Oh,
Hello there, I didn't see you
Please come on in and discuss the glorified hobby that is powerlifting
Many of our users here are capable of out totalling /fraud/ users who inject copious amounts of steroids
We here at PLG are a different breed
We are strong, good looking and natty
So come on in and strength train with us
You can try asking questions pertinent to that of powerlifting however you probably won't get a good answer
That is all
>>35086698
>Have to wait another 4 hours for my flatmate to come home so we can head to the gym
All I want to do is get these diddlys out the way, feels bad man.
Always bothering me that the strong guy in the pic is still doing halfsquats.
>>35086720
That's depth
>>35086720
looks pretty close to parallel if you ask me

>Waht do u mean im fat and out of shape? just wait until you see me slowly lower this bar 10 inches to my bloated belly and raise it up
6x6 is off to a rough start. Barely got any sleep, and the sleep I got didn't last long. Went in very dehydrated and on a completely empty stomach. Oh well, I managed the same weight for 5x10 last Monday, so I should be more than fine.
>>35086930
Liver cirrhosis is causing my brain to take in ammonia so sometimes I can't control what I do. I have 8 months left and yes, this is Sean.
Week 5 starts in an hour. Lotsa squatting to do today.
>tfw 2x2 squats at 5pl8 went super smooth today
Hype af for my meet on Sunday desu
>>35087612
Im so proud of you
You grew up so fast
>>35087647
t-thanks dad
>>35087612
Good luck breh, let us know the results.
Can't wait to do a meet. Nearest one I can do is a non sanctioned push/pull in February, but I really wanna do a full power meet. Have to decide which is more important, soon or squats.
>>35086897
>implying i don't squat ATG more than you quarter-squat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLVJTBZtiuw
>>35087676
Will do breh, hope I can hit 250/180/315, realistically I'll probably hit 245/177.5/310-312.5
imo you should just get it out of the way to get what a meet feels like, and to know what rookie mistakes at a meet you need to fix for your next one, then just do the next full power meet after it.
>>35087694
10/10 keks
To be fair though, how come none of those equipped squats were called for depth?
>>35087725
parallel is defined differently for them.
its hamstrings parallel with floor iirc
Anyone else here /rowmorethantheybench/ ?

dude you were right about sleeves, holy shit i didn't know what to expect but got a lot more than i anticipated, felt so good
>>35088308
Yeah man no worries, for me they add a fair bit due to me feeling more secure, and it helping with proprioception
>these shit tier hooks
why would you make them that deep? what purpose does it serve goddamn
>>35088326
because this equipment is designed by people who dont even lift.
>>35088326
buy this instead
>>35088325
>and it helping with proprioception
this surprised me the most, don't get how but not going to complain. just felt more in control in general
ended up buying sbd wrist wraps too and switched from rippe grip to more standard, narrower thumbs around / wrists cocked back a little grip, felt noticeably better. unsure if I actually am tighter but just felt more natural getting tight that way (before I had to cue pushing the bar down, now I could just.. tighten my back)
unsure if i'll actually use them for bench tho
>>35088344
yeah no kidding, at least all the bars are eleiko PL bars so could be a lot worse
First day of a cut. Breakfast felt really small. Going for a 110kg triple on the bench today. Wish me luck.

Front squats, of course. I'm retarded.
>>35088373
I meant to do high bar, maybe even box squats as assistance lad
>>35088410
Yeah, I meant that that's what I'm doing. I'm giving my lower back a break (and HB just feels more comfy tbqh) and just switched to highbar - conveniently, at the same time I incorporated front squats as assistance.
>>35088481
>>35088481
that's ok joe, the other day my 85% deadlift doubles felt like maximal effort. It was crazy, it was like 25lbs less than my opener from 2 months ago and I would barely lift it.
Fatigue be a harsh mistress.
>>35088517
I don't feel fatigued though. I just feel like I'm going nowhere.
>>35088517
she's hot man
>>35088540
what the fuck is this suppose to mean
what do you expect people to say to this
>>35088540
wait till your skills test to say you're going nowhere. I remember Norse saying that sheiko was a wizard because some bench doubles felt like hell but then his old max went ezpz on skills test day.
>>35088541

