Esmerelda please just go. Please.
That's still pretty good, especially for a 5x5

Since Bodorio is around, how much have you been training for? Found your Youtube channel, gotta admit I'm mirin.
Triceps is always important for benching, as it's the only muscle that handle elbow extension.
However, as the long head of the triceps crosses two joints, they also work as a "passive tendon".
Their attachment that crosses the shoulder joint is lengthened during shoulder flexion and transverse flexion.
This means the triceps is able to transfer force generated at the shoulder joint to help with extension of the elbow joint.
Which literally means your chest also causes with elbow extension, further reinforcing its role as the most important muscle in the bench press.
Pic related explains how this "passive tendon action" works. In the case of the triceps, it's the third example in the picture, as besides transfering force, it also generates force of its own by contracting and shortening its length.
(The triceps is able to shorten its total length even when getting stretched at the shoulder attachment, because its moment arm at the elbow is much larger than at the shoulder).
If you wanna learn more about two-joint muscles and tendon action, see this link about hamstrings and squats:

When you guys are squatting low bar do you actively try to push your elbows forward?
Mine always end up straight down,last PRs I even touched quads,fugg
My man.
HERE WE GO AGAINWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I try to keep them tight by my sides regardless of high/low, but I wouldn't say I try to push them anywhere, sounds like a recipe for elbow pain to me.
I keep my elbows up and my hands on top of the bar, instead of behind the bar, and I think about bending the bar down across my back.
Well I have a huge problem with them coming up while squatting (it isn't as bad low bar as it is high bar though.)
That's pretty abnormal, right? I though you were supposed to keep them at the same angle as your torso and pull with your lats to try to bend the bar across your back.
>I though you were supposed to keep them at the same angle as your torso and pull with your lats to try to bend the bar across your back.
That's what I do.
Though I keep my elbows higher than my torso.
Pretty much this youtube.com
Wow you sound strong what's your total?
Back from the gym AND IT TOOK 4 HOURS REEE
Anyway as I was saying
Pros:
>submissive fetishes
>dependant on you so gives you a reason to live
>emotional - wants to always cuddle
>loyal because she doesn't want you to leave her
>sad emotions can be turned into horny emotion
Cons:
>LIKES ISLEEEYYYYYYYY
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>Wow you sound strong what's your total?

