Just said hi to wilks :)


And did some shit tier squats without knee sleeves

How was Ed Coan so good ? He has the body of a cereal box, no real thigh/glute thickness, and certainly no long legs ...

>I'm confused

>How was Ed Coan so good ?
Loads and loads of drugs

does ipf allow plain socks for diddlyft?
or do have to buy those Official IPF approved(TM) Deadlift socks?

Knowing the IPF, it's the latter

>does ipf allow plain socks for diddlyft?
Yes as long as they

*cover the majority of the shin

Another keep yourself safe tier post from the lithman

alright gonna buy some cheap ass chinese soccer socks

I just realised what keep yourself safe means and now im sad

I legit thought that belt was a NAH-Roo-Toe headband.

People on loads and loads of drugs don't diddy 900, bench 550 and squat 1000 in knee wraps and a singleply suit, unless they're SHW.

Ed Coan is sick as fuck. He got memed because roids became a bad thing in the middle of his career so he (rightly) continued juicing like everyone else, know that he wasnt doing anything wrong. He was just wrong time and place, still great but in the same way a confederate general was great post civil war. Yeah he was a great general but slavery is wrong now so he's bad.

hey /plg/, when I do ab work, or squat/deadlifts, I get pain in my lower erector(maybe at the insertion?), and it's only on the right side. What does this mean? I've only had this pain for maybe a week.

Cimpanzee like leverages, baseball glove size hands, legs of a baby, barrell chested, back with the size of Big Shield Gardna, short as fuck, monstrous size advantage compared to others i is weight class.

Why do so many people squat without sleeves now? Dutch national champions, random people I follow on insta, even filip.

>like everyone else
False.

I know so many older lifters, who were at their best in the late 70s and throughout the 80s. I know everything from old world champions to people who never really made it past regional medals. They say this "everyone did it" is completely snatched out of someones asshole.

People didnt even fully believe that steroids work in the late 70s, guys said things like "they dont work for me" like guys say about creatine today.

Lars Norén speaking out against doping 1987:

Because they don't do anything besides knee tracking but that's only required if you're a noob

By ab work do you mean situps? Sounds like you might have a very mild herniation and you could be flirting with making it worse. Drop situps/crunches yesterday and learn to love Stuart McGill.

nice stinky wet but fresh shit today lads

Does anyone have that cartoon of isley all geared up with him saying "cheating lolfedders"

>don't do anything besides knee tracking

Is that what they do? I should probably get some then, huh?

Not situps, but when I do cable crunches and I go from fully extended arched lower back to the concentric portion of the movement it hurts for just a second. Wouldn't herniation hurt in the spine(in the middle), not only on one side of my back? I'm pretty sure it's pain in the muscle or insertion but I can't be sure(never had back pain before)

Hearsay. Inadmissable.

I got u dogg

Nerve pain can radiate and present oddly. Generally you'd know if it was muscular, nerve pain usually feels like more of pinching pain than a muscle pull. But I'm diagnosing you based on a few sentences on Veeky Forums and I don't actually have a medical degree yet so hey.

Well that's all I know currently. What do you think I should do? Stop squats and deads altogether for the moment? And how into rehab?

Rather than me describing all of it, look up Stuart McGill, watch every youtube video you find, even/especially the 1996-quality ones, look up the spinal stabilization protocols he's put out, and probably relearn your squat and deadlift placing a massive emphasis on trunk bracing and keeping a neutral lumbar position.

...

Which dutch champ squats without them?

Big Dave

Good morning plg

I want to stick my dick in Sean's fat funky ass

I've had diarrhea for 4 days, but haven't missed a squat session yet. Paused work was the toughest. Pretty sure I have sphincter doms.

What a bunch of overpriced garbage.

They are cheeper then pic and the are pretty nice

anyone who uses the things in your picture to "help them lift" are huge pussies and weaklings. if you can't lift something without the support of those items you shouldn't be lifting that weight at all. put your safety blankets down and fix yourself.

I have equipment older than your lifting career that was half the price.

