/PLG/ Powerlifting General

>literally moving the weight 10 inches off the floor

Haha pathetic . They should have range of motion requirements .

Seriously though, nothing against sumodls (lol) but it seems to me that you can snap your knees up, seeing the position they're in when downward pressure is at it's peak

>>38975712
on facebook for first time in half a year. motivated as fuck to lift and be the best nigga ever. how much autism?

Why is my upper body so shit compared to my lower body?

Did 5 reps of 385 for the deadlifts and felt good.

Failed on my 3rd rep of 185 on my bench.

Manlet of 5'7" and 160 lbs lifting for a year

Thanks Mehdi for my uneven strength but please help

>>38975816
if your bench form is solid, it could be just your weight since the bench press is heavily depended on how much you weigh

Doesn't mean you need to get fat as fuck to have a big bench but having a big bench with a low bw will take time

>>38975816
Do more upper volume/BB work

>tfw talentchad and pl is fun but I'll never make money and be famous because no one cares about it. I wish I was still playing american football but I was injured before I got a chance. guess ill just kill myself because Im not looking at what is still good in my life. oh wait feels good mam I dont want to kill myself :)

>>38975754
Have a score based on distance the bar travels, not just weight.

Suddenly its not a sport for manlets, closer grips on bench, people squat deeper, sumo goes away. Sport would be great.

I know it won't happen but damn would I enjoy the manlet tears if it did. I hope some fed somewhere implements this. Maybe I'll get rich and put it all together. Have cameras to measure exactly how far the bar travels.

>>38975816
Do you have long arms?

Honestly this could just be a case of bad leverages.

Or maybe youre low test. Women tend to have weak arms ;)

>>38975921
So it then would become a sport of lankets.

Wow what a great idea man, you are really looking at the bigger picture here!

>>38975754
>>38975921
Yes.

I mean look at Boss of Bosses 3. Compare Dan Green's deadlift to that black dudes one. The black dudes rom was at least 3x that of Dan's. Shits fucked.

>>38976064
Maybe that black guy should learn sumo. You guys are faggots BTW, the heaviest raw deads of all time are all conventional, the heaviest squats of all time are all performed by guys at least 5'10 and above, and Kirill's arm's are long as fuck. If you aren't allowed some sort of genetic advantage in sport, sport wouldn't exist.

>>38976174
This.

Micheals phelps in swimming isn't any different. He has insane proportions.

First skill test set

175kg squat

Wish me luck lads

>>38976174
Kirill Sarychev's arms are not long proportional to his height, and he also has a gigantic barrel torso.

Built to bench huge weights.

Anyone have experience with squatting whith heels?

>>38976264
Good luck mang

>>38976295
Yes

Got 175

RPE 9.5

180 next

>>38976312
What can I expect? I have a rather narrow stance but a lot of lean forward. Thought they might benefit me.

>>38976358
Increased "dorisflexion" can help hit depth and/or stay more upright if that's what you want.

Also squat shoes (depending on brand) are super stable

>>38976324
Good luck.
webms posted later?

180 failed, didn't even get out of the hole

175 just took so much out of me that I felt exhausted before I even tried 180

I'm alright with a 5kg gain on squats during a 8kg cut

Gonna take a break before bench

>>38976386
Yeah I'll post a YouTube video of my 175 tonight, maybe my 180 but there's not a lot to see

>>38976401
>he still hasn't squatted 180 yet claims he does
Gj though. Look forward to seeing

>>38976424
Guess I can't claim that anymore :(

>>38976379
Will they fix my slight buttwink?!

>tell everyone I squatted 180kg
>didn't tell them due to using non calibrated plates it was actually 176.3726kg

Devilish

105 GET

110 complete miss didn't even try when I got to the chest. I think I've got a psychological issue where if I grind out a rep, I just don't see myself doing anything heavier even its only slightly heavier. I'm alright with 175/105 though

Question is now, on my last training cycle I trained with maxes of 180 and 110 but I didn't hit either of those today but it felt easy during the cycle to use those so, do I keep those maxes for the next cycle or increase a bit or go to my actual maxes?

