What a time to be alive lads
Boardie have you made a spreadsheet for the tsa benching and sheiko sq/dl?
Im doing my second tsa cycle and because i train beltless the the 7 rep squats 420REK me beyond believe. So i think it wouls be perfecr for me to have lower reps ala sheiko in sq /dl
>>35257845

>>35258014
topkek/sean
its all the same to me
can barely even tell them apart
>Do cgbp cause anything else causes shoulder pain
>Get to 110kg
>First rep feels pretty easy
>Get stuck halfway during the second rep and fail
Why is cgbp such a gamble?
>>35258023
They've got different posting times though.
Sean stops posting at night time in canada, then topkek takes his shift.
>>35258050
Phil I have a question. Does the "do roid bench 200"-rule work on lolfed-benches or is it only applicable on IPF paused competition benches?
>>35258073
Its not a rule
It's just a rational minimum for someone on steroids. 200kg would be on the weaker side of the spectrum, for lighter weightclasses
200kg paused I guess
>>35257598
Can you not fucking save and subsequently post my image while insulting me ? Thanks
>>35258089
Do you ever think you'll get a gf/laid again?

>>35258023
Yeah it's p similar. Topkek often "seenposts" a lot. But nearly all kirill posting is topkek
>>35258049
It'll always be easy off the chest.

I took this picture last week. I think my favorite part is the gaming laptop HD still carries around in the box.

I bet that nigga is bodorio
Lmao
I'm on my third week of Sheiko, but there's no shoulder exercises. I looked ahead a few weeks and I can't find any OHP. This must be a mistake, right? I mean, I'm benching literally every workout but I can't OHP?
>If you want to OHP just add in OHP
I don't know what day, or if I even should. I just think it's weird there's literally no shoulderwork aside from Incline Bench the first week. My shoulders are my weakest point, what do lads?
>>35258618
Uhh you're an idiot lmao bodybuilding general is that way >>>/a/
who wants to suck my BENIS
8====================D
>>35258668
I'm not trying to look good, I'm trying to move the most weight. According to Rippetoe OHP is better than bench for developing upper-body strength. Isn't a complete lack of shoulder work noteworthy? I mean, I've never trained biceps in my life aside from chinups, but shoulders seem important senpai
>>35258618
OHP is an american meme, you can't expect Boris to keep up with those. To be serious, Sheiko is a powerlifting progrom, you don't need much OHP or shoulder work for powerlifting. Also keep in mind that what you're following is a template, you're supposed to change it to suit your needs. If your shoulders are stopping your progress, add shoulder work.
>>35258706
Rippetoe is an idiot.
>>35258618
>My shoulders are my weakest point
They're really not
Good morning plg.
>>35257861
No sir I have not. Tbh I haven't even looked at tsa.
>>35258618
I'm currently doing Jim's Beyond 5/3/1. I'll keep with it for a few months and then I want to try sheiko.
Are you enjoying it? Is your body handling it well?
>>35259055
I think it's fine so far. The first two weeks were waaayy to easy, but I'm on my third now and it feels just right.
>>35259078
Your moms pussy feels juuust right on my dick, faggot
>>35259128
Umm, this is a bully free zone k? So, ummmm, back the fuck up?
i have a meet in about 3 months and i weigh 98kg, theres no way im making -93kg so im gonna be in -105
if i were to just bulk up to 105 in these months and get a little fat how much would that add in terms off lifts?
>>35259261
158.456lbs
>>35259261
Don't add a lot of unneccesary fat, just bulk in a reasonable tempo. No way to say how much it would benefit you, but lifting in a caloric surplus will always be better than lifting while on balance or in a deficit.
>>35259261
Dont worry about filling out weight classes unless you have a chance at records.
>>35259313
yeah i got pretty fat the first years doing that, spend almost entire 2015 on cutting so im quite hesitant to gain some weight, just gonna monitor it closely and try to gain like 1kg per month and hope some 105kg fatty doesnt outlift me
>>35259261
if your not gonna be optimal theres no reason to get fat just for the sake of "filling out your weight class". especially if its just a random meet
and desu losing 5kg in 3 months including a slight water cut would be just as easy and losing fat would be more conducive to your training than just unnecessary fat gain
>>35259337
i have a chance at a better total and qualifying for our nationals with that
>>35259363
if you cant make qualifying total at a slight cut in the 93kg class what makes you think you can hit the qualifier for the 105 class easily with a couple extra kg of fat?
>>35259261
Take it easy desu. No need to get fat. Bulk to 100 or so
>>35259363
How long have you been competing? If it's less than a year dont worry about weight classes or anything like that. If you've been competing longer use your best judgement. There's something to be said for being light in the weight class and getting to go for a big meal the night before competition and not have any stress about weigh ins.
100% decided I'll join a PL club in jan, looking forward to it desu
>>35259468
It's awesome senpai.
How would you add squats 1x a week and RDL 1x a week to this pile of shit?
>>35259533
Pick a new pile of shit.
>>35259529
only one day a week there tho, unless i switch to a 4day and not confident enough to do that just yet for reasons
but fuck it only way i can compete ever and ive procrastinated it long enough
>>35259585
Seems like a sensible idea, but...
>>35259533
do RDLs with Pendlays
do squats with deadlifts
>>35259675

