Can't fall asleep. Tfwnogf pretty hard right now which is weird because I never tfwnogf.
chatroom for fatties
Replaying D&D - Warriors of the Eternal Sun. I forgot how metal some of the tracks were, considering how primitive the Genesis sound chip was.
"Heavy" deadlift day coming after work. Doubles at 81%
>>34964146
Cuddle a pillow, that shiny New pr you are going to get will win gf
>>34964082
yeah
>>34964257
Fat room for chatting about eating whilst lifting?
>>34964264
I wish my deadlift day was that nice.
[email protected]%. Lots of them. I regret everything.
>>34964118
This guy
Yee really excited for program calling for 4pl8x2x4 squats
Should be a nice litmus test
>>34964269
None of the PRs before this made it happen. I just don't talk to new girls often or ever actually. I don't have a fear of rejection getting rejected had never bothered me. I think I'm just afraid of actually getting a gf. But I don't know why.
>>34964130
Where can I hear his voice senpai?
>>34964308
Squatting 5 plate for some singles Monday. Should be fun.
>>34964312
We are in the same boat.
>5 sets of wide-stance box squats
>>34964327
>tfw you might never squat 5 plates for singles in training
>tfw you might never deadlift 6 plates in training
feels overload lads.
>>34964327
Nice dude. I'm really excited to see what happens next max attempt. Squats have been feeling really light
>>34953702
>fraud tryna chat shit to us
>y-you guys don't look good
Yeah? Well you have diagnosable mental health issues and terrible interpersonal relationships. Which would I rather be?
>>34964336
How tall are you?
>>34964337
Same. This cycle is going really well. Can't wait to compete.
>>34964347

His instagram, friend!
My favorite clip has him talking during paused deadlifts.
>>34964347
This whole site has mental health issues
>>34964368
could u maybe link it u fucking retarded friend.
>>34964352
>can't wait to compete
Agh right in the feels
Won't know the competition feels for a while
I feel like I'll never be competitive
>>34964286
I think week 7 will have me in that ballpark. I should also be done cutting my then, lol
And I'm serious about the metalness of some if the tracks:
https://youtu.be/cf8DWWrqxMw
>>34964360
So you're about 5'8. If you lifted long enough you'd probably be most competitive at 93kg. I don't know of many 93kg PLers that trained for a long time and can't squat 5 plates for easy singles.
>>34964035

