/PLG/ - Powerlifting General

I want to die

major case of GDE:ism, consider rock collecting

Let me guess youre the same weight as you were 7 years ago?

Dont know what that means.

I just want a 3 plate squat and 4 plate deadlift

Dunno why thats so hard to ask for.

I even bought Romaleos, a weight lifting belt, straps, etc, none of its helped the problems that occur anytime I try to Squat/Deadlift.

Infact the belt just makes squatting and deadlifting harder because it gets in the way.

The Romaelos make my knees hurts.

The traps just weakened my grip even more.

Fucking hell im such a fucking failure

wrong thread buddy

No. I was actually lighter.

I got 105kg x 5 Squat and 130kg x 5 Deadlift when I was 70kg, it only took like ~3-4 months of lifting for me to hit that, so I assumed I'd be 3/4 plate in no time.

Then I started adding in isolations and then I think that made me develop muscle balancess, then my first pains starting occurring in lower back with Squat/Deadlifit

I've slowly gone from 70kg to 90kg over the last 7 years (age 24 to 31)

Here's how to fix powerlifting.
>remove wide grip benching with 2 inch ROM.
>remove good morning squats in favour of high bar squat with a straight back
>remove reverse grip and sumo deadlifts in favour of double overhand
There, I've made powerlifting into more of a sport.

There is no way you have been lifting for 7 years consistantly without breaks and have those lifts.

See the OP.

Shoulder hurts but I must bench. Top set is only 112.5kg anyway. I think it's just my lateral delt is a bit sore.

Are you clinically gay?

Are you attracted to tomboys or short haired girls by any chance?

>remove good morning squats in favour of high bar
lol he doesnt know

I haven't even missed a week away from lifting since I started on July 18th 2012.

I have "fucked around" trying bro-splits, and constantly switching routines every few weeks, I think that has been my biggest mistake.

The problem is anytime I try to just "RESET" my self, and I start doing a 3/day week novice routine, my Squat and Deadlift just doesn't progress, even when I've reset down to nothing. Its as if my body is incapable of progressing, even with Un-trained levels of weight.

It can't be muscle related, because I have the most muscle I have ever had, being 90kg. Its gotta be neurological. I just can't fucking make strength gains.

And I'm 5 foot 7, so me bulking at 90kg is just not a fucking option.

Shit changes.

Take out sumo, and rule that forearms have to be vertical at the bottom of the bench. And do weigh-outs, no weigh-in.

Fixed.

Powerlifting "squats" are the equivalent of trying to squat and do a good morning at the same time.

This is me btw.

171cm / 90kg.

I made a thread earlier about it, nobody really gave a shit though.

People always assume I must not eat or something, to be so weak, but fucking hell I eat, I wouldn't be 90kg at my manlet ass height if I didn't eat.

An actual genetic dead end. Impressive. I doubt you will, but don't reproduce.

Stop doing novice routines and do something like 5/3/1 or one of the other programs recommended on here.

Get some more sleep
Follow a good routine
Eat more protons, buy supps
Try harder! Good luck!

>tried eating liver
>almost vomited

just try harder

>back feels weird
boohoo just try harder, if it handicaps you, then it does
you either get strong or die trying

HYPE!

How can I stop doing a novice routine when my Squat and Deadlift is currently 40kg/80kg.

Everyone says to just stick to 3x5 SS type routine for S/D until its 140k/180kg x 5. Or have I been meme'd to this entire time?

t. 400kg total

climbing shoes arent flat, also theyre very tight and not comfy

you are a situational intermediate, it doesn't matter what your numbers are. If you are not progressing, you need to switch to an intermediate program.

Weigh-outs are a shit idea.

t. Fatty

650 without cheating (no wide grip benching, low bar squat, sumo, or reverse grip).
With cheating it would 700 approx.

This. The two hour weigh in system just works.

I've never had an issue fitting into my weight class. Weigh-ins aren't even a big deal in cases where it's not 24 hours.

>show up perfectly healthy for meet
>do lifts
>PRs everywhere
>Go in the bathroom and force puke out everything
>Do weigh out after losing 15 lbs of shit
I like it.

No it's not.

>Shorter meet times
>Real bodyweight on the platform
>No weight classes, all coefficients
>Safer for the lifter

Everyone knows that weigh-ins are an archaic, stupid part of the sport.

How much rest do you get between each attempt for a specific lift in a meet?
And how much rest between different lifts?

You weigh out immediately after your last deadlift. It's been tested successfully in strengthlifting

That's not how it works. You don't add 50kg on to your total just because you think if you did something differently it would add 50kg on your total, you have to actually lift the weight.

Weigh ins are are the norm in just about every single sport with weight classes except for Rippetoe's goofy fed.

>no weight classes
Now that's fucking retarded.

wtf is strengthlifting?
Another powerlifting offshoot?
Don't you fags already have like 1000 offshoot feds?