lads, just a friendly reminder to never ever ever ever do kipping pull ups, the gym I train at, is also a crossfit place, and a dear friend of mine had his forearms snap into 2 when he fell from the bar whilst kipping
I wasn't there when it happened but another lad told me he almost fainted on the spot
>>35260283
There's one already made that says this young son of a bitch is benching 4pl8..

because it's a weightlifting/crossfit gym, and thanks to my autism0 I talk to almost everyone
>>35260582
Im not disagreeing with you friendo, i like brady and the patriots, it just fits cause kipping pull-ups are cheating.
>>35260582
Not to mention he literally didn't cheat as determined by a judge
Lmao
Meanwhile niggers like Von Miller and any other defensive roided negro are praised despite cheating and getting caught cheating using steroids
>>35260589
I C, whats the price per month, cause i heard cross fit gyms are great cause they have tons of equipment but they are ridiculously expensive. True or not?
>>35260590
>kipping pull-ups are cheating
kipping is an absurdity in it's own realm altogether
still cannot figure out what muscles it proclaims to build nor any semblance of functionality other than flipping like a desperate fish vertically

>>35260595
>Not to mention he literally didn't cheat as determined by a judge
This too!
If he were a cheater he wouldn't be allowed to play, it's as simple as that.
>>35260614
True, ive been thinking lately that honestly the reason cross fit loves them that way is cause a lot of women do cross fit but cause most women have horrible upper body strength they can do almost no strict pull ups but to keep women included and make them feel good about themselves they made the official version kipping to help them out. Honestly the only thing i can come up with.
>>35260637
I like to say "kip, Kip, Kip" each time I do a Kipling I say one kip so I like to go really fast then wind down and go really say again and it makes a good kip kip kip sound
>>35260609
represent the gym during powerlifting meets, so I train for free :> (uhu) and sometimes personal train time to time
it is actually pretty fukkin pricey
monthly membership costs are a crazy $300 (or four fiddy?not sure), and there are only 30 spots
drop in rates are $15 per day if I'm not mistaken
I count myself very fortunate
>>35260615
it's okay Sean, I'm going to pass

