>First for 300 wilks
Enjoy 300.
350 will be a rush.
400 will be a grind.
After that, you find out if you are a chad or a gde.

Sup cunts, got a question. I sometimes get a twinge in my taint after doing squats over 150kg. Is this a result of pushing or squeezing pelvic floor too hard?

>>39523438
Sounds like you are sexually aroused and need a handsome swedish boy to fill you up?

Found the 399 wilks guy that thinks he will blow past it without roids.

From the symptoms, it's clear that you have brain cancer or pregnancy.

>average
Yeah because people competing in National Opens are representative of the average powerlifter

Also PA open and British Open have a much smaller sample size

I removed everyone who also bombed. Also only men

Also something with that chart is if someone had a 500 wilks they were also added to the >400

Here's the charts where if someone go 430 they were included in >400 but not <400 or if someone got 470 they were only included in >450

Showed my gf the video of you squatting and she said you have a very nice figure, specifically butt and legs

Who knew all it took is to be a world class powerlifter?

>>39523438
Is it kinda like a shooting pan that kinda shoots through into your dick/asshole/prostate kinda area? Because I get that occasionally (once really strongly after sitting up fast from a long paused bench single) and boy is it sketchy. My guess is a nerve that runs through the SI must get suddenly tweaked.

Nah it doesn't shoot. it feels like Cruella de Vil is vehemently poking my taint. it could be a nerve but my theory is its my pelvic muscles being clenched. maybe bracing better would fix it. Weird that you get it after binch.

The sound of a harley could be heard echoing outside. The pinball machines and pool tables sat unplayed, covered in a thin film of dust and cigarette grime. Esmeralda was at her perch behind the bar mindlessly pawing a damp and filthy rag into a disgusting beer mug. Esme had a far away stare stuck in her face and a wet spot in her panties as she remembered a wild night she had partaken of with a juiced up bull dyke name Banaca or something.

Banaca looked exactly like hulk hogan spare the mustache and millions of dollars. She was a hammer thrower but, as Esme came to find out, Banaca could throw a fist into a pussy pretty good too.

Thr empty bar stank, slightly of urine and slightly of Esme's gypsy body odor. She only had two more hours in this hellhole before she coukd call it a night and head home to fingrt blast herself and give unwarranted advice to dyels on an uzbekistani iguana breeding website.

Suddenly the double doors swung open, startling Esme out of her disgusting memories and into the present.

Standing in the doorway was a doughy looking man. His eyes bugged so far out of his head, he looked like a cartoon pug or some kind of halibut. He was Isley, a well known rapist and anti-drug puritan (faggot). Isley surveyed the empty bar, sniffing at the air, he paused fot a moment to stuff his googly eyes back into his head.

"You're not hinging your hips when you smell the air" said Esme
It was an autistic way to greet someone but Esme was a retard and everything in the world seemed to revolve around hip hinging.

"I dont give a shit about circus lifting" said Isley, being a giant faggot.

Esme poured him a warm beer and started boiling up a pizza, which as far as i know, is a normal thing to do in bongistan.

George eyeballed the beer before deciding it was 'not natty' and notified WADA before stuffing his eyes back into his head.

If you read this your mom dies tonight, no immunities.

>>39525163
Do you think fil would bench significantly more if he gripped as wide as you, if he trained it? Or does his narrower grip only work because of his top tier genetics?

>he didn't mention Rippetoe once
I didn't even read it

>>39525537
Yes

We should invent a """sport""" of our own, market it and sell it to chumps.

First we need a cool name, like "tactical powertoning" or "athlifting" meaning "athletic lifting" or "taclethics" from "tactical athletics".

Taclethics sounds nice, okay, now we need a gimmick and a face of the brand. Idk maybe Fil if he acted more like supermang?

>>39525586
So fil is not only stronger than you, he's stronger despite cucking himself via inefficient technique? He's pretty intelligent and cares a lot about improving his total, don't you think he'd grip wider if it would truly benefit him?

You imbecile, the IPF needs to stop shitting all over the concept of ad revenue if they ever want this to NOT be a joke of a niche "sport."

I have a perfectly acceptable Rogue Echo belt, but if I want to do an IPF affiliate meet, I have to buy a BestBelt or some other brand that paid the bullshit fees to get their gear IPF approved. Which, of course, Rogue didn't because they have real sponsorships with companies and circuses that actually make money, like CrossFail.

