/plg/ - powerlifting general

How's the novice p2w program working for you?

See Literally 150 lbs. I was skelly as fuck and I only don't look really small since the picture is at an angle.

no show some respect

O shit, guess I'll just cut to around 185-190. Starting to feel like 80-90kg is too light for someone over 6'

Anyone can link me a copy of beyond 5/3/1?

I think it just depends on your body fat. I think I'm around 12-13% right now (don't really know), so for me to look really shredded I'd probably need to lose ~7 lbs down to 168. I think as long as you don't go above 15% bf it's pretty easy to cut back down to having abs.

>wanting abs

>thinking everyone is a SHW

...

Are you happy now?

Everyone is referring to you as a she/girl
I hope you're pleased with how much you've fucked this general

:)

>being triggered by pronouns

Have you done your PR attempt yet lad?

C&J? Gonna do it today. Just not sure how I can even record it, there are no good angles in my room idk

You better figure it out

I need my daily dose of struggling boipussi

>In my room

you have weights in your room?

film it from behind or something lol

Yeah I train both in the gym and in my homegym.

>How's the novice p2w program working for you?
ok, just getting back to my pre-deload numbers. the 3-6 range means on a bad day i can still work out and make some gains without risking failing sets.

the switch to paused bench has been tough, but i feel it's led to better muscle development and better tightness at the bottom

>tfw you pass people in the street that are too heavy for you to deadlift
>tfw you're still so weak that you measure your strength by which fatties you can lift

> I train
Do you fucking compete? What's your fed, class, age, weight, and best competition total???

>switching to paused bench

I really need to do this. Touch n go is such a bad habit but I can't take the hit to my total, not yet at least.

6'1
225 pounds
20%bf
315 pound bench
480 pound squat
500 pound deadlift

Should I move up in weight? I am already over to 220 weight class. Instead of dropping five pounds I was thinking of gaining about 15 and being in the high end of the 242 class

I switched to only doing paused bench 2 months ago. Every single rep is paused now, even AMRAP and sets of 8+.

My e1RM has gone from 200 to 228 in those 2 months, so I'd say it's working pretty well.

Also

2 8 F R E E P R O G R A M S

Those are decent numbers at 165 classic raw.

if i had a homegym id watch porn and jack off in between sets how do you control yourself

I've got an AMRAP set today, should I try paused?

He doesn't even lift you moron

If you're okay with being disappointed in your result. When I started pausing every rep my 1RM was like 20 lbs under my touch n go.

>should I try paused
Does anybody in this thread powerlift? Watching people lift weights on YouTube does not make you a powerlifter btw. You have to go to a meet and lift in front of judges.

Reeee

Maybe next time

are you doing 3x a week int bench?
i dont pause my amraps cuz i dont want to fail and im dogshit at high reps

thanks

>decent

At 165 those number are 74 pounds away from being elite. It's 99 pounds away from class 1 in the 242 class. Which is still really good.

"Decent" is 1000 pounds

Yeah, 3x int med bench. Just hit 180x8 on my AMRAP today.

You're going to think this a shitpost but it isn't.

Im reading trappies guide because I am going to pick an intermediate routine for my next bulk but in the back of my head im wondering why im taking advice from a Brazilian tranny...

Is there anywhere I could go to learn about this shit? I just mentally why would anybody take advice from a Brazilian tranny?

That's like your first program being Jason Blahas 5x5.

Idc if all you do is churn facts from months of lurking and shitposting...why would anybody take lifting advice from a Brazilian tranny?

Like im honestly not trying to be mean why the fuck would anybody do that?

>my first program was Blaha's 5x5... I was really aesthetic after 3 months of cutting on it.

>20% bf
I bet you could cut down to the 93 kg class and have pretty good numbers there.

>that's like your first program being Jason blahas 5x5

???
His program is solid. It's just SL but with pull ups, dips and curls to avoid looking like shit.

Why are you asking this here? This is a powerlifting thread. You're not a powerlifter.

Fuck off and don't come back.