Did you really just say 300$ a month? That is the fucking most absurd thing ive ever heard holy shit.
>>35260614
It's borrowed from gymnastics. Try getting doing a muscleup with wrings without kipping. I mean, doing it for a shitload of reps is fucking dumb, but kipping itself serves a purpose.
>>35260688
>Did you really just say 300$ a month? That is the fucking most absurd thing ive ever heard holy shit.
Did you know for outsiders to train at SeanSide barbell, it costs 2 thousand dollars a month?
>>35260699
I did not know that cause I dont even know what SeanSide barbell is and considering what you just said im glad i dont. Are people really that stupid theyd waste money like that or are they just that rich?
>>35260637
>the reason cross fit loves them that way is cause a lot of women do cross fit
I share the same thoughts, been reading up on 'sales' recently, and if you want a successful product, market it towards women.
srs
and if you're able to rope them in emotionally, you have a shit ton of shekels in the making.
all this #fitgurl #omgi'msofit #strongisthenewbeautiful etc and the message that feminism propagates is helping the crossfit industry for sure
most of the top female athletes in crossfit don't look natty TbQh, and yes, females do have absolutely horrible upper body strength compared to males, and perhaps that is why they invented kipping.
Or perhaps they just wanted to add in a little something special of their own, you know, just to make it more 'cross fitty-er'
>>35260730
It's a really exclusive gym

I like how you said that as if this isnt a known thing haha, thats like the easiest scam in the book, just sucker some women. I remember hearing that stupid kim kardashian app all those dumb girls play makes like a few million a month in micro transactions or something. Girls love wasting money.
>>35260750
How exclusive? And whats special about it that I would even want to join?
>>35260689
ah I see
always wanted to do a muscle up for the longest time, the imagination that when I propel myself up and overshoot, fly over the bar and then land on the ground face flat is what's stopping me
thanks for the aware brah
>>35260688
both people you've tagged in your post are the same person b t w
I'm not kidding, they have strongman equipment here (logs, tires[the biggest tire weighing about 400kgs] etc) and nice olympic weightlifting stuff
I'm really unsure of the price, but I know it's exceptionally sky rocket high for it's focus and speciality
>>35260786
>thinking you're so strong you can accidentally fling yourself over a bar from the pull up position
i think you'll be fine.
>>35260750
I doubt there is airborne testosterone or mystical weights that improve CNS adaptation.
You'd have to be a complete retard to blow that amount of money and not just buy your own home gym; after all, it doesn't get more exclusive than your home gym.
>>35260780
>How exclusive? And whats special about it that I would even want to join?
Very exclusive
It's a state of the art gym ran and coached by Sean
>>35260780
kim kardashian has an app?
that girl is a smart businesswoman.
Apart from wasting money, girls are very insecure, much more than males when it comes to physical appearances.
that's why a chick would spend two huniid bucks on some corset training shit when she could've just put in some time to get her diet right.
I would know, when I was really fat in high school foolishly purchased these 'fruit sachet' drinks that supposedly help you burn more fat with this best friend of mine. It didn't work, mostly because I still ate like shit back then.
>>35260786
Are you saying you said
>I like to say "kip, Kip, Kip" each time I do a Kipling
cause your trip wasnt on if so. And i dont care if the plates are made of gold 300 a month seems absurd to me. I pay 40 a month and i think even thats high.
>>35260823
How very exclusive? And what does state of the art even mean. Alien barbells? Isnt a gym a gym? I cant imagine it being worth 2000$ a month unless they have blowjob massage parlors and even then thats asking a lot.
>>35260823
Oh good. You'll spend more time drinking yourself into a coma and/or compulsively shitposting in multiple personas to cope with emotional insecurities and crippling loneliness than any actual training
>>35260845
>And what does state of the art even mean.
It means you get a drunken autistic manlet dyel canadian with a blown out shoulder to "coach" you.

gdnite breh, and yeah crossfit gyms are generally very pricey, and most of the people who attend it are there for the community/ can afford it
the cuntry where i live in, has a high cost of living, and there is srsly not much to do apart from eating and shopping (or fishing, if that's your thing) so splurging on a gym is pretty common if not typical

