/PLG/ - POWERLIFTING GENERAL

I've started running just this month or so because I need to get down to 66kg soonish, and my cardio needed work anyway, not in the best of shape.

>66kg

I hope you're short, user. It's not good to cut to such twinkdom.

>66kg

You're either 5'4 or you don't belong here. Alex and I are the twinkiest anyone should go

Cancerous opinions from weak closeted homosexuals

What's new...

...

5'6 and a bit, yep. only weight class my pathetic 450kg total is worth anything in, so hopefully I can cut and not lose much of that. 66kg doesn't even look that skinny at this height anyway, I'm at about 70 right now, not much to drop really, definitely got a bit of fat left to go.

>replying to it

450 total at 70 isn't bad at all. It's probably better long term to keep bulking though and get stronger. I think 5'6 people can eventually fill out 74 or 83 while being really lean.

Dayum it was lit af last night

>they're this mad

>Alex and I are the twinkiest anyone should go
nobody should be as twinky as either of you

haack and gibbs are in the same weight class as me tho

...I guess

sorry I didn't realize you are built like them an had intentionally competitive lifts

maybe after my next meet then.

>that file name

This board is amazing

dude Veeky Forums is the comfies

but look at all those standard national records

they're literally begging me to get in those ipf record books

What the fuk are you kiddos doing here?

I lift sometimes.
idk why isley is here tho

Looking big m8,did the chemist give something to you?

>have masters degree in history from a good university — read: where humanities aren't left-wing indoctrination trash
>check Veeky Forums
>mfw

additionally, Veeky Forums is filled with the typical military-history-fetish amateur historian
most threads are boring as fuck

I'm talking to Veeky Forums fags, who are encroaching on my sacred grounds.

>he just bent over and picked it up

>most threads are boring as fuck
it's like how every thread on Veeky Forums is just GUYS WHAT DO I SAY TO GIRLS TO MAKE THEM LIKE ME and GUYS IS IT OK IF I EAT 2 EXTRA CALORIES TODAY

just gotta sift through to find a good one, yaknow?

deal with it nerd

...

Yup

It's cancer. Amusing cancer

I skipped the gym again today like last week

Incoming Worthlessley

What are we training today laddos

>tfw I keep inflating bench

>mfw my bench is bigger than your squat

Veeky Forums really has a lot in common with here really, problem is the ridiculous advice given out in some threads has real world consequences for some poor beginner. the arguments you'll get here are as bad if not worse, some threads are just horrific to skim through, especially when Veeky Forums gets on to discussing diet, or programming.

I'll catch up to you one day faggot

No you won't, you'll quit lifting to live with a Brazilian trap you sinful faggot.

Yeah you will

All wrong, like this

I hate to disrupt the shitposting but I have a real question

I had my gf spotting my bench today and it was at least 1600x times easier than normal bench.

How do I tap into these spotter gains when gf isn't there? I'm too aspie to ask the other regulars for a spot

Can you give me a lift off? don't touch the bar unless it is going down

watch porn before workout

gains will double if it's hentai

This

>nods
>lifts the bar up for you
Every time

Learn to un rack the bar you aspie

believe in yourself Tbh
spotters do nothing

no. don't ask for a just for a spot, tell them to not touch the bar unless it is crashing down towards your throat

>Repressed homosexuality edition
>tfw it's actually true
i'm never going to be happy. 25 and celibate and only hate. all i do these days is lift

Why did you skip nigga

I can unrack it brah, it's more someone being there that makes it easier.

except hand out gains

I'll do this tyty

>it's more someone being there that makes it easier

Life is being a dumb cunt as usual

I personally have stumpy little manlet arms, and unpacking the bench always leads to needing a closer grip, or moving my shoulders out of an optimal position

having someone unrack can add like 5 kilos to my max, often more.

>except hand out gains
i honestly dont think so
unless you unrack too far up the bench in which case... fix it

Lower the rack.

oh you are using a bench with fixed heights?
my condolences

Pretty sure my unrack is good since it used to be shit and now it's fine. It's more wanting to press back towards my head but I cant because the fucking rack is there that's the issue atm

>but I cant because the fucking rack is there that's the issue atm
then youve went too far
im taking for granted you are using good equipment tho so whatever

405x1 Deadlift aka the Lith Special

gtfo you weak piece of shit

I can't go too far forward cause my lats aren't good enough to bring it from behind my head to my shoulder line

I rack pulled 150kg for 1 rep today thank you very much

That's a different mindset, lad.

