/plg/ Powerlifting General

Hit a new PR yesterday guys. 115 for 2.

youtu.be/Yjn_jv2ulk0

one my 18th birthday.... I squat 170kg

yep. I'm serious

soon you'll see

NO.

NO THEY ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO ME IT IS MY TIME

In all seriousness:

Fix your walkout. Three steps, and if you're going to squat highbar, you cannot let your body pitch forward like that - pause at 14 seconds to see just how far past your toe, even, not even the midfoot, that bar travels.

You are my favourite actor.

Looking good senpai. We'll make a bench chad out of you yet

Taking notes?

>We'll make a bench chad out of you yet

I'mma be hitting 275 this month. That means I'll PRACTICALLY be benching 3 plate.

I thought you've done way more before?

lol no every bench session is a PR.

Hit 320 with the slanger.

320x1? I thought we were way closer in numbers, even if you are pausing every rep and I'm only pausing the first.

Thanks broo!!

Oh, I'll probably be hitting the 275 for 2-3 paused reps. I'm also cutting, so maybe not, but we'll see.

You want an old guy in a can for yourself?

That's kinda weird

I appreciate the no audio so much

>Cutting
Why the fuck are you cutting Twinktine? SSB frowns upon you, I'm sure.

Just a little one. Want to get back to 200 so I can recomp a while and just roll up without a water cut for my next meet, whenever that may be. Also, 215 lbs and a lot of that is pudge meng.

I always try to remember to shut of the audio; sometimes I forget. Glad you approve.

>Not holding the bar until it comes to rest

REDLIGHTS

The walk out is caused by that angled rack. I have similar problems, but then I don't when I get to lift on a vertical rack.

...

EXCLUSIVE TRAPPY AND PAUL CONVERSATION!!!

>i identify as a tranny

That is one fat motherfucker.

>blueshoes and his friends roleplaying

dude

you could've at least used the correct picture for my avatar there

the cockslut tries to damage control baka baka baka

sad!

Excuse me this is private sexual banter, you are not allowed to post this!

Yeah, between you and blueshoes.
Don't involve me on this shit.

Also stop posting discord shit on /plg/ no one cares and it annoys people. Keep discord on discord, /plg/ has nothing to do with it. Two completely separate things, completely separate communities.

I don't roleplay, period.

SHOTS FIRED

kekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

You know the people roleplaying in the previous thread were actual Anons pretending to be me, right?
I'm not even trying to "get my ass off the line", I'm just really actually saying the truth. Just so you know, in case it happens again in the future, that it's not actually me.

>this person unironically searches up trap hentai so he can feel better about himself

sure.

Can you do me a favour and explain why you post loli tranny hentai on a blue board?

Its in no way related to lifting either and it forces me to stop browsing at work.

this is a blue board.

I feel pain in one of my shoulders (around rear delt) when squatting, with peak intensity right after I get out from under the bar.

Suggestions?

Stop being a bitch

I had this same exact thing.

What helped me was to change my grip to thumbs same side as rest of the fingers and a bit wider.
Also I stopped doing shoulder stretches completely.

Why not

>thumbs same side as rest of the fingers
Like suicide grip?

>Also I stopped doing shoulder stretches completely.
Sounds like you solved a symptom, not the problem. How is not stretching, if done properly, good?

>Like suicide grip?
yes, just try a load of different grips yourself and see if anything helps.

>Sounds like you solved a symptom, not the problem.
Maybe, I just noticed i started getting the pains after starting stretching my shoulders more, and when i stopped, the pain stopped also.

but we are all individuals

I don't post loli

That's not a hentai and it's SFW.

>forces me to stop browsing at work

You're in an anime image board. If anime girls in bikinis is enough to stop you browsing at work, you shouldn't be browsing this website work at all.

>this is a blue board

The images are SFW and contain no nudity or sex.

>feel better about oneself
>by looking at porn

What the fuck? What sort of nonsense projection is this?

1: This is not the place
2: I'm taken
3: I don't know, just not my thing

>asking permission to trip

You better not trip at all if you're this weak willed, as it will attract hate.

Hypocrisy. I stuck up for you when you left the first time and always valued your input and presence in /plg/ but you've showed a side of yourself lately that really makes me kinda feel like a lot of people are right about you being a negative influence on this general. Don't pretend you don't contribute and create a tremendous amount of unnecessary drama and bullshit. I'm also starting to doubt that you are in fact the cute trap girl seen in these pics.

