/plg/ - Powerlifting General

please can we have a powerlifter in the OP next time

>>40026288
never

>>40026278

if there was any powerlifter that was the opposite of Mike T it would probably be Rubish

guys the last PLG thread that got hijacked by trappy-chan, is that the real trappy? is that why he's such a meme, because he shitposts?

>>40026316
Zahir is a good fit too.

>>40026330
Just filter him, it works like a charm.

>>40026330

>>40026337
>>40026345
neither of you answered my question though kek

>>40026358
She is the real Trappy, yes.

>>40026337

Zahir shakes, but his form is still polished. I feel like Rubish gets through every made lift with pure aggression

>>40026400
I was thinking more that he's extremely emotional and aggressive while Mickey T keeps his autist face on through everything.

Been toying with my deadlift technique, trying this new setup atm, feels quite good, takes away a great deal of stress from my lower back, while not making lockout harder

Idk but you have to keep in mind the drugs. Eddie Hall can blast whatever he wants while Blaine Sumner is either natty or if he's using PEDs, he has to do so within a certain limit to pass drug tests.
Comparing the untested to the tested doesn't give you a good picture imho.

>>40026755
Yeah but they're both enhanced. I just wanna know whether he could do it.

When benching, what cues do you use to get the weight up?

Push up
Push back
Push back and up
Push up and back

I'm only thinking about pushing up. Should my press and a more "back" action to it?

>>40026821
Only took fifteen competitions...

Tfw someone thinks a poverty 180 equipped is unnatty

>>40026814
Bench?

>>40026850
I just keep my back tight and the pressing takes care of itself.

Seems like rounded thoracic is getting more and more popular. Certainly made the lift look easy.

You have to lock the shoulders back at the top though, no?

>>40026814

What were your other attempts? Why do you think you failed, just went too heavy?

Congrats on the 180 tho :3

>>40026850

Push "back" then up. Not straight back ofc, but think about pushing more diagonal rather than straight up at the start.

Is there a bigger meme?

I want to try the rack pulls above the knee for traps meme. I'm doing 5/3/1, is it a better fit for squat or dead day? I do dead assistance on squat day and vice verca.

>>40026898
did what? bench in pounds?

>>40026920

Please answer this:

Is Russell Orrhi natty?

>>40026755

Please back up this meme. What limit? What drugs, and when?

Ps. you will be wrong.

Probably just a GBPF member who doesn't like you wishing for the best

Would IPF accept if you wore a weightlifting singlet from Adidas or Nike?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l84vmuuuHRg

I always wondered - this guys goal is obviously to build a very strong bench.
And he made it to elite levels.

But he never used any of the powerlifting form - he could bench a lot more even if he did.
It's really weird why he doesn't. Maybe it's a personal preference not to "cheat" but he could at least arch a little for better activation and also safety, no?

>>40026918
Why not do lower pulls and have them be productive training while also putting meat on your back?

>>40026960
makes me laugh when people think its just a case of 'taking under a certain amount'

its precision timing of drugs with no ester

>>40026968
USAPL probably wouldn't care.

What can I use and what can I not use on a Raw competition?

>>40027029

You can use:
Belt
T-shirt
Singlet
"Athletic" "shoe"
Wrist wraps
Knee sleeves

You can't use:
A shirt that goes past the elbow
Knee wraps
Any kind of supportive suit

>>40026983
I respect him for not cheating

bullshit like this is just cringeworthy and has nothing to do with actual strength https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xkNgEiz79k

>>40026987
How can you precisely time a biological process? And what about OOC testing? Also, tren base etc. will still leave tren metabolites, it has to be human hormones and then crossing the fingers and hope they don't do a CIR test.

>>40026985
I suppose. I am doing pause deads already, I just was hoping I could have some fun building my babby traps without impeding my main lifts

what's a good program that's
>3x/week
>high volume

>>40027045
You can't get that in raw bench. And if she did full power she'd get demolished in the deadlift.

The answer is to get rid of eq bench only or to implement a women's bar so they have to grip closer.

