Anyone with tips on collapsing ankles during squats ? Usually doesn't start to be an issue before 5+ plates
I've got a similar issue when running and my only insight would be to either get orthopedic insoles or squat shoes for ankle support.
just tried this out on myself, kind of relaxing
...
My hookgrip is starting to slip, I thought that everyone meme'd me into believing you can hold any weight without it failing. I don't like pulling mixed so I'll probably get straps anyway for pulls and other back work.
Which straps to buy in UK?
Hookgrip doesn't magically eliminate all grip issues, just makes it easier to hold heavier weights. Honestly whatever straps are probably fine unless you're pulling like 700+.

>has anyone got links to or a copy of PPST? i specifically would like the third edition, i have the others
dropcanvas.com
>TM is fun and works well if you're not a total GDE and you add some triceps work
all the 4-day split versions add triceps work on the pressing days. there are multiple versions in PPST3RD which bench heavy twice a week, as well. look in the dropcanvas link posted above for the book
he means foot arch flattening out (weight distribution shifting more to the inside)
c'mon norsie you've been here for years, surely this isn't new to you
The weight shifts to the inside of the back of my feet, causing me to shift slightly forward to correct.. Since noticing the issue I've been making sure to "screw my feet into the ground", but I'm stil early in my training cycle working in 10's and 8's, so I'm not sure the problem has been fixed..
All the straps I've gotten off eBay have been absolutely excellent. Stay away from Ironmind straps, expensive and feel like a cheese wire.
Had my gym bag taken out of my car with all my lifting stuff in it haha I love life haha
sucks
you were unironically robbed?
I told someone here to just take someone else's belt from the gym
He uh, he probably goes to your gym
More of a burglary.
i fear benchie is now going to take his anger out on the inmates
poor lads
Of all the shit to steal what asshole wants somebody's sweaty gym gear?
I mean it's alot of money desu.
2 pairs of shoes, knee sleeves, belt (that I've had for fucking 4 years), wrist wraps, and some bands.
Honestly they prob just saw a bag and grabbed it and didn't open it until later.
100 dollars of belt
100 dollars of shoes
100 dollars of wraps and sleeves
possibilities of hidden extras
easy carry case for discrete getaway
probably a stalker who wanted to asphyxiate himself with joes smelly kneesleves
why didnt you lock your car
youre hookgripping wrong, a proper hookgrip literally cant slip
You shouldn't have relaxed around blacks
yeah im sure someone is going to buy used shoes, belt and straps lmao
or wait do you live in a rough neighboorhood
When you set up stand like you are bow legged. Point your toes out a bit exaggerated and make sure your knees track to the outside. Soon as I started these queues i instantly lifted more weight.
WHY WONT U LOVE ME LIVIA
I LOVE YOU

Why are powerlifters so fat and ugly?
squats make you fat
no just in eastern europe
s-sorry we are a few years behind trends
>possibilities of hidden extras
My class ring on a necklace that amber had left in there from lifting one day
I grew up in a peaceful village where nobody locked their doors.
Now my area is being invaded by heroin

