/plg/ - powerlifting general

He has the best coach of plg, so all he has to do is not die like hancott.

>tfw you like everyone in that picture

Hey guys, how can I get freaky strong like the big guys at my gym?

Being the lower libido sucks too. I was the once a day type but she wanted it multiple times a day, every day. I just couldn't keep up and I felt pretty bad all the time. We found a compromise though

he needs a lot more than that. Sheiko recommends 5% jumps but he'd have to do a 20% jump in one cycle (and a bit) while already having an ok bench

Impossible for a deadend, frogs gotta ascend to beyond bryce

>liking dead people
:thinking:

>lith confirmed for cuckold

our compromise is that I get a handy or fap

Your problem was probably that you just aren't into pussy. Don't worry lad, you'll figure it out some day.

If I remember your girlfriend is underage.

So dont worry, in a few years she will be down to once every two weeks.

nah compromise was I learned to fuck more

>cum inside girl once a day 365
>dont like pussy

Every day? What level of meme is this

Teenage heat.

Just got my braces off and my teeth are disgustingly fucked

All my self confidence has just been shattered

Thinking of getting drunk and jumping under a train

I'm so fucking depressed but this picture really helped

>le unsubstantiated boasting

can you get caught for prednisone on a drugs test at a meet?

according to candito's video with bret cont contreras, sumo deadlift develops the glutes about as much as the conventional, but does anyone know about the upper back, the core and the hamstrings?

Well hammies are hip extensors and knee flexors, so if you ignore one its roles it'll likely end up causing problems down the line. Adding in some leg curls or GHR is an easy addition that'll keep em healthy. Plus most people need more hamstring work anyways.

Less/less/roughly equal, to my knowledge.

ye but the knee flexor component is trained isometrically, the discussion is probably more along the lines of asking if that's enough. My gym only has somewhere to do nordic curls, can't do GHR or leg curls (shitty gym)

is this a newish video? link?

Makes some sense. The big issue is that one of the four hamstring heads is solely a knee flexor since it inserts below the hip joint, so it gets basically no work from hip extension. It's also the one that tends to be most involved in knee stabilisation.

So while not necessary, it's probably in the same category as remembering to do your curls for elbow health.

that's basically the conclusion I've arrived at too. Oddly this seems to be very infrequently discussed when people talk about knee health though (in my experience anyway having researched that shit for years after my surgery)

could it be possible that a stance as narrow as possible (semi sumo) be better for muscle building? I know that I won't lift the most weight that way, but this is not what my goal is anyway

>2014

cmon candito its been almost a year

well he's posting on insta and twitter all the time lately

Honestly, for muscle building I'd have to think that some sort of RDL would be a better bet than regular deadlifts with either stance.

Anybody here really lonely?

How did you combat loneliness?

plg discord

I'd rather be lonely

I got numb to it.

Also internet friends are a good way to fake having real friends.

How long did it take to get numb?

rasputin?

I go to work most days, doesn't mean I like it.

Id say 2 years. That wasnt a fun 2 years by the way.
I think you should work on being more social instead of suffering those years.

Got any stories over those 2 years?

I thought the song reference was quite obvious about it. Trading semen with seamen.

No, I just sat at home playing video games, browsing Veeky Forums and going to the gym.

You just ruined the song for me............

I DID NOT SEE IT THST WAY

>tfw grip is the limiting factor in your deadlift

what do
I already chalk and mixed grip when double overhand gives out, can't into hook grip becase tiny hands (or because I don't get it)

Great... I would play vidya but I don't want to drop $500 on a console and games.

So all I've got is lifting and Veeky Forums, and I've only got plg, but it just doesn't cut it anymore.
Now I'm really lonely.

if you have money go to a club and fuck some bitches. if you don't, go work to make money (in the process make friends) and then fuck bitches in clubs. not really complicated

I was also studying full time and that helped to reduce the time with my own thoughts.

Hold the last rep of every set for 10-15 seconds
Static holds
Don't do DOH until it gives out, you're just tiring yourself out for no returns.

DOH ?

Mixed grip + Hook grip + straps

So you're saying I should mixed grip from the start, then on the last rep change to DOH and hold it?

Just do double overhand on all your accessories, and on every warm up set you can DoH, then do mixed grip on sets you can't double overhand.
Hold the last rep of all your deadlift sets for about 10 seconds

m8 I am fully planning to enjoy the next year by renting a high rise apartment downtown, going to the nearby gym after work, and coming home to dank music, ps4, and relaxing in the hot tub. Most of it will be alone, but I'm in meetings all day anyway so I don't think I'll mind.

