Welcome to Powerlifting General, for the discussion of training the squat, bench and deadlift for the purpose of building a better competitive total or just for funsies.
Please remember to enjoy your training, try your hardest, eat to grow and sleep well. Please leave your autism at the door and don't be a sad cunt.
If you're asking for form advice POST A FUCKING VIDEO.
Seeing as Sean is a millionaire he should fly everyone somewhere for a plg Royal Rumble
Jason Ward
How's my form?
Camden Williams
who's this soiboy
Dylan Jackson
a guy I know squatted 200kg at 65kg bodyweight at age 16 without roids, he was doing oly
should he have become a powerlifter?
Caleb Bennett
no he should be doing oly and earn some money
Austin Bailey
he stopped lifting and became a software developer lol
Robert Robinson
what a waste I bet he's also a shitty codemonkey earning barely more than minimum wage
William Walker
nah, he earns 4-5 times minimum
Evan Harris
Anyone?
Adam Robinson
lol like I said barely more
Michael Ortiz
Maybe if your dick was 4-5x bigger it wouldn't make a difference kiddo.
Juan Gonzalez
what do you think of our taller humans? there are bigger, but also tiny humans.
Elijah Thompson
He's entrapping me into making myself a fool
Look at the background. I've been in enough clubs to recognise when someone is in a real (good) PL club.
Juan Diaz
>Look at the background. I've been in enough clubs to recognise when someone is in a real (good) PL club That doesnt mean its Sweden dumb fuck
Ian Flores
maybe he recognises the background and the photos on the wall, and knows its a gym in sweden you stupid APE
Nathan Johnson
Thats now what he wrote you stupid ape
Luis Myers
>If you're asking for form advice POST A FUCKING VIDEO.
This is why no cunts on this board takes your faggots seriously, even Jow Forumspowerlifting is better than this shit
Benjamin Torres
It's much easier to diagnose and solve a problem when you actually have something to reference other than a person's description of what's wrong.
Nathaniel Bennett
t. uggo whos scared to post himself online
Carter Lopez
You don't have to believe me but isley is a vampire and or werewolf
Justin Bell
hes just an anglo. we're naturally pale
Thomas Powell
>George "fake Anglo with a German last name" Seeger >Anglo
Heh, good one.
Joshua Reyes
Pale black?
Samuel Collins
That's Garrett Blevins and he's stronger than you.
I've seen him in daylight so I'm voting werewolf.
Anyone that can *accurately* describe (protip, you probably can't) their form issues doesn't need form advice on a Malaysian flyfishing enthusiast board.
Asher James
>happy about 320kg squat I don't think he's stronger than me.
Kayden Cooper
What are the advantages to thumbs around on the squat?
William Davis
Somewhere on the East coast of North America would make the most sense
Caleb Butler
He is at the minute, Sam :^)
Aaron Richardson
>WAWTT
I'm going to do flat bench for the first time in about nine months. Wish me luck, plg.
I'll also be doing wide-grip OHP, floor press, cable row, and BTN pulldown.
>WAWET
Mom's making chili, so that'll be nice.
>WAWLTT
Maybe some Killswitch. I'd also like to give Mayhem a shot.
>WAWFT
Mostly comfy, but also disappointed in the results I'm getting from Tinder and OKC.
>mfw single for over a year and don't know how to get laid outside of a relationship
For these fights to work everyone post who your opponent to fight will be
Winner moves on to the next round
My opponent will obviously be Seeger so now no one else can pick me or Seeger in the first round
Understand ?
Austin Taylor
how do i into grip strength
>t. deadlift 255kg, couldn't do 4 plate double overhand
James Bennett
>4 plate 3 plate i mean literally couldn't lift 140kg overhand
Colton Lee
i had a rhomboid injury/strain from powercleaning and front squatting too often and ignoring rhomboid strain. got prescribed muscle relaxers for a week and today it felt completely better. i was doing no hook no contact powerclean and push presses while i was waiting for it to heal because of the reduced loading and i hit a max today since my back felt really good. reminder to try harder btw youtube.com/watch?v=huLV4m8Gh3Y
Isaac Hall
you dont need to so who cares
Jaxon Sanders
Did Stefi “The Nose” Cohen compete tested or untested at Kern?
Hudson Bailey
if she could pass a drugs test she would go ipf atleast once and btfo all the autists, but she cant
Unironically though you can change your personality yourself. Pick one thing you want to change, practice it every moment it comes up until what you want to do becomes natural. Repeat ad nauseum. Eventually you'll be the person you want to be.
>fall for the salt meme >go hard for 3.5 hours, absolutely no issue, typically i'm dead after 2 wtf i love gbro now
also my gym was doing some repairs and the power was gone so there was no music or lights which scared most of the normies away and it was great (and there was no garbo music which was great too)
Benjamin Sanchez
Are you implying that you don't want to hear about that woman's heart being in Havana every twelve minutes?
Levi Carter
but I can only B myself. I dont know how to be anything else
Jacob Johnson
Plop!
Squiiiiisssshhhshshshs spluuusshshshhshs Wee
EWEWW
WEE W THAT FUCKING STENCH OF NORMAN LHAN JUST HIT MY NOSTRILS
THAT IS ONE STINKY SMELLY NORMAN KHAN
oh here comes some more
Squiiiiiiisshshshshshh
Pisssssssss
Man this Norman khan has hit a 7.5/10 stink factor
Aiden Flores
>have to do 5 reps >get to 4-5 >not sure if it's 4 or 5 >do another one >form goes to shit, barely lock out when it shouldn't have been too much trouble, so yeah i probably did 6 this happens way more often than it should how do i stop it (and yes i do count the reps but i guess i just lose track of it at some point)
fuck no, i don't understand how people can tolerate that sort of thing
Luke Powell
Glad someone else tried something and it worked for them
Helping anons 1 at a time
Carson Evans
I deadlift 200kg and can double overhand 160kg, but I'm a 6'8 lanklet.
