/plg/ - powerlifting general - Boomer Appreciation Edition

LIST OF PLG APPROVED ACRONYMS/INITIALISMS

>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.

I'm here before this thread gets shoah'd

>the si ''joint'' only can move a couple of milimeters,

Yes, and you can damage whatever pissy ligament is holding it together. Which makes it a literal pain in the ass until it heals. Powerlifting is pretty much the perfect way to injure your SI joint, as all the force from every squat and deadlift you do is transmitted directly through it.

Most of the time, it's just a matter of a few weeks before it's better. Boardshorts might have been a candidate for surgery though, as it sounds like he completely tore it apart.

>345 is raw paused,
>mfw

Good thing bench press is a pointless lift for stupid faggots then haha

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.

Is the Bulgarian Method good for begginers?

Threadly reminder, that this is a general for individuals physically training for a specific task over a period of weeks and months. Therefore, the ephemeral nature of anonymous posting is entirely useless, even counterproductive. If you want to have your hot opinions taken seriously, you should get a trip and post your lifts. This is the only way anyone will believe anything you have to say about anything.

Thank you.

But I'm a twinkshit with only one decent lift (bench).

then stop posting

No

no

never done montana method but the high volume bench template he posted a few months ago is comfy as fuck

>D1
7-11×7@65%
>D2
7x5@70%
>D3
singles and doubles @80-92% (i've been doing 1@8, then 5 or so backoffs)
>extra tricep work as neccessary

Is it good for intermediates?

So is it the same shit every week? How does progression work here?

t. Currently doing Nuckols' 3x int for bench with 142.5kg TM and still progressing. Interested in trying new programmes though.

>singles and doubles @80

guess how i know you've got a shit bench

can you read?

Sure, why not.

John Hanley is one of very few people there I'd seriously take advice from. Even if I'm 99% certain the twit has "sets x reps" backwards like a tryhard.

i've just been linearly progressing each session, using the 1@8 on day 3 to make sure i'm getting stronger

Bench and BW?

Never done back offs before. Do you just do a few singles at like 90% of that 1 @ 8?

after the 1@8 i take 5% off the bar and do 2-3 singles, then another 5% and do 3 dubs

yep. now guess how i know you've got a shit bench, faggot.

Get a hold of yourself, quit the delusional LARPing on a Polish Menial Labor Enthusiasts' tard hatch, post your no doubt pathetic body and lifts, fuck off to get your life in order, and stop being so predictable.

After I utterly bamboozled the Bench Autist with reverse psychology last thread, I betcha he'll respond almost immediately this time. Watch. He's nothing if not amazingly predictable.

imagine being my little bitch. just camping threads, waiting for your master to plop a fat fucking steamer right in your rapidly balding manlet mouth. truly embarrassing.

pic related: my little bitch. he always seeks his master out, never the other way around. that's how you know i'm his owner and he's my little bitch.

Welp, your autism in responding to nothing has killed this thread. Good work.

Maybe go to the gym so you can have something to contribute (like body/lifts to post) when you return.

If you're a beginner lifter, you're better off just getting a pre-made program that matches your goals and following that. If you're intermediate lifter, you can start adjusting the ancillary lifts you do and the intensity/volume of your workouts (most programs will have guidelines for you to follow when adjusting these). If you're an advanced lifter, well, you already know the answer.

If you're coaching, two good books on the subject are Science and Practise of Strength Training by Zatsiorsky and Practical Programming for Strength Training by Rippetoe. However good they are, however, they will only give you the base knowledge. To deepen and specialise your coaching knowledge, you will need 1: experience (which is why it's a good idea to work with other coaches' programs before you attempt to make your own), and 2: specific knowledge. The second can be acquired through webinars and seminars (you can even find some on youtube, and even though the ones aimed for coaches are usually not found online, you can still gain a lot of knowledge from watching seminars meant for lifters), specialised books, interviews or articles, scientific studies/research, and, well, experience.

>Claims tl;dr
>Response is longer than what he was responding to

You might need to see an actual therapist about your compulsive projection.

>Responding in less than 15 minutes

While you're there, ask him about your unhealthy obsession with me.

>still begging his master for a response

nah. tl;dr. not happening, manlet. my weak, emasculated little bitch can seethe all it wants, but all it's gonna do is make that receding hairline disappear even faster LMAO.

Feeling burnt out/bored of pl and have switched my focus towards the press and front squats. I still deadlift like normal but have dropped the backsquat and bench volume off. It will be interesting to see if an emphasis on the other movements has much carry over

>Still responding within 15 minutes

If you aren't going to step away from the keyboard, how about you post body/lifts, sport?

>gots a doctor appointment this morning
>woke up at 8:30 in the morning, as opposed to my usual mid-afternoon
Wow this sucks

I feel like im in a wormhole or something guys. Days just feel like minutes. Like i will blink and its 45 minutes into the future. I am taking care of so many responsibilities yet i am falling behind on so many more. I cant put my finger on it but maybe its because i am doing everything on my own. Maybe if i had someone to help me out with some of the responsibilities i would be able to enjoy life. Even on vacation its always a business trip, theres always someone to see or a deal to be made. I had one day off in 3 years which was dec 27th last year. The weather was fucking horrible and everyone was away for xmas. That day just draggedddd on and it felt amazing. I could have spent 5 hours lifting that day and i got home and got to put some music on and cook without worrying about rushing.

