/plg/ powerlifting general

Honestly though, you aren't demonstrating pressing strength, you're demonstrating how much ROM you can cut off by contorting your spine and thinking you're actually "strong".

This is honestly one of the big reasons why a lot of people are put off by Powerlifting.

His name is Livia

>His

Should I answer it even if I never competed/started lifting four months ago?

idk just a cute girl

sorry

are you blind? she's obviously female

>using the Veeky Forums meetup picture of me

If they count it in a meet I don't really give a fuck.
It's not like everyone can just decided to arch harder and bam, they add 30lbs to their bench. It's a skill in itself.
Powerlifting IS NOT about being the strongest, it's about moving the most weight.

If you don't like it you can do another sport.

Why contribute to the problem? I am legit getting annoyed over this huge arching shit because it makes our sport look like a fucking circus, which is just another factor out of a few that hinder us from becoming an olympic sport.

you're an idiot

Refer to And to add, I get you're trying to be better at Powerlifting, but how can you honestly be proud of having such a huge arch and little ROM? Do you honestly feel like you don't look like an asshat to others, and also are basically "cheating"?

I just hate this shit because our sport has the potential to be huge but there are things like this and a few others holding it back tremendously.

also, PL would be a fucking joke of an olympic sport

also also, why do you care, their head, ass, and heels are down. are you that against people taking advantage of their flexibility?

also also also

Sick ad hom bro, I guess you have no argument you fucking brainlet faggot bitch nigga.

Are you the trappy poster too? Or any of the other shitposters?

kys

Do you hate sumo too? What a cool guy. This is the state of the sport. If you don't like it make a new fed and try to figure out how the hell to enforce that fairly or fuck off.
I mean shit man, I need all the help I can get with such a shit deadlift because of my dwarf arms.

seriously. that type of ROM is comparable to quarter squatting

(You)

no that's not me, sorry

Nope, just a buttmad user.

You can fairly implement removing sumo by just removing it, how wouldn't that be fair? Because some guys have better leverages for sumo? Boohoo.

Filled out the thing.

It's been 2 weeks guys.. Why hasn't /she/ come back yet? ;_;

Yup, I don't get how guys can be proud of having a big bench with 4 inches of ROM, it's literally the same as if you just had a flat back and did quarter reps.

These same guys will struggle to DB bench a quarter of the weight of their bench in each hand because they actually use decent ROM.

Too many bullies

(:

How are you gonna fairly implement bench arch? Minimum ROM? Not plausible. There's just really no conceivable and implementable way.
I'm sure the IPF is very concerned with your opinions about sumo and arched benching. Why don't you write them?

Stop, i'm already at my limit and you are only making me miss her harder.

If you can db bench a quarter of you're barbell there something horribly wrong with you regardless of your form/rom

I'm just going to everyone everyone shorter than me banned from competing. Ezpz.

If it makes you feel better, she probably lurks Veeky Forums now. Maybe she will read our posts

Can someone post the original Veeky Forums meet up image?

Good boy. Here's a cookie.

perhaps the humerus should break parallel - similar to how the femur has to in the squat

This is supposed to say "can't," surely?

>tfw got da sheiko spreadsheet edited with suggestions from haoni and estimated maxes put in

Hyped for tommorow desu laddos

Also in the nature of anonymity I didn't attach my trip to my responses.

I never said can't, I said struggle, aka can probably only do 5 reps

Shes just so cute

>this was originally born as a man

Wew what a time to be fucking alive. I wonder if I'll ever find a girl as passionate about lifting/coaching and qt on top of that in my lifetime cause that would be waifu material.

Yes because THAT'S what we need - more subjective judgement during lifts. Spine mobility is part of the Bench Press. If you don't like it, don't compete.

squatted monday's daily max for a triple @9 RPE :)

autoreg is so based.

THIS tbqh, romlets need to check their privilege.

subjective? It seems quite objective whether your arm bends at a specific angle or not. There's nothing up to speculation.

Says the guy who locks out his deadlift a half foot below the rest of us.

>when u can start to see your delt veins when you flex like a madman

wew.

all i need to do is lose 10 more lbs and 3 more months of lateral raises before they start to show up for real, methinks :)

:(

hnnnggghh! those lips were made for sucking cock

>those lips will never be wrapped around your dick

Why even live

Just get a bigger chest.

dont talk about my waifu like that

You're using waifu now..? Really? You said it's for weaboos only

If you're having to rely on judges who can't actually see where the bone is and have to look past three separate spotters at a viewing angle to judge the lift? Its gonna get subjective real fucking fast.

good to see you man.

hows it going?

what is going on in life?

how is training, bw?

