I think it's unfair to limit this to exclusively girls. There are for sure some bros who buy into crossfit/powerlifting to pick up chicks.
The BCPA has some very talented female lifters, and I'm sure every fed does too. But yeah, I agree, to an extent, the instagramism is pretty brutal sometimes. Just be careful not to count out females in the sport because of your jaded opinion on just a few.
>>36513547
First thing I would look at is my setup.
If you're solid there, I'd add paused deads to drill both of those problems. Deficit deads could work too.
>>36513627
One day I will one day...
>>36513627
Um excuse me I made mine 3 hours before u
This window will close in 3..
>>36513627
Getting back into after a long time off....
Thinking I'll just do them 3x5s until I cant anymore and then back to TM...
sound good?
in for high bar training
does anybody on plg pull similar to David troutt or luigi fagiani?
>mfw clicker faggots kill me with their OP arty faggot tanks
>>36513655
I've finally fixed my setup to the point where the bar path is straight up but I am looking into that now. Another anon posted about using my lats. Any good mental queues for doing so?
>>36513685
I'm not familiar with either of them desu, how about making a webm of their technique
RIP /plg/, you won't be missed.
I'm hyped for tomorrow's workout. Intensities are climbing enough that training is getting fun again in that way only heavy sessions are.
>>36513655
Speaking of, you need to get your ass in gear. I'm still rooting for you in our race.
>>36513703
Stop the tickle monster, senpai.
>>36513703
Pull your arms into your body would be my cue
>>36513710
>Speaking of, you need to get your ass in gear. I'm still rooting for you in our race
I had a mediocre day today, but I expected it to be tough with no rest day between deads and squats. Squats are still climbing tho
>>36513685
Luigi has the ugliest pull in the industry imo
>>36513705
can't webm on phone. both rip bar off ground, and it looks like their arms are going to rip off
http://youtu.be/7zZQMaBVufM
http://youtu.be/_a3yu964hnQ
>>36513703
Pretend somebody is trying to tickle your armpits and you need to safeguard those niggas.
That fixed my shit up overnight.
>>36513703
pretend orange in armpit and squeeze
>>36513742
Agreed, I brought this up in a PLG earlier this week but nobody really responded. He is strong yes but pulls like an absolute retard. Tee Cummins also has an annoying deadlift to watch.
Wish I could get as strong as either of them pulling like an idiot.
Taking amber in to teach her some squat basics tomorrow.
Maybe it'll be fun.
Maybe a disaster.
We'll see.
>>36513788
>benchbro
>teaches squats
>>36513788
>shes gonna deadlift more than you in 4 months
>>36513788
Hopefully you don't teach her how to get buttwink like you do
>>36513788
what game is this i see you constantly posting
will it assuage my existential depression
>>36513784
ah man, luigi posted a clients DL pr, and he was lanky, used a stance like shaw and ripped bar like luigi, it was tough to watch his knees cave in
>>36513745
that technique is horrible for your body, and only used by iron lyfers since it looks "cool"
>>36513788
They never squat low enough.
>>36513801
listen here faggot
im giving you a one time offer to leave here and never come back
if you accept your life will go on as normal
if you dont leave I will end you
choose wisely you little fag jbeebz ass scared twink shit
>>36513822
I know it's awful, I'm just wondering if anybody on plg does it
How do you pull conventional without eventually snapping your shit?
e.g.:
get stronger, need to go up in weight, go up in weight, snap shit.
It just seems to me that form goes so quickly when youre tired im not sure exactly how to overload without form breakdown
>>36513728
If you'd stop messing around with inferior bars you'd progress faster.
>>36513847
you dont
sumo master race
>>36513822
what about it is horrible?
>>36513847
or you could keep form by getting stronger
>>36513801
Did paused squats today for the first time in my programming.
Too much fuckin fun, they are a blast
>>36513847
In an ideal world you would never do a rep with severe form breakdown unless it was a third attempt in a meet. You can get stronger without testing your max for a very long period of time. Honestly you could probably do it indefinitely.
>>36513858
>pulls like that
>bicep immediately shreds
thx crossfit
>>36513869
actually lat went first
>>36513801
>Jeffrey
>benching 3pl8
I know the basics. She's not needing anything major. She's not doing Pl after all.
>>36513811
I fixed mine desu.
>>36513815
War thunder. It's but planes and tanks both in the game separate and also together. Also uses realistic damage models based on actually hitting things in the tank instead of health bars.
>>36513878
no bully friend.
>>36513866
i want to throw them in post comp but idk where.
>>36513846
I don't think anybody here would benefit from that technique, it requires a bendaroo bar to keep from exploding all the disks in your back at once and severing both biceps
>>36513869
David Troutt has magically never torn his bicep
Although bicep tears are usually a result of performing the lift with your underhand bicep slightly flexed, and by yanking the absolute fuck out of the bar, your arms straighten relatively quickly.
>>36513868
So if you are doing a 1 x 5 TM type thign for diddly once per week, what would be the best way to modify this so you arent reachin form breakdown for your 1 x 5s?
Just some more volume at lighter weight on day 1?
>>36513820
Ugh I see that shit from the lilliebridges ALL THE TIME
>>36513784
Totally agree. Cummins doesn't bother me as much
Hit 365 _EASY_ on squat tonight. I don't even squat. 170.0 lb. Made Albert look silly. #RamFam
Lads I'm on the train and this 7/10 grill keeps looking over in my direction every 5 seconds
I'm autistic and this is making me feel uncomfortable
What do
Weakness off the chest, not a stability problem. what bench variation should i do? Current is 2ct pause, keep or change?
>>36513957

