/plg/ - powerlifting general

Yes I've alternated between them a lot with effectively zero complication

I did very recently. Slightly more quad engagement, more ankle mobility requirements. Other than that, basically no difference ime.

1 week left until I can buy my own alcohol.
I've always wanted to be a fully pledged alcoholic.

I've tried before but ankle dorsiflexion sucks. Working on it daily.

I've actually gone from flat sole deadlifting to wl shoes recently. Not really a change in the weight I can lift, was just too lazy to bring an extra pair of shoes to the gym or go barefoot.

Inderdestig...

Good to hear. I've been having problems with back squats not really hitting quads lately (partially from the heels suddenly making me pitch forward).

Deadlifting in heels feels awful for me. Dunno how you do it.

>tfw small ass but (relatively) big quads
Why God

It's not a huge difference though, only really noticeable for the first couple sessions, then you get used to it.

My recommended daily protein intake is around 200g but I usually have around 100g. Would this slow down my progress?

How would a dl like this work?

Who is this retard face?

Reposting in new thread...

Anyone here have experience lifting with Lyme?

I lifted for about three years straight before taking a break for about a year. Got back into it, working consistently for 3 months and getting back close to former stats before I got hit with Lyme and Lyme Carditis (where the bacteria makes its way to the heart and nearly kills you.)

I've been on IV antibiotics through a PICC line for the last month, and you can't do shit with a PICC line in. I even had to quit my job. Fatigue varies but physical activity is rough. I can walk about a half mile before I'm exhausted and out of breath. Also, getting up from a sitting position usually causes imtemse dizziness.

I know it's going to be a very long recovery process, so I'm just trying to gauge if anyone else has had similar experiences.

Ask a doctor friendo

I got it twice. Fucked with my knee joints and shit. Which squatting actually mended. It fucking blows but thank god i caught it early.

My friend got banned from my old gym for deadlifting barefoot. He has quite nasty athletes foot and it would leave a white substance on the floor/plates after he'd have finished.

>I need this much to progress.
>I'm only getting half.
>Will it effect progress?

Yes.

I think I'm in the same boat. I just calculated mine and it was 230 grams, but I'm totally not getting that much. Do I just eat more meat?

What's your BW and estimated bf%. I really doubt you have over 260lbs lean mass. In studies on athletes there was no recorded difference between 0.8g protein/lb lean mass and higher doses.

Wait so a 93 kg male at about 15% bf only needs 140 g per day?

so is it broscience? The anons in the last thread were talking about some 1.7g per BW in kg
0.8 protein/lb lean mass gives me half of that

what
100 kg is 220 lbs
1.7*100=170g
0.8*220=176g
You aren't a brainlet user, are you?

Okay im confused.
Yes i am. but
>0.8g protein/lb LEAN MASS
did he really mean bw?
I weigh 78kg. this calculator tells me to eat 200g of protein: bodybuilding.com/fun/calpro.htm
Then when I calculate with 0.8grams per lb of lean mass, I get around 100g of protein.
If I calculate 1.7 grams per kg of bw, I get 130grams.
??

That was me and you obviously didn't read my posts. 1.7g/kg bw is the math for someone who's like 8% bf.

Not really, 1g/lb bodyweight is a good overestimate for most people because most people count calories like shit.

>bodybuilding.com/fun/
Go nuts and eat 1.2g protein per lb bodyweight if you want to, I'm not your mother. Carbs are cheaper and leave you feeling like you have more energy though.

Is this gymnastics Manlet on the sauce?

>1.7 grams per kg of bw
It's still per LEAN kg of bw. Does it make sense for someone like B**gie who has 100g surplus fat to eat 170 g more protein? What is it going to do, get inside his fatty cells and transfor them to muscle cells?
Calculating protein intake off anything other than LEAN bodyweight is a t best a gross oversimplification and at worst straight up nonsensical and wrong
It is impossible to get two values that differ more than 5%. They are not different formulas. 1.7 is what you get when you do 0.8/0.454 and round to nearest (0.454 is lb/kg)

ok thanks for helping, I seem to be retarded

>spends his hard earned money to use machines to increase strength
KEK
>he doesn't climb mountains for legs and swing greatswords for arms, doing the plank while reading books to keep fit while recovering
Fucking mega cucks.
Plebians get out.

