Hi Isley,

I just want to let you know that your IPF autism is rubbing off really hard on me despite barely even being a powerlifter.

Now, what size IPF shirt do you have? I want to order one but I am about 10 kg heavier than you and definitely less muscular so I want it to fit me right.

Isley, I don't really have anything to ask I just have a stupid sense of humour and thought it would be funny if everyone started to quote this post saying Isley, or Hi Isley, so I made this post to join in on my theoretical meme squad.

what belt do you guys use? is a shitty $20 walmart one good enough? or should i get those belts that are leather and even all around?

Holy reddit thread kek:

>Politics of the Gym

>If we don't reflect, we stagnate as a sport.

>I recently joined a secret facebook group dedicated to leftist powerlifters. We talk about soviet physical culture, alternative sport theories, and our abstract visions of what powerlifting could be. It's such a niche thing, but it seemed so appropriate to me.

>It got me wondering about the social and political composition of typical powerlifting gyms or powerlifting groups. In my experience, hyper-masculinity and social darwinism rule the day. Most are white, conservative men. But maybe that's just where I live. The danger, in my opinion, is in assuming powerlifting as politically neutral simply because no one talks about politics.

>Does your gym actively seek to encourage outside participation, or is it invite-only (a la Westside)? Do women often feel uncomfortable or intimidated in your gym? Is there a general political consensus among members, or is it relatively pluralistic? If the latter, are there strict rules against political discourse?

>>39655550
your grip is not locking the bar in place
fgts in /plg/ cant even grip a bar properly for deadlift

So /plg/ how do I figure out what the weak link in my DL is ? I have a feeling my hams/glutes are weak because I did halfsquats for a while and my quads are still pretty big. Since I do real squats to parallel both my Squat and DL have had great progress but I kinda want to speed up that process even more. So am I right in assuming that doing halfsquats for too long has left me with kinda strong quads and weak glutes/hamstrings or is that assumption wrong ? Also are there more quad dominant DL variations that could confirm my suspicion ?

>>39655466
1. lifting since young teenage years
2. bulgarian style training - he picks a lift or 2 and goes for small pr's every day - the key is low volume
3. extremely hard work and fortitude from being a d1 wrestler

>>39655671
i assume low volume only works because he already has enough size to make use of his potential. idk tho

>>39655674
i said they were sloppy lad
and its a dead stop by the time i start pulling again
and my conventional form which i already know is shit wasnt the issue im asking about lad

>>39655652
yeah, I'm ugly and very autistic.

>>39655694
No, there is no reason your sumo should automatically be a better option than your conventional.

You do however, suck shit at deadlifts in general. If you unironically do shitty reps like that, you might as well not have done them.

>>39655657
i mean you will always be a weak fgt because you are a stupid fgt. you kids are weak as fuck because you are stupid as fuck. learn how to grip a barbell properly before you deadlift.

>>39655479
Have you compared vid to vid?
It's kinda weird that you didn't notice any change. Maybe you need a little more time and reps. I don't really want to say that you'll never be able to get the knees further out at this stage.

Do you have the same issue with knees out even if the bar is higher? I'd like you to try block pulls and see how those feel.

>>39655690
nope, when i started lifting a few months in i squatted every day for a month bulgarian style and went from 255 to 315

yeah they werent even planned

>>39655719
you sound very smart
never lost a dead to grip tho
thanks for your consideration lad

>>39655749
>Have you compared vid to vid?
might have been a slight difference but hard to tell, it could have just been the different angles
didnt feel like i could get into any better of a postion tho,
even if i could get positioning
its just the strain off the ground feels really weak, i get that it should be harder off the ground but still, if i was to only get an extra 5 kg or something i dont even think it would be worth it for how it feels

>Do you have the same issue with knees out even if the bar is higher? I'd like you to try block pulls and see how those feel.
never tried, ill do that next time and see because Tbh i think off the ground is off the menu

do you sumo yourself?