>>40026278
why the fuck does he look like an ungodly shaky mess?

is it poor shoulder mobility? Or does he just have an exeptionally weak core/inability to brace?

>>40026983
how the fuck do you get so strong on the bench with that bodyweight ? huge respect for this guy.

>>40027063
do bench like squat. bench your upper arm has to go below parallel

and yeah, all wide stance bullshit I dont consider legit either. wide grip bench bs, wide stance squat bs, sumo "deadlift" shit

>>40027077
>weak core
>pulls 855 beltless

>>40027105
If you had any inside knowledge of powerlifting at all you'd know that was physiologically impossible for some people, on top of encouraging shoulder-damaging flat back benching for others.

Please can people stop commenting on the supposed flaws on a sport they don't partake in?

>>40027050
Power shrugs?

>>40027119
>physiologically impossible for some people
how is it impossible. when you stand and your arms hang from your body they are already below parallel. yeah there are some people who can't even walk. for them it's physiologically impossible to squat. does not mean the lift should be changed

>encouraging shoulder-damaging flat back benching
a shit excuse. you could argue just as well that bench inherently encourages shoulder-damaging arm flare due to biomechanics. still, most people don't bench that way exactly because it is shoulder-damaging

>>40027047
ask the coaches, the athletes have little to do with it

powerlifting drug tests arent like olympic ones

well they're both by WADA and in Rio they couldn't even get enough people to escort the athletes between the platform/track/etc. to the testing area. How are they different? They don't even OOC test Usain Bolt.

How bad is nuckols programming for squats and deadlift?

I'm planning to run 3x bench with squat 2x int med and dead 2x int

>>40026278

Damn

Imagine what he could squat if he didn't waste energy walking it back a half mile.

>>40027446

It's not bad, I've certainly gotten stronger running exactly what you're planning on running. I like that it's customizable.

>>40027446
The squat and dead ones seem to rely on talentchaddery to an extent. They're okay. The 3x benches are all good.

>>40026852

>Tfw someone thinks a poverty 180 equipped is unnatty

These sort of sanctimonious prats needs to make themselves look busy in order to guarantee their jobs.

Also, they probably recall your previous bench presses, and suspect shenanigans got you to 180 kg.

What should I make with two pounds of beef chuck lads?

>>40027162
Like Rippletits says? Maybe. The pins on the rack is kinda awkward. The bottom one is too low for power shrugs but good for rack pulls, and the one above is too high for both.
Do you think either would fit better on the squat or dead day? My bench day comes after dead, so I don't know if I should keep my upper back fresh for that?

Learn the correct names, faggot

Been doing SS for 3-4 months and its going great. Lifts are going up.

Wondering if cardio after workouts or on rest days will interfere with recovery? Thinking of only light cardio for the mood gains.

Does it interfere with recovery? Recovery is a bit of a problem at the moment but i am just wondering about if light cardio can be "active recovery" or whatever.

Stupid noob question but i hope someone can give me a reasonable answer on this.

>>40027772

European cows are less delicious than American cows because they are much leaner animals. The opposite is true for American and European pigs.

>>40027774

Some low intensity cardio on a rest day is a great idea, lad.

But he needs all that room to pitch the bar past his midfoot so he can try-hard squat-morning it up.

>>40027866
sup dino

>>40027885

To be fair, his squat mornings have gotten significantly better since he switched to lowbar. If he got more quad strength and worked on keeping his hips closer to the bar, he'd be able to squat so much more and it would look so much better.

>>40026462
Risk red lights for shoulder position at lockout, no?

>>40027910

Ehhhhh, I think we're all just so used to the dramatic shoulder pullback we all do to sell the lift to the refs... Dunno, could see it going either way; would like to see a direct profile view.

>>40027903

I kind of hope he never stops having such ugly squats. I enjoy watching them.

>>40027087
>>40026983
I remember reading comments way back.
Now he's been training for 20 years or something, and he did join a powerlifting club and received some coaching couple years back, but I think he quit.

>>40027955
I guess he simply doesn't like the powerlifting ways of doing it.

I mean, if you have been training for like 15 years and then join a club where a coach wants to revamp your technique, you will probably not appreciate it too.

