/PLG/ - Powerlifting General

Unfortunately my brain doesn’t produce enough serotonin for me to be able to love life.

I'm fucking retarded. I always thought when people talked about a "J" pattern they meant the blue bar path. I was just informed it's supposed to be the red bar path.

You definitely need more bench press volume

Why wish for something that is entirely within your control to achieve?

wtf does blue and red mean
the bar path is the same up or down

both those arrows are pointing up, numbnuts

the blue bar path is decently accurate for the path down.
but yes, they meant the red path for the way up. The premise being that you have don't have the bar perfectly over your shoulder at the bottom of the lift as it makes the shoulder susceptible to injury, but you want it over the shoulder as it goes up for efficiency of force application

is the fupa the best for max power and least bloat mode?

>least bloat
Uh?
Inb4 chode spam

THIS

everyone at my pl gym including the bloatlord coaches bench with a diagonal bar path so that the bar is on your chest way below your nipples and they push it back over towards above their chin. i started doing this and got incredible shoulder pain on the eccentric. i did an almost completely vertical bar path today and felt good.

what is actually the correct way to bench as far as bar path and where it lands on your chest?

Threadly, but non-spamming, reminder for you unlifting user CHODEs to post body/lifts and get a trip. But only if you have at least one of
>A squat greater than 2.5x bodyweight AND 500 lbs
>A CONVENTIONAL deadlift greater than 2.5x bodyweight AND 500 lbs
>A bench press greater than 1.5x bodyweight AND 300 lbs
>A Standing The Press(ᵗᵐ) greater than 1x bodyweight AND 200 lbs
>A body fit won't think looks like shit (good fucking luck)

Otherwise, stop LARPing, stop giving "advice" like you have half a clue what you're talking about, stop posting altogether, bring your ass to the gym, and try harder.

>I say spout nonsense and let the person do his own research as to ascertain whether the nonsense is questionable or not

That would defeat the entire purpose of a forum though. In that case, you'd be better off just Googling stuff and avoiding 4Chinz altogether.

>we need to see fruits of your labor
>No, we dont. Just like we dont need to know how many games youve beaten to post about video games, or how many guns you own to post in /k. You're cancer.

Spoken like a true twink nard. Post lifts so we can all see what a steez you are.

Because doing it that way makes it a front delt and tricep exercise. Keep your elbows slightly out, or better yet stop being a PLtard and use dumbbells since they're the objectively superior form of the exercise.

Why are you in this thread

you did it wrong

Wronf thread pal

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.

Weird way to spell Squat

serotonin is a meme. SSRIs did not make me love life. they made a difference but only a small one

>or better yet stop being a PLtard and use dumbbells since they're the objectively superior form of the exercise.

Ask me how I know you have a shit bench.

lifting is the best anti depressant. if you are depressed in spite of lifting properly you are simply fuggd

You need dopamin, serotonin just makes you fucked up.

Posted this in another thread but someone here might be able to help: I ohped like a maniac for some years (got up to Bw for reps ~95kg) and now I'm in the hospital with thrombosis in my right arm (paget von schroeter Syndrome). Docs say I should switch to a different sport with less overhead work. Any ideas? Id rather not go full Auschwitz runner-mode.

Wrong thread buddy

People are talking about depression in this thread m8. I think my question is within acceptable boundaries.

You are retarded. Olympic weightlifters don't even do shitton of ohp. They do pushpress, partial presses, weighted dips and pushups. Or else they would wreck their shoulders.

Oh I know. I just enjoyed OHP a lot.

Do pushpress once a week, a partial once a week, dips(chest) once a week, push ups once a week. All of them: no grinding.

Did some DB stiff leg deadlift, felt a snap and couldn't bend over for hours. About 5-10 minutes after this happened I went to sit down and also almost passed out but I'm not sure why.

How fucked am I? It's been about 8 hours and most of my mobility is back.

Interesting. That seems pretty intense considering my current state. Especially pushpress might put me at risk for another pulmonary embolism. What do you base your advice on, if I may ask?

>my brain doesn’t produce enough serotonin
Lol. Try working hard at something and live a meaningful life. Go to church.

Brain chemistry is a byproduct, not a quick fix.

That might be applicable advice for some but not everyone

How do i get any enjoyment out of squats?
They're the most fucking boring lift out of the three and i'm neglecting these fuckers and my numbers go down because of that

S N A P C I T Y

Population: (You)

Like last squat session i was just like
>fuck that gay shit, i'm doing bench today

And now my squat 1rm fell by 10kg because of that

>some
Most.

Get outside. Exercise moderately. Get a job. Live on your own or with a roommate. Stay off the internet because it makes you sad. Stop watching porn. Go to church. Network a peer group NOT ON THE FUCKING INTERNET.