Raw? In what fed faggot?

Fuck me, narrow sumo just looks so.... right.

Will someone here please be my friend

Managed to pull ~20 seconds of my run time for my mountain run today lads.

nice, what day are you on?
Just finished up W3D1 today and i had to tng everything besides the first reps of triples because I was scared of failing

some guy was completely overexaggerating how hard W3D1 was a couple weeks ago. it wasn't easy but not extremely difficult either

1300 total at 242 is pathetic. Lifting 5x bw is complete garbage, even in uspa or usapl or whatever.

ye whats up dude

Just finished week 1 on my 3rd cycle, so I guess I've been running it for 9 weeks now. I finished W3D1 both times before with pausing every rep. It's definitely the hardest day, but if you're getting stronger it's not impossible.

W3D1 was hard for me, I got the 4x3 but the 3x8 killed me.

...

No fuck off you're not even cute

I will
Youre asian right? I dont see many fellow asians on here

sup dude

>"Decent" is 1000 pounds

Damn dennison has some low standards. I should do a bitch ass cookie cutter uspa meet.

exactly

I guess everyone in this thread is a 1500+ raw drug free elite lifters

Can you imagine a guy who weighs 242 totaling 1000 beating anybody at a meet?
Naw nigga

>970 total here
>normies think I'm buff and strong :^)

I said 1000 was decent for the 165 class

1300 is decent at the 242 class

Why would you compete without drugs and gear? Might as well just lift baby weight in your moms basement by yourself.

I got called strong when I was squatting 2.5 plate :^)

At my old university rec gym I would get people saying "whoa" and staring when I would pull 3.5 pl8.

Because I want to be strong the real way.

Not depending on a shirt to do it for me.

I have bad news for you kid.
No. Sorry. Those are beginner, "I train in a 24 fitness" totals.

yeah every other day was pretty easy and I could solidly pause every rep but the difficulty just shoots up that day. I maybe could've paused the 3x8 if I took a nap between sets but I was running low on time
how are your gains on it? this is my first cycle and Im looking for 5 lbs/week
high rep stuff is hard

>news

No one who goes to a place with the word fitness in it has a 1300 total

I doubt most of this thread can even raw lift 1300

That's fine. You fuckers would get laughed off the platform at a real meet

5 lbs/week is unrealistic. My e1rm has gone from 200 to 228 in 9 weeks. I'm actually really happy with that too.

Chill out seanposter, if you would ever compete you would know that no one would ever bully at a meet regardless of total.

I got 3rd out of 6 in my weight class at my first local meet with a 885 total at 74 kg :^)

lmao

>tfw Haack lifts at madtown FITNESS

>implying 2.5 isn't a warmup for me now

Probably not anyway. I don't see powerlifters discouraging anyone except here, and even then it's outliers like the weasel

how well do you think I would fare in the sub 66kg weight class with an 800 total

A few people would.

They're usually the ones who train solo because no crew will put up with them.

I would bully a 242 that can't squat 500 all day.

Good job?

>bullying someone with a sub 2xBW squat

Jesus man, be nice to boardie. He can't handle that kind of stress on his back :^)

Don't bully boardshorts. He's a cool guy.

Idk, that's okay but not really competitive. The meet I did had laughable competition. Competing is fun even if you aren't that strong though, so I say do it.
But >66kg
Eat food please.

Benni Magnusson lifts at a gym called 'Absolute Fitness Gym, Hair, and Beauty'

>5 lbs/week is unrealistic
NO
ill prove you wrong twink ;-;

Ye us asiatics need to stick together

I'm 5'5" though :/

I'm currently on a bulk rn though. I'm around 133 right now, and I'll stop when I hit 145 or 150

Well maybe an all time world record holder can get away with it. But these pussies can't.

Gibbs is shorter than you

Gibbs is shorter than you and 83 and still have a 6 pack.

No excuse to be a weak twink

true true... I might go to the 74 class I just am not keen on the idea of getting fat again

Fuck UP user, I said it FIRST
