eww guys that bang
that high quality
this is 2 much
Just tested my C&J max for the first time. I got 69 kg, but missed the catch on 70. I know it's not a lot but I'm happy as fuck about it. First time with blue plates on the bar too.
i gained like 2 kg in a week, have i been eating too much?
>>36646348
One measurement or is it consistent? A 2 kg weight gain could be water weight from a particulaly salty meal or it could be 2000 kcal over maintenance every day.
>>36646385
1 measurement, it was a week ago, but im still at the same weight
>>36646439
Weigh yourself again in the morning. Hell, weigh yourself every morning, preferably before breakfast but after you take your morning dump. Weight is inconsistent enough that weighing once a week at any random time doesn't tell you anything.
>>36645553
Are they available in europe ?
>>36646306
noice, lookin crisp
>>36645553
>>36646565
These and Antas are officially the new foot fedora, you're as bad as the faggots who wear the China or Columbia singlets.
Unless he bombs out himself or Nurudinov puts up like 200kg Snatch with 240kg C&J is it even possible for Ilya to lose?
qualified myself for u23 british championships on saturday
feelang gud
>>36646797
>is it possible for ilya to lose without losing?
>>36646797
ilya gonna go 195/250 i think
>>36647107
>ilya still not snatching 200
Would be disappointing.
Pretty curious to see what he's gonna attempt in the comp. I wonder how he's been focusing his training recently.
>>36647253
fuck off
>>36647253
its possible he snatches 200 but i doubt it somehow
then again its ilya
>>36647292
I know it's hard being new on 4chan and having to deal with people you don't like being around the same spaces (no autismo young adult should have to endure that!)
But don't worry, 4chan allows you to use the filter feature to filter out the people you don't like!
You will never have to worry about your safespace being invaded ever again.
Let me teach you how to do it:
>click on settings at the bottom of the page
>Filters & Post hiding
>Filter & Highlight specific threads & posts
>click on edit
>click on add
>add the tripcode
>check the "hide" box
Done!
Now you don't have to suffer the embarrassment of being taught how to trip by someone you dislike ever again!
>>36647398
how does it feel to be mentally ill
>>36646772
Literally just keeping the thread from dying. Calm down.
>>36647100
You know what I mean
>>36647107
>>36647253
He did 196 off the floor when he was 94 (off-season so probably like 103kg) and 205 from blocks; but I think it's just strategy not to waste effort on the Snatch when the C&J is where he wins.
His fiercest competitors have only put up what 191-193kg Snatches? And they're 6kg behind the C&J which he could probably beat yet again...
I think he'll do 192-195 Snatch then as much Clean and Jerk as it takes to win.
If victory is assured by the third attempt he'll reveal his power level and do like 252kg
how detreimental is sex to gains, say if i fuck my gf like 3x per day most days of the week
>>36647447
you're fine
>>36647443
yeah sounds reasonable to me
i hope we get to see a huge hero lift 3rd attempt
>>36647478
With how easy 246kg looked I think low 250s is definitely doable. But who knows maybe he'll fucking crash out and be the biggest disappointment in the sport's history
>>36647398
nigger
>>36646345
How long have you been training and bodyweight?
>>36647060
Fellow Brit here looking to compete eventually, what was your comp like?
>>36648192
Local open competitions depend a bit which region of the UK you're in. Where you from?
>>36648255
North west
Are there more comps than are listed on the BWL website?
>>36648307
Northern Weightlifting are pretty good. Organised about stuff but i don't know how many open comps they run.
NWL website: http://www.northernweightlifting.com/
Central Weightlifting (Midlands) is where I am. They are waaaaaaaay more disorganised but run open comps every 2 months and there's always beginners. Kind of a pros and cons thing really.
Try and compete as much as you can in my opinion. What are your best lifts and bodyweight?
Just finished smolov base cycle for the 3rd time AMA
>>36647404
How does it feel to be a fucking imbecile
>>36647447
i fuck my gf 4x per day and i see no difference
B^)
i did cj first today
rack jerks are in my future
If i want to do some really heavy pulls should i just do Clean-deadlifts instead of deadliftS?
>>36648672
Also c an my feet be in the same place when i snatch as when i clean?
>>36648672
>>36648686
yes and yes
How do i make Planks more difficult? Also how offten do you gents do core work?
I do the following 1x a week
side bends
side planks
planks
weighted reverse hypers
dragon flags
weighted leg raises
>powerlifting is in the paralympics
>weightlifting is not
>weightlifting is in the olympics
>powerlifting is not
is powerlifting confirmed to be only for retards?
>>36648848
no but you are confirmed retarded
>>36648840
tense ur glutes
cave ur chest in
tense ur abs
u should be able to make planks p difficult without adding weight
core work every session or something like that
>>36648848
paralympic pl is for physically disabled
ipf pl is for mentally disabled :^)
>>36648672
what does clean deadlift mean? not clean pulls is it?
>>36648840
add weight homo
weighted decline situps 4 lyfe
>>36648877
clean deadlift is a deadlift but you have to hit the positions of the first pull of the clean
like a clean pull without the extension at the top
>>36648930
oh i see
why not extend at the top?
ive done it with weights near my max deadlift
makes traps nice n sore feelsgoodman
is it just too tiring?
>>36648989
similar benefits to normal deadlift (strong back) but you are still reinforcing the right motor patterns for the clean
they can get tiring if you do them too much. maybe do them once a week if your back isnt strong enough
>>36648989
you're free to extend at at the top, then it's a just a clean pull. if you don't or it's too heavy, it's a deadlift/clean deadlift
>>36649010
>>36649011
so it barely matters if its just for strength?
>>36649046
you can do clean deadlifts way heavier than good form clean pulls
different things for different goals
cl deads for strength focus
cl pulls for technique focus
>>36649046
it depends on the context of the programming, they're different exercises.
It might be more of a strength emphasis cycle, with heavy, slow pulls that build strength, or the pulls could be light and fast with a higher shrug, snatch high pulls, etc.
>>36647518
and maybe you suck dick
how old are you guys i fell like me beeing 25 is too late
>>36649513
too late for what exactly? The olympics?
>>36649528
too late to be any good in the sport
>>36649558
Why would you want to be good? For nationals?
>>36647398
I dream of the day you are hit a bit too hard from your dad and you get a fucking brain aneurysm kill yourself
>>36649565
even regional 10th place would be fine
>>36649673
Well if you want to do it, do it. See where it takes you.
>>36649690
i feel like i kinda have opportunity cuz the gym i was training in changed the coach and the one we have right now trained world champion
but he comes only 2 times a week
>>36649718
Well what are you waiting for?
Thoughts on Camargo oly, is he the best American Coach? Where can i get more of his videos?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fck5s2GKokc

