/PLG/ Powerlifting General

what is the purpose behind slingshot?

>>41174742
Keeps the chest and bis cozy and warm so you're comfy during your set.

>Two weeks ago PR'd 240 lb bench
>Today failed to make one rep at 225
>Proceeded to get pinned under the third rep of 210 later

It was a rough day.

>>41174880
sounds like somebody needs a deload week

Has kbooey hopped on the juice? The PRs are comming a bit fast in succession tbH

Doubt it

>>41175046
>>41175088
Focus on locking out your knees and hips at the same time. Right now you lock out got knees and do sort of a half good morning on the way up. You want everything to be one quick, solid, fluid motion beginning with your hand, knees, and shoulders making a straight line, and ending with a mighty dick thrust through the middle off the barbell.

what are you talking about u fucking banan why do i have to lock my hips and knees at the same time, who came up with this abitrary concept rEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>41175230
Dont lock out, youll actually hurt your joints in the long run. He just means, as mentioned by >>41175075, you need to straighten your hips and knees at the same time. Try to at least. You may need to add more weight, it looks like its too light. Otherwise form looks pretty good man.

National gymnastics coachfag here. Take it or leave it.

>>41175230
You got pretty good strength doing it how you are now, but you're going to bottleneck your progress putting all of the weight on your lower back.

>>41175277
>>>>>>>>Don't lock out

>>41175046
cant tell form with a weight thats like 60% of your max

>>41175277
>don't lock out

Sounds like a good way to have weak joints and slow strength gains

>>41175277
>>41175147
>knees and hips at same time
>not knees then hips

just no

Enjoy arthritis plebs. Locking out actually puts more strain on your joints. Rheumatology ftw.

Would doing 4/2/1 instead of 5/3/1 give less gains? Doing le BBB afterwards.

tbqhwyfa.m ego lifting the best aspect of 5/3/1, this would make it betterer and hopefully stop my legs from getting thiccer which coupled with my narrow hips is getting ridiculous.

>>41174734
Is that fat retard in the webm

>>41175854
>hey guys how can i make less gains

this literally makes no sense to me

>>41175854
4/2/1? Wtf?
You do realize 5/3/1 is just a name, most of the time you're not hitting 5, 3 and 1 rep on your max sets. You start off at sth like 11/8/5 or so (because it's a % of a %, much lighter than your actual RMs) and each cycle the reps slowly go down.

>>41175868
Yup

>>41175871
That's if you don't skip the shitty sets Wendler put before the good stuff..

>>41175882
zero tightness in the descent

330kg/727lbs deadlift at 80kg.
Going to focus on competing at Jr. Nats.

Before you ask why I edit the videos the way I do, it's simply just an expression of what goes through my head when I lift. I have the tools to bring this vision to a platform which I know inspires a lot of the younger lifters out there and is why I do it. Being just another person who lifts X amount of weight just makes you a statistic.
Thanks for watching plg.
Open to any questions in regards to memes or lifting.

You mean you copy frank yang hoping you can also become big on youtube?

>>41175901
couldnt watch, too cringey music and editing

sick lift though

>>41175971
I'm going to take your question seriously even though I know you're being cynical. The videos I make are based on self awareness rather than "copying" other peoples work. Fronk does not come to mind when I edit my videos. However, like himself and everyone else, there is inspiration drawn from all forms of media. Also, I mention in the video how it is fulfilling to motivate others, so if my reach/influence does expand and I'm able to do so through putting effort into my videos then I will do it.

Hopefully this answers your question

>>41176018
Hello Chinese boi, u are very small :(

>>41176014
I didn't read the entire post, but I get the gist of what's being debated.
Every type of form has a trade-off. Yes, pulling with thoracic flexion and protracted shoulders is easier off the floor because your hips are more open and you have better leverage of the weight off the ground.

You then have to create a neutral spine in order to lock out from above the knees, which is stated. I agree, lock-out is more difficult this way, however, I supplement this by doing heavy rows and accessories to facilitate this draw back.

Pulling with a neutral spine on the other hand is much slower off the floor because you have less leverage over the weight due to your hips being more closed off. So, with thoracic flexion, you could consider your hips being at a position as if you were rack pulling the weight and a neutral spine would be actually deadlifting it from a less efficient position as there's more range of motion that your hips have to open up to in order to lock out the weight.