>tfw rest day but can't go hiking because I have exterminators coming over

>>38976707
Sounds like you need to try harder

>>38976762
Inflate maxes more it is

is sumo DL easier than conventional?

>>38976908
Depends on your leverages. For some it's harder, for others easier.
Sumo does decrease the ROM but people will still be more comfortable and pull more weight conventional. Try it out

So I have been doing the following for the last month:
Morning - squats and bench, 95-100+% 1RM, 3x3 back off sets, then either power cleans with the same set/rep scheme or snatch grip 3x5 or regular deadlifts 2x4-5
Evening - handstand pushups @ 225+lbs bodyweight @ gf chinups to failure, gf planks to failure, weighted crunches or someshit

I repeat this crap every other day and see pretty linear gains at 2-10 kg a week for bench, squat and deathlift (mfw microplaets). 140 -> 152.5 bench, 155 -> 170 squat, 160x5 -> 180x5 deathlifts. I know my squat and dadlifts are weak, but my bench is decent and it seems to be progressing fine. How long will the easy gains last?

No lie, I originally thought that was a girl until I saw your head.

Id rethink the leggings.

>>38977308
bad angle but it's just below 4 plate. so 175kg

>>38977234
And then you immediately jump on plg.

Think about that for a moment.

>>38977317
I really hoped you were a girl desu. Oh well.

I've ripped 3 pairs of shorts so far and Tbh, leggings are comfy as fuck. I don't care enough about fashion to wear gym rat approved clothing

Like if I saw someone in the gym wearing that, Id assume they take it from behind.

>>38977339

>>38977347
Like I care. I get what you're saying but I'm comfortable with how I look and my sexuality. I'll take comfort and preference over what some random thinks of me any day

I know I've started going backwards when I'm that insecure faggot wearing shorts over his leggings

>>38977350
Yes it is, you can see him recapture a neutral spine coming out of the hole.

Ffs he's wearing purple tights you cant even claim deceiving clothes. That is clearly PPT

>>38977371
IDK when I do deadlifts the bar tends to kill leggings.

desu I can't tell if there's buttwink or not because of the safeties but I don't think it's that bad of an issue, i've got videos of lighter weight where there's no buttwink. I'll definitely keep an eye on it though thanks.

>>38977387
That's only if you do it with proper form though, so my leggings will be absolutely fine.

Leggings are a problem though, I used to wear them just for squats just because I ran out of shorts due to rips. Now I wear leggings pretty much 95% of the time in daily life. Just too comfy desu

ban sum o

>>38977208
I know form breaks down at maximal loads, but I'd take a focus on making sure your shoulders and chest rise WITH your hips. If your 80% plus squat reps look like that, then squatting will be a bit tough for you. When your hips shoot up quickly by themselves like that, it puts a lot of stress on the lower back to straighten your torso. Not to mention you might lose the weight forward someday. All this can be disregarded if the majority of your reps don't have this issue though. But I just thought I'd say something because I had this problem very badly on my heavier loads and it really made squatting difficult for me. I fixed it by lowering the weight a lot and building my form again from scratch.

>>38977208
>rpe9.5
No that's a 10

Good depth though

>>38977208

>>38975816
Honestly just changing my hand position like this article suggested made my bench go up by 20 lbs in a few weeks.

>>38977505
There's some really good content here and there on T nation. Too bad about all the Biotest plugging though.

>>38977097
Doesn't even make sense

>>38977478
Isley what kind of pants/shorts do you wear for deadlifts? Or do you sock it? ;)

>>38977208
Wait is this a guy?

>>38977524
Yeah, he just has a feminine penis.

>>38977405
You descend with speed but very little control, slow it down and stay tight, stretch reflex isnt just bouncing, your hips shoot back very early which says to me your quads bailed fast so bring up your quad strength

>>38977577
Carshedfriend, do power cleans serve any purpose in powerlifting? Can I treat them like light deadlifts or something? I really like doing them.

