/plg/ - powerlifting general

I ordered double not extra literally DOUBLE cheese on this pizza and it tastes like they put half the amount of regular cheese

no way is this double cheese
im pretty sure they doubled the sauce instead

I don't use dumbbells much, since I enjoy the cables more. I can feel it in my chest with the right machine, but I'd like to be able to do it with stuff I'll always have access to.

I'll try the flexing thing.

Sure you're not going too heavy?

Maybe because there's so much cheese that there is no contrast in flavors making the extra cheese unnoticeable?
You know how people put salt on watermelon to make the sweetness more obvious, so maybe you should do something similar.

sorry I thought we were friends, my mistake

so I should salt my pizza eh :thinking:

It's possible, yeah. I tried it lighter today (6x15), but I still only felt fatigue in my front delts. I assume my form is just shit.

Maybe not salt specifically, but something that contrasts the cheese flavor. Try some red pepper flakes, paprika, and maybe oregano.

wtf they put one (1) mushroom on my pizza as well

now i did not order mushrooms because if you like the taste of fungus wlel then i just dont know what to say

but what if i were deadly allergic to mushrooms and bit into it?

maybe i should ask for my money back since theres a mushroom on it

My fat fucking legs are now chaffing
How can I limit this while I lose weight?

Also how do I get lean, I have an eating problem.

Ah, that's why you ended the conversation when I asked you about your measure of self worth and stuff? Now I understand.
Possibly.

>maybe i should ask for my money back since theres a mushroom on it
Take note everyone, this is how the Jews retain their wealth.

>Doesn't like mushrooms
Please fuck my bitch based Sean

>Alex and self worth in the same sentence

should I email this photo and demand a refund

Also do you see bacon on this pizza because I don't

You have a child's hand

No I ordered an extra large pizza so the gigantic slices are dwarfing my otherwise gigantic, rugged and handsome hands that women swoon over

>I have an eating problem
I suggest you go on down to a wholesale store and by a shitload of gum.
Whenever I go on a cut and start to crave food I chug a bottle of water (16oz) and chew gum.

lol wow you must be fat

not me
im lean, eat what I want, whenever I want, however much I want, am never hungry and I'm still very lean and very muscular

for instance i am currently eating a double cheese (debatable) Xlarge pizza with pepperonis, Brooklyn pepperonis, ground beef, and bacon (i dont see any on it do you?)

you jelly, fatty?

Is Isle of Jura good whisky?

I can only attest to Canadian Whisky as I very rarely venture out of my specialty

Using wl shoes for first time fucked up my balance

I tip foward when going up with lowbar, but stay steady at highbar and front, also wl shoes make me go atg, tried to limit ROM and move only slightly, looked at video still atg

should I become highbar meme?

Then I'll let you know

Yee, I see now that it's like talking about you and good external rotation in the sumo deadlift (per Nov 26, 2016).

Have you tried bringing your stance out?

Who's to say how well developed your palette is?

What's considered strong on DB bench press

It's adequate.

>going wide

please now I dont want to end up with ugly ass squat beacsue MUH WEIGHT MOVED

... where does it fall short? "its adequate"

literally no description in taste or anything

makes me think you havent even begun to develop a palette

Exactly :)

Doesn't have to be super wide, just wider than usual. As soon as I brought my stance out I stopped going atg.

I only downed a tiny bottle while already a bit drunk, so that's all I can remember.

Bodyweight

Oh great, so, you're judging a whisky based on a fuckingvaguely fucking drunken fucking memory of you 'downing' a little bit? what in the fuck? you dont see a problem with that and decided to voice your opinion on it again why?

I just calculated volume on sheiko 37 vs bulgarian method.
Current 1rm: 160kg squat

Bulgarian method is 6000kg per week assuming every day is a bad day where i hit 4 heavy singles up to 97% and one backoff set of triples with 0,85*0,97*1rm.

Sheko 37 is 10 000 kg per week for the squat, average volume.

Even if the bulgarian tonnage is higher, am i cucking myself by not doing sheiko 37?

>:-(

this webm made me sad

>tfw no gf

most gym's DBs run out at 50kg or so, the lightest weight class is 59kg

me too bro

can you imagine her being ur gf and her looking at you like that, sharing memories

that hurt my heart,

Fucking Excel, yeah. Stupid VBA crap tomorrow too. Such a gigantic waste of time, heh.

My stuff is going alright, bench is good, deadlift equally shit.
I might pick up squatting again and see how long i can do it and still walk around with my knees afterwards.

University is meh, bunch of bullshit tasks to do (like designing a "game" in order to illustrate the content of a few slides in one of the courses) but its mostly OK. Looking forward to actual working though.

I can remember it being better than a shitty blend but it certainly wasn't a lagavulin, ergo it's adequate.

you drunkelnly downed a bit of it, i dont think you're able to even differentiate between the flavours in a blend so please do not begin to critize that which you do not know

lmao at you thinking you know me.

i just realized something. John cena does steroids and he is a good guy so that means I can do them too!

Today was upper body pump, feel good look in the mirror, abs and calves mock meet on Saturday day.
Listening to black label society.
Eating beef and potatoes with chile verde.
Feeling like I can hopefully manage these joint issues until my meet.

CIAO ROCCO

Brother used to work at a pizza joint. Whenever someone ordered double cheese they would just sprinkle a handful on top.

