Ehh why is it so hard to reach proper depth in the squat when I do it heavy like 90%+

Because you're a pusst

u got a video senpai?

Pussy

Cock Sycks

sounds like your quads are your limiting factor. do belt squats or hibar or something

You're gay. If you would rather fuck a man in the ass than have sex with a muscular woman, then you're gay

Which is fine. Lots of people choose to be gay

>quads are your limiting factor
Unless he is nearing his potential, probably not

Why is my Z-press as strong/stronger than my standard OHP? What's my weak point?

Quads are going to be, more likely than not, the limiting factor for squats, assuming good form

Have a video of both? My guess is that you're not good at bracing your lower body

Or your walk out is shit

94kg just eating right and moving without training at all. Tomorrow first training but still want to go as low as 88kg

>Quads are going to be, more likely than not, the limiting factor for squats
When nearing your potential, maybe. The average lifter is not going to have one muscle group holding them back from progression if they are using a proper program

Why

I disagree wholeheartedly, especially given that not everyone responds to compounds in the same way and people have different biomechanical weaknesses to overcome depending on build. For example, I need a fuckload of additional quad work because squats don't do enough for them. If what you said were true, then only advanced programming would have accessories and variants, and that is very obviously not the case.

I'm currently about the same, ~95 cutting to ~88, keep trying to be autistic about calories but then unexpected weekend travel makes it hard

But you are also half a metre shorter than Yakob so what in the fuck

>I disagree wholeheartedly
That's fine. Most lifters can deload 10% and make another run at progression and break through.

If you're always grinding at the edge of your potential, you're always going to find a weak link, doesn't mean that it needs specific attention.

As for accessories and variations, they're typically most useful for adding volume without the wear and tear of the competition lifts.

In your case, you're basically a situationally advanced lifter, so you may damn well need to hammer your quads to make up for whatever retarded shit you got going on from the waist down

Time off gave me to see that I got to autistic about weights and stopped carry about overall health, looks and become more of gymrat
I want to have fun for now

>Most useful for adding volume without wear and tear of comp lifts
And because not every muscle group is hit equally within a movement, much less between people

>not every muscle group is hit equally within a movement
If you are performing the movements through their longest effective range of motion, I disagree.

hes also way stronger and way muscular, and getting over 15% is just stupid for natty that is super average at lifting, height would demand me to become fat fuck thanks no

dykes don't use bras; imagine those tits dancing around when she runs

>Getting over 15% is just stupid
Hehe woops

If you're doing the movement how you would do it in competition, you aren't going to take it through the longest effective range of motion. Not only this, but if your limb lengths are not equal (ie humerus to forearm or shins to femurs), then there's no way that you're going to experience the same stress for each muscle group.

If you aren't using the longest effective range of motion, you're not strength training. You are in meet preparation.

Doing a comp movement is a skill, and taking extended periods of time off of the comp movement, unless you have no plans to compete in the foreseeable future, is a horrible idea

>training strength non-specifically
>measure strength on a scale of 1-10
>tell isley to fuck off
rude

I'll get a vid Saturday.

Those biceps are pathetic

Somehow I'd rather have her (despite being a butterface dyke that didn't even bother to shave her pube) that that pissing powerlifting record holder

It sounds like you are very set in your ways in terms of training philosophy. How's that working out for you?

Going pretty well actually. Getting stronger every time I test

so you're cutting to my current bf and im cutting to be cute twink

She looks like short-haired Scarlett Johannson if she didn't lob her boobs off

If I actually lost 15-20lbs of pure fat and nothing else I'd be at 13.5% bf lmao. Of course this is based on DEXA which tends to overestimate bf% a little

I just want to get really lean it will also only help If I will want to bulk later

>and getting over 15% is just stupid for natty that is super average at lifting
Aren't you stronger at 20% ?

Then you're not actually hitting the weight

I'm 6'3" 88kg, welcome to twinkdom brother

above 12-15% fat (below which you're going to be impacting organ function or whatever), it doesn't really help you do anything unless your gut physically hits your legs or reduces bench rom.
Otherwise its just shitting up your bloodstream with NEFAs and producing estrogen

welkom
you have more mass therfore you can move more weight and leverages change so yes the more you weight the more total strength you have if your point is to be just as strong as possible than bulk to 200kg

Attached: 1451394310447742792.jpg (850x760, 43K)

and specifically, if you ever watch national-level PL meets you can basically predict placements by ranking people by BF% in their weight class (assuming they are near the top)

but dont you have more muscle when your bodyfat is higher?

Exactly! brb bulking to 200kg

Isnt that 12% a tad to high to impact organ function? More like 10%? Most of athlethes in sports not related to strength are 10-11%
also I like the waist measurment stuff to determine cut or not

>and specifically, if you ever watch national-level PL meets you can basically predict placements by ranking people by BF% in their weight class (assuming they are near the top)
fattest do the best?

Assuming that at top level powerlifting people are similiar heights in their weight classes you can just guess that jacked 120kg guy will be stronger than 120kg fat slob

makes sense

Sasha Banks is such a horse faced botchmachine I can't fucking stand it.

>I'm talking about not focusing on things that aren't outside of your control.

You mean ARE outside your control, right? I agree you shouldn't DWELL on that stuff, but you do need to acknowledge and be aware of it in order to best deal with it.

