/plg/ Powerlifting General

My tris are fuarking hueg and my biceps are non-existent, don't think that will be much of a problem.

Been having some brachialis pain when benching, hopefully this can fix it.

i think bob peoples did that, SSB too.

Some people like Gbro also only deadlift from boxes except for competition (because of previosu injury).

You could do it but why would you?

I'm gonna do it. Seems like an interesting way to train. Going to start at the knee with my 3 rm rack pull and lower a couple inches every 2 weeks. Will report back later with injuries or success.

There was some user that had a bunch of pads (18 total, I think) and he would take a pad off each side every time he'd deadlift, or something like that. Worked decently well, iirc. I think you'd need to make sure that your positioning is going to be exactly the same is it normally would be during that portion of the lift in order for it to be truly effective though.

Curls 2-3x a week are very worth it, and also make sure that your elbows stay under the bar the entire time when pressing. A lot of times, people overtuck and cause their elbows to get in front of the bar, which cucks power and can cause tendinitis.

Good call on the form stuff. Hopefully the gradual lowering will keep a groove developing and not just fuck my deadlift form. On second thought, i'll do real deadlift sets to warm up then overload on racks.

Post your Symmetric Strength lifts!

It can work, but there's some caveats to it.

One, your form the whole way through has to be consistent. If you start treating the rack pulls using the most optimal rack pull form instead of the one which looks like your actual lockout position, it won't carry over as well.

Two, block or mat pulls work so much better than rack pulls it isn't funny. Do them if you can.

There's multiple ways to program this sort of stuff, but the traditional way is to start with just over your deadlift PR and rep out rather than something that's actually heavy from a high rack pull.

...

Interesting, what is the difference between block pulls and rack pulls? I thought that was just two ways of changing the height of the bar, I'm a newfriend. Thx for responding.

Reposting

It's the start that's different. With block or mat pulls, the weights are what's in contact with the ground, so as you have slack in the bar like on a regular deadlift and it comes off the ground more like it would when you're pulling from the floor. With the rack, its the bar itself that has all the weight on it so the pull is a little more different. Kind of like the difference between doing board presses versus pin presses.

It's not a huge difference, but it's there. This also tends to make block/mat pulls a little easier to be explosive on.

What is going on here

Also, nice pepe impression

Normally I'm not one to acknowledge fake Lith's posts but does anyone have a theory as to what's going on with Isley's Prutus-tier drydick?

God damn, I hadn't considered that. Good looking out user, thanks.

me in the bottom right

Damn look at those beef cannons in the bottom corner.

Hey bby u lookin fit. Lawdy u lookin good to me.

are you small penis shaming?

How many of you aspire to be personal trainers ? What are your other hobbies?

For non-powerlifting purposes, there's actually a few situations where the rack pull is better suited for carryover. Frex, I compete in strongman from time to time and that often means having the 18' axle deadlift as an event. Since the axles have next to no flex in them and half the time the inner weights are bolted/welded on, that ends up with the rack pulls working more like the main lift than the mat pull does.

The rack pull certainly isn't useless, but god damn is it often misused.

Very interesting. I'll have to see what i can rig up for block pullng.

>tfw depressed

SS claims another victim!

And I promise to learn to love the way I've learned to fear
To unknot all the inhibitions tangled in my hair
To let my ego mound in piles around the barber chair
And make a graceful exit from my vexed troubled years
I've decided I've been invited to my own resort
Where knights can leave their armor neatly piled by the door

Dat negative bench ROM doe

Huh.

I've never seen The Crimson Chin in street clothes before.

Smooth cucking Lith hahahaha

What's the point of deadlift variations on sheiko?

Degen lookin guddd wewww

she actually touches below the boob, no cheatin there

>crimson chin

t-this isn't me right?

yeah he fucked her afterwards too

Work on different parts of the lift or common weaknesses

Did that thing where you're doing a bench single no spot and it felt good so you make it a double and you just about don't fail the second rep. The good news is just hit a new double pb.

Wow what a good looking group with the exception of Lith

Was just wondering why Isley looks so goid in that picture then I realized it's because you can't see his disgusting baby arms.

Anyone else has this where their muscle just tire insanely fast in normal day actions?

Like I have to shake the dust out of some sheets and after like 10 min of shaking my shoulders are absolute whack.

Would some high rep sets help with this shitty performance?

She's so strong,Jesus.Bonus for R A R E Bodorio

Nobody cares leave your discord shitposting out of plg

Literally EVERYONE hates degen now

Why did she leave?

See

So I am doing the Russian Bear routine. It's pretty retarded and I doubt it will help much but I am having a lot of fun with the deadlifts. Basically do a 5RM, then 90%RM, then do as many sets of 80% 5RM as you can with 1-2 minute rests.

>1st trappy
>2nd my Gf
>3rd DP
I promised myself I wouldn't do this again...

I don't understand.

You discord fags drive all the good people out.

Jesus Lith you are the fucking worst. What a cunt you are.

everybody in this picture looks inbred

wtf is wrong with australians (and britbongs)

Fuck you niggas I bet your fucking shoulders are the same when you hold up some heavy sheets for 10 min

That looks pretty brutal, just done some reading, 5-25 backoff sets

Is that >90%RM

90% of 1RM for a single?
