/plg/ - powerlifting general

is this on properly?
first time using wraps, hopefully my wrist won't act up anymore

Ah mate I've been there.

Lived on frozen veg, super noodles, oats, fish fingers, Morrison's own beans and frozen chicken

Lads I've had knee pain and my knee has been feeling very unstable ever since I failed a squat like 5 days ago. The pain is still here but not as much and I can't squat because my knee feels so shaky.

Should I just take a week off squats completely and stretch everything out since all of my squat form ha been thrown off? Is that ok?

>British hours

How about we talk POWERLIFTING, how do you feel about natty norris going to ipf world's 2017?

What can I make with this

A disgusting skinny fat body?

Remove thumb from loop

Smash up A in a cup, mix in a healthy dollop of B, blend with C, drink it.

...

Tfw I'm still there

Now I like eating poverty food

I'm starting to think diet doesn't matter. I eat like crap but get stronger every week regardless.

if I'm a bench only guy, can I just do front squats? (including ham accesories)
I feel better muh legs, and feel more comfy in general, and I don't give a fuck about my leg strength soooo....

I think it matters more how much you eat rather than what for strength. Health-wise though, it's probably better to not eat shit.

>organic oat drink

Next time just buy 4 gallons of milk for the same price

It's like a pound for 2
I don't drink it anyway, I use it for cooking

Yeah agreed

I go to a crossfit box because it's cheap and they let me drop the barbell and offer additional courses like kettlebell and boxing and all that shit for free + a place to spar and this just happened:

>enter the gym day after boxing workout
>boxing coach is there
>nod, go to change my clothes
>buncha skinny dudes in fatigues there
>probably crossfitters
>change, start benching
>while I'm resting see someone who looks like Fil from the back
>live in another country it can't be Fil
>boxing coach comes up asks me if I'm going to take long
>tell him another hour and a half
>tells me to get my backpack apparently they're closing the changing rooms for some reason
>ok
>can't find my backpack? instead there's an alice pack in my locker, whatever, still better than my backpack
>shove my shit in there
>go benching again
>as I'm doing my 3rm back off set CCR prodigal son starts playing
>that's nice
>suddenly there's smoke
>I've been wearing fatigues this whole time
>bullets whizzing past me
>I'm benching a wounded skinny fatigue dude
>he's bleeding his legs are gone holy fuck
>that's why my 3x3 were feeling so light
>Fil is yelling at me to get up and charge
>VCs in the forest across the rice field
>drop in the grass, start shooting blindly, Fil is yelling something but I can't hear anything, a shell explodes nearby, all I can hear is PAINT IT BLACK PAINT IT BLACK

Crossfit is shit I'm never coming back there but at least I met Fil.

Clean bulk life for me.

>She says tucking into a burger

I haven't been hitting my calories....

why?

Eh, it's cringy, but so was I at 17. Honestly the most annoying part about that video was the 'Trying to get stronger while maintaining bodyweight' meme. He's 56kg ffs. As a beginner he has no business doing that.

Just drink the carton and eat all the biscuits and get rid of that fucking tartare sauce

You are really bad at telling stories
Dont do it again

Are you actually a bench-only competitor or are you just scared of squats? No need to actually answer this question.

Dipping the biscuits in tartare sauce rn
Sweet and savoury hm

illegal

In for bloody wrists from using tight straps too much.

Because the answer is the same?

Cinnamon Tartare you're a fucking animal

but does it have any benefit for when not competing?

gets you in a habit of doing it so you dont forget to do it in comp

How

You only pull low 100s at best.

Have some unsightly skin tag or cancerous mole or something

Should I run some anaesthetic on it and cut off?

Melanoma runs in the family btw

He's accepted the twink life

i don't think my whopping 120 bench is getting me to a comp any time soon

mole cancer checks are free and take like 5 minutes
in australia at least

Yes please cut it off and while you're at it just keep cutting

Pls stop cutting urself bby.

i benched 120 in my first meet Tbh

Benched 105. Come@me

Just applied the anaesthetic

Jesus Christ, Sean shut the fuck up and KYS already were tired of waiting

What a horrible thing to say

isley made it to worlds with 127.5
i think that counts as him coming at you lol

actually a bench only competitor.
(with just one comp)
But hey, I love squatting, front squatting.

