/plg/ - powerlifting general

Do you guys do triceps isolation at all?
Apart from flat bb bench I do nothing for triceps.
Is this a mistake?

>>42757759
It is a mistake, at least do close grip bench.

>>42757696
I mean I can't do anything that uses my back at all, no squats/deadlifts/rows/even ohp, bench is ok as long as I don't arch too much. I try decompressing my spine everyday and do core exercises.

>>42757759
Sometimes I will, depends on the program I'm running. It definitely wouldn't hurt to do some additional tricep work if you can fit it in and not be at the gym forever. I prefer rippetoe LTEs.

Who here at 1/2/3/4 for reps still at linear progression?

>reminder to try harder

>>42757768
>>42757789
I kind of want massive arms right now, figured doing some triceps helps that.
And some curls I guess. Unsure about how many sets / reps though

>>42757853

stalled at lmao2plaet squat

>tfw cutting

>>42757861
Something like 3-5 sets at RPE 8ish, something moderately decent with reps but not absurdly high.

>>42757875
>cutting when only lifting 2 plates

Anon, just lift. Unless you are Beverly Hills Ninja-mode, just keep your bw and lift.

question from last thread cause I'd really appreciate help with it

I haven't been sick since I switched from novice LP.
I feel like I might be getting sick right now though, so I gotta ask; what the fuck do I do if for example I'm doing an 8 week program and by week 3 I get sick and can't lift for 1-2 weeks. If I was doing RPE then I suppose I you could still go by that but if I'm doing % of max then my maxes will definitely have dropped over that period.

Any advice for this or any articles or shit that covers the topic?

>>42757885
And what type? Just some clean isolate curls?
Like these sitting ones where you lean back and have your arms stretched on each side then curl up?

>>42757902

but I'm fat

>>42757932
Do whatever you enjoy doing the most. Switch it up occasionally. It really doesn't matter all that much. I prefer seated supinating curls, but like I said, it doesn't really matter. BTW, for the reps recommendation, if you're going over 15-20, you're probably just wasting your time.

>>42757759

Closegrip and LTEs are great and you should do both.

>>42757975
>closegrip
Idk I feel them more on my chest than anything and it's also always on the edge with my shoulders, don't know if worth the risk.

Newbie here
what is 1/2/3/4 ?
what constitutes as "1 plate"

>>42758058
1 standard sized plate of food is usually about 3 lbs when completely full. Since the bar is 45 lbs, 1pl8 would be the bar and one plate on each side, i.e. 51 lbs. 2pl8 is 57 lbs and so on.

>>42758058
>what constitutes as "1 plate"
One of those round mass discs

>>42758070
plate of food? I dont understand

>>42758058
1 plate ohp, 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat, 4 plate deadlift. Each number refers to the number of 45 lbs/20 kg plates on each side of the barbell.

>>42758088
Yes food. This is why fat people can lift more plates because they have bigger appetites.

>>42758088
welcome to /plg/ everyone here is fat and only think about food.

>>42758089
Thank you

>>42757975

Closegrip > LTEs

anything with large barbell that mimic actual bench press more > some assistance

also guys

what would you do with BARBELL OR BODYWEIGHT (dips excluded) after mine competition bench press for sets of 6-9

on other days you got ohp and cgbp

Hit 1plate for 4 reps today lads
First week at the gym, am I gonna make it?

>>42758121
pls be ohp

>>42758121
Please be barbell lat raises

>>42758135
>He does his lat raises with a barbell and not a SSB
Dyel detected

>>42758113
Yeah no. Anything without the limitations of having weight attached to a barbell is better for isolation.
For example dumbbell bench press is long proven to be a lot better for chest development than bb press.
Same for triceps and literally any other muscle.

There is a reason body builder train the way they do.

>>42758058
1pl8 is a 20kg bar with a 20kg plate on each side; 60kg
2pl8 is two 20kg plates on each side; 100kg, etc

x/x/x/x is overhead press/bench/squat/deadlift and a weight in pl8s.
1/2/3/4 is a common threshold for newbies to start being able to consider themselves reasonably strong.

>>42758113

Why not both?

>>42758163

I just preffer to go hard with one, not medicore with both.