>>36513962
Spoto press
Not memeing I swear
>>36513957
Kick the shit out of the guy closest to you, in order to show dominance. While you have her attention, quickly inform her that you know how to find the clitorus.
>>36513962

>>36513962

>>36513962

>>36513974
i thought spoto press only really helped with stability and was for people who had poor control near the chest.
>>36513981
looking for a bench variation, not an accessory.
also i bench max width grip if that makes a difference.
>>36513910
It's very hard. That's one of the main reasons I personally stopped doing Texas Method. Ideally you should shoot for a number on ID that will let you get 5 clean reps. Not perfect, but not complete breakdown to the point where you are severely rounded.
A bit of form breakdown at some point is pretty well inevitable on a program with weekly maxing. What you could do is instead of doing 1x5, you could use the same weight or slightly less to do 2x3, and increase it that way. You are still getting the work in by doing that, but you aren't compromising yourself as much. As long as the weight is going up each week you are making progress.
For VD I liked to do some lighter deadlifts, or another deadlift variation. Romanian deadlifts are great because they can teach hip hinge. It all depends what you can recover from. If you keep the percentage of your max low enough on VD, your ID shouldn't suffer. Just remember that Texas Method is a template. You can play with the sets x reps as long as you follow the guidelines.
>>36513987
dumbbell presses
>>36513894
>no bully friend
I don't know if I can trust you late night guys anymore after board and poutine stabbing me in the back.
>>36513987
dumbbell press, cambered bar, or spoto srs, work at 6-10 rep range
>>36513962
S P O T O
Maybe DB if your gym has heavy enough ones.
>>36514007
You can always trust me, friend
>>36514007
>joe talking about back stabbing

