First for literally everybody is stronger sumo if they learn how to do it properly
Having a wnak
>>31640345
Don't worry too much man, it's not a huge deal. Chances are you aren't even as heavy as you need to be in order to be competitive anyway, so a recomp at this stage followed by some further bulking is probably in order.
Nothing wrong with a bit of extra blub, and use summer as a motivation to engage full sick kunt mode
tbh lads going to bed
Easy way to know bodyfat? also, anyone else feel pain when not flexing their abs/core? every time i stop flexing i just feel like i cant breath nearly enough and extreme pressure kind of pain.
>>31640383
Jesus fucking Christ what the fuck
who started the lads meme
>>31640383
jesus fuck lad
>>31640253
>implying you're not a dude
>>31640369
Do you think i should continue to cut
>>31640352
yeah, nah.
Guys, what would you suggest for bench accessories on candito's 6 week program? Horizontal pressing with dumbells fucking sucks.
>>31640383
why would you do that
mamabear pleeeeeease post some naughty pics :(
>>31640438
>if they learn how to do it properly
No offense, you're stronger than I'll probably ever be, but you can't even low bar properly you have no chance in hell to learn sumo properly
>>31640383
Holy fucking shit
Sorry I laughed I'm so sorry Praying 2 god 4 forgiveness
goodnite anon u fucked up piece of shit saving this onto your computer
>>31640352
>>31640438
>>31640439
Overhead work? I know the current meme is specificity but plenty of people who outbench me by a mile swear by overhead work.
At any rate, see pic >>31639706
>>31640460
Post dat booty girl
>>31640352
I agree, actually.
Except, apparently, Mike Tuchscherer
>>31640459
dude. thats what i'm getting at lol.
I legitimately do not believe that every one can sumo correctly do to morphology.
I am going to go on a FAR out limb and say that I am not capable of learning it.
Therefore, i am NOT better at sumo.
>>31640383
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>31640494
I want to see those hands spread
>>31640486
My biggest pet peeve is that Gibbs doesn't pull sumo
His conventional form is horrendous and he's got a build VERY well suited to sumo deadlifting
>>31640486
>I agree, actually.
are you going to switch or consider switching ever? or does old man wilks still have his leash around you
>enabling the fag that trips as mamabear
>>31640494
what do boobs feel like
others can answer too if they like
sparrow
bodorio
norsefat
>>31640491
Well you make a fair point, I should've said excluding those with anatomical limitations
>>31640518
I'll probably switch when I try equipped lifting. Deadlift suits help sumo more. I pulled a fatigued 260kg sumo, a week after comp failing 285kg twice, having done sumo for the first time the day before for heavy fives.
>>31640538
fair point. I don't think i can argue against that.
>>31640486
I remember it being "I'm not as wooden as I let on". I'm a quote nazi
>>31640352
well yeah, basic physics dictates that Work = Force x Distance
Assuming equal force between both styles (same weight, both accelerating against gravity),
distance (or range of motion) determines changes in work.
Sumo = less ROM
Sumo = less work.
>>31640582
Work is irrelevant in the sport of powerlifting.
>>31640474
I already do OHP. I was thinking of maybe doing some spoto presses at the end of the workout.
>>31640582
You're an idiot
That's not even close to being the primary reason as to why sumo is better
>>31640610
Spoto presses are fantastic, helped me break through a plateau I was stuck at forever almost immediately.
I'm curious to collect some opinions;
>Do you think that Powerlifting should be in the olympicss?
yes or no
>why or why not?
>do you think it would be Benefit, hinder, or not change powerlifting at all?
>do you have personal aspirations that influence your decision on weather it should be in the olympics or not?
I'm very happy to see lots of opinions for and against on this.
>pls respond i want to use these opinions later
>>31640613
so pulling the same weight over shorter differences doesn't make it easier?
>>31640602
>physics doesn't apply to sport
okay
>>31640352
I am not. And yes, I can pull sumo properly.
It's very dependent on proportions and hip shape.
>>31640582
>>31640613
Is right. It's about being able to leverage yourself against the bar better, not distance travelled. The adductors and all those fun muscles get wound up nicely with a good sumo stance
>>31640621
1) yes
2) it's less autistic than oly lifting
3) it'd benefit it, make it more natty
4) no, i don't even lift
>>31640330
I'm glad you like him too, he's doing well enough for himself but I still think he's underrated. You've hit on the better points of his personality.
>>31640621
no
boring
greatly benefit
no
>>31640621
>>Do you think that Powerlifting should be in the olympics?
yes
>>why or why not?
It'll bring more money into the sport and give us recognition
>>do you think it would be Benefit, hinder, or not change powerlifting at all?
I think it'll ruin everything fun about the sport at the top level but make the entry level much better.
>>do you have personal aspirations that influence your decision on weather it should be in the olympics or not?
Yes, I want to be part of bureacracy when it goes professional. Now is the best time to be getting into powerlifting for those reasons.
