/plg/ - powerlifting general

Anyone else triggered by the comments in this video?

No, because I am not an autistic person.

Why did you only do 3 sets of pressing

idk if replies carried over

I wasn't refuting your claim, just asking for explanation

I guess im just used to being disagreed with no matter what in plg so naturally go on the defensive

it's a retarded comparison

Can someone criticize my deadlift form?
This video is with 55kg: streamable.com/0cjf4
And this one is with 113kg: streamable.com/6hdia
How bad is it?

ye that's sort of what this place is about lol

also I drink upwards of 10L water a day so I'm probably already low on salts, been adding lite salt (potassium chloride mixed in with sodium chloride) but it's prob not enough

Who cares? The only thing that matters is who is moving the most weight. Larry Wheels is comprable to Mike Tyson or Bo Jackson within their respective sports. He's an absolute anomaly of an athlete, regardless of PEDs

either you're fatter than you look or you're rounding your lower back a lot. hard to tell.

It's bad, but easily improvable over time.

You need to think of your arms like ropes with all the slack pulled out of them. You need to get your hips closer to the bar, so consider narrowing your stance and driving your knees outwards. Try these form changes to get your chest up, and try just pulling the bar an inch off the floor with baby weight and holding the position for a couple seconds

>The only thing that matters is who is moving the most weight
wrong you juice monkey nut hugger

Larry Wheels might be the most dominant powerlifter of all time. I'm not hugging his nuts, the guy is a fucking anomaly

also he will tear a quad or pec in his next meet and take years to return back to strength

no he's not he's going to tear a muscle and vanish into irrelevance like every tren snorter

Are you stupid friend? The amount of weight you move is the only thing that matters as long as you clear the technical specifics of the lifts in this sport.

I have some huge love handlers.
I try and point my feet slightly diagonally outwards so I can sit lower. I guess I need to sit even lower then

Being a bitter cunt isn't going to make you any stronger compared to Larry Wheels

>as you clear the technical specifics of the lifts in this sport
he competes in a druggo fed and in no way can be compared to ray williams because of lack of strict judging and no testing

Your torso angle looks horizontal right after the pull because you aren't pulling the slack out of the bar, so your chest doesn't rise with your hips

You just have to be comfortable and patient in the starting position so you can drive the bar off the ground instead of yanking it

Everyone on plg is an insecure retard

Lmao

Imagine believing this.

i failed 3*5 80kg on Monday.. got 5+5+3. now i leaned forward lot more like lot lot more
i did 1*3. 55kg 5+5+4 is my best press but now i failed on first set so i just dropped rest of the sets.

Every Federation has PED users. The rules between federations are 99% comprable.

He is going to be king roid monkey compared to all the previous roid monkeys that have ever been. That still means something.

You don't have to like the man, but you would be a fool to not respect him for what he does

You can't argue. We will never know what he was capable of off of steroids, but he is clearly one of the most gifted and hard-working lifters of all time. He makes Jesse Norris look like a hack.

Ive started using lo salt almost exclusively to reduce water retention, works pretty well

>most dominant powerlifter of all time

Hes only competed 13 times and is 19th in the world on wilks...

I should say that he is potentially capable of becoming one of the most dominant powerlifters of all time, but we might not ever know if he keeps prepping for bodybuilding shows

Most dominant, really?

How about people in the ipf who have won over ten World championships. Each of them are far more dominant because they're not a flash in the pan.

Btw lolfed ALL TIME is bullshit, shallow talent pool.

>hard-working
Oh lawdy ask me how I know you're American.

Is this the stuff you use intra workout?

same preparation for powerlifting when it comes to druggos, blast as much shit as you can and hope you don't tear a bicep or drop dead

shouldn't you be in work islet

I also don't think my deadlift on firday is going to work for shit : (

only way it "feels" good is if i start with my ass hitched up

if i start it like "normal" deadlift where you kind of have to extend your legs it all goes to FUCK and hurts bad

Maybe most potential to be dominant, but definitely not the most dominant right now. He is 23 years old. Retard.

I'm just finishing lunch and I finished all the work for one of our clients, so I'm taking my time writing an email to their project manager about what was done.

Oh jesus.

>book day off work
>obscure date

Mate I've never seen a comp happen on a weekday outside of internationals

>roids everywhere
Don't go lolfed then dummy

>red lights
There are rules other than depth you know, commands, locking knees, not stumbling, elbows not hitting thighs.

You also get white lights, not green lights.

Basically you made this shit up and everyone can tell. Good LARP.

>how dare you have a bad experience
>you must have made this up

This was a SPF meet so it was proper. You are just an annoying retard.

>SPF
>proper

They're known to be a total laughing stock.

I order from bulk powders, and the electrolyte powder is trash, half of it is filler.

I use this
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/251113202730

What do you recommend? Deload and focus on form or just adjust while progressing?