Yea I guess so. Squats are feeling pretty good though. Bench was feeling great before my shoulder shit also.
Just worried desu.
>>35087694
How oly lifters can do sucha quick lifts? first guy and third. Not even bothering talking about powerlifters.
>>35088591
that is one of the worse sessions
i absolutely smeshd it this cycle though, compared to last where it was pain and suffering
>>35088606
>Squats are feeling pretty good though. Bench was feeling great before my shoulder shit also.
are you me?
completely laying off benching for however long it takes for my shoulder to unfuck itself
not sure how i'll deal with maxes come next cycle as i'm not testing my bench anytime soon
>>35088606
>Just worried desu
you'll be ok. even if you add barely any weight to your total, 12 weeks is a very short time relative to your entire lifting career.
>>35088640
>webm
what the actual fuck
>>35088651
there was some cable or something underneath them, and it got pulled tight, lifting up the cars.
>>35088630
I literally expect to shit myself at some point
Doing my first run of sheiko 29 should I test my maxes after this month or should i immediately go into 37
>>35088640
>that webm
>>35088638
Mine healed well when it started to hurt. Any time I feel my shoulders going I immediately stop. I have a family history of shoulder issues.
Are you doing your rehab? You should at least do some benching of just the bar.
>>35088640
I wanna do gud at our meet ;-;
What are you planning on running after btw?
>>35088663
the best part is warming up for the 80%'s
>load up 50%
wow this will suck
>60%
it's not getting better
>70%
fffffuck
>80%
oh boy here we go
i was sure i'd fail reps last cycle but somehow just pulled through
>>35088691
>I wanna do gud at our meet ;-;
you'll do fine. remember, it's not about being "good", it's about being better than you were.
>What are you planning on running after btw?
I have no idea. if this cycle returns good results probably the same thing. if not, then maybe give TSA 9 week another shot or try out the 20 week sheiko. I don't really know what else there would be for me to try tBh.
>>35088665
Just start off with 37 instead and do one of the new cycles. 29 is just a slightly lower volume 37.
>>35088695
lel, the worst warm up set for me is always with the bar to be honest
>fuuuck I'm so stiff
>my legs hurt
>will I even be able to hit depth today?!?
>>35088691

>>35088705
Yea but I wanna do very better.
Have you tried c6w or Westside?
Holy mother of fuck there is no way anybody is paying for this, right?
>>35088739
almost want to do a master in control to be able to design cool shit like that
almost
>>35088739
>c6w
pic related
>westide
idk, but I did some thing when I first started lifting where literally every workout I would either PR my squat, bench , or DL, then do 5x5 at a weight that felt hard with accessories for whatever my weak point was. Then I rode that into c6w. so that got me to the weights I was using at the beginning of my first c6w cycle.
>>35088748
So that's the whole entrepreneuring...
Anyone else feel fucking great today? Big ass meal on Thursday, took Friday off while traveling. I'm going to crush this volume day today
>>35087980
I seem to recall marcel once saying that front squats are the best assistance for sumo; is this true?

JUST
you fellas should post your high scores to this list
http://score.lifterstoolbox.com/
>>35088778
I think some solid intensity training would do you well after this volume desu.
I think I might be doing c6w
I GET TO TRAIN AGAIN TODAY FUUUUCK YESSS
>>35088977
c6w is WAYYYY more fun than anything else I've done. I think you'd like it. It is away harder than what we are doing now though. Like sheiko has us squattng like 2x3@80%, while jonnie has you do 4x6@80%. c6w also works at a lot higher weights for the majority, which I think you will like.
people here also circlejerk about the bench programming sucking, but I don't really think it's that bad tBh. If you look at how I did on it, you can see my bench definitely progressed ok through the 5 cycles of it that I did.
>>35089014
very gd
keep training ch00ch00
>>35089029
sheiko isn't hard because of any single session
>>35089064

How'd the mural come out?
>>35086941
>complaining that people powerlift on the powerlifting general
>>35089083
that's the thing though, sheiko is hard because you end up training very fatigued so comparing session to session doesn't say much
not saying candito is 'easier, never ran it, just not a fan of the comparison
>pete rubish form in sq and bench

>>35089117
ok, that's fair. I'll just say that they are both tough, but for different reasons then.
>>35089130

Sloppy deadlifts strained my left spinal erector, still kind of wonky now, but to the point where deadlifts will make it better. Was able to train through it no problem.
But then tendinitis happened. So I took my rest week off completely and rehabed. Feeling amazing now.

>>35089266
>did you get that shit checked by a physio at least
No. Both injuries were very lowkey. The fact I was able to squat heavy after the back injury was incurred left me with confidence that it was pretty minor. Just some discomfort. Nothing rest and a lacrosse ball couldn't fix.
The tendinitis has been off and on for a few years now. Typically I just fixed it with rest, this was my first time actually having the knowledge of how to rehab it properly.
I think a Sara Bulk is about the best thing that could happen.
>>35089234
keked
>>35089294
if there's a will there's a way, seen a guy bench out of that and think that the safeties act pretty well for safeties, although it makes setting up for the bench pretty strange to get into
get power cage/10
unless you don't forsee yourself in the same location for an extended period of time, there is no reason to get all the lifting equipment

