/plg/ - powerlifting general

UPDATED LIST OF PLG APPROVED ACRONYMS (Arcane Ciphers Of Never Yielding Muscularity), post, but don't spam, in every thread.

>GDE (Genetic Dead End)
Exercise low-responder. High injury rate, no sports background, weak willed.

>HANK (Hambuilt Asian, Non-Kompetitive)
Obese Asian manlet with a baby carrot penis. Doesn't compete, doesn't even lift, and is insanely jealous of those who do. LARPs as a BONER to cope.

>CUCC (Cuckold Uninjured Crying Canadian)
Identify as injured, without medical diagnosis. Trans-herniated. Purposely do self-destructive programs like PH3, Smolov, etc. They wanted an excuse to quit.

>VOLEM (Voluntary Evermediate)
Late beginner, early intermediate. Panics when the bar gets heavy. Program hops, works on technique, or sabotages recovery as an excuse to not progress.

>BONER (Bench Only No Effort Retard)
Wants to have the admiration and ego of someone who lifts, but doesn't want to get the squat or deadlift of someone who actually lifts. Copes with a combination of bench press and autism.

>CHODE (Communist Homo Of Dick Eating)
Angry, godless little postmodernists who secretly loathe strong, masculine men who won't fuck their boybutt. Some transition into ugly rat faced pedos, others defend said CHODES. Also known as PHAGs (Projecting Homo Ass Goblins)

>TCHAD (Tries Consistently Hard All Day)
The Isleys, MAs, and other guys with average genes who actually like competing and getting stronger.

>UFO (Under Fed Organism)
Adult human male weighing less than 200 lbs. Throw food at them until the problem is remedied.

>user (Anonymous Nard Obtusely Nattering)
A noodlebuilt little wuss of a human. Hobbies include LARPing as someone who actually lifts and not posting body/lifts. Can be safely disregarded in all matters.

>SUMO (SUbhuman MOron)
Too stupid and/or genetically deficient to just bend over and pick something up. Copes through a combination of clowning half reps and eating butt.

Of course not. He's never demonstrated anything other that weapon's grade autism and a weird obsession with those of us who DO meet some of these criteria.

Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, George Strait

>training
Decline bench, landmine press, BTN rope tricep extension, pulldown, cable row.
>eating
Trying to get in my protein for once.
>listening
Hopefully the sound of my motorcycle running within a couple of hours from now.
>feeling
Tired. I was on the road for most of last week and then helped someone move yesterday. I need some time off.

How do I escape VOLEM bros?

Uhhh. Try harder?

Cringe OP. Hank is a massive fag.

Disposing Norman khan right now

It started out as slight Norman khannarhea but now the khan is less watery and droplets and logs are flowing out

>Italy quarantine lockdown
Press F for pastabros who can't go to the gym

F for the fitalians
theyll be back soon enough im sure

> Quarantining people because of a slightly more aggressive flu
This panic is dumb.

it's overhyped by the media for sure, it's just that it will become pretty widespread by the time it blows through and lots of susceptible individuals will die
quarantine makes sense because the more it can be delayed the more factors line up to ease its passing
people like to have a catastrophe to talk about

>Why yes, I do travel to high risk areas before visiting old folks homes, how did you know

Attached: c57.jpg (680x760, 66.52K)

They're not worried about susceptible individuals dying as much as they're worried about garbage health care system getting blown the fuck out (ie. not enough oxygen tank supply if risk groups end up staying long at hospital)

The disease itself seems to be a 'dud'. It's the third rate factors that would increase death (as patients with _other_ diseases would necessarily suffer as healthcare system goes over the limit)

> people like to have a catastrophe to talk about
There's way too much demand for end of the world compared to its supply.

>Tickets to Italy just got super cheap for the next year
Excellent.

>50 in Iceland infected
That's half of our population

Some kid is benching bare feet at the gym and drinking skimmed milk from a carton between sets.

