|
Date: January 22nd, 2018 8:28 PM Author: fantasy-prone at-the-ready theater stage compliance is the biggest concern, but in reality you don't need to train the deadlift or the bench press to be good at either
if you are strong all around, you will have a great deadlift; my cousin (woman) was a gymnast through college, the first time she ever deadlifted she pulled almost 1.5x bodyweight
same with bench, there are olympic lifters who do nothing but overhead press and when they try to bench press they can do 225 for reps; benching isnt even the best exercise for chest development, dips are the money maker for a masculine looking chest
you kind of have to back squat to get good at the back squat because a true 1rm powerlifting style squat is by far the most difficult motor pattern of the big 3, but lots of athletes and Olympic lifters do nothing but front squat |

|
Date: January 23rd, 2018 12:34 AM Author: French sound barrier while I certainly agree they need some strength to use this optimally, I think doing this concurrently with heavy strength work is really beneficial for novices. They simultaneously build their glycogen reserves while building strength, which makes lifting heavy easier when you're not running out of gas as quickly. Also creates some hypertrophy and increases water storage, both of which complement strength. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3867470&forum_id=2#35215281) |

Genetic limitations are the difference between a 250lb bench and a 300lb one, or a 400lb vs 500lb deadlift. People who aren't hitting intermediate numbers and claim genetic limitations are pussies who aren't training hard. |

|
Date: January 22nd, 2018 3:11 PM Author: garnet racy corn cake station Echoing what MDH says, your frame should allow you to bench 225 for reps if you actually make an effort to squat. What is your shoulder, waist and pant leg measurements?
I am the same height (one inch shorter) and weight as you and am naturally skinny, but keeping the squat at 315 for reps has helped maintain the upper body strength. |
|
Date: January 22nd, 2018 3:15 PM Author: Indecent Address People Who Are Hurt squatting helps your benching? I didn't know that.
I wear a 34X34 pant. No idea what my shoulders measure at. I wear a 42L jacket? |
|
Date: January 22nd, 2018 3:18 PM Author: garnet racy corn cake station according to bro science and my anecdotal evidence, squatting maintains a level of T or something in your body that makes building and keeping other muscle mass outside your legs easier.
I am 33 X 34 with a 44 or 46L jacket.
Anyone can squat heavy - legs have the potential to be very strong. Most people are just to lazy and scared to get their legs strong.
If you bench 185 X 5, you need to squat 225 X 5. If you cant squat that much, you need to do that first and worry about bench and everything else later.
Also big leg muscles maintain your metabolism and keep the body fat down, which is probably more your goal than hitting some arbitrary bench number in your 30's. |
|
Date: January 22nd, 2018 3:21 PM Author: Indecent Address People Who Are Hurt Thanks...that's a good point. I'm going to go back to squatting, power cleaning and deadlifting the next few months and get those up to respectable comparable levels.
And, btw, I just turned 40. I'm old.

It didn't really do much for me (in fact, I put 35 pounds on bench in the 6 months after dropping it, after having put about 20 on with it), but one of the tallmos at my gym (I'm short af) really saw a jump after integrating paused declines into a program very similar to Candito. I haven't tried it since, but I may give it another shot if my current variations stop producing.
EDIT: included height details because a college wrestling conditioning coach I know, who has worked some wonders on people, swears that declines are better for tall guys than for short ones. |

|
Date: January 22nd, 2018 10:05 PM Author: French sound barrier I ran GOMAD with whole milk for a year and a half, same story. Still drink a ton of it, but not a full gallon anymore.
I'm 70% meat + dairy, with 20% remaining being carbs. Really need to eat more vegetables. |
|
Date: January 22nd, 2018 10:08 PM Author: fantasy-prone at-the-ready theater stage see above, what kind of meat?
some people don't handle carbs well (though its clearly a minority of the population, maybe 15%, but if you've been lifting 8 years and have a 3 plate bench im assuming you know what youre doing); I can burn right through them but if i eat any kind of food that is very heavy in fat like avocados or nuts my stomach is fucked for hours; meanwhile, I eat upwards of 4 cups of oats a day and am fine
re veggies: just stomach down spinach, it's the least gassiest of any vegetable, avoid broccoli and cauliflower if you get gassy |
|
Date: January 22nd, 2018 10:18 PM Author: French sound barrier Beef (steak and ground, pretty even mix), chicken (not the 6 chicken breasts a day bullshit, stuff that actually tastes good, and it isn't my main source), eggs.
I do fine with carbs as long as I either keep simple sugars low or increase fat along with simple sugar. If I don't, my digestion is poor, I bloat, and after a week I pack on fat. I can handle high carb, and have done so before, but I find I have to do more cardio, and I just don't enjoy the food. I can eat less with the low carb approach, and after years of eating for athletics, I'm pretty damn tired of food. Only time I'd go high carb now is if I were back on a swim team, as I'd want a little more fat on me and I'd get tired quickly without the carbs.
Have actually started eating spinach salads in the past 6 weeks, and it's better than any other way I've found. |

Was doing 7-8 rep sets of 150 by the end of the week over XMas/NYE, which translates to about a 185-190 1 rep max. I do a few sets of pullups every day and occasional sets of pushups at home in my apt. Based on prior experience, I think I could get up to 225 in 6-8 weeks of consistent real lifting, as that was my usual plateau when all I did was maintenance bench/curls/rows/OHP a few times a week.