It's really shaky and weird
>>35089372
>>tfw I only squat 2pl8
eat more and more volume and one day you may
>>35089385
Yeah. Same with squatting and deadlifting with light weights.
Having some weight on the bar can certainly help you stablize it. I'm unsure of how much of this is just in my head. Maybe I just subconsciously take it more seriously once there is weight on the bar.
>>35089385
Yeah, It's hard to keep tension without the load keeping your shoulders down an in place. Don't worry too much about it lad.
>>35089372

Benching anything sub 1plate doesn't really feel like a bench to me
>>35089372

>>35089385
I need at least 55% on the bar for it to be realistic. About 35-40% for DLs. Squats I always start with the bar though.
>>35089432
It can be hard lad. Just remember the goal is to be stronger than you were yesterday.
what is everyone up to today? I have 2 more classes today, then pic related then I gotta do some calc homework.
In 12 weeks time I'll have a 4pl8 squat and deadlift.
Yaaaaaaaaaaay
>>35089458
Yeah, I'm happy as long as I'm making progress desu. We only see the parts where they lift big weights and not their struggles to get there anyway. After watching interviews with Klokov, Polovnikov and Koklyaev, weightlifting has it's fair share of cons.
Are you guys actually fat or is that just a meme?

>>35089547
I'm a college student so I'm not leaving permanently here and I can barely afford rent and food. Not everyone lives in their momma's basement.

And the entry system this meet has is dumb desu.
>>35089618
That can happen to some people. The forearms are used to hold the wrists straight and stabilize the bar in the hand.
>>35089706

>>35089759
doesn't this guy claim he's like 17 too?
idk some weird g4p stuff
>>35089726

Even if your country doesn't have IPF or IPF affiliate you still should try and lift with proper form.
>>35089825
But I'm stronger with my heels up because I can build a better arch.