>>35260614
They're doing pull-ups for reps and within the limitations of the rulebook kipping them is absolutely the best strategy to win. I'd think powerlifters of all people should understand this.
>>35260934
spamming isnt trolling
>>35260893
Bitch, I am the king of this one
>>35261070
Holy fucking shit I never thought of it this way
>>35261076
That was after tho
>>35261070
doing them in competition is fine
using them for training is careless and retarded
>>35261107
Tbf though, now you sound like Tim Henriques saying powerlifters should only arch hard for meets.
>>35261107
They're practicing their technique in practice
>>35261106
I'm on week 4 day 2 of sheiko 29, I wasn't able to hit my deadlifts 85% for 3 doubles only singles do yall think I'm fatigued or I should have deflated my true maxes when I did the program
>>35261155
No that's not your deadlift face that's your face after you slammed your one rep max 405lbs to the ground then looked at the camera face
>>35261173
Should ask sheikoexpert
>>35261129
I don't think kipping pull ups should be compared to the benchpress in powerlifting. A single, all out effort is fundamentally different from a max pull up competition
If you can think of something like strongman, there are events they will have to practice what theyre doing, but they don't just repeatedly do that event as a form of training - and in competition their form can go to shit cause who cares as long as its legal.
and desu if you do have a crazy arch like in
>>35261070
you're missing a huge chunk of the ROM and not developing your structures out of that ROM
>>35261134
I agree its a skill that should be practiced, I don't agree using them for all pull ups in training is necessary or useful for building pulling strength.
>>35260567
(noticed)
>>35260893
Wasn't a max it was actually a really easy rep but you get it.
>>35261173
29 is a low volume program lad, you should be good for 85 doubles. Consider also that 85 is actually fairly fucking heavy and you weren't mentally prepared to work as hard as you actually had to.
What ratio of paused and unpaused bench do y'all do?
3pl8 bench soon lads
Only 10 more years
>>35261511
I pause all my bench reps, not all of it is a competition pause but I dont TnG or bounce any reps.
Well the Mountain is an autist because he can't speak. He shouts all the time while keeping his face dead from emotion, while trying to display emotion.
Also, in an interview after lifting atlas stones he shouted "NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOTHING CAN BREAK ME" and then immediately after he put up tank tops in his webshop that said that same quote.
Come on man..... it's obvious he'd thought out that line loong before. He's thinking up quotes, then quoting himself. Lel. OTHER'S should quote you, not yourself.
>>35261511
I only practice my pause 1 month or so out of comp and i barely see a 5kg difference
depends how significant your bounce is in tng I guess
>>35261511
I don't do unpaused, don't see the point.
>>35261555

Laderinos. Need some help. I've had an acidic breath for as long as I can remember. I'm also a recovering mouth breather.
Internet says it could be acid reflux, GERP. It could also be blood levels gone wack from wrong oxygen/carbon balance from mouth breathing (think it translates to hyperventilating as far as the body is concerned). It could also be that my stomach lining is worn down from drinking way too much coffee (I quit that now, easy)
Now I also got candidiasis on my tongue, a normal fungi found in the body, but which went wack and started growing too much. It thrives in acidic environments.
I've found a lot of solutions on the interwebs but how do I know what I have?
Doctors don't know fucking shit man. I specifically asked one if I had fungi but she said nooooo.
Doctors can't help, interwebs is like a jungle. How do I find the way? Thx lads.
>>35261675
Would you classify your shits to be a stinky smelly diareah splatter (a topkek100) or a big pile of shit in the toilet (a captainpoutine)
>>35260158
are you dutch m8? so is that bench portion from tsa? or havent you ran it yet?
>>35261742
It smells worse than regular shit and goes from pasty to liquid, no visible signs of upper or lower GI bleeding, although there might be a bit of steatorrhea. What's weird, though, is that I my bowel movements are normal. I have to take a shit just as often as I did before and feel no pain, it just so happens that the consistency is fucked.
I feel really disconnected from plg

