/plg/ general powerlifting general

Do volume deadlifts, anyone that tells you that 1x5 is enough is just wrong. I personally do 2x5 and 1xf. If I go over 5 reps on the failure set I'll go up 5lbs. I've been doing this for 2 years now and the last time I tested my max I hit 365lbs (155lbs bw).

I DREW REAL POWERLIFTING

Thanks for the advice. I found that I responded to volume very well on my presses so I will try that with deads.

Is it true that it is easier to make gains when lean? Also my cardio sucks balls. Will improving that help my deadlift?

>Easier to make gains while lean
Isratael says it should be

>Cardio
Cuckols says it improves your recovery, so in a way it could

>no one ever gets as hype as Eric on the powerlifting world stage

There needs to be a crossover sport with Jeffersons, push-press and 1RM tyre flips.

no

Just

Jeffersons

Jefferson rack pulls

Hack squats

>1RM tyre flips.
Torn biceps everywhere

>227.5 BP opener
>record on opener

>was easy as well

Had a 5kg bench gym pr today. Not bad, but I was hoping for a little more somewhere closer to 7.5kg. Probably going to adjust my bench program and take out OHPing (it's near worthless for benching, but I like doing it (and I have a laughable OHP ~110kg)). I'd love to hit a 3 plate ohp one day.

Good job mang

>110 kg ohp
>Laughable
There's only one dude that goes to my gym that overhead presses more (315 lbs), and the dude is the definition of talent.

Legit never seen more than 1 plate by anyone at my gym, there is one guy who does like 3 plates on the smith machine for quarter reps but lol.

>tfw she says you look like youve lost weight

Go see my nan, she says to my mum that i have gotten really fat.

It's standing, no cheating or anything. And there's a handful of guys that can do 225 at my gym. My friend that passed out going for 230 hit it two or three weeks later easy.

gj bro, keep it up

i just do five or 6 heavy singles then do a set of 5 or so. after that usually 3 sets of 5 at deficit or romanian. i only deadlift once per week and try to PR every week depending on how i feel

>this drive lie
FUCK OFF

Yo Benchbro, I didn't realize you changed your name. Would you recommend Toledo Uni? Is the rec area nice? Do they let you use gym chalk? Are there oly platforms? I've heard from friends that the location is pretty shit and you might get mugged, but other than that how is it overall?

Sean stop hitting on trappy or I'll tell Isley.

No matter how bad you feel

Sean is chatting up Trpy chan asking him to do porn

Right fucking now

Yes, the same guy who posts
>you're a man

Is asking trappy for naked pics

Well, at least there'd be one man in that relationship.

IPF standard of 225

Just don't leave campus desu. Campus is great though.
There's 3 squat racks and one platform for deads and meme oly lifts.
You can't use chalk but if you are just responsible with it you'll be fine. I have a Pl gym I go to though.
The rec is p nice.
Dorms are p nice but I think all that's open is presidents and parks tower.
I like my profs

>sean literally said he would watch trappy doing porn with a girl

So that's why he obsesses about trappy so much.

It doesn't run very hot
That card isn't even competing in this segment

It's not gay if she has a feminine dick, r-right?

Thanks for the info. I didn't study hard enough and now Toledo might be my only option (95% Acceptance Rate) :(

>95% acceptance rate

holy shit, is that why all of benchbetas friends at that school are predominantly black?

jesus benchy btfo

I'm cutting 1-2 pounds per week and am gaining strength pretty quickly doing Greg Nuckols routines.

Oh it was bait all along

I'm not saying that as banter, I'm being serious.
Basically, if I go anywhere else I'll have to be in school for 5 years instead of 4.

its possible fat retard meant gaining muscle and not strength.

though it is also supposed to be hard to gain strength on a cut too.

who did this?

ukranian guy named stanazolol or something

It's a good school. I like it and they are good at getting you connections.
Also the guy who invented the Pringles can went here.

Just wait 4 years till the record is overturned.

I think some people lose strength because they expect to lose strength. I've just been trying harder.

godamn i just wanna stick my tongue up trappys butthole and eat her out

I've been trying pretty hard too desu. Only thing that hasn't tanked a decent bit is my bench

That is kind of weird. Bench is usually the first thing to go on a cut for most people.

Isley you better take care of trappy, sean is hitting hard on her.

