/plg/ - powerlifting general

So what are we training today lads?

Studies have shown that density doesn't affect strength or hypertrophy at all, and that volume for hypertrophy is just amount of sets in a certain difficulty level. iirc it's 8 RPE+

The weight x reps x sets is a meme.
Resting 90s or 120s is a meme.

The rest is fine.

So when are you going to officially trade your hole for a pole?

Pretty sure the intensity thing is really important for my bench.

can barely do heavy bench because my training intensity on TM is too low. so this week I need to just up it and redo last week.

I'd like to see one of those studies desu, training density is talked about by people like Mike T and to achieve a higher systemic stress I thought?

are you doing a 5rm on ID? 3rm?

Uni? Whats your major?

taking 6 units this summer to get them out of the way, just GE this summer because my core classes aren't offered over summer.

business/marketing

...

Nice. business/e-commerce here
Finals starting in 2 weeks kill me already

>barely got the rep minimum for ohp
Side note: why the hell does my belt get looser after every deload week? I literally have had to bring in my belt a hole after every one.

Finals? Southern hemisphere or what? I'm about to start the easiest senior year ever since I've taken to many of my upper division classes in my first couple semesters (17 and 18 units).

I hold on to a lot of bloat if I've been doing a lot of volume around that time fwiw

How to engage hamstrings and glutes more in squat?

youtu.be/wohwhl9jxxM

95-97% bench press one month out of competition.

Er,

I was doing 5rm, then 3rm for about a week or two.

Now 2rm.

DESU I think the only reason I had to decrease from 5 -> 3 -> 2 is not because I'm not making gains, but I think I had too much submaximal volume.

Increasing %age will maybe let me get back up to 3rms tbqh, and certainly should let me keep doing 2rms.

Crack out the leeches, artyom

Funny how Williams drop his whole "praise jaysus" act this time round. And Cornelius didn't even know the words to his own anthem - looked so damn uncomfortable when the camera was panning up to his face. Then Haack acting all stuck up, and Candito sucking his dick for it; Candito even begged to be allowed to commentate apparently. Really inauthentic athletes compared to the humble likes of Gibbs.

Would this pass in IPF competition?

Who started the "try harder" meme?

Im asking so i can get a poster of it with their face.

Boardshorts.
>you're either not trying hard enough or a genetic dead end
to Joe when he failed c6w on a faulty foundation.

Sean are you gonna do SRS to get a dick or are you non-OP like trappy-chan?

That was 120+ juniors, right? Anyone have the time of the accident?

Ok, awesome.

poster coming eventually.

Pretty sure it was the 120- open

I don't, but he was walking around fine assisting the 120+ flight yesterday, so not seriously apparently. But did you see Kelly Branton nearly die under the bar, as well as the spotter behind him?

Thanks

Yeah, that was absolutely insane. I can't believe those dumbasses on Kelly's left side. They did jack shit.

One of my most successful memes to be sure

That was nightmare fuel, no doubt. Though he came back with a fantastic showing - great to see that his confidence wasn't shaken by that close call, you know?

I started this meme, joffrey adopted it and Boardshorts stole it

Fuck you lying cunts

Nope, Anthony Krznar, 120+ Juniors.

joe started that, making fun of a video leman once made, everyone else if a fraud

Yeah, it was great to see he wasnt to shaken up, unlike Gibbs. I respect Kelly a lot more now after that incident.

That's what I thought. Thanks. You have a time for the incident? I dunno why but I can't find the damn thing

>Funny how Williams drop his whole "praise jaysus" act this time round
I noticed this, I liked it.

It is just lifting weights for fun, God doesn't and shouldn't care.

Nah fAm

Nuh uh

I can't be wrong.

>american win something
I WANT TO THANK GOD AND LORD JESUS

Immediately before Jord McLaughlin attempted the same weight having failed it twice already

arrogant prick who knows nothing desu

Can I replace rows with rack pulls?
The ego weights are insane
The trap gains are insane

I mean who cares about lats anyway?

Stronger bigger traps = more shoulder retraction when benching thus less ROM

Big traps = big Deadlfit

Big traps = secure bar when squatting

Lats do nothing

Why do rows or chins

Chins suck and feel big
I don't do lifts that feel bad

Rows don't feel as bad but aren't fun like rack pulls

So why do them?

Not only was he not shaken up, he came out and absolutely destroyed the deadlift - rpe 0 on every attempt. That was beautiful.

For real though guys, that was a lot of fun yesterday. I'm so glad I found /plg/ and found this sport again. You guys are all top lads, for real.

