Powerlifting general

plain crewneck Ts, unbuttoned long sleeve collar shirts, jeans, sneakers

fashion is for faggots

hydration, vitamin b-12, savory/salty soup day after
pho is godtier hangover food

What exercises work the lower traps? On symmetric strength my upper/mid traps are in the low 80s while my lower traps are in the low 70s. I want to fix this imbalance

what brand t shirts

13 mm vs 10 mm belts? anyone??

uniqlo & target mossimo Ts

i bought one of these

roguefitness.com/rogue-ohio-lifting-belt

my only complaint is that since its 13mm all the way around and i wear it low when i bend over to do deadlifts or wear it too low when i squat it tends to cut into me when i lean over and leave some red marks

i like it though

Did sean kill himself

sleeves too long

my working weight for squats and dl is around 225
should i invest in a belt or wait until i can lift heavier

idk up to you

i bought a belt after i hit 3pl8 up until then i had done everything beltless but one day i decided to borrow the belt my old gym had and decided i needed one

i dont use my belt on my warmup except for the last set before my working weight because i like to get used to the belt

if im squatting kinda light i dont wear it at all

fasho man cheers

yeah its up to you tbqh

Thanks pal
Anything I can do before I go to bed to reduce the severity when I wake up though?

Hey Isley. Multiply guy here. Wore a katana today and my triceps look like they got attacked by a wolverine. Fucking Titan am I right??

...

Hey guys,

I won't have much time for lifting for the next several months I think, so what's the best thing for me to do if I have maybe 4 x per week for 1.5 hr at most.

Bodybuilding focus with PL movements?

PL movements still?

Livin in a world so cold
Wasting away

This doesn't work for dudes with a vtaper and big delts.
Polo shirts are a muscular mans friend.

>polo shirts

It's the choice for CHAD™

its the choice for dyels and indians

I will show you where I have made my home while preparing to bring justice. Then I will break you.

*pussies exploding*

I have two regularly straight sized pairs of jeans; one dark denim and one stonewashed. T-shirts; graphic and plain. Light blue shirt for special occasion. Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 are my go-to shoes. I have various jackets and coats I wear, but everything else stays the same. I wear Elvis glasses when it's sunny.

Drink more.

>Elvis glasses

That's enough time for PL.

I'm 6'9'' with postural kyphosis but it's getting better. Just started hitting the gym again after a few years of not. I have trouble keeping balance at times doing front squats and cleans. I just heard about these powerlifting shoes. Are they meme shoes? I don't really have a problem keeping my heels on the ground, but it sounds like for taller people it can help. Plus $90 ain't much to ship out for.. I've just been using beat up sneakers for comparison.

Pic related is worth every penny

...

Not a meme

Particularly if you grew up in a country with running water and consequently have trash ankle/knee/hip mobility.

I have the 2.0s, my Achilles is so bad I want Leistungs or Adipowers even for the dyel 2pl8 I'm at.

I whip it out and jack off onto them on the spot in order to show not only my arousal at their failure, but also my complete superiority.

Not going to lie, I've been banned from a lot of gyms.

I powerlift barefoot but I'm 5'9 so the variable might not count.

Form checks for low-bar squats (250 lb) please? Doing SS right now.

Set 1 - 45 degree angle view:

Warm-Up Set - Right side view (200 lb x 2):

youtube.com/watch?v=Zl4zGtYVQSY

Things I noticed and tips for myself:

-Should take a longer and deeper gulp of breath before going down

-Toes should be pointed out a little more

-Head should be pointed down a little so that a tennis ball could fit between my chin and neck (as per the book)

-Right side of bar is shifting forward while left side of bar is shifting backward while coming up halfway (evident in the bar path as shown in set 1 versus warm-up). I'm not sure where this problem came from and in my head I have the right cues in mind (mentally picturing a straight bar path, driving hip evenly while coming up). I did dislocate my left shoulder 2 years ago though. I had limited range of motion to a point it would be painful to rack the bar on my shoulders for a low bar squat. However physiotherapy fixed all of my pain and I don't feel any pain anywhere while making these videos. What's the problem? How do I correct this?

Let me know if my tips for myself are correct and please point out any errors in my squats that I haven't noticed. Thanks in advance!

Here's a tip lad.. drop the ego and start lifting highbar.

yeah, looks good. Theres no problems with your form

oh and if you're twisting under the load, just don't do that.

Who here never recovers because of lack of sleep. Where my insomnia lads at.

>wake up
>spend 9 hours a day in uni
>gym afterwards
>get home to cook and eat
>time to go to bed
fuck me

Reporting in lad. Still making gains on candytoe intermediate but 8 hours of unbroken sleep would be godly.

At this point even 6 hours make me happy

Which wraps do I buy

same here doing the exact same thing

i get like 6 hours

Tomorrow is the start of week 5 and I am pretty excited to see what results I get, I had to deload on the first week because I had a couple weeks off.

I have Inzer Grippers and I like them. They get proper tight but they are identical(no L/R) so wrapping them can be a tiny bit annoying.

