D O L L H O U S E I SEE THINGS THAT NOBODY ELSE SEEES
Parker Rivera
don't have to get up until 1pm today >so I won't
:) I wish I was happy
Blake Price
did db rows chinese style today, by bracing on knee. Bretty good, didn't cheat much and felt like I got way more scap retraction than any alternatives. 50kg for 3x15 each was a breeze
never see anyone else do them though
Levi Howard
How do I do them?
Carson Perry
regular db row, but with your off hand brace on your knee/lower thigh and row from between your legs. You'll be more upright than a supported db row
Easton Nelson
Oh. I already do these weirdly enough... Makes me feel like I'm about to let one rip
When I squat down, I can feel my left knee shaking slightly like it wants to come inwards with some pain unless I really try hard to keep it out and put my weight on it and then it doesn't feel shaky and no pain.
I read this is a hip stability thing? Is it a glute issue if I can't keep knees out? Which part of my gluteus do I strengthen for this and how?
Brandon Hughes
drehkraft shoes are on sale, should I cop a pair? I think powerlifts look a bit goofy so really I'd rather get a pair of these
>drehkraft shoes are on sale, should I cop a pair? I think powerlifts look a bit goofy so really I'd rather get a pair of these Why do they look goofy? I have them and literally everyone I know in the gym commented on how cool they are.
oh my mistake. I thought this was the FUCKING POWERLIFTING GENERAL!
Brayden Lopez
the weird shiny sides look odd, the stripe placement looks taccy, and the top strap looks a bit goofy. plus I don't like any of the colours they do it in.
plus I really like that drehkraft orange.
Jason Harris

Camden Ramirez

Jaxson Sullivan

Fucking retard strenght i tell you hwat.
Lincoln Powell
lol no hes focusing on getting a 'toned belly' and get some fb to like him
Samuel Sanders
Tell him to do some actual upper body volume
he looks like a pear.
Ryder Sullivan
anyone else grind their teeth when they lift. considering getting a mouthguard so i'll still have teeth in 10 years
William Walker
He deadlifted 160kg with a rounded back, at the same time I also deadlifted 160kg. He then did a 170kg pull to knees and failed it, while I had never gotten 170kg off the floor.
But last week I pulled 180kg and he hasn't even locked out 170kg yet.
You've just got believe in yourself
Andrew Gomez
lol done
Luis Moore
I broke my retainer when grinding a max deadlift
Jason Walker
>You've just got believe in yourself Never.
Carson Allen
>do not lift for a week >have just eaten 2 large burgers with sugar coke >jelly belly balloons past the point of no return
The world is ending.
I guess it's still better than never lifting at all.
The bright side is having a hot Texas burger delivered home from the Internet despite not living in America. Thank you, Amazon® Prime Air™!
Jackson Gonzalez
Was just informed that the gym is open tomorrow!
I started some strength training again last week and it felt pretty good, so i'm looking forward to tomorrow's squats, Benching and Deadlifts!
William Lewis

If you wanna read on programming, there's:
Practical Programming for Strength Training by Rippetoe and Baker Science and Practice of Strength Training by Zatsiorsky and Kraemer Supertraining by Verkhoshansky and Siff Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches by Everett Weightlifting Programming by Takano
These are the major ones that are available in english (Sheiko has very good books but they're all Russian-only for now). Then there's of course the specialised books, stuff like Lascek's Texas Method books or 5/3/1 books, among many others.
----------------
General books?
Biomechanics of Skeletal Muscles by Zatsiorsky and Prilutsky Practical Programming for Strength Training by Rippetoe and Baker Science and Practice of Strength Training by Zatsiorsky and Kraemer Starting Strength by Rippetoe Supertraining by Verkhoshansky and Siff Mean Ol' Mr Gravity by Rippetoe Defying Gravity by Bill Starr Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches by Everett FIT by Lascek, Kilgore and Hartman Weightlifting Programming by Takano
Then there's of course the specialised books, stuff like Lascek's Texas Method books or 5/3/1 books, among many others.
Drehkrafts are PP2s with the Boa Closure. Good shoes, worth the price asked.
>being this triggered by Frog's good technique
keking @ your life
Connor Morris
Why are you sharing pictures of yourself
You are asking yourself to be doxxed again.
Gabriel Smith
5/3/1 for bodybuilders on a cut... i forgot how sore you get when you actually do accessory work :(

Michael Walker

Not one of my better going-outs, that's for fucking sure. [/blog]
Any song related to dying. For what it's worth, I notice a rather big difference in calorie needs when I don't squat, despite increases in deadlift volume.
Bentley Diaz
My hips and knees won't stop cranking. Go down crack, up crack,stretch crack. Wtf I'm not even 30 and my joints think they be 80. What do I strenghen to lessen this crack.
Brody Gutierrez
Why are you on PLG all the time if you are a tranny?
Kevin Turner
Stupid question.
Jack Nguyen
Thankfully this injury is moving a lot quite nicely so it shouldn't be too long. Gunna be doing a lot of light weight and high volume work over the next month as well as throwing in some heavy leg press.
Nathan Wilson
rood desu
Henry Phillips
Powerlifting and strength training/sports are my passion.
Plus I have an ok amount of experience with coaching, and an ok amount of knowledge an experience with sports injuries and treatments (specially those related to lifting).
And while I'm not a powerlifter myself (I only coach it), I train weightlifting.
Luke Morris
That's why! Because she's a tyranny! Liberal rules are over, now PLG is a tranny tyranny! Die, cis-liberal!
Dominic Anderson
kek this tbqh if youre cis leave already
Jonathan Foster
Are you strong?
Adrian Morales
lol
I'm petite, but I have ok numbers for my class.
Matthew Brown
Most of the cis trips have already been pushed out desu. >trappy >fat retard >frog >prutus >lith >poutine?
All we have are progressive dick sucking trips. Hail trappy!
Justin Jackson
I'm back btw
Chase Nguyen
I feel slightly bad about comparing you to Alison Tyler. You are pretty enough the way you are, even without broad shoulders, big muscles or tall stature. You follow your own ideal.
P.S. Would it hurt you to kiss your admirers sometimes though? You act very un-Brazilian. I thought Brazilian people were more generous.
Jeremiah Lopez
Nobody cares about you, you weak shit
Brayden Walker
Found an asshole.
James Jackson
It's funny because Rasputin is an asshole himself.
Isaac Bennett
Do you compete in mens or womens?
Connor Richardson
I didn't know, so I can't deny.
Ian Green
3rd squat
Aiden Green
Next person to insult trappy can cash me owseye howbow dat?
Jaxson Hill
3rd bench
Anthony Cox
how are your lifts now? made any progress while you were gone?
Isaac Parker
Why do japs grip so wide? Whenever i grop that wide i feel way weaker, i've found that a grip that's like 1.5 times my chest width (so much narrower) is actually making me so much stronger and more comfy