Snausages noooooo
158 pulls with shitty technique. tear into me. I'm getting minimal coaching rn and i have a hernia or something over my pubic bone so no snatch work
>>36650608
https://www.instagram.com/p/BDzWVN3m1oJ/?taken-by=japadu
do u guys think its possiblee?
training was going well but my back problem finally caught up with me, had minor back pain from a tight piriformis (I think) but it went full blown today, couldn't even finish my workout
I spent a weekend lying in bed sick like 2 months ago and it's really coming back to haunt me. Anyone else have experience with this
>>36650355
>walks past big fluffy qt dogger twice
>doesn't give him a cheeky belly rub or a head scratch even once
i knew you were a shitcunt durkz but i didn't know you were that much of a shitcunt
>>36650885
I have the flu and haven't been able to even stretch properly for 4 days. Naturally limber, though, so I'm not too worried about it.
Maybe just give the dice another roll. Hope the Hindus were right.
>>36651357
my flexibility's ok, and this is the first injury type deal I've had in months now, which makes me think I'm pretty much over my knee issues provided I do the proper prehab. Coming along nicely (though still haven't PR'd on the classics in like 9 months)
>>36651500
whats your top stretches for your back and hamstrings? my back has ben feeling stiffer lately.
>>36651619
depends on part of the back, lower back tightness usually improves by stretching glutes/piriformis
upper back tightness really gets better with pic related
>>36651619
This one is my favourite for the hamstrings:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE7nALXgXz0
Also, https://www.youtube.com/user/JDCav24/search?query=stretch
>>36649513
if your serious about it start right now. you can still make a run if you are serious. you wont regret it when your 70 rocking on your front porch telling your grandkids stories of your youth.
>>36651638
its kinda in my mid left side, but thanks trying that stretch as we speak.
>>36651676
>>36651676
i hardly watch his videos but ill check some of his stuff out. thanks.