Between 6 minutes (minimum) and 15 (maximum, three lift) or 20 (max, bench press only) plus or minus a few minutes for quick loaders or accidents on the platform.

Between events you have at least 20 minutes for a warm up, but often up to 90 minutes for large competitions.

This (and based)

>wtf is strengthlifting?
Squat, the Press™, conventional deadlift.

>That's not how it works. You don't add 50kg on to your total just because you think if you did something differently it would add 50kg on your total, you have to actually lift the weight.
It's a fact that benching with a wider grip, lowbar squatting, sumo, and mixed grip let you lift more weight. That's why powerlifters do it like that in the first place.

Sumo is entirely dependant on your hip structure. Grip width is dependant on your arch, setup, what's actually the strongest for you, and is relative to depending on the person. Most people will move more weight lowbar, but people like Bryce Lewis and John Haack will probably move more weight highbar. I probably only get about 10-15kg from doing lowbar and a wide grip.

What's the reality of the usefulness of the OHP for improving the bench. Is it worth seriously programming it as an assistance lift for the bench, especially if you bench with a very close grip? I see some people swear by it and others talk shit about it. What are the fucking facts?

What's the Press™, benchpress, and squat?
That's what I want, fuck deadlifts

>Weigh ins are are the norm in just about every single sport
It makes sense in combat sports. That is all.

Different guy
In my experience just benching causes your delts to lack
Overhead pressing fixes that imbalance

Perfect sport would be.
Snatch or clean for explosiveness.
Press for brute upperbody strength
Squat for brute leg strength.

It makes sense in all sports with weight classes. That is all.

No.

Faggot.

In combat sports, a heavier fighter is going to fucking kill a lighter fighter.

Lifters aren't touching each other (besides you and fat retard playing tummy sticks), so you can use a coefficient.

>It makes sense in combat sports. That is all.
they cut waterweight there too its a huge problem

I'm not really sure what you mean by "seriously programming" but having some sets of OHP spread throughout the week isn't a bad idea as far as shoulder health is concerned.

wighins in boxing and mma are retarded. Guys that compete supposedly at 75kg or whatever, are actually weigh around 85-90kg when they're fighting. They only weigh 75kg on the day of the weigh in.

Fighting is different, you have to have weight classes to help plan the fights. You don't need that for power shitting

I mean programming it to the same extent (in terms of volume and intensity) as benching or close to it.

for most people its not useful other than as a GPP movement

if youre an outlier who benches with his delts(due muscle insertions and whatever) then it can be useful, but those people are rare

Wouldn't it be useful for someone that benches mostly with their triceps?

>benchnig with your triceps
Its called a JM press not a bench press

Pressing is an excellent accessory. Upper chest, rotator cuff health, and it's badass.

I don't think you need to do that. I would just think of it as continuous delt hypertrophy, and program at it as such. Just add 3-4 sets of 8-20 reps wherever it might fit.

I hit my first bench PR in a while after doing a one month cycle of OHP focus.

Oops.

And forgot mention I bench close grip and do lots of tricep work.

Did all my bench sets fine. Shoulder feels better after lol.

i took 150 gram honey and will take 400mg caffeine for my 220kg and 230kg deadlift today
it will be easy!

>that girl who starts crying at a comp because she thinks the spotters grabbed the bar too early

lel

>maxing out deadlift days in a row
never gonna make it

should i do it twice per day?

Remember to watch this before your attempts

Women (in PL) were a mistake.

excellent

It's not fair. Why can fatties bench 120kg for reps like a warm up.

More muscle

Is it wrong to use those spinny olympic bar to bench press?
I tried and my press stopped dead in the middle like I'd never been like that before, I usually fail at the beginning
It almost killed me

>Is it wrong to use those spinny olympic bar to bench press?
wouldnt recommend

I've only ever trained with an eleiko competition bar. Rows, bench, deadlift, press, etc. Never had a problem.

they are fucking awful and im scared of breaking my wrists everytime i use them

What? Why?

Lmao. I always use that bar. It's great.

they spin too freely
ball bearings are not for powerlifting

Breh, I've never used any other bar and I've never had a bar spin on me while benching or doing anything else.
Have you used legit oly bars or some cheap bullshitters?
I use an eleiko bar from the late 1990s that still in perfect condition for oly lifting and everything else despite being loaded with crazy weights over the years.

i think it varies per person

some people keep the bar very stable, so for them the bar spinning is not noticable. Whereas for people who dont hold the bar stable the spinny bars spin even more

Ive had this too and ive noticed some people get this and other people dont

>Have you used legit oly bars or some cheap bullshitters?
Leoko competition approved bars.

Theres a reason all powerlifting bars use bushings and not ball bearings. You need a bit of friction for static lifts.

Wait, so would my lifts be higher if I used a powerlifting bar?

No, unless the spinning really bothers you

Strengthlifting but THE PRESS is worth 2x the points

That would be great

>start doing the strict press
Now my traps have blown up