Of course, but benching >1.5xBW isn't really anything special for gymnastics guys.

No, 0.8 * 2.2 = 1.76g per lean kg of bw so he should be eating 1.8ish g per lean kg of bw to avoid weird rounding.

Can I record a goodlift stream via VLC?

that sounds cool

>No
>0.06g per kg difference
>5g for a normal adult male
>big enough difference to say "no"
The difference between 1.7 and 1.76 is less than 5%, just like I said in my post
Eat 500g if you want to be "safe", idgaf, you're being autistic

Might as well be accurate.

so it's better to eat too much than to eat too little. Atleast for the purpsese of pl

No, your best option is just to download the stream once it's been broadcast from the ipf youtube page

nvm I just used Quick Time player. It just works (TM).

Daily reminder to give it everything you got in the gym guys. :)

but don't hurt youselves

wow okay so I'm sitting here disposing some Norman khan like usual and wow I mean it keeps coming as I typed this just tons of Norman khan logs came spewing out like they couldnt wait to jump in the toilet to go back to their motherland India

I gotta last few days the Norman khans were acting quite stubborn indeed but not today no sir it's a full house today hahah the Norman khan is so full packed in the toilet it reminds me of when those pajeets all overcrowd into those trains they love doing KEKE

>he needs special shoes to lift in
PL meets should be exclusively barefoot and dressed in nothing but underwear of your choice.

Can I get a deadlift form check? I did 3 reps in the original video of 235 lbs. My webm cut off the last one though. I feel like I need to work on:

my head placement
over extending once I reach the top
I cannot get my lower back to stay arched when I pull.

Is the keeping an arched back going to be a problem judging from the webm? It's what I'm most concerned about.

I probably did about 30ish deadlifts at this weight recording myself trying to make corrections after each one. There are just so many cues and trying to stay tight and I still feel like my back doesn't look as good as many of the videos and pictures I've looked at online. Just want some advice though on what to improve on because my dead lift is comically weak compared to my other lifts and how long I've been lifting.

Tired. Slightly optimistic realising I've got about 6 months before I need to be in comp shape. Plenty of time to get injury free and drop some bodyfat

And then put it back down?

your back is dogshit, learn to get the pelvic tilt rocking

How do I stop being depressed?

I feel worthless and almost ready to kill myself but too beta to do it. I fail with every girl I talk to after a couple months, in school and doing nothing with my life and everything seems like a waste of time. I'm extremely lonely and just want someone who loves me.

Yea I said I knew I wasn't keeping an arch. What are the cues for it/how can I fix it? I feel like I am pushing my chest up as far as I can go. So I don't know if my hips need to be back to have my hamstrings help more or if I need to stretch hamstrings more or something?

>How do I stop being depressed?
change your fucking mindset, read what you wrote

PERSPECTIVE

Idk if you're memeing and I used to think depression was a meme and was just mindset but now I'm worried because it only seems to get worse.

How do I change my mindset by reading it and not just fake it?

can you not rock your hips?

You mean thrust my hips?

I think you probably need more flexibility for your lumber, there is a slight round it seems like, maybe even get it to the point where you can "hyper" extend it a little bit

I posted a bit above. I think it could be a hamstring flexibility issue causing this? My lower back tries to compensate for my hamstrings?

at 28 seconds is where your at, 33 is where you want to be

youtube.com/watch?v=IVTaMlriSBw

Ah okay. Makes more sense now. I'll add this to warm-up/stretches to do as well then. Thanks.

Ok so wondering if you guys can help me find out what's weak in a certain lift.

I did snatch grip SLDLs from a deficit and my hips are slightly above my shoulders/in line. I fail the lift about halfway up when my torso is a little more than 90 degrees from the floor but the start is easy. Am I right in thinking that my lower back would be the weak point here?

No. DO NOT try to get into an arched position. You need to be in a neutral spine position NOT an extended position.

