Norsefat are you a white supremacist ?
>>35615896
Shut up, foul temptress.
Staying natty and competing IPF is the right thing to do.
What areas of the body are typically hypertrophied in a good all-around total lifter? Front delts, legs, spinal erectors? Opinions? Very curious. Will give out a rare Pepe for best answer.
>>35615823
OUTTA MY WAY YOU TWINK SHITS
>>35615932
Back, legs? Core? You can force up almost any kind of heavy multijoint lift if you have a strong core and back.
>>35615932
Front delts, traps, rhomboids, spinal erectors, tris, hammies, glutes, tear drop on quads.
>>35615963

Just moved to a new town, very small town. Got my eye on 2 hotties. But now I realized, they're the hottest girls in town. Like. The hottest. How the fuck am I gonna seduce one of Them?
>>35615823
Tfw Norsie won't ever be your bear
>>35615932
Calves. Hear me out. The soleous is used to correct flexion in hip rotation which creates a huge torque on the dominant low insertion calves. This helps stabalize every lift and create a metamuscle, essentially. It makes the muscle operate and use a true motion instead of a small RoM. Essentially calves will shift all the force from the floor into your hams which will transfer into your spine creating a massive CNS boost.

Say "Hey, what's up? Cheah, I'm new in town looking to get used to the city". At this point light up a cigarette, and casually say "Where ya' from?". "Here" she'll probably say.

not him, but hammering calves has really helped with my flat feet, which has in turn translated to more stability in the squat and deadlift.

I've got the same flexible flat feet/false flat feet, and a combination of calf raises, consciously walking more on the edge of my foot, and when I have to walk a lot I wear shoes with decent arch support have all helped.

powerlifting is always measured in kgs
even you americlaps are cucked into using kgs on meet day
>>35616823
Hasn't it been shown that if you are staying in a fixed weightclass gear only helps 10-15%?
>>35617105
Wow equipped powerlifting is a massive joke
>>35616633
damn m8. cool to hear from a fellow lifter. how tight are your hips? if you're anything like Elliott and me then they're tight as fuck. Every day I fall back into tightness, actually after like an hour after stretching I'm tight again. It's fucking up my squat training. Tight quads pull down on the pelvis and disable my lower abs. They simply don't get nervous activity and they are horribly weak and behind compared to the rest of the body. My gut spills out and I have donald duck posture.
>>35616894
where did you meet Smulter and where are you from?
>>35617207
I've actually got a bit of lordosis, but there isn't much I can do about it due to my morphology. my hips don't externally rotate well with a normal standing stance since my adductors are so large that they essentially leverage my hips apart when I try to pull my hips under me.
>>35617186
there is a like a 10% difference between elite for both tested and untested. But you progress alot faster with roids that you can reach an "elite" level faster.
>>35617321
Only a fool would think the untested people are as good as the tested ones though
its like 10% participation or less
>>35617334
thats why i was only comparing elites.
curry nigger topkek100
>>35617357
sure
but the elites will be worse than the tested elites because of participation
more participation = better at the top
desu the 10% participation rule doesnt even involve the crucial fact that not everyone in the weightclass is on the same amount of steroids as the top
so basically, untested is a joke compared to IPF
>>35617186
10% of what
if it's their total, thats the difference between a 600kg and 700kg total. that's huge
>only
>>35617256
I bought insoles, but they were shitty. So I looked at google for better insoles, got an idea of what I needed, called for an orthopedian time in my town, explained what I wanted and he understood me. Next week I'll go there and get next level false feet insoles. I'm gonna lift up my ''big toe'' along with the arch. This is a physical problem. It has physical solutions. We must be able to fix it.
I hope the insoles will make me more stable and allow the adductors to relax a bit, making it easier to stretch me fully open. Possibly make me get into a good squat position with possibilities for good movement mechanics.
>>35617334
This. Powerlifting generally, but untested feds specially aren't big enough to be saturated with talent. The smaller the talent pool is, the worse the top(generally). Drugs/no weigh-ins and different equipment play a huge role in why lolfeds have bigger numbers then the larger IPF.

Because strongmen are obscenely strong, and deadlift variations are competition lifts for them. 400+ kilo pulls are basically a prerequisite for them.