Sorry chummer, I didn't know you needed spoonfeeding.
>>34964394
>I don't know of many 93kg PLers that trained for a long time and can't squat 5 plates for easy singles.
ffs lad, george is RIGHT there
>>34964388
What do you define competitive? I'm not going you win my meet. Im not even gonna have the best wilks in the car I'm taking down there. What do I give a fuck. Just keep training. Getting stronger. And getting smarter.
>>34964394
Ow. My feelings!
>>34964393
That's pretty metal, in a Blind Guardian meets chiptunes sort of way.
I'm currently in a bulking phase. Or at least supposed to be, I'm getting motherfucking sick of food at this point.
>>34964410
Like certifiably strong for a 110kg lifter
Especially in my roid fed
>>34964408
>>34964416
Training for <5 years isn't a long time IMO.
>>34964430
Never understood this mentality. Meets are fun. If you don't find then fun then they're at least a consistent way of measuring progress and meeting new people in the PLing community. If you're not interested in either of those then why would you enjoy competing more when you hit arbitrary numbers.
I've switched up my routine and began a high frequency squatting program. In 10 weeks my squat has gone from 315lbsx2 to 425lbsx1, at 153-6lbs bw. Would I be able to do a similar routine with my bench, that has never been more than 245lbs, and have similar results? Clearly not similar in number, but percentage wise. I know a powerlifter at my uni-gym that swear by some "squat everyday challenge", but only squats 435x1@+300lbsBW, so I don't have any steady results for more than 2 people, that have had very different results from squatting in high frequency.
Can you guys try to keep your shit out of fraud today, when we come over here there is some respect and we mostly blend in.
>>34964507
I would have assumed there was always a normal amount of crossover.
>>34964507
look at the previous /plg/ thread and you'll find out that that's just not true
>all these trips talking about competitions
>tfw you don't intend to compete until you've added literally hundreds of pounds to your total
>tfw you're not even doing competition lifts at the moment
>>34964526
competition lifts are fun
theyre worth doing even if you arent going to be competing any time soon
how can i substitute barbell glute thrusts? RDLs?
>>34964572
Back extensions.
>>34964530
I'm doing close variations, just not the textbook lifts.
>>34964572
Lunges (Dumbell/Barbell).
>>34964572
Back extensions, deficit deads, straight-legged deads, deficit straight-legged deads, the list goes on...
Pulled 455lbs tonight boys.
>Feels good @ 153 lbs.
>>34964604
>feeling good about being 153 lbs
why tho
>>34964615
Meh, im 20.
My Dad is like 240.
One day it'll come.
>>34964574
>>34964579
>>34964600
thanks for the replies guys. i've always wanted to give lunges a try so ill do that today
>>34964620
What has age got to do with it? I'm 22 and nearly at 300.
>>34964638
>im 22 and almost morbidly obese
>>34964638
I sort of thought as you get older you put more pounds on?
When I was 16 and wrestling I was like 138, so I mean.
How long have you been that heavy? You always been a big dude?
>>34964574
do back extensions work glutes?
>>34964118
> tfw stupid eagles have better vision than you
>>34964479
I bench everyday. Results are pretty awesome. Basically i went from 245 to 335 since march.
Dumb question but I figure this is the best place to ask it.
Been lifting with a shitty ill defined routine, want to get on SL to see more consistent results/lift not bitch weight. Right now I can, with some amount of struggle, do 5x5 of
>bench 145
>squat 155
>deadlift 185
SL recommends starting with less than 50% of my 5 rep weight. This just seems like way too little. It suggests, for my lifts, starting at 65 lb bench and squat, 90 lb deadlift.
Is it really necessary to start that low? Or will starting at a higher weight affect progression?
lads i just broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years
havent slept well in days and all of my lifts are ruined
should i just deload now or push through fml
>>34964715
Drop all your lifts by 10 to 15 percent, form focus is important
>>34964648
I was like 180-something at 16, but then I got taller and started working out. Was maybe 230 something when I started powerlifting.
>>34964647
jelly twink shit detected, go back to /fit/
>>34964671
If you work them correctly.
>>34964715
That sounds like a waste of time. Especially if you're already doing 5x5 of the weight you're on.
Also do SS instead, SL is just the shitty gyppo/reddit version of it.
>>34964732
>>34964738
Thanks senpai
>>34964479
what "high frequency squatting program" did you run??
new candito lads
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hptK-M60O4
what is the status of user: benching brother
i am a former user of powerlifting general and i was an interactor with him in the past and i would like to proceed with that but i do not see him here
>>34965022
Benching brother has left the site. He sometimes visits to make toilet posts like he does, but usually no tripping.
>>34964274
That face man, what the fuck that facew looks 14 yr old
>>34965093
i agree. he looks like he has a decent height, but he is wasting his potential
i am a manlet so i can not do this, but if i was at least 5'10" i would grow my hair long and have stubble or a beard
ideally i would look like 1980 olympic bronze medalist, Gyorgy Szalai

>>34965114
>implying George can grow a beard
>>34965122
lets hope so
>>34965114
Nice singlets, kek.
How do I into designing my own routines and shit? I just don't want to follow blindly routines anymore, I want to understand that shit in depth, also, been able to tell when the program is shit or not, but don't know where should I start.
>>34965354
The fucking internet man.
Then try shit. Grow some balls.
>>34965377
How do you apply prilepin's? Weekly? Single session?
>>34965442
Per session.
>>34965354
People who design their own routines include people like Isley and boardshorts.
You don't want to go down that road. Find someone who's actually competent and learn from them.
>>34965496
>People who design their own routines include people like Isley and boardshorts.
And marcel, and buda, and norse (before he started overthinking everything).
No canned program will take you to your potential.
>>34965522
All people who have put in too much effort with too little results, most of which don't even compete.
Join a powerlifting club and learn something for once in your life anon.
>>34965542
All of which are over 420 wilks iirc.
Joining a club is great... If there is one nearby.
>>34965558
>buda
>boardshorts
>over 420 wilks
Lol no
I had a female trainer run up to me while i was benching today, she told me arching my back on the bench is bad, you need to remain in contact with the bench at all times, use a flat back she said.
jesus fucking christ i couldn't contain myself how do you deal with these mongoloids?

