/plg/ - powerblogging genitals

says the boomer . black was my second choice but i want to be able to wear it even if its a little warmer. Black sweatshirts can only be worn if the weather legit calls for it

Oh boo hoo faggot, black goes well with anything meanwhile your other gay ass colors only go well with your BBC dildo collection

from last post "4 plate bench is rare"

sure but not in a powerlifters group...

literally only children have posters of things in their walls

I want to cum deep inside a woman's vagina

based grandpa

oil is less dense than water, so if you want to cut you need to drink oil instead of water
y/n

>sure but not in a powerlifters group...

This "powerlifters group" is mostly people who refuse to eat, and also me. No one is going to have a 4PLAYT bench press.

back when I was here, there was atleast 3 of us here.

Did Norsefat have a 4plaet bench?

Hey plg

I’m having some pain on the side of my right shoulder. It’s been on going for 8 weeks now. Originally bothered me the day after doing some log presses, hurt so bad I couldn’t squat. But I didn’t feel a pop or anything the day of. All pressing hurts, bench, ohp, dumbbells, etc. Rowing motions feel fine. My ROM is good, I can raise my arm fully over my head.

Anyone dealt with this before? Any suggestions?

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.

Can't tell if this is troll or not because I haven't read the whole thread. But 1000 lb+ conventional dl is way more impressive than say, a 500+ lb bp. At least to me

t. manlet with shit lifts that include an embarrassing 185lb deadlift and a 95 pound bench press

Well that answered my question lol, troll confirmed, have a nice day

>i have no argument and am too much of a chicken shit to even muster an attempt, sir

your embarrassing lifts are noted and your admission of defeat is accepted.

Bench press is a cope meme for people who lack the muscle mass to lift weight that isn't bitch weight. Their total failure at being a Man leads them to do gimmicky bullshit with the shortest ROM possible, relatively little muscle mass, and no useful movement pattern for actual sports, all in all basically a glorified accessory exercise, and claim it matters. These dirt dwelling plebs are inherently scared of anything weighing over 400 lbs, due to abusive relationships with their incredibly overweight mothers.

Deadlifts, however, are the working class lift. A simple lift for simple people, there's no getting around the raw, feral strength required to deadlift well.

Squats are a combination of the greatest muscle mass, purest technical proficiency, and highest level of mental focus. Truly the King of exercise and the one, true Patrician lift, one must be not only strong but also in total physical control as one lowers the weight of the world into the hole, if they hope to recover, and not have their dreams of squat excellence literally crushed under unforgiving gravity. Those that excel at squats should encourage and guide the Deadlift working class, and have sympathy and patience for the Bench Only GDE peasants, for they know not what they do, and understand not what complete failures of men they really are.

tl;dr version: "my bench is total shit and my other lifts are also terrible, but less terrible, in my own mind, anyway"

Oi cunts is Hepburn still a viable method for 3x week squatting (front/back/front, back/front/back) on an 8x2-3 + backoffs

Consider that I've budgeted around 6 months for this and I'll be pulling 3xweek too

rear delt work
long or short band?
which colour/resistance?
pls respond

I just use a blue rogue band to do band pullaparts, that's all I do

I fucked up lads
I’ve been recuperating my knee from motorbike accident for the past 3 months during which i did feet up bench only exclusively
(Ive only began to do feet down like starting last week)
Yesterday i finally got the green light from my doc and this morning i tried squatting my deload weights minus 20 lbs and i literally could not even get it up for a single.
The thing that shocked me the most was how i felt like i didnt give a shit
I went home and finally realized i dont actually give a fuck about squats
Only very little fucks for deads
And i really only care enough for bench
I contemplated long and hard to start doing bench only.

Im torn . On one hand idgaf about squats and deads
On the other hand just casually throwing away my 3x BW squat feels very wasteful.
Please roast me back into my own senses guys.
Call me Squatlet or what have you

You'd be goddamn retarded to give up squats and an even bigger retard to give up dl's. Get used to buying bras, and staying small the rest of your life. no squats, no dls, no gains.

