What are the easiest lifts to cheat at to impress normies

Impressing normies makes you a normi.

>>35140282
Any lift where you can use those extra large looking bumpers. Everything is a 45

>>35140282
fuck you loser don't lift to impress others you'll get yourself injured this way
trust me i was an ego lifter myself

Deadlift. Most people don't realize how fast progress is on them; they'd think you're an absolute madman for lifting lmao2pl8.

>>35140282
leg press

>>35140282
you could be like this guy squatting 110kg kek

lots of bumper plates make you look strong

>>35140366
Can confirm. Went from lmao no plates to lmao2plate from 6 sets of deadlifts.

Put a bunch of those 10-25lbs bumper plates on the bar with a 45 on the outside and deadlift it.

>>35140408

even normies know leg press is a meme

>>35140282

It looks like a normal squat to me or is there something I am missing?

>>35141236
Same, I'm confused. Are his legs to wide apart?

>>35141256
It's not A T G or "ass to grass" as normies. Any Squat not isn't highbar, as low as physiologically possible for a yogi, and doesn't put massive amounts of shearing force on the knees is not a real Squat.

>>35141305
I have no meniscus in my left knee.
Doing squats like this is so painful but also very dangerous.

Anything with crossfit plates, I mean look at the size of that thing, and it's only 10 lbs

>>35140282
T-bar rows. Looks like a ton of weight, you can cheat the shit out of them.

>>35140282
Dumbbell rows. Looks fucking alpha and lets you use some of the highest weight for a DB exercise. Easy to cheat with bad form by rotating your hips.

>>35141033
I can't even comprehend how weak you would have to be to struggle with the bar. I'm pretty sure you would stop being able to carry your bodyweight with your legs before that.

>>35141437
Surely that's 10kg

>>35141644
the thing on the end is 10lbs. then 25 it looks like, then 35 or 45

>>35140366

I can deadlift 2pl8 but only for four reps. I know I can make the last rep because immediately after I put on another ten kilos for a new 1RM. It's just that I can't hold the bar for more than four reps.

>>35141437

We have these in our gym. They're for dropping the weights without ruining the floor. It's not like anyone thinks they're any heavier than they are when DYELs walk around with one in each arm.

>>35141437
>>35141644
>>35141665
Those are pound plates but it's worth having 10lb bumpers so weak people can get used to pulling the bar at the competition height early on, m8.

>>35141686
There's bumper plates and bumper plates m8, and those ones are definitely of the crossfit variety

>>35141728

Yeah except that my quads are underdeveloped

Lots of dyels ITT. OPs squat is fine, its low enough.

>le hurr hurr ateegee Highbar mlady, tips fedora

>>35141739
Because you had a huge sit-back, not because you used low-bar.

>>35141739
Its underdeveloped because you still lift light weights. I bet you dont even squat 3 plates for reps

>>35141776

No I don't, because I'm not progressing. I'm stalling on around 85-90kg 5RM. Switching to high bar again to see if I can make some progress and/or change up my form.

>>35141802
Low-bar/high-bar is not your problem at less than 2pl8 m8, post a formcheck to /plg/ sometime and the lads will sort you out.

>>35141802

BW @ 75kg btw

>>35141844
Yeah it's probably form too. I mean my bench 5RM is only 20kg lighter than my squat. Which seems wrong.

Watch this. Watch the whole thing, yes all 30 minutes of it. Stop it from time to time to practice what he's talking about. After the next time you squat, watch it again to see what you got right and what didn't quite click that you need to work on.

Also remember, you squat between your legs, which is not the same as just sticking your ass back.

>>35141305
Agreed. Made the switch to ATG in August. I just notice so much more benefit in daily sport then when I did low bar. Sprints, jumping, explosiveness. It has all improved just from ATG

>>35140282
Also pause squats at the bottom position is really fucking funny if people have never seen a proper ATG. So this one might answer OP's question. Did 275 lbs for a 3 second pause, which isn't that difficult for me anymore, some bro thought I was stuck. I just shot right back up. I've had people actually try and tell me what I'm doing is bad for my knees and lower back... even though my mobility is really good. The only thing I really tell them is "look up how Olympic Weightlifters squat". Usually works pretty well.

My gym is pretty bro tier so I don't fault them for their broscience. But no doubt in my mind, I've seen people use our ONE and ONLY power rack for assisted deadlifts, OHP, and yes... bicep curls, more than for squats.

>>35141114
Not sure about 20kg, but post anorexia a 28kg kettle bell deadlift was my 1RM

Chalk is for when the bar is literally tearing bleeding wounds into your skin to the from sliding on it. This starts happening around 300KG. The guy you responded to simply hasn't got a strong enough grip and needs to do train that. For example by doing DLs with a raised bar and 20% more weight than your PB

Yoga, all of it.

By doing a proper A T G squat I guarantee I have more flexibility than any stupid whore or poo in the loo faggot.

>>35149483
Chalk is for when you're sweaty, shithead.

Chalk is simply for grip. I can hit my deadlift max with no chalk, but i'll need it for 70kg snatches and sometimes for any clean work over 90kg, eapecially if im sweating.

1.That only happens with low weights, when you start lifting heavier water can't get into the contact path from the pressure. If you spray your car with a water hose there will still be dry patches where the wheels were.
2. You should still be able to literally dip your hands in oil and lift 80% of your PB. Because guess what? You're GRIPPING the bar. It won't magically go through your fingers. If you can't do this it's because your grip is too weak and your hands are opening
>>35149599
We were talking about DLs. Snatch is a different story. Although needing chalk already for 70kg is pathetic and again is simply because you have a weak grip.