>>39655922
you lost those attempts in your second webm at 180 due to grip. why bother trying to help the stupid and weak. they just want to make noise about being stupid and weak, not actually improve their intelligence and lifts.

learn how to lockout your deadlifts and your off the floor pull will get better. my grandmother grips a barbell properly yet you cannot, doing meme reps proud as a dumb sonofabitch.

>>39655922
Yes, but I didn't really have the same struggle as you getting into sumo. It was ok-ish to begin with and has since improved.
>off the ground
How strong is your front squat compared to your HB or LB?
I know I told you earlier to move your feet in, but you replied that you made it more conventional. Just for the record, wider stances naturally limits the amount of external rotation you can have - you're bound to get valgus. Are you sure the narrower stance didn't allow you to externally rotate more?
Also, if you're trying to get your hips as low as possible, don't. You want them high (not stiff-leg high) and close, not low and close.

>>39656090
im sure your grandmother is good at gripping an ol rod lad lol

>>39656090
>front squat
no thanks
cant really do them anyway
done ssb squats the other day tho with lmao48% of comp max for 3x 10 and it destroyed me, not used to those either Tbh
although my high bar and low bar werent that much different

>Are you sure the narrower stance didn't allow you to externally rotate more?
ill try the close stance again, i was just trying to get to a more true sumo which maybe i shouldnt jump into but its not like my feet are touching the plates anyway

>if you're trying to get your hips as low as possible, don't.
yeah i was probably trying to get lower to get more vertical but Tbh the vid doesnt show them as low as i thought

i also hate how the overhand fingers rub up the leg

>>39656083

TO TRY AND RESIST IT IS PURELY FUTILE.

I AM COMING FOR: Y O U

>>39656263
Oh, well the SSB (or at least FS) will help you get stronger off the floor.

I find, at least, that a wide stance sumo demands more mobility and flexibility than a closer stance.
>not touching the plates
No, but your feet are wider than your knees would be if you got them farther out, as far as I can tell. I'd suggest you strive for vertical shins for the time being (see JP Cauchi's vid for this).

It's fine to go low if you do it to tense up, but it's important that you know that your hips aren't supposed to be as low as possible for the actual pull.

>>39656411

Isley said I would squat a single at 385 today. I did it but it was very hard. It was a PR, up from 365. This was done after Candito week 4 day 3. Gonna go for 4-5 reps on week 5, rest a week, and then go for a 400 squat

A bit. I was scheduled to work up to x5 @9 on paused deads and do two backoffs, I did the top set which was really easy, did 455x5 unpaused and then went back down to 380 for the paused backoffs.

Plus rows, slingshot and a couple sets of snatch sldl.

Really voluminous sessions atm.

High pin squats are fun as fuck lads

Unironically considering conjugate as a raw natty lads. Just want to max on memelifts and do some bodybuilding. What memelifts should I pick for actual raw carryover?

>>39657569
Closegrip bench, opposite stance deadlifts, front squats, highbar squats, dumbbell bench, weighted dips, rows, maybe squats with right knee wraps, and idk there's probably more but idk

>>39657569

Nice. Also yeah, SSB is good. Trying to think of some others, OHP and slingshot bench come to mind, as well as leg press for squats and rack pulls for deadlifts

>>39657696
Mike Hedleskey recommends rotating three squat and dead variants for ME every other week. I'm looking at: comp pull, block pull, SLDL, and comp squat, SSB, aaaand paused squat? I don't want to rotate ten million bench variants but there are just so many, it's hard to pick three or four.

>>39657696
upper- flat bench press, cgbp, Spoto press, JM press, slingshot, 1-2-3-board press, paused press, bands+chains, flloor press.

Lower- low bar squat, high bar squat, squat w/ bands+chains, bar variations, good mornings, paused squats, conventional DL, sumo DL, deficits, block pulls, rack pulls,

For bench, I would go for closegrip, for the overload factor and tricep strength gains, dumbbell bench for chest hypertrophy, comp bench for, well comp practice, and either Spoto press or closegrip bench depending on whether your triceps or pecs/ability to stay tight limit you

>>39657767
Why does slingshot overload so well? Only started using it a week ago, but I can tell I'm a lot more exhausted from slingshot work.