That's because you're not a champion
Lads 2016 is coming to a close. How much did you add to your total? Did you reach your goals? What did you learn that you're going to bring into 2017?
My goal this year was to squat 600lbs. Didn't even come close, best squat right now is 545lbs in the gym. Granted it was ezpz and I stopped there because of potential for reinjury but still not even close.
This year was more about bringing up my lifts technically and training on competition equipment to make my lifts replicable on the platform. Maybe added 100lbs to my gym total.
My main issue has been staying healthy and I've definitely learned a lot about pre-hab, rehab, letting go of the ego and taking it easy when it's necessary. Goals for 2017. Compete 3 times in IPF competition. Total 700+kg in competition. 400 wilks in competition. Squat and deadlift 600lbs in competition.
How bout you senpai?
>>35262002
Bench 745lbs
>>35261852
Yes
>>35262002
>How much did you add to your total? Did you reach your goals?
Oof, don't remind me
>>35261916
i love how bryce's face looks like he is about to explode even though there is like 50% on the bar.
really wish he still made some yt videos
>>35262002
I learnt a salivary nothing and I'm still making the mistakes I made in January.
At least I found out you're suppose to increase the weight every session and not once a month when it feels easy

I went to world's and won a medal in one of the disciplines. I have achieved, through luck happenstance and a teeny bit of being alright at something, something I couldn't have imagined when I first quit rowing two and a half years ago.
I have not even come close to achieving the lifts I thought I could. And I equally couldn't have believed I'd still be this bad.
My 18yo self would likely laugh at me. For not being much stronger, for going >equipped, and for getting fat. However the 23yo would call him a callow idiot with no experience and so much to learn and at least he'd be right about that.
>>35262047
Give him a break he's a stupid Ukrainian with broken English, it's not his fault
>>35262002
This year had loads of ups and downs training-wise, pretty much surpassed my own expectations on squats and deadlifts, meh on bench, only really improved from december to june and kinda stalled since then.
My goals for next year are 280kg squats and deadlifts and 180kg bench, I would like to total 450 wilks in comp, it's going to be hard, but it's better to aim slightly too high than too low
hello, long time lurker here, this seems like one of the more serious threads, i was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on my deadlift
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22g5pD30ExU
i know the form is mediocre at best, but i have no clue how to improve it, straps are due to a long going struggle with carpal tunnel
>>35262002
>My main issue has been staying healthy and I've definitely learned a lot about pre-hab, rehab, letting go of the ego and taking it easy when it's necessar
you and me both, just healed up a pec strain
reason it healed was that i didn't rek it, which i didnt do because i put my hip out of action doing exactly that about half a year ago
it's "progress" as i wouldve fucked myself iwth my old mindset eventually, just not the same as numbers
>>35262083
Does she like cUcking people cause thats a must for Isley
>>35262092
If I had aimed less high I wouldn't have injured myself squatting and would probably have set a total pb of more than 2.5kg
>>35262088
Thanks for standing up for me lad.
>>35262002
>>35262002
*2015/2016* Ignore my retardation, which I notice everyone already has.