>>36514007
Hey just fyi I didn't mean that "slow progress" thing as a bully, I just thought you'd benefit from a more controlled program.
>>36513921
>>36513921
Do you follow Tee on instagram? He comes across really arrogant sometimes. Also it seems like all he does is max out all the time. He will yank his planned "opener" and it will be an absolute grinder. Strong dude for sure, but if he would stop yanking the bar before he actually pulls, which literally has no purpose aside from wasting energy, I'm sure he could become even better at deadlifting.
For those who don't know who I'm talking about:
>>36513745
>>36514035
woops meant to post link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aei527OunQ
>>36513996
Hm, alright thank you friend.
I'll probably shoot for doing something like 1x5, 2x3, 2x2, 1x3 progression on ID all the while doing some lighter weight variation (maybe SLDLs or something) on VD.
>>36514035
>current year
>not demonstrating your dominance over the weight before lifting it
>>36513987
larsen presses are good for power off the chest, as well as stability
>>36514035
I do. I keep it muted so I don't run the risk of getting annoyed
>>36513987
Spoto press is a ton of tut so it'll pack on mass
>>36514020
Did 5x8@245 Spoto today. Definitely getting stronger on Spoto
>>36514035
he posted on IG a couple hours ago pulling 650x4 but with completely different form
>>36514092
Yes I saw that, he said in the description that the gym staff told him to be quiet so I am going to assume for now that the only reason he isn't yanking is because of that.
He has some stuff of him pulling sumo where he doesn't yank the bar or anything. It's obvious he can do it without yanking, just not sure why he hasn't eliminated it yet at the elite level.
>>36514108
Back to /pol/ with you anti-Semitic bullshit faggot.

there will be fucking consequences elsewise
araynebow confirmed best ig follow
While we're hitching about strong people on instagram, this fucking guy. Every day he's got a post for the "haters", and there's a lot of "I am not food at using leg drive in my overhead or arching in bench so therefore I am better than the people outlifting me."
I mean I like obie, he seems like a really nice guy, but fuck he's so annoying.

>>36514156
For what senpai
>>36514183
Sounds good, but it's my first day back so I don't want to have crippling doms desu
>>36514191
WSM competitor, so there is some money involved. But he can't do anything that isn't overhead press so not too much money.
>>36514169
Why do all these strong 'masculine' men post like whiny women online?
>>36514082
What % of your 1RM do you recommend doing Spoto for? I'm gonna throw those in when I switch off of my current program since my worst part of the bench is getting it off my chest.
>>36514196

>>36514149

Doing OHP today my left trap seized up, not up by the neck but more on the back. It didn't hurt very bad it was more of just an extreme tightness.
I stopped my workout as I did not want to injure myself, but reflecting on what it might have been i realized my grip might have been too wide.
Has anyone experienced something similar with too wide of a grip?
How long should I wait to OHP again?

His rectum is broken btw, he has to dig out poop and he considered le suicide. His physical body is pretty much built to be a stud but mentalstate is the fault. Atleast he's not a virgin.
>>36514331
I assume he does it lightheartedly, just trying to drum up some interest, but he got BTFO when he ran his mouth about Hall, BTFO when he ran his mouth about Savatinov, and now he's running his mouth about Shaw. Maybe he should put more effort into training than social media.
Of course, Shaw got super butthurt lately over a joke Z made, so maybe they all just need to up their AI.

You're right though. I should be the bigger man regarding that
>>36514422
>>36514434
kelly starrett has a test for hip flexibility on atg
Today a family came into the gym to work out together with their thirteen year old, and he came up and asked to work in with me on legcurls.
I was just finishing up so I told him he could have it. Even adjusted it for his height.
His parents were very out of shape, so I hope that kid sticks with it.
Anyone strongman here?
I really want to get into it. Dat unparalleled grip strength. My gym has stones up to 405lb, a yoke, farmers handles, a log press, axle bar, and tires up to 900lb. Only problem is I don't really have anyone to coach me on the events and I don't want to fuck myself up
>>36514288
Flat sole is only better for wide stance sumo squat type of shit.
Lowbar with regular stance benefits from heels.
>>36514461
just looked it up
>tfw failed all 3 tests
lol
>>36514531
>a yoke
I am mega fucking jelly.
If my gym had a yoke, I would do it for cardio every single week.
>>36514531
It's my eventual goal.
Strongmanfag trips occasionally.
Does boardshorts have a big dick?
>>36514553

>>36514531
I've done a couple comps, have a third coming up in may (probably)
>>36514547
>I would do yoke every week
Said like someone who does not know the hell on earth that is a heavy yoke
>>36514565
Do you train with a team?
>>36514573
Not really. I have a couple of friends who I lift with sometimes if they happen to show up.
Maybe I'm lucky, but I haven't fucked myself up beyond minor strains. I think most events aren't quite as deadly as they look, especially with beginner weights.
>tfw made gym crush laugh today
>>36514565
>heavy
lol no
I'd be trying to do it for distance and time. I would like to train it for weight in the offseason, but this is neither here nor there, because the gym I train at won't even buckup for a new fucking barbell.

