/plg/ - "powerlifting" general

Isley, I want to sign up for a divisional but I'm not a GBPF member yet. Will I get a membership number immediately if I apply online or will I have to wait until my card comes through the post? I need the membership number for the meet form obv.

UMMMM? ISLEY IS IN TECH SCHOOL NOT COLLEGE EXCUSE YOU
>tfw isley will never suffocate you in between his thighs

...

You should get your membership number immediately when you join up online, then your membership card will come in the post a few days later.

Isley, I don't really have anything to ask I just have a stupid sense of humour and thought it would be funny if everyone started to quote this post saying Isley, or Hi Isley, so I made this post to join in on my theoretical meme squad.

what belt do you guys use? is a shitty $20 walmart one good enough? or should i get those belts that are leather and even all around?

Ask Isley.

here:
say, "Hi Isley,"

H-hi isley

Isley what are your current PBs and are you natty?

Hi boa,

How strong do I have to be before I can post bait threads?

I'm proof that you don't have to be very strong for a successful b8 thread. I'm just making webms, dumping them there, and downloading them on my phone

I just realized that Isley is literally a discount-boardshorts

like an autistic, fat, ugly version of him.

Holy reddit thread kek:

>Politics of the Gym

>If we don't reflect, we stagnate as a sport.

>I recently joined a secret facebook group dedicated to leftist powerlifters. We talk about soviet physical culture, alternative sport theories, and our abstract visions of what powerlifting could be. It's such a niche thing, but it seemed so appropriate to me.

>It got me wondering about the social and political composition of typical powerlifting gyms or powerlifting groups. In my experience, hyper-masculinity and social darwinism rule the day. Most are white, conservative men. But maybe that's just where I live. The danger, in my opinion, is in assuming powerlifting as politically neutral simply because no one talks about politics.

>Does your gym actively seek to encourage outside participation, or is it invite-only (a la Westside)? Do women often feel uncomfortable or intimidated in your gym? Is there a general political consensus among members, or is it relatively pluralistic? If the latter, are there strict rules against political discourse?

For all my niggas in pain

wait is there any chance this guy's natty?

r8 my 1k pull lads
youtube.com/watch?v=I_UyIV5FbKw

He is certainly natural. He claims natural.
He's very depleted at the moment from all the cardio he's been doing.

He's been doing lifting and wrestling since he was a teenager. He's now 29.

>bolt is starting to feel sticky as it passes the hammer

>that rom

Fucking hell senpai where you been?

say your 1rm max out loud

finals mostly

sortof got bored here too

shitposting only stays fun for so long

Thats definitely not user in that webm that guy is a moderately good junior natty russian WLer

youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9BD5E9DCFC492580

yea i saw his physique and he definitely looks natty.
wtf tho? how is he so strong? any video where he explains how to get strong as fuck and how to follow his training principles?

tried stretching through the week and done duffin warm up and i still cant get knees any further out

even just with this my hips and knees are clicking like fuck which is very off putting
as well as a everything feeling like it strains more just to lift the same weight, just feels like it would be more prone to injuries

...

went on to completely fail 180, which is only supposed to be around 80%
>point and laugh everybody

next time user!

your grip is a joke right?

got pissed off at how bad it was and just switched to conventional, i know its sloppy as fuck, but could rep it out easy enough

has anyone actually been this bad at sumo and had it over take their conventional by a fairly large margin?
i think failing this doing sumo is kinda taking the piss Tbh,

please give me hope before i quit lads

>webm inbound

thats the issue

i dont get it

tfw get haircut and remember that apparently I'm handsome

>get a haircut and look sik
>lasts about two days before going back to the ratty mess I got it cut from

hmm

your grip is not locking the bar in place
fgts in /plg/ cant even grip a bar properly for deadlift

So /plg/ how do I figure out what the weak link in my DL is ? I have a feeling my hams/glutes are weak because I did halfsquats for a while and my quads are still pretty big. Since I do real squats to parallel both my Squat and DL have had great progress but I kinda want to speed up that process even more. So am I right in assuming that doing halfsquats for too long has left me with kinda strong quads and weak glutes/hamstrings or is that assumption wrong ? Also are there more quad dominant DL variations that could confirm my suspicion ?

>go months without haircut
>sort of trim beard but do it myself so it looks bad
>basically hobo mode
>chubby cause bulkin xD

hmm I wonder why that girl wasn't interested?

fuck

literally me

>mfw have neither cut my hair nor trimmed by beard in literally a year
>mfw also fat
>mfw still get grills
you're probably just ugly Tbh

>webm related
it also got cut short

literally same grip tho and weight tho
what do you mean not locking in? its not hook grip

1. lifting since young teenage years
2. bulgarian style training - he picks a lift or 2 and goes for small pr's every day - the key is low volume
3. extremely hard work and fortitude from being a d1 wrestler

I-I'm picky. N-no sub 8's for me!

You're not locking them out and you're bouncing it. Deload to broomstick Tbh

i assume low volume only works because he already has enough size to make use of his potential. idk tho

i said they were sloppy lad
and its a dead stop by the time i start pulling again
and my conventional form which i already know is shit wasnt the issue im asking about lad

yeah, I'm ugly and very autistic.

No, there is no reason your sumo should automatically be a better option than your conventional.

You do however, suck shit at deadlifts in general. If you unironically do shitty reps like that, you might as well not have done them.

i mean you will always be a weak fgt because you are a stupid fgt. you kids are weak as fuck because you are stupid as fuck. learn how to grip a barbell properly before you deadlift.

Have you compared vid to vid?
It's kinda weird that you didn't notice any change. Maybe you need a little more time and reps. I don't really want to say that you'll never be able to get the knees further out at this stage.

Do you have the same issue with knees out even if the bar is higher? I'd like you to try block pulls and see how those feel.

nope, when i started lifting a few months in i squatted every day for a month bulgarian style and went from 255 to 315

>haircuts

Stay pleb

russell brand but even worse
