welcome to /plg/ - powerlifting general
primarily for the purpose of becoming a better athlete on the platform
>what the fuck happened to the last thread edition
you all know the website
what is everyone doing today? not thinking this should be too tough, just excited to hold 480 finally
2 questions:
I can't currently foam roll upper back because no lacrosse ball.
What can I do to relieve muscle tightness on my middle to upper back?
When buying a lacrosse ball is there anything good in particular or is it buy whatever's cheapest?
>>35115056
ill post it again in about 21 hours time when im finished with my hepburn day a
im a 19yr old 210 lb guy with 170/125/240 (kg)
is block periodization with aim to increase my 1RM every 10 weeks or so a good idea or am i still too weak to consider such programming?
>>35115122
resting and eating
>>35115158
no idea why i used lb's at my bw and kgs at my total lel
>>35115148
>cant foam roll upper back
>no lacrosse ball
why the fuck would you need a lacrosse ball to do that
if you've not even use a foam roller on your back you're gonna have debilitating pain using a lacrosse ball
https://www.asep.org/asep/asep/JEPonlineJUNE2014_Cardozo_Evangelista.pdf
Why are you not doing the brazilian powerbuilding method? 70% increase in deadlift and 30% in bench and squat in elite athletes over a 16 week periode sounds great.
>>35115158
I like block periodisation a lot. But do consider 12 week cycles.
>>35115177
I don't want to damage my spine with the foam roller
>>35115158
periodisation is based on your ability to progress, not your numbers.
>>35115122
>block pulls @ 95%
please be sumo
if not, good luck
>>35115187
i was thinking of doing
5 weeks of increasing volume
3 weeks of increasing intensity (and dropping volume accordingly
1 week taper
1 week rm test
repeat
how does that look?, would you just increase the first 2 cycles by a week if you were to do 12 weeks?

>>35115200
you're more likely to slip and fuck up your spine with a lax ball than a foam roller, let alone the fact you're gonna fuck up all your ribs and bruise all your muscles
use a foam roller and lean to the side - if its pure foam then theres basically no chance of fucking up your spine no matter how hard you try.
hey mod was I banned? Is that why last thread is deleted? I don't want to be ban evading if I am, nothing came up saying I was banned however but that thread post was probably made on a different IP, so you need to let me know if I'm van evadin and I won't post but please don't ban me cause I don't know if I am or not you know?
>>35115227
Yes
Also volume and intensity are spectrums. So it's not like you gave "volume" and "intensity" blocks.
>>35115244
thats why i said increasing before it, i know they are interrelated kek
>>35115238
I knew you were a child
>>35115232
Why don't you just pay for it? It's cheap in the grand scheme of things and the overall time it will save pays for it multiple times over again
>reposting
lads thinking of getting a lever belt, I've already got a single prong 10mm inzer. should I stick with inzer? 10mm or 13mm? wait for SBD vapor-belt?
has to be ipf approved
>>35115122
Squats, bench, face pulls and chins.
>>35115200
>powerlifting
>being afraid of damaging your spine by laying on a tough cylindrical pillow
Unless you're super heavy and have no back muscle (turbo fatty) you're gonna have to pretty much try to hurt your back with a foam roller.
>>35115234
I have pic relates though...
I tried to do it on the side but I can't seem to do it right.
>>35115232
Or just not go through a million steps and hassle and pay the pocket change it costs and stop being a poorfag and get a job?
>>35115268
>wait for SBD vapor-belt?
lad its not coming, is it?
So lads, if I do have to push the red button, who has any advice for someone going on a smolov jr for bench. I'll have to go on a m/t/th/f schedule, plan on avoiding deadlifts entirely for the first two weeks, then gradually bring them in on the third at around 60%. I would like to keep up with squats, but obviously not at maximal effort.
>tfw early intermediate so can just go in and do whatever I want and progress
>>35115416
Finally gave up on 5/3/1 eh?
>>35115485
>boasting about being intermediate in plg
next your going to say you dont compete
>>35115542
I don't compete
>>35115502
Nope. Injury just didn't heal after a week off, so I may need to take three weeks or so off Heavy deads and squats, but I want to keep my total moving up for my meet in January.
>>35115542
btw sorry that I'm not so genetically inferior that I had to start sheiko advanced large load with 200 wilks
>>35115647
You on dat der bill starr protocol yet?
>>35115405
I figured I'd throw it out there, but seriously nobody's got suggestions?
>>35115679
well im in the same boat
wanted a new belt at the start of the year
thought ill just wait a few months to have a look at the sbd, they say its only going to be a few months
and here we are, im still using my old belt lol
bestbelts.net
>>35115667
That's the plan. Still ricing.
did 2x260kg sumo deadlift and 3x145 chest level pin presses lads
Lads....

