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
Kayden Thomas
trashed knee user here; as requested here is squats this morning. trying with wider stance, sitting way back and less knee slide (but there’s still some, how the fuck do I stop it)

how can i improve? i'm also much weaker with this style; this was a quite tough 120*6 when i managed 170*3 with the problematic form recently
Jordan Rogers
And now a threadly, but non-spamming, non-trolling, obviously on-topic, clearly relevant, not copy/pasted (I change small stuff every time) 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.

LIST OF PLG APPROVED ACRONYMS/INITIALISMS (post, but don't spam, in every thread)
>GDE (Genetic Dead End)
Exercise low-responder. High injury rate, no sports background, weak willed.
>GAYS (Gay Aylien Skull)
Weak bone structure, mouth breather. Wastes time trying to be strong. Jewey faced and mad, but harmless.
>CUCC (Cuckold Uninjured Crying Canadian)
Identify as injured, without medical diagnosis. Trans-herniated. Purposely do self-destructive programs like PH3, Smolov, etc. They wanted an excuse to quit.
>VOLEM (Voluntary Evermediate)
Late beginner, early intermediate. Panics when the bar gets heavy. Program hops, works on technique, or sabotages recovery as an excuse to not progress.
>BONER (Bench Only No Effort Retard)
Wants to have the admiration and ego of someone who lifts, but doesn't want to get the squat or deadlift of someone who actually lifts. Copes with a combination of bench press and autism.
>CHODE (Communist Homo Of Dick Eating)
Angry, godless little postmodernists who secretly loathe strong, masculine men who won't fuck their boybutt. Some transition into ugly rat faced pedos, others defend said CHODES. Also known as PHAGs (Projecting Homo Ass Goblins)
>TCHAD (Tries Consistently Hard All Day)
The Isleys, MAs, and other guys with average genes who actually like competing and getting stronger.
>UFO (Under Fed Organism)
Adult human male weighing less than 200 lbs. Throw food at them until the problem is remedied.
>user (Anonymous Nard Obtusely Nattering)
A noodlebuilt little wuss of a human. Hobbies include LARPing as someone who actually lifts and not posting body/lifts. Can be safely disregarded in all matters.
>SUMO (SUbhuman MOron)
Too stupid and/or genetically deficient to just bend over and pick something up. Copes through a combination of clowning half reps and eating butt.
>POSER (POsitively Shitbrained Evermediate Roleplayer)
Talks about powerlifting like he's a powerlifter, yet has never done a powerlifting meet.
Zachary Barnes
Break with knees and hips at the same time, not hips first - should prevent knee slide
Shove your elbows forward - should prevent upper back collapse
Jackson Nelson
Particularly on the first rep, I can see you bending at the hips WAY before your knees break, causing you to look like a goodmorning at the start. Bend your knees as you bend your hips.
You also go deeper than necessary, which isn't a terrible problem to have, but stopping a little bit higher, and not so far past minimum depth, might give your knees a break.
All told, it's not that bad.
Evan Myers
5th rep looked the most natrual of the set, especially coming up out of the bottom. you do not need to go that low like. pulling the bar down into my back has helped me with keeping my back up and everything tight. i use that as a key instead of fr's elbows forward
Cooper Powell
Is Texas method a meme? I am an evermediate.
I recently did 160 kg for 10x3 at the end of smolov jr but I have never squatted more than 190 kg, which I did 3 years ago. Though around 3 months ago I did 185 kg for 3x2.
Juan Hall
Currently reading "Becoming a Supple Leopard" and I'm finding the discussion on torque extremely beneficial for my squat. Any other anons read this book?
Parker Gutierrez
>Is Texas method a meme?
No.
>I am an evermediate.
Then yes
Julian Scott

Blake Campbell
I've been playing a lot of OSRS recently, but I love CS (especially Source), GMod, Dynasty Warriors, anything by Edmund McMillen, Kingdom Hearts, Pokemon (especially Emerald), Killing Floor, Borderlands, and a fuckload more.

