I think it's unfair to limit this to exclusively girls. There are for sure some bros who buy into crossfit/powerlifting to pick up chicks.

The BCPA has some very talented female lifters, and I'm sure every fed does too. But yeah, I agree, to an extent, the instagramism is pretty brutal sometimes. Just be careful not to count out females in the sport because of your jaded opinion on just a few.


>>36513547

First thing I would look at is my setup.

If you're solid there, I'd add paused deads to drill both of those problems. Deficit deads could work too.

I've finally fixed my setup to the point where the bar path is straight up but I am looking into that now. Another anon posted about using my lats. Any good mental queues for doing so?

>>36513685

>Speaking of, you need to get your ass in gear. I'm still rooting for you in our race

I had a mediocre day today, but I expected it to be tough with no rest day between deads and squats. Squats are still climbing tho

>>36513685
Luigi has the ugliest pull in the industry imo

>>36513705

Agreed, I brought this up in a PLG earlier this week but nobody really responded. He is strong yes but pulls like an absolute retard. Tee Cummins also has an annoying deadlift to watch.

Wish I could get as strong as either of them pulling like an idiot.

>>36513822
I know it's awful, I'm just wondering if anybody on plg does it

How do you pull conventional without eventually snapping your shit?

e.g.:

get stronger, need to go up in weight, go up in weight, snap shit.

It just seems to me that form goes so quickly when youre tired im not sure exactly how to overload without form breakdown

>>36513822
what about it is horrible?

>>36513847
or you could keep form by getting stronger

>>36513801

Did paused squats today for the first time in my programming.

Too much fuckin fun, they are a blast

>>36513847
In an ideal world you would never do a rep with severe form breakdown unless it was a third attempt in a meet. You can get stronger without testing your max for a very long period of time. Honestly you could probably do it indefinitely.

>>36513858

War thunder. It's but planes and tanks both in the game separate and also together. Also uses realistic damage models based on actually hitting things in the tank instead of health bars.

>>36513866
i want to throw them in post comp but idk where.

>>36513846
I don't think anybody here would benefit from that technique, it requires a bendaroo bar to keep from exploding all the disks in your back at once and severing both biceps

>>36513869
David Troutt has magically never torn his bicep

Although bicep tears are usually a result of performing the lift with your underhand bicep slightly flexed, and by yanking the absolute fuck out of the bar, your arms straighten relatively quickly.

>>36513868
So if you are doing a 1 x 5 TM type thign for diddly once per week, what would be the best way to modify this so you arent reachin form breakdown for your 1 x 5s?

Just some more volume at lighter weight on day 1?

>>36513820
Ugh I see that shit from the lilliebridges ALL THE TIME

>>36513784
Totally agree. Cummins doesn't bother me as much

i thought spoto press only really helped with stability and was for people who had poor control near the chest.
>>36513981
looking for a bench variation, not an accessory.

also i bench max width grip if that makes a difference.

>>36513910
It's very hard. That's one of the main reasons I personally stopped doing Texas Method. Ideally you should shoot for a number on ID that will let you get 5 clean reps. Not perfect, but not complete breakdown to the point where you are severely rounded.

A bit of form breakdown at some point is pretty well inevitable on a program with weekly maxing. What you could do is instead of doing 1x5, you could use the same weight or slightly less to do 2x3, and increase it that way. You are still getting the work in by doing that, but you aren't compromising yourself as much. As long as the weight is going up each week you are making progress.

For VD I liked to do some lighter deadlifts, or another deadlift variation. Romanian deadlifts are great because they can teach hip hinge. It all depends what you can recover from. If you keep the percentage of your max low enough on VD, your ID shouldn't suffer. Just remember that Texas Method is a template. You can play with the sets x reps as long as you follow the guidelines.

>>36513921
>>36513921
Do you follow Tee on instagram? He comes across really arrogant sometimes. Also it seems like all he does is max out all the time. He will yank his planned "opener" and it will be an absolute grinder. Strong dude for sure, but if he would stop yanking the bar before he actually pulls, which literally has no purpose aside from wasting energy, I'm sure he could become even better at deadlifting.


For those who don't know who I'm talking about:

Hm, alright thank you friend.

I'll probably shoot for doing something like 1x5, 2x3, 2x2, 1x3 progression on ID all the while doing some lighter weight variation (maybe SLDLs or something) on VD.