>tfw now sad
I reall wish to keep my lower body more mobile, specially hamstrings and glutes currently.
I've been foam rolling around this area and stretching around said area, groin and hip flexors included but I was wondering...
Is there any good foam rolling and stretching programs I can do on my rest days?
I also need a middle / upperback roll or stretch of something.
I am worried of doing damage to my spine as I have an extra hard and spikes foam roller.
If I buy a lacrosse ball what can I do with it?
Many thanks and I apologise for being so uneducated.
>>35115865
You look at the past through rose tinted glasses don't forget
Just focus on having a good present
>>35115794
Nice! Lost a ton of weight and still making strength gains even at the elite level.
Wonder how you might achieve that? Hmmmm
>>35115115
Lads I've got a question.
For a full meet its better to be a deadlift specialist than a squat specialist, and better to be a squat specialist than a bench specialist, right?
So why isn't there a way to make all three lifts equally useful to your overall result?
so, 13mm or 10mm?
>>35116009
its not necessarily better to be a deadlift specialist over a squat specialist though. Pick one and excel in it, then have a fairly good other one and fairly good bench.
How does one, in very simple terms, change from a bodybuilding routine to a pure powerlifting routine? What do I change? What do I keep? Pls halp, I'm tired of being asthetic but weak.

I finally now understand why Isley changed his name to sisyphus.
I thought he was calling himself a sissy but I just googled it and might shoot myself
>>35115234
>you're more likely to slip and fuck up your spine with a lax ball than a foam roller
>fuck up all your ribs and bruise all your muscles
Have you ever even used a lacrosse ball to your back before? because you sound like someone who's never done deep tissue work in their life.
>>35116437
>>35116443
I have slighly longer-than-average limbs, you gotta learn how to relax and let your shoulders sink and not "shrug" the weight.
>>35116456
94kg atm
>>35116499
you lock out just above your knees and way below your dick, you have long arms and short femurs (perfect for sumo)
>>35116499
mind sharing how you do rts?
>>35116481
How pleb can you get.
Still, as the famous quote goes: "One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
>can't figure out if i hurt my pec or my shoulder
wat figured it was shoulder but i can ohp / do any fucking shoulder movement fine
>>35116605
where does it hurt?
and do you know anything that makes it feel better, or worse?
>>35116527
bruh, my DL is shit compared to my squat, I should be deadlifting wayyy more than this
>>35116535
Well as of now I'm running the base template and I'm just having some fun hitting PRs, so I'm not really following a program
Anyway, that's how I've been doing it:
Monday:
-Competition Squat (w/ belt, etc..) @rpe 7, @8,@9 and 2 backoff sets (I vary no. of reps from week to week)
-Competition Bench - same scheme as squat
-Some high volume bench variation such as close grip bench, incline bench, close grip floor press, done for multiple sets of 6-8 @rpe 8
Wednesday:
-Competition DL - same as squat and bench
-Bench variation, either pin presses from chest level or pause benches, with a similar scheme to comp movements, but with more backoff sets (4 usually)
-Squat variation, such as front squats, pause squats, tempo squats, done with a similar rep scheme as monday's bench variation.
Friday:
-Squat Variation, similar exercises as wednesday's, but with comp movements rep schemes.
-Touch and go bench, done for highish reps at high rpes (9 or 10), 1 or 2 backoff sets
-bench variation, done like monday
Saturday:
-Deadlift variation, stuff like deficit deadlifts or block pulls, rep scheme similar to friday's squat variation
-Bench overload variation, mid range pin presses or board presses, done for few reps (2-4), with rep scheme similar to comp movements.
-Some hamstring work, such as stiff legged deadlifts or RDLs, done for high reps and sets
That's it, I usually do some light back work at the end of each workout.
>>35116629
front delt/pec insertion area, it's bit vague in feeling too can't pinpoint it
flyes and benching near bottom irritates it, as does wiping my ass, only two i found so far, can ohp fine for example
it feels more shoulder than pec region but seemingly only pec stuff hurts, same region that feels a stretch during pec flyes for me
>>35116648
>my DL is shit compared to my squat, I should be deadlifting wayyy more than this
i know this feel, its always amplified at meets as well
whats your difference?
>>35116648
thanks, guessing it's just based on the base template from the book?¨
