Either that woman is entirely full of poo poo on her bench or she should go sign up for a powerlifting federation right loving now and demolish records. She has 100lbs more than Stefi Cohen for reps on bench.

You know what you need to do.

Looking at the jump from int to advanced though is like 40 loving lbs and that’s like wtf.

Well the difference between intermediate to advanced is like 3 years to >5 years lifting, and if you're not pressing 2 plates by then maybe get a new hobby.

Why not? If it’s shoulder issues that’s understandable

I hate presses and I hate that chart. I've been lifting 5 months and I'm not even halfway from beginner to novice. Stupid weak shoulders.

Well as we said the press is one of the hardest things to do and make progress on. It really takes time to get there.

Well good news, 5 months means you are a beginner/novice so the chart is accurate

i loving hate sheiko, boys. I don't mean in a "haha this sure does suck!" way, I literally hate it. It's mind numbingly boring. I've been benching/squatting/deadlifting the same goddamn weights for the past 2 months. apparently you aren't supposed to update training maxes after testing until you do a meet(or your "mock meet" if you are running it but not powerlifting) according to my coach. this is the first time i've ever actually dreaded going to the gym for real, it's almost like going to work or something now. But it's okay, my meet is in 2 weeks which I'm excited about, and after that I'm probably going to take some time to literally just gently caress around and do what I want in the gym before worrying about programming or coaching again.

I also miss my friend, OHP.

My gym wouldn’t buy me heavier bells so I brought my own 🤷‍♂️

What? I really don't get this. Why not use the bell at home instead of lugging it around and not being able to use it at home etc. Like, a major point in favor of kettlebells is you can store and use them at home easily.

The main benefit of kettlebells is that they're dumb poo poo that keep all the idiots away from the bars and platforms.

Also if you move some out of the way you can use the rack they're stored on for a sit down.

my gym's owner has a bit of a god complex and often puts out dumb little challenges he thinks noone can beat him in, in the facebook group hus latest one was "how much can u turkish getup bro" all :agesilaus: thinking noone could beat his 40kg TGU with a kettlebell until my coach rekt him by doing a 80kg TGU with barbell.

I mean it depends on your usage. You can use them for stuff like bottoms up overhead press as a way to drill shoulder stability and that isn't cardio. They're also semi useful for squat warmups for counter weight squats, or doing some swings for hip hinge work?

I use them for swings, goblet squats, suitcase squats and all those are partly cardio at least. I do not claim to be strong by the threads standards.

There may be some antipathy towards me from talking poo poo about KBs being great while drunk in the past. Sorry.

Kettlebells are amazing for accessory work but just lol at using them as your primary workout.

There is a kettlebell gym down in Long Beach that a friend goes to and she loves it but it’s just a variation on CrossFit but only using kettlebells.

*i got a 40kg kb at home

I have 2 32kg kbs, the best time for me to work out is at lunch and I like to work out at the gym. Not much room at the house with kiddos on the way and weather outside sucks.

My progression will continue for a bit at 32kg and instead of swapping to doubles I’ll probably just grab that 40kg and push up that way.

Either way I like the space, mirrors, and I also use barbells and dumbbells for stuff too. I do simple and Sinister pretty much every day even on my heavy lift days so having my training bell at the gym makes a lot of sense to me.