You said I couldnt use princess anymore so now shes my waifu

you're waifu a slut, dude

This guy gets it.

Aww yeaa nigga, what was the triple for?

just make the vocaroo then you can

th-thats not her

>trappy having this nice of an ass

yea sorry, nah not her

westside bench is best bench

i added you on fb senpai pls respond thx

Going much better tbqh, enjoy my progress on this cut by tons, currently slowing cutting to under 120, sitting at 124kg bw rn in this pic

Going to maintain u120 for the rest of this year and do a slow af cut to 105s next year and get LEAN

>tfw chestlet

My deadlift ROM is actually more than most guys cause muh height, plus my lockout placement is normal, heres proof with a pic of my former more obese self

Ok bby 1 sec

looking good, man!

You're gonna look great as a 105. Are you going to compete still then? Are you going to stil ltake it "seriously" or not so much?

>tfw chestlet
IKTF, I'm withering away to nothing.

>chest isn't even 58 inches anymore

Gonna probably just be a deadlift specialist and try and get the open strayan u105 deadlift record which is like 320 rn, but overall I probably won't take it as seriously tbqh

Fucking disgusting senpai, how can you live with yourself?

One of the brissie juniors is apparently looking to give that record a boot right in the arse this year. Assuming he can replicate his gym lifts in competition its likely gonna get punted into the 340 range.

Hey man, did you have a nice birthday?

Awesome. Falling for the 'healthy lifestyle' meme, I see? :)

I dont really know what my end goal is for PL training...I hope I can just get to a point where I feel satisfied, come to terms with the fact that I will never be a world class lifter, and then do lifestyle meme shit like 5/3/1 while cutting a lot of weight and getting somewhat stronger.

My waist's already dropped 5 inches, that's how. Ezmode SHW cutting is best cutting.

Fuark, is he that guy who trains at SSG? forgot his name but he won junior nationals as a 105 last year

>tfw have to fall for the healthy lifestyle meme or I'll probably die young

>tfw FELIPE found and he doesn't even lift

>move the judges
>use a camera
it's 2016 you know

It might be. I remember seeing the vid of him pulling 340ish linked on facebook but I couldn't give you a name.

You really dont look like you have enough fat to lose for the 105kg class.

Dont pull a candito and fuck your lifts up please, Ill be sad.

>tfw want to hop on gear but muh bloodpressure
REEEEEEEEEEE i just want to be big, kinda lean and strong

The whole reason I'm cutting is because my blood pressure is all kinds of fucked up (210/140) and hasn't gotten better with medication, so last ditch effort is losing weight, if that doesn't fix it then possibly surgery

You finally resisted Wilks' desire to fatfuck you? Nice going.

Still training at Melbourne U?

>yfw I haven't even started trying yet
I haven't been tracking my diet at all, nevermind doing any kind of cardio.

Of course, if I'm being honest I'm just getting unfat so I can go on a rampage to monster status.

is the user who made this here? what was the final draft?

tension with the gf. but good food and squats so overall it was gr8

So where are you going to put the judges that won't have the spotters in the way? And how long are you going to spend checking the cameras on each attempt, since you can have several hundred benches in a meet.

>210/140

Holy fuck lad.

What

Holy shit holy

What

Why
How

Please stay safe

Fuaaark that sucks.

What kind of surgery? Cant you just drain your blood every once in a while like that one Russian?

>not adjusting columns width / centralizing text
triggered

You've never competed have you?

Good fucking god are you constantly having a heart attack?

M-muh genetics?
Got predisposition from both sides of my family, they all basically have hypertension

>What kind of surgery?
I can't remember, renal something something

Also never heard of blood draining, I'll look it up and bring it up with my gp

Nah lol, I have no symptoms at all, I just have higher risk of strokes and shit

>hypertension

Mate, there's hypertension, and then there's hypertensive crisis.

I might be misremembering, but I thought blood draining was meant to deal with a buildup of excess stuff in the blood (whether that be iron or blood cells or whatever) rather than hypertension.

Are you hurting tonight?

According to every gp ive seen they said it's serious, but not necessarily a crisis

Also it's not 210/140 anymore, it's like180/130 now which is an improvement, but has kinda plateaued there

I'll have to look it up later after the gym I guess