And I'd have to get an IPF Approved Singlet with zero logos on it because god forbid anyone potentially make money off of this shit. You think the PGA Tour does this shit? You think they tell Phil Mickelson he can't wear a shit with Mercedes-Benz' logo on it? Of course not, because the PGA Tour isn't run by a bunch of impotent retards who'd rather be a slightly above average fish in a terribly small pond instead of GROWING.

The IPF and their affiliates are the best powerlifting feds on earth, but that's more of an indictment against every other shitshow fed rather than any indication of aptitude on the IPF's part.

I mean, the IPF's bullshit targeted WADA testing is a fucking farce designed to target people the drug testers don't like (like how, coincidentally, they went after the Russian weightlifters but not the Chinese while a Chinaman was their VP or some shit), but this is somehow a step down.

>2.5 meter knee wraps are considered raw

Get the fuck outta here with this shit.

>>39525681
Powerlifting is a sport for losers.
Since 99% of humanity are losers, powerlifting is for those 99%. It's easy to get into, easy to progress up to a point, you aren't limited by genetics as much.

Powerfatting:
Fag goes to gym to tone up -> gets his endorphin kick out of leveling up his lifts like in WoW -> five days later he's a powerfatter doing his first competition -> ten years later he gets his nats gold due to a freak turn of events even though he has shit leverages

Compare with oly lifting where you have to be explosive out the ass to be competitive (not really trainable) which weeds out half of population and learn autismal trick lifts and then you go to the olympics and get your ass kicked by chinese genetic chadroiders.

Compare with boxing where you have to know people to even get your foot in no matter how much of a genetic chad you are.

Compare with handegg/football where you can go fuck yourself if you aren't a genetic chad that made it to the team, you can't train and win alone.

Powerfarting is literally the people's sport.

>>39525696
>It's easy to get into, easy to progress up to a point

This applies to everything

>>39525730
>two years to 2 plate bench
Not for everyone, evidently

But you can expect to get to nationals within your lifetime even if you're a ged.
Try that with oly or boxing.

>implying theres an intrinsic difference between powerlifting and other sports when it's really just sample size

What's it like to be fucking retarded? I've always wondered, anon.

>>39525751
Define "intrinsic difference".
Powerlifting is cheap and accessible. It does not depend on mostly untrainable assplosive strength. You are not required to be part of the team or know people. Just train and sign up.

>>39525789
so is 99% of sports.

if anything powerlifting is hard to get into because you need a equipment or a gym. For something like handegg, you just need a ball really.

You can get so far in powerlifting because so little people have even heard of it. If it was as popular as handegg, haack would be incredibly average

>>39525800
You can get so far in powerlifting because it's one of the rare sports where hard work loses less to genetic advantage compared to oly, and it's a sport nobody cares about, so gifted people go for handegg, basketball, soccer, etc. So you end up with gifted people doing popular sports that pay, and even if the entirety of remaining Earth's population would powerfat, it'd still be a sport of genetic rejects because genetic chads will move to football, handegg, you know, sports that pay.

Eh whatever, both of our positions aren't thought through, if powerlifting became truly popular it'd be dominated by chads too.

You have any idea how much a set of golf clubs cost? And then buying golf balls, tee times, greens fees, etc, etc.

Or how much hockey pads, ice time, and a teams of other goofs cost?

There are very few even half serious physical competitions as easy to get into as powerlifting. Rugby, depending on where you are, is pretty cheap generally. Possibly soccer as well. Other than that, powerlifting is pretty much the cheapest.

And the IPF wants to ruin that by limiting what buttfucking singlet brand you can wear.

How do you decide between bars for general strength use?

http://www.bulldoggear.eu/collections/bars-bumpers/products/the-bulldog-bar-20kg-composite-bushing-barbell


What's the difference and what effect does it have?

>>39526111
>general strength
It doesn't matter.
Strong-ass powerlifters use stiff bars for squatting and benching because the weight is so big the ends of the bar will start oscillating otherwise.
Deadlift bar is bendy because it lets you lift a bit more because bendiness decreases the distance a bit.
Just get a stiff bar.

>>39526073
Simple solution: jack off then ask yourself this question after.

The solution to your problem will become clear.

>>39526107

>>39526128
Ah, of course, the wisdom wank.

>>39526098
Hows about lifting and becoming strong instead of seeking a teabag from yoitube celebrities

>>39525751

There are intrinsic differences, dipshit. The primary of which is that powerlifting is almost entirely a pure strength competition. There is also some skill, but it's not hard for a non-retarded individual to learn. Strength is probably the single most trainable physical trait.