Weekly, and longer. Use it for higher volume blocks then taper and test.
>>34965939
I have the best wilks here
>>34965522
Just no tBh
You usually see people eventually give up on their own programming and then start getting good gains again on "canned" programs.
Buda does a mix of "canned" programs, like smolov.
What is uppppp fat fucks?

>Lifting to get fat
My seids
>>34966365
literally who
>>34966385
Bodorio, norsefat, boardshorts , etc
>>34966389
literally no one lifts with the goal to get fatter
there are people who get fat in the process of trying to gain muscle to help lifting
but if the goal is to get fat why would they even lift, you dont need weights for that
>>34966406
>taking the bait
>>34966406
>one lifts with the goal to get fatter
>there are people who get fat in the process of trying to gain muscle to help with lifting
>>34965354
You could start by reading up on periodization, supercompensation, fatigue accumulation etc and start looking at programs and figuring out how the programs conform to those principles.
>>34966513
Sub 30% bf twink shit pls go
Is a program where the tonnage increases along the intensity/set rate for 3 weeks leading up to workouts more intensitivity focused for another 3 weeks okay?

I hate the monkeys at my gym so don't bother doing a routine or even doing full sets. Instead they just hoot and yell at the guys lifting heavy, hurting themselves trying to do too much weight. It's obnoxious and lazy.
>>34966729
It says 10. It's probably 10 kg
Anyone see Candito 655 narrow sumo beltless pull? I'll make a webm today
>>34966860

the drawing represents the essence of Freudianism and the evident theme in that of the regression to the psychic subsoil, together with a profound traumatization of the human personality. It embodies the further aspects of contemporary nihilism, as seen from the empty eyes of Candito.
>>34967066
Ew did you just ask me my dick size? Are you gay or something
>>34966900
Oh wow Sean is actually functionally retarded. Enjoy paying premium prices for inferior hardware with a pretty case, as your keklord masters deprecate your model as soon as they come out with a slightly improved model.
Enjoy having a objectively worse interface than literally any Android based phone.
Enjoy software updates breaking your apps every single fucking time for several days-weeks.
Enjoy having objectively worse camera quality than your model's Android or Windows competitors.
Enjoy not having support for common file types like .flac or .webm.
Enjoy being stuck chained to a resource-heavy iTunes.

>he spent less than a thousand dollars on his phone
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH
>>34967102
yea yea all that but its also more expensive and therefor better.
So we all agree Candito should be banned from the IPF, right?
>>34967102
>my android is clearly superior to the inferior iphone which all non-poor and normal people have

>>34967129
sweet toes personally said that he would no longer be competing in the yeepeef anyway
>>34967162
dont you know it doesn't matter what fed someone competes in as long as they claim to be natural and have competed in the IPF at some point, despite where they compete now.
>>34967161
I know you didn't draw what I just asked so just tell me what your "funny and creative" mind came up with in the form of a rhetoric drawing
>>34967168
Because he's choosing to beat the untested record in an untested federation despite that there are tested federations that use DL bars at a time when he also has no intentions to compete internationally in the IPF.
Worse than when Brett Gibbs took a 2 year gap and when he came back went from placing 9th to 1st.
>>34967158
>he's a drugaroo
Wait what?
>>34967193
top lollars

Don't forget to answer >>34967114.

I'm not going to answer until sparrow answers my last reply to her because she skipped my post and answered someone after mine

>design their own routine

I haven't done that since coming off juice

Why is this so obvious? Isn't there rules against fed-hopping to prevent people to do drugs, compete in un-tested lolfeds, and then cycle off and cheat in the IPF?
>>34967259
Then why has literally everyone here seen pictures of my home gym? Why would I spend thousands of dollars on a home gym
Huh bagboy can you answer that huh huh bagboy, yeah that's what I thought, your lack of response to this post will all but confirm you're a clueless idiot
>>34967200
well yeah it is a powerlifting thread
>>34967250
>>34967283
He should be banned via the Ed Coan rule. Not that it matters because if the USADA aren't totally useless he'll get OOTed the day before he competes.
>>34967296
Why don't you answer the question?
>>34967299
Also if you look at canditos dad he's obviously on at least testosterone and yet candito said he was natty which makes me question other claims he makes
>>34967320
>yet candito said he was natty
Not really
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vechuity_5c
>>34967283
It's only against the rules if it's an international comp, qualifier for an international comp, or if there are banned individuals there.
But like this anon said
>>34967299
If the USAPL give any fucks about catching him they'll test him right before the untested meet. This goes for anyone good who decides to do a comp for fun in a lolfed.
>>34964604
Good for you man, I pull about the same at a lean 190.
>>34964971
Spaghetti bar and lolfed meet, he is on his way to the dark side.