-impartial user who always tries to see the good in people

tbf you don't period either

>The images are SFW

How to detect a permaNEET: They say pictures of young anime girls with dicks are sfw

>You better not trip at all if you're this weak willed, as it will attract hate.

Being on Veeky Forums attracts hate in the same way that being a fish attracts water. There's no escaping it, and we're going to die here.

I just wish to wake up one day,come to /plg/ and read a thread about powerlifting and not fags,betaorbiters,traps,anime and retards.

I wonder why everyone left,uh.

It's squattin time my niggaz. Get the dicks out ur asses and superficial friendships with mentally deranged people on the internet out ya heads cuz we squattin in this bitchhhhh.

Front Squats, unlike popular belief, are an exercise focused on your back rather than your quads.

If you want to strength your quads, back squats are more effective. Or other accessories, like belt squats.

You realise you're sticking your nose between posts between two best friends who were chatting among themselves as they posted on this thread and having a fun night, right?

Whatever judgement you're trying to pass, neither me or paul care.

DELETE THIS

1: They aren't showing their dick. It's inside clothing.
2: You're not forced to zoom in the thumbnail to see details on whether or not the anime girls have dicks.
3: If you consider anime girls in bikini to be SFW, then it doesn't matter if they have balls or a cunt.
4: Stop zooming in on anime pictures of girls in bikini while at work, you dummy.
5: Why didn't ya think of that?
6: For your health.

If you're this confident about yourself, might as well trip if you want.

Then don't talk about those things genius. I'm not the one who brings up this subject, and I rarely even engage on it at all.
It's you fucking retards who keep bringing it up every single time no exceptions.

You're just like the fat fucks who wanna be skinny but don't wanna get up from the sofa or stop being dripfed hamburguers 24/7. Fucking take action yourself and fix your problem.

Ffs.

>3: If you consider anime girls in bikini to be SFW

I don't, where did I say that once?

You're fucking retarded. Why are you still here again? you don't even lift

>I rarely engage on it

nigga your post is like 8 times the size of a normal post and is /only/ focused on shit

Then don't click on thumbnails.

Why didn't ya think of that?

For your health.

>sample size of two posts
>invalidates the assertion that engagement is rare

I don't think you understand what the word "rare" means,

this

his posts are long as fuck attention grabbing bullshit posts with stupid anime characters that are supposed to represent him or something. fuck off

Shut the fuck up you faggot.

You don't even know how to front squat. Front squats are good for core stability (abs) and if done properly, quads.

You don't lift. You don't know what you're talking about. You're a mentally ill 3rd world tranny faggot so shut the fuck up because no one likes you. You should kill yourself instead of shitting up these threads pretending you know shit. Fuck you.

>Front Squats, unlike popular belief, are an exercise focused on your back rather than your quads.

wat

hes never done them before and is spewing bullshit

>best friend
I'd hate to see how you'd treat an enemy. Don't respond to this, I don't care for more.

You see unlike common knowledge and common sense would suggest, a mentally ill faggot who doesn't lift knows more about excercise and biomechanics than anyone else in the world.

trappy stop engaging
you're making the thread all about you instead of just ignoring them

it's actually boring and you get super bitchy because you can't understand that Veeky Forums's default method of arguing is by nature insulting

/plg/ was fun but I think the last couple days have just ruined it for me. I might be back to check in a few months but if this is still going I'm done. There's really no point anymore

What the fuck is wrong with you? no one likes you, just leave

your hugbox is proof of it

anime posting is the worst thing to have ever happened to Veeky Forums

Trappy just needs to leave. He deserves all the insults he gets, he's asking for them by being a dumbfuck asshole pretending to know shit he doesn't know about.

>front squats are good for core stability

You realise most of the stability of your core during squats is performed by your back, right?
Dynamic contraction of your abs would mean spinal flexion, the very movement you're actively working against in order to not die.

Your abs help and are important. And yes squats will strengthen them. But they are not the primary actor here, nor the focus, nor the bottleneck, nor being used 100%, or any of those meaningful things. Thus your assertions about abs is pointless and simply fuelled by a gross misunderstanding of basic biomechanics and lifting theory.

