guys last night I thought I killed this spider at first with my water bottle but when I looked only one of its le was squished against my water bottle
When I went to confirm te kill (thought its body fell behind my desk) it was nowhere To be found
So how long until it bleeds to death or what ?

Nice to see 99% of my gym wear hoodies instead of the small powerfat population
I don't understand how my strength managed to tank so hard in the space of a single week lads
Been trying a little too hard at the gym
Making some good progression but knee hurts for no apparent reason
Never when lifting, but afterwards...
>>37496036
probably has something to do with you doing a dumb af program.
>>37496037
actually you just aren't trying hard enough for your knee not to hurt.
trying hard isn't only a gym concept desu.

>>37496064
no, even worse!
>>37496070
i modified 5/3/1 and made good gains tBh but really i was weak af and would've gained on anything plus the program was so bastardized it wasn't 5/3/1 anymore.

It's so shit. Doesn't even work for building muscle like I thought it would
It is so shit, I don't understand anyone's reason for running it. Cutting it not, cutting does shit all for your performance.

No time off. Sleep was fucked last night though. Took me like 30 minutes to fall asleep, and then woke up constantly throughout the night. Woke up every 10 minutes after 6 am, and my alarm was set for 7:50. I'm training at a different gym than usual today, but I've benched here before last cycle and got 235x7 no problem.

no.
this is a powerlifting thread, if you dont compete/ have no interest in competing you shouldnt be here
you sound like somebody that just wants to fit in with a group you dont belong with so try to force 'barbell strength' in with it
and like i said this one isnt any better with the owg shit but we are here now

Correct.
You might be training for strength utilizing a barbell, but powerlifting is a "sport (debatable)".
Enter a meet and quit being such a faggot.

This.
You can play soccer and powerlift without competing. You can powerlift all you want without ever even considering entering a meet. But you're not a soccer player / powerlifter unless you compete.
Do you all see the difference between playing soccer / powerlifting and being a "powerlifter"/"soccer player"? Its a pretty damn important distinction, and its one that

powerlifting IS the competition
with the 3 lifts with 3 attempts to get the best total you can on the day in the same day
yet some know it all shit in the gym can do 5/3/1 in the gym and say he is powerlifting and cherry pick his best lifts form whenever the fuck and through wilks about that he never got
but ok you just keep talking about soccer, maybe sean will show you around /sp/ if you ask him nice

>>37496425
I've already been lifting for five years. I've been severely ill/ injured for the past year and a half and I've literally had to start from scratch from the bar.
>>37496449
yeah i doubt you will be lifting after the next 5 years
do you disagree with me
Wait a minute so if I bench and squat and deadlift but don't compete then I'm not a powerlifter?
Even if I train to be good at those specific lifts?
I train wl and don't compete but I'm still a wl
U guys are p autistic desu
>>37496447
But you can practice a sport without the competition. I.e, as we clarified earlier, the difference between "playing soccer" and being a "soccer player".
Or in this case, the distinction between "powerlifting" as a hobby on my own and completing as a "powerlifter".
>>37496466
I do disagree with you. I will be lifting for the next several decades. The same as my father has done for his entire life. You don't know me.

Stooopid
>>37496492
Rows > God
You literally can't be a powerlifter without doing a competition.
This is why if someone asks me if I am a powerlifter, I say "no, but I train for it. I haven't done a competition yet,"
or, "No, but I do powerlifting training,"
etc.
IDK how you can call yourself something you literally aren't.
And even if I did compete, I probably would feel weird about it unless I were really really strong.
>>37496492
>mfw loving the rows / chins memeing.
its like the new hepburn autism.
>>37496474
They're being autistic. If you train bench, squat, and deadlift to be as strong as possible for one rep at the bench, squat, and deadlift, then you're powerlifting. Same with the oly lifts.
The meet is where powerlifters see who is the best powerlifter. The meet does not define them as a powerlifter. Their training and the purpose of their training does.
>>37496411
>There's no point in entering a meet unless you're going to be competitive.
You'll never compete then.

