/plg/ - Powerlifting General

You're a big guy

This picture gives me hope

post a pic sitting down, fully body

You look like Jason Blaha with hair.

I'm sure he's ingested a bunch of steroids and hormones from the burgers he's been eating

my sides, holy kek

Trappy is cute. CUTE

...

Oh god that's too accurate.

Isley went full Blaha mode.

better than the other 1 0 fat pic Tbh

Agreed :3

Every time I start feeling bad about not keeping myself very lean, I look at Isley and feel good again.

Just sumo deadlifted 345x3
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME I GOT 325X7 LAST WEEK AND IVE DONE 365X5 THIS SHOULDNT EVEN BE AN ISSUE

How old is this picture? I thought you were at more like 20%+ bf.

>tfw you're attractive only to fags with daddy issues

m-more

Five years old

Did you draw that yourself? That's really impressive mang.

How hard were you trying?

Extremely. I tried to break the floor for a fourth rep 4 times.

... W-wew

Fatigued.
Did you squat yesterday or something?

the poster below me has to fuck the poster above me

Nah, squatted on Tuesday, benched Wednesday. I do have a minor head cold but it's pretty much nothing.

No bully but you sound like Ayrton Senna.

... After someone had kicked him really hard in the balls.

gbro, what's your stack right now? You're keeping it small, right?

Truly the most cringe-inducing "sport" to ever grace the earth

>sport
Wrong thread mate

Why did you think it was a good idea to snap your youwho to Amber ??

CAN TRAPPY PLS FUCKING STOP POSTING WEEB SHIT
NOW I CAN'T BROWSE PLG IN PUBLIC

Friend at the gym is obsessed with mark bell & supertraining.tv and wants me to do crazy shit like isleys squat grip

What do

I can't hit depth on the squat without 2pl8 on my back. My hamstrings are tight as fuck. When should I stretch ?
Right of the bed, before/after workout, before bed?

End his life.

...

>tfw keep making progress on OHP but bench doesn't wanna move

J U S T

Hopefully volume bench won't be bad today

Posted in old thread like a tard

Great session today. Squats felt solid and I was p happy with 7 on the top bench set.
Got some post-workout shawarma too so it was a good day all around.

youtu.be/Uz9v-1LhM0Q

I noticed that when I fucked around with TM for pressing. More bench volume?

Yeah, my story too. I stopped ohping completely.

Stop OHP and your bench will shoot up.

>isleys squat grip
?

Squatted with a closer stance and way less angled feet today.

Knees felt A LOT better and I was also strong.

Maybe I have finally found it. We will see.

-H

>7 reps at 80.5%
That's not 80.5%

I see.
Well, everyone has a bad day sometimes, specially if you're cutting.
Try drinking more water, warming up better, resting a bit more between the sets, getting better sleep at night, having a small meal 1-1:30h before the training session... that sort of stuff. But bad days are gonna happen. Just don't let it get you down, remember you'll be stronger next time.

lmfao

Get a better arch and setup
Improve the bar path
Bench with higher frequency
Spoto bench with 2-4s pauses as accessory
Try harder

And dropping the OHP, or not trying to max it anymore and using as accessory, will probably help a lot as well.

I'm sorry senpai.

During the day when you're home any time you want multiple times if possible.

It's probably not your hammies though, likely to be your ankles.

Aw :3c

Yo sabre, asked you earlier about programming around separate weeks of not being able to train at all. Is there any hope for my gains in the summer?

It was 85% for the AMRAP

80% is right around 8rm

The >just fuck my wrists up grip

80% is at best 6 reps. On a really fucking good day.

?

>tried a few bench sets with nearly max legal grip
>most comfortable sets I've ever had
>mfw I fell for the "long arms, narrow grip" meme
Fuck, man. Time to start using that wider grip regularly.

for you

you working with deloitte or what ?

Everything about that makes me wanna throw up.

What I did for deads today, not including 135x5. Squats also went extremely shitty this week. Only got 280x4 when I've done 295x5. I drink a bunch of water before and during my workout, and I got like 10 hours of sleep. I also ate a decent amount today. I dunno what's up, considering my ohp and bench are going swimmingly. Maybe I'm just not used to doing as much as I am for lower body.

...

No they used to sponsor my uni boat club, I still wear the singlets.

I wish people would listen to me more often

What?

Absolutely. The biggest thing is to do something in those weeks. Even just some air squats and pushups 4-5 of those days will help significantly. If you can do active things like hiking or light sports that's even better.
As far as programming goes you have some options. If you're on a very simple, linear program like SS or TM I'd say just repeat the week you did before the week off. You'll acclimate again quickly. You could also use it as an active rest week after doing some max testing.

That's not true at all.
Literally just look at the relative intensity chart to see how wrong that is.

>had to run around a lot at work last week
>sunny weather
>soaked thighs and crotch
>rubbed the shit out of my thighs
>started wearing knee long biker shorts over my boxer briefs
The rash is going away but come on man. I used to apply baby powder there so it wouldn't get as sweaty but I figured I ust dry the shit out of my skin there if I do it regularly so I went with moisturizing instead

I'll work on ankles too, then. I knew 11" ankles were no good.

Wrists are bent back, looks like they're taking a lot of the load, thus need wrist wrap support, which is an inconvenience to put on, elbows also look like they're directly supporting the load.

Yes I took the bait

the fuck man

srs question guys, if my 5RM bench is 125 what is my 1RM, like 3pl8s or less?

>If you can do active things like hiking or light sports
Gonna be hiking inna woods/mountains. I guess some pushups and squats with a friend as a weight will do. Some mobility work wont hurt either I guess.

135

Well they don't, at all. It's a problem with your perception

I thought that was blaha when I was scrolling the catalog

looks like jock itch to me

use baby powder and wash often

Yeah I think you'll be fine. Progress won't be quite as quick as normal obviously but it won't fuck your gains. Marginal amounts of time away from the weights is good anyway.

Did you apologize to Amber?

I do a split TM so that when I PR on bench I do volume OHP and vice versa, so I don't think the OHP is hindering my progress. I could be wrong of course and will take that into consideration.

May be bar path desu. Sometimes I fuck up the first rep and touch too close to my shoulders and it ruins the rest of the set. Gonna try 205 again next time and see how it works out, hopefully it was just a bad day for me.

people are different with reps
you will just have to try it

DIdn't help

yeah, I guess, thx mate

i have those pants

The Pressing rn. 195 on the bar

Night

lads, anyone know why tyres are so expensive? Literally 1k for a piece of inflated rubber.

Anyone tried taking one from a farm or warehouse lol

What FED doesn't allow sumo?
>inb4 a good one

yuck

guys how to do HIIT? pls explain

WSM

What happened to Supermang?
Will he ever return?
Does he lurk?

The rubber is expensive senpai

Just go to a landfill, farm, or workshop and ask, la.

Is that where you get your vodka from? Landfills?

Get broken ones.

Of course they are expensive, there is metal and everything inside of that rubber to make it hold together under tons of force.

Just get one that has fucked up profile or is slit open or whatever, you just want it for the weight anyways, don't you?