You've probably just got small hands.
David Anderson
Count out loud if you're that much of a brainlet.
Jack Allen
tried it, doesn't help i legitimately forget
i guess i could get someone else to count for me, but that'll make me look like a complete retard
Landon Morris
I'm thinking of working an "accessory circuit" in at the end of my main lifts. This would be a circuit-style no-rest thing. >face pulls for muh posture and I guess shoulders >bicep curls for muh trex mode >farmer's walk for muh grip and rediscovering FW is awesome last week >planks for muh core
Anyone else do something like this? I'm especially stoked about the farmer's walk. But is doing these exercises every day (or 3 days in a row, whatever) sub-optimal?
Michael Hughes
If you have a training partner, just tell them to let you know when you've got one more.
Kayden Gray
I don't think there's any testing at the US open. No way she would pass a test either way though
Jacob Morales
This is basically what I do. For me its rows, abs and curls, as many sets as possible in 10 minutes.
Easton Gutierrez
Do triples instead, form goes to shit reps 4 and 5 anyway, if its heavy enough to be effective
Lincoln King
I've done/do something like this. Generally I keep it to 2 exercises, and your selection can vary. Ones I've used include >rear delt flys >lat raises >some kind of tricep extension >some kind of bicep curl >ab wheel >GHRs >some kind of row >pullups/chinups >DB pullovers
Some suggestions for you.
Camden Lee
What youve described would yield good returns if done for a while, and build work capacity well which will aid in better recovery between sessions and sets
I consider back exercises like chinups or rows to be a primary exercise, due to the size of the muscle groups worked
>>DB pullovers Normal or cross-bench?
Great!
Brandon Turner
A row is NOT a primary movement
The muscles of the upper back can take a ton of volume without impacting recovery or hindering anything else
Jeremiah Garcia
> this If I have time I always end my sessions with a few sets of pull downs or rows
Connor Thomas
Ive been doing 10x10 or drop sets that always end up being 70+reps
Nicholas Baker
I generally do something like 50 total reps and if I finish in 3 sets I move up the weight, alternating between pull downs and cable rows
Wyatt Johnson
Yeah i did that for a while, easy way to progress
Jack Hughes
So you're saying I can make more row/pullup gains doing them everyday than if I let the lats recover 48 hours? For strength?
Blake Kelly
How many days a week do you train? I wouldn't do them literally every day but 3 or 4 times a week is doable
Jaxon Garcia
I also think it's a little different whether you're doing heavy bent over rows or something like cable rows. Cable rows will beat you up a lot less and thus you could do it more often
Sebastian Turner
Crossbench is how I've always done them.
Landon Brooks
Just do a ton of upper back volume and try to involve the arms as little as possible, pull with the elbows not the hands
Dylan Wright
I've been doing 4 or 5, trying to get more like 5 or 6. Was only doing 3 or 4 last month though.
Partially I'm trying to spend less time in the gym each day and go more days, for scheduling reasons, so I can get more sleep.
I've been doing lat pulldowns (cable) primarily.
Ian Young
What do when i just cant get tight on anything
I wasted a sessiom because of this yesterday. I tried to learn from it but i feel clueless. It happens sometimes
Colton Thompson
Learn how to get tight? Experiment with different setups
Camden Gomez
Hard to explain how to actually get tight. Watch juggernauts squat bench and deadlift tutorials, that should help
No i mean i know how to get tight but on occasion a session i cant get tight no matter what
Gavin Lewis
try using a belt. I had no idea how to brace or get tight until I started using a belt. It's easier with belt so try to imitate the feeling.
Cameron Martin
Long and full of terrors
Carter Perez
just add 10kg each month so about 4 months
Colton Flores
Got a qt girl's number and I'm HAPPY.
Ayden Edwards
Just add 2.5kgs each month so about 16 months.
Xavier Martinez
imagine this
there are people who use anabolics for a sport
they dont get paid to compete in
someone better justify this shit real quick
*cough cough* cameron
Zachary Martinez
tbf I agree with that.
John Gutierrez
Isn't BPU and some other lolfeds the only feds that pay the lifters, unlike IPF?
Parker Robinson
I mean I honestly wouldn't even roid for a USAW stipend
I think the most you get for being a great weightlifter is like 40,000 dollars a year which is not worth the irrepairable damage you do to your body lol
Jeremiah Martinez
Sponsorships? Supplement shilling?
Isaiah Thompson
I mean thats extra but still like
just work a job its not that bad lol
Chase Morris
Yeah I get what you're saying, it's a hobby. But everyone has to decide on their own how much they want to invest in that hobby. But actually wanting to be a full time powerlifter is impossible, stupid and lazy.
Nicholas Sullivan
I mean in Russia the weightlifting team gets like 7-12k a month
Nicholas Baker
I mean yeah thats something that would be a bit more convincing for PED usage but still thats nothing amazing like NBA players salary
Wyatt Gutierrez
You had a bad session. Get the fuck over it.
The better you get, the more mediocre and bad sessions are going to have.
Jonathan Robinson
They dont pay, but unlike GBPF they actually test at every comp