So u tellin me a guy who enjoys cycling and had a 10k dollar bike and bikes hundreds of miles a week because he enjoys it but doesn't compete isn't a cyclist?
>>37496540
I understand that it is autistic desu, but I personally feel weird about calling myself something I'm not. Obviously people can do their own thing.
But I feel weird and self-conscious about saying "I'm a powerlifter" when I've literally never done a meet or even a mock meet for that matter.
Though I'll probably do a mock meet when I stall out on TM.
When people ask I tell them I'm a powerlifter or that compete powerlifting
Call the cops I don't care
>>37496474
You're not a weightlifter if you haven't been on platform. You especially don't do "oly"
>>37496517
It could be the next lats in the bench
>>37496521
Nah you're wrong. You have to compete and have another competition in the calendar to call yourself a powerlifter
>>37496530
I'm gonna take that as a mire since glutes are the larger muscle in the human body and that picture was my biceps
>biceps so large you think it's actually te largest muscle in my body
>>37496552
>but doesn't compete isn't a cyclist?
I'm telling you he's a bitch.
If you're going to talk about yourself like someone who competes in a sport with NO ENTRY PREREQUISITE, then you should do the sport.

If you are in London I will marry you today
>>37496559
Personally , I don't define myself by it, but I say "I powerlift" or now, "I olympic lift".
My only issue with calling myself a "powerlifter" or "olympic lifter" is that i feel like I would have to make it my entire life before I could define myself by it. But I have a job, and am a full-time student, and in the past, powerlifting, and now, olympic lifting, were things that I deeply enjoyed, put a great deal of time, effort , and dedication into, but were ultimately only hobbies as work and school had to come first.
So now I "olympic lift" but I don't consider myself an "olympic weightlifter",not because I don't compete, but because I feel like it's place in my life doesn't warrant the title. And I'll still say I olympic lift and competr whenever the hell I please, or not.

>>37496562
>Call the cops I don't care
thats just a plg thing, ill still count you Tbh
even if i will meme when i see a uspa logo creep out of the corner of a pic
question:
is it common / normal to be unable to unrack without a liftoff?
Because now I position myself pretty far down on the bench and with more arch, and the bar is usually a bit behind me when I setup, so I literally need a liftoff to bench.

kek
see>>37496634
and theres nothing actually wrong with that, it is what it is
I doubt anyone would have an idea here since it's a bit of a unique case, but when I was 2 my brother broke my legs lifting me over a baby gate and falling. My left one didn't heal the same as my right and now my left leg is 1 inch shorter than the other. I kept hurting myself squatting since nobody knew, until I finally realized the problem, and got an insert for my shoe. So now when I'm standing straight my hips are even but my left knee is higher than my right, and then at the bottom of a squat my knee is still higher and I assume my torso is slightly twisted since the left femur is shorter. Surprisingly I've gotten up to a 4 plate squat no issues since I got the insert, which is nice I never made it higher than 225 before. Do I probably have a limit on how much I can safely lift?
Also potentially related, when I'm warming up on squats, my inner quad, vastus medialis I think, on my left leg hurts, but when I get to heavy weight it stops hurting, anyone got any advice?
>>37496660
>I olympic lift as a hobby.
I jumped in my pool yesterday. Does that mean that I can call myself an olympic diver?
>>37496685
If you work out and come in and strive for "general strength" and "health and fitness", then you workout for a hobby.
I olympic lift for a hobby. Its training to get as strong as possible at the two competitive olympic lifts.

Do you train diving on a regular basis for the purpose of being a diver, and adhere to the standards of the sport?
Then you're a diver.
Do you just go fuck around in a pool?
The no.
Same as:
Do I go to the gym, and train to make myself as strong as possible in the clean and jerk and snatch?
Then I olympic lift.
Do I come to the gym, fuck around, and occasionally do shitty powercleans because I think they look cool or because my crossfit coach told me to?
The no.
Its pretty simple.

