/plg/ - powerlifting general

Is it bad to wear a fitness youtubers shirt? Want to wear elgintensity's crossshit shirt to my commercial gym.

The only acceptable Elgintensity shirt to wear to the gym in the Triforce one with the Squat, Bench, and Deadlift in each triangle. And even then, only if you squat 600 lbs, deadlift 500 lbs, and bench pres 300 lbs.

should I know who Eightintensity is?

you just have to bulk harder

bench press is the best gauge of RAW PHYSICAL STRENGTH. you only downplay this because you're a pudgy, weak little shit of a manlet with an equally embarrassing bench press.

nobody gives a shit that you can bounce your morbidly obese gut off of your legs for your little bullshit wide stance "squat". nobody cares about your 5 inch ROM sumo "deadlift".

bench. press. is. king.

He's this guy:

But he slowed down his video output, particularly with the Gym Idiots stuff, so people stopped caring.

post proof

yesterday i felt like doing a max clean, keep in mind i dont do oly

i legit did a 130kg clean the first time lmaoing @ panzers life. i deadlift 250kg conventional guess that powerlifters muscle cleaning these olyfags max wasnt a joke

i dont even know if i can front squat 140kg

Its summer and my shirts get drenched in sweat now more than ever.

I noticed some shirts smell great after i wash them and until i wear them.

As soon as i sweat a little in the shirt it starts to smell worse and worse.

This doesnt happen with new t-shorts. New t-shirts seem to just get wet and dont realy smell.

So its like my older shirts accumulated some smell prticles and i am not able to wash them out.

You guys got any tips how to counter this or do i have to throw out one of my favorite tshirts cause its at a point of no return?

increase your salt buy only 100% cotton clothes and use anti transpirant deodorant will kill most of the smell

My body odor is not the problem. Its the clothes that smells but only after it gets wet from sweat. Its like a sweat smell amplifier.

When i wear newer clothes or things i never worked out in theres no smell ever even if i am sweating hard.

your clothes are not 100% cotton then stop buying polyester shit my man it was the best thing i did

polyester makes you sweat more also retains sweat better making it smell

Idk its just weird to me that even after washing the clothes with 4 scoops CMON detergent it will still get that weird smell when i get a little active wearing it.

I noticed something similar but with black tshirts they always smell much more than white tshirts.

its the fkin polyester man, i had the exact same shit

check the label for 100% cotton before you buy anything now, if you can ditch the old clothes

I went to check todays shirt and the tag has actually washed out or maybe tore from the hundreds of squat sets and the barbell on top of it so i cant confirm the material.

I dont mind throwing shirts out and buying new ones from time to time. Its just this shirt has some nostalgia attached to it.

Just checked white and black are both 95% cotton 5% elastane but only black smells like few days old piss while white doesnt smell at all.

My shirt was 100% cotton.

Its just a unique property of the material i guess.

Wish there was something to do about it but i guess its time to buy a few new shirts and replace the old ones.

essential or very good readings for programming and training ?

pls reccomend me some that arent fucking 5/3/1

then its ur body odor man dont know wha tthe fks wrong with you lmao

old you was a sheep following trends, new you is the same.

It is not BO because in newer clothes i dont smell at all and they dont smell at the end of my workout.

And my non-workoit clothes is all fine and ive been pretty sweaty in those too.

Its just the workout tshirts have been bombarded by sweat so much that they soaked it in or something and it’s impossible to wash out eventually.

are powerlifters the gamers

Probably your diet since certain foods affect smell but also just because you wash clothes, doesn’t mean you kill the bacteria that causes the smell. Try washing at a much higher temp.

My lifts are 145/83/140 and I can't seem to progress on my deadlifts. Even at 145 I can't even get it off the ground. I pull conventional. Do I need more volume or just be more patient off the floor? I'm scared that my back will end up in a compromising position if I just keep pulling without moving the bar

help it's super hot i'm a snownigga i can't deal with this shit
i have absolutely no appetite

Could be either or both. No way of knowing off the info you've given us.

How many reps of 105 kg are you doing per week?

>83kg bench
pls be a girl

Around 8 total.

140 flies off the ground. Basically RPE8 and my back stays extended throughout the lift. My knees and hips rise at the same time. At 145 I can't even get the bar off the floor.

