/plg/ - powerlifting general

also

most threads quickly turn into chatrooms for the trips, where they get their bantz on talking about non-lifting shit

this

Yea, that's why I think having limited trips is a good thing.

Meh, no amount of whining can fix it at this point. The problem is that the community has changed and /plg/ is different people save for a few. If we're lucky it may change again one day.

I tried to watch an episode of Archer but the main character's voice annoyed me so much that I had to stop

also my scaps are all over the place when I bench, how to stabilize

Nobody's whining, just discussing why they think plg isn't as fun to be around.

It's this attitude and assumption that everyone is mad or bitching that drives a community apart. Nobody is angry lad
Nobody is whining

That's just what YOU think it is

This is how every general on Veeky Forums works. Moot talked about it, back when he still loved us ;_;

I know you just posted the last line so you can talk about non related shit

But you retract your shoulders better when your back is strong. So Pendlay rows or something, perhaps with a controlled descent too.

>nobody is angry, nobody is whining
Have you been here even once in the past few months?

its unfortunate, this place was pretty goat (except for benchbros muh depression threads)

Rarely tbf

every time I try and post I get called Sean, a woman and to KYS

:^)
maybe it's weak in general because it's not staying stable in pulls either

it's more that I start with a good position during the unrack then it comes apart when I'm about to start the first rep

I see. I'm surprised because you are a very strong dood.
I'd guess just try harder at retracting, make a more conscious effort

Or go full ham on upper back lol. Loads of rack pulls because they're fun as hell

what are you stats now

I remember I used to think you were pretty strong but not way ahead of me

Would have to see your actual setup and benching to tell.

All I know that for me personally, after unracking the bar I literally let it sink for a good 2-3 cm, which is caused by me letting the entire weight rest solely on my shoulderblades.
This brings them in pretty much perfect position.

And from there I only lose it over high rep sets.

>strain my right quad
>can't deadlift or squat for almost 2 months
>deadlift gone to shit

a-at l-least I increased my bench by 12kg and my squat remained the same

I haven't maxed anything in forever, especially the big 3, so 160/115/235 for lack of actually testing. 95/125 on sn/cj if that means anything

spend most of my time either doing technique work on snatch/clean+jerk or bb now. I'm a bad role model, considering I'm always injured. Right now I'm nursing a back issue

>usually spend a full minute setting up for bench
>setting up for bench is harder than benching itself
>weights always feel heavy on the body
>one day decided I can't be fucked to set up bench
>retract shoulder blades and just lay back on the bench
>ROM increased fucking loads
>only lost 1 rep on my sets
>felt more in control
>felt like I could grind reps easier
>tfw torture myself setting up for 1 extra rep

pls be kg

Stone

What's up with the amount of reps / sets for OHP on candito 6 weeks? Why so much volume on almost every week?

You might be misreading something man, because I'm pretty sure candy only prescribes like 1-2 sets for 'shoulders' on the upper days. Could be wrong tho.

I'm really feeling the loneliness and isolation recently, I've almost had panic attacks again yesterday, too many people in cities, i just can't cope with crowds. It was a cold day and i was sweating.

What are we training/ did we train today lads?

Esmeralda? I Thought you died posting high test bears

Mobility work for dat dere arch

...

Wtf you're strong

I highly doubt that you can bench 6x 465 pounds.

:^) I just put in 600 for max so you guys wouldn't bully me

Black people don't look human to me
Why

1 rep per set. That's a huge difference.

Drew what white people look to me and what black people look to me

Left is Alex btw
Right is that black guy with the blonde hair who used to post here

sketchtoy.com/67196157

Maybe to you but not to me

Those who do not like the c6w, can you please state why
>inb4 program made by a child

>Batshit insane intensity
>low volume

oh and
>bench

>fever
no wonder yesterday's workout sucked

>remember when the only (relevant) trips were just BBro, GBro, Norse, Buda, Bodorio and Isley?
boardshitter roid faggot BTFO

Taking a bad shit lads

Which of your muscles atrophied that one time you were injured?

Honest feedback pls

sketchtoy.com/67196246

No, Sean you fucking retard kys

Feedback pls

sketchtoy.com/67196258

Has anybody seen Bugenhagen wrestling?

KYS Sean you're obsessed with him

Deadlift 200X7 yesterday no belt but with straps. Maybe go for 240 or 250 on Sunday now.
youtu.be/E6PAlOWHImk

It's Dino, not seen

Nobody gives a damn because neither of them actually talk about lifting and neither of them compete

Also they act like assholes 24/7

They should both go back to insta sink or watch 2gether and KYS so the other can watch

I failed a squat and I'm afraid of going back to the gym desu.

>hurr durr the problem with plg is new trips i wish only old trips existed

You know you were a new trip once, right?

Fuck off.

Also kill yourself sean.

The irony is me, dino, just told you to KYSO Åland called you Sean

Also it's not me

Joffrey wants it to be me because reasons?

Why did I turn finnish for a second

I'd love to be in that much control of the bar
What straps do you use
How do you control your descent?

When pulling sumo should I try to use my glutes when breaking off the floor?

