There are people in this thread RIGHT NOW who have never and will never compete in a powerlifting meet.

How do I know when I'm ready? World Class on symstr?

i signed up but i got benched to reserve list reee

While many of you will simply test your numbers in the weight room I would HIGHLY encourage you to find a powerlifting meet in your area and compete. You don’t have to be a certain strength to compete against yourself or the bar. You don’t have to worry about being laughed at because if you show up and put your balls on the line EVERYONE at the meet will have respect for you.

This is because people who compete know that it is not easy. The people with fake message board names who sit behind keyboards criticizing people who compete are cancerous. The only reason why they internet-kneecap is because they hate themselves so much for being so pathetic and weak. Men compete physically and mentally. They strive to be better in mind and body, and competing is hard.

i'm doing my first at the end of this year : )

i also have a 275 bench currently so i expect the big men there to laugh and point if i don't get my shit together

Cut to 8% brahs, don’t be a fatboy

Not worth breaking your dick over.

As long as you're not a sack of shit who can't run a few miles, nobody cares besides gay men.

Anyone have any particular opinions of the Barbell Medicine hypertrophy gpp template?

Hehe, it's okay lad I failed that at my first meet.

>compete in a strength sport
>hinder your strength by going too lean

jimmy boy disagrees
apparently "some people are just too fat to run a mile, and that's ok" LOL

How about you. What do you run a mile in? What are your lifts?

If you grip something too hard for too long that doesn't have an ergonomic grip that's not an unlikely happening. I wouldn't think about it too much unless it keeps happening.

Yeah I'm not willing to spend money on this hobby. I competed plenty of times and everytime I was paid to do so.

less than you, and more than you.
my dick is aldo 6'4", and i fucked your mom before breakfast this morning.

got any arguments?

Roll. If I can't DL it that's how many metres I have to run instead

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.

Hello mounties? It's Cavi, Yeah, I'm getting my ass fucking kicked, it's August 31st, send help

For real though, bench is an impressive lift to watch when it's set up aesthetically.

thats sumo deadlift though

bench is literally the ugliest lift
you have to lay on a fucking bench
it looks fucking gay

most aesthetic lifts imo are the snatch and the strict press

yes you can have too much salt

>powershitting is called "athletic force" in french
>"""""athletic"""""
wtf

You are like a little baby. We call it "dynamic triathlon"

we literally call it strength tri-fight

what joke of a country is that

>triathlon
Gee, I couldn't guess in a 1000 years.

ah yes literally only one country on the world does triathlons, literally only one does burgers, and so on

Just search the root of the word brainlet.

>Triathlon is considered by some to have its beginnings in 1920sFrance.[6]According to triathlon historian and authorScott Tinley(and others[7]), the origin of triathlon is attributed to a race during the 1920s–1930s that was called variously "Les trois sports", "La Course des Débrouillards", and "La course des Touche à Tout." This race is held every year in France nearJoinville-le-Pont, inMeulanandPoissy.
>An earlier tri-sport event in 1902 featured running, cycling, and canoeing.[7]There are documented tri-sport events featuring running, swimming, & cycling (not necessarily in that order) in 1920, 1921, 1945, and the 1960s.[7]In 1920, the French newspaperL´Autoreported on a competition called "Les Trois Sports" with a 3km (1.9mi) run, 12km (7.5mi) bike, and a swim across the channelMarne. Those three parts were done without any break.

hmmmmmm...

For fucks sake
>A triathlon is a multisport race with three continuous and sequential endurance races.[1] The word is of Greek origin, from τρεῖς or treis (three) and ἆθλος or athlos (competition).[2]

"hamburger" comes from the german city of hamburg
that surely means american-style burgers are actually german, right?

now shitposting aside
i don't see how that is relevant
triathlon isn't something thing greeks invented a long ass time ago, it was made up by frenchies a hundred years ago, and named after greek words to sound posh

a greek using the word triathlon (except when talking about actual triathlon) is pretty much reverse engrish

Competing in 2 weeks

Help plg

I used to squat 405lb x5. I hurt my back a few times and now I am mentally fucked. I’m trying to build back up but it feels terrible. I always hurt myself in the bottom of my squat. Today I squatted 195lb 3x5 and I was worried about hurting myself every rep and felt super shakey and unstable. How do I get around this? My plan was just to linearly add 10lb to my squat each session squatting twice a week. Has anyone dealt with this before? Literally just feels like I can’t squat anymore.