>>31640582
>it's not as far, therefore objectively easier
What are moment arms
What is mechanical ineffieciency
It would be nice if /fit/ actually completed a physics class before posting
>>31640629
Technique that decreases rom may also cause you to be relatively weaker (e.g. less mechanically efficient, struggle with muscle recruitment in that position). Which means less rom =/= easier lift.
>Assuming equal force between both styles (same weight, both accelerating against gravity),
This is where you fucked up.
>>31640621
1. Yes
2. Can't see any reason why weightlifting is considered and not powerlifting, aside from the reputation. If we can have Olympic racewalking then we can have Olympic powerlifting.
3. I'd think it would benefit. One agreed upon set of standards and rules, help eliminate the differences between federations, maybe some of the federations themselves.
4. Nope.
>>31640619
Nice. It's gonna be the first time I do them. Do you have any tips/things I should expect?
>>31640629
>>physics doesn't apply to sport
>strawman fallacy
Hah! You're just embarrassing yourself now.
>>31640621
Yes
Cuz i like it and its better than curling
I would like it to chance its rules so ridiculous shit such as two inch ROM in bench never happens
If i could go back in time to when i had 12 maybe
>>31640582
>Assuming equal force between both styles
You're making WAAAAAAAAAAAY more incorrect assumptions than just that.
>>31640621
>yes
>its a pretty easily accessible sport yet still difficult and i feel like that's a good combination
>benefit - more interest, standardized rule set, one fed(?)
>i'm pretty certain i'll never make it to the olympics, so no.
>>31640682
Candito has a good video on them. Keep it heavy, no more than 6 reps, I like a solid 2 second pause. It's a great way to really hone your technique, so make sure you're super cogniscent of your technique throughout the lift. Might take a little while to figure out where to stop (generally an inch above the chest, but unless you're looking you won't know where that is at first) but that's only at the beginning soon enough it'll become natural.
>>31640621
>Yes
>It's much more relatable to than oly for most people. On the other hand, it's not as exciting to watch
>Benefit greatly
>No
>>31640621
Yes and no
Too many lolfeds, only IPF should be Olympics.
Either only single ply IPF or IPF raw tho (but not both).
Would benefit immensely and largely kill off the lolfeds, would also push the sport to a new level in terms of performance.
I would deffo compete in the olympics if I was still lifting at a high level at the time it started in the olympics
>>31640743
>Too many lolfeds, only IPF should be Olympics.
Breh, the IPF is the only fed that could be Olympic.
All the other ones would get laughed out the door for their association with PEDs. Literally. Except perhaps the WDFPF but they'd be laughed out for having no members.
It'll probably be raw at this stage. I've heard that the next world games will be raw.
>>31640743
i'd argue for single ply, would help it stand out more against oly lifting, plus the crazy weight being lifted would probably be more appealing to the masses
What would you people think about combined weightlifting and powerlifting competitions?
>>31640769
I'd go to that for sure if it was raw
>>31640776
>plus the crazy weight being lifted would probably be more appealing to the masses
Or make everyone wonder why they wear stupid lifting suits that lift the weight for them and then become a lolsport. Either or.
>>31640787
dumb as fuck
So is anything actually happening about PL in the Olympics or is it still all maybe maybe
>>31640787
A nightmare to organise, find a venue for and stage. Two simultaneous platforms? Consecutively? Comps already take ages.
A lovely idea though.
>>31640787
Doesn't make sense, way too many lifts to train for and perform in competition.
>>31640798
Every year the IPF make an application to the IOC and get rejected for a bunch of reasons.
Current fixes they need to apply:
Increase out of comp (OOC) testing
Increase social media profile
To do that, they need to raise money to bring in professionals for the 2nd, and to pay for the 1st. Hence why the belt rule was brought in and why it was done without the knowledge of the technical or rules committees who usually decide and approve such things. Very dodgy dodgy.
>>31640787
There wouldn't be any powerlifters who could compete but there would be plenty of weightlifters who could
>>31640717
Nice. The thing about using lower reps worries, me, though, as I intended on doing it as one of the optional exercises (which Candito recommends in the 3x8-10 range)
>>31640621
>Do you think that Powerlifting should be in the olympicss?
Yes, the movements are relatable to a lot of people. The competitors bodies would likely be impressive to a fair amount of the audience when the roid levels go up because of the olympics.
>do you think it would be Benefit, hinder, or not change powerlifting at all?
Benefit it greatly.
>do you have personal aspirations that influence your decision on weather it should be in the olympics or not?
No.
>>31640843
Antonio Krastev was once invited to Powerlifting Worlds.
He bombed.
>>31640866
Pauses are fatiguing as hell. Ever done push ups like that? Not a heavy exercise but it gets to you in a few reps
>>31640528
