/PLG/ - Powerlifting General

"If I lift?" What stupid kind of question is that? Come meet me irl and you will know better than asking stupid questions like that. I bet i could bench 1,5 times more than you easily. And don't get me started on squat and deadlift, you don't wanna embarrasse yourself, now got to the back of the bus!
What was that? You giving me lip boy? Ok you asked for it, tomorrow, 4am in the gym. And no excuses this time, cause I will find you, I have a friend how is an expert doxxer, so don't think that you are ever safe from me.
Oh you can't come tomorrow? Classic excuses. No wonder you are a weak twink, and not a warrior like me. Now stop, before you embarrass yourself even more.

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.

Wrong. Post body. Every chad I know squats

It seems rather clear that your lats aren't engaged worth a shit and you don't get enough sun. Learn to tighten your ENTIRE FUCKING BACK and go outside.

explain why everything is in 5s aside from ohp

Shoulders untrained in the past, looking for more mass than strength in that area atm, changing it in coming months.

Also shoulder murdered once in bench, arm went above my shoulder with the weight coming down so its still a bit messed up and doesnt like big weights.

Awkward as fuck honestly
Thank fuck this happened when stopped at a red light or I might have crashed it

nice blog

The only people who care about squats are fat manlets who cant bench or deadlift

>tl;dr retards

Projection, and not an argument. Also probably shit squat form.

Post lifts or gb2/lbgt/

hey tripshit, i dont owe you anything. now post lifts/body or fuck off.

Thanks buddy

Squiiiiiiissssh kleeerrrrplunk!

Looks like I’m back on the morning disposal routine for Norman khan

Hmmm was that it for the khan? Only a few logs splurted out into the toilet

Anime is trash and kills gains.

i tried 4x bench a week for 2months barely made any gains

Now gonna try 2x a week maybe i overdid it

On hahaha righteous dude calibunga

tfw rotating exercise selection besides comp lifts not cause of boredom or diminishing returns, but simply cause I'm a masochistic faggot who genuinely enjoys being sore like in ye olde novice days

Its more fun to rotate assistance by what makes you go hard at this session than to autistically program everything.
Where do you live? Adjusting your dick in a car is certainly not a "wtf thing"

Thoughts on Sheiko’s new book?

It's a great cash grab to take advantage of early intermediate, pretentious autists.

That being said, I might give it a read when it inevitably pops up , but I don't plan on spending my money on it.

no I still unleash my weaponized autism on programming them, just in a way that makes sure I'll be spent for two days after without hindering long term recovery too much kek

If there was a hardcover version I would buy it for sure. But for the ebook I am hoping for an user sharing a link.

even boris himself looks slightly worried, how good can it be

all memeing aside, will pirate and read religiously

What'd you end up getting on your deadlift yesterday? Congrats on the squat chaddery.

is it the translated one that he wrote in russian or a new book entirely?

Why the fuck are you doing three things on A and then grocery listing B?

Oh boy how will you pass the time?

>even boris himself looks slightly worried, how good can it be

I also wonder why they chose that pic

Any idea if glute ham raise can replace reverse hypers/hypers? No machine at my gym and I always feel like I'm doing hypers wrong.

You can do hypers in GHR machine.
But GHR is great exercise, just lot heavier than extensions.

I know, I just have no idea how to do hypers, and ghrs seem to be more straightforwrd, but also more hamstring oriented, I don't know

GHR is more hamstringy because you know you flex ya knee.
Hypers you just squeezse your ass, no need to actually hyperextend
and you DEFINITELY cannot hyperextend in GHR or their purpose is about lost

>Where do you live? Adjusting your dick in a car is certainly not a "wtf thing"
Italy, it's not that weird no but I think he was trying to be funny

Could you redpill on doing hypers properly?

>tfw don't want to go on a date with a cute girl who is taller than me in 2.5 hours because I'd rather stay home and get comfy but I have to do whatever it takes to increase the bench
Anyone else know this feel?

All the time friend

ok

Interestingly, this is one of the reasons belts can add pounds to your total; they facilitate the elastic response to torso flexion; the more neutral the spine is (as it should be), the less profound this effect is. Oddly enough, as McGill puts it, "to obtain the maximal effect from a belt, the lifter must lift poorly and in a way that exposed the back to a much higher risk of injury."(5)

...

So what's the problem with belt use? It alters firing patterns such that the belt becomes a crutch, and important core musculature is not called upon to stabilize the spine. Considerable evidence exists to suggest that wearing a belt causes individuals to unknowingly alter their motor patterns.

