/plg/ - powerlifting general

first for having a wank

Second for Isley, Benchbro, Bodorio, Boardshorts, Buda and garagebro

I'd do anything to have one last plg with all them together...

raffy if you are still here with us please give us a sign!!

*wind blows*

<w<

could it be???

>>41279859
Oh really?

Please describe the contribution of each of those trips in 20 words or less each.

>>41279887
hey raffy

>>41279903
>Isley
Was the hot topic for bullying and he took it well. Made great YouTube videos for us, went to world's and recorded Johnny candito without him knowing and recorded JP Caauchi in the shower lol.

>Benchbro
Made halarious webms of his lifts, posted lots of great music and kicked off the no bully meme
Was a very good bencher

>boardshorts
Lots of halarious webms, lots of great memes (all the plates and sub 2x bw squat), very nice guy and was very helpful
He gave you advice without shoving his opinion down your throat like raffy

>Bodorio
Strongest trip next to Bryce
Lots of hilarious memes (for your own use, and the take what's yours josh hancott Pepe's and stuff)
Super kind and helpful
Gave everyone hope and motivation

>Buda
The old man of the general. Every general needs one.
Had a loving family, great life, set people straight and had a lot of experience under his belt.
One of the original posters and I loved him dearly.

>garagebro
Great at what he does. Started classic memes (LEANER EVERY DAY), met up with Isley for good bants, he gave very good advice on spine health and heavy lifting. Was an all round interesting guy and helped many people stay safe.

>>41279859
>Isley,
pretty good outside of the IPF elitism
>Benchbro,
whines sometimes but is a good friend most of the time
>Bodorio,
bully in friend's clothing
if not for the cute meme bear more people would have realized this
>Boardshorts,
cool af
>Buda
seemed alright
>and garagebro
good about on-topic posting and being helpful when he can

How much do you guys CGBP vs comp style? I just hit a flat back closegrip 5rm at 95% of my comp grip arched 5rm but I'm pretty sure I've gotten stronger since I last tested

Also why is it that max grip is so much harder to grind than a narrower grip? I might move in due to this tbqh

>>41280191
Sorry you didn't like it

I havent read PP so I dont know what the split is like. I am in a good groove with the programming I was doing so I intend to use the info you gave me to make something as similar to that as possible. its comfy and gives me results so I want to change it as little as possible

thanks for your help lad :)

Its just keeps tumbling down tumbling down tumbling down...
I just keep letting me down letting me down letting me down...

Hi /plg/

I've been lifting for three months now. Stats are as follows:

6' 3"
210 pounds

205 bench
265 squat
305 dead
130 ohp

Am I ready to switch to a proper program or can I keep messing around on a basic ppl that I replaced barbell rows with tbar rows?

I want to be able to lift twice a day if possible. Even if it's just hypertrophy in the morning.

>>41282919
No I appreciate the advice. My current plan is to bulk to 230. I'll run SS for 3 more months before re-evaluating.

>>41282966
Ok good job. Also, your squat shouldnt be that much higher than your dl. Do you have vids of either? Im willing to bet your deadlift form is shit or your not hitting depth on squat

I don't have a video but I'm almost 100% sure it's a mixture of both. The squat is a one rep max that barely hit parallel and the deadlift is a two rep max and 315 (I apparentally can't do simple math)

my back issue from yesterday feels better. pretty sure its my rhomboid so this is like the 4th time its had pain

hopefully ill be able to squat on wednesday or saturday and only miss one lower body session

its fuckin annoying because it only effects stabilizing my back, nothing but squats and deadlifts effect it

thanks for reading my blog

well i really fucked up my sleep schedule

What would you guys prefer as volume after some spoto press? An amrap at the same weight or ramping sets if 5 until you hit an rpe 9.5/10 set

>>41283857
Same. I'll just grab a drink and power through though. Best of luck senpai.

/plg/ help me.

Already reached intermediate lifts with SL 5x5.

What do now? Texas Method? Greyskull? A fucking brosplit?

I'm divided between getting stronger and aesthetics. But aesthetics mostly comes from getting a lower bf, right? RIGHT??

>>41280135
>max grip harder to grind
I kinda find the opposite, reps feel really good on CGBP but I almost instantly hit a wall as soon as they slow down, its still fast off the chest and then stops dead. My regular grip is less than a hands width out from my CG though, that probably matters.

>>41284081
Keep going until you stop progressing. Why would you want a slower progression because your lifts reached an arbitrary number that someone called the threshold for an intermediate?

I did some pullups and fucked around with split squats because I tweaked something in my lumbar yesterday and now my whole life is thrown into disarray and malaise REEEEEE

I'm also feeling extremely anxious lately and can't find the strength of mind to deal with some basic family stuff I need to and have been incredibly avoidant of. In terms of mental health and overall momentum and stability I'm roughly 4/10 as of today but within like a week I could be back to a solid 7-8 if my back comes right fast.

No, but I did have fun lifting today. Pic related, bench sets inflated by 15 lbs across the board, 5x5 neutral grip chins added as well

>>41284189
Weird, I tweaked my lumbar doing dead hangs and it was aggravated for about 45 minutes.
Completely fine now but it was strangely painful.