basically gyno brah
>>31640895
Check the names
>>31640866
Doing it at high reps is going to kill you, pauses are best done in a lower rep range. To do it 8-10 reps you'll be lowering the weight to a point where the benefit just won't be there. I don't see why it can't be an optional exercise.
>>31640909
Not him, but I love you sparrow.
If I pay pal you, would you send me nudes?
Just like a 100$ or something.
>>31640895
I can see that happening too of course. There is a fair amount of exercise variation for some weightlifting teams though and plenty of weightlifters can bench decent numbers. A weightlifter's bench wouldn't likely be anywhere near as shitty as a powerlifter's snatch is what I'm getting at
>>31640947
It was more than he sunk the bar into his chest and took his head off the bench, and kept getting red lights for it. An easy fix.
You're right of course. I'm an exception, I know a guy who competes in both and I would beat him in a supertotal, because he's a considerably better WLer than me AND he benches more than I do 10kg lighter, but my deadlift is astronomically higher
>>31640555
I think you're right. I second-guessed myself and went with "stiff" because it seemed more normal.
Should have known it would have been Wooden, UCLA got farther in the tourney than anyone expected lel
>>31640619
Cool! What problem were you having that Spoto presses fixed?
>>31640621
I'd like to see it in the Olympics, but I don't care much. Ultimately I'd like to see it in the Olympics because 1. government funding, 2. I've always thought about public health from a very macro perspective, and I like the idea of having accessible sports than anyone can participate in being promoted, 3. IPF can finally rek the lolfeds and records will actually mean something.
I am apprehensive about what will happen to geared lifting, and I honestly feel like geared lifting is holding PL back. I don't hate on geared lifting at all, I like Alex Kang['s channel] and I save every CYC webm that gets posted here. But having "two separate sports" is a bit of a pain. In an ideal world, it shouldn't matter, because there are like 12 different swimming events so who fucking cares (Ilyin can only win one medal, Phelps and Spitz can win almost a dozen). I think geared lifting might need to be the sacrificial lamb, at least in the Olympics, for raw lifting to be accepted.
I would love, love, LOVE to see the Supertotal be an Olympic event. Put the Olympic meet at the opening part of the Olympics, and the IPF meet at the closing end of the Olympics for recovery/so the Oly lifters can train the powerlifts between the two sports.
Imagine if Ilyin or Klokov or someone managed to triple medal, in Oly, PL, and Super. Fucking UTOPIAN.
I'm a shit athlete with no ankles and no desire to compete at 120kg or above, which I would have to in order to maximize my height. I have no stake in this, personally. My only chance of ever competing would be in push/pull, and I highly doubt that'll ever make the Olympics.
>>31640982
That CrossFit meet you did was fucking hilarious
>>31641003
I think my issue was tightness at the bottom of the lift, and keeping form consistent. Would hit a sticking point a couple inches off my chest, but if I got past it the rest of the lift was easy peasy. I'm thinking I would lose tightness at the bottom of the lift and that would fuck me up. Spoto presses helped get me to stay tight, and worked basically right around my sticking point.
>>31641017
It really was, especially since it looked like he was the only person not having fun.
>>31641040
Thanks for explaining, I'll keep them in the toolbox.
>>31641017
I know. I felt guilty for winning it.
If i wasn't injured I would have full snatched 5/10kg more.
Also, geared lifting done well is so beautiful ;_;
Also your supertotal idea is amateurish and will never happen.
You know they changed the weightclasses to bring PL more in line with WL so the IOC wouldn't have to complain about how many medals we have?
I'm baaaaack. Took exactly 14 days off because I'm sprained my wrist deadlifting. Yesterday I did some benching with chains and got 225x1 +50lb chains.
Today I came in and decided I'd go for 5 plate deadlift again since I had finally taken a rest period.
5'10 or 5'11 not sure
19 years old
184lbs
Previous 5 plate attempt:
500lb sumo deadlift fail #2: http://youtu.be/Fc8z6gvTX4k
Today's attempt:
http://youtu.be/3UB3JUR2758
That change in the speed off the ground was awesome. Big milestone for me but not I feel like 5 plates is shit and I won't feel strong until I hit 6 plates. This happens every time I add another plate to my PR.
Also the pic is of my face. Every time I go heavy on squats or deadlifts this happens. It swells the fuck up. Blood vessels pop everywhere. My vision gets blurry and very watery. And my neck has these ache for a few hours. It stays like this for like 3 days.
I try to breathe only into my stomach but it doesn't work. Any advice?
>>31640352
I agree
what makes it funnier is when manlets claim
>muh proportions
when they're 5'6" and do sumo to reduce the range of motion to 3 inches.
Single prong or lever for my belt. I see both being used, not sure what the difference is.
how do i use my powerlifting know-how to get laid with girls in the gym
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LADS OH SHIT I HAVEN'T LAUGHED THIS HARD EVER