No. Stop.

the big 3 all improve each other in some way, shape or form so a shit squat + a shit deadlift = shit bench. there's that one exception where the guy has no legs (not "skinny", but literally incapable of walking due to missing most of his flesh and bone legs) but a beast bench press, so if you wanna just chop them off and compete in the handicapped olympics or something then go for it, otherwise, don't be a little faggot.

i don't know if you're lying to try and "motivate" him as he asked but this is total bullshit lmao

back to your containment board, be better not bitter

post your body and your lifts

Your joints will be ground to dust and you’ll burn out quickly. Why not reduce to 2x a week with 60-80% intensity and plenty of volume, then you’ll build more muscle which will lend itself to better strength gains when you do a program with higher intensity in the future?

two options:

a) you're actually just despondent about the strength you've lost on squats so you have a 'fuck it' attitude. if that's the case, stop being a pussy and just train again with no ego, strength comes back in scenarios like this obscenely quickly, noob gains tier

b) you're being honest with yourself and you actually don't care, in which case yeah of course, drop them and focus on bench. this is barely a sport, much more of a hobby, and if you're not doing something you care about for a hobby then that's dumb af

>i have been lifting for a couple of months, so you see, my 1 plate bench and my *ahem* TWO (2) plate squat says that you don't know what you're talking about, heh

why are the clueless novices with embarrassing lifts always the quickest to expose how ignorant and uneducated they are?

do unimaginative people just copy and paste these responses in response to being called out it's so fucking bored

please expand on how not training squats and deadlifts guarantees a shit bench

>i am a passive aggressive crybaby
>now please do my homework for me, sir

nope. your being too stupid to figure it out means you're definitely shit at the big 3. gj exposing yourself. start coping, retard.

kys urself my man

90% of regular gym goers neither squat or deadlift and their bench is probably higher relative to bodyweight than yours you fat sack of shit. It’s so easy to see you’re one of those ‘lmao eatmoar do SS then TM and be fat with zero muscle like me’ stupid bloatlords

so i'm recovering from stupid ass knee tendonitis that i triggered by upping squat volume too quickly. didn't really do anything full retard since it's a preexisting weakness i've caused by running in the past but still managed to trigger it

now after a few weeks deloading my shit and switching to low bar i feel as if squats aren't very aggravating anymore and i'm getting better by the day

regular deadlifts are also cool, however my favorite variation, the snatch grip dl, kind of aggravates my knees and i'm thinking of scrapping it for now

any way to build power off the floor without increasing range of motion (and having to squat down deeper)? i'm thinking of switching to paused deadlifts even though i fucking hate doing them. you guys reckon there'll be any more stress on the knees doing a paused deadlift than a regular?

feel free to disregard this blog since i'm just gonna test this shit out for myself today anyways

Daily reminder you need to build muscle with high volume training before you increase its force output through higher intensity work. If you fail to build the muscle, you’ll waste your beginner gains on SS and hit the evermediate wall, which requires a good muscular foundation to get through. Then, fucking idiots from /plg/ will tell you to eat more and more, and you’ll wind up eating 4000+ calories a day, burning out every other week, and getting fatter and more disgusting by the day

i don't have an argument so i'll just throw out third grader insults, the post

done with the conversation unless you want to really btfo me by actually saying something with substance

"waste your beginner gains"

do us all a favor and explain what you mean here in physiological terms

Neuromuscular adaptations are the fastest when starting working out, everyone knows this. That’s why it’s possible to see people have 2x or 3x their squat for example after a few months of training. Take someone who’s trained for a few years and see if they can double their squat in the same time frame

>beginning new mesocycle (high reps) with new inflated as fuck e1RM
>most murderous squat day I remember
>woke up after less than 5 hours of sleep with burning down my quads and couldn't go back to sleeping
Should I say goodbye to my gains? pls no, I worked hard for once

you're making it out as if beginner gains are some kind of time-limited bonus you get in your first few months of training

rather, it's just that the initial adaptions to strength training come far quicker than later adaptations

if you train like garbage for 6 months then you're still gonna have some quick adaptations left in you if you haven't made the strength gains yet

none of this has to do with getting stuck at an intermediate level, it doesn't matter how you get there or long it has taken

Look at all the posters here stuck at intermediate level, without exception they are all 15%+ bodyfat with too little muscle, and did SS or similar. If these people had taken the time to do high volume bodybuilding style training, this general wouldn’t be as shit as it is now. People perpetuate the problems here by offering shit advice, then wonder why the place has a handful of advanced lifters, and mostly evermediates who spout the same shitty advice that is getting them nowhere

There is literally only one strong person in this general and it's Sam. Everyone else is weak.

What are his lifts and bodyweight?

Something like 385/220/320 @ 140?

(KG)

Relative to bodyweight (this is /plg/ after all) arent you almost as strong??

You should be coupling that high volume with a lot of calories. Or do you think the muscle with just materialize out of the aether?

definitely touched a nerve with these 2 fat, ignorant morons who can't bench for shit and don't seem to know why LMFAO.

i guarantee you little faggots look like shit, have been lifting for less than 3 months and have cringe worthy lifts.

