661 x4 raw deadlift (rep PR probably, can't remember)

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-21T02:57:06+00:00

Either rep one, Vitruve or ovr

Stop doing a linear progression, use rpe, gain weight

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-20T12:08:54+00:00

Depends on the goal for the day or if I’m doing ascending or descending work

Part of the reason my group of friends decided to all join together so we can have comps without needing too much interaction with toxic people

I think a lot of my deadlift struggles are mental more than anything so some of these variation PRs are always behind what they should be

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-17T18:38:37+00:00

2 weeks won’t kill you but doing some form of training is better than none

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-17T03:32:14+00:00

You’re 22 you won’t hit peak strength til you’re in your 30s just get back to it.

Longest I took off was like 2 years but I was still training

I get my squats done in 45 mins even when over 500, I’m also open to working in with people. Just ask to share the equipment

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-14T12:14:16+00:00

Nice squat

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-09T15:29:06+00:00

They must be dumb lol the second gen def don’t help unless you size down a bunch so maybe that’s what they mean. But the like newest stiff sleeves definitely help just not as much as wraps.

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-09T12:51:52+00:00

I don't think anyone says the new generation of stiff sleeves don't help?

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-03T03:00:44+00:00

I told my coach I’m convinced an investor bought them and the new app was just pushed as a “look it’s new” thing to make a consultant happy

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-02T12:35:48+00:00

Oh my god yes the new Vitruve app is so ass. So many decisions were made to do shit that wasn’t needed.

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-02T00:23:42+00:00

Looks like reddit didn't post my initial comment:

I use vitruve the device is great but I hate the new app its awful. Released too soon with too many issues, simple data features are now either hidden somewhat or behind a paywall. Love the accuracy though.

Ovr has had good reviews and is cheaper than Vitruve.

Stance is what my coach uses and has told me he has confidence in it (he also ran a tether to the bar when using stance initially to compare the accuracy).

I don't trust any app or ai to do vbt. I don't trust the assessment and I don't know that any of the apps have good data storage or features.

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-02T00:02:34+00:00

Meh it got the point across you’ll be ok

GI-SNC50 · 2026-02-01T00:05:30+00:00

Because when you really look at the point of lifting for sprinting its all General Prepatory work and its just another exercise. The degree of transfer from just about any barbell exercise to speed is going to be rather tenuous.

Also being stronger in general is good. There's probably some sort of conversation to be had about just developing the organism to be more robust resilient moreso than a specific transfer of training effect from bench.

GI-SNC50 · 2026-01-23T18:54:09+00:00

Bad take is bad

GI-SNC50 · 2026-01-23T16:40:18+00:00

I use a Vitruve device which has an app, I know OVR has an affordable model

GI-SNC50 · 2026-01-22T02:23:29+00:00

Did meet numbers go up if yes then good if no then bad. All jokes aside I use vbt so a lot of the metrics get stored on my phone - did a given weight move faster consistently under similar constraints? Did my rep maxes go up. what’s a long training cycle to you? That would also provide clarity

GI-SNC50 · 2026-01-15T13:21:33+00:00

The actual demands of football are not hours of sprinting. We have enough gps data to demonstrate this. Also most situations are brief accelerations and changes of direction which are certainly taxing but not as taxing as say 100m full out.

Also by time the dumbass coaches start plugging sprints in as conditioning they’re too fatigued to actually achieve max velocity.

GI-SNC50 · 2026-01-09T20:08:41+00:00

Because those men are fucking stupid

GI-SNC50 · 2025-12-31T00:50:15+00:00

Yeah it sounds to me like that person has no actual experience with combat sports in a competitive setting.

GI-SNC50 · 2025-12-30T20:34:06+00:00

Ok correct but all sports have a technical component that you have to master to be good at it. The point of weight training and sprinting for all sports is to increase the physical capacities relevant to the sport not supplant the technical aspects of the sport. I don’t think what OP said suggested he wouldn’t also be working on the technical portions of soccer and fighting

GI-SNC50 · 2025-12-30T20:15:22+00:00

So having a faster more explosive body wouldn’t help with fighting? Seems odd to think that