Also, with the weight and bar speed, the concept of momentum comes into play where if it is moving at speed, it becomes easier to pull. If you see some of my warmups in my other videos, 60-140kg often flies up to my head/ up to my chest. I only apply the force about 1/3 of the way up the lift. If I continued to apply force I could probably throw 60kg 6 feet above my head.

So I rely a lot on how fast the bar comes off the ground because of this fact and work around it rather than making things difficult for myself with a neutral spine. It is simply more efficient. I would not be pulling 4.125x bodyweight otherwise.

Hope this is the response you were looking for

That last paragraph is. Thank you.

What about the other question?

>>41176187
I don't generally lurk on plg unless I have something to share and I will stick around for that period of time.

Someone shared my video on reddit the other day and everyone was complaining about the editing rather than watching the actual lift so seems like plg has a more tolerable community.

But in general a lot of powerlifters seem to be heavily insecure, egotistical people which is why I don't go out of my way to interact with them unless I have something relevant. The shit storm that comes, comes but it's relevant material which I feel is worth sharing

I HATE INSTAGRAM
CAN WE GET IT DELETED

>>41175901
Impressive stuff mate. What's the goal for stiff bar + comp plates?

"I don't really care about the number that I deadlift. I do this for you guys"
I can't tell if serious. All your titles and even the first words in this post are your numbers. You obviously care a lot about how much you can lift at what weight. I'm not saying that's a bad thing in fact I respect the pursuit of strength. Just comes across as sort of dishonest. You can do it for yourself and to motivate others but I have doubts as to doing it for others being the primary motivator.

>>41176241
>But in general a lot of powerlifters seem to be heavily insecure, egotistical people
Agreed, but imho it's true for pretty much every type of training.

>>41176254
The title and the attention grabbing aspects are things I've learned in marketing and operating a business over time. You're not going to reach anyone being a shadow amongst the saturated content which floods social media and youtube in general. I understand that the lifts are outstanding to some peoples standards and they will click on it.

Essentially, everything that you do even if the motive is to help others is for yourself. If doing something for someone makes you happy, then you are doing it for yourself without the intention. I've held free seminars at gyms before with generally 50+ people attending etc.

If I were just to lift heavy and not worry about the content itself, it would be depressing. The weights are just a number, the progression is just a number. Inspiring others and being remembered for it is fulfilling to me.

All those lifters out there you see lifting massive numbers, they die and they're remembered for the numbers they lift. If I am able to connect with the people who watch my videos and have them do something for themselves the number of achievements that I bring to the table aren't going to exclusively define me.

>>41176254
To answer your first question

I want to lift more than the world record on the platform for now and then think about the limits I can push after the fact. Like I said in the video, I'll take one step at a time

>>41176112
>If I continued to apply force I could probably throw 60kg 6 feet above my head

Id like to see that on video t b h

>>41176284
I don't disagree with you. However, what you do with your ego is a decision you make. You make it transparent and be honest with others whilst still having great ambitions. Or you can have a fragile ego where you aren't completely happy with yourself so you decide to take it out on someone else.

And this comes down to what you do with your insecurities as well. Everyone is insecure about something. Combine that with a fragile ego and you have people who bicker over stupid shit

also, I have the same rack as you :)

>>41175915
>>41175911
s-same

>>41176112
you need to do block pulls to engage your hips because that 330 was miles away from being locked out

>>41176469
oh to be a newbie again and think shirtless training is cool

>>41176516
>ventilation

>>41176516
Not the guy you're replying to but I remember I used to do this and just kinda stopped lol idk why

>>41176516
do you have air conditioning in your garage? Im in the uk too and train in my shed. its been so hot the past few weeks Ive been lifting in boxers

>>41176504
Cool. Wanna meet up?

>>41176505
The knees weren't locked out completely, not the hips. I'll be working on my quad extensions.
not srs.

>>41176584
i know what i said

but if you work on getting the hips through with more force the knee issue goes away, if you insist on having a rounded thoracic then hip positioning will do you the world of good, pete rubish had the same issue, fixed where his hips were and his pull started going up again

>>41176570
no just a fan, its hard to breathe sometimes, but i see so many people complaining after summer comps about how hot it was, the humidity, the bar was slippy, so wont be anything new to me and if its better conditions than im used to in theory ill do better

>>41176551
when you actually get some weight on the bar and its a decent bar with good knurl you dont want that tearing up your back

>>41175497
I do ULULUxx is this dumb?

