I feel you. Sheiko gave me some aches and mild tendinitis and as the volume accumulated I struggled to keep up. Hopefully the program works for you

This forum has an absolutely toxic mindset when it comes to lifting. Machines, smith machine, and isolation excercises are all great tools to use in order to help you get bigger. They all have their uses and benefits, you would think a bodybuilding forum would realize this. Its no wonder some many on thi site are dyel
I think you're missing the point that us "big 3" guys make. If you squat, dead and bench with heavy and heavier weights, you will get bigger. You will look like a bodybuilder. I personally think it should be the big 5, you can't leave OHP and pullups out of bodybuilding.

You mention tools, those are accessories, the nuts and bolts of bodybuilding are heavy weights, over and over and over.

Where are you located and what gym do you go to that makes you assume "99% of lifters who do compounds do them really furcking wrong" and then apply that to the world? I mean, you are 21 years old, so are still in that stage where you think you know everything. I mean, I can agree with you, lots of people don't really know what they're doing and they should stop before they hurt themselves or at least get training. Every time I hear people proclaim running will ruin your knees, I know these people are actually joggers and are fat, out of shape (or heavily muscled with little lung capacity/low endurance) and do a lot of up/down motion when going at a pace slightly too fast to walk, but too slow to run. They are not actually runners and when they get injured, it's not because of running....since they don't actually run.

Not sure about the percentage of people doing deadlifts incorrectly at the gyms I use, I just don't really pay attention. Too busy with my own lifts or running. But I have been deadlifting for longer than you've been alive and have no back problems or any problems.........except muscle tears. I don't really try to go heavier and heavier anymore. Already had one shoulder surgery and feel like I got two other strains, that will be tears if I really pushed myself to go heavy.

I think youre missing the point that bodybuilders make. Nobody says heavy weights are bad, but you have to pick the right heavy weights. And you have to do reps with those weights. Nobody wants to be like ben rice.

Id rather do heavy underhand rows to emphasize the lower lats and develop width than to deadlift 7 plates. Id rather do heavy incline dumbells than flat barbell, most people have lagging upper chests. The big 3 are great but like I said they are not magical. And for a lot of people the big 3 will accelerate asymmetries.

Just from observation, bodybuilders look wider, and powerlifters look thicker, and I think where the difference lies is in OHP and pullups (weighted) like he says. Most powerlifters I know don't touch either OHP or pullups, and hence tend to look like they do, but like what you say, lats are essential for that v-taper.

Also, I thought upper/lower chest was a myth? Most people are just fat, so their lower chest look bigger.

Either way, 99% of GYM GOERS are nowhere near the size where asymmetries matter. As long as they add OHP and pullups to get wide shoulders and wide backs. I think it'll do till they become more elite.

I think deadlifts are retarded, but thats only because i always feel my back in a way im not supposed to when doing them, no matter how much weight. Every other normal lift is fair game

Well we all start somewhere and I haven't been able to train the deadlift that much. Lets see what it turns into over the coming weeks. As I said at the very beginning of my post you quoted I'm not trying to brag. I was just saying what I have started with for 6x5 and plan to continue adding weight while doing volume work with the deadlift. Believe me, I wish I was at 4-5 plates right now. I also need to buy some more 45's. I only have a total of 335lbs (including the bar).

Doing deadlifts set me up for no back problems ever, can do physical work all day with no prob

Whats the 1st thing plebs do when they injure their back? Avoid all exercise and related movements to the back thus making the back even weaker, the injury potentially worse and setting themself up for a life of mediocrity and further injuries

Harden the **** up

That doesn't change the fact that bragging about a 375 deadlift is ****ing retarded, unless we're talking kilograms...

Never bragged about it. I said that's probably where it is right now. And what does posting a video of a dude who has been lifting for years have anything to do with it.

I should send you one of my blood soaked sanitary pads i used after fukking up my haemmeroids and having to operate on them. Now i exclude lifting squats. It wasnt even from disc issues.

Every workout should be customized to the person.

I was just joking with OP bro. It's not even a srs thread, why would I post 230lbs 6x5 as a srs weight? Come on m8.

Maybe I should have put not srs after it?

Well you got the bald head and you're more or less the same height as him. And he also did that same weight for five reps touch and go @ only 264 lbs (6'3"). That's pretty ****ing impressive.

Ok then you're cool.But you'd be surprised man, it's always people who are barely above average that are bragging about how awesome they are.

Yup he's only a little taller. And he pulled 939 beltless at under 275lbs.

He is basically the man when it comes to deadlifting.