Better tell me if you got 1 @8 you go for your 3RM for 1 or you go heavier to just feel it like @8? Cant tell

>>42758147

>he does his lat raises with a SSB and not with an entire squat rack

why even lift

>>42758245

Well on days when I do LTEs they come after OHP, and then either spoto press or CGBP. It's an accessory, so I'm not going to let the fact that it's there prevent me from trying hard on what I have before.

>>42758280

answer me for RPE thing you are one of more experienced RPE users here

>>42757924
Just lift. You are overthinking it. Feels hard, reset. Feels easy, go on. You are looking for an answer you already know anon.

That only happened twice, and both times was because I had shit bottom positioning.

Put your trip on twinklex.

>>42758351

When program says 1@8 you really go for stuff you hardly can do for 3 or you shit over it and do hard singles?

>>42758351
thanks you too

>>42758370

Are you talking about project momentum? It's just a single rep that you should feel like you can triple.

>>42758388

b-bbut when I watch thrall, a.z.b or jordan make theirs 1@8 singles they move really slow nearly like grinders

>>42758469
Some people can grind out many reps before giving up and some as soon as they start grinding it's their @10.

>>42758486

Thing with me its like im feeling its starting to get to slow and end it, when looking later at footage and its still solid fast not even a grinder really

>>42758469

RPE is rate of perceived exertion. If you perceive you can triple it, great it's @8, doesn't matter how fast it looks.

Retarded question but will rack pulls fuck up a bar when the ROM is 2" or only if you drop it like a retard?

Don't really want to fuck up my only bar and buying another isn't an option.

>>42758702
Yes it will. Just set it down.

>>42758673

If I set it down, it won't fuck my bar?

>>42758731
Should be fine. Dropping will definitely fuck it up, I've seen guys do it at my gym, 5pl8 rack pull, he drops it and the thing just bends and it's fucked forever.

>>42758731
>try some meme trap shit
that will fuck your bar up guaranteed

Nothing. I can low bar just fine, so I've gone back to that exclusively. I don't really need to high bar but it would be a nice variation to be able to throw in.

Also right arm is totally fine, no problems.

Any ideas?

Getting back into squats

What can a long femur fag do to make squats not feel like a drop of doom every time

Can barely push 2 pl8s even when I was training it

R u supposed to get a lat pump from deadlifts? Or am I pulling too much with my back? I also control my eccentrics so that may be it hmm

>>42758879
>>after a few weeks start getting pain and numbness in my left arm, originating in the bicep, during squats
point your elbows downward when squatting that'll fix that

>>42758930

Unless your back rounds significantly you're not doing any sort of movement with your back.

>>42758909
provide a video

>>42758893
I had no idea. RIP me.

>>42758931
I'll have to take another look at this. I thought they were okay, but I have long ass arms. There's no telling where they're pointed when the weight gets heavy.

>Improve ankle dorsifelxion

this will artificially shorten the femur length. From the side view a wider stance and a shorter femur look identical.

>>42758957
why am i getting a lat pump

>>42759088
it has something to do with the infraspinatus being tight and the elbows up instead of down creates some nerve pinching so thats why you feel it in the bicep

i had the exact same thing you just gotta force the elbows down and maybe grip a bit wider

>>42759110

This depends on your level of advancement. If you're still running a novice LP smoothly, there is no need for additional silly bullshit.

If you're a mid-late intermediate fat fuck that's been stuck at an LMAO3PLAYT bench press for six fucking months, it's probably a necessity that you add things like dips, close grip bench press, and possibly LTEs, and also do some OHP.

Just do slow full rom heavy DB shrugs. The weight you need for power shrugs plus the speed with which you flop the bar around will bend it if it's a shitty bar.

How do I work power cleans into a routine? I wana train explosivness, but don't like the way SS has them after squats and pressing. I was progressing on 5×5 but my lifts stalled and I've been doing an upper lower split. Not a power lifter but /plg/ seems to know a bit more about stength training that the rest of /fit/.

Opinion: PL meets should include strict barbell curls.

>>42757853

>>42762228

For fuck's sake, your programming sounds like a shitshow. Did you do SS, or a bullshit 5x5 knockoff?

Upper/Lower splits are probably retarded. Maybe yours isn't completely stupid (posting it would help), but usually, is a MUCH better idea to organize things around your core barbell lifts.