"breaking" at the knee is a cue for beginners or people who are technically deficient only. at no point should you be trying to direct the motion of the squat using your knees.
there are no muscles in your knees.
for the highbar, you should be focusing on opening your entire leg along the plane of your toes by flexing the quads and hips
your core should be rigid through your glutes, and your glutes should be fully tightened. they should come in as straight of a line down as possible
"breaking at the knees" is a meaningless phrase taught to people who "sit back" for the squat because it's easy to visualize, but it is NOT the correct way to cue your squat, and it will lead to poor core/glute engagement and weak hips
>>37497184
It's different than how the low bar is traditionally taught to people, and many people have success with less knee travel, but that's how haack squats and he blows all of us out the fuckin water
>>37497217
It seems to me like for low bar the best things to help me are:
(1) keeping butt tight and slowly sitting back with it
(2) tightening / flexing ass on the way up at depth.
>>37497238
I have pretty long legs, so I get pitched over pretty bad in low bar.
High bar is pretty comfy for me, but if I try to squat that way with a lower bar position it will fuck me up I think.
might try this today a little tho.

Source: Max Aita's own fucking squats. at 1:06 there's a clip of him highbar squatting 240kg. Slow it down to .25x speed and watch it a couple of times.
He does not "break" at the knees, and he does not lead the squat with his knees. Instead, he uses a perfectly straight core and powerful glutes to come as straight down as possible, while using his hips and quads to give his glutes room to come down, while stabilizing the weight on the way down
there should be no "break" in a high bar squat, the muscles should move fluidly, supporting each other

Rows are bad for powerlifters i think, they limit your potential deadlift volume
Id do chest supported rows.
o-out of my way p-please
>>37496838
>in general, not suited for powerlifting.
Why's that? Or are they just saying it's not good as a career-long strategy?
>>37496098
Damn man, please don't kill yourself. Hopefully next time you get better sleep and are actually in the right 'mood' to get it.
>mfw thinkin' of you hurtin
>>37497289
>>37497184
The more 'high bar' my low bar looks and feels, the better I move weight and the better my hips and back feel. I am a huge memer though and you should probably ignore my advice and anecdotes.
>>37497288
>chest supported rows
Why not just do pullups/chins at that point if you don't want to work posterior chain?
>>37497248
Anything you're not used to will feel uncomfortable until you ingrain the motor patterns.
Don't let this discourage you from trying something new! Don't be afraid to let your knees travel forward, as long as they go out in the direction your toes are already pointing. If they cave in, you'll have some pain.
>>37495849
>Tfw my reply is in this screenshot
>>37497288
makes sense desu.
both from grip and from lumbar.
im wondering the same thing as this guy.
>>37497325
or do you mean chins / chest supported.
>>37497325
I've tried a variation where you place a bench on some blocks, with a loaded bar under the bench for full-body supported rows. I feel like this lets me get more lat than chinups.
Can you recover from back surgery at 22 years of age and be competitive in PL ever again?
>>37497345
*chins + chest supported
>>37497365
thats how the chinese do it.
>>37497368
>surgery, at 22
>not just pretending it's not a problem till it goes away because you're young and you'll probably heal well
>>37497389
Maybe youll understand if you can ever lift as much as he can (at like twice thebodyweight kek)
>>37497365
It's called a seal row. But it's a waste of time and effort to drag out a bench, blocks, barbell, and plates for an accessory movement when you can just do some weighted chins for next to no time and effort. And identical lat involvement as far as quantifiable benefit goes, regardless of what you "feel", as it's impossible do any pulling movement without lats.
>squat training max upped 15kg since last cycle
>added front squats on top of my regular squatting
Wow fuck, actually have to push myself now. Remember the first few weeks being challenging cardio wise but my quads are just dying now. Sets of 7 and 8 all aroudn and weights bumping up

Does /plg/ have a steam group?
>>37497453
My herniated discs are more or less fine. Do your rehab, fix bad patterns, be careful, carry on. I can promise you several of your ancestors managed to survive and thrive in spite of significant spine injuries.
>>37497592
ancestors werent world record powerlifters and neither are you, just some fat, weak, moronic child
>>37497592
>>37497453
Don't know who to belieb
Got myself a bad lower back injury. Sciata and the lot
Been doing rehab and making my hips more mobile and I'm squatting and deadlifting with bad form pain free
+ I'm young
Basically healed over night but not really
>>37497600
This is such a fucking retard statement.
I wish deadly diseases such as cancer were reserved for retards like yourself.
>>37497600
I didn't say he would ever take gold at World's, but a herniated disc isn't the end of the world, for him or for you. I also have a master's and abs, but I am pretty weak.
>>37497621

