I don't powerlift and I have shit stats but im going on a second bulk and need a new home to shitpost in because I have no general to call home.
Can I stay here?
>>34917895
no unless you go to at least 1 powerlifting meet
>>34917895
only if you post dank memes
Omg did you guys hear about what happened in France?
>>34917895
Yes. Plg is 60% memeing and 40% relevant powerlifting content anyways. It's sad, this thread is guaranteed going to have Sean posts, just like the one before it and the one after it.
>>34917898
Well im not going to tripfag here or avatar but I need a new home since i got kicked out of mtfg and gaygen im not gay so im lonely and jrpg is done for
I have literally no place else to go
My squat is garbage only 200lb but that's why im bulking. My first bulk I was scared to deadlift and squatv because I fucked it up but now my bulks going to be good.
225 bench 3x5
Ohp 145 3x8
Im just lonely and want to be around the best lifters
I wish I could be a better powerlifter but im joining the navy in five months so I have to stay natty
>>34917915
Nobody here expect bagboyshorts and garage "rows build a big deadlift" bro, they are both degenerates.
>>34917915
>stay natty
You take roids?
>>34917923
What
>>34917924
I wish
I want to take roids once im out of the navy
Im going to sacrifice gains but I want to love lifting again
>>34917946
>I want to love lifting again
It needs to come from the heart. You gotta enjoy it to love it, and lower your expectations. Steroids aren't magical serum that will make your deadlift jump to 600 lbs. Think of it as a journey, not a destination. Stop worrying about getting that 2000 lbs total under a year and just do it for fun.
>>34917946
Let me help you with tripfag trivia
If you see one these these tripfags post this is what to say to them
>Isley
You can't even bench 2pl8 after 15 years lifting, oh my fucking god I'm dying.
>Bodorio
Can you even do a front flip you fat fuck?
>Bagboyshorts
>takes steroids
>less wilks than Isley
>Garagebro
Got any drug recommendations senpai?
>Benchbro
Literally a cUckold, he watches big black men squat on his gf's face while he sits in his wheelchair and strokes his lower back from the squat accident.
>>34917913
>40% relevant powerlifting content
that's a generous approximation
>>34917971
Lel thanks senpai
You ever go to lgbt i got the dank tripfag help list also
I can hook you up with a tranny also if you need
Can isley really not bench2 pl8s?
Ive seen his name everywhere
>>34917965
For sure
I have already went through one bulk but im so excited to finally enjoy fitness again
I feel like when I started but more intelligent and going to learn from my mistakes
>>34917999
It is true, Isley has been training 15 ducking years and can't bench 2pl8 but he can deadlift almost 300kg...
What's worse is bagboyshorts takes STEROIDS and is weaker than Isley
>>34918028
How are those stats even possible?
It makes me happy that im not the only guy that fucks things up...
Why doesn't he just get his bench up...
>>34918036
He's been trying, he's added 5kg to his bench in 3 years or something.
He did something called the "wilks" cycle, which is a troll routine by some old fart and it actually made him a lot weaker lmao
>>34918048
Lololol
Even I have a two pl8 bench easily
Why doesn't he just do the same thing that got his deadlift high...you know linear progression...
>>34918073
He won't listen to anybody, if you give him ANY advice he will just tell you to fuck off and take his trip off
>this thread