>>41284081
If you want aesthetics:
-keep training for strength, get as strong as you can at everything
-regularly do assistance/bodybuilding work for mid/rear delts, arms, pecs and back with plenty of reps
-don't be fat

>>41284211
I maxed hastily on deadlifts with little warmup and not very good movement quality, I deserved it more than you i think. Didn't feel anything til later that night.

>>41284037

Spoto, closegrip, and shit the bed on weighted pullups.

Geez.
I hope the ipf stops mentioning plg at all when they broadcast stuff. Toxic, childish community.
I'm taking suggestions of good, mature forums or places to chitchat about PL (where scrub mentality isn't the norm. This excludes every other PL forum.)
Oh yeah, feel free to downvote this criticism. I know you're biting your lips to do so.

Can I get a form check? I decided to switch from sumo to conventional since it should, supposedly, fit my body type more. How do I fix my back rounding or is it still acceptable in my case?

>>41285896
Doesn't look too bad, you need to start in a position with a flatter back if you want to pull with a straight back

>>41285823
Back to weddit you go then

>>41285976
Any suggestions? That's one of the reasons I switched to sumo - I can't get my back flat.

>>41285896
Nothing that bad. The first two looked good enough and the rest were not too bad imo

>>41286086
Thanks, man. I did 3x5 (that was my second set) and I feel like I won't be able to get away with that for too long. Might try out the SSPT diddly table, which consists of doing singles, since it allows to work on form.

What is a good wilks? When do you know you are above babby-tier?

>>41287521
idk about other people but every time I've actually worked on barbell pressing seriously my bench has gotten significantly worse, this last cycle included.

Some DB pressing for an accessory has always been fun though.

>tfw 333

>>41287521
>>41287533
I think pressing + benching too often gives me elbow tendonitis. Been having pain at the bottom of my ohp in the elbow for a week now. Think I might stop OHP for the rest of this training cycle. (only 1.5 weeks to go)
Anyone else have this problem?

>>41287675
300 is above babby tier.
400 is good
500 is great
600 is godlike

>>41287707
I have elbow-tendonitis from squats, but I don't feel it is a problem while pressing, no. I use a very narrow grip though.

How narrow? Hands in front of shoulders?
I mostly do it with my thumbs just outside of my shoulders, like Rip teaches it. Maybe I should narrow my grip

>>41287804
Yes, hands in front of shoulders. On my bar my thumb is on the innermost part of the knurling, right next to the blank spot in the middle. My elbows are not in front of the bar while starting the press, but the bar rests on my chest.

So what programs are y'all running and how many times can you repeat the same program? Just until you stop seeing gains or what?

im on week 4 of my 2nd cycle of canditos 6 week program and i like it a lot. I enjoy how it's not just the same sets/reps/weights week after week

I can't seem to pull conventional without rounding my lumbar anymore.

Not too sure why, gets progressively worse with heavier weights too.

Running TM, is there a point when squatting 5x5 at 90% of 5rm becomes impractical/unfeasible or am I just being a weak bitch?

Also what is a good program to run after TM

>>41289079
The 5x5 isn't meant to last forever, I'd imagine it should be very difficult.
Try canditos 6 week program maybe?

Think job interview went somewhat well.

>>41288367
Get a view from a 45 degree angle some time too, please.

>>41289079
you're using too much weight

on TM the 1x5 of intensity day is supposed to be a weight which you can scrap 5 hard but doable reps together

the 5x5 is supposed to be mildy challenging

>>41289197
Kek, what line of work are you trying to get into

>>41289079
>5x5
The 5x5 can be anywhere from 80-90% of 5 RM, maybe even a tad lower if you can respond to the lower volume dose.

>Program after TM
C6W was fun, you could also do 28 free, CLutz intermediate, basically anything that you want.

G-guys I worked a bit on my arch and my bench skyrocketed by about 25lbs. I'm still a novice but holy shit this wasn't a meme

>>41289079
As a beginner I used my 5 rep maxes for 5x5s for about 6 months.
By month 4 I was shitting my soul out and by month 6 I realized it was retarded. Switch to 3x5 then 1x5

>>41289271
It's an administrative position. Entry level, I guess, but at least I'll enter the company (huge company). Will see though, lots of applicants apparently, but I'm probably the best candidate on paper.

FUCK I'm depressed
Give me your best tips that helped you stop feeling depressed

when I do isley tier jap bench I can't seem to grind out a single rep
when I do close grip roidaroo bench I can grind out reps easier and I'm not much weaker

when I do a middle of these two benching styles I can grind out rep after rep with ease, but its my weakest bench position. As weak as my close grip position.

Bench is strange

>>41290214
Lifting and weed

>>41289453
That's too little volume.

>>41290214
Come to terms with reality and make yourself better than the world.

>>41290214
I am not sure how you can 'deal' with depression but I know how to help prevent it.
I would suggest it comes down to three things for most people: Relationships, career and wealth. (In that order)

Having people you can trust, whether it be a friend or significant other can make the world of difference to how you feel, no matter your situation.