>and if done properly, quads

Every squat is good for quads.
The issue is that front squats are, for the vast majority of people, limited by your back. Back squats reduce this limitation, so your quads aren't bottlenecked by your back muscles and thus it's a more effective exercise for the quads.

The rest of your post is pathetic gibberish. Let me know if I missed something important cause I just skipped through it as I don't have time for shitposting.

Ask Paul what he thinks. You'll be surprised by the answer, and maybe realise that you shouldn't be judging people the way you are.

>no one likes you

t. You

I avoid as much as possible.

Unfortunately I am human and my patience has limits.

I'm sorry I can't act perfectly and let them shit up the thread among themselves like they do anyways regardless if I engage or not.

Veeky Forums is the worst thing that ever happened to Veeky Forums, to be quite honest.

Blueshoes killed owg

you're killing plg

post nudes

You sound really triggered and very aggressive so I'm gonna give it to you.

There are a lot of people who are stronger than you,have trained longer than you and understand programming more than you do who help other people as ANONYMOUS.

Also,your avatarfagging is annyoing as fuck but ofc it's better to continue doing it and post walltexts about how they're sfw.

You say you don't respond to retards but most of the posts in this thread is you talking about roleplaying and "delete this,delete that".

Tbh I miss the Sean days and the deleted threads every fucking hour,off to reddit I go.

What do you think is the best intermediate program?

>Belt squats

I swear I actually lift, but what the fuck are belt squats?

Frankly, you're all idiots. If you do front squats with any actual weight, you will feel the muscles in your upper back working to keep your thoracic spine extended so that the bar can stay on your shoulders. If your upper back caves forward, the bar is going to slip off.

Front squats will strengthen one's quads. ANY squat will strengthen one's quads. Front squats, I'd wager, are most often failed because the knee extensors weren't strong enough, so the lifter instinctively leans forward to better involved their hamstrings and shit, as in a back squat, and its often misdiagnosed as a failing thoracic spine.

Trappy is arguably right, however, that back squats (low bar, high bar weighted knee bends are an crime against Stronk and shan't be referred to as squats) are better for your quads. Back squats allow you to load a lot more weight, and the quads are still the only muscle that actively extends the knees.

The best, and probably only reason to front squat, is to train recovery from heavy ass cleans.

kill yourselves you dumb edgy faggots. Stay fat and sub 150 wilks. Just end it all you dimwits, jump to the nearest woodchipper head first

Well that was a bunch of fuckin words that served to further illustrate your retardation. You are wrong and you don't know what you're talking about. You are a stupid fuck and no one likes you. Kill yourself you dumbshit delusional faggot.

Front squats are GOAT ab and quad excercise, you might know that (like literally everyone else in the world) if you ever lifted in your entire fucking life.

Bit of a stretch to call front squats a back exercise just because they're a core stabilizer Tbh.

It'd be like calling squats an ab exercise. I mean, you're not wrong but lmao?

I'm not the one actively derailing the threads.

In fact, if left alone, I post 100% about powerlifting. This has been proven time and time again, and you can see for yourself in the archives.

YOU are the one killing plg.

I said I don't have time for shitposting.

What context, what goal?

For powerlifting?

I'd say TM for early intermediate, Sheiko for intermediate.

You use a dip belt to hold plates by your hips, then squat.

Basically what it does is it takes your back out of the equation. Thus the movement is basically 95% limited and focused on your lowerbody.

This allows you to avoid recovery issues with your spinal erectors, that are so often subject to detrimental fatigue levels and bottlenecking your main competition lifts - while still hitting your quads hard with extra volume, as they usually won't have the same issue with recovery as your erectors.

go back to 9gag

Belt squats are featured in the supertrainingTV video on How to Squat with Max Aita. He speaks very positively of them.

It's around the second half of the video, when they're done with the actual section on squats.

it's perfectly reasonable to say that front squats are better for quads than back squats even if upper back is a more common failing point. There's far less posterior chain involvement so it can be used to specifically train quads without putting my strain on lower back or allowing posterior chain to get involved, forcing the lifter to use quads more

not interested in the rest of the discussion, just pointing this part out as debatable

Cool trappy heard about belt squats on the internet where he spends 100% of his time. We better listen to him everyone, he's basically sheiko, wilks and louie simmons combined.

coach me trappy! I need an experienced coach like you!

