/PLG/ - Powerlifting General

Probably a couple factors. He has to run his business, which isn't exactly easy. And he neglects his upper body a lot, compared to his lower body. And the specificity of his training is different. He'll do PL, then strongman, and then take a few months for oly, etc. I'm sure there are even more.

>only marginally stronger than me after training for so long

you're a talent-cuck

Imma call you retard now. Does it feel more or less insulting?

Squats are a primary strength exercise as much as they are a pl movement

There are busier people that are much stronger

This meme can't be applied to me

I honestly believe he doesn't try very hard

I'm not trying to hate on him just for the sake of doing it. I just don't know how good of an influence that he is desu

Neither. I don't really take it as an insult, since it's just a description of me, albeit a self deprecating one.

Very true

Im not hating
I love his videos

Excellent. Then I shan't feel bad for it

>this fat german-irish-italian mystery meat sausage is a 10 in america

He's not exceptionally anything though. And particularly not an accomplished coach. He just says very safe and unadventurous things (anything you can glean from any lifting literature) and is pretty charismatic. Just don't see the draw is all

>steroids != talentcuck
What is your training age again Aaron? And what is Thrall's?

He's been around since before I started lifting.

I started 9/1/2013

can alan thrall squat 2xbw?

yes, and he does it high bar atg

Started PL or started at all?

You have remarkable progress for that short amount of time if you're starting from nothing. Though you did roid.

>did barbell training fir years as a part of his volleyball training
>i obly lift fir 2 weeks XDDD

Came home after a new bench pr @ 107,5kg, looked in the mirror naked and thought "man, you're really doing work here."

Guys, when did you realize that you're actually one of those guys you once looked up to? :')
Glorious feel really.

>new bench pr @ 107,5kg
>man, you're really doing work here

LMAO good one

nigger runs that gym he posts videos in. he's probably got a WHOLE lot more going on than just the want to get stronger. life getting in the way of gains.

hmm seems to be significantly stronger than boardshorts despite boardshorts injecting anabolic steroids

kys hahahhah

t. >30%

>I'm not trying to hate on him just for the sake of doing it. I just don't know how good of an influence that he is desu

Regarding his strength compared to yours... remember: he's just a man.

Just like you. He happens to have a YouTube channel, but other than that... red blood, muscle, sinew, and most likely natural.

Also, FatRetard makes a good point in that Thrall trains across the disciplines, thereby reducing his PL specificity.

>many great coaches are bad lifters
True. Those that have to make up for lack of talent are often the best teachers. I've been faster and stronger than all of the "best" coaches I've ever had.

>not an accomplished coach
Not yet, but he's collaborating with some of the best YouTube fitness contributors (not implying that means anything).

At all. But I started lifting with planned progression so I really didn't have much of a "fuck around" period until I did a ppl for 6 or 7 wasted months.

I was very strong when I started out. Roughly 225/205/315. Pic is of me on my first pump. You can see I was one of those assholes that naturally holds on to muscle. I'm definitely on a pump here fwiw

Eh I suppose you're right. I don't even dislike him but it's not like I'm looking forward to his next video either

That gif gets good about a minute in

I hope you can help me guys.

you looked exactly the same after roids

you learn through failure

so you ARE a talentcuck

Ahh, ok.

Will update.

The crazy swedish guy was the dude who posted yesterday that said "mirin my arch" and had a ridiculous arch. I think he brought his feet in really close while lying down on the bench, then just pulled himself up--as in, super, super far up--and then down, and brought feet in more.

Anyone have the video?

>tradeoff

Yeah. I noticed this the other day, I think.

I was doing backoff sets of bench and was too lazy to change back into my heels so I just used the flats and it seemed to me like I got better leg drive (or something).

>i find that many great coaches are bad lifters themselves so i give him the benefit of the doubt
That just means they're coaching people with talent

That's why coaches only ever look for talented people

So they look good for doing nothing

Maybe in regards to starting. But that's not what matters regarding an entire lifting career

(You)

where is the most current aaron (with lifts, and weight included)?

I think you look better in the pic you posted last thread

How long have you been picking up weights

Who is Rolo, is is strong?