>>34918093
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cnawm4DbycM
>>34918086
Lelel top fucking kek
Ive seen his name a ton over the years on fit also didn't realize he was such a retard. Like that one trip thar made the second stick noone uses. I thin his names harsh. I haven't lurked here in a year missed the entire supermang thing sadly.
Is benchbro ok? Did he really get paralyzed?
>>34918115
Benchbro started doing squats and deadlifts again with awful form, just awful and he he damaged his lowerback bad so he's now in a wheel chair.
Seriously I wish I had the video on me, he basically created the letter G with his body when squatting.
>>34918048
>something called the "wilks" cycle, which is a troll routine by some old fart
lol
>>34918156
I know right, only a fucking idiot would follow a rehashed 5/3/1 program by somebody as weak as wilks
>texting I love you to my family (family)
>they all text red hearts back
Its a cosy feel. Love ur family lads. Send your dad a gift.
>>34918137
Jesus Christ that's scary...
That's why I stopped doing those lifts because ivec almost fucked my shit up
Is wilks an actual troll routine?
>>34918186
Yeah wilks is some dyel old man, nobody ever makes gains on his """"""""""routines"""""""""""
Is Sean samefaggin?
>>34918189
Isley gained 2.5kg on his bench in only 16 weeks following one of wilks programs
>>34918222
>novice bench press
>2.5kg in 16 weeks
>good
Eloel
>>34918222
That's fucking horrible lol
>>34918299
It was sarcasm, you autistic egg
thoughts on my new routine guys?
>lmao 4 pl8 dead
>my right ass cheek hurts whenever I try to go higher
I never stretch, is this maybe my problem?
the retarded normies are taking their disgusting hangover shits and i can hear every sound. why the FUCK is my room beside the toilet? and now they're moving to the kitchen once again to discuss how drunk they got and i can't make food for at least another hour. i'd love to put them all in a black bag and throw them in the river. cunts.
Is GARAGEBRO HERE
I NEED YOU PLEASE
>>34918578
Eat more, do Hepburn
>>34918338
enjoy your volume
>>34918587
It's none of that, I need a video of him doing barbell Rows
>>34918486
>i can't make food for at least another hour
stop caring what other people think about you, it doesnt matter. they just want to see you fail
>>34918592
Go heavy, do cheat rows. You can never have an upper back that's too strong.
>>34918611
Are you being facetious? I just wanna see how low he goes so I can imitate the strongest deadlifted in plg
What is the purpose of training in a singlet?
>>34918632
Comfort?
>>34918632
you wear one in a comp
>>34918632
It's literally comfier than any conceivable shorts or trousers.
Once you try it few go back.
Only downside is the price.
how did joffrey (the dude with the weird ass haircut who is really dang autistic) do in his meet
>>34918622
Interested in doing farmers walks with the intention of improving my deadlift. Does anyone have information on how Garagebro would do them?
How often, for how long ect
>>34918677
Add me to the plg group
>>34918589
whats wrong with the volume?
fuck dont tell me this routine suck, since i paid for it
>>34918727
Is this a joke? It does suck, how much did you loose out?
There's a dozen better programs with detailed books you can download from the Dropbox on the powerliftinggeneral.com website
>>34918736
no its not a joke, i didnt pay a lot its just for $1 on barbellbrigade.com
can you please share the link for better routine then? thanks