Inb4 you have sub 200 wilks

Inb4 you can't DOH at least 4pl8

Whoa man your so cool can i get your autograph
I have a belt thats 47 years old does that make me cool too?!!?!??

i don't lift but it doesn't take a genius to know that if you can't lift something without help you shouldn't be lifting it. that's like having your spotter pull the bar up when you're benching. fucking faggot. OHH LET ME PUT THESE KNEE WRAPS ON SO I DON'T BLOW OUT MY WEAK KNEES. THESE WRAPS HOLD THEM TOGETHER LIKE THE FRAGILE PIECES OF MY LIFE.

kys you weak piece of shit

whats up with johnny candytoe

I squatted 4pl8 3 months into lifting and that was before i owned a belt lol

Well i do agree with the dont use wraps (unless you want to conpete in non raw)
But really they other stuff there wont help you lift more other thqn the belt

But you can't seriously even hold 180kg double overhand?

You have the grip of a middle aged woman lmfao

Never tired to no point ethier lmao

All I hear is
>I can't do that therefore I'm going to pretend I don't care

Nice projection

Plgg halp
Are my lifts disproportionate?
OHP 50kg for 5 reps
Bench 60kg for 5
Squat 75 for 5
Diddly 110kg for 5


If so how can I fix them?

Is the wittle baby mad? Does the wittle baby want a bottle?

yes.
fund your own ohp only feferation.

Trip on Blueshoes

>tire blew out on the highway while passing through bumfuck, NY yesterday evening
>had to get a hotel room and wait for the morning to get it fixed (didn't have a spare)
>shop opened an hour and a half ago and still hasn't called me
Feeling nervous...

Daily reminder to not believe impersonators such as OP Also, I literally can't stop sucking cocks

Ok dino

Fuck that sucks, man. Can't hurt to call them and see what's up though.

>WAWTT

5 sets of RPE 9 spoto press at lmao 70kg
Week 4 Sheiko deads (have some 85% doubles, so that should be fun)
Some DB Bench and arms stuff too

>WAWET

I'm gonna be driving all the way back to my parents' place in Nashville, TN, so I'll probably just eat like 5 mcdoubles throughout the day on the way home.

>WAWLTT

Blasting random shit on the radio so I don't get too bored while driving

>WAWFT

Overall really good. Finally have my first week off work since I started and liking my job still. Really glad to get to go home and see my family for the first time since March.

Getting kind of sick of doing the long distance thing with my gf though, from lack of regular sex, etc. She only has 3 semesters of school left, but that feels like a really long time. Other than that everything is good though.

What about you, user?

Nice projection dino

>didn't have a spare
are you a woman

Ok dino

No just do SS and eat more.

>WAWTT
Nothing, today is a rest day :)
Have some fairly light squats and bench tomorrow though.

>WAWET
Lmao I literally have no idea. I should go to the store.

>WAWLTT
The sounds of the ducks that are still living in the frozen pond outside of my apartment. It's pretty comfy.

>WAWFT
Didn't get to bed until late last night so I'm feeling pretty tired today. Make it through and everything will be good though.

>tfw it's been over 48 hours since I had sex

I know your pain

Okay, dino.

>tfw I'm coming up on 4 weeks now

Life is suffering.

>I know your pain

The worst part is that I know if I broke up with her I could have so much more sex really easily, but I care about her and stuff so I don't want to.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

How often do you get to see her?

Like once a month for 3-4 days on average.

I've unironically been there before. It was truly suffering. The worst part was I was the one broken up with, after getting to see her only like 2-3 times over 4 months. Fuck remembering this is making me rage at myself.

Eat something besides just mcdoubles by the way. Atleast stop at like a Panera bread or something.

hmm, yeah that's kinda meh. I mostly see my bf once per week, rarely twice, but at least I'm having constant contact and stuff. Having to wait a whole month and having it all at once doesn't sound as good. :/

I just ate a good breakfast, and I'll eat some veggies after I get home. I'll be fine.

>I was the one broken up with, after getting to see her only like 2-3 times over 4 months
Iktf.

Every serious relationship I've been in (3 total) has been strained by distance to the point of it getting fucked up.

Yeah, one day a week would be much better.

You are a homosexual. You are a biological MAN. you have trillions of XY chromosomes in your cells.

You are a man

You are a homosexual

sean pls
we all know you're thirsty for some feminine benis

Really, trappys boyfriend is more homo than anyone.

Because he puts up with trappys cunty attitude, then has to have gay sex. Ew, fuck that.

