deadlifts up to about 85%, front squats and whatever else I feel like t-b-h.
>>36881711
Deficit deads and some heavy block pulls today here.
How long does muscle take to grow? I want big arms now.
>>36881746
too long
just give up
>>36881768
How long. I've been lifting 1 year and never curled once...
I tried curling the other week and could only do 12kg for 12 reps.
I squat 160kg....

245x3x5 bench, 295x5 squat, 375x5 sumo deadlift. Hoping to nail the first two at the very least
fuuuuuuuck the ipf
just did my first meet(>inb4 friday """meet""")
and i fucking bombed out
usapl didnt let me use my smelling salts so i missed all my deadlift attemps
>>36881711
Squats maybe
Bench obviosuly
Deadlifts maybe
Squats and deads depends on if my stomach feels allright. Probably going to work up to a heavy single and do 3-4 back-off sets in all lifts
>>36881891
thats what they want you to believe
can you cancel your gym membership?
thats top priority at the minute Tbh
>>36881919

Deficit Deads(w/ 15kg chains) ~67,5%x4x4
Might up the weight depending on how the second set feels.
>>36881951
You're only doing 4 sets of deads?
>>36881919
If you need smelling salts to get your opener ur an idiot
>>36881919
>smelling salts
they are only placebos at best anyway
what were you thinking opening with a deadlift you could only hit with smelling salts, its a fucking opener lad wtf, youve only yourself to blame
and you can use them in the back in my experience, not that i use them
i hope you tell me you were memeing
>oh now ive noticed you said first meet, lol literally wtf, who bombs their first meet
>>36881711
Upper, but it's a deload week, so I'm gonna just fuck around and do some high-rep stuff.
>>36881711
>ipf single ply bench
Feels comfy to be in real plg
>>36881919
>Set opener too high
>Blame it on the fed
Massthetics lil sis pls go
>>36881978
Why would I do more?
>>36881919
Hahahahahaha hahaha fucking hell Yes you stupid prick
One you are allowed to use them as long as you're not in view of the audience
Two you fucked up your first meet by putting your deadlift opener so high ON YOUR FIRST MEET.
Problem is with you, for not reading the rules of the competition you were about to do and for being an idiot.

Uh, wut? They're totally allowed
Holy shit lads check the news

Ohh. I'm part of the homegym mustard race, so it's not really that much of a hassle.

Yes and he's a cunt for three duck out spotter injury attempts.
>>36882141
I love you. Gone but not forgetten, hey?
i have just attended a meet, which went great, and i need a new off-season program - i would like to get stronger, and bigger.
Any good suggestions for a late intermediate powerlifting/strongman competitor?
>>36882192
remember when he started ohping the bar to try and intimidate the warm up room only to bomb
my sides
>>36882190
God damn it, not again
>>36881853
i'll keep that in mind
I'm going to be in Vietnam soon though
night night, don't let the cardio bugs bite
>>36882261
I loved that he fucked himself up by reracking a squat wrong only a few weeks after he dumped the bar on the spotters three times. That's karma for you
>>36882323
Is he still alive and lifting?
>>36881711
Sumo ( ._.) I'm so shit at it. Might do semi sumo.
>>36882218
when are you unbanned
>>36882342
Dunno, I don't follow him. I just heard about it on here
Powerlifting is actually really gay. I need an excuse not to do OHP though.
Help
>>36882430
Why do you need an excuse not to ohp though. Are you retarded by any chance?
>>36882445
Because OHP is as gay as powerlifting
>>36881711
Rest day today, dynamic deads and squats tomorrow
>tfw can't tell if I'm hyperlordotic or my ass is just big
I swear I arch my back when I relax though

>>36882535
Calm down little man. Yelling at me won't make you grow taller.
>>36882495
Because I have very little self control and food is delicious
>>36882365
Me? I'm not banned.
Isley finishes his ban on May 5th tho.
He's going to be all like
>heard you were talking shit about the ipf like I wouldn't find out
Squats were mostly not good today. Top 2 sets were meant to be either 1 or 2 reps. Hoped I'd be able to get 2 on both but it definitely wasn't happening. Form on rep 2 of the first set was lol anyway. I'm hoping it's accumulated fatigue and by the time I've dropped it all off next week I'll be stronger. Today was oddly a bit encouraging though that I didn't fail anything because I thought I might. Bench felt slow but looked fine.