>>38977465
Noted thanks. I definitely don't have it at loads less than 90% but like you said, don't want too much stress on my lower back

>>38977478
>Isley complimented me using his cracked trip
Too good to be true

>>38977494
Cheers

>>38977524
Is this the new meme

>>38977577
Yeah I was thinking the same thing but on sheiko there's pretty much no quad assistance. I'll probably add in front/hack squat or leg press at the end of every second squat session or so

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA17_TvO6vM
>tfw no pet bear

Hike today?

>>38977208
good job but yeah no way were you getting 180 after that

>>38977621
Not that i can think of. Plus most people just do a cheat reverse curl

>>38977634
Switch to highbar for a training cycle and stay upright for more quad?

>>38977521
Cargo shorts and Sandles

>>38977634
Fine. It's good to see you hit depth.

That was rpe10 lad and of course you couldn't squat 180

>>38977733
>switch to high bar
Low bar squat is the only thing going for me, I'd rather just add in some assistance.

>>38977757
I think I'm capable of 180 with optimal conditions (my usual gym, full sleep, pre workout ect) but yeah, that 175 took so much out of me that there was no way.

Kind of disappointed desu, 180 is so fucking close

>>38977840
What the fuck is a preworkout seriously

Is it like coffee

Why not just sniff ammonia

>>38977840
Errrr maybe. If you did just 162.5kg beforehand you might. But it's a stretch.

>>38977898
It's a crutch. It feels like a boost the first time. Then it becomes a necessity. Like wrist wraps. Only not at all like wrist wraps.

>>38977840
>only thing going for you

Theres your problem.

People crticise westside but their whole thing is constantly bringing up weakness

>>38977920
I had caffeine and ammonia yesterday to lift as heavy as i could, last time before that was my comp in december. Maxes only. Otherwise like you say it gives you nothing.

>>38976035
No, it wouldn't retard.
Just because they can lift slightly further ROM, doesn't mean they can do so with the same weights someone with less ROM can.

Use your noggin, fuck.

>>38976284
Yes, when they built him at the factory, they specifically designed him for benching.
There is no way he got that shape from, gee, I dunno....maybe benching?

Fuck.

>>38977840
get a double at 170 first then go for 180 once you've achieved that

>tfw DYEL weightlifters in the gym deadlifting Three Plate and screaming like they are though shit

KILL ME

>>38977955
Yeah yesterday was an exception

I don't use caffeine anymore. It just makes my stomach gassy and I can't breathe for the deadlifts.

>>38977979
>Training alters limb length
>Training alters the size of your ribcage
You what?

>>38977840
Hey at least your max actually looks like a max, i last skills test i hit 170 as fast as anything and could do 175.

>>38978020
This is not a good thing, if you have good form your max will also be good form and NOT breakdown just slowdown. His form is going to shit as you see

>>38977985
Hey buddy, I think you've got the wrong door, the leather club's two blocks down.

>>38978018
Stop baiting, he obviously wasn't born to bench more than the average man.

He got his barrel shape from lifting.
Do you think if he never picked up a weight in his life and ate 1500 calories a day he would have that shape?

that would've been smart, the sheiko plan is not right for me. I got the 167.5kg 'warmup' but it absolutely took a good chunk of my strength that would've been better used for the working sets

>>38977955
I agree with you but I'd really rather not ditch low bar for a few months. I don't mind training with both though.

>>38977982

It wasn't that bad

>>38977992
It's coz you got to poop before you diddly.

>>38978039
If I were you I'd keep training low bar but keep the form on point for a couple of workouts, then see if your max form improves.

Going 105s for the long term lad :)

First comp not trying to fill out the weightclass. Just want to put together some minor PBs on everything and not get injured so you might still outbench me on the way up haha.

