Threadly, but non-spamming, clearly relevant, specifically on topic, greatly informative, 100% sincere and not trolling, high quality, non-avatar-fagging, 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 220.462 lbs
>A body that Yas 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.

UPDATED LIST OF PLG APPROVED ACRONYMS (Arcane Ciphers Of Never Yielding Muscularity), post, but don't spam, in every thread.

>GDE (Genetic Dead End)
Exercise low-responder. High injury rate, no sports background, weak willed.

>HANK (Hambuilt Asian, Non-Kompetitive)
Obese Asian manlet with a baby carrot penis. Doesn't compete, doesn't even lift, and is insanely jealous of those who do. LARPs as a BONER to cope.

>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.

>amazon
>no because in civilized countries we let others live their own lives and try not to be assholes to random people who literally won’t give a shit about you or what you have to say

>Warum machst du halbe Hocke? Bist du eine Schwuchtel?

He'll probably get more pissy that you're using the informal form of You than of you calling him a half squatting faggot. Germans are tards desu senpai

>tfw you read too much into programming and now don’t know what to do

Any else know this feel?

cringe. nobody asked you, fat faggot.

I’m spewing out borderline Norman khannarhea right now, first portion was very sloppy and liquify and now floaters are shooting out

I literally never used the formal "Sie" in a gym. Nobody does

Wow more Norman khan is purging out at a rapid rate..

amazon
>student halls, packages are just left on a table in the entrance hall if they're bigger than a letter so if i can avoid it i will

will remember that phrase haha.

no ideas about the DL grip apart from chalk?

hi friends do we have a /plg/ discord?

Try taping your straps to the bar

how is my approach?
sorry i posted this yesterday and went to sleep so i couldnt read any potential replies

every other day

A

bench press 3 x 5-8
squat 3 x 5-8

B

overhead press 3 x 5-8
deadlift 1 x 5-8

home daily

pullups 3 x
captains of crush grippers
neck curls (for muay thai)

shut the fuck up tranny or tranny instigator

>sorry i posted this yesterday and went to sleep so i couldnt read any potential replies
check the archive first you butthole

ok sorry

Guys how’s my approach

Every other week

Neck curls (for Muay Thai)
1x1 deadlift

When I do sumo near my 1rm weights, my knees tend to cave in and my starting position goes to shit. Is it mobility issue, muscular weakness or poor technique? How do I fix it?

Bring your feet slightly closer and focus pushing your knees out a bit more

excellent
do you mind if i take this routine?

at a point you realise it boils down to lift heavy, tell by feel when you need to back off, and try and keep a rep in the tank for triples and above

Sure friend
Save it
It’s all yours ;^)

unironically thought about double sided tape on the inside of the,

Ricedick

Impressive stats bro. Pretty good for someone with Down’s syndrome

i arent have that
plz review my routine

Any of you guys have vastly different strength levels every now and then?
Some days I feel so damn strong, I benched 120kg for 5 reps ~3 months ago, something just felt great and I was way stronger than usual, and just last week I failed 120kg for 1. I feel like I alternate from being able to throw 20kg plates around like they are frisbees and struggling to even load them on a barbell.

probably a shit diet m8

I've gone from 125kg x5 to 100kg x5 bench, 200kg x1 squat to 60kg squat in 6 months ama

Literally some fat guy that has done boxing for a few years could wipe the floor with any powerlifter.

Could be that. I'm a fat cunt who's cutting. Often I don't eat all day and then go to the gym.

I think I might have a herniated disc in my upper back though. Sometimes when I sneeze I get nerve pain in my shoulders/arms.

Yeah, that's normal depending on which week of training you're in. I always feel weak as shit at the start of a new training cycle.

Closer stance, stretch hip flexors if you're a deskjob friend

I've completely replaced regular deadlifts with trapbar pulls. So much safer for my back.

I'm not super dedicated when it comes to training cycles, I just do 5/3/1 for endless months until I feel strong enough to increase the weight I'm using, or until I get injured and have to slow down for a few weeks.

I'd feel weak as shit all the time too if I did 5/3/1.

wrong thread

kek! didn't notice that

how is this routine?

>"I know better than Rippetoe! I'll just write my own shit!"

i didnt say that
its just a routine thats fun for me

Lift heavy, eat, sleep, lift heavy again when you're recovered. That's all you need to do.

You never call anybody "Sie" at the gym

There's your feedback, you directly asked for it. do SS. or ignore user and do your "fun" thing, who cares as long as you progress

just turned 18 last month
weigh 200lbs and is 5'9
my pr for deadlift is 340lbs
is that good?

Literally anybody with a gun could wipe the floor with you

yes, you're on the right path. for your health, you should stay leaner, 200 at 5'9" is likely a little chunky.

true true, im going to be aiming for 175lbs
to be honest I like looking lean

Depends on a lot of things. How long have you been lifting? How strong were you when you started? What does “good” mean to you: good for the general population? a local powerlifting meet? a national/international level meet?

I’ve been doing 10-15 sets of 2 with short rests for my squat volume. Haven’t been doing it long enough to tell if this is better or not but it’s definitely faster than doing a 5x5.