>current year
>not demonstrating your dominance over the weight before lifting it

larsen presses are good for power off the chest, as well as stability

>>36514035
I do. I keep it muted so I don't run the risk of getting annoyed

>>36513987
Spoto press is a ton of tut so it'll pack on mass

>>36514020
Did 5x8@245 Spoto today. Definitely getting stronger on Spoto

>>36514035
he posted on IG a couple hours ago pulling 650x4 but with completely different form

>>36514092
Yes I saw that, he said in the description that the gym staff told him to be quiet so I am going to assume for now that the only reason he isn't yanking is because of that.

He has some stuff of him pulling sumo where he doesn't yank the bar or anything. It's obvious he can do it without yanking, just not sure why he hasn't eliminated it yet at the elite level.

Doing OHP today my left trap seized up, not up by the neck but more on the back. It didn't hurt very bad it was more of just an extreme tightness.

I stopped my workout as I did not want to injure myself, but reflecting on what it might have been i realized my grip might have been too wide.

Has anyone experienced something similar with too wide of a grip?
How long should I wait to OHP again?

I assume he does it lightheartedly, just trying to drum up some interest, but he got BTFO when he ran his mouth about Hall, BTFO when he ran his mouth about Savatinov, and now he's running his mouth about Shaw. Maybe he should put more effort into training than social media.

kelly starrett has a test for hip flexibility on atg

Today a family came into the gym to work out together with their thirteen year old, and he came up and asked to work in with me on legcurls.

I was just finishing up so I told him he could have it. Even adjusted it for his height.

His parents were very out of shape, so I hope that kid sticks with it.

Anyone strongman here?

I really want to get into it. Dat unparalleled grip strength. My gym has stones up to 405lb, a yoke, farmers handles, a log press, axle bar, and tires up to 900lb. Only problem is I don't really have anyone to coach me on the events and I don't want to fuck myself up

>>36514288

Flat sole is only better for wide stance sumo squat type of shit.

Lowbar with regular stance benefits from heels.

>>36514795
>>36514789
i figured it out. i added a column and the function didn't automatically adjust.

>>36514819
Glad I could help

>>36514814
Is this the special olympics?

>>36515015
Pretty much. BPU (garagebro 's fed)

This guy used to be ipf but then he switched. Wonder why.

just getting back into lifting after a 4 month break here I had no access to weights. My strength has gone down a lot, but I'm not too worried. I'm concerned with how strong I'll be 5 years from now, not next month.

I'm doing a basic upper/ lower split with four days per week. Outside of meet prep, any reason to not just go with a basic DUP style 'do what I want/some for a few' attitude? Using rpe isn't new to me, but I've never gone off the rails and not followed fairly specific programs.

Also, on off days. Any reason why I can't go push an empty bar around to get some blood flowing and practise technique a bit?

>>36515102
He got invited to kirills meet and got pats on the back from malan and misha

Plus i think he was ABPU at that push pull

I think like 10 people got banned from their respective feds for taking the piss out of him online, 4 in aus iirc

There will be a day with ipf memers and lol fedders can all get along. Except people who get caught cheating... fuck those guys.

>>36513745
> bar is in position
> rolls bar out of position
> rips bar
> throws weights down

Can't stand watching this

>>36515385
Its much better irl

Isleys cruel lolfed jibes are more like small digs in person. But then maybe he was just afraid my roidrage would kick in and id beat him to a pulp with a 20kg plate

>>36515385
it's more a /plg/ thing, lots of ipf and non ipfers get along fine

>>36515565
>>36515578
i am aware, its just fun to be overly dramatic

How are you healing gbro

>>36515589
Healing?

Im probs the most niggle free ive been in a long while

>>36515599
i just remembered you injured yourself.

But it sounds like your pretty good.

>>36515565
did you already jump on dat dere celltech?

>>36515599
are you still doing squat at parallel? does it hurts?

>>36515814
Not when i met isley.

Definitely not a magic bullet but can push harder and dont feel so beat up. But a low dose is never guna work miracles

>>36515781
And thus, the age of Leoko has begun

>>36513857
>moving the bar 6 inches using only your lower back and calling it a deadlift


Come on senpai

>>36515877
Sumo shifts the stress away from the lower back - because of a more vertical torso, same reason why a front squat is easier on the lower back than a back squat.

