Face blindness is a common symptom present in sufferers of disorders on the autism spectrum.

Depends on where you live.

Where do you live?

Also last four of social so I know you're American

On an unrelated note I'm horrible with faces

I'm not Marcel. I'm just some user who loves his spine.

virginia

funny, I'm great with faces but only mediocre with names

I hate my spine, it's really the only thing preventing me from deadlifting like a car like chimps can

Post dank Marcels.

I HATE being a squatlet

Its cause you have then worst form in PLG
You fell in love with gimmicks

...

Narrower stance, more knee travel.

At least TRY something different for once George! You're going away for a long time soon and yet you're stuck doing the same old shit and getting nowhere

Try what

Not in the bench or deadlift I don't...

Your bench is shit

where's the trappy?

She's living her life

who here /dying/?

Everyone.

The weight is light but the technique is efficient as.

Things to work on but it's good.

just a reminder that the results are here and have been posted twice now

Where is my princesa...

In what way is that efficient technique? Because you say it is? Oh right.

You need a better distribution format

I'll rephrase,
who here /diseased/ ?

150x5 deadlift on monday!!! Can't wait my friends!!

That's great but my dick size is 6 months of out date

Today's memes:
Muscle snatch felt like shit. Stopped at 185lbs
Power snatches to 195lbs felt like shit
One hand snatches to 115 (lel)
OHP 135x14
Everything sucked today
No idea what kind of beer they have out there. Sam Adams makes some good shit too. I think they make a west coast style IPA. It's an acquired taste so you might want a pale.

George I think your form is fine, at least on this submax volume work.
Except for the bench, I really think you flare too much. I'm not saying you should tuck like mad but around john haack levels of flare would improve your bench imho.
(haack just the example that popped in my mind, regardless of his natty status)

>does memes
>everything sucked

Unsurprising
>135lbs x14 OHP
Woah

What do you bench?

Georges bench is shit but not cause of flaring

Maybe he flaring autism, sure.

Bout 136 for 15

Narrower stance you dumb wit

I need more time

>muscle snatch to 185
k
>power snatch 195
>power snatching more than I can anything snatch

fucking

Thank you for your opinion. I'll consider it.

Funny thing right, I was talking to garagebro about this the other week. He went to a seminar wtih Brandon Lilly and there he heard that the "tuck your elbows" cue is misunderstood, that Cam himself has misunderstood it for years.

What the westside people mean is tuck your elbows BEHIND YOUR BACK. Not keep them close to the chest, but to really activate the back to keep tight.

Now, I have to ignore this, but I will say that interpretation of it totally agrees with my own ideal bench form.

What makes it shit? He has an excellent arch (thoracic extension more so than lumbar), leg drive enough to almost pop his butt of the bench, wide grip (which seems to be the way to go, looking at top ipf benchers), good programming (sheiko seems to work for bench).

Imho the only real problem is he flares as much as the average gym bro. I wonder how long his shoulders are gonna last. Also this gives him almost no acceleration off the chest.

That's what I was doing a year ago. It was shit.

Anyway, this is what I consider perfect bench form

Now this is of course a warm up single done before he competes at IPF bench worlds, I'd guess it's 90-95% of his best raw comp single so it is going to be neat. As far as I'm concerned though, apart from the weird fingers this is the platonic ideal of a bench press.

good /intermediate/ program for manlets?

running madcow rn but wondering if theres something else i can try

Do you think maybe one of the biggest problems are your noodle arms? I know your limbs are freakishly long so they're never gonna look eric spoto tier, but still, one thing all big benchers have in common are huge arms, which you don't have.

Yes. But I'm a gde so I will never bench much anyway.

>That
>Good forrm

Pick one

Explain

c6w

>had problems with hips shooting up out of the hole on squats
>followed Blaine Sumner's advice of trying to keep elbows from rising
>helped a lot, but can't move as much weight
>hips and hamstrings sore as fuck within an hour
I guess that means it worked?

you mentioned some change in the ipf bench press rules about max grip or something similar recently
could you please repeat what it is

Is that an Ohio State shirt? Did Marcel go to OSU?

I'll tell you have C6W affects my squat and deadlift in 3 weeks. Should be interesting, since I'm a squat GDE. In for 28 free bench memes though

In terms of preventing good morning squats, I prefer the method proposed by cws, max aita, greg nuckols etc
>keep hips forward when starting the ascent
>can be qued by "knees forward" in this specific context
Requires massive quads though.

"If max grip is used, the whole of the index finger must be in contact with the ring"

How*

>Bottom millimeter of index finger is off the ring
>Red lighted
Wew

why

why are whites in general so much better than niggers at this sport?

Doubt they'll notice that

So thy can't do like the japs did last year.

implying

thanks brahs

pls elaborate

It's to limit how much people like me can cheat.

I don't know
no

>when you put th bite of food in your mouth and immediately feel your gag reflex

Are you trying to eat salmon again, Joe?

24/7 back pain is okay if it never gets worse right?

Feels bad man

No he went to my University actually, it's in Ontario

Does anyone actually compete on this thread, and if so when is your next meet?
What are you doing to prepare?
What are you eating?
How are you feeling?

yes 3.5weeks
trying to not fuck my arms up as they are causing substantial pain
chicken and chips
fucking shite

the only real problem is he is following boris the druggo program and doing infinite sets of 80% comp bench instead of getting coached by a natural like Mike T or dietmar

>do people actually compete

on this thread.

The 2nd pie chat....73 people compete in PL

>6 women

Hmmmmmmm

woah

Norsie can I change my results? My genders 6 months out of date.

so i have three upper days, means I bench 3x a week.
Should I do normal bench all 3 times? (ofc varying intensity and volume)
or should I do only close grip or another variation on one day?

So children how are we doing today?

Where are these results?

Thoughts on ibuprofen-ing my way through a muscle pull / strain?

Only ibuprofen makes it feel better. Thinking I might just try my programming with ibuprofen this time.

hey norse just let me change my 6 month old maxes
ill be real quick

desu storage

I just fucking realised McGill doesn't have you doing planks ANYWHERE

FFS

how does this year compare to last?
is the average stronger?
more competing?

Hey Norse you deleted my results why

I've had a sex change, started competing in strongman and powerlifting, started studying, aged a year and changed my political views since I answered the survey, can you just let me change my answers really quick

anyone else tired of being ugly?

Just be yourself

God
YES

>aged a year