>>34918759
Stats?
>>34918778
Why?
>>34918779
kinda embarrassing, did a strength routine for 5 months never lifted before
current stats (im 6' 185lbs) are:
all for 5x5
squat ATG: 220lbs
dl: 300lbs 1x5
bench: 180lbs
OHP: 100lbs
>>34918778
>if done incorrectly bad for knees
Fixed
>>34918826
How do I perform them 'correctly' ?
>>34918811
Id say you could probably still run SS with those stats, however if you don't make gains on SS then the only two programs that I can coach for are Texas method or Madcow. I prefer Madcow because I like percentage based programs.
It's up to you, there's plenty more than TM and Madcow, Jonnie candito's 6week program may interest you, or even his linear progression program.
What glute stretch do you do before squats or diddy senpai?
>>34918841
1xF up-the-bums
>>34918832
Light weight high reps, like all other single joint assistance exercises
I would rate but I'm a noob.
Please rate mine, been doing this for 2 weeks (after doing 2 months of SS) and feels good, I'm adding weight/reps to my lifts constantly.
>>34918999
Whoops, wrong thread.
Meant to post in /routine/.

Lad, they're fucking with you. Isley has like 120+ bench
Benchbro isnt kill
Boardshorts did do roids for a lower wilks than isley tho
>>34919061
what exactly is a "vertical press"
>>34919071
Incline bench
>>34919066
Actually it's 132.5 in the gym and 130 in comp but w/e
Did do quite shit at my last comp.
>>34919075
>130
Oh my god why do you trip?
Next you'll tell me you can't even do a front flip, mate even I can do a back flip.
>>34919088

Bodorio I can't get stronger on the dumbbell row
My grip strength is the limiting factor and I've been stuck on the same weight for months now
I've just reduced the weight by 10% and am increasing volume plentifully
What else can I do?
Lads, how does one ignore when the gf is so gigglish and attention seeking around male friends?
I kind of hold myself back, have some conversations but dont have that "hihi" jokes 24/7 kind of way to talk to girls when im in a relationship.
I guess im just retarded but its kind of triggering.
>>34917870
deadlifted on friday, pushed a little too hard and strained my back
didn't feel anything during or after the lift, or yesterday, but around noon today my lower back started getting really sore/stiff. I can't bend forward or sit into a squat without pain/discomfort
hoping to god the delayed onset means it'll sort itself out with a little rest
what are your experiences with stuff like this, and who has the best DL form video? i feel like i'm doing something seriously wrong, like i'm relying on my back too much and not getting my legs involved enough
I'm not even Sean but can you fat inflexible fucks not even front flip?
SERIOUSLY LMAO
>>34919764
>My grip strength is the limiting factor
Your grip strength cant be the limiting factor on an exercise that isn't meant for grip strength and is not a competition movement
Just use straps
>>34919652
>If you don't care about ipf approval
What's happened to you?
Then again I suppose it's not like you'll be competing at a level where they actually check any time soon
>>34919784
This is really fucking /stg/ of me but I sort of want to treat it like a semi competition lift
It's just a fun challenge you know and I'll feel a sense of accomplishment when I finally beat the plateau
Pls help
>>34919704
She didn't tell you because she thinks you're a creepy loser, I'm paraphrasing here but seriously George be a man
>>34919784
The dumbbell row IS meant for grip strength.
I'm serious, people do kroc and dumbbell rows for grip strength.
>>34919745
>Sean is a NEET
Yeah and so is Donald trump and bill gates right? Let's misuse words so they have no meaning shall we?
>>34919704
You're trash
>>34919812
I dont really know, sorry
have no experience with grip problems
>>34919773
I'm sure if bodorio fell on his stomach he would bounce away to simulate a flip lmao
>>34919820
Train it differently Jesus Christ I wish I never responded for you because your post has given me advanced cancer.
>>34919839
Says the faggot who deadlifts with straps
Yet you claim to have no grip problems
Get real deluded tubsy
>>34919812
Grip, as any other component, is technique dependant. I've noticed instant increases in my deadlift when I've changed where in my palm I let the bar rest. Find the right way for you to grip the dumbell, and if you still have problems, use straps on your heavier sets and do grip work separately.
>>34919823
Who is this Sean you're talking about? I was talking about some anon Isley was talking to. Is Isley Sean?

No the anon you were talking to was Sean (me)
My squat look like this what do to? I obviously have long femurs. Even though I use a lot of knee travel I still have to fold over because if I stay upright my knees travel alot forward and I have to squat a longer distance to reach depth and I'm also weaker in that position.