how hard do you think it'd be to get into it without ever getting coaching? been really curious to try it for some variation from sheiko at some point
>>35116668
0kg, everytime I tested both of them, be it in a comp or a mock meet, I always lifted the same weight
What is a good intermediate routine to fix a bench that's stalling really hard?
>Been at a 1RM of 210 for the last 3 months while my squat has gone from 250 to 320 and DL has gone from 320 to 390
>>35115794
for a second i thought you were using burger units, and thought why is this faggot tripping. just realised my mistake, GJ and nice lifts mang
>>35116685
anything that increases volume
>>35116708
Should I add in a ton of accessories or just after doing my 3 heavy sets do another 4x8 or something at a much lighter weight?
>>35116679
>0kg
a-at least it hasnt went into minus numbers yet
my comp lifts are the same but that was because of bad attempt selection Tbh
realistically deadlift is likely 10kg ahead
ill find out this sat
>>35116735
idk
>>35116735
both could do, or just doing an additional work set every day you bench would be a non trivial volume increase
>>35116661
Sounds like your pec minor, pretty much the area of the pec-delt tie in, find a stretch for it and report whether or not its painful
>>35116743
I guess I'll just try a bit of both and see how it goes?
>>35116754
Okay, thanks. Hopefully I can break through this and get to 2pl8 in a month or two.
>>35116739
My deadlift is 70kg above my squat please help me.
>>35116755
did pic related, yep that god it good
guess I know what it is now, thanks anon
>>35116774
good luck
>>35116670
Yeah, he pretty much uses that template in every program he makes, I really like Tbh. RPE is kind of difficult to guess at first, but gets easier and easier the longer you try to guess it. As for exercise selection, add them based on your weaknesses. As for reps, I like doing a simple wave leading to the meet, such as 6-5-4-5-4-3-4-3-2-3-2-1-deload and meet week for the comp movements, you could go for a similar approach but with different reps on your variations
Have it on good authority that I could sign up USAPL and compete right now as long as I wouldn't test positive. I think the two year thing is what happens if you get caught while competing.
Looks like I'm bulking to 120 and I can get a "real total"
>>35116796
Might not be 100% the cause of the problem, but it can be one of a few things, I'd go see a physio to confirm, and to find other possible problems.
Glad to be of help.
>>35116806
Cool, really tempted to give it a spin. Tried to guess some RPE's during Sheiko but fatigue makes every guess so full of fuck, will keep doing it though
>>35116796
Just as a last thing to confirm, do you get pain mostly in your delt, and a little pain going down your arm, possibly to the pinky? At least when you aggravate it
>>35116819
yeah of course, it's a minor enough strain though expecting it to heal on its own in not too long, want to start the rehab process already
>>35116863
nope nothing like that, it's all "in" the delt
i guessed delt injury at first, seemed so obvious based on pain location
>>35116816
>Have it on good authority
yeah well if you test positive then they cant exactly prove it, but thats on you
>"real total"
thought you didnt care/ preferred other feds because there was sightly more music
>>35116878
Hmm, so nothing in the arm at all?
>>35116816
I tried your sternum to nipple bench and it just felt off. Youre weird.
>>35116739
The strange thing is that in training my deadlift always feels stronger, I can do more reps with the same weight compared to my squat. Yet, at very very high %, my deadlift just hits a wall where I can't even lift the barbell off the floor.
Good luck on your test btw!
>>35116816
Legally yes you can. You'd still be cheating though.
Also how far are you from the happening?
>>35116937
tried again, nah doesn't run past the delt boundary for sure
>>35116954
sounds similar again with repping lighter weights
>deadlift just hits a wall
you think it might be a grip problem, it happens to me too,even tho my grip doesnt let go, it does loosen and i think that may be restricting me from pulling through, read that before here anyway and i need some excuse
>Good luck on your test btw!
i-its a meet but thanks
>>35116996
The most likely culprit is pec minor then, it's just weird that the pain doesn't refer down the arm at least a little, I'd possibly get it checked, but if it's very minor of an injury, then you should be fine
Good luck with rehab though senpai.
>DL in flats = okay

Had a great workout today. Totally discovered this by accident.
>>35117069
what is a 1 inch hitch?