While most all other sports are either absurdly technical (golf), heavily dependent on power production/"explosiveness" (like American football or basketball) or both (ice hockey). You can't train the 30'' vertical leap you need to be an NFL candidate unless you were born with a 28'' vertical leap. You can't train being 6'8'' to be an NBA player.

You can pretty easily train your way to a 500 lbs squat given a some years and basic knowledge. And the bar for nationals is laughably low, partly to your point that there really isn't a deep sample size to draw from.

My dumb ass, that had been a competitive golfer since 12, is, after 5 years of general strength training around golf season in the name of hitting a golf ball farther, less than 100 lbs from the 1490 lbs total I believe I need to qualify for nationals at 230 lbs bodyweight.

>>39526137

>>39526137

>>39525800

>For something like handegg, you just need a ball really.

A ball
And cleats
And a $200 helmet
And at least $100 in armor
And literally 100 people to fill the rosters of both teams
And a 120 yard long field, with every yard marked by chalk
And at least a dozen referees to grind the goddamn game to a halt with subjective, micromanaging calls because Roger Goodell is a faggot.

There is no harder sport to be a competitive amateur in than American football.

>>39526087

Never crossed my mind, but you're right. At least for distance running. There aren't any competitions for amateur sprinting or some shit unless you're on a college track and field team.

>Wut i have a 36" vertical leap

As measured how? If correct, that would literally put you over two standard deviations above the mean. That you can do that while fat is even more impressive. Usually the fatter guys, even in the NFL, have slightly lower vertical leaps (upper 20s for some linemen as opposed to the upper 30s and lower 40s you can find in the fastest players).

You would be so naturally fast that it would take consistent, dedicated, incredibly laziness for you not be able to get a D1 scholarship for many sports.

Dont forgrt that like 99.5% of r/powerlifting dont even total 1000 so comparing dyels proportionally i think plg has a pretty good team.

>>39526125
So what you're saying is that I should just get the cheapest one I can because unless I'm elite the bar won't matter at all as long as its strong enough?

>>39526174
Wtf are you serious?? There's a 36" desk at work that i can easily jump onto from a standing position any day of the week.

I never knew i had any special skills.
I weigh 185 and am not strong (1070 total)

>>39526180
I was just counting active posters.

I'm sure most people who see plg threads dont total 1000 either, like myself

>>39526148

If they do, it's kept REALLY on the down low. Some guy a few years back got a suspension because the PGA wouldn't give him a therapeutic use exemption for testosterone when he had been diagnosed as low test.

Tiger Woods was most likely on steroids. He went from being Urkel (and still hitting it over 300 yards with clubs from goddamn 1996) to swole as fuck in a year or two. He never failed a test, not one that was made public anyway. And if he did, they would burn the fucking results and probably shoot any tester than knew of the failure.

Otherwise, most of the drug stuff is either stupid bullshit, or non-strength "performance enhancers." They have bans on certain "stimulants." Including cocaine and shit you find in some allergy medications. Dustin Johnson is known to have failed several tests for cocaine, though was never severely punished because there is no way cocaine could make you a BETTER golfer. Also, take a moment and think about how these retards want to test for allergy medication in a sport that is played balls deep in pollen. Fucking clowns.

The non-strength "performance enhancers" are nerve calming shit like "beta blockers" or whatever. To my knowledge, no one has failed a test for those, but they DO test for them. I am unaware of their exact testing procedures, like how they choose who to test.

Though I'm sure if, in an alternate universe where I was super bitching good at golf, I was on Tour, and they found out I could squat 550 lbs, they would be testing me every goddamn week.

>>39526195
Yeah but that shit is full blown e-stats probably calculated with retarded 1rm calculators and thereby meaningless

>>39526188

>Wtf are you serious?? There's a 36" desk at work that i can easily jump onto from a standing position any day of the week.


That is not how you measure vertical leap. That is measuring how high you can jump PLUS how far you can pull your feet up at the top of the jump.

To measure vertical leap, they'll use a "vert-tech" thingy to ascertain your "standing reach," then you jump and hit some plastic flag things on the vert-tech a few times and that will show how high you can reach at the top of your jump.

You subtract the latter from the former and you have your vertical leap.