For example, if you want to do a 4 day vaguely Texas Methody Split, you might do this:

Monday:
Squats 5x5
Deadlifts at around 70-75% of your max 3x3

Tuesday:
Power Cleans 5x3
Bench/OHP (alternating weekly) 5x5
Plus some elbow extension related assistance exercises. Possibly Dips 5x8, Close Grip Bench 3x8, or either of those plus LTEs 3x10

Thursday:
Heavy Squats (I do 5x1 for the purposes of powerlifting, general strength trainers might prefer 1x5 or 2x3)
Heavy Deadlifts (I do 3x1, you might prefer 3RM, 2x3, 5RM, or some such)

Friday:
Heavy Bench/OHP
Chin ups
Probably one other arm/shoulder assistance, maybe dips if you didn't do them on Tuesday, or more dips if you did.

You can also do a more typical TM "three" day program, but just do power cleans on Tuesday when you've had a night's sleep after Volume Day.

OR you can just sack up and do power cleans on days when you squat and press (pressing shouldn't horribly affect power cleans anyway)

>>42762802

>PL meets should drop bench press in favor of a standing press from a rack

Fixed.

Reminder that the only reasons they don't do this is because it is actually harder to cheat a standing press than a bench press, and the equipped babbies would all shit a chicken over not being able to let an elastic jumpsuit lift the weight for them

>>42763008
>Reminder that the only reasons they don't do this is because it is actually harder to cheat a standing press than a bench press
>Standing incline bench press.webm

Anyway, I'd be in favor of having both bench and another press because right now bench is so insignificant to your total.

Why is it called a tricep extension if the tricep is contracting?

>>42763108
You extend your arm using triceps.

What do you do if you get sick as an intermediate or advanced lifter? Novice LP just rolls back the weights a few weeks but that doesn't seem as applicable

Next time just blend in whatever calories you need for that day using peanut butter, milk and whey to keep the volume low
For example you could have used:
1 liter 2% milk (400 kcal, 30 g protein)
3 scoops whey (400 kcal, 75 g protein)
300 g natty pb (1800 kcal, 75 g protein)
For a total of 2600 kcal and 180g protein and a total volume of less than 1.5L, most of which is liquids (very easy for the stomach)

>>42763695
>Option 1
You don't ask her out, 0% chance to fuck her and you still mop over your previous girl

Ask her out

>>42762802
They have that at many lolfeds.

Remember ct fletcher? Remember his "seven world titles"? Well they were half in the curl and half in the bench press in some lolfed none of us have ever heard of. And contested by basically only murricans

To make powerlifting more athletic, all three attempts should be performed in a circuit. Like you have 3-4 minutes to complete your squat, bench, and deadlift. Any order works, you can use your time however you like. Make it a bit strategical too.

Terrible timing

Question :

If I go to do a set of 5 on deadlifts and I get 4, walk away for a second or two then come back and switch to over/under grip, does that count as one full set?

Trying to decide if I failed that set or not.

>>42764804
Full set obviously. You'd be a retard if you thought any DOH set was even remotely close to failure.

>>42764943
The DOH wasn't what made me question if I made it or not. It was the walking away from the bar for a couple of seconds before going for the last rep.

Also, on dead and deads only, I feel like my first rep is RPE 7 then the next three are around RPE 8-9 with the final rep always feeling like a solid 10. Is this normal when you start deadlifting heavier? I'm barely into 4plate for the first time so I wasn't sure.

>>42764804
Why walk away if you only had to switch grip? I'd count walking away as failing the set. But grip switch is fine.

For penis measuring contests that's a definite fail. For training purposes it's up to you whether to count it or not. If you had to rest a bit to hit the last rep you probably shouldn't count it. But if it was just a grip switch fuck it, progress with it.

Yeah, That's what I thought. I'm pretty sure I got to 4plate a little too fast. I'm probably gonna reset and build up again.

>>42764989
You're not advanced enough to judge RPE correctly. It's the heaviest weight you've ever touched so it'll feel hard. Deloading because you had to switch grip is so retarded. If you can hit 180kg for 4 with DOH, you can probably hit 200kg for 4 with mixed. Your 5rm is almost half a plate above your working weight and you want to deload. Absolutely piss poor effort.

28mm is by far the best diameter for a bar

Prove me wrong

>>42764569
Don't do 5/3/1. It sucks. My plan for the winter is jacked and tan 2.0

>>42765510
Rogue don't do power bars, they do Ohio bars

Last time I checked, Texas is under water and Ohio isn't... so...