>>31641082
>not sure what the difference is.
Not much. Lever is easier to get on and off, but if you want to adjust how tight it is you'll have to pull a screwdriver out.
That's it.
>>31641082
Lever is better if you want consistent tightness/know you will be staying at the same weight for a long period. Your lever will probably get tighter than a prong belt if you adjust it so.
Single prong is better if you have a girlfriend or training partner you want to share with, you wear the belt differently for different lifts, or you plan on gaining or losing weight.
>>31641059
Secondary hypertension.
>>31641059

>>31641102
>screwdriver
Protip: I carry a butter knife in my gym bag and it works just fine for my Inzer.
I may as well leave forever now because this is probably the most useful thing I will ever say in this thread.
>>31641044
I am too good in PL (and rowing) to enjoy winning shit events and not good enough to do well at good events.
Look, look, for some of this boat this is the only race they've won in three years. Look at me. Do I look pleased? Fuck no, of course I should win Hexham intermediate fucking 3 eights.
>>31641059
sumo needs more external rotation, your knees collapse too much IMO
Agressive cut vs slow cut pros and cons? i really need to drop to 15%
>>31641099
>>31641111
>>31641112
I had to show what it looks like. I'm fucking worried this is detrimental to my health and I couldn't find anything about it.
Curious about entering a local comp.What are the average totals for the 66kg class in comps by you guys?
>>31640383
Wh-what did i just watch?
>>31641136
just go man, don't worry too much about big totalling
>>31641136
i would think 180kg squat 240kg deadlift and 120/130kg bench.
>>31641121
I think we had this conversation when you posted it the first time. You even used that picture.
I get where you're coming from, though. It's no fun stomping people out of your league.
>>31641116
I live in England, I can't walk with a knife in my bag.