>unless I misspoke, I wasn't talking about ignoring problems. (entirely possible i did).
In the post that started this chain, you said
>Even if that thing is actually, unironically getting in my way I can't allow myself to ever think that.
This immediately followed a line about not letting something be an "excuse" for why you can't do something, which was probably closer to your intended message. Not to just quit trying over a minor obstacle that is realistically manageable.

And now for a threadly, but non-spamming, clearly relevant, specifically on topic, greatly informative, not copy/pasted (I tweak syntax every iteration), 100% sincere and not trolling, high quality, and otherwise rule abiding reminder for you unlifting user CHODEs to post body/lifts and get a trip. This is the only way anyone will believe anything you have to say about anything. And only if you demonstrate at least one of the following:
>A squat in excess of both 2.5 times bodyweight AND 500 lbs
>A deadlift in excess of both 2.5 time bodyweight AND 500 lbs
>A bench press in excess of both 1.5 times bodyweight AND 300 lbs
>A The Press in excess of both body weight AND 100 kg
>A body that Jow Forums won't roundly criticize (good fucking luck)
If you can't manage at least one of these, shut the fuck up, go to the gym, try harder.

Thank you.

do the upper angle stays the same as you push the floor during the deathlift?
Like the upper body stays the same and as soon as you reach your knees you push your glutes in?
I tend to squat the bar and put my torso upright as soon as I pull, but keeping the torso the same as I push the floor till knee feels weird

sorry im just HORNY AND LONELy

Attached: cb6.jpg (746x541, 45K)

The first quarter of the rom should be your knee extending like in a squat, after that its mainly hip extension

same but 84 kg
and i still feel fat

Should I ignore ohp or do it just as a fun memelift and focus mainly on bench if I want to get a strong bench?

im 6' 166lbs and I still have a chunk of fat everywhere

No. Do your OHP.

OHP as assistance lift m8

brace harder, your pelvis will allow more range of motion jf your core will be more stacked

If your bench is under 300 pounds, keep overhead pressing. Once you start clearing three plates and have a meet coming up, then you can ditch the Press

This is the new Meme™ I am going to run to make my bench grow itself. It features such nice things as
>bench 4x week
>press 2x week (but basically counts for 1), rip my shit
>incline bench (huh?)
>weighed dips (huh?????)
>high volume light back stuff 5x week, to unfuck my shit. The progression on deadlifts I'm not sure about, I'll try it and see what happens maybe modify while running the thing if need be. Faster or slower. I've been doing something similar now for a while and it's working great so it's ok.
>squats 0x week yolo (unfucking my back first then I'll squat)
>some sort of abs thing every day, didn't even bother writing it
>progression by increasing volume on main lifts, and increasing intensity on variations
>programmed change in reps and percentage halfway through bench main sets to make it a bit easier but more volume which is absolutely genious

Unironic advice is appreciated. Foot homo (Hank) calling me a volem isn't.

legit close to transcribing sheiko's 4x week bench only program, i'll tag you in when i get it finished

Why is Alex's gf the OP pic?

3/1/0 bench seems too high intensity wise. Also looks like an unreasonably high amount of bench volume. Idk if my elbows would stay intact with that much benching, excluding ohp.

I didn't mean to say that like 12 was the cutoff or something, you're right, I just use cuckolds range but I could have said 10

>don't you have more muscle when your bodyfat is higher
like yakob said, 100kg at 10% bf is 90kg water/bone/muscle, 100kg at 20% bf is 80kg water/bone/muscle, guy with less muscle is probably weaker assuming he also trains as much as the other guy. It's somewhat counter-intuitive since we think about a single person having more muscle if they're at higher bodyweight and some extra fat, but this is two people in the same weight class

that guy has nice tits

good one

If you're not used to using your posterior chain, deadlifts feel really weird. Worst part is for people that struggle with it, doing it right and doing it wrong feel equally as weird.

One thing I would suggest, don't think push. It's not really a push. It's a pull. Seems like a silly thing but I think it's important for visualization.

From the very bottom just off the floor, all the way to the tippity top, your glutes and hamstrings are doing things. If you watch a good dealifter load, think of it like this; There is a rubber band attached from the top of their lower back across their but and down the back of their leg/hamstring, and it attaches at the back of the knee. Watch Mike T in this webm. During his goofy little breathing exercise at the start, you can see him squeezing his hole body into a position that makes that rubber band tight. Go back and watch that again and watch his toes when he does it. you can see him adjusting his center of gravity across his foot each time. he's priming his muscles for what their about to do, so when he starts the lift they're already used to getting into the right spot. Go back and watch it again and again and watch for those things. Watch how his spine straightens when he squeezes his shoulder blades - this pushes his hips back and tightens that rubber band even more.

Now got back and watch right before he actually lifts it, but after he's done his little prepping breathing thing. He leans forward, and despite the fact his hip angle hasn't changed, the tension is off the rubber band (and we know it is, because the bar stops bending when he does it). Then when he pulls, he goes right back into the super tight rubber band position.

I would watch this (and other good deadlifters) over and over and watch lots of the subtle things I just pointed out (and probably lots more)

With sumo I do that, but with conventional I go for a simultaneous lockout of my knees and hips.

If you want a strong bench, bench more. Ohp won't be very beneficial to your bench progress but if you enjoy it there's no reason not to do it

>there's no reason not to do it
Except that overdoing competition bench press all year long is going to tear the shit out of your shoulders and pecs

He's saying that if you enjoy OHP then there's no reason not to OHP, not anything about overdoing bench
