Why not just call it RIR then, when it's a lot easier to say how many you have left?

ehhh, source?

Kodomo no Jikan

Talking out of my ass here, but RIR seems to come from old school bodybuilders,
whereas RPE has been used for stuff like running and in academia for years.
So nerds are seeing how much money is to be made in the rapidly growing sport of powerlifting are leaving college with their exercise science degree and using terms they are familiar with.

Athletics RPE describes how hard a physical effort is: "Rating of Perceived Exertion". Whether something is hard, very hard, easy, and so on.

RIR is how many reps you have left before failure. Sometimes half-values are used, so 1.5 means more than 1 rep left but less than 2, i.e. you could have added a little more weight and still fine 1 more rep.
RIR was indeed used by old school bodybuilders, and more recently by crossshit.

A while ago, however, RIR started being trendy in the powerlifting crowd, but they called it RPE. I'm not too sure why.
There was probably the assumption that RPE and RIR are almost the same thing (but one the opposite of the other), which is in fact incorrect.

I have never loved anyone. I think I'm dysfunctional. I do not have breeding/reproduction instinct. I barely feel anything when I see babies or when my friends talk about them, or about marriages. My survival instinct boils down to buying books and gym card, that about.

Gay alien skull

you skipped a year you should be 29 this year

I only need 475. They're VERY dyel.

I sit in a chair 12 hours a day, go to sleep, then I wake up, go to gym, sit in a chair, go to sleep, repeat.

Just.

there is 0 chance a male human cant squat 60kg one rep

you could be worse off, I have a wife and kids that I literally feel nothing for and never have. They are merely objects that I have collected in my vain attempt to trick myself into thinking I'm normal and capable of feelings.

overhead 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 press.

nobody gives a shit that you can bounce your a bar off your morbidly obese gut with a bullshit arched back.

overhead. press. is. king.

That's pretty bad, for your wife and kids, but I guess we all have our masks to wear.

their average bodyweight is 150 lbs. One of them has never been to a gym ever.

If you become very proficient at wrapping your knees, maybe you'll manage. Otherwise you're a retard.

What stops people from becoming elite powerlifters?
Literally just follow a good routine, eat well, sleep well for 10+ years right? Do you get injured before this happens? Do they get bored and quit?

damn am I the only one on plg who feels love
its my favorite feeling

no, I love my waifu.

define elite
everyone can be strong, but by my definition only very few have the genetical ability to be elite

Nice shop now post the original

10k calories a day and do Bulgarian twclice a day.

genes

I ate eleven muffins
I feel like I'm going to die now

What's it like, I'm not even baiting. How does it feel like?

It makes me do silly things, it makes me over complicate things, it makes me self destructive it makes me question my masculinity, it makes me listen to bad music, it makes me want to open up my window and scream I love trappy and I don't care who knows!!

like eating ben and jerrys after deadlift session

>What stops people from becoming elite powerlifters?

The wall.

Most people hit around 400 wilks quick, then they don't know what to do when progress stalls. They do way too much volume to compensate and get hurt or burn out.

When you hit the wall you have to eat big, and stay consistent for 5-10 years, and start thinking about anabolics .

the problem with red heads is your babies will get bullied at school

Tell her if she doesn't fuck you, you'll give her sets of 10-15 on squats and deadlift.

your gf deads More than me lmao

that means you're the gf now haha

She's 6'4" 148 and I'm 5'7" 181 so I can't really tell her no.
>The snu snu Amazon gf

>6'4" 148
Bitch could hide behind a stalk of corn

That's what she competed at, usually sits around 165.

I was rude again to a powerlifting qtgirl at gym.

Tell me, how does a 5'7" manlet get a tall gf?
t. 5'7" mnalet

>powerlifting
>qtgirl
Does not compute (unless your definition of qt is chubby with horrible tattoos and a bad personality).

Autistic and awkward and annoying? Hasn't worked too well so far

The only way I know how to get a gf is through cold approaching strangers. It's a numbers game, but it can also be a very fun game at times.
>t. 5'10 with 6'1 gf

Explain how to cold approach people. When is it appropriate? Can I talk to people at a bus stop?

I'm genuinely attractive, 6'3", muscular but don't know how to get a gf. Also, most of the girls in my course are ugly (STEM) but I see plenty of qts around the campus.

what does the B.E. stand for?

B.E. Entirely

She was a childhood friend who would pick on me in grade school then we moved to the same city and became friends 5 years later. Friends for 3 years, and the one night I asked to show her a trick with her Fitbit claiming I can make it go from a resting bpm of 60 to 150 in 3 seconds. I proceeded to put it on and kiss her. Now we live together and all of our photos of us she rests her arm on my head :3

Fuck that was clever, I'm stealing it

>When is it appropriate
Not in class or if she's on the phone. Probably some other similar times too. If she's walking fast it's still appropriate but it's just going to be a bit harder, you should still try nonetheless.
>Can I talk to people at a bus stop
It's honestly one of the easiest places desu, since she's sitting and doesn't have an excuse to stand up and leave (unless her bus comes). Even if she's wearing headphones or scrolling through her phone just go and say hi.
Smile. No stranger cares if you had a shitty day but everyone likes happy people. Don't stutter, have good posture and talk just loud enough to get her attention. Give a couple compliments (I like your shirt, you're kinda cute etc.) to show her why you are talking to her. Ask her things about herself, make observations about her. When she starts asking you questions back then that means it's time to relax a bit because you've made great progress and she's now interested and that's when you get to know each other. After a while when it's time to part ways say "I had fun talking to you. What's your number?"
So that's the quickest summary I can give you.

im so autistic and shy that it would go to 200 and cardiac arrest territory...

Thanks. I guess I just have actually try to get good at this. I always think I'd appreciate an attractive girl trying to talk to me, so why wouldn't it be the same for them? But can never work up the courage to randomly talk to someone.