Learn to vent a bit more air out. I used to get it all over my face and eyeballs. I press my tongue into the roof of my mouth and let it flow through that. Also some grunting
>>31641135
Your symptoms could be the result of high blood pressure (hypertension). BP increases dramatically when lifting really heavy, especially if you Valsalva.
>>31641121

Did you ever get the blurry eyes, horrible dizziness, and neck pain? And wouldn't I lode tightness?
>>31641052
Is the IOC actually trying to crack down on medal proliferation?
That's fucking horseshit.
I agree, the supertotal thing won't happen, but I don't see why an Oly lifter couldn't make the Olympic qualifier for his home powerlifting team, especially for the first little while where many countries will be fielding particularly mediocre teams. Maybe having a discrete medal for the supertotal is amateurish, but I don't see how allowing elite athletes more than six lifts to realize four years of training is an inherently amateurish idea.
Here's another crackpot idea that will never happen: put PL in the Winter Olympics.
>>31641082
I fluctuate between notches day to day. I would never use a lever personally
>>31641178
Does this mean I should go to the doctor?
>>31641185
And it used to not be this bad until I hit a 425 squat and 475 dead. And holy shit that gif
>>31640621
>Do you think that Powerlifting should be in the olympicss?
no
>why or why not?
Powerlifting is simply doing three heavy singles in three movements and that's it. It's not competitive past you training more so you can lift heavier than someone else.
In other sports in the olympics, you are being pit against your opponent physically and have to overcome what they put against you based on your culmination of technique, training prior to the event, and applied skill while they do the same against you. This creates interesting scenarios to watch and makes matches unique and great to observe. Powerlifting has none of that. It's literally you squat or don't squat the weight, then someone else squats or doesn't squat the weight and if you get a higher total you win. Wow, so exciting!
The same thing applies to oly style weightlifting. I'd much rather prefer strongman to be in the olympics. It has much more variance between participants and can be called competitive
>do you think it would be Benefit, hinder, or not change powerlifting at all?
It would make powerlifting more popular. Past that, I don't see anything.
>do you have personal aspirations that influence your decision on weather it should be in the olympics or not?
I am training in powerlifting and want to compete, but when I'm in my later 20s, I want to use powerlifting as my base for strongman. Powerlifting is more of a stepping stone. training for three movements is silly in my eyes and strongman is more functional in strength
>>31641161
>>31641197
They tried to remove all weightclasses in sports with exception of combat sports and Weightlifting to reduce the number of Olympic Golds handed out. But they kept lightweight rowing because they made a very compelling case.
>>31641218
Yes, because your hypertension (if that's what it is) could be caused by kidney or adrenal gland disfunction.
>>31641059
wow that first 500 attempt fail was gruesome. looks much better now. are you competing sometime soon? other lifts?
>>31641251
>>31641251

>>31641194
Neck pain and I'd see stars. It happens when i'm not careful. First time I pause squatted 405 was really ugly. Now I vent more air out and I'm good. It takes some trial and error. I would recommending dropping the weight for a few sessions and practice better breathing. Get some volume in. Have to go to bed now but that's all I can tell you from my experience
>>31641178
>especially if you Valsalva
Not this shit again. The Valsalva is what you do on a plane or when diving to equalise the pressure in your inner ears.
>>31641235
>But they kept lightweight rowing because they made a very compelling case.
Wait what? steering a canoe is an olympic sport? jk, ik lots of joke sports like ping pong are in the olympics
>>31641267
Just make sure you tell your doctor the exact same symptoms you told us. The more specific you are, the easier to diagnose.

>>31641136
i'm 74 kg and looking to total just under 500 kg for my first local meet, and i expect to place top 3-4, if that gives you any indication.
>>31641235
If the IOC actually cares about medal proliferation in weightclass sports (but gives zero fucks about swimming because fuck you), you can still give a single supertotal medal (well, OK, three medals, one gold) based on combined Wilks/Sinclair.
Are there any plans to reduce the number of weightclasses? If you look at Oly weightclasses as a cross section of the general population:
56kg-77kg: literal midgets
85: still raging manlets
94: getting into low-average height in most countries
105: reasonable height
105+kg: reasonable
Only 3 weightclasses will be relevant/relatable to the general viewing public. 5 weightclasses are only relevant to the bottom 10% in male height. Unless you want to use Indonesia and Vietnam to determine "average height."
The solution here would be 60, 80, 100, 110, 120, 120+. You've gotten rid of 2 entire weight categories and included a larger cross-section of the population.
Why is the IPF not just using the IWF weightclasses, anyway? 83kg and 93kg instead of 82kg and 94kg?
>>31641309
lol
lads just had a thought
say you take someone like norse who can deadlift 300kg let's just say
well say he can do 50 reps with 100kg
if i trained and hit a 100kg deadlift, then kept doing that until i could do it for 50 reps, would that mean i could do 300x1?
there is a potentially new strategy here
>>31641259
I really need to but I always sign up and back out. The reason is dumb and I know it is but I do ot every time. Every time I get near a meet my lifts start to shoot up and I think to myself fuck it I'll wait till I'm stronger because I'm not good enough yet. I'm a bad perfectionist. I'm closing in on a national record for my age and weight class and I tell myself I'll compete when I'll can do that. I know it's dumb but I don't change it.

