Everytime i asked this question i get varying responses from "do whats comfortable" to "low bar and sumo fpr maximum weights"
Q: are there any advantage whatsoever in choosing high bar (not necessarily olympic stance) over low bar in powerlifting? And conventional over sumo and vice versa?
Typical responses:
>HB General strength, LB for pepperlifting
Then how come guys like rubish/haack/lilliebridge squats high bar then?
>high bar if you do conventional because the quad strength will translates well to conventional deadlift
>sumo for more weights if you can get to position because muh adductors abd less range of motion
Then how come all the deadlift monsters who break 4 digit numbers do conventional deadlift?
Caleb Collins
from unbiased standpoint, there is no advantage unless doing HB or conventional makes it easier/you can lift more weight but thats highly unlikely
Matthew Rogers
Big Zydrunas!

are you retarded?
critical thinking. try it sometime
Ian Peterson
There are no advantages to high bar over low bar, unless you have shoulder problems to the extent you just can't assume a low bar position.
All the heaviest deadlifts, pulled by the most handsome deadlifters, have been conventional. Sumo is a way for weight class babbies to cheat. It's legal half squatting, and you should only do it if MAYBE lifting more weight in the children's weight classes is worth your self respect and the respect of others.
Jason Adams
Guys, would you suggest using the wstside conjugate method? If so, help me with a template or something, please.
Jaxon Ross
>There are no advantages to high bar over low bar Sorry what did you say I couldnt hear over the sound of mouthbreathing
James Long
I would not. Especially not for someone on /plg/, who is most likely and unroided, unequipped scrub squatting less than three times their sub-200 lbs bodyweight.
Tell me you height, weight, basic training history, and current lifts, and maybe I can recommend something.
Adam Bennett
Equipped squattos today
2x3 @ 250 2x2 @ 265

5'7 176lbs did stronglifts a month, starting strength 3 months, a ppl for 3 months, experiencing with 5/3/1 for 2 months, and curently doing a push pull. >inb4 workout hoping bench 176lbs for 5 ohp 110lbs for 5 deads 250lbs for 5 squat210lbs for 5
Hunter Bell
Only if you know what you're doing and how to modify it for raw lifting. It's fun, it's pretty good for getting overall bigger and stronger but it's also easy to fuck up and isn't the greatest for solidifying technique unless you change things around.
Evan Russell
I'm only here to read some isley posts.
Nathan Flores
what do people think of deadlifting in olys vs flats? ive always used them for squats and i was wondering if the raised heel provides a significant deficit when pulling off the floor
Dominic Carter
Most people don't benefit from it but every now and then you run across someone who finds the extra leg drive a worthwhile tradeoff for the longer rom and worse starting leverages.
Jason Diaz
>cut my leg again from deadlifting
I'm wearing shin pads next time I don't even care
Alexander Gonzalez
But lb is for general strength and performance. You don't need supa quads for any real life shit.
John Smith
do 531 with upper lower split. upper on bp and ohp, lower on squat and dl days.

A-at least I saw this license plate last night while out with friends. Literally made my week.
Daniel Barnes
For powerlifting purposes, I'd recommend Starting Strength...
Start with Squats at 3x5 135 lbs, Bench at 3x5 85 lbs, OHP at 3x5 55 lbs, and deadlifts at 1x5 155 lbs.
Add 5 lbs every time you do a lift, except for deadlifts, where you add ten (but only do them every other workout). If you don't want to power clean for some reason, speed deadlifts are a good option to do when you aren't doing Real deadlifts. I'd recommend 5x3 starting at 95 lbs or something. Increase by 5 lbs every time.
Try to gain at least to 200 lbs. I know you're only 5'7'', but I'm 5'10'', 235 lbs, and not fat by normal standards. Isley is about my weight, and I'm pretty sure about my height, and he is also stronk and reasonably muscular. If you want to get bigger and stronger, you're going to have to gain some weight.
Also, read SS The Book and try to do the lifts as explained in the book. Its the simplest way to effectively lift heavy weights. Unless you want to sumo deadlift like a bitch.
Run SS until you stall, then go to Texas Method.

Apparently deadlifting in olympic shoes avtivates your quads more
I suggest you try/play around with either first

Say what you want about the manlet Asians but they are the strongest on the team. Small ass femurs squatting 315 for sets for 12 at like 160
Camden Walker
GO ALEX!
Nolan Brooks
Fuck off peniswoman, you already infected the other /plg/. This one doesnt welcome unnatural creatures such as you
Shut the fuck up jeffrey lai. Get the fuck back to your rice fields you porcupine headed, buckteethed gook. Nobody cares about the shit weights asian lift and no, it doesnt make it great that they're lifting it at low bodyweights. Its not because theyre strong, its because theyre manlets.
Ryder Stewart
Alex and Twinkalex went 3/3 on squats
Alex did 255kg Twinkalex did 172.5kg
Oliver Perez
Just started lifting this week after about a month of garbage routines. Can someone help me get a little perspective?
I'm one week in on stronglifts, still trying to find my maxes, just want to know what to aim for
Brody Smith
Gooottt 40kg 8*3 binch 107.5kg trips and dubs diddly And had some comfy squatto mobility time and bounced at depth with the bar. It hurts little but last time I was half squatting and nearly crying.

