Welcome to /PLG/ Powerlifting General.
Fraud is weak Plg is strong btw
Primarily for the purpose of becoming a better athlete on the platform, but all forms of strength training accepted!

Post progress, PR's, meet videos, lifts, or anything strength training related!
chatroom for fatties
doesn't it irritate you guys how our idol The Mountain is such an autist?
>>35249773
>tfw copying natty Norris' squat technique because he's strong
>neither my knees nor my hips hurt
>feels good man
Really hope squat feels better today lads
Depth check please?
How do I make the most of my genetically massive calves and quads?
>>35250106
lower faggot
but honestly that angle is shit but in the mirror it looks like you barely hit below parallel
>>35250106
caught u mirin
>>35249825
I actually aspire to be an autistic giant so no not really.
I can't get to a lmao 2 pl8 bench lads. I just won't go up.
>>35250117
That squat is below parallel and definitely deep enough
you are a faggot
>>35250192
Trip on panzertwink
Fuck lads I started doing calve exercises and now my left calve is all tight and really painful a few weeks later when I walk
>>35250193
>That squat is below parallel and definitely deep enough
I quote my own post
> that angle is shit but in the mirror it looks like you barely hit below parallel
nice reading comprehension there sport.
>>35250117
You could always say that. But I have the shittiest genetics for squatting so if >>35250193 would consider it passable then that's good enough for me, specially since I have been breaking PR's with this depth every other workout.
>>35250106
LEAN BACK MORE
>>35250192
Keep benching, that's the secret
>>35250246
Do you always only read the first 2 words of a post? I said it is below parallel, therefore it's deep enough
Sheiko is love, sheiko is life.
Did my skills test today after two months intermediate large load.
Squat went from 190 kg to 210
Bench from 125 to 130. (Failed 135 kg 5 cm before lockout)
And deadlift staid the same at 200 kg. Was my fault, because i deloaded and worked on form.
And the besteht thing about sheiko is, that its fun as fuck!
>>35250382
yeah at 120kg bw ahahahahahahahahahhahahaa
>>35250382
>sheiko
>fun as fuck
I used to think this too.
>>35250394
Not really. 88 kg.
>>35250382
>fun as fuck
>>35250395
Maybe this will change, when my numbers go up. But i really enjoy it now.
Couple questions (about isley) did he quit PL yet for WL, and is he going to the Sheiko seminars in the UK in 2016?
>>35250083
did you get a room yet?
>>35250471
i'd love to see that quarter squat
>max out on squat
>only 10lbs of improvement from 6 weeks ago
>try to max on deadlift
>cant pick up 180kg cause squats killed me
I guess I'll try again wednesday...
>>35250575
NOBODY LIKES YOOO
>>35250575
No one likes you
>>35250575
I like you :d
>>35250575
Why do you trip?
>>35250505
No, but he quit raw for equipped after realizing it might take some effort to bench 140kg.
>>35250505
Haven't quit and no way am I going to that sheiko scaminar
>>35250575
Seriously though you're bad at life
>>35250826
>no way am I going to that sheiko scaminar
why so against it?
don't you like sheiko?
>>35250575
Fucking fagit
>>35249300
My pec problem showed itself more in the top of the lift, the lockout.
My solution was to first just lower volume and frequency substantially.
Then I just stopped benching near 90%.
Sheiko has been great for my pec. Not one problem. I did strain my pec doing pullups before I started my last sheiko cycle, but that was a separate problem, obviously.
>>35250855
He can't afford it because he's a poor fag; which would require him begging his mom for some allowance which maybe he has finally got enough self respect not to do
>>35250826
>scaminar
>literally £109 for a fucking 5 hour session of learning + form critique by Sheiko himself
who the FUCK are you to judge him, you egotistical wanker? Wilks has got absolutely NOTHING on Sheiko and yet you ride his dick harder than you ride the IPFs, and now you dare say something about Sheiko?
Fuck off you pathetic lifter, I never want you to post in this general again.
>>35250879
holy shit isley FUCKING KILLED
>>35250083
Update: squats are not feeling better, this was one of my hardest squat sessions ever
>>35250505
Not yet. Have to go through BS club sports bureaucracy to get our money and approval etc. you?
Isley on blast rn
>>35250879
Mate sheiko is just going to give out beginner tier advice (through a translator) and it's going to be shit.
You're talking about an elderly, slightly senile Russian gent with no English skills and who's forgotten how to coach natties let alone intermediates
Abd by sheiko himself, what you mean is a few minutes of him critiquing a 60 or 100kg squat that you do as told to you through is Ukrainian translator
If he gets a timely visa.
Which he won't. So yeah. Scaminar.
>>35250879
>learning anything significant in 5 hours
>need to pay £109 for minor form critique
keep forking out that money, lad. you'll hit 4pl8 soon enough.
>>35250912
>If he gets a timely visa.
>Which he won't.
Can't tell if medically retarded or just really stupid
>>35250912
Holy shit you are a hilarious megalomaniac, you are an absolutely awful lifter and you missed an attempt TWICE at a national meet, you are in no way qualified to make that call.
It is literally a bargain to pay £109 for what you're getting, which is an insight into the program that you're doing. Sheiko knows what he's doing, and he's coached over 9 world champions, he is the Master of this, which fucking champion has wilks coached?
Your awful squat could definitely use some of Sheiko's advice, since you're such a bad lifter you now have to rely on equipment.
The people attending will all be lifters who know what they're doing, I've seen the people on Facebook and they're all competitive powerlifters, even Owen Hubbard (who's a FAR better lifter than you'll ever be) said he'd love to come along, so who the fuck are you Isley to say "Oh shitty shieko senile gent hahaha I am good lifter no advice needed"
Fucking kill yourself you utter nonce.
>>35250920
It's not about learning anything significant, it's just about getting a better understanding of the origins of the program, the methodology and why Sheiko's programs include what they include, also to meet the man himself would be a privilege.
>>35250964
Wilks? Yani zhao, jnr 84kg gold.
Yeah Owen is a far better lifter than I could ever be. But what does that prove? Also equipped is much harder than raw.
>>35251014
>female
>counts as a champion
literally all a girl has to do is follow a strength program and actually have a coach and she'll beat out all competition simply by virtue of the fact that she's already one in a million
What does that prove? That good lifters that know what they're talking about are always thirsty for more knowledge, no matter where it comes from, so many big names have come to Sheiko seminars to learn, you're a no one, your opinion has no bearing on the reality of the situation.
>Equipped
>harder than raw