>>36882490
Isle5 is permantly banned as per rule #9
I'm gonna ask here because hopefully I'll get more/better replies
I'm doing starting strength. Let's say I'm halfway through a set of squats, I fail. What do I do on that day? Do I lower the weight to last sessions weight?
>seens face when plg overlord comes back may 5th
>>36882573
>>36882584
>>36882600
Islet may well be but Isley isn't.
Besides, calling him weasley would get your meme across better.
>>36882615
You do all 3 sets, ignore the failed reps. You come in and try it again 3 more times. (3 more sessions) then you take a 20% deload.
I THINK IIRC.
Run Greg nuckols programs lad
>>36882615
>I'm doing starting strength
stopped there Tbh
>>36882615
Don't decrease weight yet, no. If you don't meet reps, just stay at the same weight. If you get less than... I think it was 12 reps, or if you can't make reps for three sessions in a row, then deload 10% on the next workout.
>>36882622
What was the story with this? I haven't seen the origin.
>>36882622
>You do all 3 sets, ignore the failed reps
If I fail on the second set do I just stop the set., rest, and try do one more set? Won't I just either fail or have lose form?
>>36882655
Won't I just either fail again or lose form?*
>>36882655
I can't remember the exact instructions. ofc you'll fail the next set but 2 reps are literally better than 0

>>36882849
squats just about the same, my hip has been acting up so unless it's feeling good (about 1% chance, yesterday I just did up to 225 for a triple and I had about 4/10 pain), I'll just try to get 530 or so again. on skills test it went meh, so maybe like 5-10lb PR if my hip hold up, but I really doubt there is much above 530 there.
bench I barely missed 325 on skills test, so I just wanna get that
deadlift I really have no idea. I pulled 535 on a bendaroo bar on skills test day and almost got 545, but I'm gonna try doing everything tomorrow on a stiff bar, so I really don't know.

>clarence c&j more at 15 than you can now
Perfect example of genetics right there.
>>36883265
how hard do you think he tries you mong
>>36882255
High freq, medium intensity. Squat and push heavy one day, easyish pulls, pressing and a squat variant the next.
>>36883199
If you aren't using a titan lever belt, SBD knee sleeves, SBD singlet and power perfect 2 shoes, you're literally a nobody in powerlifting, guaranteed.
>>36881919
never needed them meself. I just slap my face a couple of times, think of the childhood bullies and set records. not hard m8.
>>36883276
I actually have power perfect 2s, so yeah buddy. . I know you are joshing though.
So who here just thinks of the nerds they bullied as a kid to get hyped up pre lift? I just imagine slapping their face a couple of times, kek.
starting symptoms of rotator cuff tendonitis lads
>>36883391
>rotator cuff tendonitis
your rotator cuff is cartilage and ligaments lad, you cant get tendinitis without tendons
>>36883391
switch to high bar and ohp for a week or two and do prehab stuff
>>36883391
I do some band external rotations and rear delt flyes throughout the day and in a few days it goes away.
How can I combat internal shoulder rotation? When at rest by my side, my hands are nearly completely pronated.
>>36883425
except for the highbar squats that's horrible advice, which could quickly make things worse
Mike T having a family emergency senpai...
Anyone else sometimes run into some shoulder problems in every day life, like some kind of weird movement etc?
My shoulder feel absolutely fine while benching and in training over all, I always do a lot of external rotation on every seession.
But in every day life, there sometimes are movements where I get a short pain and it kind of feels bad.
>>36883416
is this bait?
>>36883425
already do high bar. pretty sure the problem comes from a month of volume benching
>>36883461
Will do
does anyone have the chart of height vs weight class for different levels of competitiveness saved? I thought I did but I apparently don't
>>36883463
Face pulls, band pull aparts, rear delt flies, band external rotations, ease up a bit on the internal rotation movements (this one is optional and completely up to your discretion)
>>36883535
It's literally 5'9 for every height.