Attached: 1500238879872.jpg (755x696, 93K)

Im 114kg, sam lifts in wraps so if you say 30 out of wraps id be about 300/190/320 if you gave me 6 weeks to peak

Based on those numbers
516 wilks for sam
471 for me

Yeah but Sam is natty so you should take away 30kg from your total :)

>please expand on how not training squats and deadlifts guarantees a shit bench

t. moron who doesn't know what leg drive and upper back stability do for bench press. now pipe down and stop being an obnoxious brat.

Sam loves tren a lot

how many calories do you all eat daily

i feel super weak at 2000 and i'm realizing that i should probably eat more even if i'm losing weight

4000, but i had over 5000 yesterday by accident

do you have any evidence, just because he's stronger than you doesnt mean hes on roids. Be better not bitter ;)

What beginner needs 4000+ calories to build muscle you fucking idiot. Only fatlords or advanced lifters need calories that high. This is you idiots problem, instead of cutting to a decent bodyweight then bulking slowly, you’d rather fatlord up to 20%+ bodyfat and need a ridiculous amount of calories to progress

If losing weight too fast or you feel too shit doing it, add 150 calories per week until you’re at a decent energy level, and the weight is still coming off albeit slower

I was eating about 3500-4000kcal when I first started lifting and never got fat

We've literally had arguments on plg about tren where hes been open about his love of liquid gold

I personally dont think its that useful for strength, he thinks its great. Now if you want to pile on tissue it is second to none

Then you must have already been fat lmao, or worked in a warehouse

stop projecting you sound bitter not better.

Trying to help people become better by telling them fatmaxxing is not the answer to the evermediate question

yeah but 4000kcal is nothing when you're even remotely active. I guess if you just sit on your ass whole day and go to the gym for one hour then yeah you will get fat, but I really hope no one here does that.

I’m 93kg and work in a factory as a technician 60 hours per week, and 4000 calories is a bulk for me.

>What beginner needs 4000+ calories to build muscle you fucking idiot

The discussion was explicitly about post-beginner lifters. A fat load of volume is going to burn plenty of calories to start with, and then you probably still need to be gaining weight at a slow pace. At any rate, you wouldn't want to LOSE weight unless you were a super fat slob to start with.

Must be genetics then or maybe it's the fact that I was active my whole life.

An early intermediate only needs 4000+ if he is 200cm tall or fat. Much more benefit dieting to around 10% bodyfat, then slowly increasing calories and gaining weight at a decent pace doing plenty of assistance volume. Rather than being fat and too scared to cut so just eating more and hovering around 80-90% intensity to burn out every couple of weeks. Then posting here their evermediate stats, with a shit ratio to bodyweight, and idiots recommend them to eat even more lmao

>t. Lanklet
We all know faggots that make posts like this are nigger lovers that are less than mediocre at everything in life

He’s right, no one gives a shit that you’ve been on this planet for any length of time and achieved absolutely fuck all. Fuck off unless you’ve got something interesting to say, and even then, post without the trip you joke

You must be geneticslet then. I'm 80 kg and sit on my arser at work and lay in bed at home and apart from lifting 4 days and 1 h of swimming per day I do nothing, and been eating 3700 recently and still dropping although trying to gain more. I don't even have thwt much lean mass desu

You must be severely overestimating the amount of calories you eat. See above, garagebro is 114kg and losing weight at 4000 calories. So for him to weigh almost 50% more than you, and you apparently lose weight with almost the same calories as he does, something doesn’t add up

Nothing says geneticslet than being 80kg and losing weight at 3700 calories lmao get your thyroid checked

B-b-but I have a 4pl8 bench

That's good tho, means he can eat shitton recover properly and still lose fat.

I dont lose weight at 4000?

I could probably drop it a little more, the body likes homeostasis

Recovery is hampered in a deficit, which means he would need to eat more than 3700 calories just to maintain his 80kg bodyweight, that’s not easy for someone that small with, according to him, not much lean mass

Didn’t you just say a few days ago you were cutting? 117-114?

Oh shit. You might be right and I might be wrong. But got my blood test done a few weeks ago and everything was spot on

How can you eat 1k calories more by accident?

What’s your bodyfat percentage? And be honest with yourself

Binge

Idk 20? Might be a projection but I look a bit fluffy yes but not a complete fat ass

Then if I were you I’d cut until realistically 10%, then you can slowly gain weight without having to be in the 4000 calorie region at 80kg

Hate cutting pal desu. Was doing 1500 calories diets when I was a newbie and I'm pretty sure that fucked up my mind and metabolism, now even slightest deficit for a while makes me grumpy and fucks me up.

Also I haven't even got 3/2/4 lmao so I would like to build somehow decent strength base and then go from there
