>Commisar's notes on the dank, zesty Meme Method (DZMM)
http://pastebin.com/u0jiY8sM
There's what I assume is an OWL station at my gym of basically a long bowling alley with a squat rack on it and all I ever see people doing there is squats and deadlifts with coloured plates
What's the difference between Olympic weight lifting and weight lifting? Why are these guys using fancy station with fancy coloured weights instead of lifting regular plates like everyone else?
>>37590620
Weightlifting is the sport that involves competing on the Snatch and Clean & Jerk. Just like Powerlifting is the sport that involves competing in the Squat, Bench, and Deadlift.
Saying "Olympic" before WL is simply to help people who don't know much about it to identify what it is, as many people say they are doing "weight lifting" which is simply working out in the gym with regular weight training, not the actual sport.
Coloured weights are simply for ease of identifiability, because all the plates from 25 to 10 are all the same diameter, unlike with regular cast iron plates.
Red plates weigh 25kg, Blue 20kg, Yellow 15kg, Green 10kg, White/Black 5kg, Red 2.5kg, Blue 2kg, Yellow 1.5kg, Green 1kg, White/Black 0.5kg.
For Powerlifting, those coloured plates are made of steel so that they are thinner and can fit more plates in the bar (as heavy deadlifts can requires over 400kg, which is a lot of plates).
For Weightlifting, those coloured plates are made of a synthetic rubber material (aka Bumper Plates). They are thicker (which is not a problem as the weights used are not as heavy as in PL), but they have a bounce when dropped on the floor. This is because WL training requires the athletes to be able to quickly release the bar if something goes wrong in a rep, in order to avoid injury - as the lifts are performed really fast and often overhead. As the plates are bumpers, they can hit the ground and not suffer or cause any damage.
The plates being bumpers also make it easier to get the bar from overhead back to the floor, as the lifter can simply drop them, instead of having to lower them in steps back to the floor.
As PL does not include any overhead lifts, this is not much of a concern for them. But while bumper plates are not used in PL competition, there's also nothing wrong with using them for training - specially if training the squat outside of a rack with safeties (then you can just drop the bar on the floor if you fail a rep).

Does this mean Chinese drugs are more advanced?
>>37591363
Dat dere celltech
>>37591363
Or that they only tested USSR athletes.
>>37591363
Can't believe how stupid the Kazakh and Belarusians are using Stanozolol. Chinese don't get caught because they aren't dumb enough to use such a high profile drug. Part of that is the fact that they do a lot of work with anabolics so you're not wrong
Where were you when Aramnau was revealed to be the true natty king?
>>37591549
>ridiculous WR breaking performance
>three BLR lifters caught in 2012
>everyone has been talking about aramnau doping, even the commentators of later iwf championships
No way Aramnau is escaping it this time. Only if the 2008 samples they have are really bad.
>>37591572
>everyone has been talking about aramnau doping, even the commentators of later iwf championships
that is in reference to his suspension for dank kush in 2010, not steroids.

The only reason I want him not to get busted is so that Klokov lovers like trappy will shut up and stop riding the dick of a retired lifter whose last international comp was 5 years ago
>>37591623
>being silver medalist in the olympics and gold medalist in the worlds is bad results
lmfao reddit pls go
>>37591623
Klokov is universally liked/loved, because he is sexy as fuck, also very charismatic, you this in a lot of interesting and great fields, from sports to science, while the field has many wonderful/intelligent people, certain individuals, despite not being at the very top gain prominence due to their charisma, klokov is an example.

Don't you know? You come home to Mother Russia wearing the gold, one way or another.
How do you non-obese skinnlets feel that i am pausing your belted wrapped 1rm?
Lmao literally jelly of my fatassery huh?
>>37591939
nah I can pause my 1xbw squat pretty easily
>>37591772
Being second in the entire world is at the very top. He may not be at the level of people like Ilya or Lu, but they're not even human.
>>37591939
You aren't, though. I'm 79kg and can pause 155 ezpz. You're just weak. And fat. And, apparently, very insecure. Great job, faggot.
>>37591939
Mirin desu.
My squat form has been going downhill since I have been adding weight this last year (coming back for a knee injury), 85 to 115 in about 4 months.
What should I do? Do I take a step back and focus on form?
Also is this a good weight to buy oly shoes at/which brand should I buy?
>>37591939
lol i snatch that
>>37591939
Those moobs
>>37592119
If your form is good i see no reason to take a step back and focus on form
>Also is this a good weight to buy oly shoes at/which brand should I buy?
Lad... You should have shoes from day one to be honest, but get the Adidas ones i have or Romaleos
>>37592178
Girls like ass, so why would they not want to play with my boobs as well as my ass? What can i say im a real lady pleaser

>>37591939
>140kg
>impressive
>bw 130kg
This is what "powerlifters" really believe
>>37592258
Impressive? Fucking lmao why would i think its impressive to pause something i can do 20 reps with
>>37591534
Oh great sage what should they use huh? Stanozolol is one of the best drugs for strength gain.
Also, what the fuck why we need a new thread fucking dick
>>37592272
Cos you're posting all-over trying to impress everyone. I paused 10kg more than this today and I reckon I weigh a good 30kg less
>>37592277
Obviously they shouldn't have used it since it lost them their titles
>>37591939
LMAO you fat fuck why would i want to pause 140kg looking like that? You see this? its called a JAWBONE and yours is HIDDEN by FAT, YOU FAT FUCK
I can eat pizza and burgers year round and not gain an ounce of fat, and my sixpac is chizzled at all fucking times, you mirin? yea you mirin

What is fit's stance on Adidas' Powerlift 2 (90€) vs Powerlift.3 (100€) vs Power Perfect (110€) vs Drehkraft (150) vs adiPower (175€) vs Leistung (260€) vs Nike's Romaleos 2 (200€)
>pls no bully on prices, EU pricing is ridiculous
>>37592352
>I can eat pizza and burgers year round and not gain an ounce of fat
OH BOY HERE WEGO!
Ectomorph, amirite?!
>>37592335
You implied there was something better.
>>37592272
>posted this video of my fat ass in a thread where almost everyone squats more than i do at 50kg less bodyweight
>not fishing for compliments
the only thing you should be doing 20 reps of is fork putdowns, fatty
>>37592388
If you want real weightlifting shoes it has to be power perfect, adipiwer or romaleos
Power perfect are OK but lower heel and it compresses
Power perfect are decent if you don't wanna fork our for adipower or romaleo
>>37591939
Looks good, but then again i can pause squat half my body weight also pretty easily.
>>37592352
Aay Lmao

the new romaleos 3 is rumored to come out after by the end of this year
http://www.garagegymreviews.com/2016/06/10/nike-romaleos-3-first-look/
>>37593409
looks p ninja desu
>>37593409
Do I wait for the 3s to come out so the 2s are cheaper? My feet are pretty wide so the Romaleos might be the best fit (as per the reviews I've read).
Then again it might be worth it to get the cheapest adidas since my lifts are kinda garbage anyway
>>37593625
you can if you want.
romaleos never went under 150 dollars tho
>>37591876
>Doesn't know what he's talking about