Day 92 blog: my last post doesn't count because it was only about my first session.
Felt like shit today during squats between classes, still worked up to 475, which admittedly felt way better than my warmups, but not enough so to keep going up. Got some crazy quad soreness and some random pains in my knee and shoulder.
Went to class, went home, jerked off, and took a nap. Went back to the gym feeling much better.
Worked up in front squats and attempted a max of 370. Felt easy and smooth going down but I tipped too far forward and lost it out of the hole. How the fuck do you guys not revert to backsquat form under heavy front squats? My upper back and quads should be able to handle that weight.
Doing SS basically with weighted dips, on my 4th session, gonna ride the linear gains out and then come back to benching. Hit 3x5 with 20lbs way too easy for my fat weight. Then did 1xf with 1pl8 to see where I was and got 5.
Hit some incline DB bench, skull crushers, side raises, and face pulls.

>>35618379
Nah, you just need to figure out what's wrong, also I believe you could squat so much more if you adopted a wider stance and kept a straighter back, your limbs are too long for your current setup imho. Also try to find a type of programming that keeps you motivated, that's the #1 thing
>>35618448
Nah, maybe VERY tight knee wraps could.
I don't think you'd be able to fit a knee sleeve so tight it damages your knee
>>35618474
>>35618474
>also I believe you could squat so much more if you adopted a wider stance and kept a straighter back, your limbs are too long for your current setup imho.
yep, makes sense. Except when your hip sockets are all fucked up and you are physically unable to go wider because bones are touching lel.
this is part of the reason I'm thinking of adopting an active recovery day / stretching day, specifcally to hammer my groin every single time and try to get that shit opened up the best I can.
>>35617585

>>35616823
Isley you sound mad as fuck tbqh
I just watched a video of Jason Blaha and he said that 270lbs was a respectable bench for a natty (the guy in question trained for 7years).
So people can skyrocket from 110lbs bench to 220lbs in a year and then it takes 6 more years to reach "just" 270lbs ? If that is true that really fucking sucks.
>>35618597
Blaha is a joke
>>35618597
For a casual gym goer. He said "non-competitive".
I actually agree to an extent. If you get too caught up in what the elite are doing you are most likely never going to feel good about yourself.
>>35618597
270 is only respectable for a twink who hasn't been training more than a few years
But I will say the road from 2 plate to 3 plate is much longer than the road to 2 plate
>>35616889

That is a road you do NOT want to go down.
Seriously. If you want the IPF to have a good reputation, then use GOOD arguments against it. NEVER the butt-blasted "I COULD DO THAT TOO IF I TOOK A GAZILLION CHEMICALS"
>>35618557
I can't confirm that, but I'm pretty inclined to believe i have really deep recessed hip sockets. I've tried gently moving my hips around to find the edges of it and i can notice a definite spot where my legs just aren't capable of going. it just happens to be part of the range of motion for a wide stanced squat
RIP
>>35618664
By what Blaha says thats five years of progress in a year
>>35618664

>>35615771
Hey guys, this is a really stupid thing.
I want to have a world record at most dips done in one minute or at most dips in one minute with a 100lb back pack.
Do you recomend any program?
Currently I do 20dips with 45lb back pack(no time limit, but, must be around 1'30''
I'm just doing 3x5 on dips and texas method