Daniel Hernandez
think those squats might be a little high my man
Ethan Myers
More like Tarantino lel
Adam Brooks
I'm well aware, I physically cannot go lower. Lots of sweat makes the suit much more grippy so it doesn't get seated how I would prefer. Plus gaining 5 lbs did not help.
Christopher Gutierrez
Someone should make /plg/ discord. If it exists already someone link me pls
Isaac Rogers
too fat and too retarded me thinks but honestly sounds like its time for a new suit. might help get you there like the katana did
Isaiah Cox
>/plg/ discord
It's been done. It's all animated child porn, gay sexting (unironic), and weird pseudo make believe friendships for homos.
Angel Torres
The super centurian is the best single-ply squat suit as far as I know. Grooving it isn't the problem, it honestly just feels like the stronger that I get the harder it becomes to hit depth and the more weight I need to hit depth. When my max was prior to me hitting 515 I could practically snipe depth with 405 and knee sleeves. Now that I'm much stronger I need more weight. I needed a new bench shirt because my old one was shit and impossible to groove properly. This isn't the case with my squat suit.
Kevin Ross
i should have specified one that fits better. bigger legs, core, more fat will eventually make your current one unusable. going to a larger one, or getting one tailored , both with some room to grow, might fix everything like the grove fix when you got your new shirt
Samuel Hughes
I mean it still fits fine imo, just means I can cheat up heavier weights because it's tighter :^). It took me absolutely forever to break in this suit, I am not looking forward to breaking in my inevitable next one in a couple years. And afaik, you want everything as tight as you can possibly handle it because then you can get more out of it.
Carter Peterson
>fat

>tripshit

>cuck suit
>bitch weight
>clown shoes
what a fucking MESS lmfao like i can't fucking breathe
Oliver Jackson
for sure, but if you cant hit depth then its a moot point. is your program more concerned with handling heavy weigh right now for your CNS?
Lucas Brooks
It's irrelevant because I use wraps, not sleeves. I just do heavy singles/doubles/triples and then back offs but the sleeve work is so I'm working lighter than I normally do, kek. Honestly, this tells me that I desperately need to improve my wrapping, if I'm comfortably handling 45 lbs under my wrapped and suited max.
Jaxson Murphy
i get backing off, i squat without belts and wraps for backing off as well (today actually). half squatting is probably not what your program calls for, but if it does, so be it i guess. thats probably about the right number for your wraps though. do you pre-stretching them? do that and pull it through with some pliers.
Cooper Ramirez
Most people, unless they're incredibly strong, don't hit depth that far from their max. Most equipped squats are actually quite close to depth. Basically, with squats, I just go as low as I can. If I hit depth, great. If not, as long as it's not a max attempt, no big deal. I don't pretension them, but I do pull through with pliers. 45 lbs away with a double and @8.5 though? That seems quite unsubstantial.
Asher Lee
thats a lie. everyone on our usapl college team hit depth down to the lowest weight class during practice. its was using the right gear for the right strength level.
try pretensions. itll get you a tighter wrap if you can get it right.
Ayden Walker
Idk, most people I've seen hit depth are quite close to their max, and weren't otherwise. I'm adapting, getting stronger, and hitting depth on my maxes, so I don't really see the problem. I'll definitely give pretensioning a go though, wrapping has always been my weak point. Gotta find some rubber bands to hold my wraps in place.
Daniel Lee
bad habits, and i also feel that there really isnt a point to doing sleeves if your not going to hit the muscles youre missing with wrapped squats. just my opinion though, most important thing is getting stronger.
Sebastian Thomas
Why are split squats so nasty bros? Did 3 sets of 12 reps per leg (76 kg barbell on back) and I legit had to lie down on floor because of painful quad pump.
Evan Smith
wrong.
Ian Butler
glorious
Robert Gutierrez
Y-yeah, still have paused squats for sets of 8 tomorrow.
>tfw hypertrophy cycle ain't easy thing
Ayden James
>90+ = maximum glute EMG
>80+ = maximum quadriceps EMG
wasn't this based on absolute loading, so all they showed was that deeper squats activate more quad and glute than half-squats with the same load? Because that doesn't prove anything.
Jonathan Gonzalez
t. dainty faggot with a shit bench. post body/lifts. prove me wrong (although everyone knows you won't).
Leo Howard
>tfw bench 4 plate for reps
Still get called out by bench poster.
Is there no end to my suffering? :(
Angel Scott
>all they showed was that deeper squats activate more quad and glute than half-squats with the same load
>that doesn't prove anything
reminder: these are the retards giving you advice on Jow Forums.
Kayden Young
t. struggles with 185lbs for a single. you aren't fooling anyone, bitch boy. post body/lifts. prove me wrong. you won't.
Sebastian Adams
You are wrong, I-I struggle with 135 lbs for a single.
Cameron Adams
this, squatting and deadlifting is too easy
Austin Perez
lmao, considering i almost went with 135lbs, i'll take your word for it. go lift weights or pipe down, faggot.
Adrian Murphy
I meant it doesn't prove anything other than that deep squats are harder and therefore require more muscle activation. If that's the case, you can just get the same effect by quarter squatting heavier weight.
Jonathan Hernandez
And here I was, just thinking that I hadn't seen much of Hank since he got legendarily BTFO'ed the other day. Did you at least go to the gym in in the interim, Hank?
Ryan Mitchell
Who are greatest benchers of all time in your opinion?
Joshua Barnes
What are your goals /plg/? Mine is to bench 200kg so like 440 or something in lbs :3
Isaac Stewart
Should I deadlift with rough upperback soreness?
I was thinking something like 2x5 and then 3x10 deficit
Landon Harris
>my little bitch is *once again* starving for his master to blast a fat shit in his mouth
yep, no surprise there. looks like the subhuman midget decided to stop raping the trailer park fuck-pig for a little while so he could get back to bitching and crying about how he got exposed for using lighter weights to fraud his limp dick squat LMFAO.
in case anyone was wondering, here's a picture of my little bitch admitting why he always shits his pants about bench press/why he's obsessed with master.
Christopher Roberts
>tfw can squat 5pl8
>tfw can't bench 1pl8
O-Okay