But I'll be a 105 from here on out. I took some measurements after my last comp and just took some more this morning to compare

Chest 45" - 48"
Waist 31" - 33"
Arms 15.5" - 16"
Quads 24" - 26"
Calves 17" - 17" (thank fuck)

So I'm definitely making some gains. Hoping to be more competitive in the 105s. Or at least have a better chance at 400+ Wilks. Would have had it at 93 with all my PBs in one comp but gotta play the long game.

>>38978264
>does that mean no eccentric = no muscles growth ever?
No but it means less. Couple it with the relatively light weight and purely isometric contraction and power cleans are really, really fucking inefficient muscle builders. They're for weightlifters only. All others need not apply.

>What about say push presses?
Push presses have loads of eccentric stress. Supra-maximal eccentric load actually.

>>38978282

Candito squats are crazy but smolov is squat 4x a week

>>38976284
Barrel chests shouldn't be allowed in bench either as it cuts down ROM. Lifters with smaller chest diameters than the largest lifter at the meet should be allowed to use a block to compensate and make everyone's chest the same size.

>>38978566
If I stall that's crashing and being a dead end

>>38978603
No if you crash you die from the impact.

>>38978609
I always squat with an airbag for safety

>>38978620
I did that too but at my new shitty commercial gym they don't let you fail reps literally. There's a bunch of instructors watching everyone and if they think your weight is too high they will go and offer a spot and yell at you if you don't comply.

>>38978536
You'll come out injured or just not stronger than you were

T. someone who did smolov

isley if the college course isn't 5 days a week why not do a part time job?

why not do a day release or night course so you could stay with your own firm while doing it? this situation sounds really quite precarious for your career prospects. why not even do an open university course? they are actually quite respectable as side qualifications and more importantly can be done in your spare time to fit around your career

>>38978661
>isley if the college course isn't 5 days a week
It is. 9-6 erryday

I also couldn't have worked, lifted weights and done a night course. There simply wasn't time in the day for all that plus the simple effort of living: washing cleaning cooking eating and commuting.

>>38978678
what about weekends

>>38978731
I'm still human, I need a weekend.

>>38978678
then maybe its time to question training 7 days a week for a sport you've proven to be objectively poor at. prioritising career goals over a hobby is something you might want to look into, and a lack of it might be why you're nearly 30 and in the situation you're in, especially since you're not even stupid or poorly qualified either. another solution might be go into coaching or pt'ing as a full time career, if lifting is all you want to do in life.

>>38978735
No you don't.

You got yourself in this situation by being extremely lazy. You're not going to make things better without pulling your finger out.
why not get a weekend job?

>implying Isley won't be able to find a shitty codemonkey job because you didn't work at McDick
He can just go "I went full time athlete and got a medal at world's I was coaching people unofficially making good money and planning to go pro but then found out coding is my true passion"

Done he is now a codemonkey now he can outperform rest of pajeets which is not hard since coding is legit fun and gradually get a decent job if he keeps learning.

>>38978770
Thanks. A cups according to my gf

>>38978791
There are thousands of codemonkey jobs in this city and I enjoy codemonkeying. And talking to pajeets over skype is a perverse form of torture.

>>38978791
What the hell is a code monkey? If you mean software developer: there is no way he will get a job, because he simply cannot program at all.

If you mean watching anime at work and writing a batch script once a month then yeah, maybe he can find a job for that.
Minimum wage, of course.

>>38978825
When you legit start working in a job you will see how mindnumbingly dumb it is to work at crap companies. I though I'd be content making basic IT salary at a shitty job but now I want a job at a better place so that I stop seeing retardation.

>>38978791
You're obviously not from london lad. Skilled IT professionals come here from all over the world. The job market is brutal here. IT here pays pennies unless you have post graduate degree,shining portfolio of work and are absolutely savage at what you do. I only got a decent paying job coding here due to nepotism.

Lacking financial security going as you start to get older is very grim.
If you are happy having a poverty job that doesn't allow you to save so you can pick weights up and down will make things very difficult later in life.

its a song you spesh

>>38978893
As an auto didact, I really don't.

