/plg/ - Powerlifting General

So what? I sometimes wear a kirby shirt in the gym.

Sean's probably passed out by now

it's not cringy if he's strong though

that's only cringy if you're a dyel

that may be cringy if you are of medium strength

I've been doing shrugs with 170kg for 3x10 on wednesday and on the second set at the 7th repetition my lower back started hurting, a stinging pain, but I finished the set and the workout (dips and lateral raises) but didn't do any more shrugs afterwards.
Well next morning I spent three minutes trying to get out of bed and every step hurt.
I went to work and all because I read that besides heat, walking around while not lifting anything will help.
Today is saturday and it basically still stings the same way it did on thursday.

Is this a thing that will heal with time? What is it called?

I think I didn't warm up my back/lower back enough on wednesday

when is trappy going to come back to me?

Why is that guy using straps? Doesn't he know if he can't lift it without straps he shouldn't be lifting it at all?

...

I'm widening out my grip in squats to alleviate elbow/bicep pain.

How the hell do I stay tight and stop the bar slipping?

plus pussy belt, abs should be strong enough to lift without one

Do you wish Princess Trappy would come back?

we need to talk

Ok

just had a 3some last night lads, i think im gonna skip my saturday workout today - im kinda sore all over

Kek the perils of the bum train.

You'll need your squat plug

It's a mixture of widening your grip slightly and pulling your shoulders back and down and pulling the bar into your back like you're trying to bend it over your shoulders.

r u sean

tfw all the swole guys at my gym only use dumbbells and laugh at me doing my silly barbell exercises

I'd like her to come back on steam and discord

But not plg?

There's nothing for her here

except dank plg memes

it's called stop ego lifting because nobody cares how much you shrug. don't fuck with your neck dumbass, do higher reps and control the damn weight

>alt-tab after playing PoE for I don't know how long
>5:30 AM

Guess we're staying up until 8PM so I can reset my sleep schedule

What is PoE

Thanks

i suppose so, as long as she's happy with her decision to leave...

I doubt she is. She's probably hurting

path of exile
the current race sucks, havent even passed act 1 normal

agreed, Veeky Forums doesnt deserve her
if she does appear around those lands i would still like to hear if she is ok (not everyone follows her steam or the discord) so pls do drop a hint if that ever happens

>ty for subscribing to my blog

vidya

It's probably a bit easier with felipe reaming her behind

8x2 diddys at 82.5% felt way harder than they should

Having a bad day is such a shit

Okay

Trappy blatantly stills posts here

Next time look in a routine thread, or QTDDTOT and you'll see she is there.

>she

Dont browse fit much outside of plg but took a look and didnt see any posts that were obviously her

she never posted in qtddtot and the last few routine threads I looked had no posts that were as detailed as the ones she used to make

That's because I lied.

:( y u do dis

Kek gods work

Post music to help me lads

How'd you build up to 5x3 of your 1RM?

youtube.com/watch?v=78g6uhRlP-I

Running sheiko and adding 10kg a month ;^)
So my max will increase by at least 30kg at the end + whatever else I add when maxing out.

It is working...

>It is working
Those were his last words,Godspeed absolute madman.

Although I have no idea how I'm gonna have to do 105% of my 20kg ORM for 3 singles....

So far I just do it and my body is like fuck alright and just does it

20kg inflated ORM**

I'm tripping temporarily until it's over and I'll see if it worked.
I'm doing it for all 3 lifts too

Kek, nice trip choice.

Going to go get a quick morning workout in in an hour then leaving for PLG MIDWEST MEETUP 2016.

Anyone have anything fun going on this weekend?

Wow it's the meet up already? Man this year has gone so quick.
I feel like January was only last month...

you gonna post pics for the plg family?

You lads be good.

This weekend is the calm before the storm - the restaurant opens next Monday, already looking at ~50 hours a week, 6 days a week. It's going to be wild, just a ton of fun.

>rolling spliffs with the dish-pit posse post shift

These dudes aren't old enough to buy their own tobacco, but they've got grams of that sweet leaf.

thought yanks didn't put baccy in their spliffs
or maybe thats not what you were implying

Get a pic doing the zyzz pose

Yeah, the meet is tomorrow. Time passes pretty quickly, and it just keeps getting faster as you get older.

Of course.

Sounds like a busy week, but fun. Enjoy getting high at work, kek.