How's squats? What did you decide to do in the end?
John Gray
I squatted 300lb for 10 the other day at 5'10, 157lb bodyweight, not asian. It's all just training style.
Anthony Thompson
Very nice. Very bad.
Gavin Richardson
> all types of strength training accepted
I have run out of LP on my upper body. Due to a previous injury my lower body is lacking and as such i am still LPing.
I appriciate that OHP is secondary when it comes to powerlifting but for me it is just as important as bench.
Any good programs that take that into account? (Apart from TM)
Cheers!
Brandon Sanchez
You can add OHP to a powerlifting routine, and progress it how you wish.
Give me an example of a program you wish to run and I'll help you add in OHP
I have an idea We make 2 plg threads. One for people who don't care about the underage naked ladyboy cartoons and the beta orbiters and one for the old boys. We'll call it VPLG (vanilla plg). Everybody wins this way. If you want a thread with trappy in you can have it and if you want rid then come on over.

If you want to avoid me, just filter my trip lol

Nah ur just proving ur mentally ill by posting in the other thread desu.
Aiden Edwards
Some people want to avoid anything that comes with you like the orbiters and shitposting etc
Austin James
Hi this looks pretty fun (which is important!). Any reason for 3x5 as opposed to setting a new 5rm as per TM? Cheers
Austin Flores
Ikr.
I'll be doing 110kg 3*2 diddly next week.
Noah Taylor
Regular TM you're testing all lifts in a single day. If you do 3x5 in all of them, you're gonna be exhausted really quickly (and risk injuries).
On splits, you're only maxing out one lift per day. The extra volume from 3x5 is beneficial for progression, and won't really kill you.
Cool, so do I lol
Blake Clark
Ok. Only asking cause i've stalled like 1000 times on 3x5. I had sucess doing 3x5, then 5x3 next session.
>I had sucess doing 3x5, then 5x3 next session. Im doing this and its working well. Linear progression.
Adam Lewis
Well, you will be doing 3x5 to test, then 5x5 for volume.
If 3x5 gets hard, cycle the reps to 3x3, then 4-5x1-2.
Christian Moore
Well that feels shitty
Jeremiah Taylor
Who made this table? It isn't from a book, is it?

oh cmon its still funny, or atleast you can laugh with how much of a retard that driver is.
Jaxon Young
I did mobility work with the bar doing 3*3
And bounced for three reps at the bottom and stretched hamstrings. Did upright body weight squats as well.
Lincoln Wood
Thanks. I'll give it ago. I'll report back 1st May.
Logan Sanchez
I hope so. Just thinking about training. Bench went really well rear delts tight AF. Were strong sets.
Ian Robinson
No, my OC.
Sure! If you need any help you know where to find me :)
Blake Butler
i'll explain it in little kids language so you understand
lets say we have to pretty litte houses
in house #1, we have green happy people in house #2, we have red happy people
but if a red person goes to green house, the green people get very angry, because they are allergic to red people
the red people then, being the nice human beings that they are, stay away from the green people and only interact with the red people, because they respect the allergies of the green people
a red person wouldn't think to intrude in the green home, because it would be rude
i know its 2017 and everyone should be accepting and all that yadda yadda. but it goes both ways. if people make a completely seperate thread that would co-exist (i know it won't last and just a troll thread, but still) just to avoid you, why can't you just stay in the regular thread? you wan't everyone to respect you and your rights, but can't respect others
if everyone hated me, regardless of the reason, and they made an effort NOT to get rid of me, but to form their own community, i would stay the fuck away
Luis Murphy

Doctors recommend filters for people with allergies all the time, you dunderpunce. See the suggestion to which you were replying in the first place.

have you considered moving onto reddit? you can admin you own safeplace there goodbye and gl
John Brown
i agree with the filter part in the regular plg, because there's only some people that doesn't like her
but if you create a SEPERATE thread where 99% of the people is against her, saying "filter me" is fucking retarded and you know it
Carson Cook

Cooper Morales
y u mad, tho?
Caleb King
Is it a good idea to do some speedpulls on off days ? If so how much % should I go for ? 50% ?
Thomas Collins
>only """""some"""""
Lucas Torres
There is one letter changed in that thread header. Most people likely think its a typo. In any case it isn't clear at all that it is meant to exclude certain types of cartoons or whatever.
The filter works as well in one thread as the other.

I'm currently running prep 1 and 2 with week 1 of comp. Turns out to be a solid 9 week program that you can cycle over and over again.
Oliver Bennett
I think I can manage with 5 weeks

David Reyes
This. Just keep doing the 4 wk cycle until you hit your goals, THEN do the comp cycle
Lucas Hernandez
Yes, if you can progress in one month that is the best option.