>likes Cameron
Ftfy
you are pure cancer please kill yourself
mr degenerate DYEL transvestite
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>SHE SAID SHE'LL THINK OF SEAN WHEN PUTTING THINGS UP HER VAGINA
I'm done
Project Momentum or what?
>4 hours
So you only stretched and warmed up?
I dated a girl who was raped and had PTSD/depression and it was not fun. Knowing she's sad and there's nothing you can really do to help is a really shitty feeling.
Would not recommend dating girls with issues.
Hmm, I guess I'll just have Alex try to give me more advice and post some videos later.
As far as bracing goes, should I just try to keep my scapula back, take a deep breath in my stomach and push out, and pull the bar across my back with my lats?
Anything else I should do to brace properly?
Watch Chris Duffin's vids.
This one is pretty good for bracing cues youtube.com
But yes it's pretty much what you said.
127kg (58/69) @48
to be fair i am more masculine in appearance whereas you resemble a large baby with armpit hair
Pazam! I just got ruined.
Can't watch videos right now since I'm just on my phone at work. I'll just post some webms tonight with Alex's advice and see how it goes. Also, some people were saying I'm too focused on the sitting back cue at the beginning of my squats, do you agree with that?
>Chris Duffin
If you haven't tried Whiskey and Deadlifts, I would strongly recommend.
Lifting can be a great social event, if you find the right gym.
If your gym doesn't allow chalk AND whiskey on the platform, you're missing out :)
>69
bby don't put dirty thoughts in my head
>people here find it acceptable to trip with lifts like these
I'm going to have to hire thugs to beat you up
That's a weightlifting total, not powerlifting.
Then why is he here in Powerlifting General?
Would love to try that one time. The crossfit gym I go to while in the town of study seems bretty chill, could probably propose an event for the owners.
Why are you so mad? He knows more about powerlifting than you.
Fixed.
You misclicked there. Somehow it's higher.
he doesn't
No it doesntdoe
If some of you spent half as much training as you spend obsessing over trannies and the occasional /plg/ grill, we'd have some more respectable lifts around here :)
(no offense to any trannies or token plg grills).
>hit 1000lbs total
>check wilks
>280
I really hate being taller than you 5'6 Manlt 30000wilks fuck fuc fuck fuck you
why do you think anyone gives a shit about you, you're irrelevant
Well the thing about training is you can't just train 5+ hours a day and get better results (I definitely would if you could). It takes time and lots of recovery, so there's plenty of time to be training hard and still shit post.
>some of you
>plural
OH sweet summer child
How can I obsess when she's perfect?
I clearly said I spent 4 hours at the gym before coming home and obsessing over her
Stop trying to summon Sean.
Sinclair is not like wilks, the ranking for women and men are separate. You can't compare them 1:1
BenchJoe actively dislikes them as well so him and Sean is at least 2.
thats not what plural is you dumbass
Dont tell me i have to actually train to be a part of plg
>tfw elbow pain
It's the same for Wilks you dumb transsexual.
What kind if plates/disks are those?
There's two on each side of the bar yet the bar weighs 202kg?
Are they 45kg plates lad? or are there more plates and I can't see shit? Where the fuck do you get those.
They make 100lb plates????
lol how drunk are you
>anyone gives a shit about you, you're irrelevant
Don't respond to me then. I trip, so please filter me.
>you can't just train 5+ hours a day and get better results
Lol. I don't know... Max Aita worked up to 15+ sessions per week... guess he wasn't much of a shitposter :)
jtsstrength.com
I see what you did there. Mea culpa.
>I clearly said I spent 4 hours at the gym
Doing what? Fapping to mobile pics in the bathroom?
:)
How's your back doing, pal?
Ayyy what's up? It's been a while
If you must know I was going lots of good mornings
It's not sean, it's benchbeta.
Yeah but even he said it was a bit much
Also I've been there. Done that. Still rubbish.
>benchbeta
Youre the only one who says this ever. You and Isley when hes doing his drunk child impersonation
Max Aita wasn't natty.
Just experienced sleep paralysis for the first time lads
-5/10 would not recommend
>PL club arranging one of the regional meets coming up
>just volunteered to help set it up
feels strangely good
100% now, just training as normal
Uni, lifting, and sleep. Hows training going?
Seems fun desu
Not bad, certainly could be a lot worse
Did you have that chick come in and sit on your chest?
Plans for rest of today
>eat entire tube of raw cookie dough
>think about jacking off but won't because can't get interested in porn anymore
>bully buda on plg
What else can I add to that list!
Not in the slightest and I didn't even have any hallucinations
wat
Draw something and share it with us.
Usually with sleep paralysis, if they hallucinate, people see a woman or some sort of creature sit on their chest and make it hard to breath. It's not unique to one culture either, happens to anyone in the world.
What the fuck? How does that even happen? That sounds terrifying.
its the closest thing to sex some people get, not all bad desu
Oh yeah I thought people mostly hallucinated demons/shadow creatures. Forgot the stories about something sitting on your chest.
I kept my eyes intensely closed because I was afraid of hallucinations. I was actually able to move my right arm a bit and I was able to flex my torso but that was literally it for about 3 minutes until I was able to actually get up.
Post a picture of a cute girls face
Is she cute enough?
>Max Aita wasn't natty.
No shit, lol. Do you think a guy that does 15 near-maximal sessions per week would be the kind of lifter that doesn't take advantages when they can?
It is surreal to command your body to move and have it disobey.
I've had sleep paralysis a couple of times, and every time is absolutely horrifying. It's not the paralysis, per say, it's the paranoia and the hallucinations that make it just the worst.
You forgot the Whiskey
And tears.
I don't drink because I'm not an alcoholic
Tears are reserved for tomorrow
Yesterday I woke up with blood sugar of 25 after having bizarre sleep paralysis hallucinations + low blood sugar disorientation.
Thought I was actually insane for the 5 minutes I was coming to my senses
>48
The things I would do to you. Don't give me that look, I'm straight you faggot.
is that double overhand?
It's hook
dudes i've been getting sleep paralysis a fair bit recently
the fuck is the cause of this shit?
>someone asks if it's doh literally every time I see anyone lifting with hook grip
Are you getting le 8 hours?
It can be genetic, although unlikely if it's just coming up now
its called normal grip you tard
>the fuck is the cause of this shit?
If I remember correctly, you're supposed to get sleep paralysis when actually sleeping so you don't flail around like a retard mid-dream. Sometimes the brain fucks up and you continue paralysis after waking up. I don't think we know -why- this happens.
Also, I got a bit of somnambulism and never had sleep paralysis. Maybe having one "protects" you from the other?
considering manning up and doing my 2x5 pause squats today highbar beltless instead of low bar.
The only question is, is it worth it?
When I do low-bar, I don't get any bounce out of the bottom while I pause, but when I do high bar, even when paused, I can bounce down and up a little bit to get the rep up.
It seems to me that doing a pause squat this way would be counterproductive?
Is this main point supposed to be maintaining tightness or avoiding stretch or both?
idk, its really weird.
have you taken ecstasy before or recently?
apparently people report a connection between these things....
>sleep paralysis a fair bit recently
>the fuck is the cause of this shit?
Sounds like God punishing you for masturbating. Have you spoken to a sleep specialist to rule out punishment for fapping?
>the new iron man is a black teen woman with an afro
Someone fucking shoot me
i have autismo
Wat
Have you seen the new Hermione?