>>39657800
It overloads so well because it's practically like a low strength bench shirt. Let's you handle weight you wouldn't be unable to handle otherwise

>>39657444
don't worry, our "buddy" is gonna have a lot of "fun" when we "wash" his "car"

>>39657824
right, but aren't you effectively just benching less weight, since the slingshot is assisting you?

>>39657863
that's technically every overload though

>>39657863
It provides no assistance at the lockout, you're holding a heavy weight. It's a neural connection thing.

>>39657874
interesting, thanks

>>39657871
are there other overload techniques? I've only trained with vanilla lifts.

>>39657889
any close variation of a lift that allows you to use more weight than usual. typically shortened rom lifts or bands/chains

>>39657889
Knee wraps on squats, heavy unracks, block/rack pulls/heavy holds, very high pin squats, board presses, and so on

>>39657642
I feel like your squat would look a lot better if you let your knees travel forward more

>>39657900
>>39657907
Would trap bar deads be decent for overload, or is it too different of a movement?

>>39657970
Yes. They decrease wrist pain with squatting and stabilize the wrists in bench which can add 1-3 pounds to your bench

>>39657979
They might be good for getting the feel of holding heavy weight, and moving the weight up. Plus they're pretty good mass builders, and you're more upright so they're less taxing on your lower back. Never done a trap bar deadlift so I can't tell you

>>39657982
Not the person you replied to. But 1-3 pounds? Do people even care about that little of weight?

>>39658008
Yes. If you have a 314lb bench and your state's record is 315lbs, wouldn't you wanna put on some wrist wraps so you can bench 316 and take the record?

Besides, the fact that they alleviate wrist pain from squatting, and even some from benching if your wrists roll backwards is enough of a reason to buy em

Oh. The inconsistent judging, the targeted drug testing instead of something even handed, the allowance of sumo, going full autism over logos and equipment certification bullshit.

Targeted testing is better. Idgaf if mr 7th place at worlds is on drugs if the podium isn't tested

>going full autism over logos and equipment certification bullshit
This is one of the few sports where your clothes can actually help you. Other sports that are super reliant on your clothes, like swimming, are similarly obsessive about what is and isn't allowed, and others where your gear is your sport, like archery, have equipment divisions. Hell, even professional racing has formulas, limiting the performance of the cars. Not to mention exaclty the same autism over who can put their logos where.

Actually, every pro sport gets in a tiffy about advertising logos. The only difference in the IPF is that we all follow the same rule book from worlds to regionals.

Take the period between face and book out, fucking spam filters

The retard judges can't even read their own rule book. A quote:
>Causes for Disqualification of a Deadlift: ...Allowing the bar to return to the platform without maintaining control with both hands, i.e. releasing the bar from the palms of the hand.
>i.e. releasing the bar from the palms of the hand.

Yet that dude was redlighted for not setting the bar down gently, which isn't the goddamn rule. The rule is that two hands must be on the bar until it comes to rest back on the platform. Making matters worse, just in that thread there are examples of people AT THE SAME MEET that did the same thing and got white lights.

Because they have absolute morons judging lifts, and don't have extensive video replay (that, in this millennium, is a trifling to set up) like an organization that wants to be taken seriously as a sport might.

>Targeted testing is better. Idgaf if mr 7th place at worlds is on drugs if the podium isn't tested

I'm talking more about the out-of-season drug testing that exists at least partly to target people they don't like. Testing simply the top ten percent at every meet in order to save costs would be just fine. The out-of-competition testing doesn't eliminate drug use (and you're a fucking fool if you think it does), it just makes it so that only those with the connections and piles of money to get the real good shit in order to dodge the tests get to succeed. It makes the sport less inclusive, which drives money away.

They need to test broader and more evenly.

This is an issue of each individual nation's anti-doping practices and resources rather than something the IPF can control. It is precisely like this in every sport.

hey cuties

noob here, started 3 months ago and seeing nice progress on lifts

but recently i started getting moderate pain during squats just before locking out on top

is it because i push hips forward too much or too fast?

im getting more and more confident with my form but still, someoen would probably point out many mistakes like bar path being all iffy, going too much in front on the way down and not correct bracing

pic related where i have pain, basically bottom end of my spine.

