/plg/ Powerlifting General

Stop sean, it's a new thread, it's only really funny in a dead thread.

mad im hitting on your lover, b.o?

Yea sure if that makes you stop

You watch your lip sonny Jim
No because you're a bad person. You're only good for getting rekt with and yelling at

How do I read an image?

Yeah am going now. Nanight

>tfw making post workout pizza

Is there any better feeling?

>No because you're a bad person. You're only good for getting rekt with and yelling at
would you at least let me suck on them little titties

hey sean I know everyone bullies you here cause you're autistic but I just wanna say I'm autistic in different ways and I can relate to you even tho I don't like trannies (I don't hate em but I don't prefer em specifically)

Well good night, I love you. (˙͜M˙)

Is 13mm necessary if you 3pl8 squat and 4pl8 dl or would a 10mm be a more comfy transition into lifting with a belt?

Get a 13mm, 10mm are for cuckolds

13mm would be ideal, the thicker, the stiffer and the harder the better, the same goes for buying belts.

Ordering post workout pizza

...

>he stiffer and the harder the better
esmeralda? that you?

>385x4x6 on sumo, barely @7 by set six
>rowing and bus drivers = comfy shoulder feels
>corner store finally had orange monster in stock

um if you dont respond to me being able to suck on your titties while drunk im gonna assume that means yes

Cute

im gonna be suckin on your beta enablers tits

Cheers lads

Tuesdays I order it. Thursdays I make it myself. It's cheaper and tastes better.

Wew lads, talks that my class might be kicked out of the olympics.

Ily2 sleep well
Tried band pull-aparts for that shoulder? I mean a lot of them too. Like, hundreds.

Post the clip?

You eat pizza that often? Wew lad, maybe making it yourself is a good idea for your wallet lol

a another scot bro?

What if I'm genderfluid, why is there no category for people who don't conform to gender binaries?

I can't fucking learn squat form ._.

It always hurts my wrists theres too much pressure and im not sure what im doing wrong.

How are you supposed to position it ._.

In regards to competing in powerlifting*****

>tfw barely gaining weight on 4500 calories per day

Nothing is good for my wallet.

Consider trying both high bar and low bar.
Take advice from an old guy who's already destroyed his body squatting and see how he'd squat if he could go back in time.

When in doubt, squat like John Haack.

What type of grip are you trying to use? What bar position?

Just grab the handles.

Weight class?

>what bar position
a-are you qualified to give advice here...

93, making my way to 105. It's a long road.

Trying for low bar squat. Im going for close grip.

I guess you donr know unless you see a video. Ill post some videos later ._.

Yeah i dont want to fuck my shit up but i gotta do it.

Bench has a safety rack but squats don't. Thanks IPF.

No you don't. Literally squat like John Haadk. He has the safest squat I know.

That's why he's so strong with a high bar, or almost high bar position, he doesn't get injured ever lol.

I didn't record any of my lifting today.

I could probably do more of them ya... I only have the thinnest/lightest band available right now, is that enough or do I need serious resistance?

I also have the feeling it's not a rotator cuff issue? All the diagnostic tests I find online I can do pain free, the only ones that cause any discomfort are the impingement tests, even then it's minimal. The only actual painful lift is bench, during the bottom 3rd of the eccentric movement I get a grinding sensation kind of near the end of my collar bone. Makes strength and confidence off the chest almost zero. Benching close grip doesn't do much to reduce the grinding feel.

I'm not an expert on shoulder injuries, I know a lot more about spine health though.

From what limited experience I've had with shoulder pain, I used like a 35lbs resistance band to do band pullaparts. I just kept doing them until the pain went away and never came back.

Take the small resistance band and fold it to double the resistance

How close we talking? Because shits difficult to do, especially if you lack the external rotation ability. Took Isley a couple months to get his grip as narrow as it is. Thumb under or thumb over?

the fucking PORN clip not your shitty deadlifts

What kind of shoulder pain have you had?

Already scheduled desu

its gay porn

I don't know why exactly, but I have a very close thumbless grip when low bar squatting and I have no pressure on my wrists at all and I don't use wraps.

I find that pinkies in the first ring is about the farthest out you should go for upper back tightness, and you very much can grip it pain free with a thumb less grip.

Ideally you want your elbows as down as possible so having a close thumbless grip may make the bar slide down.

Honestly high bar IMO is superior in terms of simplicity and longevity

Thumb over i try to use my back to hold it up.

Ill just hang out here and studyb more to get it right.

I need to be ready by January on deadlift and squat fuck.

Low bar is the rippetoe way.

Second bulk is going to be good hopefully.

>booked off friday this week on wednesday becuase clutch in car needs to get looked at
>boss really didn't want to because sort of backed up on work
>busted my ass wednesday and today to get all the work done and get ahead of the game so i can have friday off
>driving home today, clutch stops doing weird thing that needs to get looked at, probably won't start up again so i'm losing a day of pay for nothing
fucking fuck.

at least it's a 4 day weekend now.

I did some CGBP and wrecked my shoulder and elbow for some reason, didn't diagnose it or anything, just did my rehab and it went away.

