>trappy won't stop posting her shitty OC edition
Trappy can you recommend me a good squat shoes with even higher heel than 'normal' elevated heel (3/4 in).
I'm a 6ft6 towerbrah ex varsity football player who squats high bar in flats for years and cant seem to go past the 4 plate mark. I tried my uncle's custom made WL shoes from the 80s (blue suede with customized an inch and half wooden heel) and i hit 455 immediately and easily.
I'm thinking of getting pic related but all i've heard of them so far are questionable reviews also they dont ship my size (size 14.5) to canada
I got you senpai. Also, you can increase heel height by adding rubber to the bottom of the sole.
All of the shoes described below are great, including the cheapest options.
Heel height is personal preference.
Remember to look for sales. They're very common.
just lift the weightu pussy
I'M IN LOVE WITH BLUESHOES AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT
Once again, left out of the meme.
sorry. your just not very memorable
Trappy is cute but butt stuff is disgusting

>You guys can't hurt me.
We probably could. You're like 110 lbs soaking wet.

Ugh, just randomly browsing and I see this shit.
Stop reminding me how I'm probably actually trans and would be so much happier if I accepted that. I don't want to lose my gains.

Hey it's me, long time no talk
Will make sapporo_1_week_of_Sheiko edit when I get home
How do I know which load to do, and do I simply do prep 1 then prep 2?
Shun happiness, walk The Path of Gains, and lead humanity to a new level of evolution.
Also, use quotation marks whenever using female pronouns to refer to trappy, it's oddly satisfying

Are there actual trap loving faggots that frequent this general?