We're off to the start of week 7! For those of you keeping score, that's almost 90% longer than I usually stick with a meme program before hopping ship.
Did something of a graphical overhaul of my video format, though. Just felt like making it a little less... yotsuba-y? Anyways, I hope y'all like the new look.
Music this time comes from one of my favorite GBC RPG titles: Lufia: The Legend Returns(AKA Lufia 3, or Estpolis 3).
>>35251065
>>Equipped
>>harder than raw
I hate defending Isley but he's right and you're way wrong.
>>35251014
>equipped is much harder than raw
Louie pls.
>>35251067
It's not too late to change programs lad
>>35251067
>that many squat variations
enjoy literally no transfer to your actual lowbar competition squat you piece of shit
>>35251065
You are literally wrong with everything you're saying here. Yes women matter. Most champions I've met are constantly closed minded because everything they've done has worked (Owen is less so because he's not self coached) and yes equipped is harder than raw. Try it and you'll understand.
>>35251122
>equipped is harder than raw
why does this matter?
doing one legged bosu ball squats is harder than normal squats, but who the fuck cares?
>>35251122
>something is harder than something else
>I'm bad at that something else
>I'm also bad at that harder thing, but I'm doing it so I'm better than you
literally dying of laughter over here
>>35251120
>contest squat
>quad dominant overload work
>contest squat with a pause at the hardest point
This is less variation than an average shieko routine, even.
>>35251099
Nah, three more weeks left until I test maxes and prove to /fit/ I can actually stick to a program.
Finally finished my cut Lads, 92.7 kg bw. This cut went well despite the beetus scare, now to find a way to go back to my old weightclass without messing my bs
>>35251178
Just for your information, this guy actually claims natural.
He lives in a country where you can buy steroids over the counter at pharmacies, he has a physique like so, and he still claims natural.
What a joke.
>>35251178
pls b natty
>>35251178