That's very nice, and I wish you well, but I've been alone for a long time and it's taken its toll on me.

there are a few ways in my experience to make friends when you don't really have any (e.g. moving to new city)

1. join a small-ish gym built around, e.g. powerlifting, where you'll see the same regulars. You can then hang out with them. First it's grabbing lunch after lifting on Saturdays, then maybe going out for kbbq after work, then laser tag or some shit

2. join a sports team or club. This is enforced cameraderie

3. go back to university and live in a share house (or just live in a share house)

It's more that I can't leave my current friend group, and I dislike all of them. I'm in my finals years of school, and I'm stuck with friends I made when I was desperate.

I can't leave, there's nobody else to go to, and they wouldn't leave me alone if one day I just got up and tried to leave.

I hate most of them so much though

hang out with them less and less, then. Eventually 'breaking up' becomes easy because you barely see them anymore. Plus, it's pretty easy to just go hang out with other people in the ways I mentioned without leaving a friends group

I don't want to keep coming up with excuses for your advice, but I just don't know I'd do that realistically as we share classes (which are very small), and all other friend groups are closed off at this stage of life.

>all other friend groups are closed off at this stage of life.
yes, they are closed to whiny little bitches. you realize that people move to new cities all the time and make new social networks all the time, right?

But I'm not new? I've already made a name for myself?
It's hard to get across my meaning, but I've looked over these solutions already and there's just so many complications.

Go volunteer and fuck SJWs with colored hair.

lol ok

>IN THE NAVY
>COME ON YOUR FELLOW MAN

Fixed

Join your school's rugby club.

If your school doesn't have a rugby club, go to a different school.

Everyone in the club will be your friend, you will hate all of them for the stupid shit they do and get you into, but you'll be too drunk and concussed to give a shit.

>tfw I know everything but I'm too lazy too use all the information

Anyone know if there's any real difference in sizing between Adipowers and Powerlift 2? There's a sale fo Adipowers rn, but they only have half a size below my current shoes. You think I'm g2g still?

That's what I did.

Does sex make you happy or does it make you feel used up?

It makes me feel like crying and killing myself.

>then on the last rep change to DOH and hold it?
No, do mixed grip on all your deadlifts. You'll always be weaker with double overhand and it's not worth training it specifically.

Yeah I don't want to have sex as a cure for my depression desu

It's worth using on volume work, at least some of the time.

The word for not changing is death

but double overhand makes your mixed grip stronger anyway and its looks nice

overhand = art

miged grip = fucking barbarian

>looks nice

youtube.com/watch?v=tin0UUUo0PI

deadlifting overhand is artttttttttt

>tfw grip is the limiting factor in your deadlift

>what do
Weighted chin ups + heavy barbell rows.

Static hold aren't that great.

long farmers walks

>long farmers walks
Great for conditioning and training the farmer walk.

IMO, training grip while also activating the musculature of the back seems more effective for my own DL strength. I pull 600 el bees.

My back has started rounding on the deadlifts and I can't fix it reeeee
I'm deadlifting correctly, but I can NOT stop the rounding no matter what I do.

this has just started happening?

Reeee I PRd with a rounded back and now it feels like shit

>pulled a rounded back PR
>jumped around like blueshoes after
>back now feels shitty
>telling nobody because plg is dead

Reeeeeeeee

Supersetting a pull with a static hold is how I increased my grip strength, which used to be shit.

Want to KMS

just keep your back straight bro

kek I thought this pic was supposed to be duffin

Into dominance porn lads
Get really turned on over feeling a woman's body while she submissively blows you

I'll just say that it seems logical to me, and in line with the idea that pulling and pressing in multiple directions will keep the shoulders healthier compared to only e.g. bench and pullups would.

This was also the reason Avon considered dropping GHRs in favour of hip extension exercises too, way back when. His rationale was that it would help his powerlifts more. Don't know what he eventually did, tho.

Ok very interesting, most people.

Do a program focused on volume instead of intensity. Handle weights you can handle with perfect form for a fuckton of sets. Get strong, get huge. PR with perfect form.
(sheiko)

Same advise for improving grip strength.

Same thing afaik, though the PL3 is wider.

These numbers are coming off the top of my head, but from what I recall the main differences are the sumo engages 30% less spinal erectors and 15% more quads.
The rest is pretty much the same.

I like you as well bby user

The records are not 250/142/250 its 227.5/140/247.5

My goal is 250/142/250 but that would be a dream at best

>ye but the knee flexor component is trained isometrically, the discussion is probably more along the lines of asking if that's enough.
To the best of my knowledge, isometric training does very little for strength and hypertrophy. I have a pic about isometric holds and how they transfer to strength in that position, but not on this computer, and it's not really the isometric you're talking about, I guess.
Overthinking it kinda. I really doubt you'll notice a difference, and if the rest of your leg, core and back work is smart you shouldn't worry about it, imho. Use whatever technique you are better at.
How is OCDBro doing?