Also outside of lifting weights i have small knee pain when i squat with no weights like when i want to pick something up or shit

Doesnt occur during heavy loads at gym tho

thoughts ?

I played pro golf for some years. The USGA, while it does have a list of approved equipment, it is not exclusive. It has particular standards for equipment, acknowledges equipment known to meet these standards, but doesn't forbid anyone from using equipment not on that list. They also don't get too bitchy about players at the US Open being walking billboards.

You are just a stupid IPF mark that doesn't see the problem with the bullshit way they do things. I have a PERFECTLY acceptable Rogue belt. 4 inches, 10 mm thick, pretty standard composition and shit. Solely because Rogue has better things to do than play penny ante games with some small potatoes lifting circus, I'd have to spend $100 on a essentially identical BestBelt because they DID pay the bullshit certification fees if I wanted to do an IPF affiliated meet (which I intend to do in Columbus in the spring). My belt also has "ROGUE" on the back of it, which the IPF would have throw a tissy over for no good reason.

>Actually, every pro sport gets in a tiffy about advertising logos

Team sports are a bit more pissy because of the team nature. Even they aren't as anal retentive as the IPF is in this regard. Literally EVERY other individual sport (golf, boxing, MMA, etc) of any consequence realized it's bigger participation and therefore money to remove the stick from their ass over it.

Fun fact, two of my friends were reffing that day

Either way, I spoke to one of them and he admitted he made a mistake that day. It happens, referees make mistakes. And it wouldn't have mattered if Kevin hadn't failed his other two lifts - once for dropping and the other for missing. It's more his fault for missing two and getting one bad call than the refs for making one mistake out of the 100+ lifts they judged that day.

All human referees make mistakes and there are no technological solutions yet.

Video replay would ruin the flow of already very long competitions

More OCT should be done. I agree.
>piles of money to get the real good shit in order to dodge the tests
You don know this is a meme right?

>>39660227
>Video replay would ruin the flow of already very long competitions
no it wouldnt.
You would only use it on very close situations and use an additional ref on the side.

>>39660434
They have a jury for that

>>39660223
Sorry, what I meant didn't really have anything to do with that, but rather the whole of out of contest testing and so on being an issue of each nations anti-doping body and not in fact something that can be controlled by the international federation, like in all sports.

>>39660227

That's not a "mistake," you fucking idiot. A mistake is getting a call wrong because things happened fast and human eyes are only so sharp. Like MAYBE misjudging squat depth because most competitors are trying to bounce right out of the hole AND not go any deeper than they need to.

Fucking up that deadlift call was a matter of deep-seated incompetence, to the point of not even knowing the goddamn rules they're supposed to be judging by. No legit sport employs refs that stupid.

>Video replay would ruin the flow of already very long competitions

This is a lazy bullshit cop out. It's the exact same shit they said about video review in baseball, and they were goddamn wrong then. And in baseball they need to actually stop the competition for a minute to review. There is no need for that in powerlifting. The video can be reviewed while the bar is being loaded for the next lifter, and before the lifter in question gives his next lift.

>You don know this is a meme right?

Yeah, because Russia wasn't spending millions of Rubles to dodge WADA testing for the past decade plus.

>>39660211
do you do a lot of stretching/mobility/prehab/rollouts?

>>39660470

anything you would recommend ?

>>39660461
>to the point of not even knowing the goddamn rules they're supposed to be judging by

>No legit sport employs refs that stupid.
They aren't employed. They are volunteers. The only thing they are paid for is travel so they don't have to *pay* to referee.

Also national federations simply do not have th money for video replay. The IPF should have the money - for worlds - but you can forgot any competition that isn't world championships.

> because Russia wasn't spending millions of Rubles to dodge WADA testing for the past decade plus.
HAHAHAHA EXACTLY!! And do you know what drugs they used? Anavar and oral turinabol, phased out before competition to pass the current tests. That's what millions of rubles got. That and the FSB to secretly open urine containers and water down the dirty urine and replace it with salt, nescafe granules and water. Designer steroids simply don't exist. NOT EVEN THE RUSSIANS do that. And that's with a centralised, state sponsored, doping program. Read the part 2 of the mclaren report.