>That's why coaches only ever look for talented people
>So they look good for doing nothing

More like:
>so they look good for putting exercise methodology to it's best use for the right athlete at the right time in the right sport :)

I would never waste time telling a 5'8" male high jumper that he has the potential to "try hard" and become an all-state high-jumper.

hes a chubby turbo manlet that squats 300kgs, deadlifts 220kgs

Thx bby that's much more current

485/335/610

Just under 3 years

It took me more than a year to hit your starting bench and I weighed over 100kg

Let me ask you again, when was the FIRST TIME YOU PICKED UP A WEIGHT

Glad to know that even though I am fatter than you and shorter, my pecs look kind of like a big guy's

Just need more bicep work and you'll be pretty much perfect

>He isn't a bench talentcuck
Lmao

>Tfw you never got to tell her how you truly felt after all that time

Doing a comp rn talk to you lads later

>she will never verbally degrade you again

why even live

If you multiply all my lifts and bodyweight by 1.45 they're exactly yours. Kinda funny desu.

monkey arms Tbh

Never got form down either, not even now really

Trip on prutus

>Long arms
Not an excuse

>Shit form
Also not an excuse ;p

>thinking about 100kg squat
>Hnngh
>Soon

Why do you think you're good when you cant even bench 3 plates? kill yourself

>ywn spout rich panini memes to her again when you btfo her

>Mfw Twink Alex and Boardshorts will look the same and be the same strength in the future

>He thinks I actually think I'm talented
Lmao

>3 plates
Soon

>ywn hear that cute little yawn/moan again

I don't know what it is, I kept dropping in strength from week to week, missing reps even if I did a close weight at like rpe6 the same week etc.

How's your sleep, nutrition, programming, etc?

I realize sleep and nutrition was quite bad at the time.

Was doing SS. it was bizarre, like I'd do 77,5kg once, then attempt 80kg, get only a few reps, then next week not manage more than 70kg

>tfw manlet
I'll never make it to 248 without being a fatfuck

Sleep is the most important thing for recovery, even more so than food, imo.

Just have to believe friendo

This was my exact same experience on SS!

>ywn go balls deep in that ass

>ywn eat out that cute little butt

Yes I think so too, my CNS fatigue remained and multiplied with cortisol due to poor sleep. It's really the only possible explanation because I have quite good muscle volume and have gained size quite easily.
Never happened with other lifts though, just bench

shut the fuck up

You're making zero (0) effort to reduce that ROM, you don't have long arms.

It's simple: he's a garbage-ass motherfucker.

>ppl
>wasted

Speaking of which, I need to measure my wingspan. But I have. Moved my grip out and I'm arching a lot harder.

>locking out at bellybutton
>long arms

wew

belizean, 20 going on 21, hobbyist more than anything (~1100 total, supposedly im a bench talent-cuck and a semi-chad), i love asses and am not crazy about tits, i love memes and talking about lifting

You forgot to mention that you're a spic

>Torso can't be proportionally long

oh and my claim to fame is i started the first /plg/ instasync :^)

until you believed benchbetas lies and demodded me LOL

>gym in an hour
H Y P E

My back feels hewg

>tfw only found out that Trappy is br after you drove her away
>tfw can't ask for advice on gyms, where to buy stuff and other shit

Well lets see, still millionaire, 10/10 facial aesthetics, and fucked 85 women, gotta say i think i have it made

Then why do you spend all your time here?

just go to sao paulo and pound that boipucci for yourself

How come that number hasn't changed by more than 1 in the past year? You banged 10 girls a year and then you just stopped?

I don't know where to search
And I am in São Paulo

Can feel em tensing against the chair

Because I like it here? same reason everyone else does

>people have more sex in high school and college

wow shocking news, more at 5

poptart is on a transcendent level of irony desu. only me and wank understood him.

speaking of which, where is he?

>always brags about fucking 85 women
>hasn't added to the number in 3+ months

How to spot a liar, ladies and gentlemen.

just go to everygym until you see the blonde haired beauty

I guess I'll do it, at least at the gyms in my region
Does anyone knows what time of the day she went?
