/plg/ Powerlifting General

Roll and stretch your ITB, so much knee pain can be caused by those little cunts.

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.

how do i increase my bench if my gym is closed, bench pasta man? I'm too poor to buy a home gym

I'll give it a try. After some googling it seems more like patellofemoral syndrome, but no point ruling out other stuff that I can work on.

Pushups with shit piled on your back.

How the Hell are you all staying built up like a fucking bear during all this?

It's only been like 3-4 weeks, and the guys here with decent gains have been trying to train however they can

I'd disagree - you start with a lower intensity % with Rippetoe. This is advanced programming we're at. Simply build up the volume for 4-5 week then taper down. TM has only one vol day, but check ADV programming.

Barbell and presses, welded up squat rack. Or more basic, lift anything that's heavy af over head.

>you start with a lower intensity % with Rippetoe
What? This is absolutely not the case. All of Rippetoes programming is high intensity low volume on average.
>This is advanced programming we're at.
That doesn't mean anything

hes talking about people built like bears not hobbits

if you can't directly press, then rowing/pulling movements will help a lot more than you think. if you can find somewhere to do dips then that's acceptable as well.

for future reference, "when in doubt, more volume" is the easiest thing to remember in order to improve your bench press.

nah, buddy. The canvas suit gym is two blocks down.

Chinkypox is just a plot to fix Social Security. Kill a bunch of old people and cause a small baby boom because people are stuck inside with nothing better to do than fuck.

I'm trying to lose weight currently (no scale, hard to say for sure) to be primed and ready for ALL DEM PH3 GAINZ when the gym reopens.

Sounds like fatal bitchitis. Better send all your weight lifting equipment to me in order to cure it desu senpai

He fucks you up, that Rippetoe.
He might not mean to, but he does.
He makes you drink a whole GOMAD
And eat four huge meals, just because.

But he was fucked up when he learned
Of doing fahves from ol' Bill Starr
And eating pizza that he earned
By loading plates onto the bar.

Man hands obesity to man
Til moobies stick out like a shelf.
Do cardio whene'er you can
And don't drink any milk yourself.

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 500 lbs
>A deadlift in excess of both 2.5 time bodyweight AND 500 lbs
>A bench press in excess of both 1.5 times bodyweight AND 350 lbs
>A The Press in excess of both body weight AND 220.462 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.

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)

How to I do front squats with a 32mil bar?

why even bother with conventional. 5pl8 was even easy after conventional 585 x3, and 4x5 deficit pulls. Build this up and then compete at the next basho

what's the problem?

Just because I like traps and futanari doesn't mean I want my lifting technique to broadcast my interest in penis.

The bar feels much less comfortable, like it barely fits on my delt

why is sumo so based but sumo DL is so cringe?

>s-sumo bad!`

because sumo wrestlers get frowned on when they cheat with a dirty dishonorable henka while powerlifters get away with cutting their already tiny 5'6 range of motion in half while making the deadlift levers more like a block pull
>t. fr without his trip

It only becomes a block pull when you use a deadlift bar.

uh oh, now you're gonna make the fat schizo retard have yet another sperg out. in b4 anime pictures/hank shit/NPC posting.

why would you deadlift without a deadlift bar?

ipf uses the same bar for each lift.

Because I don't lift in a lolfed?

It's called a deadlift bar because you deadlift with it. Would you try bench pressing without a bench?

It's called a deadlift bar because it's a bar designed to give an advantage to someone deadlifting with it. Straight bar is the way to go, deadlift bars are a joke and can bend a fuckload before the bar even breaks the ground.

>why is sumo so based
It isn't. Fatshove became irredeemably cucked and fag-pilled when their blatantly homosexual governing body banned the presence of strong, masculine beards. The only remaining sports on this fucking earth are ice hockey, Rugby Union, and golf. And leftist shills are trying their hardest to fag up hockey as well.

So based it had to come with a side of D I G I T S

>paused long enough
That lolfeddery though. Just make sure you touch your chest and don't ricochet the bar off your ribcage.

Give back those trips and take back what you said about sumo. The beard ban is not because they like fucking men as much as you, but because sumo is based heavily in tradition, and sumos did not traditionally have beards.

In conclusion fuck you

So am I based, or am I hank since all but are my posts
>Sumo is not based
>Golf is
Sumo is one of the most tradition based sports that doesn't bend to outside pressure. The sumo association chastised their rikishi when they weren't upholding honorable sumo stoicism on social media. They dont appologize for shit unless its decided it was dishonorable. They dont have pride basho either.
Using a beard to define yourself is dumb too, thats associating yourself with soiboi switch steamers that need something to look masculine.
>paused long enough
>That lolfeddery though
Thats all I meant. I have no problem with quick basically touch and go calls when its under control. Just stop long enough to halt motion.

>Give back those trips
Can't. I'm 2based2erase BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

>sumo is based heavily in tradition, and sumos did not traditionally have beards.
Sumo has existed for centuries without any ban on beards. In 2019, the sumo association on the increasingly cucked homodump island of Japan banned beards, implying they were "unsightly." And that is why their women are perpetually on the lookout for some LCP (Large Caucasian Penis desu senpai). They just can't find enough testosterone in the men of that fruitpit to satisfy their heterosexual desires.

>Sumo is one of the most tradition based sports that doesn't bend to outside pressure.
The new wave of faggy, anti-beard rules were brought on by outside pressure to change the former sport in ways to appeal to fuckwits that didn't actually contest it.

>They dont appologize for shit unless its decided it was dishonorable.
They apologized for telling women to GTFO.

>Using a beard to define yourself is dumb too, thats associating yourself with soiboi switch steamers that need something to look masculine.
>This s󠀀oyboy getting buried by the filter like a local talent jaborni
Sad! And those s󠀀oyboys are defined in their s󠀀oyboyness by their inability to look masculine, even with a beard. Beards are the true, unwavering judge of masculinity. If you can't look manly with facial hair, you're basically a woman desu fa󠀀m senpai

I mean, would I, Senpai FIGGY, be able to make posting moeshit look cool if I didn't have a thick, maintained, luxurious beard?

If the pain is at the top of the knee it might be quad tendonitis, as already suggested, sleeves to keep the knees warm, proper warm up with high volume before lifting and try focusing on the eccentric part of a lift during warm ups - squat down slow, pause, explode up, a 5-1-1 tempo perhaps.

I thought it was my patella mistracking as well at first but read up on quadriceps tendonitis as well if the pain is at the top of the knee. I also posted another reply to you

why does the retard feel the need to ruin smugposting with his god awful opinions? The point of smug anime pics is to spit out a dismissive zinger, not a fucking diatribe about your favorite flavor of cum.