Stay in a neutral position with hips and ribcage aligned, arching your back will put you into an 'open scissor' position

instagram.com/p/BXN8iVkH7ho/

Holy fuck oly is fun. How would you guys program it if I wanted to train oly (beginner) and gain upper body mass?

Okay so not arched. But you do agree that my lower back is a bit rounded and needs to be fixed on the initial pull yes?

your lowerback is rounding before you even pull

stretch so you can get into position with a straight or slightly hyper extended back

Learn to set up with a hip hinge keeping your whole torso moving as a solid unit (like an action figure, where it's only articulated at the hips, knee etc, spine can't possibly bend) you'll solve it immediately. Majority of that looking like a bad position once the pull starts is your t shirt bunching up

I don't fucking care what some ebin man with a medical degree says

The #1 cause for depression is stagnation. You need to start trying and doing new things. You really gotta break out your comfort zone. I've seen this with friends and acquaintances time and time again.

I know this is really fucking hard, since depression saps you of willpower, but so is lifting weights. Trust this stranger on the internet, that only you have the power to break out of it.

Not a mobility issue. It's a load order error in the setup.

Try this way of setting up and you'll be fine
youtu.be/fc4_hq7tjkU

good stuff. So I keep trying to push my chest up when setting up. Is it okay for shoulders to roll back then? I know some people say try to pinch with your shoulder blades. I've heard others say pinching shouldn't be the right cue though?

Don't pinch your shoulder blades on the deadlift. Pulling them down is good though, tightens the lats.

Down as in like I'm flexing lats or down like I'm "pushing" the bar away right?

Down as in hold your arms straight out in front of you, now lower them as much as possible while still pointed forward. This type. For the deadlift you're pulling the bar into you

Ah okay perfect example. Last question I have is I seem to only get my glutes involved when I hip thrust and lock the bar out. Should my glute be clenched the whole lift? I naturally wanna point my toes out a lot if I do it that way.

Something weird is happening and I am worried

Might want to get a smarter opinion than mine here, as I admit some lack of knowledge. Yes, you want the glutes to be activated the whole lift but you gotta remember that flexed glutes at the bottom isn't like flexed glutes at the top. Compare a full bicep flex and a flex with the arm stretched out. I think you should be fine if you create hip tension and drive your hips forward

Feeling a little nervous about today's lift. End of my cycle and I need to pull a new 1rm. I have failed twice already and it's very mentally demotivating.

100% this. when youre not happy with your current situation, the only option is to start changing variables. change what youre studying, change jobs, move far away. you cant be afraid of losing security because that comfort is whats holding you back

This pain never goes away. But part of becoming a man is accepting what you can't change and changing what you can change.

I feel similar but its not worth going into a lot of description over plg.

The best thing that helped me was bullying my friends into going out more, and reconnecting with old friends.
Just offer to buy them a drink and they'll come lel

Best case scenario. Move away.
But that's very very difficult.

I'm not happy with the size of my gloots what should I change?

I'm thinking of moving far far away where everyone has a flat ass and mine looks amazing in comparison

I can do 20 reps with 60, 12 reps with 70 but only 5 reps with 80

Why? I should be able to do 10 reps with 80 because I can do 100

sorry didn't look like a squat to me

A train coming from San Diego is traveling eastwards at a rate of 65mph while a train from Chicago is traveling westwards at 55mph, if both trains departed at 3:45am, what time is lunch?

Lunch is from 12am til 1pm

I'm training squats/push/pull one day and snatch/clean/push/pull the next, ABx

It's working pretty well

Who cares. He's a gymnastics manlet

Bulgarian method

80% is not a 10 rm, it's an 8 rm. Did you do this all in one session or? If you're not fatigue free enough, it's unlikely to get all 8 reps.

I'll try 8 reps and if I don't get them what do I do

what the fuck are you even doing, what routine is this? Why are you so obsessed with getting 80 for 10 reps?

thanks a lot it helped a little and I think you're right, it's stagnation. My life has been the same for over a year with no change at all.

Nothing, some people are better at reps than others.

But I'm bad at maxing too

Its a routine I paid for from vega gains