N

Y

Better find a new sport then

Emeralda I'm going to fap now

Post ass now

Clap clap

I don't have chains in the gym. What to use as replacement for chain exercises in Sheiko medium load?

The truth is that the older trips were objectively better than the newer trips

They were stronger, more helpful, and they spent more time talking about training in between the banter

A lot of the new trips are very similar to the instasync crew that came in and made this place quicker and more annoying

Rolo, Sparrow, Sean and the rest of them were more concerned with being a master memer then actually getting strong and not being a dildo

TL: DR the old trips are mostly normal and the new trips and instasync crew are all mentally ill and weak

Clap clap

A little more straight weight, slingshot, pause halfway up, the world is your oyster.

How does a female-to-male transsexual masturbate?

Pretty much this.

There was a turning point, PLG went to shit overnight.

before
>people discussing all aspects of training and how to get better
>actual helpful shit
>occasional original meme
after
>muh ebin meems
>muh attention whoring sluts who arent even attractive
>muh driving away actual cool and helpful people

It literally flipped from one thread to the next.
Maybe the thread is suffering from popularity syndrome.

This thread is particularly shit

It's modern internet culture that killed this thread

Take example from these shit posts
Low effort "KYS" replies
stupid trap/namefag drama

The entire general discourages actual discussion

Especially the rows / face pulls / jefferson/ what ever memes

It's an ECHO CHAMBER in here
If you disagree with someone's training philosophy in 2025 plg you'd discuss it and convince each other why you believe such

Now you gather round with people with a similar opinion, make some same fag posts and type
Kys
You're fucking retarded
You don't know what you're talking about
KYS
you're a woman

thinking of yoga lads

Very true

This is also why the old trips occasionally stop by but don't even talk about training or their competitions or much of anything helpful anymore

It's basically a waste of time because Sean will start talking about his butthole and spam the thread until nobody wants to talk anymore

I hope his endgame is to kill all the trips and then KHS

>2025 plg

Unironically took a tip from T-nation and started doing wrestler's bridges and it's fixed most of the pain and tightness I have from my neck to my hips. I think there's a lot to be said for rolling around on the floor desu, and there's a lot of ways to do it.

Is it not 2026?

I'm in the wrong time period again aren't I...

>the year is 2025
>Rasputin just hit 1000lbs total
>Isley, Boradshorts and Trappy are married together
>Nick Wright and Maxx Chewning both died in a deadlifting accident
>Trump remains president of the north american union after annexing canada and mexico
>china is in a state of war with the English Empire after Hong Kong joined the EE in 2019'
>I still haven't been laid

>2025
>we all have 1700+ totals
>transportation updates allow us to compete against each other in person world wide with ease

>blaming sjohn

Some of the older trips contributed to the degradation just as much.

I get that at some point you have discussed everything there is to discuss but if you have nothing helpful to say just shut the fuck up until you do.

>if you have nothing helpful to say just shut the fuck up until you do.

So you're implying that cszchwan doesn't endlessly spam garbage with no substance?

> but bodorio memes sometimes

This general now has at least 2 trannies. That's 2 too many. At least traopy is bangable and helpful.

I'd marry boardie desu

It would be a sexless bro marriage of convenience but it'd be sweet. No Brazil nuts needed.

Can you use only the first 3 weeks of Candito? And then just add 2.5 kgs?

>So you're implying that cszchwan doesn't endlessly spam garbage with no substance?

No, I'm saying a bunch of them are no better than him.

Also trappy needs to lose the fucking trappy part and just post like a normal person without drawing attention to his "gender".

He makes quality posts sometimes but keeps drawing faggotry to himself with that name.

It's like the people spend most time in plg are the ones who ruin it the most. I guess that goes for all of the chains. : ^ )

>Rasputin just hit 1000lbs tota
Least believable part tbqh

yes

Predictions for the future
>Isley will regretfully fug a trap
>Boardshorrs will develop what he believes to be a cancerous tumour and quits smoking in fear, even after finding out its nothing
>GBro will never reach his goals
>Sparrow will quit lifting and becoming an Asian stay at home house wife for her husband
>Esmeralda will OD
>Joe will get shot as a cop
>Sean's business will fail and he'll drink himself to death
>Buda will have her another child
>Bodorio will finally go worlds and get done for doping

These are my predictions

I am pyscick btw

>>Sparrow will quit lifting and becoming an Asian stay at home house wife for her husband

Does Sparrow lift atm?

Sparrow and Buda doing well.

Arguably Joe too, getting shot in the line of duty is kinda cool

Probs no

Any good tips for using belts? I can't get anything out of it in deadlift.

>THOUGHT IT WAS A MANNEQUIN IN THE BACK HOLY SHIT

>also everyone with a wilks above 200 is a tripfag

/plg/ has just turned into a self motivating tripfag farm.

When you trip, you must have some sense of obligation to not let down 12 year old betas see your progress, or to let down your other triphomos, so there is a benefit here, but it is
a t t h e c o s t o f t h e t h r e a d q u a l i t y

I dont think Ive ever seen an objective source or peer review journal ever linked in a plg

Because they don't exist

>Sean's business will fail and he'll drink himself to death
hopefully