W-what fell off? Your nipple?

3 hours
>still be cheating
Cheating is defined by the rules tho
>>35116915
>slightly more music
Lol. Nah. Either way though I think 120 is a better long-term weight class for me. 110 is just too skinny for me
>tfw gym closing over Christmas and my other commitments means no training for a week or 2

This just dawned on me. Pretty excited, bros.
>>35117087
>Cheating is defined by the rules tho
almost sure its says the 2 year thing on the form you sign saying your drug free on the day
still obviously just going on your word
Just vomited because I ate too much while having a cold even though I'm trying to bulk up and am still fucking dyel
Just kill me. why do I even try
>>35117128
I explicitly asked if doing that would sidestep a rule or if that's how it's in the books. He said it's kosher.
Plus it's not like I'll be better than anyone
>>35117128
Yea this is what I meant. Literally no way they can know, but it's still cheating.
Guys if i squat atg 1 asscheek is like 2-3 cm lower than the other one. Should i worry about this?
>>35117166
fair enough if you cleared it with someone that deals with it
not telling you what to do in any way but i could let you know if it actually does say that next week, although im not usapl so maybe they just dont give a fuck lol
>>35117166
>sidestep a rule
Worst case scenario, you get banned from the USAPL.
THEN you can come have fun in a lol-fed where people don't have their asses so butt-fuddled.
When this IPF fanboy shit blows over, you are welcome to the dark side, where there are tested AND untested divisions, and music on the platform, and your bros can slap your back, and you can wear whatever gear you want, etc.
Think about it.
>>35117190
Tbf/h this happens to me. Only way to correct it is to get it loosened up and massaged on one side. I haven't been losing sleep over it though
>>35117220
garage pls
>>35117220
>Music on the platform
Yes. This is what I need. Its my minute I should be able to do what I want.
>>35117220
this argument is going to be so BTFO when the IPF goes olympic
>>35117247
>>35117255
Remember, folks.
Powerlifting is a hobby.
Make sure you're having fun.
>>35117221
ok thanks bruh, I think it's becuase when I sit i occasionally put my right feet under my left hammie :^)
>>35117276
>BTFO when the IPF goes olympic
Literally nobody cares.
The IPF is boring as it is. Being in the olympics will only make it worse.
The olympics is where sports go to die.
Nothing like making everything super-political, corrupted, and SUPER SRS.
Lol.
It's a fun fat guy hobby. I'm glad all the IPF spergs are slowly dying out so powerlifting can go back to what it used to be.
Why arent we all just strongman?
>>35117074
Just placing the weight on top of a plate. Gives you like an inch above the floor.
>>35117307
So many of the events use things that aren't available in most regular gyms.
>>35117292
>I'm glad all the IPF spergs are slowly dying out so powerlifting
kinda agree desu as an IPFer
what makes you think the IPF spergs are dying out tho
>>35117307
powerlifting is so easily accessible
look how many 'bodybuilders' do a 2 week powerlifting block to get that 'dense muscle' before going back to 'bodybuilding'
its just so easy to get into since you likely already do the lifts and any gym you go to
>>35117292
what
>>35117334
would have called it a 1 inch block pull but whatever
>>35117365
>what makes you think the IPF spergs are dying out tho
IPF drug-free lifting is literally an internet fad. It has exploded in popularity, and it will slowly diminish. Look at some of the big YouTubers (Candito, Isuf, Toos, etc.). It's fading.
>>35117368
>what
Did I stutter?
>>35117377
Last time i posted some guy was like HITCHED DONT COUNT so I called it this since.
>>35117407
Hitched is where you rest it on your thighs half way up then pull from there. Maybe you did that.
>>35117404
>Candito
missed his chance at worlds, so going to do a meet just to try and beat someone on a deadlift bar
>Isuf
...never powerlifted??
>Toos
kek
and yeah sure bodybuilding is the next big thing again lol
awful awful examples Tbh lad
>>35117407
are you sure he didnt say that because you hitched the bar at the top and nothing to do with the blocks
>>35117407
this is what a hitch is, also called supporting by the IPF
https://youtu.be/yHWAYkYpmJA
>>35117459
>awful awful examples Tbh lad
Regardless, you'd be blind (or really too young) to see what powerlifting has -become-.
Raw, drug free, IPF master-race, etc. All that shit is brand new. The elitism that came with it is annoying.
Powerlifting doesn't need to be in the olympics.
It started as the 'odd-lifts', and it should stay the pissing contest that it is.
If you want to hate something, do it professionally (quote that holds true for a lot of things).
>>35117532
please leave
I kek'd at this last night, ty friends for comfy times. /plg/ is comfy when there's no seanposting
Wew lads, just pulled my previous pb for two despite feeling awful today. Honestly my second rep looked like I paused mid thigh for about 3-4 seconds whilst my upper back rounder awfully
>>35117532
>to see what powerlifting has -become-.
>Raw, drug free, IPF
yeah the isley tier elitism is a bit much
but what wrong with having it available for people to choose raw (most equipped guys in in other feds and turning to raw, although maybe with wraps), choose to be drug free and choose a fed that has those rules
>Powerlifting doesn't need to be in the olympics.
once again i agree with you
>If you want to hate something, do it professionally