lol summer is here i see
>>37497453
I'm sure many world class lifters have had bulging and herniated discs. IIRC Dan Green has had like 3 herniated discs or something.
>>37497592
"My herniated discs" are not others herniated discs. There are a ton of factors that affect injury significance and recovery, such as level of nerve to compression, degree of protrusion, and so on. You're a fucking retard to even suggest one injury is like all other. That's like saying a paper cut is identical to a knife wound, and that recovery and complications are the same.
>>37497647
dan green hasnt been powerlifting, he retired in 2011
I think the gym is giving me PTSD
When people drop iron plates I'm beginning to get "shocked". I feel like I get flash banged. I can't quite describe the feeling. It feels you loose consciousness for a second.
Also when taking the train and it passes the station I get the same feeling.
Loud noises are starting me make me uncontrollably react
>>37497592
Yes, and it is well known that a pretty decent proportion of the population has disc issues in some form or another and most of them are benign and harmless, but that does NOT mean that every situation should be worked through or otherwise ignored. (Look no further than Akkaev claiming MOST of his team required surgery for just such an issue—maybe someone should have told them that most athletes have minor bulges?)
Someone qualified may well have concluded that you were not in a risky situation, but they did so with much more information than you personally have even if you were to see this other guy, which you haven't. That's the thing—you don't know this guy, and you don't know much about spine health—how in the world could you be so irresponsible? It's disgusting. There is no doubt or caution in what you say. Do you have zero self awareness?
I'm fine disagreeing with you about some aspects of lifting. I don't think people are really right or wrong about that, it's a matter of perspective and preference and lots else besides, but THIS is just obscene. I don't care how you approach your own lifting, but at least respect other people's health enough to realize that you know next to nothing about it. This is like those random guys on /fit/ giving advice after a couple of months lifting, except this shit actually matters.
>This is giving me an internet advice existential crisis.
So do you guys really think / hope, that powerlifting becomes olympic "sport"?
>>37497677
Get quality ear plugs. Glue headphone wires to them, and people won't think you're weird, and no one and no noise will ever bother you again.
>>37497693
No.
The Olympics have been a political pissing match for the last 70 years.
Power lifting should be about one thing. The weight.
>>37497691
Wait ... this is actually the real Marcel, recognize the analogy, he used it before.
Wow, hi.
>>37497652
Yup, I'm clearly mentally retarded and you're a special snowflake with a spine radically different from mine. No two injuries are the same, sure, but we're only really taking degrees of severity here.
>>37497657
he competed last year
Can we stop talking about spine injuries?
It's making me feel bad about mine...
It's making me feel bad for not going to the doctor...
It's making me feel bad for lifting through it...
This is suppose to my safe space
>inb4 30 replies telling me to go doctors

Packpeddle harder, retard. Hancott's clearly got nerve issues since he can't even row 135 without severe pain, and given the nonexistent healing rate of cartilage, that's no going to fix itself anytime soon, rehab or not. Stop talking out of your ass, as if your minor injury applies to all others, as if you even have the knowledge to speak of such issues.
>>37497880

Now fuck off.
I strained my fucking pec, lads. Looks like 3 weeks of lower body and being a curl bro. Maybe I can manage to strain my asshole doing nothing but squats and diddylifts until it heals.
Any good suggestions for lifts I can still hit with a strained pec?
>>37497971
Adipowers my friend. I have narrow feet too, and I got mine on sale from Rogue for $125. They're about $170 normally.
>>37497971
Romaleos come up on sale on Eastbay pretty often as well, that's what I use and like. Grabbed mine for like 115 or 125 I don't remember.
This was 8/10 training. Good enough.
>>37497994
ohhh a PR is coming
>>37497953
nice reading comprehension
>>37498001
Yup. I think so :)
>>37497992
Only thing about Romaleos is they're more suited for people with wider feet, where as adipowers are better for people with more narrow feet.
>>37497955
>instead of bringing up directly relate medical literature to support my claim, I will bring up this unrelated bogus claim of supposed "ancestors" managed spinal injuries
That's a strawman. And now a ad hominem. Just full of fallacies, you stupid faggot. Literally a pointless post, anecdote and all.
