>>34869580
Means "to be honest".
I don't bully ;^]
I showed some girls at work/uni a bunch of /plg/ tripfags.
They almost unanimously agreed that Virtus and Bryce were the best looking, Buda was the most husband-worthy guy and that Sean and Jesus were the worst looking.
>weigh 102kg, deadlift is ninth place in my wtclass and country
>if I bulked up to 120+ and kept the same deadlift I would hit a national all time record

Should I literally tuck my chest in and flex my abs as hard as possible while keeping air in the belly when I squat?

Bench felt pretty alright, deadlifts are feeling more and more shit as my squat improves. Literally a 1:1 ratio on that front...

>>34869529
Would really love a good steak rn desu.
Scared lads
>>34870178
down to 230 from 300 desu
When I deadlift heavy, like a 1rep max, my upper back rounds. My spine is straight and my lower back ( lumbar) is neutral and doesn't round at all. I don't feel any just the regular strain of lifting my max. Some people say no biggie others say snap city. What are your thoughts/fit/?
>>34870196
>Look 70 if tall. 55 if manlet.
nice meme
>>34870206
*any pain
>>34870204
Gj then. What numbers are those in the video?
>>34870201
why
>>34870201
We aren't scared though, you must mean some other lads.
>>34870217
So how tall? 250 cm?
>>34870231
someone knows me and I dont know that
what if hes dangerous?
>>34870221
215 (85%) and 335 (80%)
>>34870201
why, OCT?
>>34870246
Dl really seems low compared to bench...
>>34870237
I'm 190 or something very close.
>>34870242
>>34870201
>tfw scared my friend phil
You have 20kg on me though, you could just make me GET OUTTA YOUR WAY
>>34870256
well, my bench form is okay and my deadlift form is shit
that explains the discrepancy desu

>>34870261
>I'm 190 or something very close.
I don't get it. I'm 188, weigh less than you but look much bigger. Did you get lead implants in your bones or is it an old video?
Lads my squat looks like benchbros
It's not quite as bad lower back rounding
How do I fix this
>>34870299
lie across some train tracks
>>34870286
nah
>>34870296
from today. You're probably leaner than me.
It's weird that you would look bigger than me though because I have small wrists(thus small frame).
>>34870322
My frame is pretty small too. And you don't look all that fat either. Didn't want to jump on you like that, just seems really weird.
What's your arm or thigh size?
>>34870314
But you get posted in /soc/ all the time
>>34870384
>not lgbt
>>34870206
It's fine.
>>34870375
Just measured, thigh fully extended and arm flexed
57cm and 36cm
>>34870437
64 and 39. You are literally made from heavier stuff or have a massive penor.