Why do my quads look big from the front but not the sides?

It weirds me out how my abs protrude further than my quads.

>>42765518

U know what I mean

So I said first day of c6w was easy yesterday.

Last night I woke up with shitty quad and glute doms.

I can barely walk straight today. Its like I took bbc last night.

>>42765627
Are you doing c6w with or without nuckol's?

Whats your plan for training with the two together?

>>42765655
I replace the bench session in c6w completely with nuckols

I am still playing it week by week

I also switched deadlift sessions with bench because I prefer not doing deadlifts same day as squat

>>42765668
So what would week 1 look like for you? Squatbench bench rest bench squatbench rest bench?

>>42765627
Oh shit son whaddup, did the second day yesterday. Vanilla first time though to see how the upper sessions progress.

Good luck with the gains lad.

>>42765686

Good luck lad

i fucking hate dumbbell rows

4x12 db rows gas me out worse than the entire hour long 9 set deadlift workout before them

>>42765778
Missed a bench session after second squat bench

>>42765151
That's stupid.

>>42765095
Why what anon

>>42765789
>tfw dumbells only go up to 35kg so i have to do db rows near 30 reps to get a pump
i already get gassed doing one arm

>>42765748
>>42765778

I'm >>42765655
cause I did first day this monday. I'm following Candito's original program with squats and deads on same day. Nuckol's first bench with Candito's suggestion of accessory movements on tuesday. My upperbody is kinda shit anyway so a day to that isn't wrong.

So we're what, 3 lads doing c6w+nuckols

>>42765844
Do you get a latissimus dorsi pump or soreness from deadlifts

>>42765919
I'm just running it as written. I've heard that it's much better for lower body lifts than upper but there's no harm in seeing how it works out for me to start with.

>mfw 4x12/12/10/8 chinups yesterday and tomorrow
If nothing else it'll help endurance.

>>42762228
westside for skinny bastards part 3, juggernaut method 2.0 has some conditioning work,

>>42765844
Would it be possible to get a video of your deadlift from the side view?

I'd like to see what it looks like.

>>42763008
>>42763031
>>42762802

These are retarded. Just add weighted chins and you have every major upper body muscle group covered. Sure the lateral and posterior heads of the delt get left out, but who want's to watch the worlds heaviest fucking lateral raise and face pull competition?

>>42766306
Weighed Chinups, bar must touch throat or collarbone. Sounds good.

Also max weight on the lateral raise sound fucking dope to watch. Would be great to see how people figure out ways to train this. Arms straight, above parallel, no leg drive.

What if lateral raises was added and the weight divided by ten or whatever could be a multiplier for all your lifts

This """sport""" has so much untapped potential

>>42766326
>>42766306
>1rm lateral raise
i can already see everyone snapping their cuffs

>>42766306
>you have to be strapped to something for testing 1RM face pull so there's no cheating
>only thing free to move is your arms

It'd be like a reverse straight jacket

>>42766326
>lateral raise
>above parallel

I'll pass. A strict lateral raise with a shrug at the top is physically impossible to take to parallel. A shitty lateral front raise where your arms move forward and above parallel is how you snap your shit up.

>>42766352
Until some fat retard trains stomach vacuums and uses his gut to propel himself backward against the resistance while still in contact with it at all times, smashing the WR.

>>42766081
yea after the first cycle you will see like no bench gains if you are an early intermediate
not enough volume

>>42765919
sounds like it let me know what your increased maxes are after the cycle

>>42762948
>mfw 181 lb/83 kg

>>42766306
And what would count as the weight? Bw+added weight or only the added weight?

>>42766557
Only added weight, in my opinion. Since weight classes. Maybe include bw for shw's.

You don't include bw in a squat though, even though the body weighs down on you.

>>42766557
Added weight, bodyweight only counts for tiebreakers. The only problem with this is that weighted chins will be way more important the 66, 75 and 83 classes than they are for the heavier/lighter classes because that's when added weight:bodyweight ratio tends to peak. 94s will chin as much as 75s and 105/120s are going to be putting up pitiful weight.

>>42765510
Are you referring to the rogue Ohio power bar or Texas power bar? Ohio bars are the best on the market for the price. Texas power bars are pure shit and can basically double as a noodle bar

>>42766648
I thought the Ohio power bar was whippier than the Texas power bar?