This is patently false.
1) girls laugh at any joke or whatever if they're attracted to you
2) girls don't delineate between physical and emotional attraction like men generally do. You can make yourself bf material if you have an attractive personality, unless you are physically very unattractive
>>36514637
>girls don't delineate between physical and emotional attraction like men generally do
It always makes me laugh when people make blanket statements like this, as if all women are exactly the fuckin same.
Anyway, can't stay to argue, I gotta get my eight.
>>36514637
the word delineate means to describe something precisely
>girls don't delineate between physical and emotional attraction
makes zero sense

Sorry.
Girls don't separate
>>36514658
I'm not saying they're all the same but you can't say there aren't trends between genders
Delusional powerlifters. Why even train? IPF doesn't care about how hard you train. All you need is a big deadlift. It's all about GENETICS, LEVERAGES and LONG ARMS.
>>36514707
who gives a fuck about the faggot ipf and their olympic dicksucking lol
>>36514605
Im imagining shes in a hot tub right now all alone and she grabs her shower head and switches it to jet. She closes her eyes and gets her mental catalogue of men shed want inside her. Shes out of ideas so she starts thinking of maybe someone she crossed paths with today. Out of nowhere i just crash into her thoughts, hes a funny guy, yeah.
>>36514711

Is this the special olympics?
>>36515015
Pretty much. BPU (garagebro 's fed)
This guy used to be ipf but then he switched. Wonder why.
just getting back into lifting after a 4 month break here I had no access to weights. My strength has gone down a lot, but I'm not too worried. I'm concerned with how strong I'll be 5 years from now, not next month.
I'm doing a basic upper/ lower split with four days per week. Outside of meet prep, any reason to not just go with a basic DUP style 'do what I want/some for a few' attitude? Using rpe isn't new to me, but I've never gone off the rails and not followed fairly specific programs.
Also, on off days. Any reason why I can't go push an empty bar around to get some blood flowing and practise technique a bit?
>>36515102
He got invited to kirills meet and got pats on the back from malan and misha
Plus i think he was ABPU at that push pull
I think like 10 people got banned from their respective feds for taking the piss out of him online, 4 in aus iirc
There will be a day with ipf memers and lol fedders can all get along. Except people who get caught cheating... fuck those guys.

>moving the bar 6 inches using only your lower back and calling it a deadlift
Come on senpai
>>36515877
Sumo shifts the stress away from the lower back - because of a more vertical torso, same reason why a front squat is easier on the lower back than a back squat.
>>36513962
Imho DB bench and more work with narrower grip.
>>36515959
He said not a stability problem so db bench isnt needed
I have a day where i only do close grip both slingshot and raw but im more of the opinon that triceps are the main mover in the bench
Grew myself a beard to go with my lycra tights, just need a hoody then I'm a proper powerlifter, right?
Should I buy Oly shoes, SBD sleeves and wrist wraps? i got like 400$ extra bucks but not sure if i should pull the trigger.