Competed in my first competition yesterday lads. Hit a 515kg total at 80kg bodyweight which I was a little disappointed with but I got on the board and won my class by default. Also qualified for nationals in this federation. Safe to say I've caught the bug, excited to start training again and fixing my weakness'

Grats lad. Get ready to smash that total at nationals.

Wrist? Titan golds
Knee? None

How did your 9 go?

titan golds are nice and stiff, but i went back to gangstas as you can really crank them, even with 36 inch the titans make it hard to get a lot of coverage

Cheers man. Still unsure whether I'll go, I might try a different fed at a higher weight class just for more experience. I was head and shoulders above everyone in my class in terms of height

I hit 6/9. First two squats were easy at 170/180. Unfortunately they set the rack height too high for my last attempt at 190 and had to drop it down which kinda threw my focus off. I went conservative on the bench as I have gorilla arms and legs so I struggle with it. Hit 100, failed 105 (ass off the bench) and then hit 105. Deadlift went pretty well did an easy 220, an ok 230 and then decided to go balls to the wall with an over triple bodyweight deadlift at 242.5. Got it above knees but failed to lockout probably due to fatigue. I squatted my first attempt at like 11am and my last deadlift at 5:30pm

>I squatted my first attempt at like 11am and my last deadlift at 5:30pm

thats pretty good to be honest, some meets run longggg

yeah if youre a lot taller than everyone in your class you need to move up

i miss seeing supermongoloid getting btfo over and over again

Yup I only competed in the 82.5kg class as I felt a little too soft at 90. In hindsight soft was good for my total. These things you learn I suppose so I'm looking forward to putting some weight back on

My friends at a PL gym want me to do a meet. Realistically I could probably get around 600 kg total in -105.

Worth going or should I stay home with these numbers?

Worht going

Having just done my first, I wish I'd have done it years ago. Nobody gives a shit about your numbers, only their own. I'd do it if I was in your shoes

>Nobody gives a shit about your numbers

people refuse to accept this until they do a competition

Definitely, I did my first with less than that. Really no harm in going, either you btfo them or you learn something lol

Week 8 cutting on SS I'm down from 288lbs to 268lbs. But I started eating at maintenance during the weekend. Am I fucking up my cut?

During work days 2500kcal
Saturday 4000kcal
Sunday 1500kcal

name of this girl?

i miss trappy-chan posting about her cute benis

>Worth going or should I stay home with these numbers?
Why is everyone so up their own ass about being world champ tier before they even start competing? It's worth going if you want to try pl and is interested in the sport.

What size? 12, 19.5, or 24"?

The scientific basis for a refeed day lies within the leptin-boosting power from a short-term boost in calories. Leptin, a hormone that regulates satiety and energy intake, decreases when body-fat levels go down and carbohydrate intake gets reduced. As a result, hunger levels rise and satiety is reduced.

>her
rafaello is a boy

I've got powerlift 2s

Should I give them to my brother and just buy power perfects instead?

>600kg total
So like a like a 140kg bench, 210kg squat, 250kg deadlift? Ratios don't matter, just getting a general sense of your strength. Why wouldn't you compete with that? Those are intermediate numbers.

THIRTY SIX INCH

Whos dis?

That's a bit much don't you think

no, they come in that size for a reason

the idea is to cast the joint so it cant move and has as much support as possible, i get 3 revolutions from my gangstas and barely got 2 and a half from my titan golds and i have tiny wrists

Classic Yuros running now, watch jailbait twinks pull(and bench) more than Lith.

Which meets and comps have any kind of testing in kangaroo land?

NO

24" is perfect.

Powerlifting Australia comps
powerliftingaustralia.com/

I heard that Robert Wilks personally goes to every PA meet in Australia and demands piss samples.

>perfect
your wrists bend right back because you have short soft as fuck wraps

The misconception that success is a moment in time, not a process in itself. Same as most on Veeky Forums obsess over fixing inane things before even attempting to resolve >tfw no gf. Yes, surely no woman will ever be able to love you because an arbitrary distance between your facial features does not match that of someone else, go hang yourself immediately.

I have 1m SBD stiffs. They're stiffer than sig golds.

>15 year old
>Over 400 wilks
>I hope to break 350 in may, at the age of 23
Kill me lads

leptin sensitivity doesnt really matter for anybody above 12%bf though

How do you lads prep for a meet? Thinking of doing my first meet in mid June(falls on a Sunday). Thinking of taking the week off prior with the last training day being the Friday a week back. More than happy to be told better.

a metre is over 36 inches?

then youre wrapping wrong to get that much wrist movement

I don't think it's a good idea to stop training completely a week prior. A better idea imo is to do 1-2 extremely light workouts the week before and do some singles at 50-60% 2 days before the meet. Lets you rest but the feeling of the lifts is still in your body.

>lifting big weights
that's what it's all about, faggot

pic related

ignore the assistance, replace that with yours, reducing over the 3 weeks and no assistance

6 days out do all 3 lifts at 55% for the reps shown

for your attempts, take the 1rm done on week one and use
1st 0.9
2nd 0.97
3rd 1.05

so if you hit a 200kg squat on week one you would take
1st 180kg
2nd 194kg
3rd 210kg

one metre is 39+3/8 inches, boyo

>barely 320wilks at 22
I doubt I'll ever hit 400