Cholewicki et al. (1999) compared belt use and increasing intra-abdominal pressure "naturally" under situations where lumbar spine stability was challenged via a sudden load release (in either trunk flexion, extension, or lateral flexion). The investigators found that belt use caused activity to decrease for the thoracic erector spinae in extension and the lumbar erector spinae in flexion (8).
if belt adds pounds to your lifts you don't know how to brace

That's not raw is it.
You can never tell with these fucking meme suits

> cut rom
> do more
> ???
> profit

you have learned to powerlift

its just a singlet u batty man

It's raw, he's wearing a t shirt and a singlet

The only people that think belts are cheating or whatever are weak beginners.
If whatever sport you are competing uses a belt, you should train with a belt.

I think it's raw.
It's ok even though it's done with a wide grip, no pause and an arch.

Nice reading comprehension.
I'm saying that the more pounds you can get from a belt the worse your squat form is (spine less neutral).

lmao he wears a belt to bench

Why not?

I didn't even read it lmao, I just saw the words "belt" & "crutch" and assumed you were one of those "belts are cheating" posters.

And actually regarding your comment I have no opinion because I am a brainlet,
But I definitely get a lot out of a belt on squat (20kg) and have a weak back.

do you wear shoes to bed? hat in the shower? shirt in the mosh pit? extraneous ass motherfucker.

>no pause
Wrong

A shirt extends to the elbow or there abouts. A bench shirt that only covered the delts would either be extremely ineffective or excruciatingly, unusably painful.

Also the ribcage noticeably compresses during a decent equipped bench from the force of the elastic effect. And they descend unusually slow.

That's how you can tell.

I can squat that

thanks.

but could you do the lift on your boxers?

probably the midget because he can easily punch his dick

Could I do my EQUIPPED bench in my underpants?

No.

this one

How does equipped even work?
Like the first time you tried it does it like miraculously add 40kg to all your lifts?
Does it have a learning curve and needs practice?
Basically what I want to know is how much should one lift raw and belt-less before considering competing or something.

It is a different lift. It's not really equipped 'bench'. It's equipped row-bench or something.

A belt can be beneficial to core stability regardless of exercise you fucking retard.

w2c 13mm 4inch full leather belt for 100 euro or less in Europe?

It has a huge learning curve, especially if they're good equipment that fit you pretty tight. Imo benching is the hardest, followed by squat.

Yeah probably. Want me to do a bit less on Saturday (160 vs the 165) and if it's a nine, we call it quits?

It works by means of storing elastic energy during the eccentric (exercise, guess how much this helps in the deadlift and why).

In practice, you put on tight equipment the first time and are unable to do a legal lift with any weight. Unable to hit depth, or to stand up with it. And it hurts. It takes many many sessions to learn to be consistent enough, to ignore the pain, to get used to tight kit (as opposed to softer or looser stuff that doesn't add much), to wrap the knees effectively (read as tight as you can and be conditioned enough to squat after). And it hurts because it cuts into your skin, especially with thin, old single ply stuff. This means you can train it basically just once a week. And it's exhausting. An equipped max tires you more than your raw max.

I'd suggest a 400 raw wilk-ish before you start adding extra training variables like equipment. Your comp skills in raw (ie peaking and doing legal lifts consistently) should be a solved problem before you try competing in equipment. And if you don't want to compete in equipment, don't use it because it's not worth it.

Yeah only in the first session. They feel more and more similar as you git gud. It's not really a row at all though. Definitely still a bench.

no i dont want you to hurt yourself :(

>And if you don't want to compete in equipment, don't use it because it's not worth it.

It's worth to have a big pp on the internet and brag about my lifts :3

Based and equippilled

Okay ill do it.

If ultra gde would train super hard at let says 100-120kg bodyweight what could he achieve in 5-6 years?
220kg squat, 130kg bench and 230kg dl?

ho w much can you dip and dumbell bench

>doing dips as heavy powerlifter
you want to injure your body, dont you?

why would that injure you?

No idea and don't care to find out.

Ultra GDE would be unable to squat 100kg after his first year, and then he'd get injured and never come back.

i really like dips because i can engage my back so much better in them : (

we talking like a real gde not a mental gde, and lets say hes more likely injure prone. Hes just adapting very very slow, hes able to stay healthy, minor injures like anyone of us have, but afterall hes able to keep going

I've seen a true gde. Not mentally though. He grinded every 3x5 hard. He never gave up during a set

He had a bmi of about 17 and he was grinding those 5s with 70ish kg and microloading and adding .5kg a week. 500g. A week. After a year of training he didn't squat 100kg.

Ive seen a different, middle aged, GDE train for several years to achieve 199 wilks at his first and only comp before muwpc got too big and he was kicked out of main training hours for being bad (and then he quit)

>kicking someone from hobby
fuck this is really really bad

also how you deal with injures that occur most? Elbow, knee, shoulder pain as I know you dont care about lamo stretching

>start smolov for bench
>continue breaking squat PRs weekly
>start to get cold
>had to take 2 days off work as holiday leave fml

how do i stop weak immune system? going to start taking multivitamins