I'd rather just be gay for a man. Slightly less mental illness and way less faggy.

Also,trappy ruined the thread by being unbanned for cartoon child porn.

Gotta go dude, best of luck. And maybe it is just a muscle strain.

>because he puts up with trappys cunty attitude

So does all of plg

Some more than others

There's a difference between being a cunt back (you), putting up with it (most of /plg/), and just never encouraging, or responding to >her (me).

samefag

Nah I think fucking a dude in the butt is about as gay as you can get. So trappys bf is equal to normal gay people

>So does all of plg
I didn't, but I regret it now

Also, stop trying to impersonate me and let me see your dingdong instead

>youtube.com/watch?v=2VATFpAtn8M&t=170

>being attracted to femininity is gay
end yourself famalam

>>WAWTT
Paused didlift triples, regular didlift doubles, OHP, rows/abs/curls in de beg. Felt good all around.

>>WAWET
2x breakfast burrito from the neighborhood coffee shop.

>>WAWLTT
Mike Doughty, Vince Staples, and Negative Approach so far.

>>WAWFT
A little nervous, work all day then AEMT final tonight but really I won't get more than a handful of questions wrong.

They called me. Apparently, they spent like an hour after opening trying to find the tires they thought they had when they towed in my truck, but they couldn't find them (lol).

>5 McDoubles
RIP heart

>you?
Thanks for asking. It's a rest day (I'm basically just not training for my deload this week, because I overdid it in the last few weeks). I'm eating whatever the road allows, so probably McDonald's or similar trash. Hoping to get home before dark so I can get my suit dry cleaned and do some last-minute Christmas shopping tomorrow.

Nah, my spare popped and I'm broke. I have a spare with the braiding showing in case something happens just around town, but that won't get me 250 miles home.
>piece of shit truck feels

Duck sounds actually does sound pretty comfy...

Sounds like a fun session. I haven't done barbell rows in a while, I think I'll rotate them in...
Believe in yourself and the exam will be easy breezy.

So, about new original content...

I have a new hypothesis, and apparently this hasn't been studied yet at all.

How quads (vastus lateralis specifically) with higher "insertion" (actually it's just the muscle being bunched up higher on the thigh, genetic ofc) are very strong and make excellent squatters.

Two examples we have here are Frog and Alex, both who had incredibly fast squat progression and are very good at squatting.

This is explained by the higher quads having a considerably longer tendon, thus a considerably longer moment arm for knee extension compared to regular quads.

So basically
higher quads = talentchad, really strong quads
lower quads = is better for bodybuilding but weaker

How do you guys feel about it? Anyone else with actual high quads here?

It was, last few weeks everything has been feeling great except my left knee. And yeah it really will, I've been getting consistent high 90s the whole class, I know my drugs, I know my cardiology. Only things I'm not 100% on are pediatrics and burns but that'll be like three questions.

I think there's a proven link between higher insertions and better output.

Another interesting detail, Frog has even higher quads than Alex, and reached 4pl8 squat at 3.5 months. Alex reached 4pl8 squat at 5 months.

Not sure how directly this was affect by the vastus lateralis, but it's interesting to see this correlation.

Yes the theory makes sense in paper. But are there any studies on it? I've tried researching and couldn't find anything.

Greg Nuckols actually talks about something similar with internal leverages. How do you tell high quads from low quads for example? Would my quads be considered "lower"?

>tfw I should just quit powerlifting and become a natty bodybuilder

what quads

Ye your quads are the normal height, or lower.

But don't let this discourage you, if you look at top tier athletes you'll see many have regular quads.
Exemples I've checked: Klokov, Lu Xiaojun, Ilya Ilyin

holy shit, you have to be shitting me
its short femurs you absolute retard

what kind of quad insertions do you have?

I have high quad insertions and I squatted 160kg at 16. Long before I deadlifted that.
Then I blew my back out so I never got further lol.

When Frog is back home and can look for a good pic of him I'll show you. It's not femur length.

Even his doctor once was surprised when he saw a Xray.

Welp, one more example kek

Hope your back recovers soon.

Regular, low

How do you know frog so well?

It's recovered now thank you, I meant I never was able to progress my squat further until about a year later.

I talk to her

We're good friends.

Oh I see. I assume you're still training? What is your squat now?