>>36651761
who the fuck are you
>>36652457
the guy who is gona sell out MSG and The MGM. who the fuck are you?
klok has a pretty narrow clean grip, get rekt delispuge
also fucking hell the number of people at my gym trying to jerk or push press with the bar on front delts instead of in rack position is nuts, no wonder they have trouble
>>36652631
I once smashed the bar on my chin when jerking
>>36648338
Not much, I've only been getting coaching twice a week for three weeks now.
I can clean 70 and could probably jerk it if not fatigued, start snatches today.
alright let slow down here...
first off fuck you to the trips,
now second fuck off to trappy chan,
because trappy chan joins every fucking thread learns and tries to impress others tell the mental illness gets bored and moves on
thx
>>36652556
>the guy who is gona sell out MSG and The MGM
Get out of here, Seth Rollins, and take your CrossFit hogshit with you.
>>36648338
Where do you train? Central regions here too.
I've done one comp with an embarrassing total, still didn't come last, can't comment on organisation but the fact there's lots of comps + lots of noobs like me its reasurring
Hoping to actually snatch bodyweight at next comp lol
>>36647253
Ilya doesn't need to snatch 200
Just look at him, literally made to clean and jerk
>>36645192
finally got 4 pl8s squat saturday, now i have inflamed sciatica and i cant train.
fuck
>>36653964
>Just look at him, literally made to clean and jerk
every fucking time
>>36653979
loli gives you unimaginable power
>>36654030
get the fuck out faggot. i have a gf i dont need to fap on drawn children
Just signed up for a technique course over the weekend at my uni gym. It's mainly crossfit but they'll also teach the two Olympic lifts. What should I worry about/prepare for?
>>36653979
snapcity tickets ar rdy
>>36654134
sure sure, keep telling yourself that
>>36654141
Do you have any oly experience?
>>36654311
I can power clean 50 kilos for reps.
>>36653990
U implying he's not?
Lol
>>36654316
Well don't expect to be going in and putting up huge PR's.
Depending on how long it lasts you'll most likely be doing bar work. Not much to worry about with that, you certainly aren't going to cripple yourself.
Saving this thread also no oly lifting this week cuz assignment n shiet
85% week this week
Is a % I'm starting to feel good about, weight feels easy enough but it needs to be decent cos I can't just save everything
Next week goes up to 100%, exciting times.
Oly gym is closing at the end of may:(
Legit super sad. I've only been doing this for 6 months but I've been really enjoying it and made some friends as well. Now I have to look for a new place :/
>>36656460
ill be moving this summer as well so i might not have gym for awhile
>>36653824
Uni of Birmingham
Yeah go to as many as you can. Competition experience is really useful
>>36656544
Did you host that comp on sat? I didn't go, had to work.
I just train in a local gym that has bumpers but try to get to Atlas once a week and made alot of improvements since I started doing that
>>36652631
Klok also pulls with uneven feet
>>36656623
Hosted at a gym nearby, we train there sometimes.
It was pretty disorganised desu. If you see any at Warley WL Club (Harry Mitchell Leisure Centre) go to those. They're always good. Warley probably best WL club in Birmingham
>>36656783
i never wrote "desu" wtf
i said desu
>>36656783
>>36656805
fuck this gay website
>>36656485
did u manually gather that info?
>>36656485
Who is this guy and why u compile this
That's some pretty rapid progression early on
>>36656923
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zo3msdko5mo4cc0/Others%20Progression.xlsx?dl=0
yea it took a long time
i hyperlinked most of adam's numbers
>>36656964
i saw him in an article by first pull and i liked his progression
>>36657019
The jump in clean and jerk early on is big, wonder if it's more a case of low balling his first comp
>>36656828
kek
>>36657019
speaking of first pull
http://firstpull.net/2015/03/10/i-dont-teach-the-double-knee-bend/
i remember the prof ahn telling me they dont teach the double knee bend as well, in fact they dont even talk about it to the beginners
>>36657732
R u saying this random Canada cuck is better than American coaches because he agrees with what ur coaches told u
>>36657844
>>36658055
as with most people who browsed fit for a long time
im no longer here to get or spread knowledge
im now here for the dankest, fresh off the press, zesty memes
peek relented
Is 5'13" too tall for 85s?
>>36658219
its even too tall for 105s
>>36658271
>>36658314
judging by the average I meant
