Bench, dead, squat. Those are the main lifts. Then use accessory movements to build each lift. What builds the bench? Tricep work, lat work, upper back, etc.

Deadlift. You need to build the posterior chain. Hams, glutes, hips, low back, etc. Dimel deads, RDL's, glute ham raises, deficit deads, yadda yadda.

you should let spec c write you a basic workout or go workout with him a couple times to learn the 3 big lifts. Get a good foundation from that and you will venture out later if you continue to pursuit the gym life lol...

I learned those 3 lifts and did that for close to 3 years. I have since tried other ways and train a lot different now than how I was 3 years or 2 years ago.

Actually push/pull is pretty effective. If you are doing the big lifts, you are effectively doing the same thing. You are using pulling/pushing to build the main lifts.

But IMO pushing should include:
Bench
Overhead press(standing strict)

Pulling should include:
Deadlift
Rowing variations, etc

Push, pull, legs is a pretty common program.

Any real "strength" based program is going to center around the big 3 competition lifts, and use all the other stuff to build those lifts.

You can still get in a nice amount of volume/hypertrophy on those assistance movements.

I will give you an example of last night which was bench day for me. You can see the assistance movements are done more like a BB, with higher reps, etc. This builds work capacity, and is good for hypertrophy.

Bench:
bar x many
95 x 10
135 x 10
185 x 1
225 x 1
275 x 1
315 x 1
340 x 3(PR)

Slingshot bench:
315 x 5
325 x 3
335 x 5

5 sec hold bench:(5 seconds on the chest between every rep)
225 x 3
225 x 3
235 x 3

Standing Lat Pulls to Belly
70 x 30
100 x 20
130 x 20
160 x 15

Superset:
1) standing seated cable rows scap retraction 120 x 20 x 4 sets
2) band pushdowns x 20 x 4 sets
It's amazing how much lack of forearm strength alone can hinder deads and bench
YES.

I had SASTM(Sound Assisted Soft tissue mobilization) done yesterday on my pec. Basically they take these hard plastic tools and scrape them hard as fuck on affected areas to break up adhesion and scar tissue. It was one of the most painful things I have ever had done..lol In hindsight having it done an hour before bench pressing wasn't the smartest thing. My pec right now looks like a bruised and bloody mess.

Yet fuckers forearms are sick! Haven't met anyone besides uper echelon lifters/pros/etc that have had better forearm development than him.

thats ignorance, follow what spec c lays out and do it. obviously you will be doing a lot less weight than him, but that doesnt mean you now "powerlifting". You will at least be going to the gym with a purpose. Have a proper training regimen along with cardio and diet aligned you will be seeing results.

Powerlifting isn't only about going big(big is relative). If anything it is more apt to teaching proper form. You don't just put on 95% of your max and start moving it. heh..

IMO what I would do if I were you is look into something like "starting strength" or 5/3/1. Both are great programs for someone in your position(just getting back into it), to even advanced lifters. Neither are really powerlifting programs, but are "strength based".

The problem with most people when they use hypertrophy based programs is they build bad habits on compound lifts, don't balance pulling/pushing and develop imbalances, etc. Programs like that will solve a lot of that.

But push/pull/legs is good too. I would just be including multi joint, compound lifts. But that is me. :)

Yea that is a big time problem and leads to a host of issues(bad posture being one). I suffered from that as well. Not enough upper back, and scapular retraction. The shoulders begin to round forward all the time, and you go through life lurching around, slumped forward.

This is worsened if you have a desk job where you sit all day, slumped over a computer, as is issues with the posterior chain(shortened hamstrings, tight hip flexors, etc)

A lot of peoples training is also very quad dominant, and lacks adequate hamstring work. Building up the posterior chain is VERY important.

Getting very lean. Yes is "largely" influenced by diet.

You can get "leaner" without any special nutritional changes if you go from sitting on your ass all day, to actually expending energy. He didn't say he wanted to be shredded or anything. Just lean up.

Spec is simply calling you out because your simply regurgitating things you've probably read on the internet, heard your crossfit friends say, or some shit you saw on an infomercial. The problem with that in this case is this: You have a guy asking for help in order to reach a specific goal. When people who don't really know what they're talking about chime in with terms like "muscle confusion" and "mostly nutrition", gym rats like Spec and myself and Dsquared shake our heads and laugh. Your not helping the guy, your actually giving him misinformation. Which he might actually listen to, and even pass that information on to someone else. And then you end up with people who don't get results and repeat stupid information thats false. Maybe you didn't know what you were saying, maybe you just like to hear yourself sound important on a forum, maybe you actually truly believed in what you were saying and you had the best intentions. I have no clue. But just in the future, if your planning on giving advice about someones health, make sure you eat sleep and breathe this stuff, and know what your telling people.

Lifting is sometimes difficult because I have shorter arms and limited rotation of my shoulders (no clue why)

so this should be interesting

That can be an advantage. If we ever lift together I'll help you try and optimize your form for your proportions .

Do you have shoulder mobility issues?

Phxkid . here was a 500lb beltless deadlift from a few weeks back. This was a warmup. Hips came up faster than id like.Last week I pulled 500 x 5.

Right now 205-210. Lifting for like 8 years but specifically focused on strength about a year. The first few years I spent spinning my wheels.wish I had people willing to help.

I'm the weakest out of my lifting partners lol this was from yesterday. Freak.

P.S. I hate when people do bicep curls in the squat rack...

Wait, that's not a curl rack?

I'm hardcore. I prefer Insanity with Shaun T, nothing like a gay black man to motivate you

Lol. This thread is great.

There's some good knowledge and a lot of misinformation. It's funny how everyone seems to be a fitness expert whether they look like the Michelin man or not.

Spec's pretty knowledgable and very strong.
