/plg/ Powerlifting General

Threadly, but non-spamming, clearly relevant, specifically on topic, greatly informative, 100% sincere and not trolling, high quality, non-avatar-fagging, and otherwise rule abiding reminder for you unlifting user CHODEs to post body/lifts and get a trip, and that Jeffery Epstein didn't kill himself. This is the only way anyone will believe anything you have to say about anything. And only if you demonstrate at least one of the following:
>A squat in excess of both 2.5 times bodyweight AND 350 lbs
>A deadlift in excess of both 2.5 time bodyweight AND 350lbs
>A bench press in excess of both 1.5 times bodyweight AND 300 lbs
>A The Press in excess of both body weight AND 190 lbs
>A body that Yas Forums won't roundly criticize (good fucking luck)
If you can't manage at least one of these, shut the fuck up, go to the gym, and try harder.

Thank you.

For sure? How much does he weigh?

300lb

I thought I might have been the heaviest at 285 lb. We'll see how much I balloon up during the quarantine.

Damn you're heavy
Aiming for bloatlord status?

I really don't feel I'm that bloaty. I even run cross country from time to time. I was supposed to do a half marathon yesterday but they canceled it weeks ago so I stopped my cut. Got down to 265 before then though.

don't bully my mirror please

Do you have a side pic too?

bench press is the best gauge of RAW PHYSICAL STRENGTH. you only downplay this because you're a pudgy, weak little shit of a manlet with an equally embarrassing bench press.

nobody gives a shit that you can bounce your morbidly obese gut off of your legs for your little bullshit wide stance "squat". nobody cares about your 5 inch ROM sumo "deadlift".

bench. press. is. king.

no way. I know a bullying attempt when I see one

No retard, I'm just trying to tell how fat you are.
Okay I take that back, not trying to be mean.

You don't need a 3d model of you to see that you are fat

I'm fat enough that a side pic would be reposted with "NONONO AHAHAHAHA" in future threads.

Dude don't be so self-conscious, who's gonna make fun of you on here? Hank? Who gives a shit.

fine, but in exchange you have to advise on how to cut without losing too much strength in quarantine.

You're asking the wrong guy, I'm a little fatter than you.
The logical approach would be to cut as slowly as possible, but it's probably not smart if you can't train properly in quarantine.
I personally said fuck it and decided to do a suicide fast without any regards for muscle or strength loss since I won't be able to train anyway.

I only have 400 lbs in my garage, so I can't push all my lifts to their limit, especially deadlifts. I'm looking to do some bodybuilding work in the meantime. Can you guys recommend any bodybuilding stuff while still keeping strength up? Like, a real program. All I have is a rack, bench, barbell, ex curl bar, and 400lbs.

this. you dont look bad but you have enough fat where it's worth it to just cut like 20 lbs and start lean bulking from there

Why not order more weight?

My right arm is bigger than my left, so I've started jerking off with my left hand. Any other tips for evening things out?

It's sold out everywhere bro

> 315 with veins though, user. fuckin cookie cutter
in 6'4 though, only photo i had at peak bloat. 2k total doesn't come with a light bw at that height.

Your hips shoot up / you lose tightness. This is very evident on the third repetition. It's likely since your body isn't quite used to the intensity yet and does this. At some reps its worse than others. What do you yourself find weak?

That's some really good progress. Also physique wise, I'd keep the chest shaven. Also be kinda careful, you've done less these past 4 weeks due to corona shutdown, yet gained 1kg every one of those weeks. You're probably packing on too much useless fat atm due to lack of exercise.

Just keep hitting your triceps to grind out a bigger bench. Also 2:1 ratio tf have you been doing, squat 3-4x / week bench 1x a week (sometimes skip)?

Fuck I've never wanted to lift so badly before brehs
I miss the gym

I could give it a whirl, but I have some concerns about the sturdiness of the 3/4'' PVC pipe that comprises the handles of these "dumbbells."

Can you stop changing your trip all the time?

No.

It's fine, I just wanted to ruin your shitpost and wasn't sure what to post. I actually like the new trip.

I was limited by what I could find on the shelves on Home Depot. I BRIEFLY considered copper pipe. But I was unaware of how to make two ends of a concrete dumbbell and then stick them together with copper pipe. It was easy with PCV, I just had a few inches sticking out of each side while the concrete set, then glued them together with an S coupling in the middle.

>I was limited by what I could find on the shelves on Home Depot. I BRIEFLY considered copper pipe.
dont use copper, itll bend. there shouldn't be a difference between sticking a metal pipe/rod or a pcv pipe into the concrete mixture. maybe bonding issues? dont know why you wouldn't be able to find some steel or iron piping/rods/stakes at home depot

I've always wanted to make concrete dumbbells but I always planned to use 2" steel. I figured it'd be like setting a fence post. Every time I've had a chance to swing around the chunk of concrete from an unearthed post I can't imagine the steel coming loose.

>I figured it'd be like setting a fence post.
One end of the dumbbell is basically like that. The problem is, each end of the dumbbell resting on the ground while it sets. I guess, theoretically, one could pour one end of the dumbbell with the handle sticking out of it, wait for it to set, then pour the other end, and stick the handle bit that's sticking out of the first end into the second end. It SHOULD sit there while the other end sets.

I figured it was a LOT easier, and lacking any guessing on how long to make the damn handle, to pour each end with a few inches of pipe sticking out, then glue them together in the middle after they've set. I also glued a cap onto the end of each piece of PVC that I was sticking into the concrete, so there would be a small lip for the concrete to form around. I don't know if there was going to be any worry of the PVC slipping out, but there definitely isn't now.

>2k total
wew

how did you get your bench so good being 6'4"? I too am 6'4" but barely bench 300 lb.

I'm planning on setting one side with the whole handle in place then flipping it over and setting the other side. I think it shouldn't be too hard to prop the top up with some blocks on the edge of the whey tub I'll use as a mold. Nothing difficult about measuring the depth of the tub and the amount of handle you want exposed then adding it all up.

Please tell me you used schedule 40 PVC at least