outliers exist everywhere, despite his height he still had godlike genetics, what about you anon?
>>36658444
but what if deliugee coaches me
>>36658219
I'm 6'1 and weigh 80kg
But then again I fucking suck
Is it alright for the bar to contact just above the junk in the snatch? I can't get my grip wide enough to avoid contact with my pubic bone with loose arms.
If my knees feel tight (not when lifting, just the rest of the day) is my best bet foam rolling quads?
>>36658524
then you'll become nat. champ in china
>>36659314
might wanna check your diet too, glucosamine/vitamins/oils etc
>>36659336
It's not an every day thing, mainly today. I set a squat PR which probably is part of the cause. I ran out of cod liver oil recently though, maybe I should get some more.
>>36659361
hydration and electrolytes might do it too, if the muscles are a bit tight
>>36654134
>dont need to
i'll believe it when i see it
also btw i'm going to compete on saturday to try and make some cash. Casual comp i think
>>36656681
rekt
>>36656783
it's only polite desu
>>36659755
Wtf do even small comps in America have cash prizes?
>>36659768
what's always polite?
>>36659768
>>36659797
*only polite
https://www.instagram.com/p/BD1L3Z4CksC
dont watch guys its boring
>>36659775
why doesnt uk do this
charge everyone to enter, give winner some 10p yellow plastic and remaining money after paying for venue/whatever
>>36659825
Pas, my hand is all fucked up from using a bar with no knurling it constantly hurts now. It's making my elbow and shoulder hurt too somehow. So I've used straps off blocks for snatch, is it OK, even if I'm a shit weak faggot
>>36659775
seems like it. only reason i compete da
>>36659797
to say desu desu
>>36659836
I paid 15quid for the honour of coming second last haha
My buddy got a medal in 85s with 140total cos only 3 enetered... Maybe that's why they don't give out cash
>>36659843
most people use straps for block work lol
>>36659873
still tho, it might encourage more people to compete and help improve wl in the uk
it might encourage me to compete anyway
>>36659825
BWL is shit Pas. Have you seen the petition going around? They're somehow £56000 in debt
>>36659896
no lol
i did hear a while ago about them being in debt tho
idgi are they really corrupt or something, charging £40 a year for membership and still this lol
>>36645192
The Dropbox link in every one of these threads 404s
>>36659925
No clue why they're in so much debt.
Central Weightlifting is sat on a load of money and they're doing nothing with it. The whole thing is a bit of a shit show...
It's all mismanaged even when it comes to non-money matters. The concept of having that little blue book is pointless, just put our results online so we can access them from our profiles.
They only have 7 full time employees so that can't really help
>>36659891
True. I think the big problem is it's so expensive to run a meet don't u need bwl licenses and shit?
Pas just go Germany and join bundesliga team apparently you get paid per kilo
>>36659896
>>36659949
Which petition is this?
I've seen one on the wall at gym but only a few signed it due to some of the lifters who have a chance making nationals/English team/GB team worried bwl might penalise them somehow
>>36660066
There were about 5 separate points.... cant remember all of them.
There was stuff about coaches having to re-take their level 2 qualifications to coach in a warm up room (which is stupid because most of the coaches have been doing fine for years and level 2 doesnt even help with warm up room stuff, they just want money off every coach)
There was stuff about BWL Loughborough team and the Golden Girls getting special treatment, not having to pay entry fees and stuff
>>36658219
I'm the same height and people at my gym said I should be around 100
>>36660133
Yep same one
I've only been lifting a short time but it seems really unfair that bwl have a gym where they pay their athletes fees with the membership fees of their rivals
Also the level 2 thing sucks and will effect many many noobs like me.
Also, the bloke who wrote the syllabus for the coaching courses is basically being told if he doesn't take his own qualification again he can't coach at comps. Pretty ridiculous.
>>36660252
Yeah it's all ridiculous. Glad someone caught it and wrote a petition.
Annoying that it's like this way though, because I'd still rather one weightlifting federation in this country than someone starting another one like Jon North's AWF.
We'll see though, just gotta keep getting strong
WHY HASN'T YASHA POSTED HIS SUPER SECRET RUSSIAN WEIGHTLIFTING PROGRAMS YET ПPOКЛЯTЬE
Anyone know where I can cop some Class 2 training templates?