AAAAH, LOOK AT THAT DOGGO
What does GDE mean
german dysentery effect
>rent gym in another area to reach clientele for Open Tennis Team I do S&C for
>minimum wage gym employees project their insecurities on me
how can you not look like you lift, have no clients that lift respectfully or look good, have no heavy lifts to your name and then call yourself a personal trainer?
It's so funny to me, how bad they are. Don't they feel the need to improve themselves?
Just had my first meet today lads, had such a great time. Ty Isley for spotting me too xoxo
Should never have tried burglarian method
kek
you perfectly described this PT at my small gym. He keeps getting clients and they all barely get results it baffles me that people pay him moneu
He even tells them that they need supplements and lets them buy it through them lmao. Basicly a scamartist
is this what people mean by rock collecting?
How do I fix knee cave on deadlift?
Shit only happens when it gets heavy and it's annoying to look at
wut how does your knee cave what do you mean
Learn to use your glutes. Cue knees out and lower the weight until you stop fucking up.
Is your squat terrible, by chance?
On the Gnuckols 28 free programs, bench 3 day intermediate, it has the AMRAP set out so that
Anyone here dealt with patellar tendinitis before? It doesn't bother me at all during my lifting sessions, but after standing for hours at work it really gets to me.
Its literally nothing. Use your head, and raise weight accordingly, autist
P-pls no bully
how sedentary are you my man
Not very, I spend most of my day on my feet except on my off day.
that's all of the industry
>semi private training
group training with a different title
>no programs
>no barbells
>the trainer has no goals
>all machines
>the only progress the client makes is from diet
the reason most people stick with it and think the trainer is good is because of noob gains
if you make anyone, do anything, from inactivity they will lose fat and gain muscle.
push your knees out
if you are a conventional puller try doing sumo as an accessory
it's glute max and medius weakness
take my advice and do not let it happen, you will get SI pain in no time
80% should be your 8 RM approximately. If you get 9+ reps, up your max. You won't be getting 11+ unless you start with a max that's way too low.
That is a very cute doggo.
let me give more detail
push knees against arms in conventional for a cue
when I decend into starting position I push my knees out
I also root and feel the outside of my foot
if those three things do not fix it, you need to strengthen your glutes, specifically glute med
Have you been doing this very recently?
>you will get SI pain in no time
You are a little twink
instagram.com
knee cave and no pain.
wouldnt knee cave just mean that your stance is too wide
Not for isley. He could be bow legged and his knees will still cave
lads, I'll have to study days and nights for an exam on Tuesday and I probably won't be able to hit the gym on Monday
hold me brehs
wat was isleys total before he got fat
>Lost 4 pounds overnight in march
>Have made nogains since, just trying to get back to where I was
Does muscle memory apply to strength?
Knees come inwards trying to touch eachother
B-but lowering the weight so sucks
Also cueing knees out has literally never done anything for either my squat or deadlift in terms of valgus knee
But yeah my squat does absolutely suck comparatively to my deadlift, I tore my the labrum in my hip and right now my squat is more than 100kg below my deadlift, so I'm slowly getting back into squatting properly again, but even at my best, my squat was still 50kg below my deadlift
I definitely think it may be glute med
Cause I can Barbell Hip Thrust 300kg for paused reps, so I doubt it's glute max
How should I strengthen my med?
I've been doing Lying hip abductions for a while now because my PT gave it to me as one of the exercises to rehab my torn labrum
Is he rly natty?
yeah it does dude, just maintain your weight for a while you'll get your strength back
this ones for izlee
I laughed so hard at this
How about we just start calling it snatch grip bench press and get on with our lives?
617.5kg
No
topkek desu
Hey /plg/ I noticed on some heavy deadlifts my hips would sway a bit to the side during the first half of the pull.
What kind of imbalance does this point to? How to fix?
Do the officials at meets actually check your belt to make sure it's IPF approved? Just found out mine isn't on the list, and the ones that are on the list all have stupid goddamn logos on them.
Isley is honestly a walking meme
Are there any more funny Isley pictures btw?
yes
can you post?
i don't have them
...

izlee
Someone post the "peak performance one"

Nigga looks like he smoked too much weed
I hate isley almost as much as much as I hate myself
Hahahaha
Why do you make that face?
Also you look so english, you people all that look and face
>80%
>8rm
Whaat? Do you mean as far as the programme is concerned, or universally?
Because shit, I am glad when I can rep that for 6.
it's a general thing, 80% should be like an 8rm +- a rep
pretty accurate in my experience except for deadlift, where 80% is a 6rm for me
What chance do I have to become actual pro powerlifter if I am pretty skelly rn?
>5'10''
>147lbs
>24yo
>lifting for 6 months
I feel like that's right goal for me... Do I have real chance or should I ditch it? No meme please, serious question.
My parents got me counseling after I told them about my missing princess Livia cavalcanti
jesus fucking christ is that shooped?
There is no money in the sport, you won't be pro.
But if you can be high level I don't know, you should know that yourself based on your lifts I guess.
no