>>40027774
>Thinking of only light cardio for the mood gains.
Good idea. Can't argue with feeling good.

>>40028097
>where a coach wants to revamp your technique, you will probably not appreciate it too.
lol going to a coach to tell him you are uncoachable

>>40028156
I don't think he specifically went to a coach.
He probably joined some club to see what's going on, realized that most people will tell him to arch more and shit as recommendation and then realized that he won't get anything out.

>>40028179
awful lot of hypotheticals here

>>40028212
The only hypothetic here is that he doesn't like the powerlifting way of bench pressing.

And that is merely a fact derived from another fact, which is that he has been benching for 20 years, aiming for strength gains, yet doesn't apply the usual powerlifting measurements.

I don't even know what you are trying to argue.

Opinions on the gofundmes appearing now for IPF Worlds? An excerpt from a US lifer's gofundme I saw recently

>Unfortunately, all costs going to IPF Worlds 2017 come out of the lifters pocket. This means I am responsible for the meet fee ($375), team uniform, airfare, lodging, food, etc

Why is the meet fee $375? Is this for the IPF or USAPL and why is the team uniform not provided?

>>40026956

>>40028416
>Why is the meet fee $375?
Because they can charge that much and people will still pay it.

What are the best leverages for behind the back deadlifts? Long arms and torso?

>>40028097
I can't remember specifically what he said about the stuff, but it's either in the comments on that vid or one of the later vids.

>>40028588
do you mean overhead or regular?

All seriousness I'm a "new senior" no one's ever heard of and there were only about 5 seniors there at all.

I quite enjoyed being tested. Chatted shit with my tester about Russians and Ukrainians for 15 minutes, did an easy piss and I can piss on command.

>>40028416
The meet fee is venue hire, and the cost of flying out all the refs, officials , technical people and their equipment and the testers and their accommodation, and exec and their hotel stay

It's one thing for the athletes to pay to go, it's another to expect the officals to pay to do it too.

It's the same fucking deal. It's an event for everyone, including them.

>>40029101
what do they get out of it tho?

>>40029101
Then why don't you stop competing and only spot/load at meets? It's the same thing so you don't miss out on anything.

>>40029166
>>40029182

I assume they enjoy the sport, why else would they be a part of it at all?

You can enjoy a sport without competing, you know.

>>40029101
>>40029226
At the local level that's why they do it.

But it's actually hard work. No one sane would pay thousands of pounds to be TC at powerlifting world's.

>>40029226
>Powerlifting is fun therefore everything surrounding it is fun.
It's called giving back to the sport you ungrateful cunt. The spotters/refs/officials don't get anything out of it but someone needs to do it so we can have competitions.

>>40029226
yeah i would spot because i like the sport and ill help out
but if im going to have to pay for the pleasure to spot then yeah just let someone else do it and ill worry just about competing , which is what everyone else would think aswell and then we have no one spotting or refing

i dont know what you are finding ahrd about this

>>40029226
The only parts of powerlifting that are fun are coaching and competing. And maybe commentating.

Refereeing is boring. Sitting on the tech desk is boring. Entering in what people lifted is boring. Spotting/loading is hard and boring but you do it so other people can enjoy competing.

You are, even from this perspective, visible hunched over in your end position.
I don't know the IPF rules, but if i read the replies correctly that is what people are calling out and that is what people think would cause red lights.

>>40029399
>pretty sure I was locked out brehs
some refs can be really picky about it lad
ive been 2 to 1 red lighted for shoulders not back when i thought they were ok

they seem to be more fussy about conventional tho from what ive seen for whatever reason

>>40029472
>>40029488
well, ofc in comp I'm gonna stress the lockout more.
But since I've been recovering from a nasty lower back chronic injury, I'm being as careful as I can and not taking unnecessary risks

dont get me wrong i like the look of of as long as the shoulders come back

I've been lifting properly for about 8 months. I plan to cut for 3 and then see if I want to go for a 4th month. Thanks for the response.

Hello /plg/,

I have been stuck at a 450lb deadlift for over a year. Have been doing 5/3/1, following the 3/5/1 with first-set-last mainly, but have not been getting much progress. Trying to get up to a 500lb deadlift.