Nice job friend. I'm hoping to squat that before spring comes.
>>34870533
what are you gonna lift
>>34870559
not helpful desu m8
>>34870612
I'll be pretty pleased if i hit 405 tomorrow. If i hit more than 405 i'm going to be fucking ecstatic
>>34870627
>>34870314
any form ideas for me? >>34870130
>>34870627
Make sure to get 420 xDDDDDDDDDD
>>34870643
Thats a dick move desu
>>34870654
hey wank are you ever gonna reveal a lean, slick physique? maybe around 110kg
or are you gonna stay around this bodyfat or even get heavier?
>>34870643
>nope.png
>>34870649
cant watch atm senpai
>>34870654
fuck if i get 420 i'll be stupid happy, and will meme the fuck out of it. I promise.
>>34870627
>not helpful
Well aren't you a special snowflake, wanting positive reinforcement and encouragement instead of motivating threats.
Operation lmaonobench is going well. Spoto presses are up into the mid-3s and 425 went for 6 with the slingamajig today.
>>34870673
Going to either sit around 130, or go to 120
>ever going to 110
I'd rather not be shit at powerlifting forever tbqh
>>34870695
If i ever roid, I'll just go and be a lean 160 desu
>>34870687
>110
>shit at pl
I'm around 190cm, so I guess thats a few cm shorter than you. What weight would I need to be to git gud at PL? Pic is me >>34870612
>>34870708
yeah, 5cm
Erm, I'd say in the long run just fill out the 120s
Or if you don't mind getting fat, then go to SHW
>>34870702
IKR? Short people don't get it.
>>34870708
How good?
>>34870708
Oh, just saw that you're 89kg lol
I'd say just bulk and fill out 105s and just stay there for a while and filling out 120s would be a very very long term goal
There is always the option of being a fatboi SHW though
>>34870612
Definitely the dick. Mine is pretty small, so I guess that explains it.
>>34870586
dude I am watching some lets plays and it looks sick. can't wait to get it for myself on black friday
>>34870740
>>34870708
yeah I read your post and thought that I would be a chubster in the -120s.
>fill outs 105s
How exactly do I fill out a class? Just bulk and cut between 93 and 105?
Also how long do you think it would take for me to be decently lean(visible abs) in the 105?
>>34870736
>How good?
The best.
>>34870687
>not a shw
disappointedrobertwilks.jpg
>>34870643
is that a ... a pec and tricep tear???
>decently lean(visible abs) in the 105?
>>34870770
>The best
SHW then.
>>34870770
>How exactly do I fill out a class? Just bulk and cut between 93 and 105?
Do your regular cut and bulking, until you hit 105 at your desired bf%
Or your can bulk to 105 fast and then recomp over time.
>Also how long do you think it would take for me to be decently lean(visible abs) in the 105?
No idea, completely dependent on the individual, but it would probably take at least 2+ years
>>34870643
that tape is going to make a world of difference
>>34870797
Will I be the most competitive there though?
>>34870804
>lean 105 within 4 years
sounds sick tbf :DD
>>34870789
hey sean give me an address I'll kick you through the wall
>sure thing anon, we'll call you around 6:30 and tell you where the parties gonna be!
>8:06pm
>>34870810
Bodorio can fill out the 105 class nicely though. Not everybody can.
>>34870771
Depends, I'll see how I feel at 130
>>34870819
Don't take my word for it lol, but depending on how long you've been lifting already, yeah it can probably be done within 4 years.
>>34870826
holy shit fucking keked so hard kek
>>34870804
>From skinnyfat 89 to lean 105
>in 2 years
You are being very optimistic. I'd stay at least 5.
>>34870810
>decently lean (visible abs)
>>34870826
Did you unplug your phone charger to use the toaster?
>>34870826
Looks like me back in school. They kept telling me they'd invite me but they never did..lesson learned? Never count on them to call you, get the address in person.
>>34870819
>Will I be the most competitive there though?
Not for a long time, no. But eventually you will be. And it's the weight class you'll have to be in if you want to be the best. 120s at a stretch.

>>34871663
Nice man
Whats your deadlift at now?
>>34871663
Every time you post I think "wow there's no way that guy can be any more of an obnoxious faggot," yet time and time again you prove me wrong. Congrats.
>>34871685
Sean. Why? Why will you not just fucking go on the general? And why the fuck do you even want to know?
>>34871707
Why not just tell me? whats so hard about entering in three digits?
>>34871704

I do it for you.
>driving home from gym
>mfw I got passed by a lowered, decatted, baby blue Honda Civic that sounded like it was running in excess of 4000rpm at just over 30mph
kek
Anyway, did deficit deadlifts and OHP today. I'm having an issue with OHP where the 5lb differences are much bigger, percentage-wise, than with other lifts, and I'm not sure how to handle it.

It's pointless to be cruising at such high rpm. He didn't shift back up after passing me.
It was like he had an angry little chainsaw in his engine bay.

Nah, I live in New Hampshire.
>>34871765
I don't get it man. It's not full of malware. What are you playing at?