>>36513962
Imho DB bench and more work with narrower grip.

>>36515959
He said not a stability problem so db bench isnt needed

I have a day where i only do close grip both slingshot and raw but im more of the opinon that triceps are the main mover in the bench

Grew myself a beard to go with my lycra tights, just need a hoody then I'm a proper powerlifter, right?

Should I buy Oly shoes, SBD sleeves and wrist wraps? i got like 400$ extra bucks but not sure if i should pull the trigger.

>>36513627
Is it true that Westside is actually an intermediate program despite being aimed at advanced athletes? The progression seems similar to Texas Method.

>>36516117
>triceps are the main mover in the bench

for the last 30% of the rom, sure

Do I just give up now?

>>36516176
oh my god women

How to make sure dick/balls don't get crunched on DL? I'm so tight at start my balls get caught and then get yanked into the bar

Each set is pain

>>36516206

Buy a jock strap?

>>36516117
If DB bench allows him more ROM, it might help. Same with narrower grip benching (I think he already does CGBP?).
Tho admittedly research hasn't found evidence for larger ROM to give more gains for "trained" lifters, only for novices, the cut-off point is to the best of my knowledge not established.

I'll agree that they are one of the primary movers, but not -the- primary mover.

>>36516211
I'm leaning towards that...

What's the cons to touch and go other than less carry over to your max?
>you remain tight
>you control the descent
>you can lift more thus get stronger and bigger
>allows for more volume
>is arguably safer because you don't have to put a lot of force to get the bar off the ground each rep.

>>36516252

It's exhausting. At least for me.

Then again, I have no muscle endurance what so ever.

>>36516261
Interesting you say that. I find pausing more exhausting. I wonder why

Lads why are dumbbell rows such aids?
They give me the worst feeling ever after doing a set tbqh

Would not recommend/10

>>36516310
They give me amazing lat pump but doing them feels like cancer.

It's the worst undesirable feeling I think of.

>>36516321
This, I just get gassed af after a set because of having to do high reps with each arm seperately

Them SHW feels breh....

>>36514707
This, most good lifters just have long arms.

>>36515385
No.

>>36515870
Leoko is for poor europeans.

>>36515959
>Doing anything but comp bench or variations for bench


This man have long arms but is still a shit lifter, how is that even possible?

>>36516327
I haven't done them in ages and forgot about the worst part; having to do it again of the other arm.

Rows in general suck for me. I want to do seal rows but no equipment for them unfortunately.
I haven't found a single row I like.

>>36516310
Big weight plus double the reps. I get the same feel.

>>36516214
I mean, isn't it pretty well established that you can train highbar for a long time and you will almost definitely be stronger once you go back to comp style low bar?

>tfw you will NEVER be as tall and handsome as boardshorts

I hate being and ugly 5'6 manlet

>>36516252
specificity

Why are lunges such pain it's hell just thinking I have to lunge more

>>36516350
Ties in will lesser carry over. You can always train paused near comp, but when you're far away from comp it seems illogical.

>>36516310
i avoid anything unilateral because it always takes twice as long and sucks

>>36516361
>>36516339
>>36516336
Yeah I did them today for the first time in forever, did 75kg for 3x10, and holy fuck I could barely stand after one set because I was so gassed..

All I figured after this training session is to stop being a fatass and work on my work capacity through more BB work, and possibly "cardio"

>>36514357
here but realize that it would disappear immediately if you were to break up

>>36516379
Ew, cardio.
I hate cardio, the only thing I can stand is hill sprints.

>>36516344
Wouldn't that be because you've simply gotten stronger?
I also think it depends on the level of the lifter, in that it is more likely the case for intermediates than top level, because muh specificity. What do you think?

>>36516389
I prefer cardio over HIIT tbqh, but then again the only thing I'm thinking about doing for cardio is walking more, and possibly swimming if I can be bothered

What's the best way to come back from an injury and go about getting back to the weights you were lifting at before? Strained my SIJ about a month an a half ago so I wasn't able to deadlift or squat more than maybe 100 pounds during that time. I'm back to it now but my strength levels are way off, 300 for a grinder single where my max was 425 on deads, and 325 for a couple grinder singles where my max was 400 on squats. Should I just keep working out to a daily max sort of every time I lift until it's within range again then get back on the regular rep/set scheme, or just drop the weight a ton and keep in the same rep ranges as before?