how much are the licenses?
If he wins at Rio will Ilya be remembered as a great?
>>36660729
he already is
>>36660688
Which licenses do you mean?
>>36660771
If Ilya's so great why isn't he anywhere near Zakharaevich's totals?
>>36661001
Much stricter doping controls...are you asking a serious question?
>>36658524
But I don't
All my athletes are manlets

Why does everyone get so butt hurt by this trip? He's no worse than any others, and significantly better than most- contributes advice through that routine general and clearly actually likes lifting, the amount of time he's spent writing about it on here.
If you don't like him because he's a trap- we're on 4chan for fucks sake. He's clearly not an SJW so I don't see the need for fuss. That sol invictus faggot is a billion times worse and everyone ignores him
>>36661511
i do it ironically :3
>>36660508
he's traveling with polovnikov again i think fucking wl bitches and getting paid to do nothing
>>36661511
>actually likes lifting
wrong, he likes attention on this board, if he liked lifting so much he would know something rather than posting links and shit like all them good advice you think you get here
i know i did the same shit when i was new linking people to shit they can easily google but are too retarded to do so
and then they thank me and i feel validated wow im so good i helped these fucking retards even tho i dont lift yet, now i lift and fuck all u retards in the ass
haha
>>36661511
People are just autismo. Case in point >>36661731
>>36661731
I'm admittedly no expert but the advice that I have seen looks alright to me. Plus linking to authoritative sources makes sense: if he didn't link to any source we would all be demanding a source. I dunno, it feels refreshing after all the "SS is a meme is a meme" and feels threads to have something that is actually about weightlifting. Same reason I like lurking oly generals even if I never contribute: it's the actual discussion of my hobby and trappy contributes something to that.
>>36661853
Trappy should stay to her own routine thread for general trainees, it's the fa t she offers opinion on competive sport that irks me. She's admitted herself she never wants to compete, she doesn't even hookgrip ffs
Also, the other thread revealed how she claimed she 'trained competitive lifters' but when called out on it she admitted she didn't coach olympic lifters... In the context of this thread she'd made it sound like she did to appear as authority... Just snacks of attention seeking (oh, that and she trips)
>>36661853
>I'm admittedly no expert
so shut the fuck up
>>36661945
>she doesn't even hookgrip ffs
Oh no!! It's absolutely fucking nothing!
>In the context of this thread she'd made it sound like she did to appear as authority
People asked her. she wasn't appealing to authority.
>>36662033
shut the fuck up trap, everyone knows its u lmao
>>36662033
No, she offered it unsolicited to back up her 'knowledge'
Look, I don't hate trappy. But people.like you who follow her around just to whiteknight are just as bad as the ones who follow her around and give hate
>>36662290
No, she didn't.
>>36662331
Yes she did. Noone asked her to lie about who she coached.
Anyway, she's not gonna fuck you with her limp penis just cos you're whiteknighting her you little beta bitch ;^)
>>36662355
No she didn't.
Just because you say something happen doesn't mean it happened.
I was in the thread and I saw what happened. Nothing but /owg/ being autistic fucks as always.
>>36661318
do you even read eromanga trappy
>>36662460
well duh
you gotta be autistic to be into lifting
more autistic to be into lifting for strength
even more autistic to be into strength for sport
basically we're the most autistic of the autists
>>36662486
>we
Don't lump me in with u disugstignsutist
>>36662502
better?
>>36662355
>Yes she did
>she
>trappy
choose one
this pic reminds me of jewisar
i bet he would force feed kitties like the sick freak he is
I think my back is getting better, took some ibuprofen yesterday and lay on a lacrosse ball mashing into my upper butt for like 10 minutes last night and it seemed to really help. This is kind of similar to a deep tissue massage right?
time 4 upper hypertrophy
bench, lat pulldowns, rows, and ohp today
rest tomorrow
dips, chins, klok press and maybe some curls the day after
engage in amateur blobbybuilding competition on friday because I'm now 85kg and still with same numbers as when I was 80 ._.

>>36664133
i'm saving on pixels because i want to be a cheap jew like you :3
>>36663863
or maybe I should lift tomorrow too
what a conundrum
>>36665657
If there was a /aestheticdespitebreakingeverythinginmybody category you would win first place for sure
>>36665948
I hear it's a new category at the next IFBB
>>36665957
Or you could win the fattest cawk category
strayans need to post faster so i can get my devilish get

Had my first snatch session yesterday with a coach and it went pretty good.
Went to record myself today to compare how awesome I was compared to pre-coach and it was an absolute shit show. Forgot everything I learned yesterday.