>>39526198
>>39526203
hence I said
>from norses survey
not just
>the average plg total is

According to this
http://score.lifterstoolbox.com/index.php?onlyactive=0&showonly=1&country=0&ranking=0&weightclass=0&agecategory=0&raw=raw&genders=0

There are only 66 active /r/powerlifting members with a raw total >453 kg or 1000lbs

>>39526195

Those are in kg? Who the fuck here deadlifts 840 lbs?

>>39526202

To clarify about Tiger, they only really introduced testing AFTER he got swole. Before that, it never seemed to cross anyone's mind that being stronk would allow one to hit the ball harder.

Golfers aren't necessarily dumb, but they can have some insane tunnel vision sometimes.

>>39526228
Clearly retards whi respondes as if it were lbs

Lads two questions, I was going to buy stands with 20" arms rated to 300kg and no westside spacing.

Am I really going to regret not getting westside spacing?

300kg is fine right? What does that rule out? Rack pulls above 300kg?


If both of these are issues, looks like I'm paying £1000 for a rogue stand instead of £680 since I have no space at all for a cage.

The sound of an alarm clock shatteres the peaceful silence and pulled Lith from his somnambulous fog.
"Lithwald! It time for school!" Lith's mommy beckoned.
"Crikey its kangaroo tail tuesday!" Exclaimed Lith, thinking of the delicious lunch tray that awaited him later after algebra class. He struggled to pull his tights on, excitedly rushing down stairs to greet his smiling mommy and daddy.

His mom awaited him with a big bowl of Steve Irwin's Koala-O's.
"My FAVORITE" screamed Lith, retarded spittle flying uncontrollabky from his mouth and onto the floor.

"Im so proud of you son," Lith's dad said affectionately, "you are really blossoming into a slightly below average twink."
"And you're a real man of your word, and not a weasel at all! Why i bet in two more years you'll be able to bench 110kg!" Lith's mom added encouragingly.

"THANKS I LOVE YOU GUYS!" screamed Lith, retardedly shitting himself as he narrowly avoided choking on his cereal.
"We love you too son-" they replied in unison but by the time they finished the sentence Lith was out the door.

They both sighed and rubbed their heads, absentmindedly trying to relieve the stress that each day raising a GDE brings.

"He'll be fine... the boy has a good heart he just needs to learn to ignore bait and keep his word" yiur mom added before she dies tonight if you read this.

How can mundane creatures even compete

"Lith, Honey" my mother had called once more. "Come and get ya din dins Lith!". These were the words I heard charge up the halls of my living quarters, like a blazing inferno of bulls scattering across the wooden deck and dirty beige plaster walls.
I laid back in my chair, just concentrating on my breathing. I knew my time was close to up, I knew she expected me downstairs at that immediate moment, but... But I just couldn't move. It was as if all the muscles in my body had squeezed and contracted at that very moment, and I was a paralysed, lifeless corpse, confined and condemned to the support of my modern desk chair. My eyes scattered across the room, eagerly looking for an escape. My concentrstion faded in and out. My head was spinning, I was conscious but I wasn't alive.
That's when I heard the words that made my blood run cold. "Lith! Come down immediately or there will be no computer after 6 o'clock!". I had been sat, waiting, frustrated, out of my mind since the early hours of the morning, my gaze glued to the static glow of my monitor, waiting, waiting, waiting for a sign of life on plg. I knew the Americans weren't awake yet, but I didn't care. I wanted, no, I needed someone to post, I needed someone to break the silence. I refreshed the page. No new posts.
This is when the fiery charged words of my mothers hate filed voice intruded into my room once more. "I'm coming up to take away your computer, Lith!". At this point I didn't care. All hope was lost. I dimmed my monitor, shut my eyes and counted each foot step across the bare wooden flooring of my halls.

I have 3 questios for general autistic powerlifting community.

Why do you foam roll and stretch?
Why do you use bands and advanced recovering excercises.
Do you really take fatboy Greg Nuckols seriously?

>>39528447
I'm running twinks bench programming alongside squats and deads on c6w

>>39528534
does it worked? basically you used squat and deadlift of the original program and you used 3x intermedium of greg cuckols for 4 weeks?

>>39528635
Yes, it worked very well, hit massive PRs on squat and deadlift, and bench is progressing just fine. Make sure you eat and sleep enough though, it's a lot to get through in the first 2-3 weeks.

>>39528744
I think it's partially just trying harder too. When you pulled 430 a while back it didn't look like a true max.

And there's no way a grown adult male like you actually only could squat 325-330 before.