>>35251272
Look, you are a liar. You are literally lying to people right now. How can you lie when the facts and the evidence are against you
You're clearly below 12%, but that's just a number I used to clear confusion, this is hilarious how you can claim natural when literally every metric says otherwise.
>>35250575
I'll think of you and all of your trash talk while I smash your lifts Wednesday

>>35251303
prove to me how this is falsified whatsoever, I used your own stats and it says you are definitely not natural

This is Steamrollan, at 200lbs, 13% and 5'9" he has an adjusted FFMI of 25.5, which puts him in the top 0.001% if he's natural, you're telling me you're bigger and leaner than this guy, yet you still claim natural?
Dude you're lying to yourself
Hey guys I need squats question answered.. any one here done smolov? I'm supposed to try and max out later this week as I'm just finishing up the intense meso cycle , ya know the first real 4 week set before I start the next part, how much did you improve in that time? More so or less than the next part before it's over? I begging the gods to be able to hit 420 lbs. I started this program with a max of about 365.. also is there any other "huge breakthrough" things I can try doing to improve my squat? I already do deeep box squats..
>>35251360
I don't get your point, what is that supposed to mean, I'm asking honestly. Secondly isn't 5'10" 177cm? I'm 183cm tall
Back to important things, I'm currently making the webm of today's squats, I need your opinion lads, I'm trying to figure out why my right hip hurts in the psoas region

Sorry lad just messing with you.

I'm not even close to the natty limit and have never touched steroids.
The calculator is retarded.
>>35251449
I'm over 26 in that calculator and I never touched steroids either
It's plain dumb
>>35251462

Really wish the sub 30% bf twinks would leave... It's hurting me..
>>35251462

>>35251474
lolz
u wot
Here it is, I think this was set 3 out of 4, really need to stop moving my hands in the hole, any other suggestions?
I will start using a narrower stance from now on, I will go wider as comp approaches, need to strengthen dem legs, is this a good approach?
>>35251462
I think it fucks up if you weigh a lot.
I'm like 117kg 188cm and 25-30% and it thinks I'm on roids...
>>35251500
your depth is AWFUL
squat deeper you piece of SHIT
>>35251500
I would just stop using rippetoe memegrip altogether and not narrow your stance
>>35251393

>being this jelly

Honest question for plg, why wear all that equipment to squat a weight that you can't do naturally? Wouldn't you just want to go raw and see how far you can get that way? I don't know much about the equipment itself or how much it helps but I'd rather say I squat 300lbs raw instead of 400lbs all strapped up
>>35251527
smolov is noped upon here because everyone who tries seems to break
>>35251462
>on steroids