What do you say to me?

>the whole package

well... that's pretty much my problem... kek

thanks for the sweet words tho

Wrong

125

Why don't you try actually bulking up a bit? Since your test is so low and you don't train upper I'm sure you wouldn't look too masculine.

even better for the point

when I squat(low bar), I can either track my knees to my toes naturally, or I can REALLY force my knees outwards in the bottom position, which seems to give me some kind of a bounce and puts quite a few kgs on to my squats. Should I do this or should I give up the few kgs so my squat can be more controlled?

Also, should I do low bar if I'm not going to be doing a meet for a long time forwards? Or should I build strength with high bar?

As someone who participates in the high bar off season meme, I honestly don't think it matters but for me it's an easy way to get in more volume with a lower injury risk. This is kind of a non-answer too but I'd go with whatever feels more natural. If that's a strong knees-out bounce fine, if that's control and even tracking fine.

Hi Veeky Forums. This is my first post here.
I'm reading Starting Strength and Stronglifts and I'm planning to get my own home gym.

If my ceiling is too low to do overhead press with bumper plates, will I get very similar results with a cambered bar?

What should I get from tesco? Need some small meal suggestions, I know what I want for dinner.

Need some stuff I can just eat for the next few days and not die

What a solution. I would have just done seated press.

>eat about 200 calories over old maintenance
>down almost a pound after just a few days
Neat. I might get to eat more, if that's not just water weight.

Get a load of frozen veggies. Get the one with the broccoli in, couple of packets of frozen chicken and a big bag of rice. Also a big jar of peanut butter with some cheap bread.

tfw you still have trouble not burying squats in the ground

I know these feels.
>averaging 3300-3400 cals/day and weight is just going up slowly
>maintenance used to be like 2600

I've never seen pizza and ice cream spelled like that

>the straps, they do nothing
My wrist might be legit fucked

...

no. I powerlift. I can't clean to save my life.

I know you're memeing but

DAMMIT CINNAMON SORT YOUR SHIT OR START DANCING FOR MONEY

Oats,milk,eggs,red meat,chicken,pasta,rice

I'm a beautiful man
How does that feel to know you're speaking to somebody you'd stare at in a bar or even in the street right now

>Says he's a beautiful man
>Posts no pic to prove it

I hold judgement on that feel

this is me

I've been looking for food and it all looks horrible

I hate everything

>when people save your 1st edition Fil

Can I suck your cock man?

I've been lifting since I was 14 (technically)
I am hygienic and have a decent face when lean

Guess
>how many gfs I've had
>how many girls hands I've held
>how many boobs I've seen irl

Closest wins a prize

FUUUAAAAARK
You sad matey? My way of making shit edible is sweet chilli sauce. Best value, can actually go on everything.

Urgh feel real tired now

I'm gonna throw zeroes down across the board.

I just don't like my food choices. All tesco sell are haring and cheap pizza. The only good food choices are boring and limited.

Honestly I hate eating

Close enough

That's what you get for living in England.

...

so you've held your mom's hand

Earlier Isley asked if I'm a man child like joe mobley

Well you got to be creative. Eventually you will learn how to make owt of nowt

I was like 8 or 9 I think and this girl held my hand when going through a haunted house...

She was like 16
Fell in love with her and she awkwardly turned me down in front of her friends

I still cringe till this day

For me

you just can't stop bragging can you
for someone so intelligent you seriously lack self awareness

>tfw you've slept with girls but never held their hand

That was too fucking sweet

That's typical isley. He found his new transsexual and lonely friend group.
He unironically got fat by eating brownies and sugar bread every day but continues to talk down to people who enjoy eating good quality food that may be calorie dense.

He should probably just kill himself in my expert opinion.

Hey you're flying in for the Midwest meet up right?

At least I had to try to get fat you useless sack of shit.