>>34871810
I think on meet day I did a few triples up to 75% of opener and then did like 3-4 singles working up towards about 85-90% of opener.
>>34871950
alright that sounds about right. i just don't want to warm up too high. wasn't sure if 90% (of opener, not max) was pushing it. thanks
>>34871941
Maybe. Who's asking?
Hi, I basically never bench. Can someone critique this for me? I kinda just did what I saw on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-dttcAyG0Q
>>34871977
heels and head down laddo. for your setup you get really tight and arched then just let it go and go flat backed and loose
>>34871971
Breh from Manch
>>34871966
pussy
>>34871991
why heels down, isn't that personal preference? My head also was down, it didn't leave the bench
how do I prevent getting loose? That's the only way I can unrack the bar
>>34871991
You're all a bunch of stupid niggers
>>34872005
if you're going to compete your heels have to be down. and ok i couldn't tell where your head was from the video.
unracking the bar like you do it fine, but instead of letting your feet slide out from under you once you unrack, try to maintain that tension and just lower your butt to the bench instead of what you're currently doing. maybe try to start your set up with your feet more under you. you aren't very loose but you could be tighter and it would help you out. otherwise looks fine.
>>34871992
Oh, ok. Were you the one looking for a new gym a while back? How'd that go for you?
>captcha has been fish the last four times
What the fuck, man.
>>34872005
make sure your shoulders stay locked when unracking and dont pop up
>>34872005
>why heels down, isn't that personal preference
Yes. But it limits the federations you can compete in for Powerlfiting. It seems to me you're transient and not regular to the /plg/ so I'm gonna say heels up is just fine.
Honestly, I don't know what Joffrey is going on about, cause with the camera that far away, and you backlit, I can't determine a single fuckin' thing.
>>34872032
Yeah, I'm mostly lifting at school right now, sorting out my shit at the end of the semester.
Also I'm on dat dere legacy captcha.
>>34872005
Yes it is personal preference, but it's also an epic meme.
>>34872039
joffreys a fucking kek twink you know this already come on
>>34872005
Leg drive, and LOTS of it throughout the whole lift starting from the unrack, instead of just initiating it off your chest is what helps with tightness.
>>34872005
You're a fucking crossfitter piece of shit go back to reddit you c_uck
>>34872039
i'm mostly basing my judgments on his setup from prior to unracking and his setup after. When you unracks there's a lot of tensions and tightness throughout his body, then he loses it, brings his feet back, and tries to get tight again, and i don't think he does too good of a job.
>>34872025
ok, I'll try to maintain my tightness better
>>34872036
yeah this is more clear. How do I avoid this? The only way to clear the bar from the pins is to push shoulders forward it seems
>>34872039
yeah the alternative was getting someone to video me and that always gets weird responses like I'm an insta bitch trying to get a selfie
>>34872054
er, ok, I'm not sure how you can get leg drive except from pushing the bar up though
>>34872055

>>34872063

>>34872063
Was just about to mention this, he had tons of tightness when he unracked, then loses most it when he switched his feet.
He's either got to choose heels up or heels down, not change it halfway through the lift desu
>>34872067
>How do I avoid this? The only way to clear the bar from the pins is to push shoulders forward it seems
how about
>elbow extension?
also make sure youre squeezing your shoulder blades together if you arent already doing that
>>34872067
>>34872067
>I'm not sure how you can get leg drive except from pushing the bar up though
Push your feet into the ground, and keep pushing throughout the whole lift, leg drive is the main source of tightness, it's not only used to launch it off your chest.
>>34872063
Keen eye, lad. I thought you were talking about his upper back and I was just so flabbergasted you could tell. I was fucking with my screen settings a good two minutes.
>>34872067
>The only way to clear the bar from the pins is to push shoulders forward it seems
Nope. It may seem that way, but you can "drag" the bar off the pins by using your lats.
>>34872067
>er, ok, I'm not sure how you can get leg drive except from pushing the bar up though
Think of leg drive as used to push your butt closer to your shoulders lad.
>>34872067
>weightlifter*
If /owg/ ever found out you were benching they'd fucking castrate you m8.
>>34872105
>Think of leg drive as used to push your butt closer to your shoulders lad
I like this cue
leg drive also helps with creating and maintaining a bigger arch due to this fact desu
>>34872114
The two things that "clicked" for me for bench was grip, and that leg drive is a constant, not just for the final push.
>>34872127
>and that leg drive is a constant, not just for the final push.
This 100%
Also, I'm thinking of widening my bench grip for next cycle desu, i'd move from middle finger on rings to max legal grip, possibly pulling a cheating tactic where I only have the webbing of my hand on the rings to get even wider of a grip
Thoughts?
>>34872164
I don't understand how you guys can do this. I bench with my pinky about a cm inside the rings and anything else feels horrible. I'm not even short desu
>>34872164
You're a Flip, not a Jap.
>>34872164
I always find it surprising how analytical we are about who should sumo, but we rarely talk about what sort of structure does best with regards to bench grip width.
>>34869500
I miss supermang lads
>>34872164
I bench with my index fingers on the rings. Feels good. I'm also 6'4, so it's not particularly wide.