Ur depth is IPF fine. I see you bought shit knee sleeves like me. I've only had them ~5 months and they are literally falling apart. Gonna get some SBD for xmas.
>>35251537
There's Izlee trying out equipped for the first time and once upon a time there was one other guy who trained equipped.
>>35251540
I did not know this.. I enjoy the challenge. Maybe I should get knee sleebes, roids and talk shit. I'd fit in better here I guess. Thanks homie for the info
>>35251562
I mean in general. For anyone in the world, not just plg
>>35251567
ahhahaha holy shit bodorio FUCKING destroyed jesus christ nice one new guy
>>35251567
>roids
> fit in better
I dont think we have a single steron user who posts here apart from occasional containment thread leakage
>>35251537
are you talking equipped vs raw or raw vs 100% raw?
>>35251533
too soft, I can't really recommend it, get a proper leather-made one
>>35251537
It's much more challenging and much more rewarding, I know you got into powerlifting to get stronger but it's like fapping: when you do it too much you get weirder and weirder fetishes.
>>35251537
>Wouldn't you just want to go raw and see how far you can get that way
Most of us do squat raw.
Raw includes: Belt, Wrist Wraps and Knee Sleeves (Fed dependent).
Equipped is: Wrist wraps and Squat suits because they actually add weight to your squat (there's some debate about whether or not knee sleeves do).
>>35251583
Let me list them for you
>Boardshorts (Confirmed)
>Bodorio (Confirmed)
>Virtus (confirmed)
>Steamrollan (possible)
>topkek100 (curry powder)
>>35251537
So like, there's this whole other sport, rather like powerlifting, called equipped powerlifting. Where you use equipment defined within a pretty narrow set of rules to lift the most weight. And a part of that is getting as strong as you can naturally, whilst also managing all the suits and shirts as stuff.
Your question is like "why do people cycle for sport and not try to see how fast they can move naturally?" - it's a different, but equal, sport.
>>35250106
get some proper lifting shoes,and at that depth you're set.
>>35251609
Fuck off sean
>>35251596
>I know you got into powerlifting to get stronger but it's like fapping: when you do it too much you get weirder and weirder fetishes.
yea just look at isley doing equipped and fapping to animated small girls while being pegged
>>35251615
missed the part where he has 25kg on his back
>>35251583
Ahem
>>35251633
does cameron actually take something?
he looks dyel as fuck
>>35251633
Is that meet in someone's garage?
>>35251579
Thanks I guess. I assumed actual advice and knowledge was under these power lift threads unlike the normie tinder and fat hate threads of fit. But no seriously I could use help. Aside from smolov, and deep box squats, how do I hit elustrious 4 plate.
>>35251645
No but he'll start soon
>>35251588
like a guy who has a shirt and shorts on, and squats, vs a guy with knee braces, a backstrap, and whatever other stuff squatters use
I'm genuinely curious, I'm not talking shit on either method
>>35251605
okay so I must be thinking Raw Raw then, like I said just above. Like a dude and the bar, and thats it
Obviously this isn't how the major league big guys do it but I dunno. Just curious why use a belt at all unless it keeps your back from snapping
>>35251618
George you literally get shittier and shittier every year. No wonder no one likes you. Funny how nobody is disputing whether you're natty or not cos you're a weak shit with a pathetic physique
>>35251633
pretty sure he isnt on sterons
If he was, im pretty sure he would be putting on closer to 50kg on his bench rather than 5kg. no bully intended, just saying in case someone would have a reason to believe hes lying about it
>>35251609
tfw too poor for real steroids :(
>>35251668
He took dnp
>>35251654
lol lad hes been saying this for years
i dont think hes ever going to start
>>35251665
>shitter and shitter every year
Actually I stay the same m80pot80
>>35251687
didnt say he never took illegal substances
just said hes not on sterons
>>35251633
Man, he was so sure he'd get a 160kg bench.
>>35251660
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5CklHsmzdM
that explains it all
well I'm the type of guy da doo da doo da doo
>>35251660
cause the belt and wraps only support non-moving structures, so it just prevents them snapping up while still being able to push your strength. If you legs can squat 400 but your core starts to give out at 300, theres no real reason to not put on a belt other than to say
>im 100% raw
which doesn't mean anything and just leaves you short changed desu. same with wrist wraps on the bp. if you can press 300 but your smaller structures (wrists) get sore at 200, just put on the wraps
i'd understand if belts and that were £500+ theres no point forking up that much money for a hobby, but they can be very inexpensive so theres no real downside to using them
>>35251307
still wont deadlift as much as me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YI-CU9_GUd4
>>35251660
A proper use of a belt will allow you to properly use the muscles in your core and allow you to lift more weight. It doesn't lift the weight for you it is just a tool.
Wristwraps allow you to keep your arms in a straight line when you bench, 2 big advantages here. No moment means less force required to press it. And when you get to heavy weight your wrists will start hurting, I forget my wrist wraps all the time i don't lose much weight but the next day my wrists feel dead.
>>35251645
YES
He took DNP
>>35251654
This is what he'll be saying six months from now too
>>35251764
>going to blow you the fuck out in both squat and bench
>you will narrowly beat me in deadlift
>m-muh pull
Okay George.
>>35251668
Does the "do roids bench 200" rule take into account benches like >>35251633 or is it only usable on IPF benches?
>>35251876
wew lad that's a lot memes for one sentence
>>35251920
Is this actually Phil in this thread?
>>35251920
bench you really deadlift less than 420lbs?
Isley gets off to the fact that he pays for a girls dinner and talks to her then goes home alone and jerks off to the thought of said girl
>>35251952
Do people not do this?
isley is actually a feminist, no joke. I saw him like Greg Nuckols post about women lifters and how they're oppressed in the gym
fucking hilarious