There, I just cured 90% of depression .

>Add "volunteer to help people in your community" to that, which goes with church

Am I fucked for life? Will I be able to squat? How fucked is this friend

Go to a physio.

If you are injured for real, see a doctor.

Oh man I’m brewing something here...

Cringe

I just dont know how to gauge it. You're right user, I'm just paranoid and trying to figure out how fucked I am right now

Rounded it with shitty form

t. ""depressed"" and uses discord

Nope projection, save these posts for when you grow up, you’ll see what I was talking about

Discord is for trannies, tranny lovers, and depressed weirdos who need a super autistic niche "friends" group. Prove me wrong.

my dad out totals your dad

If you hate it so much then just squat once a week for 3x8 or something like most bench specialists do.

Jow Forums is for trannies, tranny lovers, and depressed weirdos who need a super autistic niche "friends" group. Prove me wrong

Nigga, where did I write that it should be intense? Also do you not get surgery for that shit? t. guy who has a trainer who had that shit in his leg.

>t. tranny lover

Lol. Jow Forums is bad. Joining a discord full of select people from Jow Forums is worse. You were part of a discord that enabled a tranny to molest an orphan child.

Yes I know you love trannies and all and are obsessed with it but you’re known here as a cringe poster saying cringe shit like go to church

Huge cringe buddy, this has nothing to do with your sexual attraction to trannys

>your sexual attraction to trannys

>You were part of a discord that enabled a tranny to molest an orphan child
He what?

Raffy/trappy (who Sean, fat retard. Paul, and many other trips enabled and defended and flirted with) knowingly had overtly sexual communications with, and exposed animated child porn to an orphaned minor (frog).

tweaked my neck
any good tips to make it better fast ?
already put hot cream and warm towel, but it's been 4 days

Attached: 1559476080146.png (656x755, 38K)

The absolute state of plg trips.

Sean and raffy both tried to wipe themselves from the desuarchive to cover their trails. It's gross.

If it lasts 4 days its not a tweak my man

Maybe go see a doctor

Its probably just a compressed nerve. Take some ibuprofen, do some mobility, and man up.

The fuck is frog. 4channel is 18+

Frog was an underage boy who was unfortunately orphaned, and raised by Jow Forums.

He had awesome powerlifting talent, but he began abusing anabolics early and burned out.

While on plg (while under 18) a transexual Brazilian man groomed frog, and had explicit sexualized conversations with him on discord. Raffy claimed to be frogs "coach" and rode the coattails of frogs achievements.

>implying frog wasn't on drugs the whole time

Whoever was administrating that discord server knowingly let a child molester assault someone under age.

two people I know got herniated discs from deadlifts
how does this happen

>how does this happen
Everyone herniated a disc at some point in their lives. Having a strong, thick core and good kinesthetic awareness reduces the risk.

> bruh I don't need to brace for this pull its submax
> *snaps*

Failure to manage stress bites you in the ass.

Man I don't know how I missed that drama, I remember trappy commenting on vids from frog in the threads but I took a break from Jow Forums for a while. what a shitshow

Did you miss his temper tantrum where he spammed animated images of underage boys wearing panties with bulges?

Or when he spammed the discord with pornography because he got mad at fat retard?

Mental illness is a hell of a drug.

Lmao missed both of those, although I also have never been on a Jow Forums discord. I remember being on some plg tinychat video call back in the day (2011?) when I was more retarded, I think I told one of the trips who had a ~250 bench that since my SS progress was linear my 110lbs bench would be at 250 in a few months and he just laughed at me, which makes sense in retrospect.

good times

The discords and other secret clubs always dissolve into drama. I stay off them.

PLG is sometimes good. There are more lurkers here than people think.

When did you decide to get a coach and how did it affect your training?

Discord is a honeypot service by Silicon Valley progressives too, you have to be special kind of retard to use it.

> Still no new Tins video
Get on it already.

It's all 12 year olds and trannies. Seriously (from what I've heard/seen)

>Tins video
What?

How did you get that syndrome?

>FOR GAYMERS™ BY GAYMERS™
Who would have ever guessed discord could attract the worst people.

>head position on the right
i'm so fucking confused right now

Discord is administrated by furry pedophiles

What. Do you bench with the bar starting over your nuts?

can you just draw a benching stick figure on those bar paths? I can't imagine this in my head

>You need dopamin, serotonin just makes you fucked up.
Na man. What we all need is some oxytocin. It's just that Nobody wants to touch us to stimulate that response.

Who was actually raising frog then?
Why did he burn out?

Grandparents.

He was doing Sheiko and abusing anabolics at 17/18. That is not a sustainable lifting choice.

Why not? aren't a lot of record holders blasting and cruising for years until they quit?

do a lot of juniors burn out?