He made a point to say he did it narrow as an accessory
>>34967338
>not really
Not sure what that video is but if that video isn't him saying he's on steroids then he did say he was natty previously in one of the e YouTube comments he made
Definitely stressed my lumbar out on Tuesday. Hope it's better for heavy squats tomorrow.
>>34967426
Fuckin love the new trip m8.
>>34967498
I find a whippy bar makes me stronger with a narrower stance than the stiff bar. Dont know why.

Take your time if you're already strong. There's no point pissing about waiting for 4321 or whatever your intermediate is, but there's also no point in rushing to super heavy weights
>>34967498
I missed that, since I didn't watch the video yet. XD
>>34967707
I did what you couldn't, read.
Powerliftinggeneral.com, look at the Dropbox and see what videos it has for squats.
You get more out of reading than watching 8 minute YouTube tutorials. Find a good book and keep the squat advice said on your phone so you can remind yourself proper cues and form before you squat.
>>34967606
What were your lifts again?
I couldn't find a TM template so I went ahead and read Lascek's TM and TM's wiki.I came up with
Monday
Squat 5x5 90% ID
Bench 5x5 90% ID
Chinups/Pullups
RDL 3x5 (Not sure about weight)
Wednesday
Squat 2x5 75% VD
Press 3x5 (Not sure about weight)
Curls
Friday
Squat 1x5
Bench 1x5
DL 1x5
Is this what is supposed to look like?
I'm debating going max weight on press every wednesday like a LP until it eventually starts to interfere with benching.
Also I have never done RDL,should I go really light on them at first?
>>34967771
He says for ID for PL purposes, a 3RM is more beneficial
Just throwing that out there
>>34967802
What are the Mesocycles like on TM? Or is it just weekly progression?
Jam of the Day: https://youtu.be/N9XKLqGqwLA
>>34967771
Don't do 90% of ID on VD. Do a weight that you can control and have good form on. Consider adding sets and/or shortening rest periods before adding weight on VD. The idea is to keep VD as light as possible and still progress on ID. Don't max out on "The Press"(tm)(c), treat it as an accessory movement. Start light on the RDL:s.
>>34967802
I also think it helps mentally to do your ID day at a different number of reps from your VD.
>>34967802
wouldn't take advice from this guy, he's on steroids and still can't squat 2 x bw
>>34967836
Definitely. Let's be honest here. 5s fucking suck

Just weekly progression in TM. There is an advanced intermediate TM where you can spread the progression to two weeks or even apply the principle to an even longer progression

Lifts? What are your lifts? And what happened to your father?

So no capacity for peaking, or building up to a skills test? A m8 of mine who's competing at the same meet I'll be debuting in is wondering how best to set up his TM programming leading up to January.
>>34967802
Yeah I read that but since I'm not gonna compete anytime soon I was wondering if maybe it's better to go with the original 1x5.
I'll decide in the upcoming weeks depending on how I respond to it.
>>34967833
Thanks,I'll test out a comfortable working set on monday since Lascek suggests to take the first VD really slowly and not max out on 5x5 immediately.
I'm starting TM on monday,should I go light on squat/bench/dl tomorrow to be as rested as possible for the first day?
>>34967895
Your skills test is every Friday
You taper starting Wednesday so you can peak for Friday
Early intermediates don't take long to peak cause they can't put a whole lot of stress on their cns
>>34967902
I would still argue for a triple instead because you'll probably have less form breakdown thorough the set
Could I bother you fine folk for a form check? I keep rounding my back and I can't figure out how to fix it. I had worked up to 2x6 at 275lbs, but my form as you could imagine was terrible. I knocked back down to 205 to try and fix my issues.