What was your wilks again? 850?

Really, both squats so broadly recruit various muscle groups, calling them [any particular body part or region here] exercises is inaccurate. Front squats are a wee bit more specific, but they still accomplish a lot of the things back squats do, just most of it not as well.

The thoracic extension is probably trained better by the front squat. It is trained in the back squat to some extent, because you are still holding it all "tight" in order to create a solid platform for the bar to rest on. But the bar/weight rests right on top of your thoracic spine. There is very little lever arm on the bones the muscles are bracing.

In a frotnt squat, the weight is significantly out in front of your vertebrae and shit, which makes it harder for your upper back to support it, even though there is less weight.

I'd still say, for most people, the limiting factor in a front squat is quad strength, not upper back strength.

I mean, unless they've been doing exclusively lower body exercises while avoiding pretty much anything like deadlifts, cleans, OHP, rows, or any other such shit that might strengthen muscles in the upper back

I have real life experience with belt squats. Both me directly, and trainees I worked with.

They're good accessories, if a bit of a hassle to set up sometimes.

Your hamstrings and glutes aren't involved that much in squats.
Studies have shown that squats involve 100% your quads but only 60-80% your hip extensors.

The whole "front squats for the back" isn't just me though. It's a well known thing in Weightlifting, and you can ask any Soviet-block coach or athlete and they will confirm - source: Klokov mentions it in his book, Sheiko (who coaches weightlifting as well) mentions it in his forum and videos, and Aleksey mentions it in an interview.
And I'm sure coaches from other nations will have a similar opinion.

>I don't have time for shitposting.

>spends every waking second shitposting

Trappy be gone!

it's disgusting how you put yourself on the level of other coaches. Not even international coaches, just coaches in general. you're a weak tranny

I don't disagree that posterior chain isn't secondary to quads, but my point is that telling someone to front squat may be more effective as a quad-specific exercise than trying to force them into a more quad-centric motion. Even if you just refer to this in powerlifting terms, Dan Green correctly points out how a lack of focus on quads in the squat is what killed Westside in the raw arena

and I did specify that I wasn't engaging with the rest of the discussion, I'm well aware of the relationship between upper back and front squats

So about actual plg talk

Taking a deload week this week since my last week (which was first week of sheiko int) felt really awful. Couldn't do any of my squats without debilitating lower back pain despite the fact the first week is light as fuck. Bad thing is, since I'm only meant to be doing bench this weak but have no programming for it, I've just slacked off completely.

It's late night tuesday and I haven't done shit yet fug. Need some motivation to go and do a bro workout

I don't consider in depth conversations about lifting and powerlifting to be shitposting. They serve a purpose, which is to increase my knowledge by interacting with people of different opinions and experience, and to increase the general knowledge of the community by sharing the things I know in plenty of detail - so people can analyse it for themselves and reach their own conclusion on the issue.

It's a win-win thing. And it's valuable for a community of Powerlifters.

This general shouldn't just be blog posting about "today I squats 333 x 5 reps it was fun" or "I started a deload will I lose strenght". That is part of it, but there's space for more in depth conversations as well.

Just my opinion though.

I don't though. You're doing it yourself. I appreciate it, kinda, but I'm not on their level being quite frank.

Fair enough. I was just trying to start some actual conversation about lifting :)

>You use a dip belt to hold plates by your hips, then squat.
>Basically what it does is it takes your back out of the equation. Thus the movement is basically 95% limited and focused on your lowerbody.

A.) It sound like you'd have to do it on boxes or something so the weights can dangle below you
B.) That sounds like something impossible to load heavy enough to matter for the type of trainee that might need such specific accessory work to add volume on top of just doing the competition lifts.

>This allows you to avoid recovery issues with your spinal erectors, that are so often subject to detrimental fatigue levels and bottlenecking your main competition lifts

If the goal is just to remove the erectors from the lift, why not leg press?

Also, I have zero problems progressing competition lifts, except maybe goddamn bench press. ESPECIALLY not squats. They're also not terribly low (except for goddamn bench press).

I've got stupid short femurs, so I'm a natural squatter, but this seems like a bunch of overwrought crap that most trainees, ESPECIALLY the scrubs you're going to find on /plg/, are better off ignoring.