>>41176579
Sure. I`m pretty weak. I just started power lifting trying to join the club at Pitt

>>41176516
What I'm wearing is some black shirt. I took it off so one can see the back properly

>>41176673
Shame that it's finals week, I won't be lifting until maybe Thursday evening or so. You wanna meet up at the Pete then? And I'm gonna try to join in the fall.

>>41176709
Yea I`ll be there Thursday. I`m also staying at Pitt over the summer. I`ll hit you up on the discord

>>41176746

>>41177012

>>41177026

are you tired a lot?

>>41177066
i wont touch tren, i know it wont agree with me

plus in practice its more for lean tissue than strength, its only strength function is as a nervous system stimulant

>>41177045
I'm different guy, but I also noticed I only have dreams when I sleep a lot, when I get 6-8 hours of sleep I never get any dreams.

>>41177045
>tired
not really, no
if i end up waking up during sleep im unable to rest again though

I have a question which is just about general strength but I come here for advice.

Is it common to have a front squat which is about the same as your bench? I'm not sure if I'm in proportion or my squat is lagging a lot.

My 5x5 bench is 70kg and my front squat 5x5 is 75kg.

>>41177162
ive never thought about it but i think my 1rm on the two is about the same

fuck i need to throw in front squats as a secondary movement post comp and really focus on getting it up, as its so weak, improving it could really bump up my squat


thankyou anon you have provided me with a training focus

>>41175075

Lol, tall dudes have to do this. How the fuck else are they gonna get the bar past their knees you fucking retard?

The shoulders need to be in front of the bar at the start, the scapula is over the bar.

>>41175889
>>41175871

What are you guys talking about?

I've never read anywhere about sets before 5/3/1 except the warmups, and I wouldn't call those shitty.

I've also never read about NOT doing the exact rep scheme. If you don't hit it you're not doing the program correctly since you're working off of a 90% of your 1RM. If you do start to stall you've either progressed beyond this 90% or just need to deload more often.

>>41177536
Please don't leave, lad.

howdy ther fellers

anyone of u happen to have the 531 forever in pdf

thanks a bunch

i squat high bar and go to full depth. when i hit the sticking point (about halfway from parallel to rack position) i subconciously push my hips forward to help me stand up
is this normal? is this indicative of some sort of musce imbalance? is it a technique flaw that's detrimental to my training?

exactly where do you see a dl link

>>41179072
short legs and short torso is relative dumbass. If you're 6 foot 4 and your femurs only make up a very small amount of your height than your legs are considered short

>>41175079
>roiding means you put on weight
dude in olympic lifting the dudes specialize in roiding and not gaining weight

>>41179080
then keep eating more

>>41175901
the way you acted pre lift and the other dude too was too cringey m80

no need to hype yourself up pre lift just fucking lift it why treat it any different than 100kg

>>41179153
Oh I understand, it only makes sense that one of them is considered short, true. At least in a relative sense.

So you would want short legs and the torso length then just decides the way you squat (more/less upright)

>>41176469
drop the mirror, you will grow dependant on it

trust me

>>41179025
nah just a dyel

>>41179153
nobody who is 6'4 has short legs m8 even when considered relatively

most people tall people dont have much bigger torso's compared to short people, just really long legs

>>41179209
Well both lengths decide how you swuat but yeah you more or less got it

>>41179247
Yeah youre generally right but tall people can have longer torsos it just doesnr happen often

>>41179273
If the're lucky yes

Also the same thing with frame width, tall people 99% of the time have a slender build but occasionly you'll see a tall stocky guy(very rare though)

You need to find a way to cut some depth on the squats, looking at your deadlifts you could easily go wider and wear flats. Its costing you poundage on the bar, and you have real instability the deeper you go, i think its the second squat your hips shift quite a lot

bench get your wrists in line with your forearms, stop cocking them back its a weak unstable position, get some wraps and crank them tight if you cant do it

deadlifts its a shitty angle to tell anything about the pull so i cant say much, does look slightly like youre initiating the pull like you would a conventional

>>41179436
he thinks he's being funny calling himself a fat "powerlifter" blablabla, but he's hurting his health.