Can someone help with my form?
https://youtu.be/6x6CaQmNqPw
I managed to get up to 112,5kg squats but I think my form is really bad.Usually it takes 2-3 workouts to even call my new work set a squat.
I recorded myself doing deadlifts too because I'm not sure if my back is straight and I don't want to risk an injury.
I also tried for the first time ever sumo deadlifts because my conventional 1x5 is 100kg and I thought I was doing something completely wrong in conventional.
I feel I can't get the weight off the floor in the right way in both conv and sumo,the rest of the lift seems easy most of the time.
What do you guys think?Should I keep trying like this on SS or should I move to another routine?Complete stats are:
Bw 62,5kg
Bench 3x5 55kg
Squat 3x5 112,5kg
Deadlift 1x5 100kg
>>34919771
if it doesn't sort itself out in 5-7 days' time you may be in snap city brah
>>34920029
nothing
hitting the gym and doing a couple of light AMRAP sets
plan was to hit some rep PRs for fun, but I've been way too rekt for that. barely got 150 for 6 and 140 for 9 in bench. Records are 8/11 set like a year ago. barely hit 100 for 27, record is 31.
Could barely squat 220 for a double on wednesday, kek.
Planning on starting some real training on tuesday. bit early, but I got swedish national team championships in bench just 3 weeks from now so I gotta do something real
>>34920093
Poor bracing desu
Looks like you hinge, which is good.
Many will say get a belt, I wouldn't necessarily agree or disagree but would recommend squat shoes desu. Chucks just suck for supporting your foot, ankle, whatever.
>>34920128
Ignore the hiphinge/flatsarebad troll lads
>>34920093
I say this every time I think: Fix your walkout. Three steps. Three steps is all it takes to get that bar out. Four is acceptable if something is weird. Fidgiting your feet like that before the lift is just awful. Get grounded right away mate, don't pussyfoot around.
Good depth, good grind. Your wrist positioning shows me that you're holding the bar up with your hands, not on your back.
I'm not even going to bother with deadlift, because you had a comically light weight on the bar, and you were doing it from blocks.
You can get off a beginners routine like SS, when you are unable to ad 5-10 lbs to the bar per workout. Not when it gets hard, not when you think you can't, but when you can't.
Good session yesterday lads. Fucking hard though desu.
3X5 rehab squats @250, knees still feelin good.
5X3 Pause deads @72.5%, 2X7 deficits @70%
The deficit sets were quite difficult. Not sure if I should program them slightly lighter next cycle.
>>34920154
You know jack all about squatting, how much do you squat?
I bet all you know about lifting is shut you've heard on /fit/
>>34920166
Sean pls it's not working
>>34920128
>Chucks just suck for supporting your foot, ankle, whatever.
Jesus christ I don't know who the fuck started this meme, but they need to pls go.
We are not runners. We do not experience repetitive impact. We do not make sudden lateral movements on a field of play. Powerlifters do not require arch support, nor do we require ankle support. Too much ankle support can actually limit ankle mobility in the squat. We need a flat, relatively stiff sole. I mean Christ, look at deadlift slippers!
>>34920158
>Not when it gets hard, not when you think you can't, but when you can't.
or when you feel like picking a good programme like sheiko
>>34920117
Do you really excel when it comes to rep work or something? We pretty much have the same 1RM, but your AMRAP's blows mine out of the water.
>>34920075
>things I dont like are things sean does
lol
>>34920190
Are you a fucking child?
>Idisagree with you better claim you're a troll because I have no counter claim, I just KNOW you're wrong.
Hip hinging is how you preform the lowbar squat by DEFINITION, as well as that is the strongest position for the lowbar squat. That's scientific fact and there's evidence and research to back it up in a fucking NOVICE "baby's first lifting book"! How you don't know that by now only suggests you you're a novice and haven't read starting strength or ANY OTHER lifting book, which is why I question your source on knowledge.
Converse shoes are literally a thin layer or cotton and a thin plastic insole, real fucking supportive when you have 600lbs on your back, r-right
Lads, would anyone recommend using BCAA's as a supplement?
Thoughts, opinions etc?
sean's giving me a tension headache lads
>>34920227
>using starting strength as a source for anything ever
ELBOWS UP
>>34920195
We're talking about squat shoes dipshit, specifically for the squat.
Examine the picture and then look at your cotton thin walled chucks, notice any fucking difference to the shoes structural integrity on supporting the fucking weight?
>>34920246
It's /nbbmn/, given your name perhaps some Fanisk will help alleviate it
>>34920226
Those are all trademarks of sean. He is very unoriginal and repetitive
>>34920239
>Flavoured water
You wont notice a difference
>>34920128
I'll try to focus on correct bracing,thank you.
>>34920158
Thanks for the input.
Deadlifts are actually not on blocks,the plate's dimensions are not standard and even with the added space it should be some cm lower than actual bar height.
I know 95kg is babby weight,I was afraid of my back being rounded so I wanted to see if I can safely add weight.
who here /hardtoirritate/ ?
>>34920260
Where's your knowledge from, where's your source, what book have you read, what reference can you give?
Starting strength is the only programming book which goes into scientific examination of form efficiency and all else.
There isn't many other better books on training, not that there isn't any, but starting strength is one of the best.
You only dislike it because you associate it with novice training, however you speak English, but you have to learn English when you're quite young, so surely speaking English is for children ;^)?
>>34920282
Hey friend can you post a picture or video on how you do your barbell rows? I decided despite injury I will do them.
Form check?

