/plg/ - powerlifting general

who?

Ah a gmail user, how do you like their service?

It's a throw away I made for you to send me your complaints so they no longer take up precious space here

Pic related (sorry if you're eating)

That's not what I asked

You don't get to ask questions around here

JUST LOOK AT THAT SCHNOZ

As PLG ambassador I do in fact "get to ask the questions around here"

No you do not.

Literally looks like a Vulcan

Am I supposed to recognize her?

Wait not Vulcan those other Star Trek creatures with the fucked up noses and shit

Are you sure you're not the beta orbiter here? You have pictures of her saved to your computer.
I don't have a single picture of her.

>her

>2×full glass of orange juice
Woah there lad. All else sounds scrumptious as. What's your TDEE?

> A FUCKING LEAF
>ginger
be careful

You're right, I meant to say my princess

>Why is Taylor in the guides?

>ginger

That's so 2015 lol I'm apparently this guy now

Ballsy move to post your picture just to claim it's not you.

Doesn't make me change my mind in the slightest

Didn't you just think I was a ginger

I'm different guy

The beta orbiter?

You can call me God

I think I'll call you BO (short for beta orbiter )

Short for Boss? Okay

For the user who asked me to draw him with trappy chan

If I send you my complaints, will you respond?

I won't read them, but feel free to send them.

Is the hand from trappy or coming under the bed from a third party?

Third party

I see and what's the background story/inspiration for that?

Someone asked me to draw them asleep next to trappy

How do I highbar squat?

Yes but why the third party
What inspired you to do that?

Just sit your ass down lad xDD

Humour to an otherwise dull image

Do I need to squeeze the shoulders?
And the grip can be wider, right

>no new mail
Glad none of you had any complaints

Fuck you
You said you wouldn't read it

If you have a complaint then email me, don't complain here.

I love you

Using the old OP for a thread filled with these mentally ill weak degenerates is embarrassing and borderline Blasphemous.

It's like wiping your ass with the Mona Lisa.

If you're not going to talk about lifting then shut the fuck up. Go orbit people in /soc.

If this is the only place you have to experience human relationships then you need to KYS.

Mods and janitors, you guys can lick my fat fucking nuts because you guys couldn't moderate your way out of a wet paper bag.

I never thought Jason Blaha could be right but he just posted a video about how dangerously mentally ill future psychopaths are lurking fitness-related message boards. I guess I know which one he was specifically talking about.

Go fuck yourself, fit ant and plg. The beta orbiters have inherited the board.

I want to ask to talk about powerlifting but there's no point now that I can't lift anymore.

I guess this thread has to stay shit

Report sent

So what do I do now?
All my muscle is going to atrophy, I'm going to get weaker.

Also I'm mid bulk so I've got to cut, thus become perma skeleton.
My appetite is great for a bulk, shit for a no lifting faggot.

What

Now

so like did isley really kill a little mammal?

This just sucks, I gave up so much to lift, spent so much time and it's just been taken away from me.

I'm going to lose
>my confidence
>my strength
>my muscle
>my hobby

I have nothing

>how do I highbar squat
>highbar squat
>highbar

Do we, the lifters, have another place to go?

What happened?

He may be injured or want to do it as accessorie work.
Not that powerlifting is even limited to the low bar squat.

John "Gold medalist" Haack squats high bar

Gym closed down forever, there's none others I can get to.

Build a home gym, or drive very far.

Will lifting make me lose face fat? I have a strong jaw but it looks awkward because my face is kinda chub.

thats right, keep doing low-bar, you'll surely hit 4pl8 before me that way :^)

things to remember
>brace hard
>knees out
>hip drahve

strengtheory.com/squats-are-not-hip-dominant-or-knee-dominant-3/

this article also explains some good biomechanics when you're fiddling with your setup

How do I move forward less on my power cleans? I end each rep about an inch or two forward from where I first pulled. I'm racking the weight fine, but I feel like I'm losing power by not staying in the same vertical plane.

Push your knees forward and outwards, catch the bounce and press back up. Don't let your knees travel backwards too fast though as you stand out of the hole. You want to keep the tension on your quads

Eating less will make you lose fat.

Lifting will make you retain or even gain muscle.

You're in the wrong general, m8.

Can't do either of those, impossible.

>Eating less will make you lose fat.
took me 3 years of denial to accept this as truth

knees forward has been a game changer for me. i used to think that my body will naturally find its strongest position (hips shot up early, folded forward at the sticking point), but then i took some alan thrall advice and started keeping my knees as forward as they can go and my squats felt and looked to much better after that

Lifting won't do shit, just watch what you eat so you lose weight/fat.

>tfw still haven't recognized my full potential since have not squatted belted up yet

Watch yer' back nigga

Yeah

It was dying on the pavement.

There is no healtstay insensible healthy mice that lies down in the open and doesn't react when I place a rock on it.

So I euthanised it.

Consider a new hobby, like rock collecting.

A belt isn't some magical thing that will make you squat 20lbs more.

Please meet up with me and beat my head in with a rock

:/ RIP ratto

one time i saw a dying possum in my back yard and crushed its skull with a broomstick and felt like satan

exactly. a belt will make you squat 40lbs more

It actually is tbqh

Okay Sean

100 Dundas St West, Toronto, 5AM Friday?

>felt like satan
Why

Wearing a belt helps keep you stable and all, but if you're not used to using one it isn't going to do a thing for you until you understand how to use it.

i was like 11 and it felt like murder. took me a while to accept the whole "We're the apex predator, we shouldn't feel guilt" thing from Chronicle
youtube.com/watch?v=2vJc2FFqzaI

okay lets say you're squatting 300lbs beltless and you never used a belt before. reasonable projections say you're supposed to hit 340lbs maybe a month from now. if you train with a belt on submaximal loads for a couple sessions, you can hit 340lbs under two weeks vs a month

youtube.com/watch?v=4oXDZMsjvUM wrong link sorry

Thoughts?

I suppose that's a reasonable assumption. It seems like something that varies by people though. I've squatted 10lbs from my max while beltless before, but it looked worse than my max.

i find that my beltless squat has very little room for error/form breakdown. so if i'm failing a rep, that's it. but if i have a belt, and i'm about to fail a rep, i can grind it out and be more likely to finish, however there will be a lot more form breakdown.

hey lol who you trying to trick this general has been nothing but tripfag drama since hiroyuki invented the name field

tripcodes are older than /plg/.

Are you beign ironic with me

The strongman gym has ONE power rack, a bunch of machines and lots of cardio equipment.
I also can't get a license to drive there for months, plus money is an issue.

It's really it lads.

I'm in so much disbelief.

My life's hit a dead end and I have nobody to talk to

it might have been a joke mate, I did try to make it pretty obvious

nah famm, that scene blew my mind as a teen lol

>ONE power rack
that's enough. make the effort lad

What, why?

Anyway that has nothing to do with it.

As far as I can see it maps to the trolley problem
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem

i mean i would go based on whether someone in the group of 5 was more promising as a citizen to society than the individual.

I can't get there lad, maybe some time NEXT year.
It's a huge hassle too

All I can do is shit post and here I literally don't lift
...I literally don't lift now

I want to wake up