>>35618597
>listened to blaha
*facepalm*
270 is average as shit if you're over 140lb in bw. +300 should be achievable for most under 200 desu. And the heavier you are the larger than number becomes of course. However if you're +6ft and sub 200 then you're doomed to be shit because you're a fucking skinny weed.
>>35618713
record is 119 in one minute (no weight) and with the 100lb backpack (45kg) 28
>>35618730
You're pathetic
maybe he just had better programming than your dumbass le max all the time xD training
not to mention literally everyone surpassed you, your bench is shit just like the rest o f your lifts, fat boy
>inb4 a laughable response from tripless benchbeta
lol powerlifting confirmed for lazy neets. You fuckers got some deformed level calves holy shit do some other excercise besides 5x5
>>35618765
Is it true you can't bench or deadlift and also only squat twice a week?
Surely if that were true you wouldn't act this way.
>>35618730
>>35618730
>I see nothing wrong with that statement.
well i'm sorry, but you're severely overlooking the implications of the statement.
I'm not going to call you an idiot because you're not, but this is willful ignorance, which IMHO is the definition of stupidity.
>>35618788
>5x5
r u srs
>>35618788
kill yourself lmao
>>35618797
Explain why you think this.
>>35618788
5x5 is now an exercise
kek
>>35618788
>5x5
fuck that, too tiring
triples instead, much easier :^)
>>35618797
please post screen shot once you get around to posting my comic
>>35618007
You both look like, and seem like you're having some fun.
Welcome back to earth, space man :)
>>35618788
>powerlifting confirmed for lazy neets.
Lol, it is what you make it.
Some of us train pretty hard. Compared to college sport, it's still decently tough.
Compared to the average /fit/ douche, I'd like to think we're collectively working very hard.
>>35618788
>lazy
do the phil death cycle and come back
>>35618086
holy fuck dude
your body is amazing
I'm so jealous, legit. that waist/hip size is perfect
>>35618861
The strong men in these threats are much more goal oriented and driven than the soul less , dead eyes gawkers at your commercial gyms. We cozy up their shrink wrap and we put it in the pantry every time
>>35618976
This is the saddest thing I've read all day... ha.
Luckily, many of us are here to raise up the soulless. Bringing people on the journey is half the fun!
>inb4 i'm not strong
I still like to hitch a ride on strong dudes (nogay), but I'm running out of local drug-free guys.
>>35618813
I wrote 3 paragraphs and then I just deleted it.
tl;dr - the statement itself is fine and most likely true.
The context was the the way he [brandon lolly] was doing things was objectively bad, and the "I could do that much if......" was the rationalization as to why it was bad. That doesn't hold any water:
>his training is retarded because its the juice making him stronger not the training
or, maybe juicing it makes more sense to train like that, because you don't have to fucking grind pants-on-head retarded amounts of fucking grueling volume, destroying your body in the process, to get 15 kg on your total.
basically, you don't logically get to compare across the two.
Also, there are MUCH better fucking arguments as to why the IPF is the "one true fed" than "hurrrr they all just do sturroids and its not fair waaaah"
>>35618850
not happening diddler
>>35618861
eh. its pretty bleh right now just because there's nothing going on.
>>35618888
seriously this.
>>35619028
I wasn't thinking any of that with that statement.
>>35619028
are you 23?
>>35619105
24 i think
>>35619028
neither benchjoe or jorge was using it as an argument against non ipf feds
they were both saying its not hard to bench lots of weight if you just shoot tons of steroids and eat tons of food
in order to bench 5pl8 with those parameters, you dont need good programming[or even programming at all, just arbitrarily performed sets and reps]
>>35619124
>i think
>yfw
>>35619144
prettty much.
>>35619125
which is why i refrained from blowing up. realized it halfway through.
Ι recently started laggin on my lifts and I realized that I was stupid enough to not think the lbs part on the popular strength programs and I was adding 1.25kg(the smallest plates in my gym) on each side for the lifts. Well obviously deadlifts and squats weren't that much of a problem but my bench fucking stalled at 70kg 3x5 and ohp at 50kg 3x5. Do you think that the +2.5kg total was a big reason that this happened ?
>>35619186
Was gonna make a joke about "did you wash up on shore as a kid of unknown age with "TILL AMERIKA" stamped on your buttcheeks" but then i realized you're not exactly close to a shore
>>35619191
nah i think that's just where the progress tends to stall on SS for smaller guys desu. if you can further microload you might be able to eek out a little more progress but i think you need to change programming for upper body lifts.
>>35619191
No. Microplates would help a bit but I know plenty of people who got good results and never used them. Eat more sleep more and consider doing a program less reliant on microplates like candito lp or hepburn
>>35619232
Please delete my image off your computer.
Thanks.
>>35619214
>>35619224
Τhank you bros. I think that I'm overthinking stuff. Maybe I will aim for 6-8 reps before advancing plus some accessory.
Buda
dont you ever shave that wonderful mustache
>>35619214
Also if you can suggest some better programming for upper body please care to mention it. Also some progression tips,like sets and reps, would be deeply appreciated my friend.
