competitive. No offense, I'm just curious

>/plg/: "your genetics aren't garbage"
>me: "watch this, nerd" *hurts my triceps just hanging from a bar*
Guess I'll ride my bike some more this week huh

If my elbow gets too distracted then my triceps hurt too, shit happens

I don't travel more than a state for any competition. I mostly do it to hang out with friends.

I still try hard, but I have no desire to make it look like that I am trying hard

Fair enough man, good stuff

6ft, 90kg.

Bench 105kg,
Squat 160kg,
Deadlift 225kg

Advice?

Eat at a surplus, sleep 8 hours at a minimum, do a program that entails progressive overload that you enjoy and that you respond well to. All xF

You should keep trying super hard, your numbers are great

Running "Destroy the Opposition" for the squat program and it's fun so I'll keep at it. Cheers

Here is a free 10 week program enjoy

Dude just magically know how many reps you have in the tank and don't do the last 2 bro xD

>Magic
When you've been lifting for longer than a month you'll have some understanding of how many reps you have left if you aren't extremely submax

well anons, westside spacing for both safeties and j cups? also how wide should i worry about the pad being and height off the ground?

Get a fat pad from rogue.

Finally got back into the gym after two weeks of work getting in the way. Felt good, but damn am I weak right now. Hungry, tired, dehydrated. Blech.

And now a threadly, but non-spamming, non-trolling, obviously on-topic reminder for you unlifting user CHODEs to post body/lifts and get a trip. But only if you have at least one of
>A squat greater than 2.5x bodyweight AND 500 lbs
>A CONVENTIONAL deadlift greater than 2.5x bodyweight AND 500 lbs
>A bench press greater than 1.5x bodyweight AND 300 lbs
>A Standing The Press(ᵗᵐ) greater than 1x bodyweight AND 200 lbs
>A body fit won't think looks like shit (good fucking luck)

Otherwise, stop LARPing, stop giving "advice" like you have half a clue what you're talking about, stop posting altogether, bring your ass to the gym, and try harder.

Is there a common thread?

Hafthor Bjornsson is like 190kg and 20% bodyfat, with a 460kg+ deadlift and like whatever the fuck all, and can't do a single pullup.

Why does pullup mog him so hard

>and can't do a single pullup.
he can do like 5

post body and lifts weakboy

Those weren't pullups user

vid:youtube.com/watch?v=lTdnL_qbn_U

theres not a single person at that weight who can do normal pullups

its not something he trains

Is progression by lowering rest duration a meme?
I fucked up today. Went too late to the gym and I was forced to do sets with 1 minute rest at best at 60-75% of 1RM and I only got two before the gym closed. Could this have been beneficial? (I don't really mind, just wondering)

I’ll bet it’s good for endurance gains, but not so much strength gains

Yeah, I was trying to catch my breath after and my shoulders hurt. Felt like I'd went for a run.

Bored at work today and was looking at 13mm belts and better flat shoes, anyone notice much of a difference switching from a 10mm and chucks? Friend says 13mm for squats because it's stiffer but I don't know if I care enough to buy a new belt

At your level, it's worth it.

I'm rehabbing my hip by front squatting, will add 5kg every session

I feel happ
No pain at all

If it had a limit on how far it could move forward? Those designs look like they could completely pitch forward, I was going to put some steel plate on either side of the uprights, drill holes and put a bolt through so it would hit at the set 'front' position. See shitty attached pic. Normal handoff, red woukd be plate and dots would be positions to put bolts in. This would then contact the piece of metal beneath it. Does it make much difference benching? Like would I be fine with just a better j cup height and I'm going overkill now?

The ones in my gym only go as far forward as a human handing off (really not very far), it's more so that any movement when you're trying to set up can be annoying, maybe just have an option to not move at all if you have another person available to hand off. Personally I avoid the dedicated benches and set up in a squat rack so I don't have to deal with it
I mean, I also see plenty of heavy lifters in chucks and anecdotally hear about people in 10mm belts, but there's some cheap used gear on Facebook swap groups so maybe I'll get something and see if it's worth it

>mfw i see these little faggots shitting their pants THIS hard because being reminded of their shit bench causes them to have a complete meltdown

Attached: 1546910346716.png (280x261, 77K)

So you'd say not worth the hassle, just stick with a normal non-moving bench? I lift alone at home so was looking into it but it's a fair bit more complicated and it's be a shame to not like it.

It depends on your build. 13 mm won't be a direct upgrade if you are built like a twink shit. Switching to something like wrestling shoes though, I can't imagine that would be anything but a direct upgrade, but with the baby weights I've been squatting equipped, I've had no problems with them.

I guess it comes down to how your bench set-up is, which only you can decide. Personally I think I'd skip it and just set the arms low enough that I can comfortably unrack it normally

I mean even equipped, I haven't had too many problems self unracking with Westside spacing and Jap unrack.

Benched on a piece of shit for a year or two were I actually have to use my front delts to unrack then try and set up. Sweet, I think I'll be lazy and if I need to retrospectively change it then I can cut and trim some parts I think.

Sweet. One of you's suggested getting the Rogue fat pad. Not a bad idea - I was thinking of DIYing but a company rep fitness sell replacement bench tops that look pretty decent for $30. Now to see if theyhave a UK distributor.

Question about 4-day Texas Method.

For someone just coming off of SS which template would be better?

V. deadlift V. press I. deadlift I.press

or

Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday
I. squat I. bench I. deadlift I.press
V. deadlift V. press V.squat V.bench

Goals: strenght and hypertrophy (duh)

>4-day Texas Method.

Attached: 1557499102965.jpg (1242x665, 207K)

i do the latter, but i've also switched my deadlift intensity day for doing heavy singles and adding reps most weeks

trying to bust out a new 5 post squat volume might be shite

then again doing deadlift volume post squat volume is also shite

def would recommend doing I / V for bench and press though