It was the last thing for me, by a decent amount of time. Squat went first, then deadlift and ohp

we know sean

you talk about him/her all the time

Don't get me wrong, I still lost strength, but it was a lot less harsh compared to the others, and went down lasr

nice photoshop but that isnt fooling anyone

lol, nice try gayboi

I agree.

The only thing that is supposed to be a given is that you can't gain muscle (unless beginner or fat),

Definitely can gain strength tho. I'm cutting rn and have been able to get stronger still (knock on wood) but also really fat.

You're way too fat to be losing strength already.

I lost strength on my deadlift and squat almost immediately. Ohp and bench didn't tank until midway through my second 5/3/1 cycle. I was ~23% body fat when I measured 3 lbs ago, can't be much less than 22% at this point.

>240kg bencher opens with 305 deadlift, weak squat
>365.5 squatter benches 142.5, opens 325 deadlift
Why is this again?

Cutting hard and fast like an idiot does tend to make you feel weak
That's not really the same thing as losing strength, I feel like he'd be back to normal if he ate a good large meal, but still, it's hard to lift the weights you used to lift if you're on like a 750kcal deficit

>I'm a powerlifter, I'm powerful!

Losing weight does weird things to the squat - especially if you're down more than 30 pounds.

The slightest shift in your center of gravity can really wreck your form, you know?

The dude with the squat has really long arms, probably has had an injury at some point as well.

It's 1000 actually. Won't be 750 until I hit 190.

Actually form massively improved. I dive bombed the fuck out of my squat when I did 295x5, going to 295x3 with form improvement and control, with no dive bombing isn't too terrible. Deadlift got the worst of it though. 365x5 to 310x5

Who are you racing?

So this is the power of the revered IPF...

No one. Just don't feel like cutting longer than I have to or softer than I can

still cant tell if I should actually be between 12-15% body fat before bulking, or if that is a meme and i should keep being fat.

he seems to be right about lots of other things tho.

i am just scared of the strength loss and food loss that will come with losing 35 lbs.

what a fucking stud

Dat was cray

Go for it. You'll always be able to regain lost strength

CAM FUCKING MCKENSIE, INSTEAD OF GETTING AN EASY SILVER MEDAL YOLO'S AND GOES FOR GOLD.

misses lmao

more like $700

why.

why does it cost $700? idk ask nvidia, but its probably due to them dominating the high end market, and not having competition to ring the prices down.

desu if bodorio can be as strong as he is at 6 ft(???) 105 kg / 231 lbs, then I dont think I need to worry about cutting 20 lbs below that as an early intermediate.

>beliving the nvidiot progranga
>being a nvidcuck

Just finished a rewatch of 1974 Texas Chainsaw
Forgot how fucking good it was. Harder to watch at times than the vast majority of other horror films new or old.

>tfw fell for the deadlift is a push not a pull meme

Just thought about pulling the bar and it completely fixed my lower back rounding

>700 for a non Ti
>not supporting AMD no matter what
Such blatant consumerism requires one to be a special kind of faggot

I actually didn't want to go nvidia, since I have a freesync monitor, but my r9 290 is starting to shit itself (though knowing amd it could be their shit drivers)

>show me the competition for the 1080

but it out performs the 980ti

Breh, I started at 215 and I'm cutting to 175-180. You could do a slow cut so you'd progress with less difficultly than a full cut like me. Imo it's worth it, because I'll look half way decent and I'll be able to bulk sustainably for a long time after. But you do you friendo

lads, should I purchase a "NIGEL SAYS NO" t-shirt?

DO YOU THINK THE IRON IS A GAME?
THE IRON DOES NOT FUCK AROUND. LET YOUR GUARD DOWN AND IT WILL CRUSH YOU. POWERLIFTING IS PAIN, BLOOD, TEARS, NOT FUN

Hah, going for 405 next week?

How much difference can it make when a three day split (upper/lower), let's say Monday, Wednesday and Friday have to be mixed ocassionaly because lack of time or feeling really tired to let's say Thursday/Friday/Saturday? I guess not skipping the workout it is the priority but how detrimental would it be to the effectiveness of my lifts and my physique? Thanks!

What to do? My gym have this mother fucker, picture related. Bench is so soft it's like sponge and racking bar is fucking horrible and you can't even change what height you can't the bar.

Deal or move. Not much to be done to be desu

Unless you have a better DB bench you can move into a rack. That's what I do.

i benched 4pl8 on that exact bench
stop crying manlet

I will go once in week to my old gym which is public gym. I only moved because it's not open in weekends and friday only 9-14 during summer.