>what wrong with having it available for people to choose raw (most equipped guys in in other feds and turning to raw, although maybe with wraps), choose to be drug free and choose a fed that has those rules
There is nothing wrong with that, but the IPF has tried to monopolize the drug-free raw community via "legitimacy".
All the equipment limitations and fear-mongering via bans is just silly.
There are plenty of feds with tested and untested competition, along with raw divisions as well.
>>35117752
And they have shit judging.
>>35115122
Did my volume work based on the rep maxes I set on Monday and Tuesday. It took up less time than I expected. Might move things around a bit.
I'm doing fullbody every day this week (two days of rep maxes, two days of volume, and two days of speed work). I'm thinking about doing upper/lower instead though.
hey yall,
how strong should I be before I even consider competing in a small competition? The guy I sometimes train with is running a small competition in town and asked me to compete

Look at it this way:
You can either run from any scary competition.
OR
You can compete along-side guys like Kyle Rayner.
To compete means "to seek together".
Go compete, fool.
The community is very supportive, you'll have a blast.
>>35117439
How would I hitch if the bar was on the floor in the picture. I guess its good we cleared things up here lol

also why belt under shirt lol
>>35118060
is that 320kg at 74kg?
what the fuck.
>>35117954
It's nice to know someone out there has similar problems bro.
>>35118113
yes, whippy bar and bumpers but still incredibly strong
I got a question guys. I attempted a max today but failed for 405. How long should I wait in between to try again? Also what should I do in the mean time to prepare?
>>35118145
>I attempted a max today but failed for 405
If bench or DL, you should wait a week.
If squat, you could probably try it again in a couple days.
Rough as fuck lads. About to do last bench single
>>35118145
if it was close, rerun a cycle with 405 as your max and just blow it away next time. if it wasn't close then awhile.
>>35118175
Should of specified it's squat
>>35118175
>fails a weight
>keeps trying it every week/couple days until he gets it
joe pls
>>35118207
I'm an advanced lifter, and I've done this.
Sometimes it is technical failure. Wait a few days, hit it again.
Deadlift, not so much. If you're fried, you're fried sometimes.
Not everybody is such a coward about it.
>On noes, failed a max attempt, better deload to broomstick and build back up for 2 years!