Its enough.
You realize this shit will take time? Even 10th at regionals is pretty strong. You've got a few years of hard work ahead of you.
Or you could just snatch 40 kg and upload that to ig and fb. That takes about a day.
>>36652631
Wait you don't rest bar on delts to Jerk? Or you mean the elbow height?
summoning comi
>>36649513

I'm 5'8.6" ish, what should be my weight class?
Yes, I am a manlet. May the gains be with you.
>>36670847
Is that somehow iNcontroL walking around in the background in the second clip?
>>36659949
Any of you fellow britfags still around?
My club is thinking of sending me away to do the lvl1 coaching course with BWL because they want to start offering some degree of Weightlifting alongside powerlifting at the start of the new academic year.
Is it worth it?

ilya is close and weighs 5kg less
>>36672099
yh go on m8
Just tested my 1RMs pre-meet. 64/69 kg at 80 kg BW. Is that kind of imbalance normal in novices? Failed by missing the catch on the C&J and by touching the ground with my knee on the snatch.
>>36672239
grill?
>>36672239
>touching ground with knee
Damn son
>>36672286
Somehow my left foot landed a bit back. Re-did the lift but it happened again. Got up though.
>>36672286
>>36672307
Is it very dangerous?
>>36672268
Boi, just very new to this. Been lifting for just over 3 months.
>>36672195
is it difficult or is it a pisstake like what I've heard the powerlifting feds is?
>>36670391
you're supposed to keep your elbows up enough for it to rest across your delts while resting against the clavicle/neck. shouldn't be solely resting on your clavicle
Hey guys when I do power snatches or power cleans I catch them really wide or catch them like a full snatch or clean. How do I catch above parallel?
>>36648532
Commie how do I make fast gains like you srs
Do you max out on back squats or front squats?
>>36673287
I do both bs and fs. if i'm squatting first i tend to do front squat and if i'm squatting after classics i tend to back squat.
just do bulgarian method
watch all them vids
Recently i've watched the max aita: a squatting life a few times. i like it. I've tried out squatting twice in one session and could handle it so i'm considering doing two squats in the afternoon as part of my normal routine.
>ywn hang with ilya

>>36673506
I felt that feel pretty hard watching that desu senpai
Also did you think he looked weak? He was struggling on the Snatch portion a little
>>36662290
>he doesn't agree with me
>therefore he must be whiteknighting
oh fuck off nigger
>>36673626
he always seems to look weak between competitions, then releases some ridiculous clip (290kg front squat, 250kg jerk, shit like that)
hopefully we'll see the big friday in part 3 and get an idea of how he's doing
>>36673626
>Also did you think he looked weak?
this was a morning session and he barely warmed up for the snatches, just took 70 after front squatting then did a couple sets at 140
mornings are usually just warm ups for evening sessions, that's why it might look sluggish, he probably did that workout in an hour
Settling this once and for all

what shoes to buy? i cant find anything except those reebok lifter shoes, i might be able to find other shoes though
>>36672425
It's not great
If it happens alot it's bad anyway cos it's a missed lift
>>36672994
It shouldn't be on delts. It should be in the groove behind delts, touching clavicle but yea, not resting on it
Elbows should be down and spread, not up. Delts aren't raised by elbows up.
>>36674138
nike romaleos or adidas adipowers are top tier
otherwise get adidas power perfect 2 if money is tight
>>36673228
Pls
>>36673228
>How do I catch above parallel?
>>36674412
by stopping it above parallel
fucking idiot

>>36674535

>>36674602
Atleast i fucking highbar squat, fuck off.
>>36647398
trappy is the pussyy man, man!
>>36674607
wow u squat, big fucking deal this is owg no one cares about your fatass squatting shitty weight
>>36674535
It blows my mind that someone can have enough discipline to put in the work needed to squat 4 plate, but not enough to avoid looking like utter shit.
>>36674627
show us your extremely good heavy squat then
>>36674629
i put in 1.5 years of work, not much to be honest.
They're 3 25s and 1 20 on each side btw.
>>36674629
>discipline to put in the work
srs? if you're a fucking fatass you'll squat heavy with minimal work involved, look at fatlifts, he squatted 5 plates within months of lifting due to being exteremely obese