>>31641297
>Implying wannabe powerlifters don't perform the Valsalva maneuver by complete accident
>>31641315
I'm only talking about the elite, obviously. I.e. those who will actually be at the Olympics. Obviously there are plenty of recreational lifters, some of whom even have elite totals, who are taller than what I've indicated "the elite" would be here.
A final solution, although a very clumsy one (given that any medal given away due to a coefficient instead of a total is a sketchy premise to begin with) is to boil it down to three categories: Sub 90kg, 90-110kg, and 110+kg, and hand out medals based on Wilks/Sinclair.

how fucking understanding of them. if they got rid of lightweight rowing that would be literally retarded.
>>31641354
see >>31641352
I weigh 79kg but stand at 180cm. I would literally need to gain 25-40 kilos to be an elite powerlifter. I will probably never exceed 93kg intentionally.
>>31641346
No. Specificity of training.
>>31641357
>heightism
again, please see my addendum. I'm only talking about the top 1% of athletes and what will naturally happen, not saying that "anyone who weighs 200lbs isn't an adult male SS+GOMAD."
>Why is the IPF not just using the IWF weightclasses, anyway? 83kg and 93kg instead of 82kg and 94kg?
Do you know, Isley? You're the most likely in here to know.
>>31641346
>>31641346
no becuase you have never trained for max effort work
when the weight gets heavy, think how much 5lbs can change how a squat feels.
>>31641352
I apologize for the spam, but I just had another thought.
The main argument against
>A final solution, although a very clumsy one (given that any medal given away due to a coefficient instead of a total is a sketchy premise to begin with) is to boil it down to three categories: Sub 90kg, 90-110kg, and 110+kg, and hand out medals based on Wilks/Sinclair.
other than allowing math rather than total determine medals (inb4 "total is still math") is that Wilks is an outdated metric, but Sinclair gets updated every Olympic. If powerlifting "made it," wouldn't it make sense to do the same thing?
This of course applies even without my crackshit idea; it'd be nice to have a Wilks that holds true in 2015 rather than in 1970whatever.
Pic related, it's the graph I made a few months ago
>>31641346
no sadly.
HOWEVER, that, to a much lesser degree, is one way of driving progress.
I made an interesting observation about myself today;
today i can pull ~320 kg (ish)
OR i can pull ~ 225 for a set of ten and be fucking #shrekt
a little over 2 years ago the most i could pull was 275 kg.
but i was able to pull ~ 225 kg for a set of 10.
let that sink in for a minute.
NOW, think about this;
when i started with a 275 kg deadlift and doing 225 x 10 (capability), i went from a 275 to 305 kg deadlift in like, 5 fucking months. and from there on, it took me 1.5 fucking YEARS to get to 317.5 kg
Let that sink in a bit.
I truthfully think i had the work capacity to build up to a 675 lb deadlift, and i did it - and then i kept trying to force progression through intensity increases towards 700, and there was no where left to go. I needed to increase work capacity, or AT LEAST train with volume and induce stimulus better instead of chasing 700 lbs.
this hit me pretty profoundly today.
god damn i need a job

Wilks wants to update his coefficient, but the IPF won't let him.

I see nothing wrong with this.
Kind of a cool video tbh.
>>31641739
I'm sure the IOC or IWF will force the issue if it ever comes to a head.
Any idea about the weightclasses, or is it just some relic of arbitrary sporteaucracy?

>>31641777
No one cares nigger.
>>31641855
dude, Ronda Rousey, would bang.
>>31641777
nice try bud.
forgot, did you start with your actual 1RM or did you drop to a training max? and how much weight have you deloaded from the original starting weight?
>>31641573
change foot angle, foam roll adductors, work on external rotation.
>>31641757
>Any idea about the weightclasses, or is it just some relic of arbitrary sporteaucracy?
PL wants different weight classes, because they want a 120kg class before super heavy weight.
It's not really a big difference.

Thanks bro. I started with my actual 1rm 505lbs, then deluded to 485lbs for the base cycle. Finished the base cycle with 545 1rm, then deloaded to 525lbs half way through the intense cycle.

her body is literally terrible, looks like a mans
>>31641874
Oh, weird, but makes sense I guess. Sort of arbitrary that they need an entirely different system just to have one extra class, but whatever.
I appreciate the insight.

gg so far, would you consider just running the base cycle after you finish?
>>31642000
So I take it you've never seen her crush in the octagon then? Anyhow, diffrent storkes y'know?
>>31642029
But its only like a 6/10 because she dpes nothing special with herself. She doesnt seem to dress nicely nor do anything different or nice with her hair. Basic/10 with a flat ass
>>31642042
This is not a good idea. Diminishing returns on effort makes it extraordinarily inefficient, even destructive considering the stress cost and required adjustment after.
>>31642057
6/10 is still above average though
but i think i myself would give her 6.5 maybe a 7 even, could be a solid 7
>>31642067
Hey Marcel what do you think about
>>31641573

I won't be able to comment until I see the results of the intense cycle. This won't be done again by me though, need to focus on aesthetics.

