notZaar posted:my forearms still look like tapered tubes. more bro science now is the time to make sure you're doing cool things that involve holding onto a weight for a long time like... db rows! high-rep deadlifts! farmers carries! kettbell swings for days! do these things so your forearms can be awesome and your other stuff can be awesome too

Mister Speaker posted:Question: I mentioned before that I can't do deadlifts at home. Instead I've been doing good mornings before 5×5-8 barbell rows. Does this even make sense, or is there something else that I should do instead - some kind of clean, maybe? Should I be 5x5ing the good mornings as well or is this decidedly unsafe? (clean and snatch rip) RDLs, all kinds of power cleans, clean and/or snatch high pulls, higher reps on everything (dimel deadlifts?) 5x5 is fine on good mornings if they're quality do you have dumbbells? maybe you can do swings with them crazy idea: maybe buy a band($20), stand on it and do deadlifts/RDLs/whatever with it attached to the bar maybe figure out how to jam your feet under a couch and do some sort of glute-ham raise?

im just going to say it. overhead press is pretty weak as a "main movement". do some push presses and rep out some OHP afterwards

if you can do a lot of weight with OHP it's probably fine but there's probably a better way to increase the size and strength of those muscles than spending 50% of your training time squirming around under 95lbs #startingstrength

Chinatown posted:but the more weight you have on the bar the cooler you look so.... gently caress you, buddy. you'll lift those 5lbs pink dumbbells and you'll like it effort post: most strong dudes say you should catch a ton of volume doing a bunch of sets @ an RPE of 7-8 instead of blowing out your butthole on one heavy set @ RPE 10. jim wendler/chad wesley smith always talk about leaving a rep or two in the tank and accumulating a ton of submaximal volume if you gotta go crazy dont put the clips on the bar and dump the weights off to the side one at a time. it works. source: my poo poo lifts skimothy milkerson fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Mar 31, 2016 |

Paper Diamonds posted:So I'm doing Stronglifts 5x5. My squat has reached 205 for 5x5 on a good day, days like today 205 ends up 5/4/4/2/2. My DL is at 255 1x5 and increasing 5lbs every workout is very manageable so far. Is this plateau in my squat a signal that it's time to move away from linear programs to a period based thing? eat more

Defiant Sally posted:Only powerlifts and autists on the internet care about how much you cna lift its the only thing on my pastebin Cavefish posted:here's some advice: no one gives a gently caress how much you lift besides gay power bears and autistic internet lifters. People give even less of a gently caress how much you lift if you look like a big bag of poo poo OH BUT I CAN SQUAT A LOT thats great but can a jersey shore skank rail an 8 ball of coke off your chiseled abs I didn't think so. I get the feeling most people want to do smolov or something similar so they can be like "i told u i was hardcore" when their lovely squat goes up 30lbs to the detriment of their other lifts and physique because they're lazy and train like poo poo already and are impatient or want to play the starting strength spreadsheet rpg and minmax their stats and oh look MY GAINS and basically i'm not saying this applies to you but the majority of this forum is a bunch of loving retards who would rather spend time jerking off over fat or average chicks posting lovely progress pics than actually learning how to improve themselves and I hope you all die alone where is your god mark rippetoe now?

Constipated posted:So what kind of shoes does everyone squat/deadlift in? I've been using some chuck style slip ons for awhile that are falling apart, or just barefoot. Not really happy with the traction and support I get with either route.

Constipated posted:Lol. Rugby shorts look good, think I'll order a pair or two of those and wear some compression shorts underneath. Whichever shoes are the high-tops that look like chucks. Mark Bell and Jesse Burdick helped develop them for the powerlifts and they're very very nice. Word on the street is that at least one iteration of the Adipowers didn't/don't have 100% incompressible soles but it probably doesn't matter. The Reebok crossfit Oly shoes are nice because they have flexible forefoots for running and jumps and stuff.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:woo new bench PR. A 1 rep max calculator said I should be able to max 170 lbs which I doubted, then I gave it a shot tonight and actually managed 175. I know that's not poo poo to most people but it's the strongest I've ever been in my life. 2 or 3 months ago I could barely rep 115lbs like 3 or 4 times.