mine wasn't too bad, no PRs, but I'll try again tomorrow
Where's Sean today?
>>35252073
Hey
Thinking about trying 4 pl8 today lads...
how do you guys feel about comprimising some minor upper back tightness to get better hip positioining on the deadlift? i tried lifting with a perfectly straight upper back today but i was almost squatting the bar up at one point
>>35252209
It doesn't need to be "straight," there's some natural kyphosis in your thoracic spine, but it should be neutral and stable.
>>35252417
if i lift with my hips higher my upper back rounds a tad bit, it still feels pretty tight tho. ur saying that doesnt matter that much then?
>>35250083
Update: maybe hardest sheiko workout yet. Every squat and bench set was RPE 9-10 but felt better after several sets. Front squats were a little better. I'm scared lads, working sets for squats are 20lbs heavier and bench sets are 15lbs heavier. Shouldn't even be too fatigued yet but this was really hard. Right shoulder is still giving me issues as well, but some band stretches let me bench temporarily.
Keep me in your thoughts.

>>35253437
Lighter variation that is an alternative to deficits.
The benefit of deficit plus some upper back work i guess.
>>35253385
never really liked them desu. always felt like paused helped more with position and hit the upper back hard enough.
>>35253447
Wow you sure showed him, 4 hours later
>>35253299
Are you unironically highbar memeing in /plg/?
>>35253299
STFU. Some of the strongest squatters in /plg/ are high-bar, you insecure newbie fuck.
>>35253385
i enjoy doing them, but how much they actually help. I have no idea
>>35253526
>but how much they actually help. I have no idea
I'm going to try them once per week along side conventional and see if they do anything.
>>35253526
This is me with almost every assistance lift I try. Except probably paused squats and CGBP.
CAN WE PLEASE MAKE A LIST OF MOST HELPFUL TRIPS ON /PLG/.

I going to guess your weight is a lot more than mine?
lads ive been itching to start playing an actualy sport not just powerlifting
what sport could benefit me considering my powwerlifting background and that I'm kind of a /bigguy/
170/125/205 @ a somewhat lean 96kg(height 190cm)
>>35253743
What do you like? Judo is fun but fairly likely to get you injured. Old-man soccer or lacrosse or something would probably be good for not dying from CHF at 50.
>>35253743
So you're extremely weak, not even a powerlifter and to top it off not even a big guy but reaaally skinny
Oh wait i just responded to a troll
>>35253796
I actually watched some judo highlight some time ago and it seemed really fun to throw people around, but yeah I've heard it wrecks your shoulders and everything else. Lacrosse always seemed like a gay sport(like fencing) but that might be because literally no one plays it in my country.
what is old man football
>>35253803
skinny and weak for /plg/ standards
i too was delusional until I started looking at some professional athlete's stats and kept thinking they were skinny fucks for weighing so little at their height. then i realised that that's where their performance is best. Example is Sage Northcutt who is 182cm and weighs 70kg.
>>35253854
Old-man leagues just refers to groups of people playing that are out of college up to middle age.
>>35253870
but im only 18
>>35253896
Then do judo, you've got one or two minor AC separations in you still.