Don't play that shit in my (former) cul-de-sac, not gonna wait to get jumped either.
this is a very nice image.
I respond well to learning by images.
>>31642078
Dude, where the fuck in do you live that you get jumped for being black? Alberta?
>>31642095
AYY LMAO
>>31642095
Bingo.
Me and my bro got jumped a while back (18-19years old) at a pub, couple guys started calling us niggers, spitting at us, got sucker punched then a brawl broke out. Held my own but still got busted up.
Ever since then I have a low tolerance for racism, especially when someone is spray painting swastikas and nigger all over my house/fence and my old Jamaican neighbours house and fence. The guy was asking for it.

LAUGH MY FUCKING ASS OFF OH MY EL OH EL THATS EXACTLY WHERE HE LIVES EXXXX DEEEEE EXXX DEEEE
can anyone recommend what I should do for lower back pain? I did SS a while ago (after lifting bro-style for years) and ended up getting really strong I was DLing 500x5 and squatting 405x5 and then I somehow developed this lower back discomfort that hasn't gone away since january. doesn't feel like an injury or a sharp pain or anything, just feels like a vertebrae is out of place ;__;
>>31642151
Perhaps you should go back where you came from if you dont like it? Just a thought, im thinking out loud here
>>31642151
I literally couldn't care less about your skin colour, but you're an arrogant shit with very little reason
that's probably the reason you got jumped you fucking shit
>>31642067
i dont mean immediately after, but like the same as someone running RSR, doing it 1x a year
>>31642076
I don't know, as far as I know there are a few potential reasons that knees would collapse in, like lack of tightness in set up, quad weakness, lacking mobility, glute med weakness. Basically knees in will shift hips back and let you load hamstrings, or it's a positioning/mobility thing.
I couldn't suggest a universal fix offhand. Consciously forcing your knees out will go out a long way either way—don't repeat working sets where you allow it to happen if you want to stop it, unless you've got some outside fix you're working on.
>>31642157
Get help from a competent professional.
>>31642151
Holy shit. I live in buttfuck nowhere B.C., and that shit don't fly. Get the fuck out of there, AB don't got any jobs now anyway.

Alberta has to be the dumbest fucking province of all time
everything they did with their oil to this point has been wrong
goddamn learn a thing or two from norway you retarded fucks
canada is largely to blame to but holy fuck now alberta is in debt how does that even happen, yep no need to fear Ontario and Ottawa will bail you out just like Ontario bails out quebec everyyear
Ontario master race reporting in. Oh by the way I think ontario should cut off quebec and alberta because they are retarded fucks. We would of course retain all quebec waters and alberta oil as our own though

>tfw losing all gains
>>31642232
The Quebec issue is a lot more complicated than that and has been largely exaggerated by our de facto governing class since the Reform+CA merger, and definitely since the Reform+PC merger. In other words, Alberta has used Quebec as a scapegoat/metaphor for federal pandering and waste/metaphor for this idea that "muh western identity is ignored by Laurentian compromise Canadians." Seeing as the last Conservative PM of note was Mulroney, even the more progressive/more nationally eastern bloc of the party wasn't exactly eager to refute this notion, ass-backwards as it is. And given the Liberals went down with the ship on the sponsorship scandal (props to Martin in a way, he didn't have to systematically destroy his own political career and that of his party the way he did), they weren't exactly likely to subvert this narrative either.
On the other hand, I'd like to say that the Alberta issue is more complex than you paint it to be, but I've never seen a shred of evidence that you're anything but entirely correct.

Sorry, you spelled "Keeping the economy afloat" wrong.
>>31642337
Neither has aged particularly well, but both are excellent games.
New Vegas will be considerably shorter and easier to get to the point of diminishing returns regarding content, though. If there are time considerations, I'd choose based on that.
Between the two, my preference is for Skyrim.