No, if you had any potential to be a decent sprinter you would also be good at PL, which you aren't
Think I'm gonna permanently change my bench grip so middle finger is on rings. Everytime I sleep on my right shoulder it hurts lifting in, benching works fine but not max grip
today is my off day
did 275x3 for squat yesterday that was nice. glad i switched to lowbar
also got my bench up to 170 for 5 reps, and deadlift is up to 355 1rm which im happy with.
that might not be big for you guys but im coming back from a year off cause of unrelated injuries so its a pretty good step for me.
all I want is that 1/2/3/4 by the end of summer. pray for my gainz brahs.
Got hooked up with coffee this morning, lel.
Going to train at that crossfit gym today lads. Light lower day but those whippy barbells are scary. Good thing it's not heavy today

Squat and bench with some chain bench at the end, felt comfy
>>36883741
not sure if it even increased my ROM since it allowed to me touch higher up on my arch
this is how I imagined my 1pl8 singles looked

>>36883525
>is this bait?
He is kind of right now - it's not the muscle of the rotator cuff that are causing the problem, it's the shoulder head that gets driven upwards into all kind of impingments.
Which wouldn't happen if the rotator cuff was strong enough, yea.
>>36883659
Your point being?
>>36883767
Exactly the same.
My knees hurt.
I don't get this lift.
managed to squat pretty easily without mirror today

Hey guys,
What is the cheapest belt I can buy / use until I can afford a real one?
I have a max width max thickness best belt and I like it but it is too wide for me to use on squats; it gives me buttwink in the hole and fucks with my bottom position.
Are there any belts that are worth buying in the meantime? Like a cheap Velcro one?
>>36884008
damn, you must be tired after all the swimming you have been doing. stay safe friend
>>36884035
Just train beltless squats lad
>>36884035
Are you sure it's the belt that's causing problems?
>>36884112
Pretty sure. I can feel it--I think restricting ability to sit back?--when I use it and don't get that feelin on belt less squats
is there an excel sheet of project momentum 2016?
i have the write up, but would have been nice to have it on excel
>>36884008

If we are honest, they do add a few kilo, maybe 3-4.
I mean, just sit down when you have them on, you can feel that there is some kind of resistance.
And I bet these are at least a few kilos.

I've been lifting for 2 years and only do weighted pullups for bicep work. My arms are 16" at 5'11" 185. Take that for what you will.
What if the mods had kept their promise? Wouldn't that be nice?
>>36884580
>>36884585
Lol
>>36883639
You just need to put on more muscle. Of course that will take time. No reason if you are 6 1 or 2 not to be at least 240 with more mass. at that point 30ish pounds of fat doesn't look like much. And if you want to be ripped, then powerlifting isn't the sport for you. Not saying there aren't lifters in lower classes with lean physiques, but it's just not the point of the sport. Just be as strong as you can be at the body fat you want to be.

>thought that was 5th element guy
So i hopped on Candito's LP and why iis it that i am exhausted by EXACTLY 1pl8 for every pause variation? My SS stats were 100/145/245/275. Lbs obviously. I know im weaker than shit but why are my pause reps so weird?
>on cut
>hungry af
>its only 9pm

Is it stupid to squat low bar when I don't actively lean forward in the squat?
>>36884788
Yea, no.

>40% of plg dislike Martin
Seems like a significant figure to just about everybody.
Stop acting like a child, it doesn't help your case.
>>36884837
the poll was just a way to see how many like him
we already know sean is gonna vote multiple times, so that side of the poll doesnt really matter

>on cut
>pretty much no difference in hunger and energy
Being a super fatty has its perks.

again and reconsider who is acting stupid.
>>36884848
well im pretty jealous
>>36884862
Why are you making a generalization saying
>people
when the amount that dislikes him is not even in the majority, let alone dominating.
That's really, really stupid.

He literally can not vote multiple times. It is not possible for him to reset his router 6 times in the space that those votes were entered, nor can he likely be bothered to try.
The poll had no purpose. Op didn't state a purpose, however it does indicate that forty (40) percent of people in these threads hate Martin brenner.
If you want to go by the childish and unlikely argument of vote manipulation then we must discredit Martins votes as Joffchild reset his router and voted 11 times.
>>36884895
he has a vpn lad
>>36884916
He literally resets his router because he a poor cuck. He's admitted to it before.
