/plg/ powerlifting general

Who here finally spring. 20C and sunny, pic related is me whole day

>being a celsicuck

This is why bench press is objectively the worst lift.

But powerlifting babbies will complain about flexible people ruining the standing press by arching their backs too much.

Also no spring here. It was just in the 20s this weekend

/r/ the chinese bench arch

Feels good here I can already feel more motivated to lift.

whats the point if you're just gonna run over them after you shoot them?

Max width grip and max arch is max comfy

Bait/10

anyone know of any lightweight knee wraps for training? lighter then a powerlifting wrap and heavier then an ace bandage

hookgrip sell these but the shipping for me is so ridiculous because i'm international

Just get knee sleeves faggot

Are you wondering why you would shoot a pig before running him over?

I can't justify spending over a hundred dollars on knee sleeves for training

I'm wondering what is the point if you aren't going to eat them
>hunting for sport instead of hunting for food

>over a hundred dollars
Do you live in Antarctica?

Rehbands are like 60 buck and they will last you 10 years

They're big Hogs.

And because wild Hogs are a scourge on ecosystems

Fuck that shit, just get a bigger chest.

Show me a pair of sleeves that cost over $100

Yellow jacket sleeves are p good and only $60 for the pair

Would plg recommend TM, C6W or sheiko for an early intermediate?

>sleeves, shoes and wrist wraps to squat 3pl8

TM

T. Benchlet

I see why youd say wrist wraps but whats the problem with sleeves and shoes?

Blest Intermediate

>not protecting your wrists

I'm suicidal :]

TM or C6W, sheiko is dumb as an early intermediate because you can progress so much faster than the program does

>Not using wrist wraps when squatting low bar with your thumbs under the bar
Enjoy your tendinitis and rekt wrists and elbows

Thanks for your input guys

Depends on what you mean with early intermediate. Sheiko is probably the way to go either way though.

>not even an ayy tee gee olympic squat
shiggydiggydoo

Almost. Australia

Nonononononono I don't want to do today workout

>mfw skipped a workout this week to work on take home exam
>tfw spent all the time shitposting instead

Stop being a pussy and get your money, it's time to eat.

I want to feel her touch
Really on my crouch
I want my own hentai girl
And she would sing

*autistic orgasm*

>this arch
>this 5cm ROM

the fuck, do our PLers actually defend that shit?

It's hard to do shit like that, ok

>Wanted to go and squat yesterday
>Fell asleep getting changed
Can't train until Thursday

Joe?

>fell asleep getting changed
U wut

what are you cool guys training today

When I fully lock out deadlift the bar crushes my dick and balls and its starting to be a real problem now that I'm getting close to 5 hundo. How to solve? DO I need to wear a cup?

Suddenly lost all my energy as soon as I got into the house

Deadliftx1@8, 4x3
Pin press x1@8, 4x3
High bar skwaat 7x6

'are good' I'd rather not even wear sleeves if I had to wear my yellow jackets again. I'd rather pay double to price for SBD rather than throw 60$ in the garbage with Titan knee sleeves. However, titan does make the best wrist wraps hands down.

that fucking ugly spreadsheet 2/10 would not train

Resting today, doing day 1 tomorrow

tbf it originally looked like this. I just MS Painted over it so it reflected what I'm actually going to do

what is this

>High bar skwaat 7x6
N-O-T-Y

MA's program he wrote based on CWS's stuff. He slightly altered it for me and I made the spreadsheet.

NOTY?

Titan might actually make the worst wraps. Efts, metal, and Inzer are all better by far.

>chest muscles

oh ok

no ty

Kek considering last week was 6x10 squats I'm fine with this week

I got to source of my lower back and neck pain

yasterday deadlifts someone walked infront of me and I followed him with head while picking up weight

rip me

are you a special olympian powerlifter?

>me
>powerlifter
>sub 300 wilks

jokes on you man

powerlifter starts with wilks of atleast 370

>tfw squat more than I deadlift
If I run sheiko small load for my squat, and large load for my deadlift would the gap close a lot faster?

pls someone, before i crush my balls and become a woman from lack of test

Probably not

Also, why do you think it matters?

It matter because my total is being held back.
If a normal person squats 4pl8 they diddly around 5pl8, but I squat 440 and diddly around 425.

Squat lower/learn to pull sumo if you're under 6'0

I'm 6'0 with a 6'3" wing span, so should I stay on conventional or switch to sumo?

>If a normal person squats 4pl8 they diddly around 5pl8
Why do you believe this?

every person I know irl that squats over 405 deadlifts 500+

If I do CGBP only, should I isolate chest or is it used enough?

Look for the mike T how to test if sumo is good for you video on YT
Basically you pull sumo alongside conventional for a few months IIRC

But why do you think it has to be perfectly proportionate and that your deadlift must always be bigger than your squat?

I don't know if it must be proportionate, but I definitely feel like my deadlift should be larger than my squat because everyone around me is that way and watching PL comps the deadlift is where the total is made. That is unless I am some freak that's talented at squatting.

>That is unless I am some freak that's talented at squatting.
ding ding
>the deadlift is where the total is made
I think your perception may be off actually, excluding certain monster deadlifters.

Some of us compete equipped, and deadlift becomes even less than bench.

>tfw talent-chad

Who is this tummy mummy

I like mine. I got one size smaller than my chart measurements, and I think they're the jam.

Tape your junk between your legs.

when i squatted 350 i dl over 500

Iktfb

When i squatted 350 i dled 285

Woah a deadlift monkey
Spoopy

P-perhaps that's what he's wondering

how do you actually bench with good form no matter how hard itry my shoulders always come forward even just trying to practice good form with the bar,

You don't fix your working weight form by going ham with the bar for a start
You want to do plenty of sets of 2-3 reps with 80% so you can actually change your form and carry it over to maximal weights

You probably need a stronger back and more shoulder flexibility if you can't even do it properly with the bar. You most likely have tight pecs as well.

sheiko Tbh

Work on your upper back/rear delt musculature. Think about actively pulling the bar to your chest on the eccentric.
Also, trying to fix your form with very light weight is not the way to go.

The guy in OP's picture trains in a gym in my town, I guess he lives here too. Fucking manlet is what he is, like 5"2

they're spoopy to see in person too.
There's a lanky black guy at my gym who weighs maybe 170lbs; I've never seen him squat, he benches around 185lbs, and yet he deadlifts 6 plates with a regular bar (as in not a ipf bar or a deadlift bar)

Lmao jesus
