/plg/ - powerlifting general

Good if you're weak at the bottom ;)

u-um what is that supposed to mean??? O.o

an unverified anonymous source says that if you drop your steam or discord you just might

Don't to it for squat, it sucks

Means you have trouble getting the bar off your chest, retard.

Yeah really? Looks kinda low volume desu. I need a lot of volume for squats.

Be nice cunt, he doesn't know the technical parts of lifting yet.

How does it help in anyway with that
once you get to 50kg dumbbells they're too fucking huge and cut the rom on their own

Do neutral grip then.

>once you get to 50kg dumbbells they're too fucking huge

manlet spotted

I miss Norsefat.

Every year I come to these threads to check if you faggots are still here.
Yep, still are.

Reminder that everyone should quit pl

I Hate all of you

Norsie is barely in the sekrit treehouse too :(

>Quitting the sport I love more than anything else I've encountered in my 21 years of life
No thanks

>he's never actually been in love

I meant sports/hobbies, not people

Have you tried rock collecting?

i know this feel

THEY'RE NOT ROCKS, THEY'RE MINERALS MARIE

That's because powerlifting is the perfect hobby for autists.

>Now gtfo and quit powerlifting
This is the best advice I've seen in this general for a long time.

Fix your shitty life and quit pretending you're a powerlifter because you shitpost here 24/7 and run powerlifting programs.

Isley is one of the few people here that works hard consistently, makes steady progress, sets personal bests, competes in Powerlifting Meets, and somehow occasionally has sex.

Reevaluate your lives.

How often are your backs sore after DLs?

I was once and got hurt. Never again making that mistake.

haha, okay raffy

Sparrow we know it's you

i hate how retarded people who lift look when they stand around and shit

Pot, meet kettle.

if u aint using rpe are you really even training?

something something until my gym partner told me what felt @8 was actually @4 and I added 60kg to my bench

literally who ?

>not filming your sets to help you rate rpe. it's almost like bar speed and form matters

something something I dont have time for that I rest 20 seconds between sets

How much do I have to bench to become /plg/.

>resting 20 seconds in between working sets

meant for

Just a twink shit that is stronger than you

>if u aint using rpe are you really even training?
I try not to use hurt feelings as a variable in my training.

It has its place though. It's great for when Aunt Flo visits at that time of the month, and your feelings are really sensitive, so you take some weight off the bar.

We have enough of those
post your lifts and your face with a time stamp so I can laugh twice in a row

haha, okay raffy

Livia.....?.....

;3

>not a brazilian IP
Fuck off you son of a bitch imposter

> raffy
I prefer not to be associated with that dirty little shithole lying faggot.

That little queer has some serious screws loose if he thinks that he is qualified to hand out lifting advice.

It's even more embarrassing to see how many people around here support child molesting queers. Raise your expectations.

That's why you film yourself when at and approaching your top sets, so you can be objective with yourself even when you feel like shit, and can add weight to the bar for the day when you're doing better than usual.

Don't think of RPE as a way to take weight off the bar, think of it as a way to add 5lbs to the bar.

Instead of hogging a rack while you film your ass, why not just keep your training max consistent, and increase it in regular intervals.

Then on good days, autoregulate with rep maxes or Joker sets.

Eli.inates the problem of sub 4plate deadlifters trying to guess their effort.

but you can use it to take weight off the bar lmao

Filming yourself takes an extra 30 seconds, deciding whether you should add or remove weight for the bar can be done while you rest. Sub 4pl8 deadlifters shouldn't be doing anything besides linear progression anyways. Moving more weight feels better for a powerlifter than doing more reps anyways :^)

When you're objective with yourself that happens less often than you may think.

don’t bother with him he’ll shill rpe all night just ignore him

You should do whatever is working for you. Using RPE is not an excuse to not try hard, and no matter who you are, you are probably using RPE in some way.

Pressed 6kg over my 1RM for a heavy 5 today

Fear me

nah

I got road burn and its gone all icky and infected looking.

What do

Had shit like that once from diving to make a play in a (almost) beer league softball game. Lifted despite it, took months to get the stink out of my knee sleeves once it healed.

what can i do to stay sane while recovering from labrum repair surgery? anyone been through this?

watch anime desu

I will literally never love anything ever again

in terms of fitness :((
i need some form of gains

Cringed hard

You're probably an unloveable wretch.

you're probably projecting. which is sad :(

Hey that spic guy at crunch fitness? Did you RECOGNIZE ME from plg ass hole?

yeah I did

now you better not show up there again or I will FUCK you up

Rly thats u panzer? Lol youre a dyel spic who uses MACHINES???? LOL!

I considered saying I was going to bring a gun to the gym tomorrow but that's probably a bit too far for shitposting even on here

anyways no thats not really me, cant tell if you are being sarcastic so I'd figure I'd clarify

thoughts?

The Nike people put too much makeup on her and airbrushed the shot too much

deadlift every day user
my back pretty much never gets sore

Program my Squat / Leg Day Today, /PLG/. I went heavy earlier in the week for 3x5 @ 165kg, but thinking of going a bit lower today and getting in more volume.
Squat max is ~200kg, deadlift max is 210kg.

your waifu is a brony. whatcha u gunna do

idk when someone was going to tell her that those were ponies on the wrist wraps she got as a gift and not unicorns

she was kinda making a fool out of herself and I felt unironically embarrassed for her lol

hows squatting going panzie. when are you going to start using knee wraps for classics like a real athlete

fine

I'm being tortured by my programming forcing me to stay at 75% for 5x4

I want to try out a new max cause my OHP increased dramatically from what I can tell from todays heavy 5

but I do understand its completely pointless right now and wont help me at all

I also considered getting wraps but I heard they are a FUCKING pain to use and come loose easy

get training wraps, theyre much easier to take off. its all about getting use to them buddy

>Never again making that mistake.
lol yes you will

wait how important are wraps for training

not very if your doing raw PL. for WL, if you fail at the bottom of the snatch or clean and jerk it is immensely useful

Not him, but should I use them if I'm getting joint pain in my knees? It's only minor, but I'd rather not let it get more than minor.

I got a powerlifting meet on this Saturday. Ima fuckin win.

>should I use something that emphasizes/overloads knee usage for knee pain.
uhhh no

Why should I quit powerlifting?

gl user

you should be happy she doesnt know what mlp is

What a skank

someone please up the rest of sheiko by kizen

is the competition one or the offseason

>'medial' delts
REEEE

Your form must have been all kinds of shit for that to be possible.

Run? Idk.

>tfw i'm 10 kg away from doing 4pl8 as my 75-80% working set.
Just 2 more memeburn cycles.