Stiff-legged catback sumo. If you're not trolling, it should be seriously obvious what your problems are. No bracing of the abs/mid-upper back, piss poor engagement of the legs, both quads and hams, and please stop rolling the bar toward yourself to start the lift.
>>35262112
Come on she's perfect for you
>>35262084
>My 18yo self would likely laugh at me
As would the entirety of PLG
>>35262112
+10-15kg on squats and deadlifts is not aiming TOO high, +10kg on bench may be, but this year I gained around 30kg on both squats and deads and around 15kg on bench, so it may be possible, who knows
>>35262178
>is not aiming TOO high
You seem to forget that some of us aren't on steroids
>>35262100
its pretty evident your only cues are
>grab
>pull
look up any basic sumo form video
>>35262002
>How much did you add to your total?
60kg nationals to nationals(july)
was sick at nationals this year though, whereas nationals last year was a good competition
50kg from regionals to regionals(november)
both decent competitions, last year was definitely better though where I got 9/9. This year I was 12,5kg from my skills test PR in deadlift which is shitty, and I missed a bench on a technical error
>Did you reach your goals?
I rarely set goals in numbers. I dont have specific expectations, just expectations of improvement.
Wanted to set a new national squat record on nationals, I didnt.
Wanted to get a medal at nationals, got one.
Wanted to get a bronze in team nationals, got silver
>What did you learn that you're going to bring into 2017?
Lots of things, where to begin...
>sheiko is good
>dont neglect deadlift eccentric
>technique can ALWAYS be better, back should always be straighter in the deadlift
>dont overdo the skills test, it will have negative effects on competition performance
>dont overarch in the bench
>deadlifting is definitely my #1 lift genetically(basically just confirming what Ive known for years)
>dont get too fat, stay 4kg from 105 tops
probably forgot something I cant remember on the top of my head.
Doing Sheiko 3 day for over 80kg bw, my question is once you test out the new maxes at the start of block #32, do you just redo #37 and #31?
>>35262217
>dont neglect deadlift eccentric
pls expand?
>>35260661
holy fuck 3 bills a month lolololzor
<3 u babydoll qt3.14 Sparrow would make babies with you in a heart beat
>>35260733
yeah check them roid delts
>>35260893
>>35262223
I would work up to heavy singles that look and feel like 2nd attempts on skills test day and then actually go balls out on the comp day.
>>35262223
You can, I assume you don't have a meet coming up. I'd take four days or a week off after the test though if that's your plan.
>>35262234
By just letting the weight fall down in my hands or by dropping them, I'm missing out on good training.
Both technical, drilling in the position, and physichal. Utilising the eccentric in training is not to be underestimated.
>>35262002
I hadn't really set any goals, but I'm happy with my progress. I've had to stare the reality of being injured in the face. I'm very proud to have stuck with my programming for so long, and am excited with my progress as I get closer to my first meet.
Probably most proud of my bench technique progress.
>>35262002
Gained 135lbs on my total, would be higher but my squat has been shit due to tendinitis for 2/3 of the year, and I'm still down 50lbs on it
>>35262280
I don't train the eccentric for two reasons:
>fatigue accumulation (if I'm using the word correctly?)
>fear of injury
I deadlift 140kg for 5, so not much at all.
Should I look into controlling the eccentric?
I can't think of a single exercise where I control the eccentric, excluding bench.
>>35262002
>how much did you add to total
110-120lbs at the same BW
>did you reach your goals
not even close
>what did you learn
gains are going to be significantly slower than I thought they would be at this point. also eat more
>goals for 2016
390-400 wilks
git huge
>>35262340
You absolutely should control the eccentric, I've been told this by good coaches but I'm an idiot and forget all the time. Think of it this way. You'd be spending almost twice as much time in your positions if you controlled the eccentric.
>>35261632
One day your eyes will finally leave your face.
>>35262340
fatigue is a legitimate concern, and the reason why I chose to only put 305 as my deadlift max in this next sheiko cycle
Injury is something I'm doubtful of, I'd argue that for most lifts injury risk is lowered by controlling the eccentric
>>35262269
>>35262273
No meets coming up, just training right now. I just wasn't sure if you rinse and repeat the program once you get new maxes.
>>35262100
thats fucking awful
pls be troll
>>35262386
>>35262375
Alright, thanks for the heads up. I deadlift to morrow so I'll see how it goes.
Could you do me a huge favour and post an example video of controlling the eccentric?
I'm not entirely sure of the speed and amount of control.
>>35262100
>when people with form this shit still pull more than me without getting hurt
ughhh
>>35262002
I learned I hate powerlifting. I got into the gym because:
>wanted to be fucking huge
>wanted to look huge and at least look some what good
>just wanted to be strong as shit
These goals took me to just bulking / cutting like a maniac all the time, and just lifting heavy shit and going hard all the time. That was fun. I enjoyed it. I enjoy just training like a retard. Now that I know what powerlifting really is and what it takes to be better at it, I just don't give a fuck about it any more.
>>35262433
then stop you fucking idiot
>>35262002
>>how much did you add to total
something like 150-200 freedoms
>>did you reach your goals
yeas but then I changed my goals, so no
>>what did you learn
plateauing sucks, working a full time manual labor job and trying to get gains sucks
>>goals for 2016
420 blaze it wilks
>>35262386
>12.5kg below actual deadlift max
umm? care to explain? sheiko says dont do that
>>35262422
Id say this is enough:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0vZnziUZIc
Last rep being slightly sloppy because of fatigue, probably
>>35262433
Similar to me.
I learnt I want to just be strong, not specialise.
I also learnt I need to stretch more, do more mobility work, perfect form and be increase work capacity.
I recon I'll get around to doing none of it in 2016
>>35262460
I think I understand, thanks again for the heads up.
A little topkek100 is trying to escape from my butthole rn
Testing 1rm's tomorrow, see if the last two months did me any good. night lads
>>35262542
Fuck off Seen it's a lame joke
>>35262002
Going into this year, my goal was just to not be a fatass. I was approximately 3pl8 thanksgiving 2014. I'm down to about 2pl8 now and feel so much better physically and mentally.
Lifting wise, I've only been lifting since early may and training for powerlifting since early july (thanks to /plg/ desu) I have my first meet this next april and I'd like to hit somewhere in the range of 405/275/475 @ 231lb. My current prs as of december 1st are 370/245/445, so I think those numbers are well within the range of possibility.
But my main goal is just to get stronger and further improve my body composition and health.
>>35262542
are you coming out publicly as a pantsshitter sean?
>>35262600
Trip on topkek
>>35262433
>>35262462