2 more weeks until this protein sparring modified fast is finished. Down from 375 pounds to 220 over the course of 10 months.

And then to start Starting Strength :'^)

Who the fuck are you
Fuck off

SS fags GO

>prick who knows nothing
Fixed that for you fami.

>unlike Gibbs
What? Gibbs got gold in bench, and very nearly got his last pull. His total was 45.5kg higher than Hubbard's. It was all because of that bogus call on the squat for dipping, when really he just shook. *If* he had gotten the squat, he'd have gotten his third, not wasted energy on failing, and been ready to outpull Haack. Haack would've been the one shaken up from having to compete for the last kilo. Biased American judging all the way through.

No need for the hostility, brother. Everyone has to start - or restart - somewhere, right?

I was on Veeky Forums back in 2010? 2011? I severed my AC ligament a few years back, and in the depression of losing my gains and the pain of the injury I fell into depression. Ate my way up to 375 pounds, what a dreamer bulk. I found Veeky Forums again back in September, and I've been lurking /plg/ since - it reminds me of what I'm missing out on.

My lifts are weak as fuck right now - though after seeing what you gents are capable of they always have been. I just hope I can get as strong as some the big dogs here - gotta try hard, right?

I actually remember your name from a half decade ago. It's great to see that you're still in the sport, and you're stronger now.

Oh yeah that's the wrong guy. I was thinking about the guy who got held by the spotters when he tried to drop the bar, and the spotters weren't able to lift it up.
That might have been 120+, though.

Third attempt squat, 120kg juniors, not sure exact minute though.

Because your cut is working. Give it a few months and you can join me at twink mode.

fitsticky.com/articles/lats-during-the-deadlift

Traps aren't actually that important for deadlifts. At least not when comparing to the lats.

I got like 4 reps with this weight last cycle, so it could be worse lmao. Of course, the cycle before that I got it for 7, but beggars can't be choosers

Thank you so much

>the guy
Kelly Branton, a CANADIAN who won bronze in squat, bench, and total, not to be confused with an Aussie junior who won a squad tear despite bragging about "looking forward to my massive PRs at worlds" on his IG.

I mean, you'd have to be retarded to confuse a green-tinted screenshot of a bearded Aussie to the crystal-clear camera quality reserved for the open division of Branton. Don't even come here and disrespect world-class athletes again, do you hear?

Whoops, you were talking about the belt, weren't you? Tbh a 1.2 lb loss shouldn't cause it to be as loose as it got

I'm sorry sean

>only traps fill out a shirt and you have no shoulders and look tall rather than broad

how do i fix this

Body re-composition is real, lad. Especially if you're lifting hard and eating right on your cut. Not to mention the fact that you're not carrying as much water weight/bloat.

You and trappy are BOTH fucking retarded

What trappy wrote makes sense though.
And what do you think the traps do during the deadlift?

Have shoulders, too

Did you not watch the Algerian shrugging his deadlift to lockout?

Well 1 lb a week over the course of the month will make it looser.

What is LOCKOUT

No, I mean it fits pretty well the week before my deload week. And then after my deload week, it's loose as fuck.

but the only part of me that fills out a shirt is my traps and I think it looks weird af.

I'm thinking of running memeburn for The Press on my bench days, and also doing some standing DB press.

Cause the judges in this comp were on LSD

Just like butt off the bench isn't grounds for red lights anymore, apparently.

He bar move straight, no hitching, no dipping. He's just so strong that he can shrug it up and drive shoulders back.
And don't know what you mean, they called plenty of benches on butt. But they let Williams slip despite his head coming up.

Yeah, that happens sometimes. Water retention can be weird.

No

Bar went up and down from the shrug

And I agree his head came off. Just like plenty of butt-off benches that also got white lights.

You're absolutely wrong

>6x10 squats today

Wew lads

Yea you're retarded
Do some rack pulls and tell me what muscle you feel tommorow

You can hear the announcers say "is that candito?" Then invite him over to the table you fucking idiot.

>get more of a forearm pump than a bicep pump from curls
Weeeew

I'm literally 3/3 for this happening after deload weeks mang and I only have two holes left in my belt

Nice programming lad

>inb4 your roid raged response because you can't take criticism of any kind

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little shit? Ill have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and Ive been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and Im the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youre fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and thats just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldnt, you didnt, and now youre paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. Youre fucking dead, kiddo.

I do rack pulls every week.
You're just doing them wrong or your traps are stupidly weak. That's why you feel them.

JPs favourites hahaha

Seriously do you think I normally run my program like this?

Do you think Dietmar doesn't know what he's talking about?
