Well, since none of you faggots will make a new thread.
LIST OF PLG APPROVED ACRONYMS
>GDE (genetic dead end) Exercise low-responder. High injury rate, no sports background, weak willed.
>BONER (Bench Only No Effort Retard) Wants to have the admiration and ego of someone who lifts, but doesn't want to get the squat or deadlift of someone who actually lifts. Copes with a combination of bench press and autism.
>CUCC (cuckold uninjured crying canadian) Identify as injured, without medical diagnosis. Trans-herniated. Purposely do self-destructive programs like PH3, Smolov, etc. They wanted an excuse to quit.
>VOLEM (voluntary evermediate) Late beginner, early intermediate. Panics when the bar gets heavy. Program hops, works on technique, or sabotages recovery as an excuse to not progress.
>CHODE (communist homo of dick eating) Angry, godless little postmodernists who secretly loathe strong, masculine men who won't fuck their boybutt. Some transition into ugly rat faced pedos, others defend said CHODES. Also known as PHAGs (projecting homo ass goblins)
>TCHAD (tries consistently hard all day) The Isleys, MAs, and other guys with average genes who actually like competing and getting stronger.
Need some help with bench but cant grab a vid right now. I've honed in on the form that works best for me, but my grip is naturally really narrow. Not close grip level, but slightly wider than shoulder-width. Should I correct this or just keeping going until I can't? It's the most comfortable and stable way I've found but I can see the ROM is crazy compared to being super wide.
Ian Powell
If it works best for you there's nothing to fix
Nathan Martinez
ok, thank you
Leo Ortiz
Should I really give a shit if my right leg is smaller than my left even though I have a fairly smooth/even squat?
I jut my knees out every time I squat heavy and I have breddy gud glute activation. But for god's sake my left leg is huge cause I love to start and end my walk out with my left leg.
what is a good way to improve deadlift? im weak off the floor
Gabriel Taylor
Add in some deadlifts where you pause right off the floor and/or 1-2" deficits.
Carson Gutierrez
I know a guy who is ~200 lbs, benching in the upper 300s, with a grip that's basically "wide" shoulder width. If it's working, don't worry about it too much.
I can hardly wait to see /ourguy/ Luke crush it at worlds. the future of powerfatties is bright
Mason Myers
I'm new here and VOLEM seems to describe me perfectly. An IRL friend told me about this thread some time ago, how strong do you need to be to begin powerlifting?
Jose Myers
>How strong to begin powerlifting Powerlifting is literally just training for squat bench dead, it doesn't matter what the weight on the bar is when you start, only when you're on the platform
Dylan Richardson
Let me rephrase that. Am I going to make a fool out of myself on the platform if my current PRs are 155 kg, 90 kg and 170 kg at a 77 kg bodyweight?
Ian Hill
I'd assume as long as you get your ass on the platform who gives a fuck.
I've seen almost 300lb "powerlifters" deadlift sub 600 and WIN at local competitions.
>never competed before though So I wouldn't know for sure. I'd assume it's just up to your Wilks' at that point.
No, as long as you learn how to do the commands and practice timing. Powerlifting is the weirdest sport I've ever seen, everyone is supportive as fuck to their direct rivals before during and after the meet
Aiden Phillips
>Let me rephrase that. Am I going to make a fool out of myself on the platform if my current PRs are 155 kg, 90 kg and 170 kg at a 77 kg bodyweight?
You'll only make a fool of yourself and get bullied to suicide if you show up to a meet without having a fucking clue how to do the lifts in the context of a meet. By which I mean, learn the goddamn commands.
Jayden Hernandez
What if I started accusing strong guys at my gym of not being natty and calling them out on my IG (I have 12k followers) and then made them pee in a cup, but then just drank it haha.
Ryan Lopez
I wonder what it would smell like haha
Brayden Hill
How do I wash my knee sleeves? I actually want them to shrink and get tighter, so can I just throw them in the washing machine and dryer?
Or do I have to air dry them and have no hope of shrinking them?
anyone else find that lowbar is a complete joke? literally why would you put the bar there. just rest it on your traps. that way it's naturally midfoot. no gay ass forward lean neccessary. i'm serious. try out highbar for a while. you'll find it much more comfortable. i used to be all about lowbar. made the switch a month ago and never looked back.
High bar feels like a less natural position for me. I still need forward lean with it and it feels less solid because less of my body is in contact with the bar.
Grayson Williams
Fuck off VOLEM.
Zachary Murphy
Meh, squat style isn't important. I'm guy with long femurs and really short torso and I don't feel difference in muscle activation between both styles. I do find high bar more comfy for high reps and I don't have to worry if I hit IPF depth cleanly every rep.