>>36516400
Well yeah, but you also got stronger through a greater, but similar, range of motion.

Imo all you need is more relatively low intensity volume/reps on the core lifts.

>>36516466
>implying that's not what BB work is

>>36516464

But they don't know that. They're making assumptions they assume to be true based on something else.

>>36516472
Eh, the people I know irl who support Trump are all the same one's who casually drop the word 'nigger' in conversation as long as the rest of the group is white. It's at least as fair as assuming a Sanders supporter is an unemployed college student.

>>36516505
prejudice people is childish and immature

>>36516501
He'd probably be a semi-effective moderate in office, but he just has 0 gravitas and he's totally about himself. Can you imagine him giving a speech after Sandy Hook?

Also, the way he's chosen to market himself is pretty despicable.

>>36516501

>>36516501
A lot of people read what they want to hear into him because he says a lot of stuff some of which doesn't make much sense and some of which is contradictory. And it doesn't always match up with his policy proposals to they extent they exist.

Even on immigration it's not really clear whether he wants to reduce legal immigration levels.

>>36516501
Do you think "We're gonna bomb the shit out of 'em" constitutes a realistic defense policy?

>>36516546

I'd vote Hillary. I mean she's awful, but she'd probably be at least somewhat effective, and for me, the way Trump has run his campaign disqualifies him from holding office in a 'democratic' 'republic'.

BPU is growing fast. And with the addition of the ABPU we are getting a lot more members either leaving the GBPF or competing in both. Having tested has been great for growth, having to put on more meets and some over 2 days

>>36516501
I think he's popular partly because of the way he speaks.
I can't remember the name of the stuff, but it's about keeping the intellectual level of your presentation close to the level of your listeners so they perceive you as intellectual. The listeners are limited by their intellect in recognizing "good" and "bad". If you speak way above their head, they'll perceive you as dumb, whereas a dumb person speaking just above their head will be seen as smart.
Also, he caters to their feelings pretty well, and his supporters have barely heard of anyone but him and Clinton.

Not even benghazi if you don't care about that.
Countless times she switches her views completely to reflect what's going to get her votes. It's like she's not a real person, all her emotions are bent on votes and popularity.

I just couldn't possibly vote for someone who constantly lies to bad. At least she Obama might have been lying, it wasn't obvious. But hillary has repeatedly been caught up in it.

Bernie supporters see this first hand since they are in competition with her, so I think they'll have a hard time turning around and voting for the person they just spent the whole primary destroying and exposing her huge Web of lies.

Saying this I'm not a fan of trump either since he really doesn't even have a platform or solid plan. I'll probably vote independent just to show my displeasure with them both.

>>36516684
Yeah, no, it won't be fun, but I'll probably end up voting for her. Fuck...

>>36516684
tBh i don't feel like I need a personal forceful leader and I'm happy to have a candidate who will continue to make policies that broadly reflect the center of the Democratic Party.

>>36516672
Tbh, from what limited amount of footage I've seen of him, I'd never consider him intellectual. He's loud and dominant and that's basically it. If anything, I'd consider him that 'nobullshit straight to the point guy, who's not necessarily super smart but gets shit done'.
Hilary just seems obnoxious (again, my knowledge of her is very limited) with some of the shit she manages to spill sometimes.

>>36516720
Why are we stuck with 2 parties. I dont like this.
What's it going to take for us to renovate our shit system?

Also I like social liberties and safety net stuff but we really need to get our finances in gear. Would be better to get a fiscally conservative president in there for a bit and fix stuff, then we can shove an sjw back in and make some more progress in that direction. It's all about balance. Not taking too much too quick.

>>36516751
Because a fptp system with a presidential election will naturally trend toward two parties and there's not really any way around that.

Like everyone, you also overestimate the power of the president over domestic policies. If a dem wins and the repubs keep congress (almost certain) then we will have very limited change. Anything that gets done will need to be through compromise and we've already seen how amenable the house Republicans are to that. If a repub wins and they keep house and senate we could have a major roll-back of the past 8 years of policies (eg on healthcare and climate change).

That's what the stakes are in November on the domestic side.

Hey guys.

Whenever I squat, my toes are pointed outward quite a lot ... not the "slightly turn your feet outward"

Is dis ok?