>>35149776
I can feel it happening and I can smell snap city coming

>>35140366
Yesterday I was at my uni gym with my gym bro (we usually lift at my home gym). We were doing diddly's in the power cage (fuck you, everyone else at my uni does it and there aren't any extra barbells. Enough just for each bench and power cage). Everyone around was doing abiut 1pl8 deads, the guy next to us was slamming 2pl8's as if he was tough shit lel
I decided to work up from 1pl8, 2pl8 and then 3pl8 for sets of 5. About ~5 or 7 people literally stopped their work out to just watch me. I worked up to 4pl8's for 2.

I also squatted 3pl8 for sets of 5 and ohp 1 for 3x5 and everyone acted as if they've never seen anyone pushing this weight around. I barely go to my uni gym but people mire. If people squat they have running shoes, never go parallel and have shit bar position, bad form for almost every exercise.

Literally hit 1/2/3/4 at the gym and normie's will be baffled

>>35149483
>Chalk is for when the bar is literally tearing bleeding wounds into your skin to the from sliding on it. This starts happening around 300KG

For me, this starts at 160kg.

Anything can cause a painful callus on my hands. I've had bleeding, ripped hands from throwing has with a pitch fork for 6 hours.
I've ripped up my hands with a shovel, 40 minutes in.

I've had ripped up calluses on my fingers from doing less than 50 pull ups during a morning workout.


Some people actually have morning baby-hands all day.

>>35149823
That being(I don't know what I perceive as a being identifies as) uses some sort of TRIGGERWARNING "white" powdery substance on its hands.

>>35149855

We sometimes have to compete in the rain.

Everyone fucking hates it, because it destroys your grip ability.

>>35148229
At the same weights? I should rather hope so.

>>35149869
That kinda sucks, if you hands are like that mate. Although how close is 160 to your max? If it's close it can still be because you grip is giving up causing the bar to move more. Can you lift 130 without ripping at all?

>>35149877
see >>35149483

>>35149885
Yes, and even when covered in rain you can easily pick up 100kg in each hand and do farmers walk. While this weak retard >>35149599 thinks you need chalk just to snatch 70

>>35149245
Of all the fucking retarded things /fit/ tries to meme, giving up some of the most important gains you can get at the gym to work on your grip is probably the most autistic.

There are people in this thread who legitimately think chalk is a crutch. Holy fuck.

And I guess straps have absolutely no place in training too, right?

>>35149957
Depends on if you want actually get strong or just get bigger numbers you can post on 4chan

>>35150010
yeah if you want to actually get stronger you use straps when you need to

>>35149938

>>35150050

>>35150050

>>35150027

Pretty much this.

Straps are a tool. If you need them for some reason, use them. But consider why you need them and if its masking an issue rather than helping you overall.

>>35150364
If you oil it, bet your ass it will. Are you not familiar with the purpose of providing lubricant to mechanical systems? 100kg isn't even all that heavy on handles, and handles don't roll like a barbell does.

>>35150377
>bet your ass it will [magically go through your fingers]
You literally just said that. Think about that.
>100kg isn't even all that heavy on handles,
That's the point retard. And still this weak retard >>35149599 thinks you need chalk just to snatch 70
>providing lubricant to mechanical systems
A piston will stay perfectly withing the cylinder (grip) no matter how much you lube it retard. in a DL the only force is straight down against your fingers

>>35150364

Strongmen can do farmers in the rain, but they're going to lose a big chunk off their max because of it.

>tfw almost everyone on /fit/ is retarded
This is why you shouldn't listen to /fit/ for 90% of things.

>>35150448
That's the point retard. They can still lift your entire DL in ONE hand soaked in rain and you think you "need" chalk.
No, you have a underdeveloped grip and that's it.

You have underdeveloped intelligence and that's it.

>>35150511

If they could lift my DL in each hand and move with it, they'd hold a god damn farmers world record.

>>35150531
But this wasn't about strongest man in the world against you. This was about faggots thinking you "need" chalk for low weights. About faggots who don't realize that when your DL is hanging off your fingers instead of being firmly gripped, your grip strength is the problem. Not friction
This is apparent to anyone with average reading comprehension.

>>35150601

You need chalk when your grip runs out, for whatever reason, that's all there is too it. Stop being a fucking autist.

>>35150601
What. Is. Your. Deadlift.

>>35150647
No you don't "need" it because at the weights we're talking it's better to just train your grip instead. This makes you better trained all around and benefits you in pretty much every exercise and real life. The only reason your wouldn't is because you care more about numbers than actual training
You don't need to put your knees down to do 100 pushups, you just need stronger pecs.

Sure, but you won't get stronger as fast as without, unless you're already way past 200kg. You can keep doing pushups on your knees and crosfit pullups and get stronger too.

>>35150793
Me too. Although it depends. People who don't work out at all don't really have a concept of 100 vs 200 vs 300KG, more than "wow that's really heavy". The guys going once now and again and still DLing 80 is gonna thing you're bullshiting

>>35150793
Lol, I do this too. My friend asked how much I could bench and didn't believe me when I said 265 lbs. To normies anything above 200 lbs is roid territory.

Do you/anyone know if this the case in the US too? Where you got sports and school so interconnected. I know 265 is definitely not freakish even for highschoolers in american football.