Career and fulfilment is a tough one, and I'll leave that at you. Keep your options open because you'll find fulfillment in many things if you give them a try. Make your career your passion and you won't be stuck chasing dreams, but instead make something of what you've got.

Wealth is subjective. You may be happiest wealthy, happiest with moderate wealth or appreciate life poor. Find what makes you feel secure and comfortable and base your goals off that. If you don't mind living in relative poverty because you have a career you enjoy and people who love and support you, then why the hell change?

Just be content with what you have, and make sure you appreciate what comes your way.

How retarded would it be to run 2x int med for bench and in addition 1x int med for OHP? I care about my OHP and don't want to neglect it.

Anyone tried it?

>>41290214

I need help when it comes to not fucking around. I haven't squat seriously in ages because it always feels like shit, are there any strong squatters in here that still dislike squatting and feels the most unnatural for them? Just wondering if I have a chance.

I only front squat anyway for general strength but is there any way to make 3x5 three times a week less shit but better than 3x5 twice a week? A middle day with pauses or something?

Also would 5x3 be a better scheme or doesn't it really matter?

>>41290310
Not stupid at all. Sensible really, but don't expect fast OHP progression, accept it will be very slow.

>>41290494
Madcow 5x5 was the easiest squat program I've ever ran and worked really well.
Great for lazy lifters like myself.

>>41290406
Depends on the subsection of math, try me

>>41290617
The question is

"The radius of circle A is 1/3 the radius of circle B.
Circle rolls around circle B one trip back to its starting point.
How many times will circle A revolve in total?"

>>41290673
3

>>41290673
won't that just be 3 times?

>>41290673
My first thought is to compare the circumferences of the two circles. Treat circle B as a straight line of length of the circumference, circle A has to roll across this straight line.

If circle B has 3 times the radius of circle A then it's circumference is 3 times the circumference of circle A and circle A will have to roll 3 times to get across

circumference = 2pi radius

big circle = 2pi *3r
small circle=2pi *r

big circle has 3x the circumference, small circle will revolve 3 times..

>>41290760
>>41290727
>>41290714
>>41290706
The actual answer is 4

Look it up

>>41290773
Depends on perspective. Relative to the big circle, when the smaller circle has completed one turn it still hasnt completed a full revolution if you look how it tangents to the big circle. Gay question desu

How do you get yourself going before a big lift?
I have so low mood and sometimes I nearly fall asleep in the gym so I need to get really fired up before every lift to even have a chance to do it. I shouldn't care so much but it looks a bit silly when I don't lift that much weight.

is this cucktine? >>41288534

>>41292792
weighted chins bro, they will make you bench more

>>41292921
Every single person with half a brain in powerlifting says the lats only role is as a stabilizer. Strengthening the lats will do nothing for your bench. The only impact the back has on your bench is a thicker back means slightly shorter rom. This effect is minimal at best. Read once in awhile youve got learning to do

You're coming off as a douche

https://www.instagram.com/p/BTmwApOg6BE/
bottom up squats are shit but holy cats they were comfy for my knees

>>41292982
because the lats are the only pulling muscle right lmao look at this dummy here

I still guarantee that your bench is shit. Try weighted chins bro they will up your bench

Even kiril does weighted chins on RECORD

>>41292995
Its 4chan we're all douches

>>41293008
The lats are the only pulling muscle involved in the bench though. Im just applying actual science to the bench. My bench is shit, theres no doubt there but I am using knowledge ive learned from reading what others have said. Just because kiril does chins doesnt mean that made his bench. Wade boggs used to eat chicken before every game, that didnt make him a great baseball player though

Wanna get into power lifting and building mass, any tips?

>>41293047
>My bench is shit
See how did I know lmao

Try weighted chins bro, they wont hurt and they will up your bench. Its not like weighted chins hit just the lats they hit about 80% of the muscles in your upper body and the pecs included

Its not like it will only enhance the stabilizing muscles but you train a vast majority of the support muscles in the bench which makes the weighted chin such a great exercise.

Not only will it help in the bench but it will also help you deadlift more actually

>>41292996

>>41293079
I do weighted chins, they have not helped my bench. Find me one semi literate powerlifting coach that says "weighted chins will increase your bench" they dont exist. Chins are still a great movement, not for bench

>>41293109
it has a use for conditioning or maybe a pump and its better than nothing but you should treat it like any other exercise and up the weight by doing it weighted

>>41293108

>lying on the internet

>>41293143
Kek, not lying m8. Most powerlifters do chins. They still dont affect bench

>>41293130
What if I can only do around 5-8 reps unweighted? Are unweighted good enough then?

>>41293157
I just explained how they affect the bench you dummy stop repeating the same dummy response

Hi, guys. Unfortunately, since Sept. 2015 I haven't been able to train as I've been seriously ill.

At the time my stats were roughly:
BW: 100kg (@183cm)

Squat: 190
Bench: 105
Dead: 220
Press: 75

Currently I weight 86kg, but finally have the all clear to start training again. I'm thinking of just running SS (perhaps with more pulling volume, and a bit more chest work). What do you guys reckon?