Deads, while weaker than they used to be as well, feel fine and don’t mess with me mentally.

use babyweight (and i mean it)
do some low-rep sets of squats every day or so, actively think about form and about "hey this is super light and my form is perfect, i can't hurt myself"
turn up the weight little by little
eventually you'll be confident in your squats, and then you can get on a proper LP again

Goblet squat. 50-100 reps every session. Add weight every session. Start from 5lbs.

I did two sets with my 3RM for OHP today

During both of my last reps I felt a deep pain in my stomach, like the lingering pain after someone kicks you in the balls but not as bad. wtf was that

Could be Ligma.

When filming squats to go over depth, whats the best way to set it up? Also is there a way to tell if the hip crease below the knee?

ok reddo

Set a box at parallel.
Touch it with your whole ass.
Stand up with no guesswork.

just woke up with some masked guy trying to break my front door

not sure what to do rn

Kiss your ass goodbye

>also UK
It was obvious

what stats do I need to repel a home invasion?

lmao1gun
butter knife won't cut it

>gun

Great way to get you and your whole family killed desu. A dog that sounds big and intimidating is probably the best insurance.

Not gonna lie, never heard something this dumb. If someone wants to kill you they will fucking kill you if anything gun is the only thing that might protect you.

>have gun
>have to keep it in locked safe or else could fall into wrong hands (child)
>have to worry about shooting unintended target
>have to worry about bullets passing through walls
>no early warning system

>have big ol doggo
>early warning
>barking will frighten most would be home Invaders away and alert neighbors
>is a weapon itself
>can leave unattended around people you trust and nothing bad will happen

Guns have their uses, in the hands of an average citizen, home defence is not one of them.

Yeah tell that to my grandparents who had 3 dogs all 3 poisoned day before they got robbed. Maybe if they had a gun they wouldn't be beaten for hours while being asked if they're not hiding anything.

>shoots your dog
pssh nothing personal kid

You can find just about any piece of anecdotal information to fit any argument.

In just about any neighborhood multiple 911 calls would come in as soon as that shot is fired.

And yet you still havent provided a single real argument how dog would be better than a gun. Like I said if someone wants to rob you they're gonna rob you dog is not gonna save you, gun might.

Where the fuck do you people live that your constantly worried about people breaking into your house.

We don't even lock our doors

Where you live bro, just gonna go for a visit ;)

Should I become a prison officer?

I'm 19 and it pays above average... I'm a dumb kid, seems like fun

wrong board. fuck off, dumb shit.

Squat with belt, do abs, do reverse hypers(if you have that machine), squat 3 times a week, learn how to brace

I started mewing yesterday but now my jaw and tongue dont feel comfortable anywhere.
my jaw feels awkward if I move it back to where I was keeping it before
I hope this shit is worth it

Germany

Find a similar exercise that cause no pain and build volume on that. No point doing high rep sets on an exercise that has fucked you up because you’ll just ingrain bad movement patterns. Build muscle with a similar exercise, then when you’re stronger and bigger try squatting again

Maybe add smaller weights every time? Maybe add 5lbs, like nearly every program that has linear progression.

Why don't you superset triceps with chinups instead of triceps and curls at the end of your upper workouts for arms? Arent's chins just overall a better lift than curls?

Same here, Aussie regional city. Worst suburb had ~700 police calls last year, mine had 2.

The best home defense is a job that pays well enough to live away from the trash.

Just move to a neighborhood where all your neighbors agree to shoot pieces of shit that dont belong.

I dont do chins, if i want to build my arms ill train my arms, if i want to build my lats ill train my lats

Arms tire too quickly in chins to properly hit the lats, heavier you get the quicker this happens and it becomes a pretty inefficient movement

I was talking doing chins for biceps, not for lats. But you also get some spinal decompression, some more lats work, some core work. It just seems to me like a better finisher for biceps, since they are the first muscle to tire out.