>140kg dl
>rpe
yikes

That doesn't really clear anything up. We don't know how much volume you're doing and we don't know how patient you're actually being off the floor.

But as in all things, try harder.

>Can do 140kg RPE8, but not 145kg
>IDK what this retard talking about but must mean he can rep it out
>Google RPE8
>RPE 8: Very difficult; conversation requires maximum effort
>Near maximum effort at 140, why can't I do 145kg

Nigga, you stupid.

RPE 8 is opening lift tier in terms of difficulty.

You're using the cardio definitions of RPE (easily spotted because it's talking about holding a fucking conversation during the exercise), not the lifting one. RPE 8, assuming it's used right, would be 2 reps in the tank or about a single at 90%ish.

Which clearly isn't the case here but that's the idea.

>6/9 lifter

that's cardio RPE (which actually rates how hard something is)
lifting RPE actually rates how many reps you have left before failure, and skills be called RPHMRYHLBF (Rating Perceived How Many Reps You Have Left Before Failure)

i can see why they don't call it that though

What would you open at, for preference (assuming raw, I have an idea how much gear plays with the assumptions)?

A semi comfortable triple

How much are your s/b/d atm?

Who knows

RPE 8 speed is 'oof, bit heavy for an opener', it's a max effort triple. It shouldn't take too much to drop that to 'comfortable triple' territory though. Like the difference between 92% and 90%.

you should do some tests like heavy singles man to see where ur at

What are you training for lately? All round strength and mass?

Is garagebro here? I have a question

I have a damaged acl and small VL tear in my right leg and something in my neck thats causing pain in both elbows so testing isnt on the cards

Also why should I? Im not that bothered what my maxes are atm ive not got any comps in mind

Training for fun m8, havent been on a programme for about 5 months, just got a basic structure in my head

?

wtf how did you get those injuries man

how does it feel like being a carpet salesman, you fucking retard?

gbro ignore this retard its just the same loser hating on you like usual

No thats me and i dont feel like bugging him today

Leg injury was a misload on squats and my knee shifted forward in the hole

Neck is from driving 800-1000 miles a week

Pretty fucking good, 4 hour day today and earned £830 bonus

/plg/ is the no-garagebro-bully zone!

What do you think about conjugate style these days? Been thinking about giving it a go as I'm tired of high specificity training. Can I keep squat variations as the main max effort exercise (i.e. 1x2-4) and deadlift variations as the secondary exercise (4x6)?

alright numale

Attached: soygrin.png (527x503, 637K)

yeah for some reason my right quad gets strained noticeably more than my left i think i might be shifting my right knee forward in the hole

im not sure how to correct this

holy fuck look at that bloated face, must be the salt

I just tried snatches for the first time in my life and I must say they're fun. Gonna do them after deadlifts or something.

>Gonna do them after deadlifts or something.
So you'll be shit it snatches, and you'll miss out on additional deadlift volume that you could have done.

>Gonna do them after deadlifts or something.
Do them before deads

oh no!

"Why am I still intermediate, everyone must be on roids! I'm a GDE."

Lads just deadlifted 2500.

I actually hit 170kg bench natty if you think doing a bunch of snatches is going to influence your training in any way you're wrong

I tried to use leg drive on the bench yesterday and my leg stance was kinda wide. The moment I put any pressure on the bar my hips kill me.

I like it, but more specificity for raw and stick with variations for longer the less experienced you are

>picture from 2014, on a page ive updated 3 times in almost 2 years

Probably the hips, one side might be tighter

Lost 100m at the sand casino

FUCK

He means don't make your max effort variations too crazy. SSB squats in place of squats, instead of reverse band weight drop off box squats.

Less experienced lifters don't have to rotate max effort exercises as often. So you could do SSB squats 2 or 3 weeks in a row without getting too beat up.

Yeah, id also advise having one day of variation and one day of the comp lifts a week, like you said, push the variation for as many weeks as you can

that's exactly what I'm agreeing with. that's why I have the retarded frog giving a thumbs up.

Roid like a madman and become a strongman.

I don't speak incel, sorry

I'm feeling zero energy. Can barely keep my eyes opened. Don't take two caffeine pills at once kids, it's not worth it.