Thanks breh.
Lad, while you're here what supplements would you recommend? I'm already taking Whey, ZMA and Omega 3
>>34920308
>your reference
pic
>Starting Strength goes into scientific
no, SS is in no way scientific stop abusing that word
>english analogy
lol i hope you didn't spend too much time on that
>>34920325
Pull the chest up and it's pretty good, learn to hinge though
>>34920308
Mark Rippetoes coaching of squat technique is very narrow minded. The implication that there is a one size fits all approach to form is delusional. Its asking for delt strains for a start unless your shoulder mobility is exemplary. Further to this elbows up disengages the lats, a spinal stabiliser, and puts you in a position to collapse forward as soon as weight gets significant
>>34920325
joe always has the best music for his videos lol
>>34920239
Snake oil, imho
>>34920227
>Converse shoes are literally a thin layer or cotton and a thin plastic insole, real fucking supportive when you have 600lbs on your back, r-right
Stop. with. this. shit. You are not striking the ground when you squat dipshit, a little fucking insole is going to do jack-all under load holy hell. Just because you read some bullshit article on powerlifting to win doesn't mean we need to go grab oly shoes with a heel that pitches us too far forward.
>>34920338
>the guy doing squats on the front of your book is hinging
Lmao
>>34920344
The hell are you on about?
>>34920308
Drawing a stick figure, using elementary mechanics and then making conclusions as if it was an accurate model of the human body is not scientific.
>>34920357
>heeled shoes pitch you forward
>>34920368
i don't even know what the argument is, just amused that you use ss as a source
>>34920394
I'm mentioning SS as a book that studied the specific movement.
>>34920381
Well aren't you glad that's not what SS is then?
>>34920336

But if you're trying to troll, you need to be better about hiding your identity.

the girl she lost to is undefeated - don't see her being as cocky
>>34920427
Whatever this is such a moot argument and nobody can prove anything.
>>34920437
There's nothing to prove, SS utilizes very much simplified models and Rippe's intuition on how the body works. He may be right, he may be wrong but it sure as shit ain't scientific