C6W is definitely good if you don't have form breakdown at high RPE though.

A true max is decided by a single neutron or proton. You probably lifted thousands of daltons less than your true max there.

Hi,
I am the >>39516929 guy who's been asking about madcow in the last thread. Based on the responses, I've decided not to do it.

Is some of the easier sheikos (#29) a sustainable alternative? I've thought that it's a lot more advanced routine, but some anon in the previous bread recommended it right away.

Main concern of mine - won't I waste a lot of progress on it? I get that advanced training plans are meant for progressing slower, but as a beginner I don't want to lose any potential gainz.

I'll be eternally grateful for responses, thx <3

well its a very good idea but ive planned only 6 week of strenght training then i will start a workout towards to bodybuilding with more volume soo i cant do this..

>>39529590
reduce the jumps, do like 5-7%, start higher, tweak it, stop moaning and looking for someone to just tell you what to do, find what works for you

like 700+

>>39529552
Take a deload week and then start a new cycle. C6W is only 6 weeks if you decide to test your maxes, which is optional.

>>39529590
The total daily volume is higher than, say, on SS. The weekly volume is higher than on SS advanced novice. The top intensity is higher, though the average intensity is lower.

There's a reason I asked. I've been consistently eating around a 300 surplus for 7-8 months now and my bf% has gone from 10-11ish to 14-15ish. I imagine if you ate at a higher suplus you'd just get fat as fuck.

Do you think Jenks has a chance at Tom Martin's wilks?

>>39529832
>150mg test
why even take it if it's that little

>>39529848
considering he was 128kg this morning hes got a long way to come down to his weight class

the guys a freak and a ridiculously hard worker, and i know what gear hes running and its top quality, all the tools are there

>>39529832
only 150? Thats like TRT dose.

>>39529875
because its actually 150mg and not underdosed

still a massive boost on natty production

>>39529882
only need it to keep normal function, let the deca work and not get a ton of sides from the unbound test

>>39529659
How come? SS is basically 3x5 everything+warm up sets, while the working weight is basically a new 5rm every workout or two. Therefore, isn't it two sets more each lift compared two madcow? Or am I missing something important?

>>39529637
Thanks, that sounds more reasonable.
Also, I am looking for someone to tell me what to do because I can't find what's working for me and have no way to tell whether I am overtraining/not doin enough etc. I thought that's what programing and more experienced people are for, guiding uneducated fucks.

>>39529883
Do you notice any mental benefits from steroids?
Does gear permanently fuck over hormone levels?

>>39529883
What do you mean boost? It doesn't add to your natural testosterone levels, it replaces it.

>Is some of the easier sheikos (#29) a sustainable alternative?
#29 is just one preparation block, they're supposed to be ordered in 2-4 blocks so you do actual training--->Peak and test maxes. Buy the app, it's laid out easier there.

>>39529919
I guess he takes deca for gains, but apparently deca fucks over natty t production, so he takes t to replace it.

>>39529907
not really, maybe i push myself harder due to not wanting to waste it

production will come back when you stop, for a minority it might not but thats the risk you take

>>39529919
i meant its higher than natty levels so a boost to performance etc im well aware how exogenous hormones work

>>39529947
Do you actually feel different? I'm on trt (150mg test cyp) and feel no different.

>>39529947
Are there any books/sites about roids?
Can I trust steroid.com?

>>39529964
enhanced athlete channel on youtube
dave croslands channel on youtube, or his site http://croslands.org.uk/

>>39529959
in what way? hard to quantify

>>39529943
Thanks, now it makes a lot more sense to me, I was wondering about how you track progress.

Yeah, I guess I might buy the app eventually, once I am sure I'll run the programme.

>>39529998
Thanks!

>>39529998
>in what way
Idk like more energy.

>>39530062
well with increased glycogen retention its kind of hard not to

however the more weight i gain the worse my apnoea gets so i need to get that sorted

>Talking about 160kg like it's a big deal

Bruv, it's not even a big deal in the junior age class in the smaller weight classes.

And stop with your retarded maximum legal grip benching, it is literally sacrificing strength and joint health for a shorter stroke. It's not worth it for most people, especially raw lifters.

>INB4 what are is your bench
167.5kg in the 93kg weight class as a sub junior and I do pinkie on the ring as the absolute max because of a 6'1" wingspan, and I don't even give my bench much attention.

God damn, why are you even a fucking trip fag?