>>39660475

>>39660488

>They know the rules; I know them personally remember

That just makes me doubt your objectivity more. Let's review.

That lifter was disqualified for not controlling the barbell on the way down. That means AT LEAST TWO JUDGES employed* by this IPF affiliated meet said he did not control the barbell on the way down according to the rule book.

The rule says, once again, that a deadlift may be disqualified because the lifter allowed "the bar to return to the platform without maintaining control with both hands, i.e.releasing the bar from the palms of the hand."

"i.e." means to clarify, explain or to say another way. It does not mean to offer a non-inclusive example like "e.g." does. This means that a deadlift may ONLY be disqualified for failure to control the barbell if a lifter doesn't grip the bar with both hands until it comes to rest on the platform. The lifter in question gripped it for a goddamn three count after it came to rest. Either the judges don't know the goddamn rulebook, or they willfully sabotaged this lifter, and I'm TRYING to cut them some slack and just assume overwhelming incompetence.

*Employ means, among other things, "To use." As in "To employ a strategy." It doesn't necessarily mean that someone was paid to do a job. I can see where the confusion arose, but ultimately, not only are you the one in the wrong for not knowing English words, but it's completely besides the point because you have to distract from the issue at hand because these judges you are trying to defend are indefensible.

>>39660488

>Also national federations simply do not have th money for video replay.

Maybe YOUR national federation. In America, literally everyone at the meet has a phone capable of taking quality video. There are also many laptops, most with built in cameras, that could be used. And a goddamn dedicated camera good enough for the purpose and a tripod MIGHT be a few hundred dollars altogether, and it's not like they'd have to buy it for every meet. Cameras are non perishable.

>>39660494

Livestreaming requires some extra internet infrastructure, the scope and cost of which I am not familiar with.

Local video review takes an iPhone, of which there are literally dozens of at any given meet.

>>39660590
livestreaming to twitch requires you to have ~5mbps upload for nice 720p quality. in current times literally anyone can stream

He graduated with a physics degree where he got thirds, couldn't get a job, and now he's going to coding school.

>>39660930
>implying going to school for programming is ever a bad idea

Programming jobs cushiest jobs

>>39660944
I'm saying he spent 4 years on a physics degree that got him nowhere desu.

Thanks!

I'm still not sure how you spend four years on a legit science degree and have NOJOBS.

He must have been the worst physics student ever, AND the worst interview ever, AND not wanted to move or some shit to accommodate any job ever.

Then I guess he just wasted all of his daddies money.
What annoys me is he did nothing but slack off at his excel spreadsheet job and I tried multiple times to tell him maybe if he worked hard at it and did more than the minimum he'd get somewhere.
He refused and then a few weeks later when he came to believe he was to be fired he quit and has been unemployed for months since.

>>39661045
He still has it together better than a ton of people at 24. Have you seen the average 24 year old American?

>>39661045

Cuckols programs fucking SUCK

My exposure to people in real life is a little skewed and isn't a true sample.

I'm 23 and just starting my degree. It could always be worse.

REALLY new here, wasn't there supposed to be something about a webm from you?

Was it supposed to be you pulling 4playt?

>>39661122
That was probably just switching to sumo, desu. People with good squats and shit deadlifts often have more luck with sumo.

>>39661131

Switching to sumo is admitting defeat and it tells a lot about that persons character.

Fuck off you idiot manchild entering a dead end public sector job. You understand nothing about the working world or what my role was like. You are an idiot and failure will forever follow you. Enjoy the fact that dating amber is the hihg point of your life. When it falls apart you will be left with nothing.

>>39661045
Have you never had a bullshit deadend job before? It's clear when you're just a wagekek to be used to make management richer and when you actually have a shot at moving to management.

>>39659699
Not very likely since he's from Iceland.

Isley, You stronk, but you look like a frog.

deadlifts off a block or mats would be better