strength is losing desu
guys if i join a powerlifting gym, is it more likely i'll be taught good form?
or will they not like me because they consider it a sport.
i just want to get strong with no injuries.
>>34920419
Do those cheat rows actually work well? I'm running Madcow 5x5, can I really do those types of rows?
From the looks of it, it seems to benefit from high volume due fo the smaller ROM, but rows in Madcow aren't exactly "high volume" in regards to what the video demonstrated.
Some please change this to /plg/
>>34920450
You are aware that Starting Strength was co-authored by Stef Bradford who competes as an Oly lifter and has a doctorate, as well as three other Dr.'s made major contributions to the text itself?
>>34920468
Im alternating 8x8 and 3x20-30
Using 105kg for both but feels light, will add 5kg a session til its hard then 2.5kg
You could add weight and cheat the 5 or do your top set amrap?
>>34920461
>good form
What do you consider "good"?
Because you will be taught the techniques used to best abuse the rules of our sport.
>>34920498
Thats the same with any sport
Every sport is a case of push the limits as much as possible yet everyone expects powerlifting to be pure
>>34920498
>What do you consider "good"?
i dont want to get hurt or snap my back.
hurt myself with a press the other day. i need someone to watch and coach me so i can get strong and not hurt
>>34920486
The content of SS remains unchanged whoever co-authored it
>>34920492
Would it be alright to just "cheat" those rows? I cheat bench and squats and deadlifts, I guess.
If you promise it will build me a strong and big upper back then I'll just do it.
>>34920519
Because it's factual.
>>34920512
Not saying it's bad, I'm a huge proponent of it, just giving anon an expectation of what he'll find.
>>34920518
You need a coach then. Joining a PL gym will not get you that.
>>34920519
Yes, it remains beased on a solid anatomical knowledge and scientific basis. Is the form Rippetoe teaches optimal for powerlifters? No. Is it optimal for newbies touching the barbell for the first time? Hell. Yes.
>"yes i'm dating a non-virgin, i dont think there is anything wrong with that"
>"what do you mean i wont live up to the expectations chad and jamal gave her?"
>"what do you mean 'used goods'? she's only dated ten other guys!"
>>34920546
No, making elementary observations on one model of the human body and then giving a conclusion along the lines of "this is optimal for everyone and what everyone should do" is not scientifically sound. It's due to these retarded leaps in logic Rippe comes out with brilliant statements such as "WLers should lowbar squat".

You shouldn't expect better of Mark Rippetoe. I mean, he can't even write a good beginner strength program!

i hope you realize you're the single worst thing about these threads
your posts add nothing of value to the discussion and they bring no enjoyment to anyone but yourself (if they do even that)
the world would genuinely be a better place without you

How's your bull Joe?
>>34920738
How's your fucking ugly disgusting 2/10 girlfriend benchbeta?
>>34920738
Why haven't you killed yourself yet benchbeta?
does the sheiko app round your percentage down or up, so say 85% is 472, is that be 470 or 475? If it was 473 would that be 475 or 470?

i'm a tall guy and do wide stance squats. When I power clean i always seem to catch the bar in a fairly wide stance too. is this a problem?
>>34921090
Yes, you don't power clean in powerlifting.
I am an homo. How safe it is to hit on bear mode powerlifters at a gym? Will I get mauled by bears in a bad way or a good way?
>>34921061
It's designed for kgs, so neither
Are nsaids natty?

Tbh a couple more threads like this and I'm going to have to find a new general. We're reaching a new all-time low here lads

My 2 recent PRs. Your thoughts on from?
Tomorrow I will be starting Omar's and Greg Nuckols's program, anyone got experience with their programs?

Is there any purpose to training the lifts with more ROM or tut compared to comp?
Is deeper squats, long pauses on bench, lowering deadlift slowly or utilizing more deficit pulls
>yesterday, back is fucked beyond belief, go to gym to try and start cleaning up deadlift failure
>warming up and stretching, rolling the shit out of my back trying to loosen it up (knots and general tightness)

>give up, finish bench go home
>notice spot where hamstring connects to hip just under glutes on right leg has mild pain
>"well it doesn't hurt that bad so it can't be anything"
Woke up this morning, its extremely tender, walking causes mild discomfort, stretching it or bending over is unstable and hurts, walking up stairs is pretty painful.
I thought it couldn't get worse.
>>34921381
do you mind telling me what hamstring stretches you did? I have lowerback pain, foam rolling the shit out of it but I can't find any hamstring stretches that don't hurt my sciatic nerve or feel painful as fuck.
Anyway, I'm sorry rot hear, I'm not familiar with injuries so I couldn't give any useful advice other than read Bill star's rehab protocol, if you haven't already.
Good luck friend

>no source to back up his own knowledge
You want a source on how SS isn't written very scientifically and is using Rippetoe's (and co-authors) intuition a lot? Just read SS, note how it's completely unlike actual literature.
>>34920785
You don't even get what the discussion is about.
>>34921735
.. so a picture of benchbro?
>>34921742
All I see are some big opinions and no evidence or support to your claims.
Post your doctorate please.