CGBP and JM Press just fuck my elbow and shoulder for whatever reason, every single time, so I never do them.

why would you bring up the porn clip then not talk about it

>Thumbless
>No pressure on wrists
That's why, ya dingus. Thumbless grip has never given me any wrist issues, and it shouldn't for most people. Only time I've had wrist discomfort was from using thumbs under.

Pictures/videos would be helpful. Try to post some soon.

JM press is an elbow destroyer m8. It's absolutely terrible for your elbows, same way skullcrushers are.

>tfw growing up other kids used to occasionally get whipped by their dads belts as punishment
>my dads was a 13mm double prong

Mark rippetoes skull crusher variation has never caused me any grief, but I've heard it can cause shoulder grief, I do retract my shoulders however.

JM Press was a bitch tho, but the pump was unreal. They're worth doing very infrequently.

I'll try doing a ton of them tomorrow, maybe something will click. I don't think it's a bench press related injury if that makes sense though? I always used to sleep on that arm as a kid/teen and think that I had some minor issue that manifested itself as a shorty motor pattern that eventually aggravated it to the point it's at now.

I also dislocated that shoulder wrestling once, and fell on it when I was drunk like three years ago.

When in doubt get a CT scan. But rehab never hurt anyone. Finding out how to fix your shit takes a lot of experimenting.

Took me months to figure out planks were the key to fixing my injured spine, but hey, know I know,

Neglecting calves is IPF approved.

What was the thing?

Hey Lith, I was the one who said I'd try it. I had a do and it felt strange, but when I took a vid I wasn't going up as high as the images I see on google. Oh well. Something cool to work on. I actually feel like careful hand placement could give you bench and ohp carryover. Thanks or showing it to me.

Literally depends. Some people do 10-second paused singles.

>plates

>CT
Only good for bones/some joint issues. Not really gonna help if it's muscular.

Try what?

>Careful hand placement
In which way?

Okay but how are you sure it's muscular

go with the gender youre born with

nice minecraft videos kiddo!

Is that you? If so you have the body of an nonathletic 8th grader.

welp those ph3 squat sets were rpe 9001 as per usual

might as well get drunk now

Yes good goym, interfere with your recovery and protein synthesis with alcohol.

Possibly, I just do it for fun honestly. I don't think yoga is beneficial for powerlifting.

Seems like a dumb thing to say and it might be, but it seems like being too limber and flexible in your back would be a bad thing for squats/deads.

Right you stick to your fictional broscience while i carb up for maximum recovery

Accidentally went back to the last thread lmao

I'm not. Just saying CT isn't going to help a lot of the time. It's extremely restrictive in the scope of what it can detect. You can see minor stuff, like AC separation (although depending on the severity, maybe not even) and broken bones, but there won't be any tendons visible, no muscle, among other, angle dependent things. MRI would be his best bet, but they'll probably do both.

>Getting into this debate with Sean for the 9xxxxxth time

>What did you do to deserve this?
>What did I do to deserve nothing?
You just need face frame height nigga

Have you ever had a ct scan? You can see everything. Including muscle. I had last year looking at my adrenal glands.

holy shit it was something illegal wasn't it?

FUCK I WAS THINKING OF SOMETHING ELSE GOD DAMN IT. Excuse my retardation. I have had a CT btw. And MRIs. Many, many times.

it was gay porn, he's literally gay

Alcohol consumption interferes with REM sleep patterns and can cause you to wake in the night and be unable to fall back asleep. Having a beer or two won't be the end of your gains, but getting drunk isn't smart.

Fite me irl nerd

When you coming UK so I can lift near you and look at you inbetween sets?

Why does life shit on people at random?

>I have had a CT btw. And MRIs. Many, many times.
did they detect your homosexuality?
>consumption interferes with REM sleep patterns and can cause you to wake in the night and be unable to fall back aslee

>get smashed
>go to sleep at 2 am
>wake up at 6-7 am, chug a gatorade, fall back to sleep in 10-30 minutes

wow that was very difficult

How have morons like you not been breaded out yet

Fuckin chads swear to god

>Don't neglect biceps and calves (maybe)
>mfw never trained calves in my life
>mfw bigger calves than 95% of people in my gym
>yfw never been fat either
The genetic gods have blessed me

...

Yes!! This week I suffered greatly!! These problems are just piling up.

hey wanna see something funny

You wouldn't be able to appreciate the good as much if there wasn't so much (random) shit.

>Breaded
I giggled. Can a drawfag please draw people being breaded out?

Got 12 seconds before closing.

Could anyone beat me?

>those monkey arms

>Why does life shit on people at random?
It doesn't.

The universe is incognizant of your existence. It would be quite egotistical of you to thing that life cares enough about you to slightly inconvenience you.

would you like to see something funny

k b quick I gotta go eat some chocolate bars and then bench.

Question for the older lads:

Every year (I'm not very old but I'm not a teenager any more) I feel like I have less and less anger to tap into before a heavy lift. Is this what getting old is? Should I jump on test before the fire dies?

"This is how you get school shootings."

I still can't draw faces. I have an issue with symmetry. I draw one side of the face and it's perfect, i try to mirror it and I just can't,