Current Stats:
>5'7
>170lbs
>Bench: 260x1
>Squat: 375x1
>DL: 450x1

>>40030526

Yeah you're still new enough that you definitely can gain strength, it would probably be minimal though. Look into beyond 5/3/1 and some of the other variations. The barebones BBB 5/3/1 is pretty terrible.

What is keeping you from a 4 plate squat?
What is lagging behind for the 3 plate bench?
Use rack pulls dead lifts off blocks you could try deads with snatch grip off blocks using 50-60% if your tm to try and break your threshold
I feel like with where your strength is at you should be able to handle more weight on your squat and bench

How is barebones BBB terrible
It was a good program in its time and i ran it and saw some pretty nominal strength gains
You could try saying although BBB was a good start for Wendler, his programs in Beyond 5/3/1 are much better and have a lot more thought put into them
He has a 28 week program in the book that's good for a lifter with stats like yours as it will ease you into heavier lifts
But to the anon who's seeking advice the more you lift look less at how you program and more on how your body feels the weights will come just don't feel obligated to the numbers

>>40030636
why did he steal the 66ers slinglet Tbh?

>>40030667

When I say barebones I mean the original program that has 1x per week frequency and the monthly deload. It's bad because there are so many other options out there that are just better for powerlifting and getting stronger. 1x per week frequency for each lift with high volume each training session is far from ideal for a natural lifter, especially a powerlifter.

I also personally dislike AMRAP sets.

Worked up to an 11RM on deadlifts, then matched reps with two 5% back off sets (i.e. drop 5% and match reps, drop another 5% and match reps again). Then I did the same for bench.
I was pretty gassed after that, so I just did some curls and pulldowns and went home.
I'm really looking forward to going back to school tomorrow, so I can get my diet sorted out. Living at home for break means eating a fuckton of sugar and pasta.

>>40032123

I know the method, though no actual experience with it.

Reason I asked is because I usually see the programs using 90% and some leeway instead of straight up going for a RM.

>>40032175
>>40032123

I realise now I should've said RM or maxing out instead of "max effort", as max effort actually means something else in westside training.

I'm bad with words sometimes

>>40032201
>>40032175
its variants, so 3-4 weeks of prs on the max effort lift then change, if you hit 2 prs and fail the 3rd, change lifts week 4, if your 2nd pr is really hard, dont fail just change lifts

its not going to be a true max, thats just asking for pain

>>40032175

>>40032134
Not sure if it's gonna help at all, but I remember when I was new to lifting one day when I was benching I just had huge pain in my wrists for no reason at all. It lasted for a week or two and went away since then I never had any pains at all. Even now I have no idea what could've caused that and why it went away all of sudden.

Advice on routine to run while cutting and still training to gain strength over the next few months?

I've been winging it with high volume 3x/week bench 2x/squat and 1x/week deadlift, with a vague linear periodization scheme.

Stats are 450, 335, 573 , at 5'8" 194 lbs

>>40032248

You seem to be mistaking "knowing" with "having trained people with it before".

>>40032235

Oh I thought you were gonna use your 3RM and then attempt to add reps up to the 5RM. Cause the ones I know of use around 90% of a certain max and add reps from there.

I guess I worded myself in a confusing manner.

>>40032134

You need to improve your flexibility and get a higher arch.
With the current arch you have, the position you're touching the bar is too low.
That means you have to touch a bit higher, but that can be bad for your shoulders.

So start stretching your spine, specially thoracic. Try to get a better set up on the bench.

As for the wrist and forearm pain, while I can see pain being triggered by touching too low, thus having a weird pushing position off the chest, I find it unlikely that the pain is being originated here.

In my opinion you need to see a doctor for your wrist.

For now, while you work on improving your arch, I recommend you stop doing competition bench.
Instead, do Spoto Bench Press. Give it a google, iirc candito has a video on that.

I expect Spoto to help avoid some of the pain you're having.

>>40032305
So would you reccommend that I just autoregulate volume and intensity like I have been, and go for PRs when I feel up for it?

