/plg/ - the powerlifting general

>kbooey
literally who

I never did a proper LP program

How do I know if I could get anything out of it?

I didn't do them

bizarre
why

Run something linear and see how it goes?

Reminder to fix your posture.

On a scale of 1-10, how dumb is cautiously training through a minor lumbar disk herniation. I'm asking for a friend.

Only way to do it.

do you feel any pain or anything?

i thought a lot of people have minor herniations etc but dont realize it

idk though

Just some sciatica in the left foot. Very little back pain at all.

Tbh do the McGill shit every morning, maybe try lifting and see if there's anything that's totally uncomfortable and train from there. I mean, this isn't "good advice" but it's what I did.

not op but can you give me a link?

Is having your dad be your gymbro weird?

much appreciated

No, it's sick

But I mean, he could give me a ride to the gym, I'd always have someone to give me handoffs, always have a spotter etc.

Post PR music:

Go compete against Lilliebridge in the raw with dad division.

I don't get how people can lift to such light-hearted music. I need someone screaming bloody murder in my ear.

He meant sick in a good way you aspy. Why would having your father as a trainer be weird? Is throwing a baseball with your father weird? No, calm your autism bro

Training partner* fucking christ I hate typing on my phone

It's sick is a good thing man.

Sounds pretty great though if he does become your training partner. I tried talking to my dad about it and he doesn't want to even though he follows weightlifting a bit.

He is excited for my first meet though so that should help me out because no one wants to look like shit in front of their dad.

pls b patient nd respect i have autist

>mfw had no family present at my first meet
I think I just would have gotten nervous if I did, even though it was just a club meet

Reminder this exists.

I hate letting my dad down so I reckon it will help a bit. I have a couple of mates coming as well and two of my brothers.

Just finished up c6w day 8 and I managed to get 10 reps of 127.5(pls no bully) and then do 10x3 of 122.5, feel pretty good though. I just want to lay on the ground all day and not move though.

pls be kg

Joe's dad is basically a bigger, stronger, balder version of him. Meeting him was like looking 35 years into Joe's future.

So Benchbeta is going to end up fat (already is KEK) wireless and a bench+beta? KEK

Joe btfo by me, his arch nemesis

It is thankfully. Hoping to get 170 on the 6th week. I got 160 last time I did a mock meet and I fell into the safeties.

Never thought waiting for a rack command would be hard so I started doing the pause at the end of each set.

>wireless
?

>tfw want to go to the gym tomorrow but am stuck on a wired connection

It is now April, and Frog is still not my fuckbuddy.

>Squat chugging along at 5lb a week
>Deadlift going backwards

shit dude fuck

If i can squat roughly the same amount of weight low bar with flats and high bar olympic style on any given day, should i continue on with high or low bar? Ive been told if thats the case continue doing high bar for athletic ability improvement in the long run

Tomorrow is my first meet , halp pls

Lift real good

Which style feels comfiest to you?

if you're american, go to sleep.

jtsstrength.com/articles/2014/01/22/tips-1st-powerlifting-meet/

the checklist here is pretty good, I still use it for my meets

Make sure to pack or buy food before your meet so you don't die while waiting hours to lift.

kys

You just want him for yourself!!

>tfw you haven't had a meal in 2-4 hours

>tfw you go straight from the gym to Chipotle and crush two burritos minimum

>just woke up and a fresh 3000 calories to eat today
Also got paid yesterday, might get a burrito myself

>tfw your shake is 3000 cals

Driving three hours (each way) to train equipped bench

RIP

this hurts my back

L E A N E R
wew lad why

people routinely do this, its a good thing to do to train with people who know what theyre doing and can improve you

Oh yeah

GB EQ Bench squads :^)

Ye

Also I've just got an audible subscription. Makes driving much nicer desu.

what is it like 2hundo? You're not even competitive raw Tbh

I'm not competitive in anything, but I did win british equipped bench (first of one) so I'm still going.

>all you have to do to be on the national squad is not bomb

How can i bench More?

I am doing a meet next weekend. Originally i've signed up in the 90kg weight class, but there's a lot less guys in the 100kg class and my coach told me that if I gain weight, I'll probably get a medal.
BW 88kg after breakfast right now. The weigh in is in the morning, roughly 7 hours before I lift. How should I gain the weight without affecting my performance? I think I'll be 89 by then, should I just down a bottle of water?

>long femurs are the underactive thyroid of lifting
Are they really? Show me a pic of an accomplished long femured lifter (pl or wl).

t. bitter lanklet

do you compete? yeah i compete

No but I pretend to be a coach and spam sheiko on plg

Just bench more m8.

>tfw you train for strength, but you don't want to compete, so your routine isn't a purebred powerlifting program, however plg is the only place that makes sense on fit and you're stuck here with powerlifters, feeling like an everlasting outcast

dreamer bulk while lifting weights

The majority of high level conventional pullers have long femurs.
Some great squatters also have long femurs (Hancott, Norton, Blevins)

>HANCOTT
Finished
>Norton
Finished

It's not looking good

what are you currently listening to izlee?

youll just get fat with poor programming

No DBs or machines and extensions fuck my elbows

What do? I have a meet on September 9th. I'm going on vacation May 3-8, July 11-16 and July 31-August 12.

So it's:
4 weeks and change
>first holiday trip
5 weeks
>second trip
2 weeks
>third trip, this one almost 2 weeks
6 weeks
>meet

The last trip in particular is long enough to disrupt my training significantly. I'm thinking I need to increase volume so that I overreach in the week before the first and second trip, then in the 2 weeks between the second and third trip I go balls to the wall on volume, then the first 2-3 weeks after the third trip again high volume (since I'll be extra rested and slightly detrained/fitness will have decayed) but also medium-high intensity to peak, and then the last 3-4 weeks before the meet increase intensity and decrease volume to taper?
Thoughts?

woops made a mistake, there's about 10 weeks between trips 1 and 2

because the tendons are weak, start light and do sets of 20, theyll soon catch up

dont do anything stupid, just because youre going on holiday doesnt mean the principles of training suddenly dont apply to you, the best thing you can do is just continue with your planned training as best as possible, trying to to compensate could leave you worse off on compday

and a 4 week peak is more than possible see pic related, ignore my assistance and replace it with whatever you do, pay attention to the squat bench and dead numbers

Che macconna boys

Why not bring back the press, and do it against a wall?

Your dedication is exemplary

What kind of injury exactly am i dealing with here? I can squat and deadlift any weight for any reps up until i hit 200kg. At 200kg my left hamstring feels like its about to rip off and out of my leg. I can still do the lift but its scary af and ive stopped lifting heavy for over a month. Today i squat 160 for 20 180 for 6 and then when i put it up to 190 i felt the hamstring thing again.

i fucking hate screamer

guys got issues

Hey whens the underage animefaggot competing?
Also is there a stream for it