Anyway i am posting this because my meet is next weekend and i am nowhere near my goals. I am going for fun but man i could have been so much better. I signed up for this meet last year and it feels like i signed up for it just yesterday. My squat went up but my weight also went up a bit. But holy shit is this event just a huge ass wall in the road for me right now. I really wish i had more time. I was looking forward to this for so long and im in worse form than ever. Shoot

Q___ p___________

you are acting like lifting is a chore. if it is, quit lifting you mental gde

You misinterpreted my post pretty bad but its all good.

its a long post so i just skimmed through

nice blog

I should tldr it but i cant think of anything except i wish i had some more time to focus on my hobbys aka powerlifting. But my general problem is that there arent enough hours in a day for me to accomplish everything id like to do.

I cant figure out why this happens and i wish i can slow down a bit.

are you working more than 40 hours a week. if you are, stop. if you arent, stop wasting time

Yeah man i approach close to 80hrs per week. Idk when was the last time i watched a movie or got to post on fit. It was tough to even squeeze this little chat in. But posting helps me clear my mind and arrange my thoughts. It benefitted me a lot. I wish i could post more often and figure things out.

Please tell me you at least love your job, and agent just wageslaving

Aren't
Fuck phoneposting

>love your job
hows life in wonderland

Then why the FUCK are you throwing your life away like that

Nah i am not wageslaving. I love my job too but something happened i did not forsee when i took it. A lot of peoples lives depend on you as an officer. Like i can go on a break or quit and these people will probably not have food to eat. They dont teach you that in Uni

>singles
This is fucking boring.

> tfw did single @8 then x6@9 and 3x6 @8 on squat today

At least I get decent quad pump from this. :)

>>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.
can you ever escape this?

You can, you just gotta be patient and do things smart (train hard, eat in slight surplus, deload from time to time etc....)

I wish i could

Tfw realize i could squat 4pl8s
Ill fix my shit technique, and focus purely on squats and rows for next month

i've tried fixing everything, i think sleep apnea is probably the culprit but takes forever to get the doctor visits to fix it if it's even fixable

That sucks, but even lack of sleep shouldn't stop you that much unless you do max effort every time.

Reddit is that way

Maybe panzer really did become a janny

I don't know how else to explain away the fagpocalypse we experienced

I'm finally eating at the KFC that opened here a while ago, and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. It's vastly superior to mcdicks and bugger kang, both flavor and ambience wise. This place is pretty big with a low table density, meaning it's not cramped and noisy at all. A huge positive is that darkies here don't have the whole fried chicken thing, so the place isn't filled with them. There's very few actually, I guess because mcdicks is cheaper. Most of them are talking in English so I guess they're Americans.
One big drawback though, is that they advertise the hot wings as hot, and the zinger as zinging (i guess that's supposed to mean spicy?), when there's barely any heat in them. Fuck off.

There's a new 5 guys nearby, are those any good?

cringe

5 guys is good, but it's more expensive than what it's worth.

Am I allowed to swap OHP for weighted pullups?

no

No, but you're allowed and encouraged to swap bench for more OHP

I cook my own food because I'm an adult. it's not fucking hard to fry chicken or cook a good burger that's better than restaurant quality

I eat out maybe twice a month for lunch and twice a year for dinner, and had takeout/delivery less than a dozen times in my whole life. I literally cook twice a day almost every day.

Your girlfriend like your food?

Have any of you ever recovered from an adductor injury? I'm not even sure how I fucked up, I warmed up with the bar and it started hurting.

>girlfriend
Hah, as if. Family and friends love it though. I'd like to believe I'm a good cook, I started helping out my mother (proper south Italian excellent cook, not retarded clueless boomer) in the kitchen at 10 years old, by 16 or so I was cooking dinner half the time.

Probably an overuse injury. People get over injuries all the time. And when you get tired of it, quit powerlifting

> Bridge's 1@8s of the last week were 4@9s of the first week of new cycle of Bridge

Guess I take that.

Hey man, I just try and be helpful so you know what to do next time. Also nobody will know who you actually are, so it's not like you have anything to lose.

it doesnt look like theres going to be a "next time" desu lad :( I dont see me getting another chance with this girl, and I doubt I'll be interested in any other girls in the next few YEARS atleast

fuck off retard

>I just want to talk about powerlifting all day
fuck off retard

do you know where you are? get another outlet to spam your Jow Forums incel bullshit than a powerlifting general

Tell the story or fuck off. This is power powerblogging general, not blueball me with halfstory general.

What's the "best" 5/3/1 template for the deadlift?

>on a cut for 2 weeks
>beard and chest hair is growing at ridiculous speeds
can someone explain with science

They all progress the same, dumbass.

whatever your deadlift historically responds to the best

>What's the "best" 5/3/1 template for the deadlift?
It's individual.

Personally, I like:
>Main
3's Pro With Jokers
Or
Traditional 531 with Jokers

>Supplemental
FSL 5x5
Or
SST (waves of 10s, 8s, then 5s) with a variation.

I also keep training max low, like 80-85%

> masturbate
> abs cramp
all right all right what

A)no they don't
B)he wasn't asking for progression models

I want to die hahhaa lol

WTT
Bench 70% 10x2
2ct Pause Squats 60% 5x5
Bench 55% 3x8
DB Press @7, @7.5 @8

elbows didnt feel a thing, few more week of rehab and I can start pressing normal weights lol

>Bench 70%
whats that? 50kg?

A bit more, but still shockingly to you its rehab bench with a lot depleted max. As soon as I feel elbow pain im supposed to decrease it even more

Starting a new training cycle next week, will bench 60% x 10 x 5 @ 170 first week. That's based on 90% of a 320 max.