Uh no im quite literally writing back what you wrote to me

fucking pedophile

you yourself admitted to knowing jack shit about scotch though. You should have known at a glance at the bottle what I meant.

Good night tho lads.

>every day is a bad day where i hit 4 heavy singles up to 97%
Good fucking luck.
Neither of the two are wise to do all the time (tho Sheiko is probably more for longevity than Bulgarian), and each cater to different types of lifters and individual responses to stimuli. So it's hard to say now whether you're cucking yourself or not.

Bulgarian is fun (and hell) tho, and it's a cool experience. So you should really consider working up to doing daily maxing (or daily minimums) over the course of some months/better part of a year. Then when you know what it's like, you can try doing daily maxing after a volume block, and going back and forth between medium and high frequency (volume blocks and daily maxing).
Can't hurt to look for variations that might be pain-free, if your doc said you shouldn't worry about the pain.
What are you studying?

I think i'll run ~3 months of sheiko 37, that is, 3 cycles after which i test maxes after every cycle , then 1 month of bulgarian, update maxes then repeat throughout the year. Sounds like a plan?

Yeah, i will just do some squatting every now and then and see what happens.
Man, watching Duffin sumo is really like another world. This guys external hip rotation, holy shit.

I study business informatics, i have zero interest in business though and will become a developer no matter what, heh.

>sticking to nothing but comp lifts and the same structure at that, throughout the year

#buildmomentum #reactivetrainingsystems #thriveinit #takewhatsthere

I'm running SS and I can't seem to progress on squat and deadlift. My current lifts are -
Bench: 113.5KG
Squat: 125KG (but this is starting to decrease)
Deadlift: 162 KG
(All are 3X5)
I weigh 88KG, and I feel like I should be far higher on squat and deadlift, I've read a lot on the form, but neither seems right. Should I switch programs or just deload and keep trying? Thanks for any answers

What the hell do you mean?

off day

man again there's like this one stubborn turd that refuses to fall out and I just waste an extra 5-10 minutes on the toilet trying to shit it out until my balls hurt too much and I give up

iktf i never know what to do

shave your asshole to saveyourself trouble from all the eating you have to do t.evilj

what

Not a powerlifter but I just did my max on DL at 3pl8 and got mired at by the gym staff qt

>3pl8 DL
>mired
Pretty sure they were laughing at you. Congrats on the PR though.

Thanks.
Def didn't more because of the weight but she gets flustered whenever I talk to her (since she doles out protein gumbo and ab rollers) I should ask for her number next time I see her out the gym

YOU
YES YOU
COME ON

wtf is happening on this youtube channel and holy shit his knees

mirin weighted kneeclaps

Is it even worth lifting, Veeky Forums?

Short background:
>two years ago
>strong enough to deadlift 225kg for reps, squat 185kg, bench 136kg, overhead press 86kg
>get injured badly
>lifts slowly go down

Fast forward:
>now deadlift 165kg for reps, can ONLY front squat (barely) 65kg, and can only bench dumbbells now 34kg each

Veeky Forums, what the fuck is the point? Seriously, I thought I was going to make a comeback with muscle memory gains and get stronger and leaner and I was confident. I just got back from a solid gym session and POP, suddenly my fucking shoulder just hurts out of nowhere, and it hurts BAD. Not like a dull ache, but like there's a legit problem.

I've been strong, it was fun and good, but is it even worth it? It didn't help me get laid, and after chasing numbers I was bulking too hard and it made me gain too much fat. I've been cutting down now but all I see is injury. What's the fucking point? I'm considering just dropping lifting altogether and starting distance running or something to be fit.

And before anyone says it;
YES, I have checked my form, I've been lifting for years. YES I've been to a doctor multiple times. YES, I've done ibuprofen, used ice etc. YES, I've been to physical therapy. YES, I've foam rolled. My only option I guess is just fucking surgery. But why the hell do we even do this? Just to suffer? By the time I'm 60 I won't be able to fucking move.

Anyone else in this situation?

...

>It didn't help me get laid, and after chasing numbers I was bulking too hard and it made me gain too much fat.
Well you did everything in your power to cause lifting to make you miserable. Like hoping it will get you laid, and eating too much to make gains because you're impatient.
You're clearly a GDE in the resistance to injury department so you should just get lean and learn which movements your body can handle you progressively overloading so you can still make gains safely.

Also remember it's just a hobby and don't take it so seriously. Are you lacking in other areas of your life and that's why you treat lifting like it's the be all end all? Maybe take a step back and try to expand your horizons

>when all you want to be is sam hyde

I mean in the last two years my attitude towards training has changed. I want to be more health oriented and just be fit, I've been strong and it's not worth it.

And yeah, there is probably something lacking in my life

>what are you nerds training today

I did 5x5 squats at 435 lbs, 5x5 paused bench at 235 lbs, 3x3 speed deadlifts at 315 lbs, and started doing some dips on the tail end of volume day in a no doubt futile attempt to unlol my bench press. 5x8 dips for a fat guy may have been a bit ambitious. Next week I might give 5x5 with some added weight (not much) a shot.

>attempt to unlol my bench press
have you considered quadrupling your weekly volume?

...

I was weighing that option, but you didn't get quints.

Also, spastic work schedule makes it difficult to be in the gym often enough for that AND still be able to recover and shit for Volume Day. I suppose I could do some more shit on Saturday, and still be ready for Monday, but that's about it.