If DB bench allows him more ROM, it might help. Same with narrower grip benching (I think he already does CGBP?).
Tho admittedly research hasn't found evidence for larger ROM to give more gains for "trained" lifters, only for novices, the cut-off point is to the best of my knowledge not established.
I'll agree that they are one of the primary movers, but not -the- primary mover.
>>36516211
I'm leaning towards that...
What's the cons to touch and go other than less carry over to your max?
>you remain tight
>you control the descent
>you can lift more thus get stronger and bigger
>allows for more volume
>is arguably safer because you don't have to put a lot of force to get the bar off the ground each rep.
>>36516252
It's exhausting. At least for me.
Then again, I have no muscle endurance what so ever.
>>36516261
Interesting you say that. I find pausing more exhausting. I wonder why
Lads why are dumbbell rows such aids?
They give me the worst feeling ever after doing a set tbqh
Would not recommend/10
>>36516310
They give me amazing lat pump but doing them feels like cancer.
It's the worst undesirable feeling I think of.
>>36516321
This, I just get gassed af after a set because of having to do high reps with each arm seperately
Them SHW feels breh....
>>36514707
This, most good lifters just have long arms.
>>36515385
No.
>>36515870
Leoko is for poor europeans.
>>36515959
>Doing anything but comp bench or variations for bench
This man have long arms but is still a shit lifter, how is that even possible?
>>36516327
I haven't done them in ages and forgot about the worst part; having to do it again of the other arm.
Rows in general suck for me. I want to do seal rows but no equipment for them unfortunately.
I haven't found a single row I like.
>>36516310
Big weight plus double the reps. I get the same feel.
>>36516214
I mean, isn't it pretty well established that you can train highbar for a long time and you will almost definitely be stronger once you go back to comp style low bar?
>tfw you will NEVER be as tall and handsome as boardshorts
I hate being and ugly 5'6 manlet
>>36516252
specificity
Why are lunges such pain it's hell just thinking I have to lunge more
>>36516350
Ties in will lesser carry over. You can always train paused near comp, but when you're far away from comp it seems illogical.
>>36516310
i avoid anything unilateral because it always takes twice as long and sucks
>>36516361
>>36516339
>>36516336
Yeah I did them today for the first time in forever, did 75kg for 3x10, and holy fuck I could barely stand after one set because I was so gassed..
All I figured after this training session is to stop being a fatass and work on my work capacity through more BB work, and possibly "cardio"
>>36514357
here but realize that it would disappear immediately if you were to break up
>>36516379
Ew, cardio.
I hate cardio, the only thing I can stand is hill sprints.
>>36516344
Wouldn't that be because you've simply gotten stronger?
I also think it depends on the level of the lifter, in that it is more likely the case for intermediates than top level, because muh specificity. What do you think?
>>36516389
I prefer cardio over HIIT tbqh, but then again the only thing I'm thinking about doing for cardio is walking more, and possibly swimming if I can be bothered
What's the best way to come back from an injury and go about getting back to the weights you were lifting at before? Strained my SIJ about a month an a half ago so I wasn't able to deadlift or squat more than maybe 100 pounds during that time. I'm back to it now but my strength levels are way off, 300 for a grinder single where my max was 425 on deads, and 325 for a couple grinder singles where my max was 400 on squats. Should I just keep working out to a daily max sort of every time I lift until it's within range again then get back on the regular rep/set scheme, or just drop the weight a ton and keep in the same rep ranges as before?
>>36516400
Well yeah, but you also got stronger through a greater, but similar, range of motion.
>>36516406
i actively avoid looking at mirrors. its not because im fat or anything like dat
>>36516462
tbf you likely are.
>>36516379
>more BB work
Imo all you need is more relatively low intensity volume/reps on the core lifts.
>>36516466
>implying that's not what BB work is
>>36516464
But they don't know that. They're making assumptions they assume to be true based on something else.
>>36516464
Spotted the child. You live in a country with borders right? Wow that's fucking racist.
>>36515385
>>36515565
tBh I doubt lolfeds will survive long enough for that to ever happen
>>36516453
Wat
>>36516472
Eh, the people I know irl who support Trump are all the same one's who casually drop the word 'nigger' in conversation as long as the rest of the group is white. It's at least as fair as assuming a Sanders supporter is an unemployed college student.
>>36516505