>>41179454
>Squats
Yeah I know, used to go deeper but bringing my stance out helped to cut depth

>Bench
Dude my wrists feel stable as shit with Jap grip because the bar is resting diagonally in my hand and is super low in my palm. If I bench with wraps it feels really weird on my brachioradialis, so I'd prefer to not do that unless my tendinitis is already acting up.

>Deadlift
Yeah, it is kinda conventionally and my upper back rounded a bit on the last pull before the bar left the floor

>>41179491
>Caring this much about a stranger's health
Aww thanks babe :3. Gonna be cutting for like 6 months starting in early to mid June though.

>>41179376
THICCCCCCC

>>41179520

this is what i meant with the whole "lelelele being funny" stick.

doing your problems off by acting funny about them doesn't fix them.

>>41179346
why not?
It's less crowded, less memers, has a pool, and a place to learn judo/wrestling/mma reliably.

If you are actually fat and retarded, lean up and increase your work capacity by lifting people up and taking them to slam city, while preventing yourself from visiting snap city.
>>41179445
I wear thermals and sweats when I run, practice grapples, and lift.

Try it. It helps keep you warm and focused, and makes you feel like you're doing more. Forces you stay extra hydrated.

>>41179602
good that you want to cut down to a healthy weight soon.
i'm just saying that it can help if you're more serious about the problem you have.
that makes it harder to make weak excuses when you fuck up your cut.

go a bit slower, especially in the top half.

>>41179520
Why wait till June?

>>41179641
I wouldn't call it divebombing but i think you could get a little more tight. Maybe that means slowing the descent maybe that means cutting depth a bit. I dont' know.

>That music

is that a shipping container? does wada have jurisdiction over cargo freighters travelling through the atlantic ocean?

Why even the biggest dyels here squat and deadlift twice as much as I do but bench less?

>>41179602
it has more equipment but an over saturation of memers. Trees has more availability / maximum comfy.

the powerlifting club is a bunch of tools, get better friends.

Plus trees has a rock wall, but being fat isnt good for pulling yourself up rocks.

Lads i'm switching to high bar for a short period of time during my next training cycle. I generally squat in flats, should i switch to heeled for my high bar work or stay in flats for specificitie's sake?

>>41179759
because neuromuscular efficiency doesnt aid in muscle growth per se

>>41179376
nice (dare i say, e z ?), gj

>>41179773
If you can hit depth with a proper high bar torso angle you're fine. If you find your torso tilts forward because of mobility issues, I'd go with some squat shoes.

>>41179704
good that you can stick to your planned cuts, but maybe not bulk so much then.

>>41179776
So what you're saying is I have more muscles but they're better at lifts? How do I become better then?

>>41179811
I know that i can definitely hit depth high bar so i'll stick with flats. Thanks nig.

>>41179826

>>41179761

>>41179796

>>41179824
My bulks are unintentional tbqh, I just don't track what I eat. I maintained for like 3 months no problem, but then I started to eat in a surplus without really paying attention. The bulk wasn't too fast though, ~0.8 lbs a week. Could have been a lot worse.

>>41179864
What time did your meet start? Maybe i've only ever competed at poorly run meets but mine have always taken a lot longer. Yours seemed to be done pretty early in the day.

>>41179884
First flight was at 9:50, my (second) flight was at 10:20. We were scheduled for 9:30 and 10:30, respectively. There were only like 20ish lifters total.

>>41180242
I'm just happy to no longer be in the twink first flight. My first meet i was 165 and the weakest dude there so i squatted and benched first. It was pretty nerve wracking for a first meet

>>41180276
ugh, college students...

>>41180304

>i'm just autistic and i like things neatly typed in front of me
this.

college students tend to fall for memes like that, sheiko, etc.

also
>steam

>>41174742
It's like a benching shirt, except it's not a bitch to put on and does less.

Kinda like knee sleeves vs knee wraps.

>>41180427
Fucking kek. Yeah that's all pretty accurate. I wouldn't say this year's project momentum is a meme though. Last year's was the epitome of a meme though

>>41174742
>>41180438
Also has literally 0 learning curve, so it's a good way to overload your bench with full ROM

>>41180438
not really, you will never have to pull the weight down with a slingshot and dont have to worry about fighting to stay in a groove so you dont loose the bar

>>41180449
just don't stop thinking for yourself.
it's nice to just follow some program because someone who's regarded as well-informed made it.

just don't fall in the reddit trap of stopping to think for yourself and blindly following whatever is hype at the moment.

also, lifting is not life, and you'll be more likely to get further with it if you approach a bit more casually than college "powerlifting" students typically tend to.