So I'm doing a course to learn that.

>>38978882
Dunno.
>Why is George Leeman a shitlethe
Because he hasn't done anything but post youtube videos. That's not sport.

>>38978896
Suicide by barbell would be a fitting end to isley's life.

>>38978888
It's a song you 12 year old retard

>>38978910
I'll make it easy for you code is "elegant" when juniors can't understand it but everyone else can.

>>38978910
A course will totally enable you to write elegant code, yeah.

>>38978926
That doesn't seem right.

Sure it is sport. Why does it need to be grand and institutionalized to be sport? All sports rose from the ground, and were then formalized. It's the same with everything. Even mathematics. You're confused.

>>38978791
>outperforms the rest of the pajeets

isley will not get to show off technical or mental ability in a codemonkey job. its about as technically demanding as burger flipping. what gets you promotions is work ethic and enduring hours of searching pajeet code for missing parentices. a pajeet with a starving family of 20 hes left behind in india hes got to feed and pay for will work a lot harder than rich white boy who trains for a sport 7 days a week and will without a doubt always prioritise it above meeting work deadlines.

>>38976989

>>38978954

>>38977234
>tfw iktf

Easy run, small breakfast, meditate, cup of coffee and an hour or two of casual shitposting with the lads. Thursdays are pretty comfy.

>>38978976
It's not hard to meet work deadlines when you're not retarded and can put in the effort.

Lads how long does it take for fatigue to start disappearing from lower back ? Did a mock meet with my openers on Sunday and i'm still feeling it for some reason.
185 kg squat 190 DL and 125 bench weigh 89 and still bulkan so recovery is not an issue.

I feel sad now because I listened to that Code Monkey song for the first time in my life. Poor Code Monkey and his big fuzzy heart :C

>>38978962
You're an idiot.

>>38978955
So then elegant is just an injoke among senior developers? Writing obfuscated and obtuse code actually isn't that difficult. I always try to write something really readable.

I want to write to best practises but i don't know what they are.

>>38978976
Here's how work deadlines are set
>how long should this task take?
>okay it takes roughly X hours. Let's budget it for 2X hours

Leaves you X/2 hours to play games.

>>38979013
>tfw play vidya and powerlift

>>38979013
This sounds a lot like drugaroo powerlifting.
Wasn't aware that natties go through double pec tears, ripped triceps and destroyed knee caps.

>>38979013
IMO powerlifting is pretty safe and tame as far as competitive sports go. Judo is probably much more injurous.

>guys goes to olympics

>>38979026
No, elegant code is not a joke and it's not code obfuscation.

To write actual good code all the way through you will want to have at least 15 years of experience in big projects.
It's just something you absolutely cannot grasp at the moment.
When I listen to you talking about elegant code it sounds like you think it's about making cool for loops and little algorithm routines, that do something without code redundancy and shit.

But that's like the very bottom of it.

>>38979051
100% agree, any bjj dude can submit most judo guys after just a year. Judo is like 70% aikido 30% bjj.

Good luck. Hope it goes well.

its exactly 20kg

If you don't take initiative in your life and do some actual hard work on your career you're not going anywhere my friend.
Start doing extra and going a little further and your overlord will notice.
You can't just keep banking on the workers uniting.

>>38979138
You're naive. Laziness and incomptence succeed all the time.

>>38979130
do you want promotions and job security, or to be dropped the moment the firm has a bad year? and earn the same £20-30k entry wage till you're 50, and probably end up working through retirement too?

>>38979129
>above 4plate

Welp.

>>38979133
The only way this is possible is if you benched for a long time before you started squatting

>>38979138
Benchbro with the solid advice

>>38979145
Just because laziness and incompetence succeed all the time doesn't mean that you should hope to be one of those lucky people. Also the more technical your job is, the more competence is recognized and rewarded usually.

I trust in the fundamental incompetence of all people.