ANSWER
Henry Lee
post lifts. theres no end until theres proof. i hate to say it becauseits pretty painful, but ill have to agree with hank till you do
Benjamin Edwards
no
Parker Young
I really wanna give single ply a go some day.
Paused Squat 6x2 @ 175kg
Bench 6x4 @ 112kg
Reverse Hypers 2x20
Shrugs 2x20
Squats felt easy today so I decided to pause them, we'll see how 6x4 goes on Saturday.
Jacob Ramirez
I was just memeing, but this bench poster/Hank has sold his mind to madness. I pray that he will stop doing copypastas and engage in real life.
Anthony Walker
The mentioned squats btw
Ahh. Dont meme me though, I was looking foward to another bench bro over 4 plates. Hank has completely sold his mind. Figgy lives there rent free.
Kayden Myers
hes a weak twink who benches 100kg runs sheiko and doesnt get stronger
he wont stop posting until he gets stronger
Isaac Edwards
I only bench 115 kg at 77 kg, meanwhile deadlift is 230 kg. :( Sorry for my benchletism.
I remember you, very strong user, mirin those lifts.
I see.
Thomas Nelson
>I only bench 115 kg at 77 kg, meanwhile deadlift is 230 kg. :( Sorry for my benchletism.
>77kg
theres your problem
Caleb Reyes
entirely too obvious with that one, incel.
Leo Watson
Yep I know, trying to slowly bulk my way to 83-85 kg with abs at 178 cm. Like twinklex
Eli Young
>incel.
Seems that I struck a nerve, lmaooo
Zachary Watson
this is a lie. he wont get stronger till he actually follows the advice given in the last few seconds of
youtube.com
id recommend fast bulk, but to each their own
Josiah Gomez
Figgy admiring the dedication you go through to disprove this Hank.
Yeah, I like being leaner, feel more happy that way, still eat 3000+ calories.
Christian Diaz
>faggot incel dodges the claim
very telling lmao.
Gabriel Garcia
>let a random Jow Forums poster piss you off enough to make a video
>said video involves filming a couple of plates, then taking the camera off them and stepping onto a scale
>the redneck retard proceeds to shit his pants about someone that nobody can prove exists
>fails to disprove anything
>still an exposed fraud
>mfw
all of these idiots letting a random shit poster piss them off so much are pure cringe lol. in b4 the usual deflections/npc responses while completely failing to address my claims.
Zachary Ortiz
>can prove exist
>exposed fraud
You out yourself everytime Hank.
Sebastian Mitchell
how can i out myself as someone who 1) i'm not and 2) no one has proven exists and posts in these threads?
Brayden Jones
Prove that you don't exist. :^)
Leo Moore
that's not what i'm asking about, moron. backtrack, reread and try to keep up.
Isaiah Powell
Please admit that you are Hank even if you aren't just to satisfy Figgy and stop constant arguing. :)
Jayden Lewis
you use the same writing style and verbiage even down to the 1)....2)....
>cant even prove he exists
Mason Parker
Evan Sanders
>i can tell when one anonymous poster is another anonymous poster
no, you can't. are you going to even try to address my questions or are you just some shitty troll who just wants attention?

I reckon Taleb said something he doesn't like. Recently Taleb has received a lot of hate because he demolished Jordan Peterson in a debate, and the Peterson drones are still butthurt about it.

Taleb is stupid but Peterson is stupider. He didn't say any one particular thing that I didn't like, just about everything he says is varying degrees of dumb.

Given that my gym has all the equipment, is it a good idea to do chest strength training with dumbbells instead of a barbell? Y/N? Why?
I'm talking about 3x5 and 5x5