>>On noes, failed a max attempt, better deload to broomstick and build back up for 2 years!
no
more like
>Ok I wasn't strong enough to lift X weight, better begin a new training cycle and actually get stronger so I can smash it next time instead of wasting time hoping for the stars to align so I can hit arbitrary number X without making any actual strength gains
>>35118254
>I'm an advanced lifter,
if your such an advanced lifter (inb4 your actually just talking about strstd)
why are you maxing out so much in the gym anyway
you failed the the lift
just accept it and move on with your training
would agree with this >>35118195
who said anything about broomstick
>>35118274
this desu
I've been sheiko'd
>>35118290
>(inb4 your actually just talking about strstd)
>why are you maxing out so much in the gym anyway
I'm a master/elite lifter within my fed.
I agree about getting stronger to break personal bests, but sometimes you just have to nut-up and go for it.
What if he is plenty strong, but it was just a bad day? Why completely reset when you could give it one more week and hit the lift?
I max or test a lift via AMRAP at least a couple times per month. It's not that bad.
The problem is that too many people get caught up in chasing PR's for too many weeks straight, then crash hard.
Bulking season lads
Feels good man
>>35118378
the point is that if it isn't at a comp, the lift doesn't matter. if you could've gotten it it was just a bad day or you misgrooved, set it as your training max and continue on. what difference does it make?
>>35118375
did you fail this joe?
>>35118420
>if it isn't at a comp, the lift doesn't matter. if you could've gotten it it was just a bad day or you misgrooved, set it as your training max and continue on. what difference does it make?
I agree. This is a mature mindset.
However, too many "intermediate" guys around here program hop every time a lift gets tough.
They reset and reset and reset and before they know it, they're still an intermediate.
>>35118420
No I got it. I'll webm it after lifting
>>35118378
>I'm a master
wew lad didnt think we had anyone that old here?
it still doesnt matter tho outside of comp
so now hes potentially wasted two weeks of training and for what, just so you can say i you done it
>>35118409
>tfw already fat
Feels kinda bad.
>>35118447
eh i don't have much of a problem with program hopping depending on the situation. if it was a 20lb PR and they could've had it but didn't sleep the night before, yeah they shouldn't deload or reset or program hop, but if they actually saw no gains in an entire training block then something is wrong and a different program could be the answer.
>>35118450
goodjob friend.
>>35118409
>Having a season where you dont bulk
>plg
>>35118458
>master
>wew lad didnt think we had anyone that old here?
Ha. No. Most feds classify as:
Class IV
Class III
Class II
Class I
Masters
Elite
International Elite
>>35118458
>just so you can say i you done it
Yup.
Confidence and grit are sometimes more important than dropping your diaper every time you have to grind.
>>35118481
>saw no gains in an entire training block then something is wrong and a different program could be the answer.
Absolutely.
>>35118450
what do you mean you got sheiko'd?
just a grinder?
>>35118409
>Bulking season
>season
bwuh?
>>35118496
It's all crooked and gross.
Just like Phil's skills test
>>35118495
alright, glad we agree.
i guess i can concede that confidence and actually practicing maximal lifts has benefits, but i think training should typically take precedent.
>combined two sheiko programs.
>increased the intensity of block pulls
>have to hit a 100% (525lb) block pull on saturday.
shieet.
>>35118494
Sorry I like to feel comfortable in my body for the majority of the year which means not being a fat fuck
What sort of lb prs did people hit on their first run of c6w?
>>35118513
skill test for squat and dead yet?
>>35118515
Trip on joffbitch punk ass beta faggot
>>35118541
>he's """"uncomfortable"""" at 120kg
>being a manlet twink
>>>/fit/
>>35118541
Sorry I don't become a fat fuck when I bulk. Getting fat is not bulking. Its getting fat.
>>35118559
your obsession is showing sean. grow up.
>>35118563
So you bulk year round, every year and don't get fat? Nice
Gotta teach me how to do that some time
>>35117712
>that dyel black girl taking a selfie
>>35118588
Trip off joffbitch child
>>35118595
>waaaaah do what i say waaaaaaah
>>35118592
The trick is to actually lift and not be a twink beta with a small frame.
>>35118515
its actually 3 doubles at 100% wtf. is that even possible?
>>35118595
>>35118559
kek
have you got a ref certification for those commands
>>35118605
Original guy who told you to put your trip on here
I'm not sean I just fucking hate you because you're a noob at powerlifting yet speak about things as though you are an accomplished veteran, with no room for open mindedness
Too big for your boots one might say
Injury feeling significantly better after dicking around in the woodshop for a few hours.
Entirely possible I may be fine by the weekend.
Pray for me lads.
>>35118640
>im not sean
lol who says that?
>because you're a noob at powerlifting
well he has crossed the 'good' wilks line set at 400 wilks Tbh
>>35118640
1. i don't believe you
2. literally all advice i give i qualify by saying that it is my opinion and it is what has worked for me in the past
3. i'm one of the stronger people in this general and i try to actually give advice to people who ask. if you asked for advice and i gave it to you and you didn't like it, that's on you.
>>35118551
That wasn't skills test. That was a 95% single
>>35118670
>the 'good' wilks line set at 400 wilks
>mfw need to total 700kg to get a 400 wilks
JUST
>>35118693
time to cut, tubby.
>>35118687
I don't think this is the real joff
>>35118701
>implying I'll ever get below 105kg at 193cm
stop triggering me lad...
>>35118703
Sean likes to "be" the trips.
>>35118703
why? actually me desu.
>>35118721
>193cm
forgot that tall people exist, sorry lad.
>>35118739
Fuck off sean no one is buying it
Nobody says 'hurrrr I'm strong so I can give advice'
Plus nobody calls themselves strong with a sub 5pl8 squat and 3pl8 bench apart from females. It's obviously not joff
MODS BAN THIS FUCK
>>35118495
>Ha. No. Most feds classify as:

Wtf are you on about.
>>35118701
jofflad
did you do anything other than strictly water cutting for your meet? no sodium manipulation or food?
how much did you loose?
and did you stay on creatine?
dont think ill be winning this meet, so what better time to try a slight water cut and see what to expect and how it effects me even tho im well in the weightclass already lol
if anything it will help me try to get to 400 wilks
if i can drop 2.5kg and hit my top numbers, not hopeful tho kek

>>35118780
>mfw poutine ipf memes
>>35118782
food was kept pretty much the same as my typical diet until 24 hours before weigh ins, then i ate nothing until weigh ins. no sodium manipulation at all since i have high blood pressure and i'm kinda scared it would fuck me up.
i kept on creatine, taking it the morning before my meet (about 28 hours out of weigh ins) and right after weigh ins the day of.
Unfortunately i didn't have to go poop until like 45 mintues after weigh ins... coulda lost a few more grams.
>>35118780
usapl is doing this too
>>35118825
USAPL is pretty much a lolfed though to be honest
Can't wait until the whole fed gets banned like the Russians and Ukrainians got, it will be glorious.
>>35118850
>implying
>>35118780
>>35118825
no food for 24 hours? well shit im not doing that lol not really worried any since i dont really have to lose anything
what did you lose tho?
>>35118865
weird, just noticed top 5% correlates almost exactly with a 420 wilks?
>>35118802
Oh, sorry I thought we were talking about powerlifting.
>>35118687
Trip off Sean
>>35118894
We're in need of a specific wilks formula for unequipped to be honest, you get nonsense like that without it.
I'm sure it'll fall in place once unequipped gets more popular.
>>35118882
yeah no food or water for ~24 hours. wasn't even that bad actually since i was so sick of drinking water for the 4 days prior. lost 7lbs without going in the sauna or sweating or anything. also noticed 0 reduction in strength.
>>35118850
Lol just quit lifting.
Such a whiny coward.
>>35118914
Sean stop
Pls
>>35119003
Phil would never be awake at this hour.
>>35119017
I can't sleep.
>tfw insomnia is creeping back
>>35119048
Nice try
Day 3 of bulking.
Starting to get back into the bulk routine.
Not having problems getting in my daily calories.
Back to eating a shit ton of peanut butter and bananas.
After not drinking milk for the past 3 months my stomach is no longer used to lactose.
So I pretty much can't drink milk anymore which always used to help me get extra calories in.
Talk about lifting to get stronger?
Nah.
I'm going to pretend to be the trips that I "hate" (want to be) and talk to myself all night.
That will make dad come back.
>>35119099
>After not drinking milk for the past 3 months my stomach is no longer used to lactose.
Eat some yogurt and ripe cheese m8
No-one should have to bulk without the help of dairy.
>>35119265
I've been eating plenty of yogurt!
It's not dairy that seems to be the issue, it just seems to be any milk stronger than skimmed milk.
What do for ab work?
Sit ups are too easy and ab wheels are too hard for the rep range I'm working in to be honest
>>35119402
Leg raises are blessed.
>>35118693
i need to add 60kg to mine and lose 10kg to get 400.
im 540kg 180/120/240 but these were done in a cut beltless so idk where id be peaked with belt
>>35119408
Hanging or on the ground?
>>35119433
Hanging is much better, but on the ground works pretty well too.
If you can do hanging, then do hanging.
>>35119444
I'll try hanging and see whether it fucks my shit up or not then.
It's intended as a warm up mainly.
Is it bad for your knees to squat ATG? Or just a myth?
>>35119548
It will piss off any old injuries, but it's pretty much old man science. I can't fuckin tell you how many middle aged men tell me I squat too low. Thanks dad.
>>35119402
Leg raises all day, fuckin love leg raises.
>>35119463
If you can't do it hanging, do it in the captain's chair.
>>35119636
Lol, good to know. I was squatting in my school gym and like 3 people came up and claimed I would ruin my knees squatting low.
>>35118207
How u know who did???
>>35118188
joe I thought today was ezpz tbqh