>>38979103
Everyone knows European work ethnic is amongst the best

>>38979145
Actually in my previous job I took the initiative and did not only my job but helped others with there's and got an offer for a promotion to an assistant leadership role.
Obviously turned it down because fuck being stuck in a factory.

Have fun scraping the bare minimum and retiring from an entry level position though.
Remember when financial trouble hits the company its going to get rid of the bare minimum workers and keep the above and beyonds.

How will you improve if you do the bare minimum.

It's like saying:

"Oh my routine say's deadlift 220kg for 4 reps, I feel great like I can do one more but I won't because in my piece of paper that dictates my routine it says 4 reps not 5. I guess I just won't push my limits."

That's a retarded way to approach your programming.

>>38979882
The weights literally doesn't matter unless you're peaking for a meet and need to gain confidence with loads near the 1RM. What matters is how much stress you put on the body to force strength adaptions. With lower loads, you can 1) do more total repetitions with heavy enough weights, 2) ensure good quality on those reps and also 3) make changes in your form if needed. If you struggle with weights over 90% to often you're going to revert to the form you're strongest in right now even if it's not optimal long-term for your development.

Good points but I believe I can achieve all of those (and I did to the best of my knowledge) with a 5kg inflation. So why wouldn't I Inflate my maxes? The best reason I can think of is accumulated fatigued affecting your test but honestly, I don't think it would make that big of a different

Don't get me wrong, if lifting lighter weights makes me stronger than heavy weights, I'll do it for sure. But I don't see how it works. To me, trying harder seems to work better than not putting your effort in

Was supposed to go in and do one set of bench press with supramaximal weight (95% x 1-4; doing C6W)

Really afraid I'm gonna be weak as shit because of the fatigue; should I go anyway?

>Good points but I believe I can achieve all of those (and I did to the best of my knowledge) with a 5kg inflation
If you can get the same quality on all reps, go with the inflation. I'm just trying to get you to understand the underlying concepts. But if you're able to get away with +5kg training maxes you might want to try a higher volume program.

>try a higher volume program
Any suggestions?
Best one I can think of is candito

>should I go anyway?

Don't be a fuckin pussy

>>38980118
I was thinking of another sheiko template since you seem to have gotten good results from your last run(increased maxes while losing 8 kg)

I'm not reluctant because I don't feel like going man, I just don't wanna hit 1 rep and then fail because of fatigue when I could do 3 if I was feeling rested.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if fatigue has that kinda impact or if it's negligible.

Is there anything worse than a talent Chad that thinks he isn't one?

>>38980082
I went to vivid too.

Bad sleep doesn't affect performance that much if it's just one night ime.

>>38980144
Like 3 day int high? Anyone got the spreadsheet?

>>38980177
Pretty good yeah? Food trucks selling 50c coin sized burgers for 5.50 was pretty fucked though hey

Depends on you i've squatted 175kg for a set of 5 with only 5 hours of sleep meanwhile the other day I had on-call and managed to get only 2 hours of sleep couldn't do more than 1 set of 5 with 160.

If you usually function with low sleep then go for it if 99% of the time you get 7-8 hours then I would just move the training by 1 day or go in and see how you do.

>I just work harder
>to progress you have to do exactly what I did but if that doesn't work it's because things also don't work perfectly for everyone but my genetics also don't play a part I just want it more lol

>>38980082
Come say Hi if you train at anytime fitness maroubra junction or bondi junction.

>>38980214

>>38980214

Have you tried trying harder to try harder?

>>38980214
Are you saying mentality doesn't play a huge part in lifting?

>Half-ass his training and take month-long breaks whenever it gets hard
>Doesn't bother to fix his hernia-driving squats and deadlifts
>Gains his freshman fifty and whines about how cutting is too hard while eating donuts 7times/week
Wah wah talentchads so unfair

>Blaming things on genetics you can objectively improve through hard work and discipline

Talentchads may be much better off genetically, but they sure as hell don't give up when things aren't going their way. What if you could have been a talentchad if you had some discipline but you never got to realize your potential because of your toxic mindset?