It's not gay to fuck traps you faggot.
Question to anyone that makes protein cookies and uses unflavored protein. How much vanilla do you usually add?
>Wrestling shoes (flat heel) (multiple brands)
Just do Sheiko
Merry Christmas
Shame I'm depressed
happy christmas trappy
3 to 4 scoops, 2 to 3 times a day. CMON.
Cool, thanks for the info. I wanted to add some specific recommendations but it's really close to the character limit. I'll review it and simplify the text and see how much I can squeeze in.
*teleports behind you*
heh nothing personel kid
I'm sorry bby ;;
It's a very difficult life choice for some people, specially considering how you may not have support from your family and friends.
Try talking about it with one of your closest friends. Might make you feel better. :3c
Merry xmas user!
Have you started to try to fight off depression yet? Or do you still feel too strengthless for that?
Severe depression can be quite difficult to treat. Once you're ready to try, mas sure you have professionals who can help you and give you support.
kek ty user
I'll make >her soaking wet ;)
Man /plg/ has drifted far from the light
Hey Bryce, did you like the webms? :)
...
oh and merry xmas!
What do you all think of rips squat
Bretty gud ty
Awful
I have to lean forward for my femurs bro
this artstyle always make me uncomfortable.
>ignoring biomechanics
youtube.com
Do you wear heeled shoes? Have you tried bowing your legs more so you have slightly less forward knee travel?
It's a shitty way to squat. I see no one strong squat this way
That's because it's essentially all child porn.
Volume day tomorrow. My body is ready.
Lol I don't have friend. I did but I drove them away with my shitty issues.
I find it a bit weird that he says not to try and stay as upright as possible, and instead let the body incline.
Of course it's lowbar and the body will have some degree of inclination naturally, but some people (like fil) can squat very upright even when doing lowbar (proportions). So I think it's a benefit to try and stay upright regardless if you can or not, considering it also helps with keeping the torso from caving forwards.
The hip drive thing... I think it can be useful in order to teach some fundamentals to the beginner, but I don't think it's something you should worry much about when you're stronger.
The rest of his instructions are pretty good, with no memes.
Glad you liked it, I look up to you a lot!
I don't like the way it looks either but the dialogue and younger Maki are too cute.
kys
Merry X-mas though.
what happened to your bench at the meet?
The calls were pretty long as it was a referee in training or under assessment or something. It happens pretty frequently at local comps and it fucks me off.
That and I was just tired, it was late in the afternoon/early evening, I felt overly bloated from overfeeding, and just didn't feel great for benching in general/ other excuses.
I think my peak wasn't ideal for bench either I dropped volume too early which detrained me. This felt necessary however, as I had/have an inflamed AC joint and can't handle too much volume without undue pain.
I had benched 160kg with commands 1 week prior, so the strength is 100% there.
Just didn't have it on the day I guess.
Who the fuck are you actually. Why are you using the trannier username?
real trappy??
Reminder that even one sip of alcohol this Christmas will cause you to fail you to bomb out every lift.
i would a loli maki desu
....but i wanted to have egg nog dude
Ty trappy. Does VS athletics 2 heels compress overtime (seeing as theyre cheap AND plastic)
Also, does Risto ships to canada?
>tfw tried on asics 727 once and orgasmed from how comfortable it feels
I'm still not dropping 350 bucks on shoes though
>caught a cold
hmmm
mike t squats like that
Mike T is an exception to the rule m8 cmon
Well, Jesse Norris has been wearing a VS Athletics 1 for what, over 5 years?
Seems to work well for him, vid related.
He even says if his break down he wants another one.
As for VS 2, I can't say. I don't know anybody who has them.
But they seem fine to me.
The asics is beautiful
Oh, and yeah they can.
i tried hard to not get a cold
>delete this
no
Not deep enough, bar path not vertical.
3/10.
>tfw mommy issues
>she ruined yet another Christmas
tell us your story
My relationship with my mother has been poor throughout my entire life
That's it.
Risto sports has two new shoes for Powerlifting, the Powerlifting Shoes and the Russian Boots with 1.3cm heels. These are the same models of their weightlifting shoes, but with lower heels intended for powerlifters.
These are currently the only shoes being produced with heels this low. Other than these, there are the Adidas PL series which have 1.5cm heels.
Jesus, how do I get this
damn, these are nice
any link to buy them?
ristosports.com
>200 bucks
maybe when i squat 6plate
>trappy turned into a shill too
Wew lad
They are not as cheap because they use real leather exclusively, and manual labour that's paid properly and with health care, unlike the big ones that are notorious for using literal slaves to manufacture their products.
Still a high price, I don't have that amount of money to spend myself. But that is a very luxurious boot, with materials and quality that aren't made anywhere else nowadays.
The actual shoes, not the boots, have a competitive price against the big names of the market, and the advantage of being classically built with classic materials.
Also, they can customise almost anything you want if you ask them.
They do have a raw feeling to it, though. Some people do not like it, as it feels nothing like an adipowers or romaleos on your feet.
Equipment is an important part of the sport I don't favour any specific brand, I don't really like any brand (I don't have money for that), I just try to be as objective and truthful as possible. Sometimes that means a bit of praising.
literally my dads shoes
>trappy is sitting alone posting on plg for hours on Christmas day
we are in the same boat
That's why people like them. They feel and look just like authentic weightlifting shoes from the 70s-80s, as opposed to the hyper-modern and overly flashy shoes from the big brands (which have their own appeal, it just depends on what you like).
It's still early and I don't live with my parents, just my flatmate.
You'll be surprised. My buddy immediately bought adistars back in HS on his first week of doing football training (he previously squats barefoot in his garage) and brought his squats from 2pl8 to 4 in less than a year.
He now squats in the 700 range @ 220 weight class.
Trappy is killing plg
It's been crazy slow lately desu.
ok dino
i dont think it was because of the shoes
its rather like he was willing to do everything for his goal and money was the least of his worries so he bought the shoes to make his training optimal
the shoes didn't do shit for his progress
Yeah I don't come here anymore because of trappy
Just dropped in to say Merry Christmas
Why exactly should I care about the wages of the people making my shoes?
If I can get the same quality shoe for 50% less why question it?
Merry Christmas friend
golden rule you nigger
The community doesn't use the threads to chat anymore, as they can talk to the people they care about on Discord.
And sean doesn't shitpost here anymore because of... if you guessed Discord then yeah you get 20 points.
The negative side is that it divides the community in a way. The people who are and the people who aren't there.
Whatever happens now, we shouldn't be afraid. Because /plg/ isn't dying any time soon.
If that's your mindset, then that's fine.
Some people care tho.
And the retail price of their shoes is the same as the mid-high tier of the shoes from the industrial brands.
Merry xmas senpai, we'll miss you~
what is that
whats everybody's favorite Accessories:
Chest?
Tris?
Gloots?
Hams?
I'm of being a twink so imma get jacked
I haven't seen Sean in the plg discord for ages
He probably just shits up your safe space
So you killed plg is what you're saying?