>>34872179
I don't do it, desu I tried max legal grip and it felt slightly worse, but so did me changing from pinkies on the rings to middle finger on rings, and middle finger on rings feels unbelievably comfy right now.
>>34872186
Fair point
>>34872194
Yeah, we really should lol
I feel like max legal grip on guys with lanky arms may not be the best thing ever, I'll have to put it to the test.
>>34872200
Yeah it's not that wide for me and you, it just feels foreign to me right now, will have to try it out properly for a little bit and get used to it, to see how it goes for me
>>34872215
>rucking
Nah lad
>>34872220
Got a date with a grill who wants to suck my hog on Saturday. She's not even fat or ugly either, it's wild.
>>34872194
i think its more because sumo vs conventional is affected by things like bone length and hip morphology whereas whether you'll have a stronger wide bench or a stronger narrow bench is more dependent on just muscular development? And since you can directly influence your muscular development, it doesn't really matter which you choose. i could be totally wrong though, that's just my intuition.
>>34872257
pics or it didnt happen
>>34872220
Wew lad you almost had to fuck her twice
>>34872253
>I feel like max legal grip on guys with lanky arms may not be the best thing ever, I'll have to put it to the test.
I've always been very tri dominant, so keeping the ring on my ring finger has always felt best.
>>34872246
He's still doing PL and making great gains
He switched to sumo, and finally hit that 4pl8 bench he had been coveting, his skwet in d beg is still lacking but he's gaining on it consistently now that he has a coach
>>34872280
I know lad, I know
and i really wanted to :((
>>34872293
>this guy is literally going to not get laid because he missed a dubs roll
>>34872253
Even moving in to middle fingers on rings feels weird. Exaggerated close grip feels natural though.
>>34872257
Glad I'm done with that shit. It was never bad, but you can only get up at 3 to march your happy ass around the training area for hours in the dark before you're sick of that shit for good.

Here is my nightly Smolov vid.

Last session (7x5@415) was one of the hardest sessions of my life. 2 days later... wasn't that bad.

Dammit, there goes my sponsorship.

Not bad depth either, for the size of the man.
>>34872463
oh smolov....
Do you think you could shed some insight on warming up on meet day? What % do you typically hit for your last warmup before your openers?
>>34872463
spf? is that the fed they call this depth in?

