@piperdown44 yeah, I've considered trying to up the %, but hey, it's programmed that way for a reason, and I'm still a noob so I'm not going to argue with it too much. And like I've already said, I'm thinking of doing the 20 rep squat in a couple months, so if I can't get myself mentally able to do 10+, there's no way that I'll be able to do 20.
Working toward a 20 rep squat I can understand the standard 5x10 BBB. But, I will point out, that 5x10 BBB is only 1 of a handful of BBB templates that Wendler put in. It just happens to be the most common but not the only one available.
The accessory portion of any 5/3/1 variation is just that....an "accessory" to help build on your main lifts. They should support your specific goal. 5x10 is for hypertrophy primarily, and volume accumulation secondary......the theory of a bigger muscle is a stronger muscles seems to ring true most often.0 -
My past week of training started out well but ended poorly (see bench below). I am peaking for a meet so I was hitting heavy doubles last week.
Squat 275x2 - a little slow on the last rep, but successful:
Deadlift 335x2 - success:
(the two reps are pasted together because my phone fell over but some girl picked my phone up while I was resetting for the second rep)
Bench 130x2 - epic fail:
Pardon my language, but bench is such a *kitten* for me, and it is already so low in relation to my squat and deadlift numbers, and it is also way low compared to what other girls in my weight class are benching. I am working on putting more mass on my upper body, but I need to fix the mental part too. Is there anyone here that used to have mental issues with bench but then got over them? If so, how did you accomplish that?0 -
I did 3 x 10 on my bench at 135- and that was a first in a long time doing such high reps on bench- not sure if this will work- been a while since I did an IG video to MFP.
This is seriously impressive!0 -
This morning's 5/3/1 top set 185 for 3+...got 9. Might have gone for 1-2 more with a spotter. @Iron_Miss_Canada I know you commented on my tightness for my bench the last time I posted it, any better here?

Are you doing close-grip bench?
@DopeItUp I guess that depends on what you consider close-grip. I put the tip my thumbs on the break in the knurling and then grab the bar, so I end up being about 2-3" outside of that. It's slightly wider than shoulder width. I wouldn't call it wide, but I wouldn't consider it narrow either. I would consider narrow anything with my hands inside of that break.0 -

thank you
I didn't actually know this till I got on here and had my *kitten* handed to me about something- apparently I have an abnormally big bench- I assumed most women could push around 135 (I said one time 135 was warm up weight) and I didn't realize I was being insulting LOL- so apparently I'm some sort of weird freak bencher LOL.
Now if I could get my DL up to your standards- we'd be on to something.0 -

I like how your deadlift was heavy enough to knock over your phone on the first rep.0 -

I was curious because it looks super narrow and your elbows are flaring massively which makes it further look like a close-grip bench. You'd probably benefit a lot from getting those elbows tucked better either way.0 -

Bench seems to be by far my weakest lift. Maybe the elbows have something to do with that. Always something to work on. Thanks for pointing it out though.0 -

Sure. Probably the #1 thing that helped my bench.

@McCloud33 much better tightness in the back. Although I have to agree that your elbows are flaring like crazy.
@ash_law - I love your squat and deadlift! When it comes to bench, the biggest thing I see is a lack of consistency from rep to rep. When you're on, your groove is excellent. I'd love to see what simply more time under the bar does.0 -
What a difference calories make! Son's birthday dinner last night so I splurged a little and got 275x7 on squat this morning.

Nice, deep squats @McCloud33 . Beltless at that... I'm impressed. More calories always equate to more weights for me.
And since I'm a pervert: is somebody shooting a porno in the background?1 -

My bench has been a troubled soul. I've dislocated my right shoulder a lot in my adult life (it's one of the reasons I started lifting weights actually) and it's the one lift that has, in the past, put the fear of god into me.
It took me 2-3 years of not tearing my shoulder out of it's socket to get over the fact that it's not going to happen. Not very insightful, I guess. I just did every single rep as perfectly as I could and treated each one like a single. And in time the accumulation of reps got me moving forward without really thinking about it.
I've even come to the point where I enjoy it and that's not something I ever thought I would feel about benching...0 -
@ash_law - I used to have huge mental issues and blocks on bench. Then one day at team training, my coach had enough of me mentally quitting on sets when there was physically still a lot left in the tank. So he told me that he wasn't going to rescue me, loaded the bar past my max, and forced me to do a three board single. And then we did all the accessory work for bench, and I had to go back after that and repeat the single.
Tough love, it wouldn't work on everyone, but it worked on me. Three weeks later I added 11kg to my max after being stuck at 55kg for 9 months. I've been making consistent progress since then.0 -

Thanks @_incogneato_ not quite a 275 powerclean like yours, but it's what I got. You're on your own with whatever is going on in the background LOL
Does anyone else find that they prefer doing squats OUT of the cage and with no safety? For whatever reason, just knowing that if I don't stand back up, I'm going to have to drop it gives me just that much more motivation to stand up. Maybe it's just me.0 -
On this morning's manifest was to test OHP since I am bringing that back into my program once a week after an injury shied me away from it for a few months.
https://youtu.be/YWRJkAs3V5Y?t=11s
I failed 185 lbs. Almost had lockout but, gravity.
https://youtu.be/nVWaFyL0De0?t=17s
Went back for 175 lbs. Nailed. I supposed I could have attempted 180 lbs, but since its not a competitive lift, I am not very concerned about 5 pounds. I hope to bodyweight (210 lbs) OHP by end of June -- or at least get close.
OHP: 70x7, 90x5, 105x5, 125x1, 145x1, 165x1, 185x0, 175x1. (New 1RM).0 -

Nicely done @nakedraygun ! You totally had 185. I would have tried it again instead of dropping down. And just to be a d!ck, it's really a push press and not an OHP you're doing, but like you said, it's not a competition lift so who cares. If you can get that close to 185 without training it, I bet you can hit 210 by the end of June. Good luck.

I can never keep the two straight for some reason. Its like the same with sweaters and sweatshirts, they do the same thing in my mind, I tend to describe them interchangeably even though I know which one I am wearing. (I think I have a sweater on now.)Nicely done @nakedraygun ! You totally had 185. I would have tried it again instead of dropping down.

Yeah, I probably should have attempted 185 again, but I'm fine with 175, didn't want to push things too much since I have not done them in months.
Thanks!0 -

That's interesting that you couldn't push press 185 but you can bench 3 plates. Probably just because you haven't trained it in a while, you'll probably catch up really fast. You could probably do 210 easy by summer. Our bench is almost the same but I can PP 225 pretty easily so you'll be there before you know it.0 -
I don't Bench but here are my maxes so far (Video won't upload):
Deadlift - 265#
Back Squat - 175#
Front Squat - 160#
C & J - 135#
Snatch - 105#

I last regularly trained press last summer. Meanwhile, I continued to train my bench. If I could rep 210 once by summer, I'd be happy, that would be about my bodyweight. I finally got a double body weight squat on the platform last weekend and pressing my weight would be a nice additional accomplishment.That's interesting that you couldn't push press 185 but you can bench 3 plates.

Best ever is 325, myself. An ugly-ish 325.

315 but bro had hands on the bar, so yeah, ugly here too. Safely 305 lbs paused on a the platform last August. I hope to in the next 8 to 16 weeks to accumulate enough volume in bench to get it up to an ugly 325.nakedraygun wrote: »

Proud of this and sharing everywhere. This paused 345lb PR is 10lbs more than my last tested T-N-G 1RM. It was a grinder, but it came up.

@_incogNEATo_ strong man right there...way to grind it up. When was that last T-N-G 1RM? That's a good jump especially going from TNG to paused.0
