I finally put up 200 pounds in a strict OHP after doing some singles for fun after my work sets. I actually get to test next week and I'm hoping for 225+ which will feel pretty good.

Nothing that I have the plan to. I go in and do what my friend that's a really good sports physical therapist and strength coach tells me to do. He's got my plan but adjusts based off how I'm moving. I'm almost a month back into training again after being out of the gym since last June with recovery issues due to thyroid and sleep problems. I'm finally on a CPAP and able to recover and it makes a difference. We're working on some of my movement patterns and we're going to shed the bad weight I put on and prep for a strong man meet. He's had singles in my plan if I'm moving well to acclimate me to heavier weights again. Here's a super easy 415 squat single so he let me do a 430 after but capped it there even though it was a similar bar speed. Hoping to test in the 470s which wouldn't be bad for a month back in the gym. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUw6jpnEAj/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=yy53wxi7v3oy Dilber fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Mar 24, 2019 |

PR'd 8 plates on trap bar deadlifts today, 414# Crazy thing is I stopped training deadlift (@350) 9 months ago and swapped to 70# kettlebell swings/getups. Does it make sense for a PR to go up by 65 pounds without training? I feel like I can go even higher but would need to swap to straight-bar.

You all probably got better at core bracing via get ups allowing you to transfer more force. It makes plenty of sense, especially if they were weak areas for you.

Yea just recently I didnt dl for a almost a full year and just focused on squat and made good gains on it and then when i went back to dl again i worked up to my old pr and pulled it twice when i was planning on not even getting close to that weight that day it was really something

Yeah I mean that's what I figured but a 70 pound weight enhancing things that much? I definitely do have a better mind/body connection now and a lot more confidence in my lifts.

bomb posted:Yeah I mean that's what I figured but a 70 pound weight enhancing things that much? I definitely do have a better mind/body connection now and a lot more confidence in my lifts. Research shows that using a trap bar allows for about 6% more weight compared to a regular deadlift bar, and is especially useful for people that had issues breaking from the floor. If you had those issues before, a trap bar would let you lift a lot more. Furthermore, doing swings and getups probably got you stronger in the musculature of the deadlift that probably was weak before. If you've continued squatting as well, you've probably just increased your strength. the other comedy options arethat your trap bar dead looks like poo poo and you really shouldn't have gone up that much, or you are miscounting how much the trap bar weighs.

I stopped doing back squats back when I stopped doing DL, but do heavy kettlebell prying squats every day. My core and postier chain are definitely more functional now then when I was doing Stronglifts last year.

I PR'd sumo straight bar DL this morning, 2repsX365lbs, then 1X365. The older dude I chat with is 2 years out of a knee replacement and was doing trap bar dl at 410lbs plus bar weight and made it look easy.

It’s not exactly easier (well it’s 6% easier I guess) but it lets people do what they couldn’t for a variety of reasons. If you aren’t ever gonna compete and have hip / lower back issues just use the trap bar. It’s cool and good.

I wonder how much of that is due to the much better grip you can get on the bar without loving up your wrists

I was having lower back issues from poorly programmed conventional deads last summer ("5 lbs per week", no autoregulation) and tried switching to trap bar deads for several months and they irritated my back just as bad as conventional but with baby weights. Then I finally tried sumo late last fall and in like two weeks was right back at my old working weights with minimal discomfort. By that point I was more aware of the relationship between training volume/intensity and pain so I didn't re-injure myself. I'm back to pulling conventional for the program I'm doing and my back is fine now. I tried trap bar deads again when I was between programs a couple months ago and I sucked hard farts with them. I did trap bar deads 240 lb x 6 on Tuesday, then 315 x 5 with conventional deads on Friday. Straight bar is massively stronger for me. Just goes to show how individual this stuff is.

I would love to continue on with trap-bar but my gym plates max out at 45# and 8 plates is the max that will fit on the trap bar they have.

mobby_6kl posted:I wonder how much of that is due to the much better grip you can get on the bar without loving up your wrists It lets you keep weight directly over your feet, rather than out in front to clear your knees, so you should be able to exert more force. Also, I believe if you use high handles it reduces ROM? I could be wrong about that though.

I'm in the process of opening a gym / physical therapy clinic with my buddy, and I can't wait to get to test this out. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt9MlaChls1/?hl=en It's similar to the eleiko one, but we like the design better.

I don't know anything about this guy and I don't care that he's obviously not natty, all my judgement of him is based on the fact that he filmed himself dressed like a weird yogi set to "Hallelujah" as a way to market a barbell.