>>42766648
>>42766684
Nvm, just checked and I was wrong

>>42766648

Ohio Power bar

imo the Chris Chan is far better

>>42766684
Lol no. I train at a gym with dudes who compete at raw nationals and they claim that the IPF approved 20kg Ohio Power bar is stiffer than an Eleiko power bar.
Because it's marginally stiffer it's slightly harder to break the ground when you deadlift 500lbs+

and you fucks complained about 4x6 80% squats.

>>42766750
I agree with this, the knurling is more agressive too

>>42766997
>my post

how are the hands?

>>42767270
I think they use a much more aggressive knurl so it stays grippy longer.

>>42767293

Hands? Fine, I guess. Why?

>>42767293
I don't think he's hand lad

Why are squats so hard

I watch back my set and they all look ok

But they feel hard as fuk when actually doing them

>>42767366

I don't know who handsanon is, but I'll use the image if I want to. I like it.

>>42760464
75% is a 10rm, something is wrong here

My legs are kind of sore from yesterday's bench/OHP session (what the actual fuck??) and it's leg das today - skipping would be the best option I suppose?

>>42767655
>asking powerlifters if you can skip leg day

>>42767664
>having a leg day
>not making every day leg day

>>42767664
By skipping I obviously mean that I do it either tomorrow or the day after, whenever I don't feel soreness in my legs anymore.
For sure it makes no sense to train a muscle that is already sore??

>>42767655
>>42767664
>>42767683
this means no, btw. Just warm up and you're fine.

>>42767701
Are you sure you're in the right threadl friendo

Explain to me why it makes no sense to train a sore muscle

>take shit
>get everything ready to go to the gym
>take pwo
>step out the door
>have to shit again

every time

>>42767719
Because you would be a lot weaker in the exercises you do for them, thus only get little volume in thus barely hitting the muscle.
On top of that, if a muscle is already sore then it's still regenerating and there is no need to further train it?

>>42767748
>he still gets sore

I miss being a total amateur

>>42767760
increase your volume and you'll get sore

>>42767439
weak core

>>42767748
Soreness doesn't mean shit. Soreness means you exerted yourself in a way the body isn't accustomed to. You yourself said your legs are sore from pressing. Unless you were push pressing the shit out of the OHP there's no way to tax the legs enough to hinder a leg workout by pressing. Go do your fucking squats with same weight you'd use anyway and wonder why you even asked this question.

>>42767760
Had a longer break from lifting

>do some a mix of programs, c6w+ 2int bench
>think man i really need to get stronger at rowing aswell
>think why not do 2int for rows too
so i am basicly doing a push pull legs setup now lmao. Also i do need to bulk up anyway so i basicly do a couple of accessory after the mainlift then i go home. This is actually great for doing some bb for the weakparts on the side

imagine doing this on a fullbody setup used to take me 2-3 hours to get it done. Anyway that was my blog for today

>>42767781
Okay okay, but have you considered that my biceps are also sore?

But tbqh idk what happened to my legs, quads are more sore from OHP than my squat session 3 days ago kek

What % of max do you think is best for practicing form? The higher I go the more issues I have focusing on my technique. There's always some form degeneration the closer I get to max, where my mind can only focus on exerting force. On the contrary if I go too light the movement feels trivial, no resistance to challenge technique.

think I have a bump where I put my high bar squat

should I be worried?

>>42767825
Just do what you want. I wouldn't skip. I've gone done squats and diddlies with sore everything before and I've been fine.

>>42767774

Is ab wheel and planks enough for core?

>>42767862
yes also try the paused breathing squat stuff that nuckols does

>>42767847
Most likely your C7 vertebrae, which is slightly too high.

>>42767848
Alright lad.
Had I known that sore biceps feel so fucking shit I would just not have curled like the last 3 years.
What a gay muscle

>>42767736
Take pwo on the shitter, stay put until after the 2nd wave. Use this time to read that novel you keep putting off or learn a new hobby like crochet.

>>42767736
Is it loose? I've heard caffeine can give some people loose shits.

>>42767888
>he doesn't tie flies while taking a shit
Were you raised by a single mom?

I have pretty small traps, so it's hard to get it stable otherwise.

>>42767915
In England, 'fishing' is mainly just sitting next to a canal with a rod whilst smoking weed with your mates, so no.