>>36516684
it doesn't even matter if trump has a plan or not, his win would open up some issues that you amerifags will have to deal with eventually, such as immigration, political correctness, racial issues etc...Hillary will continue whats obama been doing, until some serious shit escalates imo. We in europe are already fucked by migrants cuz no one thought about implications of letting millions of undocumented people come in without any desire to assimilate. I can't even imagine whats gonna happen when africans start boarding ships when they realize no one's gonna stop them freely moving wherever they want. Now if i wanna enter for example UK legally, i need a fucking visa and document check for months, just for a short summer trip. But if youre coming over from afghanistan or iraq, you're in no worries bruh.

>Because a fptp system with a presidential election will naturally trend toward two parties and there's not really any way around that.
Yea I know that. I'm saying I wish we could change it into something that makes it easier for smaller parties to get a hold. But of course the parties in power aren't going to willingly give up power unfortunately.
And it may not be a bad idea to roll back some things. Those things may be good but our finances are really just a mess and we need to make some compromises to actually be able to afford good things and that might mean removing some other things

The immigration situation in the US is much better than Europe. For one thing, people integrate better: foreign-born unemployment rates are actually lower than native-born in the US, whereas they're 2x as high as native rates in countries like Sweden, Denmark, Italy. Second, Mexico is past its peak emigration years do to a slowdown in population growth and economic development. The total stock of illegal immigrants peaked in 2007 and has actually fallen since. Whereas Africa is just getting started. The US take a moderate amount of asylum seekers from the middle east and Africa per year after a lengthy application process, but it's not at all a crisis like in Europe.

I think you're also a little misguided about how it works in Britain, which thankfully did not join Schengen. That's why there are all those migrants camped out in Calais trying to sneak through the tunnel, because it's not that easy like Germany.

>>36516909
As I said, I'm not US and I don't really pay attention enough to really know him, or any other candidate for that matter. But that's the impression I get.

>>36516893
She turned it around on me and said "How can you ask that question without answering it yourself? I dont know what you want either"

I said I find it very odd that she feels that way and told her ive only been nice, clear and responsive to her and shes been doing shit like ignore me for months at a time, and backing off when I want to meet her.

I refered to lately when ive been more "sexually" flirty, and she said when I put it like that she thinks i just want a fuck, and that shes not interested in that.

I found that pretty dishonest. She does shit like go out and drink every friday and go to uni parties etc. I doubt very much that she doesnt have sex with people from there.

Anyway it feels good to have burned that bridge. I always found excuses to respond to her flirting when she started doing it. But now its done. Bittersweet.

>>36516877
Probably for the best, friend-o.

It would be too much friction for me to be with a devout christian

Yesterday I was having a loud conversation about how retarded mormonism and islam are in the gym, and when my friend said what about christianity, we had quite a laugh there too

>>36517253
So does your gym have hat racks for you guys?

Alright, Im done with this shit ass barbell.

Got a metal shaving in my finger. Done. Time for an upgrade.

Please give me some ideas on which barbell to buy thats worth the money and shit.

Also, please post milfs/high test (not fat) bitches.

Thankss

nah

Just "doesnt want to get drunk all the time" is enough. Clubbing is a turnoff but tBh most people get sick of that in their late 20s so thats not a problem I think.

not a home pleb so dont know much but the rouge Ohio(?) bar is getting good reviews

better stock up on Swedish steel before the price skyrockets

>>36517331
thanks white brother, ill check it out

Anybody sign up for those Lifting Lyceum seminars that Strength Theory is putting out? Price seems pretty reasonable but I'm not sure how useful it'll really be. Don't want to pay $100 for a bunch of basic information I already know.

>a bunch of basic information I already know.
Isn't that what they always are?

>>36517130
So he's looking for a girl who doesn't drink, isn't religious, doesn't go to parties or bars, isn't actively looking to date, is interested in fitness or sports, is Swedish, young, and attractive, and is interested in overweight-by-conventional-standards powerlifters. And he's not willing to do anything in particular to put himself in a place to find her. Well good luck. Hope you don't die alone.

This desu. I don't think they'll tell you anything that's not already on the internet. I also can't listen to Omar and Greg for more than 5 minutes. You're better off spending the money on some coaching.

I have a beginner question. When doing deadlifts can I reset my stance after every rep or is that bad?