some of my mates do brazilian ju jiutsu I've been thinking about trying that out but im discouraged by the white trash faggot iron lyfe trainers that ive heard about who have you do 200 pushups and 200 plyo squats as a workout as opposed to something actually smart
>>35253953
Gives me a glimmer of hope for the future Tbh
>>35253955
I mean, it won't really affect your lifting if they're a day apart.
>>35253632
>TOP 3 I SHOULD FILTER
I just ask dumb questions that could easily be answered by using google. Like this one:
Why the fuck can I bench 61 kg for 3 sets of 10 fine, but when I try to bench 70 kg for 3 sets of 6, I fail miserably? I can only really get about 3 good reps in on the first set, and after that my form goes to shit.
>>35254001
specificity my friend. refers to both exercise selection as well as rep ranges and stuff.
>>35253955
the most pushups i've ever done in a brazilian jiujitsu class is <50
my current school has zero pushups
it's fantastic
Finally in the 4 pl8 squat club and 5 pl8 diddle club lads. Hit 182.5kg squat and 230 dead last night. Pretty happy desu
Bw around 85
>>35254001
Because your form goes to shit under heavier weights
>>35254028
Congrats friend
>>35254044
...I feel stupid for not realizing something as simple as this.
>>35254014
I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here.
>>35254014
>specificity refers to (intensity related) rep ranges
Don't think so, otherwise sheiko would be a dud
>>35254127
sheiko admits that intensity is what drives numbers, it just also increases chance of injury. 80% triples are still intense enough to illicit a response, especially when you're fatigued enough that 80% is closer to 85% for your body (i think, Mike t would probably agree).
>>35254069
lifting heavy weight is a skill and to develop that skill you need to lift heavy weight. specificity in powerlifting is lifting a sufficiently heavy weight to increase your ability to lift heavier weights. its a reason why doing 1000 reps of just the bar may give you equivalent volume to your 5x5, but it isn't intense enough to have any carry over.

>>35255364
Quite a few people prefer squatting in heels. But dont buy the powerlifts buy the power points they're much better.

What do friends? Weights %80 and above feel terrible. I'm getting weaker and weaker everyday. I know longer programs have a hypertrophy component before peaking, could anyone suggest one?
I feel like people who think sheiko is low intensity have never actually ran the program or newbs who've never gotten anything out of a peak so their maxes are roughly how strong they are on a weekly basis.
>tfw bought a real belt and squat working sets shoot up 20 lbs
>>35255569
yes. when i had like an 800 total i would look at the spreadsheet and think that it was super easy. now that i'm actually doing it and the weights are heavy enough to be challenging and beat me down, it is much more intense.
>>35253507
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
What do you guys think of this routine for someone who still has miles of linear progress to make on squats but has burned out easy progress from fahves on bench and ohp - no deadlift in the routine atm because reasons. General goal is strength and overall balanced development, limited excercise selection because I'm homegym so no sweet machine hypertrophy. Not a strict powerlifting question, but hey, I'm not going to ask elsewhere on /fit/.

But it's also assumed your maxes are peaked comp maxes. So even besides fatigue you're not going to be as strong as your inputted maxes while running the program. Plus people often forget that other programs use training maxes, sheiko does not.
>>35255658
that's another good point.
shit i inputted +10lbs of my peaked squat, didn't even think that that could be 5-10lbs heavier than my unpeaked. no wonder squat feels so hard