I find benching without a spotter is nicer because if you don't get the weight up then you essentially die. Whereas with a spotter, your mind says it's ok to fail or bail a weight because someone is there to catch it. Obviously I don't bench very heavy weights yet, but at my novice level this works. Just releasing some thoughts here.

Anyways yeah just ask someone to spot you and don't be a bitch

>I find benching without a spotter is nicer because if you don't get the weight up then you essentially die.

Abusing your bodies response to imminent death is a good idea but I bench inside a cage so if I fail the rep I just release my arch and it sits on the safeties

>take the safeties off

>no

>if you don't get the weight up then you essentially die
or you do the roll of shame
or you actually set the safeties at a correct height i.e. low enough so that you don't hit them when touching the chest but high enough that you don't crush your throat when letting the weight drop on the safeties

its a balance of being up the bench enough that your unrack is only a small movement
but not so far up that you hit the hooks
if you are in a rack i dont see how this can be a problem

when i unrack my chin is roughly under the bar, and a lift off doesnt make a difference to it

You need to find a balance between being unable to unrack without a ton of effort and being too close the the rack.

I hate being stupid. I'm a solid B student for the most part.

I thought I was above average and then I found out almost everyone I know got A's and A*'s in their A-Levels.

I thought it was so smart half assing school and coming out with a few Bs and a Cs.

Turns out I'm STUPID

>islet bragging about his bench

I remember the days when you were roundly mocked for your babby bench. How did you fix it?

garage bro gave him some 'tips' when they met up

He ran the wilks cycle and went on a huge cut. His bench got better on the wilks cycle and he gained a lot of walks points by cutting.

Equipped bench singles 3 times a week (including maxing to warm up for them), and gaining 10 kg

Have static holds ever helped anyone?

I kind of want to unrack some heavy ass weight and hold onto it like the father I never had.

...

As in deadlifts? Yeah, They did wonders for my grip strength. I usually did something like 5x1 for as long as I could. Weights usually at 110% my 1RM or so. Had to stop doing them on Sheiko, but I'm probably going back when I start the 28 memes.

>not understanding that the point of my post about benching without safeties is to get that adrenaline rush of pushing through the last rep because if you don't get it up you'll have to roll of shame

>doing the roll of shame with over even 100kg
Goodbye ribs.

>not being able to support 100kg on your chest

Just paused benched 190x9 at rpe 9.5 :^)

How much does islet bench now?

Can anyone help me with keeping my ass on the bench. As soon as the weight gets heavy my ass flies up like I'm trying to fuck the air

Nice, what was your bench when you started g nucks

3x intermediate?

try to get in a position that gets your knees below the bench, can be easier said than done
bench height if you are not using regulation equipment can also be a factor tho

same brah
go to a psych and get diagnosed with ADHD for the sick adderall gains
you'll have A's in no time
I did this way to late in my college career but once I got it my grades skyrocketed

ah nice is it time to cry about my A level results again

oh my godd I am so royally fucked all my options are gone all the universities said no and I can't retake my life is over and my parents are kicking me out and I failed on squats again

but improved my situation from yesterday, got an interview with the army lined up two weeks from now, hopefully I can get my fat arse to do 1.5 miles sub ten minutes, then I'll be starting as a sapper or an officer soonish. in the meantime I've got work doing data entry at some solicitors firm for the next few months getting some horrendous £20k, then I'll be starting an engineering apprenticeship with some big company up in London (I's be going to find work in the city I be) or the army / navy. so not the end of the world I guess.

Also
>I'll shake my head when I want to you touch the bar

FACTS:
Planks are the best core assistance

Reverse hypers are the best spinal erector and glute assistance

Dumbbell rows are the best Latimus dorsi assistance

Dumbbell flies are they best pectoral and delt assistance

You should overhead press, even on a powerlifting program, unless the program is a short term peaking program.

These are all facts.

In mid April I got 193 in a meet and at the beginning of may when I started Nuckols my gym pr was 200 paused. I've put on 11 lbs bw in that time.

Yeah, 3x int med with added accessories on day 3.

brits can't get there hands on addy I don't think.

...s-serious? I might try this

Back is healed after a few days rest, my erection is at maximum strength just thinking about getting back in the gym today to squat.

Fucking healing Chads I swear,my back has been shitty for 8 fucking months

Planks. Side planks. Weighted planks.

Take 2 weeks off and go play in a swimming pool every day.

go away nerd he can squat if he wants to