What are your lifts and why do you hate yourself?

This is what I strongly suspected. I think he wants to feel like he's getting super prepared or something though, So I may try to convince him to just do his rest day on the monday of the meet week, and then take it easy until the Saturday comp.
>>34967942
He's got enough time to get some gains under his belt provided he's beginner which
>>34967920
Sounds right,I'll go for triple then.Thanks

Lascek talks about this in TM Advanced which you can find on plg's gdrive

I wouldn't call him a beginner. Just a guy with a lot of time in the gym, but a very short time training specifically for PL, and too many injuries during the process. But yeah, we both have lots of time to just train hard. First meet too, so I'm not trying to be competitive here, I just wanna lift heavy weights and then go drink with some new PL friends.
Is a 1545lb total competitive if I weigh 242lb?

Er, I thought you keep ID at 5 as long as you can, then do 2 x 3, then 3 x 2, then 3, then 2?
Or something like that?
Or am I just wrong?
>>34968050
Define competitive
It's definitely good. Would have won in my weight class at my last meet t b h
Thinking about volunteering as a loader/spotter for a meet lads. Never done it before tho, but honestly it seems pretty fuckin easy. Anyone have any tips?
>mfw no replies
>>34968045
Tbqh chap I think you should have him do VD and RD as usual that week and have the comp as his ID.
>>34968071
Competitive for smaller meets cause I'd like to try one for fun and not get blown out
>>34968135
Yeah man you have a good chance of at least taking your weight class
shoulder is feeling less fucked day by day senpai
got a sheiko squat session today and I plan to try highbar, if that doesn't work I'm doing a ghetto SSB with straps
right now I only get pain from really extreme movements at the end of my lateral ROM for shoulder, so I -might- be able to bench, but will probably give it another 5-7 days before doing so to be safe.
kind of sad because my shkills test is december 1st and a bench PR is probably not in the cards anymore... hoping to squat and DL in the high 300s and mid 400s tho
>>34968139
I usually did strongman comps but since it's getting cold I thought I'd mess around with powerlifting a bit
>>34968173
How tall are you? I want to do strongman so bad but there is next to no strongman scene in southern California
>>34968078
Don't do a hard deadlift workout beforehand like me. My back was cramping the whole time and by the end it was numb. Still worth the free t-shirt and giving back to the community and all. It's harder than you think only because of the timed element, you're trying to change the plates as quickly as humanly possible.
>>34968140
What happened to it?
Deadlifts went fine. I'll get to editing the footage as soon as the city lets my fucking landlord turn the power back on :/
>>34968192
Tweaked it doing face pulls.
Didn't sound good when it first happened

Haha oh god holy shit. I figure volunteering for a ladies event or the special olympics may be the best way to learn. Hopefully someone is there to kind of teach me the etiquette of spotting.
Commonwealth games, so don't want to fuck up.
>>34968187
That's one bad thing I'm not that tall... I'm only 5'10"....I'm pretty sure there is a strongman competition in April at Huntington Beach that I'm going to try to go to but it's almost an 8hr drive for me

>What happened to it?
I was doing facepulls on monday, ironically to try and start doing shoulder prehab because they felt meh, during the eccentric of a rep I felt a funky twinge or pop and got immediate pain. Lateral movement of any sort was basically impossible but I could still do the apley scratch test fine. I stopped my workout and have RICEd since then.
>>34968071
yeah but he's talking about powerlifting
>>34968224
The weight doesnt really matter because only the changes in weight are relevant. Once there's three reds up there it doesnt affect you, you just switch the additional plates back and forth. It was my first time doing it and you pick it up pretty quickly it's not super hard.
>>34968078
If your gym has 25s, use them for a few weeks.
>>34968266
Not worried about the loading, so much as the spotting. I imagine I'm just making it out to be more complicated than it is.
Off to my wagekek job lads.
>>34968239
Hmmmmm sounds fun. I've never done a real farmer's carry or yoke walk. Would I do alright considering I have a very strong grip and am halfway decent at pressing overhead?
>>34968254
Lifts? Father?
>>34968313
If you have an axle just doh deadlift it and hold it for time and if you have heavy dumbbells or kettlebells just do farmers with that and you should do fine
Going for a heavy double (300kg) on the bench today lads
