Love both but wonder how much running will mess up my pl even if I replenish kcals?

So, how do i check what muscle imbalances and tightness i have in parts of the body and how do i fix it? Simple but important question for me so please help. Thanks in advanced

I don't focus much on bench, I do it about every second week. Today I tried dropping the weights faster but I don't think it worked to well for me. Felt like I collapsed a bit at the bottom. RMjcrNJ0nvU

As the title says, I can't decide between the two. I have tried my friend's 10mm inzer lever belt on and loved it, but I think I might benefit from the 13mm even more. My current 1rm's are 385/415/230 for squat/deadlift/bench respectively, and they're going up. I plan on hitting 500 squats and...

Which do I get? Any advantages to either? Did the lever ever fail anybody? Like pop out during mid squat/deadlift? I don't see how it stays strong...I would imagine with enough pressure pushing against it it would pop open.

So this isn't a here's my squat what should I do thread, its more of a followup to an injury thread and how to plan out my next year or so of training after getting over it. A few months back I took several people's advice and swapped form low bar wide style squatting to olympic. I have enjoyed...

What do you guys think of the belt? Or any of your buddys have the belt and gave you an opinion of the belt? Before I make a purchase

I'm preparing for my first legitimate powerlifting competition in August. I'll be competing at 181, I'm about 178 right now. Bench has always been my worst lift but I'm finally starting to improve on it. 255 was a PR for me today. I do have an arch in my back but the baggy shirt hides it and...

Do you go to absolute true max every time week, once for lower and once for upper, continuing to do heavy singles until you fail? Or do you not go to true failure? I'm doing 5 3 1 right now and won't change for a long time, but I did Westside before this. I made pretty good gains on the bench...

Hi everyone! I'm competing in this UPA meet in about 2 weeks to raise money for a little girl with leukemia.. I'm nervous to say the least as its my first meet. I have a shot at breaking the UPA nat'l record for squats for juniors 148 raw. It's currently 336 right now. And I'm currently on a mini...

I'm fairly new to powerlifting, I am currently running 5/3/1 for powerlifting and was just curious if westside method would be more benifital to my goals of competing in the near future. I'm 185lbs, bench 260/dead 345/squat 250/ Milt press 150. As you can see I'm still a newbie. Any advice would be...

hey guys ...i know it isnt the best angle, but would appreciate if you were tell me if my depth was good and if I am hitting at least parallel ...just for my personal reference also any input on form would be much appreciated as well! Thanks 110 kg squat

anyone use this shirt before? i can get it cheap or i can get an Inzer Blaster im new to this. i dont know the difference. i just know the viking is 5 times more expensive. is it worth it? or just get the Blaster

Not sure what it's called but everyone's seen it, about 2" wide short pipe with a rope and a weight hanging on the bottom that your roll up. Any benefits with that in strongman..maybe grip idk. I haven't done it in a while until yesterday and my forearms were on fire