Sheiko is a meme and you're retarded for unironically doing it
>>34872530
>shed some insight on warming up on meet day? What % do you typically hit for your last warmup before your openers?
Usually something like:
Bar x 15
1 plate x 8
2 plate x 3
3 plate x 2
4 plate x 2
Then 20 lb jumps for singles up to 80% or so.
Some guys don't like to warm up to that amount, but I can't feel grooved without working up that way.
>>34872549
>fist bumps the kid
Powerlifting meets can be pretty damn neat sometimes.
Unfortunately, he was banned from the IPF indefinitely for "fist to fist contact for purposes other than procreation".
>>34872562
>smash some sheiko
Smush it, dude.
>>34872534
>spf? is that the fed they call this depth in?
No. Different fed. Also, that is one squat, from a front angle, in practice, of 30 squats above 80 percent. Ain't even mad :)
>>34872598
thanks pal.
>>34872105
I'll try that, thanks for the cue. I still have no idea how to unrack properly, dragging the bar seems weird and I can't quite get my elbows to extend properly when I'm lifting the bar up.
I thought it would be easier having long arms but guess not
>>34872589
sean
please.
>>34872613
>thanks pal.
Sure friend :)
Warmups are funny. I try not to take things too seriously. I've been to meets where warming up is near impossible.
One gym had a bar rated for like 500 lbs. It was bent, and there was only 400 lbs of plates.
Top guy almost bombed out because he couldn't get warm. We had to keep swapping weights for the female lifters and Seans that were warming up with lower weights.
Still had fun, though.
>>34872598
But if you don't leave a sweaty sackprint on the floor it gets red lights. Some memester on plg said so.
>>34872630
Watch the entire "So you think you can bench" seminar on youtube.
>>34872635
yeah i probably am over thinking it. i'll probably hit a single at around 90% of my opener, maybe a little less. at my last meet i had to warmup on a bent bar for deadlifts. it looked like a buffalo bar, almost.
>>34872635
Never had a warm up room like that at an IPF meet :^)
>>34872521
Any bench suggestions for me?
>>34870130
>>34872691
>>34872675
>if you don't leave a sweaty sackprint on the floor it gets red lights.
I've been trying to improve my scrotal leverages. I've been tying weights to my balls. That, plus being 30 years old with sagging balls, means that I don't have to squat as deep.
As long as I get plenty of chalk on them, they leave a nice little 'poof' on the floor.
Profit.
>>34872679
>at my last meet i had to warmup on a bent bar for deadlifts. it looked like a buffalo bar, almost.
Lol, that sucks.
Just remember to smile, talk to other competitors, make friends, and have fun.
>>34872691
>Never had a warm up room like that at an IPF meet :^)
Lol, this was shabby even for lolfed standards. The joker who decided to host the fed lied about his facilities. We made due, but it wasn't 'optimal'.
>>34872705
>Any bench suggestions for me?
Bracing looks good. Arch is nice. If anything, you just look soft in the legs.
If someone came along and kicked your legs, they shouldn't go anywhere. Looks like you loose a little tension after setup, just as you prepare to unrack.
Might need to tweak your foot planting to keep tension up. Other than that, looked nice.
Cozy home gym :)
>>34872706
>>34872691
I see the IPF meme... if I just keep smiling and saying "fun" it might go away... :)
>>34872710
What people don't realize about Old Man Lilliebridge is that his shrunken steroid balls are in an old man sack the size of a garbage bag, so even though his squats look high, without that singlet protecting the viewers' innocence his depth would be unquestionable.
>>34872675
brief reminder that almost all feds have the same rules regarding squat depth, only a few care to enforce it though.

so?

Also remember to wait for the unrack, unlock your elbows, descend, press, and pec, delt, and triceps activation commands on the bench.
>>34872869
>so?
Hip is still bothering me w/babbyweight squats. I have a laundry list of like 13 different stretches and warm-up drills before I squat tomorrow but I'm not sure how much more I can try lads :(
>>34872929
Just deal with it like a man.
Ignore it and press on regardless until it becomes debilitating and ruins the remainder of your life.
>>34872929
Artificial hip desu senpai

First time lifter means you get babied a little a your first comp I believe. I can't remember how. It's not a monetary thing. If you're a student the membership is way cheaper.
>>34872938
It's her hip, not her vagina you fucking idiot.
>>34872947
pressure on the hips is applied when force of penis is applied to vaginal area
>>34872929
If you have an injured hip, stretching won't really help, only rest will.
Also, if it's only a slight pain, like less than a 3/10, I'd just do the squat session and see how it goes, but if it really starts to bother you during your warmup, obviously don't go ahead with the workout, and go and get it checked if you haven't already.

Can't believe I'm responding to sean to say this, but no lie, last time I was at the gynecologist she told me she could feel how tight my right piriformis was (and it hurt when she poked it, too)
>>34872954
I don't know if it's really injured. I think I'm somehow loading it too much when I squat. I'm pretty asymmetrical and can feel my left quad pushing up in a squat, but everything feels centered on the anterior part of my hip on the right. I'm hoping the thing to do is a lot of positioning drills to fix that. I've tried not squatting, too, but it comes back eventually when I start again.
>>34872999
Use a safety squat bar. Your back will explode and your hip will be the least of your worries.
>>34872999
wow slut, but desu, you always reply to me not sure why thats surprise by now you know you like me
>>34872999
>I think I'm somehow loading it too much when I squat
Do you sit back a ton and not allow much knee travel?
>>34873008
Don't have one unfortunately
>>34873015
I have terrible ankle mobility, terrible hip mobility, and pretty long femurs, so yeah I end up sitting back a bunch. I'm working on mobility daily. My left hip barely complains at all though.
>>34873034
you skipped my post
>>34873034
Well you should fix that hip and ankle mobility then senpai
Also, if you have a lack of hip mobility, that'd probably be why it hurts when you squat, also the fact your left hip doesn't get hurt much may be due to having more mobility in the left side, which isn't really uncommon to be asymmetrical.