prejudice people is childish and immature
>>36516501
He'd probably be a semi-effective moderate in office, but he just has 0 gravitas and he's totally about himself. Can you imagine him giving a speech after Sandy Hook?
Also, the way he's chosen to market himself is pretty despicable.
>>36516501
Leftist MISUNDERSTANGINDS more than propaganda. Peoples options are whatever popular Facebook groups, Twitter accounts e.t.c post
>>36516427
Deload week, then back to your program with realistic maxes.
>>36516440
I am agree.
Survey time:
would you punch Jackie Chan when he least expects it if that lets you win nationals? You don't get any stronger, you just win nationals.
>>36516501
A lot of people read what they want to hear into him because he says a lot of stuff some of which doesn't make much sense and some of which is contradictory. And it doesn't always match up with his policy proposals to they extent they exist.
Even on immigration it's not really clear whether he wants to reduce legal immigration levels.
>>36516501
Do you think "We're gonna bomb the shit out of 'em" constitutes a realistic defense policy?
>>36516546
No other candidate gets as much anti memes and 'funny videos' as he does. I'm just wondering where this shit is coming from.
>>36516531
But if it's him vs Hilary any reasonable person would still vote him, yes?
>>36516502
i say u fat fat boi
>>36516601
Depends on the context of where and when it's been said desu. If it's some le funny casual tv show it's no big deal.
>>36516606
I'd vote Hillary. I mean she's awful, but she'd probably be at least somewhat effective, and for me, the way Trump has run his campaign disqualifies him from holding office in a 'democratic' 'republic'.
>>36516606
I'd vote Hillary No question. But most people my age or on the Internet seem to hate her for some reason
>>36516625
>for some reason
>>36516625
>for some reason
>>36516638
Sure, she's a lying shill, but she's not the first and she won't be the last.
Benghazi is literally irrelevant.
>>36516638
>>36516643
desu it's way past anything rational for most of the people who hate her.
>>36516483
>lolfeds wont last
BPU is growing fast. And with the addition of the ABPU we are getting a lot more members either leaving the GBPF or competing in both. Having tested has been great for growth, having to put on more meets and some over 2 days
>>36516501
I think he's popular partly because of the way he speaks.
I can't remember the name of the stuff, but it's about keeping the intellectual level of your presentation close to the level of your listeners so they perceive you as intellectual. The listeners are limited by their intellect in recognizing "good" and "bad". If you speak way above their head, they'll perceive you as dumb, whereas a dumb person speaking just above their head will be seen as smart.
Also, he caters to their feelings pretty well, and his supporters have barely heard of anyone but him and Clinton.
>>36516649
Not even benghazi if you don't care about that.
Countless times she switches her views completely to reflect what's going to get her votes. It's like she's not a real person, all her emotions are bent on votes and popularity.
I just couldn't possibly vote for someone who constantly lies to bad. At least she Obama might have been lying, it wasn't obvious. But hillary has repeatedly been caught up in it.
Bernie supporters see this first hand since they are in competition with her, so I think they'll have a hard time turning around and voting for the person they just spent the whole primary destroying and exposing her huge Web of lies.
Saying this I'm not a fan of trump either since he really doesn't even have a platform or solid plan. I'll probably vote independent just to show my displeasure with them both.
>>36516684
Yeah, no, it won't be fun, but I'll probably end up voting for her. Fuck...
>>36516684
tBh i don't feel like I need a personal forceful leader and I'm happy to have a candidate who will continue to make policies that broadly reflect the center of the Democratic Party.
>>36516672
Tbh, from what limited amount of footage I've seen of him, I'd never consider him intellectual. He's loud and dominant and that's basically it. If anything, I'd consider him that 'nobullshit straight to the point guy, who's not necessarily super smart but gets shit done'.
Hilary just seems obnoxious (again, my knowledge of her is very limited) with some of the shit she manages to spill sometimes.
>>36516720
Why are we stuck with 2 parties. I dont like this.
What's it going to take for us to renovate our shit system?
Also I like social liberties and safety net stuff but we really need to get our finances in gear. Would be better to get a fiscally conservative president in there for a bit and fix stuff, then we can shove an sjw back in and make some more progress in that direction. It's all about balance. Not taking too much too quick.