>>35262600
>>35262600
Dont you have someone to buy dinner for and subsequently go home alone?
242nd for tomorrow sounds like a lot of people are testing maxes, so that's exciting. Hope everyone smeshes their lifts
>>35262572

>>35262639
Whaaaaaaaat
Yeah I mean obviously take it, SBD is the shit
>>35262639

>>35262639
Literally why wouldn't you?
>>35262600
Dont you have someone to buy dinner for and subsequently go home alone?
>>35262641
Let's hope a littletopkek100 doesn't come out
LOL
>>35262600
Were you concerned about your health the first time youve Seen your max effort face? Not trolling, i have never Seen my max face but i would be really shocked if it turned out to look similar to yours.
>>35262639
obviously you take it, what the fuck
are you numero uno over there?
>>35262639
I would be a shameless shill if given that opportunity.
why can't Canadian hero hancott get SBD sponsorship but this Italian cheating nobody can? Wtf
>>35262682
>why can't Canadian hero hancott get SBD sponsorship
SBD denied his offer of showing the SBD logo once per week for 20000canadian dollarinos per month
>>35262660
I have been wondering about that too. Shits scary
>>35262682
i know of a <52kg asian girl that is basically 'nobody' thats sponsored
does have a 400 wilks tho
>>35262682
did this Italian fellow bomb out of worlds?
>>35262657
>>35262669
>>35262659
I'm still somewhat concerned about my privacy, but fuck it, they said they'll just post some pictures on their website and I'll have to make a vid or two, shouldn't be too bad, also I really like the quality of their stuff so I wouldn't be shilling AND lying.
>>35262665
From next year I'll be the second ranked junior in my country, I could take over right now given the chance, but I gotta wait for a comp
>>35262744
No it's some roided Italian who lies about being on Roids, posts on here
He's never been to worlds
>>35262709
such entrepreneurial skill