>>41180438
A bench shirt is nothing like a slingshot at all. You can just put on a slingshot and go. Bench shirt requires learning what is essentially a completely different lift.

>>41180512
>Don't stop thinking for yourself
Thats why i wrote my own program from momentum. The original is 10 weeks i just took the methodology and changed it up a bunch because it worked really well for me adding 100lbs to my total

>also, lifting is not life, and you'll be more likely to get further with it if you approach a bit more casually than college "powerlifting" students typically tend to.
duh, if you approach powerlifting as anything more than a fun hobby you've got the autisms. Im at uni for a reason, i have actual goals that aren't picking up a barbell. Although picking up a barbell is very fun

>>41180546
good to hear, carry on.

>>41180546
>took the methodology and changed it up a bunch

how do you know you havent deviated from the principles of efficient programming?

>neutral spine would be actually deadlifting it from a less efficient position as there's more range of motion that your hips have to open up to in order to lock out the weight.
nah, it's not because of the range of motion.
it's because of the longer moment arm that a straight/neutral back brings over a flexed/curved spine.

>>41180624

but you bench significantly more at a much lighter bodyweight..

I Definitely worded it wrong. I train hard but what i meant was i hate when people make powerlifting their number one priority. That is what i think is autistic. people need other things outside of powerlifting in their lives. Thats more what i meant

>how do you know you havent deviated from the principles of efficient programming?

ive read what you posted and it just looks random, im not even going to go into detail because my response would be too long, theres too much, youve never got a block of a variation its just changing every session, not even variations of the same movement

His bench is progressing way WAY faster than mine ever has

So I wanted to get into power lifting after laziness made me weak, and have started greyskull

But I'm not sure how hard to really push myself on my amrap sets?

I just finished week 1 of it and my AMRAPS were:
Press 85x11
Bench 145x8
Squat 190x8
Deadlift 225x12

I feel like I may be going to hard and I'm afraid to burn out, I leave at least one rep in the tank but after my 225x12 Deadlift I wasn't sure if that was still too little_?

>>41180748
>no block of a variation
That's how pm is structured. Like I said I kept the structure the same I just extended it and changed the movements to better suit my weaknesses. This structure of the program worked very well for me

>>41180927
>>41180952
I deadlift about 240kg and I treat it no differently than 100kg

hyping yourself up makes you just nervous and reliant on that mental state. Lifting with no thought as in a clear mental state is the best way to lift.

Proof: look at clarence

>>41181444
this 100%

>>41181444
trips confirm

>>41181444

Not having a proper mental state can make it just as likely you'll fail a lift. No matter your choice between hyped up and aggressive or calm and collected or anything between, you should make it the same for every maximal attempt.

>>41174742
>>41180438
>comparing slingshot to knee sleeves

Why do you insist on spreading misinformation? They are completely different. Knee sleeves add 0lbs to the average squat and maybe like 2lbs if you're going atg. Knee sleeves are worn for comfort, not to artificially boost your numbers. A slingshot is literally just a 25lb boost

>>41181524
>you should make it the same for every maximal attempt.
I disagree it should be the same for every attempt including submaximal

hyping yourself up teaches you to only lift as hard as possible when you are in that mental state

So when training towards a meet you would need to get back in that mental state everytime to train optimally hence being reliant on it

This is the big difference between olympic weightlifters and powerlifters. In weightlifting its real common for the lifter to stay in a very calm state but in powerlifting the hyping up is more common. Probally since technique is more an issue

Do something else for volume pulls instead. Deficits, paused deads, or at least barbell rows.

>>41181871
Think of it like working out.

If you need to workout 2x as much to achieve the same goal that NORMALLY you take 2x less to achieve, does that mean you are working out efficiently?

Sleeping a lot is a sign of overtraining. That doesn't mean youre over training.

Your body can survive PL training and sleep 6-8 and be fine.

If you wake up after 6-8 solid hours and you feel like shit, you've prolly got adrenal fatigue famalam
