/plg/ - powerlifting general

How else are they going to cover the costs they have?

yes participation in all sports cost money

Literally the same as every sport

why dont you go back to albania. i bet its cheaper there

Will i be able to compete bench only if i ask? Not really what i want to do but i've picked up a nasty knee injury.

>swiss
If being a "beta cuck" means that you actually respect women as people and try to live in a world where people treat each other equally and with respect, then I guess that's me. The flip side is that, if you buy into this worldview or use its language, you're likely a bigoted, misogynistic asshole. I'll accept your ridiculous name calling in exchange for a better world any day. Hell, I'll wear it as a badge of pride that, unlike you, I'm a functional, well adjusted human being that gives a shit about other people.

Maybe. Email the organiser. Or just squat 25kg.

Yeah, that makes sense. Just asked a buddy who plays amateur soccer. Apparently they have to pay 250-500 swiss francs depending on the team. I guess comparing it to that it's not that expensive.

Could just do one of those bench only meets

Is this a copy pasta i dont recognize

Looks fresh to me

I'm already signed up for this one though.

It's from some cracked article where some cuck explains why being called a beta cuck is actually nothing to be ashamed of.

In a lot of real sports you get paid to participate on an amateur level .

Its a lot more expensive than in Deutschland for sure. Id have to pay around 16 Euros for local meets.

That would be a semi pro level, and yes I know.

But powerlifting isn't cricket or rugby. It's more like athletics and weightlifting. It's entertaining to afficionados and current and former athletes.

Who here has run C6W? How did it work for your deadlift and squat?

I was stuck on a 130x3 squat

2 cycles later I got to 165kg

every time I cut, even mildly, my squat falls apart

feels real bad man

>700 calories left to eat
>no food in the house
>every shop is closed

w-wat do

Exactly. Even a lot of olympians barely get paid to compete on a world stage. PL just isn't marketable to normies

I've run it 3 times
1: +15kg squat, +10kg dead, +2.5kg bench
2: +5kg squat, +5kg dead, + 2.5kg bench
3: +7.5kg squat, +5kg dead, did other bench programming +7.5kg

step 1: cum in a cup
step 2: swallow
step 3: ???
step 4: free protein

Why not keep milk, oats & protein powder always stocked at home?
I bulk buy oats and pp

>PL just isn't marketable to normies
Neither is crossfit, and it does just fine.

>Neither is crossfit, and it does just fine.

You're joking right? Crossfit is the most normie fucking thing ever

>Lose weight
>get toned
>do it with your friends
>variety all the time
>easy to get into
>someone tells you what to do

It's literally the most normie thing ever

>crossfit not marketable to normies
This year 324,307 people signed up to compete in crossfit open and had a prize pool of $2.2 mil

They have the title of worlds fittest person similar to world's strongest man title (inb4 not actually fittest...like no shit)

Their open competition has more people in it then those compete in powerlifting world wide and who knows how many people actually do crossfit.
Their events are a mix of pseudo -weightlifting, -strongman, -gymnastics and -athletics

What does IPF have? Shitty livestreams

Normal peopel do not sit down and watch crossfit events on tv or the internet.

They are entireyl marketing to their own athlete base. And it works.

I wanna correct myself

zumba is the most normie thing

closely followed by crossfit

but the livestreams are so innovative

maccas is 24/7 you raging faggot

well it was on ESPN

>They are entireyl marketing to their own athlete base.

Everyone who does crossfit is a normie

Wrong although yes they have a much larger athlete base meaning it's more marketable (i.e. able to get sponsors and advertising) but that is because they marketed to normies so well they wanted to sign up to do crossfit in the first place.
I've seen my dad watching the crossfit games and he's never even set foot in a gym before.

Starve as punishment for not having sufficient foresight.

Found a tub of chobani and a tub of harrys

How do you make C6W not suck for the benchpress?

run Connor Lutz bench programming instead

Good to hear. I'm gonna run Nuckols for bench instead and probobly make it a full body 3x a week, bencing all 3 days and doing the lower workouts on the designated days.

If that proves to be too much I'll just go back to the original upper/lower.

Most important lift for me to make progress on is the DL, honestly. I saw that some weeks only have DL variations and no actual conventional deadlifts. Did you feel this actually helped you at all?

>did you feel this actually helped you at all

Check my name

if you're so weak, why are you a tripfag?
wait, I'm in plg, never mind

according to norsies survey im actually above average even though my deadlift is so shit

So did you go back to school?

>check my name

I don't understand

Which of Nuckols 3 day high bench weeks do I abuse for my weekly profession ways?

I just picked week 3 because I think it has the most volume.
Then I do the AMRAP from medium on Friday.

But I wonder if I should cycle through the 4 different weeks, even when I changed the tbing to weekly progression.
I don't think so.

>hope for a 20 lb PR deadlifting
>get a 30 lb PR
thanks guys
Also got a 275 push press.

>push press
Disgusting

Hadn't done it in a while and wanted to see what I could get. I usually do OHP.

Okay sure you do

Why would I lie on a vietnamese finger painting forum?