I'm for your own sake hoping this is made up, otherwise you may have an intellectual disability. You spent "a couple hundred bucks" to participate in a competition without even being aware it's several days, or even familiarizing yourself with the rules?

Cheers mate

Yep, its definitely the sports fault

seems difficult to find an equivalent here. It's absurd how nutrient dense that is compared to something like this though, albeit without the dextrose:
woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/262843/powerade-mountain-blast-powder

It literally is the sports fault, that's how they are idiot.

Sounds like you had no idea what you were doing and picked the wrong place to go

Thats cause what youve linked is a sports drink

Like i said, ive taken to just putting 4g of losalt in a half gallon jug and salting all my meals heavily, works just as well and cheaper

Holy fuck just fell in love with this wheyfu

Life ain't fair boys

How can you invest so much time and money to end up not knowing the rules

Greentext the other meets you went to that were like that

>go to meet recently
>it's on the weekend, no need to take off work
>it's a 3 hour drive away, but in my home town and I went with friends and got to see my family
>weigh ins occurred, had an equipment check
>then had a rules explanation for everybody that was competing in their first meet
>people were nice and helpful regardless of how strong they were or where they expected to finish
>adequate space and equipment for warmups for everyone
>smashed PRs and had a great time
>got pizza and beer with the bros after
How did your last meet go /plg/?

Only reason you had fun is because you went with friends. Meets are the animecons of powerlifting. Stupid normie shit.

It was a year and a half ago

>drive to the other end of the country
>weigh in at a bloated 120
>no ac in hotel, no sleep
>fed had bought new equipment, doubles of everything so everything in warm up area was identical to the platform
>25kg comp squat pb
>5kg comp bench pb, narrowly missed a 20kg pb
>lose 20kg off my dead due to bloated gut and swollen fingers
>nice sunday night drive home on empty motorways

So I've been lifting around 5 months now, basically did SS -> AI coaching (3x deadlift/week, 3x squat/week) which is a lot more volume that im used to. Now i've been running this for 5 weeks and I've had DOMS in my quads for all of those weeks. Also I feel some minor pain in a couple of areas, how do i know if i should man up or drop intensity/volume?

All women online are mega hoes and I'm worried secretly they're just as bad in real life too

>dumb uni intermural meet
>not allowed to use chalk
>scoring based on "percent of bodyweight" for inclusiveness bc fuck weight classes
>only got 2 attempts
>squatting high af and bouncing bar off chest for deads
Went 3 for 6 bc i had no idea how to plan attempts, was my first real meet. Still placed 3rd for deads tho which was cool

>bouncing bar off chest for deads
I NEED video of this

Fuck meant bench

>punched your friend in the face and gave him a black eye
You forgot something

I'll start to go to the gym on Saturdays just to do upper body exercises I like and get ze pump

>skipping overhead deadlifts

Woah woah woah wtf? Was it you? I always knew ma hated manlets, but this is too much.

WTT
Sumo DL (forgot my belt from home so went beltless) 1@8, -20% 5x5

ohh great mikey how do I achieve your squat

fikclig lost it

If you really would read the reactive training manual, wich propably nobody does, you will notice that he also suggest you just pick your rep ranges randomnly. Its pretty nice, for people like me who love to program hop. Ever since I did that I made progress, but it kept me fresh.

I did and he meant it also for emerging strategies, you just do 1@8 and than pick rep range you want to use like 5x5 -20% but when it stalls you can change to 3x8 -28% or 3x3 -15% followed by 2x10% -32% or whatever the fuck you want, just do pivot and continue + after pivot change your accesories aka variations

Yeah its pretty awesome. I hated spreadsheets all the time, but didnt knew how to figure rpe out. Its really nice.

On weakness of emerging strategies or smth like that Mike said that everyone is diffrent and he encourages everyone to try diffrent rep ranges with diffrent tactics beacuse everyone respons diffrently and you should find stuff you respond best to. Like find your number 1 go to and save it to few weeks before competition

Is there a small drill I can do before squats that will help me keep a solid neutral trunk? can’t seem to control the lower part of my abs/pelvis.

Thats no weakness, it may take several years to learn to train yourself or what you need volume intensity wise, but its the only way you can get really really strong, besides having a very good coach.

that its not a weakness its just name of the podcast where he said with bryce lewis and greg nuckols and discussed emergin strategies, this two were meant to point out flaws

Yeah I read that wrong.Did a fucking post nut nap and now I am feeling funny

Yeah, it still looks pretty rough. At least it doesn't hurt at all and didn't affect my meet performance.

I had a good session pumping iron now time to pump my dick

AI coaching has fatigue ratings for this exact reason. Put your fatigue higher and it drops the volume for you.

Is there AI stuff out already and do you need to buy it or will it be on volafile?

What hell is AI coaching

You'd need to buy but it's like a dolla a day.