>baccy in their spliffs
I'm too American for this.

B-but, when I do the Zyzz pose my small arms look even smaller (at least the one that's extended does).

I think it's because most tobacco is shit in the States. I've had German and English rolling tobacco, the stuff is fantastic. The only thing that compares is organic American Spirits - or any home-grown leaf you can find out East.

>Enjoy getting high at work

Nah, I ain't about that life no more. I was just busting up that these little dudes smoked me out.

that video description gave me cancer, the only tag missing in there is
>lobster sex

silicone hag...

how does one get the discord?

Since you guys might know.

If you get a quite severe muscle strain in arm, will the muscle shrink ie lose power for very long/permanently after it is healed?

Hit all 100 chins and dips yesterday as accessory for the first time on "the memelith".

Holy DOMS. Rhomboids, lats, chest...

It's like being a newb again :)

I did 100 chin-ups in as many sets as it takes a fair while ago.
I planned on doing it at least once a week. I did it once and never again because it is the worst thing ever.

WE'RE ALL GONNA MAKE IT BRAHS
WE ARE ALL GONNA SET GREAT PRS
WE ARE ALL GONNA GET OVER OUR INJURIES
WE ARE ALL GONNA LOVE LIFTING
WE ARE ALL GONNA GET QT GF
ITS GONNA BE GREAT

>the worst thing ever.
It's a good-worst :)

God speed tomorrow on your bench.

Thank you, I hope building the monolith doesn't destroy you either kek

The no gains general is that way
srs nice, sounds pretty brutal for something you don't normally do. Did you just do 10x10?

>been only 36 hours from my last bench workout where I hit some triples at 80% of my inflated max I've never actually hit
>have AMRAP at that same weight in 30 minutes
>have doms in my abs still from using an ab wheel for the first time in months thursday
>have to do some 80% squats after my benching

Wew, time to smash it.

>10x10?
I wish. Only hit a handful of sets at 10, then finished out with supersetted sets of 5.

Compounds before took some wind out of my sails.

>smash
Are you competing at the meet up, or just spectating?

I'm spotting and loading. I probably won't do another meet until I finish this Sheiko cycle and one or two more.
>doing an AMRAP today
>competing at the meet tomorrow
God, I hope not.

I like triples for time (got down around 15 minutes at one point IIRC), or sets of 5 on the minute.

So a friend of mine is hoping to get back into training this Autumn. He thinks his schedule will be Wed-Sat-Sun, and some weeks (8 weeks in total) might even just be Sat-Sun. Can only lift about 1-1.5h each time as well.

How would you schedule lifting on such a schedule? I was thinking of full body Wed and U/L on Sat/Sun, but what when he can only go Sat/Sun?

Think I'll make it an e-mail and get it shipped tonight some time. E-mail to get a bit more transparency.

>I hope not.
Lol, thought so, but just asking. I've jumped in meets for fun without skipping training days before just for platform practice and fun.

Hope it goes well, can't wait for pics and video :)

Good idea, thanks m8ey.

Did I tell you guys that I worked as an extra on star trek?

Sounds good holmes. I'll check tonight.

If he commits, I'm sure he could still drive progress, if he's not advanced yet.

Even bodyweight work could supplement on days between to limit detraining.

you were also a voice actor for a harry potter video game, we know

I feel like your frog mode is evolving into toad mode

He'll start from scratch, as he's been away for a long time. I'd consider him early intermediate when he quit.

>her
Why is Isley such a betacuk

Tfw bad sides of the bulk life

At least your eyes don't look as far out from your face.

I really dislike dumbbel rows. They feel awful.
The weight I use I could do a set of 30 but I keep it at 10 cause they just FEEL AWFUL.

Going heavy feels shit too

They are so good and they respond to well but I can't stand doing them

Anybody else got a lift like this?

...

how many slices of nutella toast this morning george lad?

Only four.

I hate it now but I can't eat enough cereal to be full and porridge makes me gag after eating every day for five years.

>BP @ 110/65
Why am I feeling so shit? Legs and arms are weak and heavy and I'm too weary to sit upright.

I abhor them as well.

you should try learning to cook!

George, you know these things called eggs exist. Maybe you could make two egg sandwiches with two eggs instead of eating Nutella toast. You can liven it up with some bacon, ham or sausage too.