It's been going okay so far, obviously not consistent progress, but I'm losing weight at a decent clip because I'm in the gym 6 days a week

>>40032335
You give terrible advice.

He is a rank novice. He doesn't need fucking spoto presses.

You. Dumb. Cunt.

>>40032335
conjugate is more an 'on the day' thing for max effort, the normal dynamic effort days which i dont have, is the banded stuff which usually used %

sheiko is a fully % based programme

>>40032324
you can literally pin any muscle, delts is easiest

though for powerlifting the most effective things are orals anyway, superdrol/anadrol/halo, powerful androgens

>>40032385

The point of the Spoto Press isn't for his strength.

It's to stop his pain.
He can't bench without pain.

The reason for my Spoto recommendation is due to the awkward forearm positions he is having when going all the way to the chest. This is likely to be triggering the nerve entrapment he is suffering from.

I'm sure rank novices deserve to not be forced into doing painful exercises when they can do variations that work their muscles in a similar fashion and don't cause pain.

But what do I know. I give "terrible advise". I'm sure Anonymous knows more about neural issues and specific movements that trigger specific positions for specific muscles and fasciae.
Dude should just listen to Anon and keep benching until he gives up from the pain or recks his body in a permanent way. Who would listen to a "dumb cunt" like me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>40032385

Hm, I guess it makes sense.
I was thinking more along the lines of you working with a specific strict weight and trying to achieve strict points with it, which is why I asked about doing 3RM every week.

>>40032587
then id recommend floor press, the floor provides a natural stopping point, the spoto press will feel incredibly unnatural to a novice

What does spoto press and floor press even do that other bench variations or even trying harder while benching wouldn't?

>>40032621

I reckon that would work as well.

Spoto press is useful to improve certain aspects of the competitive technique, and improve certain weakpoints.

Floor Press is just a useful variation with a partial range of motion. And it's nice for the triceps.

If you do chest accessories and you're getting a good repsonse don't fuck with it. If you do triceps and you don't get a good response with it, then you're right to chuck em for chest stuff.

probably coincidence. There could be psycological factors at play I suppose thouhg. I don't fap w/ gf.

>minority
half black, half alaskan native. a little over weight. she lookgs pretty good in the right light. Lots of sex, pretty freaky which is good. Super smart, but explicitly with people. She's fucking weirdly good at reading people and manipulating them. Awesome intelligence overall though, and fantastic to talk to. she's clearly not very driven in life though which is unfortunate.

>>40033259
I like her alot, but i just can't help wanting something more. Pretty shitty of me, but I guess I'm a shitty person these days lmao

Nah, you seem like a pretty cool guy.

Welcome to being an adult male. It's even worse when you're a millionaire chad, so you feel like you could always do a little better.

Warning: The text below is my personal opinion.

There are two genders.

Being a butch lesbian doesn't make you a third gender. Being a transgirl doesn't make you a third gender. Being a feminine but straight guy doesn't make you a third gender. Being a bear or twink gay man doesn't make you a third gender. Being a furry girl doesn't make you a third gender. Being a nerdy girl doesn't make you a third gender. Liking anime doesn't make you a third gender. Enjoying chocolate cake more than ice cream doesn't make you a third gender.

However, it is not a binary system. You can be one, the other, both (though I'm not sure this is a practical thing, as in, I'd expect being "both" to be just a temporary phase for those born with special biological/medical conditions), or none (I guess? I never really stopped to think about this one, I'm just assuming it's medically/biologically possible).

But you don't choose your gender. You are born with it. This includes transgender people, I for example was born a girl. I have always been a girl. I didn't choose to be a girl, that's who I have always been. I was simply forced to live as something I was not for most of my life.

I was with you up until this part, but I still love you.

50% isn't a meaningful weight, try like 70%.

I wasn't expecting that trappy. I'm actually pleasantly surprised, because I feel kinda the same way. (also a girl trapped in wrong body)

I guess it's a weird concept for those that haven't lived it.

thanks. are there also any static stretches I can add to do at the end of the day for thoracic mobility or should I just do these dynamic ones?