Learning sumo deadlifts because I have crazy hip mobility and long arms, so I should be pretty good at it eventually.

How low should I get my hips for the sake of getting them closer to the bar? I can open them up all the way to basically 180 degrees, but that puts the midline of my thighs basically parallel to the floor.

At what point does opening up further become a detriment because you have to start lower?

>>42768032
>has long arms
>still wants to shorten the rom even further
youre a special kind of person

>>42768042
a powerlifter?

>>42765998
Yes to soreness

>>42766098
Sure. Check insta in a few days

>>42768032
>At what point does it become a detriment
When your hips rise when you first pull on the bar

Thanks m9. Sounds simple enough.

>>42768192
What do you lift for

Been sick for last 3 days, constant vomiting and diarrhea. Not been able to eat, lost 5kg so far.

plz my gains are dying.

>>42768185
what kind of imbalances senpai

>>42768215

Had all kinds of tightness and trigger points in the right side of my back. Apparently it's also slightly bigger according to my physio.

That's the side I grip underhand so not sure if it's a coincidence.

>>42768226
Time to say goodbye to your thumbs cause it looks like you're a hook gripper from now on

>>42768202
Habit

And I don't like feeling like a flabby piece of shit.

>>42768226
>>42768215
>>42768185
this reminds me that I don't actually know which over/under hand I'm stronger with. I literally just take a random grip. Looking at recordings it's not consistent either.

Is this avoiding imbalances or just making my deadlift weaker

Fuck what was it.

Test. Test. Test right test.

Btw did you know full metal jacket was filmed entirely in the UK?

Attention shitposter: Yes, you! It would have appeared you have made a grave mistake. The post that you have just made isn't fitness or PLG related. Your post is contributing to the degradation of PLG general. It would be much appreciated if you could direct your post to the appropriate board/thread that it pertains to. Thank you.

>>42768331
Thank you for a (you). I removed the post since you asked nicely.

Am I the only one hating straps for DL? It turns my form off a lot

>>42768377
i pull less with straps and i do hook grip...

>>42768377
Try figure 8 straps.

I know what you're saying though, straps obviously don't come without compromise.

>>42768377
I've found you'll have to put a lot more effort into cue-ing lat tightness when using straps.

>>42768411
>>42768411

8 straps look good but again I like to stand up and make sure my feet etc are set right

on straps often before pulling weight of the ground I catch myself rolling the bar to my shins beacuse its out of position and its also hard to break the bar with lats

FUCKING STRAPS A MEME

Is it just me or is powerlifting quite popular nowadays

Especially among grills

>>42768473
>Especially among grills
yes

its the equivalent to gamergurl i would say

Never trained core because I'm a lazy fucker and got memed into "squats and deadlifts are enough"

Should I start training them now even though I'm cutting?

>>42768780
If you have energy I always stick one set in after a workout

>>42768780
>got memed into "squats and deadlifts are enough"
thats not a meme though

>>42768780
>>42768792
I'd recommend more than one set but not after every workout

>>42768796

My brother does squats and deadlifts AND ab isolation

GUESS WHO HAS THE BETTER ABS

>>42768822
>muh anecdotal evidence
im obese and i do ab isolation and my slim friend does just squats and deadlifts guess who has the better abs

yes thats how retarded you sound

>>42768780
Core is always a good idea, just don't overdo it. Highly recommend ab wheel if you're able, planks otherwise.

how long should i rest in between sets if i'm doing starting strength? i have been failing my squats a lot recently

>>42768780

squats, deadlifts, correct pullups are enough

you can do some isometric shit but whatever wouldnt bother

>>42768996
As long as you need

>>42768996
No more than precise 316 seconds

>>42767270

The knurling in the OPB is beautiful.

>>42769106

Chris Chan bar is far better

OPB is too coarse, CC is nice and fine

Can I make the new thread lads? Oh please, can I?

>>42758058
does 1/2/3/4 refer to 1RM's?

when my back has a pump my left spinal erector feels considerably bigger than the right one. I also feel like I can contract it harder, if I'm trying to contract one side. If I reach behind my back and touch my spinal erectors with my left hand, the left feels much bigger. If I do it with my right they feel about the same.

Is this something I should look into

I change my deadlift grip every session

>>42769588
Not really, everybody has some minor imbalances.

Might be worth it if you want to compete in body building but for powerlifting i wouldn't give a shit.