Jack Ross
>accidentally overshot my top equipped squat double today Whoops youtu.be/VAu2MDVUvLA
Jaxson James
After squats yesterday the bottom side of my hyps feels pretty tired/sore (just around the circle for the greater trochanter in pic related), this never happened before but I just recently became able to really push my knees out and engage my glutes squatting.
Normal. Only concerning if it's a different pain than DOMS.
Jacob Barnes
I'll post it again cause previous thread died right after I posted it there
Should I change gym?
TL;DR: in my actual gym I have a coach that doesn't give a shit and the equipment is shit but I'm surrounded by elite powerlifters that are always happy to give me tips, in a different gym I'd get actual coaching, better equipment and save a lot of money, but everyone there is an intermediate. Stay or leave?
Long version: The gym I got to now is a generic commercial gym with a lot of machines, a platform and 4 squat racks, one of the PTs there is an actual powerlifter who holds a couple national records, but he kinda doesn't give a shit about actually coaching me the movements and he pretty much makes the same program for everyone with minimal changes
The second gym is a powerlifting only gym, lots of equipment, a coach who's extremely attentive and actually makes custom plans and coaches people appropriately and it would cost me less than half of what I pay now, but I notice a lot of focus on geared lifting (I'm not interested about it)
The choice would seem obvious but the thing is: the gym I train at now is full of extremely good powerlifters, they pretty much win first price at the raw nationals for every weight class every year and they all get coached by that same dude (so even though we're all pretty much using the same program, it really seems to work) and they all give me tips and help me when I need it, while at the powerlifting gym there's only mediocre athletes except for the owner's wife who went to IPF world's last year. So what would be the best choice? Going to the gym where the coach doesn't really give a shit about me but I'm surrounded by very good athletes that can help me or to the more specific gym where I actually get a coach but everyone's an intermediate?
Owen Ward
If you genuinely need coaching, then choose the second one, because a coach that doesn't give a shit about what you have to say and doesn't make a program based on your needs isn't a coach that you should hire. As long as the second coach is experienced with raw coaching then I don't see a problem.
Owen Harris
Asked this last thread but whats the consensus on the best 3 day a week program. Wilks is like 295 or so.
And please dont say madcow or TM
Kayden Perez
The first one. Why would the coach give you free coaching anyways? Im assuming you are not directly paying him for that.
How much stronger does a moderate dose of gear make you? Let's say my max bench is 350 while natural, what numbers am I looking at after a year while on some, but not a huge amount of gear?
Caleb Evans
> after a year probably 450lbs lmao
Justin Walker
man what is even the point of staying natty fuuuuck

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".
.t shit bench, shit squat, shit deadlift, shit every other lift, shit body, shit hobbies, shit job (jk you don't have a job LBMDASWTAILMTYHCFOAP [Laughing Because My Dumb Ass Sense Was Tingling And It Led Me To Your Hilarious Cope Fest Of A Post]), shit life.
It seems you've finally lost to courage to respond to these pure #FACTS, as you know, deep in your heart, you'll only get absolutely intellectually dominated again. Again. So get a hold of yourself, quit the delusional LARPing on an Cambodian Stick Fighting Enthusiasts' guild, post your no doubt pathetic body and lifts, fuck off to get your life in order, and stop being so predictable.
>Call out that the Bench Autist is too bitchmade to respond >He immediately responds in a desperate attempt to save face >The only result is a savage and unrelenting BTFOing
Dance, puppet. And post body/lifts while you're at it.
If it hasn't killed Isley yet, I doubt it will hurt you.
Josiah Collins
Wrong, Isley survived PH3.
Charles Miller
Didn't he say he took a bit of the stuff out?
Connor Scott
anyone have any experience with block pulls
never tried them before myself
Parker Carter
If your face looks like tomato you're fucked dude
Kayden Cruz
only the bodybuilding shit
thats why he looks like a garbagebag filled with pudding
Ryan Gray
don't put them too high
Ethan Nelson
That's actually because Isley has a large amount of subcutaneous fat, particularly around his midsection. Not because he skipped out on some bodybuilding stuff for 9 weeks or however long he did PH3 for.
What do i do when one of my lifts isn't making progress on LP but my other ones are? My OHP keeps stalling at 105 but my other lifts are doing good. I've reset it twice now.
Alexander Morris
you add volume
Liam Jenkins
switch your progression on the overhead press to weekly instead of session to session and keep the other lifts the same
Colton Cooper
PLS be kg
Josiah James
more volume
decrease weight a little increase sets
James Turner
Thanks frens. I will do this.
Sorry user-kun, its pounds. I know I'm a weak babby but maybe if i train really hard and eat big, I cam be strong like you!

No you shut the fcuk up
Zachary Roberts
holy shit lads, I fixed my DL, after two years I fixed it. I tried deadlifting with my feet extremely close to each other and opening the knees more. It put my back in such a better position holy shit.I might look retarded lifting like that but I don't care. I've been happy all morning
