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.
Need to straighten bar path and keep knees in the same position. Because they're falling forwards at the bottom should they always be there? Or should I focus on keeping them back?

Alexander Rodriguez
You have the rest of the board to blogpost, so fuck off.
Thomas Sullivan
Looks like form breakdown from maximal effort. Your quads look like they can take a lot of the load, but you're clearly not sinking into the hole and getting power out of the bottom. I'm assuming your working sets don't look the same way.
Alexander Smith
Download starting strength read the squat chapter and take notes.
Gavin King
That's the best part of the quote and why I posted it.
The bar isnt settled before you start the descent, youre moving around Your hips are really unstable, most probably weak Get a proper belt, a taper is only as effective as its narrowest point You dont open up very well, either tight adductors or weak glutes
Luis Bell
is that about sean or gbro?
Liam Walker
yes
Leo Edwards
Straight bar paths and sturdy knees will come you.
But only if you reply to this post with
>KEEP WOBBLING GYNO SHIRT
Carson Harris
They're shifting forward because you're not keeping your weight over mid foot the entire time. I used to have the same problem.
Ian Evans
DUDE HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SQUAT JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Tyler Sullivan
ur dum
yes
Robert Lewis
Unironically read Starting Strength chapter, it reminds you of lot of cues and guides for form.
Luis Hughes
>yes Is that about Sean specifically?
Chase Evans
You have had every opportunity to hang yourself too so why haven't you?
>be 39 >friend does weightlifting comp >go with more friends as surprise to root him on/support him >see that "masters" grouping is 40+ >see that i lift way more than the two dudes in that weight class (182 lbs, 10 lbs lighter than current weight)
soooooo pretty sure i'm gonna do a weightlifting competition next year. only thing that bugs me is you're required to wear a singlet. where's the best place to get a cheap one, as i don't feel like spending extra money just to get a medal for lols
Justin Diaz
what THE fuck is going on with your chin when the knee fucks up?
Is this autistic? Was thinking of going to the kinotorium once a week then to a pub just to get outside more tbqhwy

Eli Edwards
did a 145 ohp today with a really sore wrist
really bombed my front squats though im still learning i cant do much more than 135 rn without crumbling
James Cruz
wtf is going on with your belly?
Daniel Robinson
>all this bullying this is not the /plg/ I used to know.......................................... A place for frens.............................................
awful form, still squats more than most people itt
Colton Myers
I wouldn't call that a squat
Joseph Jones
pls be kg
Landon Miller
Overdid the bulking, I've put on 20kg bw since November. Recovered skelly
Jackson Sanchez
Pls be stone.
Jackson Gutierrez
it's close, with some tech adjustments he's going to be able to squat that to legal depth no problem
doesn't seem like he's been lifting for very long
Caleb Allen
How are your knee doms?
Owen Bennett
didn't you stop a think one time before turning into a water balloon?
Jacob Thompson
not really it's about everyone

Eli Gomez
he's not even fat man
Jacob King
his belly looks like someone put a rubber band around a water balloon, he is fat, maybe not by American standard, but world standard
Justin Gomez
Knees never hurt, it's weird. Definitely need to fix this before I get fucked up for real
Michael Parker
Any advice on meets in the LA area. I want to finally give it a go
Nathan Bennett

Sebastian Stewart
Reposting from old thread
I haven't deadlifted for a while, and been on and off squatting due to a knee injury. Deep flexion is painful, but deadlifting is ok. I'm planning on going up by 2.5kg every session, with 2-3 sessions a week. Is this stupid and will I snap or is it +450 wilks territory?
Grayson Morales
Agreed, I have fully visible abs and I look like such a fat fuck with a belt on, being in the bottom of a squat wouldn't help much either.
Austin Sanders
>-Jim "grab life by the pussy" Wendler It's nor like you are getting any, power coper.
Luis Gomez
this, wtf? He looks like a pretty normal dude and there's nothing that horribly wrong about his form. He probably squats more than 90% of /plg/.
Taking the worst squat form in /plg/ achievement from me is rude desu.
In all seriousness, what do your sub maximal squats look like?
Sebastian Cruz
...
Adrian Gonzalez
Are you another one of those pretend powerlifters who has no concept of hypertrophy? You saw a chart that high repetitions are good for endurance and so now you're going to speculate in between sets of 175 lb on bench press?
Christopher Hughes
I was joking you dense fuck.
Bentley Jones
Not him, but you can never be sure on plg.
Kayden Bailey
Poe's Law.
It's impossible to tell who's retarded on purpose and retarded on accident around here anymore.
Samuel Jackson
This is the first video I've taken, should have done it ages ago. I'll check tomorrow.
It's probably bad, but nowhere this bad. Got through that lift with retard strength alone
Joseph Cooper
You've got to keep your knees back and out better. While trying to keep the entirety of your back as tight as possible. And probably lower the weight a bit for a short period to clean it up and get better at hitting depth.
And Jim Wendler is a fat bitch.
Chase Johnson
damn i forgot what can i fill it with
Michael James
"Bottom Text"
Henry Wright
I notice something new here every time I watch it.
read Starting Strength's Squat chapter, its great. Congratz for 200kg.
Elijah Cox
Jim Wendler weighs less than you, you retarded squat Mong
Xavier Myers
The single fact that you didn't die with this form at 1RM attempt with 200kg on your joints, ligaments, knees, hip makes me believe that you will continue to squat successfully to far future.
Jaxson Stewart
Is that you? Unfortunate face.
Camden Collins
I weigh 225 lbs now. That fresh new 102 kg weight class for PATRICIAN LIFTERS.
Google says Wendler is 240 lbs. And 5'10'', the fucking manlet.
Caleb Diaz
how the fuck do you get your hands that close
i can't lowbar for the life of me
Christian Rogers
This is clean, going to polish mine up to look this good hopefully
Camden Brooks
At least 75 lb of your 225 has to be in your ass alone, because it sure as hell isn't in your arms, chest, or back
I think Wendler has decided to see his children grow into adulthood, so I think he cut down to around 200 lb
Alexander Rivera
He has really good shoulder mobility. Low bar is cake desu
>Clean >Hips shoot back and knees cave somewhat Makes me think
Kevin Wilson
as many as he can physically handle just like all strongmen and SHW powerlifters
Hunter Sanchez
Compared to what I posted? It's certainly better.
Daniel Peterson
Show me someone squatting near their max without either of those happening.
Ian Cook
Please please please please please don't comment about squat form.
Cameron Collins
>Low bar is cake desu i've tried to transition to lowbar from high bar like 3 times in the past 5 years, miserable failure everytime once i get to heavy (for me not for someone who isn't shit) weights
It only happens because he's an incel with long cuck femurs
Mason Jackson
Not the guy you reply to, or either of the squat .webm posters -
I can't even get to high bar form. I have similar proportions to Layne Norton / Pollack. It's a complete double fold at the bottom.. kek
Luke Morales
>cake >can't low bar squat 2x bw
Really makes me think
Jacob Reyes
Very true
Wasn't that an @9 single?
But I actually squat well now
Bodyweight multipliers are for twinks and don't count. However, since you're a twink, that makes you not being able to bench 1.5x bw really bad
Eli Sanders
I'm around 93kg here btw, was considering losing some of the fat. But I don't want to get weak either. Any tips for maintaining strength while cutting?
Juan Jackson
Drugs
Henry Lewis
>being that fat at 93kg YIKES
Zachary Ross
40g of Glycine a day, gotcha
Carson Allen
Maintain volume to be as close to what you normally do as you can, lowering intensity a little isn't a big deal long term