>Phil won best lifter at Swedish nationals
>wouldn't have even made top 5 in his class at American nationals
Why is European Powerlifting such a joke?

We actually have doping tests :)

Hello Prutus my friend.

I have run Candito 6 week 2 times.

First time
SQ: 125 kg to 128 kg
DL: 150 (no progress REEE)

Second time
SQ: 147 kg to 152
DL: 170 kg to 172 kg.

It's a hard program, almost too hard. Looking back, I would never have done the program now. Simply too hard for an intermediate since the intentisy is too high to practice proper form and get decent reps unde your belt. Didnot help that I was playing football twice a week during my cycles

4/10 would not recommend UNLESS you deflate your max by 10 kg to really get the groove of the lifts.

This post sounds like bait but

>would not recommend UNLESS you deflate your max by 10 kg to really get the groove of the lifts.

I agree but then you're fucked when it asks you to do 97.5% for 4 reps

Why does my lower back hurt when doing barbell rows?
I am pretty sure i am keeping my bsck parallel to the ground

Just do db rows or seal rows.

>seal rows

Or as I like to call them "how to let everyone in your gym know you're autistic"

Not bait. Just my opinion. I donot think handling heavy weights is that important compared to getting proper reps ingrained. On week 4 and 5 you are doing so few reps at such a high intensity that form breakdown is inevitable. Rep work is more important than intensity work imo.

>I agree but then you're fucked when it asks you to do 97.5% for 4 reps
But then you aren't really doing 97% of your TRUE max, since it's deflated? If that is what you meant...

They're great if you have the equipment for it though.

Is this a common issue with bb rows? A lot of people have had similar issues online. Will consider doing db instead thanks

Honestly: people probably just don't brace properly.
They don't even realize they have to brace, since it's not a deadlift.

If you can deadlift heavy without lower back pain then you can barbell row without pain too. Just godda brace.

Maybe i will try it one more time with extra emphasis on bracing like i do for DL/Squat.
Does anyone have a good video with example form? Shit is all over the place from ehat I have found.

Yeah I meant for the progression scheme. If you do 4 reps at a 10kg deflated max then you gain literally nothing on your 1rm according to the program

WHAT ARE THOSEEEEE

Lads I might be sexing a grill soon. Will she care if I'm a khv at 25?

Yes because you will invariably be terrible.

Have fun though and don't stress out.

If she asks should I be honest

Yes?

I don't know, I lied the first time I had sex and it might have bit me in the ass.

>tfw only ever had sex with Virgins

Lucky guy.

No.
Fucking isnt exactly hard.

The hard part is holding the conversation and not sperging out during it.
If you get to the sex part you already won. Just stick your dick in the hole.

Pick one

a) You get to fuck the girl of your dreams as many times as you want for the rest of your life and she acts exactly as you want her too

b) you immediately get a billion dollars liability free

c) you immediately become a talent Chad in lifting and will reach 600 wilks within a year

d) you get to go on a single date with trappy-chan (more if you make it work)

I just want her back

A)
I already know who she is and getting a GF was the end goal anyway.

A or B for sure.
I want to train hard and get strong, not magically get strong. Becoming rich isn't a goal of mine so I wouldn't mind just being given the money, it would take away my material worries (biggest stress factor in my life by far) for the rest of my life. Girl of my dreams or money is the big dilemma.

Not even considering option D. Even if someone payed me I still wouldn't want anything to do with some crossdressing dude.

What is the difference between these bros

If plg knew what I picked then c, if no one knew then d

Why choose D if I can just choose A since she's the girl of my dreams

Should've clarified that a can not include d

Also for the record id pick b, maybe d

I swear the left bar is £260? Must be thinking of the power bastard bar.
Have a look at reviews and comparisons.

Rogue EU do good bars

Stiffness. If you get the strengthshop bar you're doing yourself a disservice if you compete in the IPF

Trip on prutus you dirty dog you

>trappy
>a girl

This isn't even a question

B

A will always have that self doubt: is she with me because she likes me or because she's now a philsophical zombie
C just means you'll be accused of steroids for the rest of your days

D is pretty sweet though.

Billion dollars and pay for escorts ez choice

It looks manageable to me honestly. I'm still gonna give it a go and hope it does wonders for my dl and squat.

Mis princessa ;)

You are genuinely mentally ill.
Why haven't you gotten you self checked?

>C just means you'd be accused of steroids for the rest of your days

Yeah but a 600 wilks is monstrous even for a roider. Even then you could compete in the IPF and get tested every single week of your life which would prove anyone doubting you wrong

>looking up what kind of numbers a 600 wilks lifter would have
>mfw haack is kind of close to those numbers

How long has it been ...

>picking anything other than B
>implying three commas doesn't automatically make 9s and 10s available to you provided you're a 6 or 7

Finally happy with my deadlift form.
Time to yolo weights up

105 days

Tbh I'd marry a 1 if she had a billion dollars

Bad brain day.

Might just cook some chicken thighs and sit a nice bath and eat them.

103 days according to steam

If powerlifting added OHP or another upperbody lift, it would be more marketable