Totally okay with it. The last three or four threads have been at least 50% lifting related even with deletions, which is insane considering our recent history.
>>35089880
I think the /owg/ guys have a few links in their OP that give some pointers, and those lads are always willing to hep, even if they pretend to be elitist pricks.
sheiko senpaitachi, I have some questions
>how hard should the accessory exercises be? It doesn't have any weights listed, it just says what kinds of stuff to be doing.
>how close are your hands for a close grip bench? not sheiko, but still wondering. I put mine about where I have them when I deadlift, but I've been told that that is way too narrow.
>how long of rests are you taking in between sets?
>>35089880
I would just use whatever weight allows me to do the prescribed reps/sets with good form. Boris recommends them so that a lifter squats more upright/avoids squatmorning during back squats so you can do something else if you don't have that kind of problem. There's a number of videos on youtube that teach, more or less, how to front squat properly.
>>35089014
Smesh it lad.
I had to take a week off for surgery and i just got back in the gym yesterday. I was afraid i was gonna pop a stitch, but everything went without a hitch.
>>35089785
>Forearms might be a bit too far forward and the bar not centered above elbow?
>Or does this look properly positioned?
It does look like the bar is slightly behind the elbow, yeah. Not sure why.
>No IPF in my country
I feels you, man. They don't come up where I live, either, though I could travel a little for it. Where do you live?
>>35089939
According to the forums, about RPE 8 but I go for da pahmp. Pretty much shoulder width (i.e. hand straight out in front of me) or a finger wider. Enough, less on 70s abd 75s, more on 85s.
>>35089939
It should have %'s listed. My accessories are usually heavy enough that i can JUST finish the last set of them. For close grip bench my index fingers are about an inch outwards from the smooth of the bar. Any less than 2 minutes in between working sets on sheiko usually has a detrimental effect to the rest of my workout.
>>35089951
Not sure what to do about the positioning too, will try to cue it a little mentally.
I live in Germany and it's a joke here.
The only federations here consider wraps for squats raw.
And obviously are untested.
Checked results once and saw people totaling 900kg, kek.
>>35089966
>>35089968
thanks for the (you)s. the sheiko app has you resting 90s between every set, regardless of the weight or lift, so I think that is just there to give you something to work with.
>>35089904
>no seanposting
>no trip drama/blogposts
>actually talk about lifting
I'm finally happy to be in /plg/ lads
>>35089946
I'm sittin here drinkin my morning coffee trying to push all doubt from my mind. I don't want to go in there and be afraid of the weights. I want to fuck them. Tomorrow is volume Deadlift, so that will really be the test. Hope you're recovering well.
>>35089989
same here lad
>>35089975
>The only federations here consider wraps for squats raw.
tbf, that's pretty common in most feds that aren't IPF, and raw is a recent invention anyway.
>>35089989
>blogposts
I like blogposts when they're about your training. I like keeping up with you guys, and sometimes it's nice to share your training life with people who care, cause lord knows most of our friends think we're fuckin crazy for training and competing in this whackjob "sport"
>friends
>>35090006
i'm sure you'll do great senpai. Whats on the agenda for today?
I actually think the rest week did me well, because all of my lifts seemed easier. Today is Deadlift/volume binch day for me, so we'll see how it goes.
>>35090017
Hmm, I see.
Don't really understand why, but I didn't invent the sport.
I'll compete in some of these anyways, maybe some like minded folks to meet there.
>>35089939
Try asking the SheikoExpert
>>35090056
Germany does have an IPF affiliate ladfriend.
http://www.bvdk.de/
>>35090035
5+ OHP and a 5x10 squat at %60 plus some mobility stuff blah blah.
>because all of my lifts seemed easier
I needed to hear this.
captainpoutine has been posting a little too much for my liking
>>35089975
Ah, of course. Is there a list somewhere of which countries have roids legal vs illegal?
>>35090110
Same tbqh
Lads: I pull sumo and am starting TM
Today is VD. Do I:
(a) do volume sumo pulls
(b) do something like SLDLs? (I am worried about this though for lack of carryover to sumo)
>>35090135
Why not just do conventional for volume
>>35090066
Oh wow, must have missed that so far.
Interesting, will give the rules etc a read, thanks.
The hardest part about it is finding a club that has you compete in it though.
The 1-2 ones that have an internet site don't mention anything about becoming a member whatsoever.
>>35090074
You still on 5/3/1?
>>35090120
>Steroids
USA, Russia, UK, Germany
>no steroids
Sweden
What should I add?
what do you guys do the week of your meet?
>>35090135
3x5 sumo
>>35090143
>pulling sumo
>doing all of your volume conventional
I hope you're trolling, man.
>>35090158
Steroids are very much not legal in the USA.
We have quite a bit more than five countries, too. Maybe explore more of Europe?
>>35090169
Fuck my shit up basically
Front squats hurts my wrists and fingers a fuckton
What do
Crazy leg pump today. You can almost see them.
Bar didn't slow down at all today and food 153 for squats and not 147 (madman). Felt p good, I'm allowing myself to feel encouraged.
>>35090185
And my delts and my lower back
>>35090180
How do I get my knee and hip angles as open as JP's
>me on the left
>>35090180
lol, come on m8 do share with the group
both meets ive done i had to take time off right up to meet day because of one injury or another
first time ill be able to train if i want to in the week of the meet lol
>>35090149
Don't feel obligated to join or anything. Fed bullying is bullshit, just thought you should know that if you did want to compete IPF affiliate, that option is available to you. Best of luck lad.
>>35090110
>>35090133
Too fuckin bad, lads.
>>35090152
Yes, friend. Loving it still. Almost a year and a half now, and the ride never ends.
>>35090202
wtf is that squat set
>>35090185
Working on flexibility is a good first step.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKLVlYt2Ioc
Another option is trying the cross-armed grip.
>>35090180
Go back to your tripfag group
You are not wanted here
>>35090217
I honestly like sheiko better. Chest gains have been a lot better too.
Miss being 5/3/1 lads though
>>35090237
I might give Sheiko a dabble after my meet. I'm always game to try other things, I just still really love the mentality of drilling that one compound lift for the day. I still look forward to Friday's squat sessions every single week.
>injury at end of cycle
>thinking it'll be healed in time for next cycle
How do I approach next cycle's max? I'm not testing it cause fuck that
>>35090228
Your hips are fine
Post video, I have a feeling you lose most of that external rotation when the pull starts
>>35090218
Sheiko shaman magic shit
I don't ask I just do at this point
>>35090294
Is your sheiko overall cycle 20 weeks long?
>>35090283
Just when weight leave floor
>>35090202
What's your squat 1RM?
I'm so confused
Also thoughts on heels up benching? I'm thinking of competing in a lol fed because
>no cheap single prong 13mm ipf jewproved belts
>no heels up benching
>>35090312
It's good
Is it working weight though
>>35090312
looks absolutely fine
>>35090312
Holy shit how haven't you snapped your shit up?
>>35090294
You front squat don't you
I'm doing front squats for the first time
I can push through the pain but my fingers are really hurting from them, is this safe or am I going to injure myself?
>>35090319
>>35090325
Well I'm incredibly weak in that position and get form breakdown at 100kg, 5rm is otherwise 140kg when I don't care about positioning and start with my hips so high that my back is practically horizontal
>>35090339
magic
>>35090314
460/210
Heels up is alright. Not as big a difference from those of us with just an alright arch. If you have the flexibility it can make a big difference I think.
>>35090348
Well I'll put it this way
My wrists and fingers hurt if I haven't been front squatting lately, shoulders and elbows are fine though