Who /malefeministpowerlifterlikeisley/ here?
>>35619262
>dont you ever shave
No joke, I love the stache. However, it gets intermittently shaved when the following occurs:
>I end up with food in it past the designated allotted time (3 hours)
OR
>wife gets friction burn in crotch
Barring either of those circumstances, I like having it to filter my bourbon.
>>35619270
>progression tips,like sets and reps
This chart has never done me wrong.
Use "RPE" as a "difficulty level".
>New gym doesnt have a squat rack
>Was planning on competing this year
well, fuck.
>>35619299
Your lifting day must be fucking empty if you have nothing else to talk about.
Did you lift today, Seen? How did it go? Any PR's recently?
I set 5 PR's this week. How about you?
>>35618597
>taking anything that Blaha says as fact
>>35619314
>I set 5 PRs this week
nice, I bet you can do that every week right! you must be really strong dude
>>35619306
use shampoo and conditioner in it occasionally
do you lift in the gym near a private highschool off of 40?
I know there to be one near it, and was wondering if you suggested it.
>>35619313
Is their an incline bench or a smith machine you can hang a barbell off?
Not very safe as if you fail a rep you have to drop the weight but if you don't go to failure its better than nothing
>>35619125
IIRC only 30-something people have ever benched over 600lbs/272kg in competition though, while there are millions of steroid users in the United States alone. Lilly is exceptionally good at benching, he's not like that tard from fraud trying to brag about a 170kg bench after years on gear.
I understand your point and I'm not starting an argument, just pointing out that he's not a good example of what you're talking about.
>>35619314
Sean does sheiko 3 day so no he didn't.
And since he can't bench or deadlift he only lifts twice a week doing half the workout each time.
>>35619333
>I bet you can do that every week right!
Sometimes. This has been a fun week :)
>>35619334
>do you lift in the gym near a private highschool off of 40?
You talking about the one in maplewood? If so, then no, but I've been there once. Invite only, but it was an AWESOME gym, and the lifters were super fun.
>>35619354
>since he can't bench or deadlift he only lifts twice a week doing half the workout each time.
Sweet Jesus. That sounds miserable.
>>35619270
its not that the programming is bad its just that you aren't at that level anymore. Texas method is a frequent next step. someone else suggested Candito's linear or hepburn. Buda's idea is more fundamental and less "do this" but it'll probably help you learn.
>>35619337
if a gym does not have a squat rack there is not way the administration is going to allow that.
>>35619374
I was not, but thank you for the heads up, I am really not happy at the gym I am at.
I preffer gyms where I have competition to lift against.
I was referring to the one across Forest Park
>>35619314
Wow! I'm so proud of you! You did awesome, who's a good boy. That's worth 5 special star points, and you know all about being special don't you.
>>35619412
>if a gym does not have a squat rack there is not way the administration is going to allow that.
My friend and I did that and they bought a squat rack a month later. Probably because people started copying us
>>35619437
Lol
>>35619437
Ahahaha kekd
>>35619425
"The Lab?" I think there is a breddy strong /fit/ dude that lifts there. Strongtoast maybe?
Heard it's a decent gym.
Eagle in Overland, and Max Effort in Maplewood are more "serious" PL oriented gyms. Eagle is basic, grungy, and "iron lyfe", where Max Effort is a bit more "USAPL" oriented (but it is invite only).
Either way, there are some good options near you :) Max Effort has an 850 lb puller, Eagle has some impressive specimens as well.
>>35619437
>That's worth 5 special star points
Thx bby! But seriously, you sound like the saddest, most cynical cunt in the whole spank forum. I will not lift with you, ever.
No stars for you. Only frowny faces drawn in red ink.
>>35619437
Why does Buda even try, his wit is weak just like himself
>>35619469
Fug
I want to go on a weekly tour now
The Lab is the closest one to me though, so I will probably look into that Gym more so than anything else
>>35619476
I'm fucking adorable (objectively).
>>35619491
>I want to go on a weekly tour now
Eagle is only $5 for a daily visit. Rick is the owner. They have a monolift, decent benches, some good DL bars, and a boxing ring if you're feeling spicy.
Max Effort you'll have to call to arrange an interview/visit. I would LOVE to train there, but it's too far of a drive, and I don't have the time :(
I've heard great stuff about the Lab, though. I used to live right across from Forest Park, but I moved before it opened, I guess.
>>35618631
Tbh untrained to 225 took me longer than 225 to 315. But I suck so that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
>>35619469
>implying I'd ever consider lifting with a fat,weak,ugly, pathetic hairy neckbeard Greg Cuckolds dick rider like yourself
You're like Buda without everything except corpulence
>>35619522
>to far of a drive
That alone is my biggest problem, the drive to these gyms are most likely 20+ minutes for each of them.
When I have time, Ill try my best to atleast two of them though.
I have never been in a dedicated "PLing" atmosphere, so I have no idea what to expect
>>35619568
>complaining about a 20 minute drive
The nearest serious gym to me is an hour and a half drive :|
>>35619597
do you live in the booneys for goodness sake?