Cringe; but redpilled, he will make it,
But we will wish he didn't,

He just did 5 bench sets in 5 min and switched to cables. He isn't making it.

This new information, retraction, poor soul,

You should have known when he said "skimmed" milk

>got tank, throttle, and seat back on bike
>had to fuck around with carbs and fuel stuff, but got it running
>immediately on starting, loud pop and puff of smoke from under tank
>brand new coolant leak
RIP. Probably need to replace the pump or something. At least it runs good.

They should have done that weeks ago instead of spreading it to the rest of Europe like a bunch of fucking scum.
They're just as bad as the Greeks.

Skim milk is gutter trash for uneducated soccer moms who are scared of fats.

Last night I was cooking and I put vinegar in the carbon steel pan, and fucked the seasoning. Today I was seasoning the pan again but the fucking thing spontaneously caught fire. (???) Then I made orange juice, and spilled a fair bit all over the kitchen counter.
More generally, I am feeling much more low grade retardation than usual.
Did I get the chinkypox?

>mfw I have the gym keys

>drinking milk between sets
Based
>skimmed
Extremely unbased

Lol I didn't make it either so who am I to judge. I'm so weak right now

I’m disposing a ton more Norman khan that’s borderline Norman khannarhea.. diet has been off these past few days

>Sean and Hank are both in the process of dying due to coronavirus
How can one disease be so unbelievably based

Speaking of people who didn't make it. This loser is still here.

>oly chads too busy loving life on a Saturday night to keep their general alive

hey guys, my buddy who is a competitive bodybuilder always criticizes me for hogging the squat rack. i offer a work in to anyone that's interested as long as they help pull and put plates on back. i only take about 40 minutes or an hour. he says i shouldn't be taking up the squat rack because i don't compete in powerlifting (not yet) even though i'm not a powerlifter but a weightlifter. is his logic correct? am i in the wrong? i only take up the rack for a long time for volume work once a week. ps 2RM is 180kg in case that makes my using the rack pointless. also, he does bent over rows from the safety pins on the rack, lmao.

If you dont take it, he will

No, you're not in the wrong. Your buddy's a dickhead.

Inb4 sumo

I don't know, I try my best and yet and I am at 235 kg, 85 kg, hopefully 260 kg will fall.

Your buddy is a dick and wrong. You're doing everything right, even though you don't have to let anyone else work in. 60 minutes isn't even that long for the rack.

>first time in gym in 1.5 weeks
>in Germany now
>very hungover
Thoughts on my top single @160kg
youtu.be/TBr5DnTuR8E

Unless you specifically want that depth for oly or whatever other reason, that's way too deep

Hitting a single @8 or so before worksets makes the worksets feel way lighter. Anyone else do this?

disgusting insect megathread

Fuck them lol

Managed to get 2pl8 clean and strict press lads. Feels good.

you dress and squat like exactly the kind of faggot autist who would video himself squatting 3 plates in a public gym and post it online

>belt
>knee sleeves
>for 3.5pl8
Come on now

100% raw usapl hip crease convincingly below patella purists should be gassed

Looks okay, but why the depth?
Think about how much more you could do just below parallel.

>belt
>for 3.5pl8
Weakfags should be gassed

Don't you have better things to do than get all bent out of shape about other people using belts on a Vietnamese basket-weaving forum?

Not really

Stop going so deep and they'll leave you be

yeah big guy gotta pre exhaust your core. such a good idea you fucking stupid piece of garbage. you seem like the type of guy who should be wearing a helmet 24/7

>needing a belt to lift small weights
Ngmi

>using a belt
>using a rack
>using knee sleeves
>using earphones
>using squat shoes
>using a barbell
>using both legs
>for 3.5pl8

necessity vs. preference you might wanna look into that

Perhaps you should get something better to do, then. Powerlifting isn't really a great for being the only hobby (too simple and doesn't take much time), and Yas Forums isn't really great for mental health.
Do you like working with your hands? I'm having a lot of fun working on my motorcycle.

>i need this belt
>relying on a belt
