I'm about the same height and have a very short torso, and the Inzer belt is fine. I haven't had problems with it digging into my hips or ribs.

1. Inzer wraps come in identical pairs. It's not that the wraps are both "right sided"--they just wrap in the same direction. Some companies' wraps come in pairs where one is designed for the right...

To be honest, I don't know the mechanics of it. I just found that I was stronger that way.


Ha ha, that guy is a buddy from my gym and is just trolling me 'cause I critiqued his lockout last...

Yes, it's possible. It took me maybe 1.5 years or so?

Although, I take creatine, which I'm not sure is sold at your local supermarket. =P

Training should always be moving forward and you should always be getting stronger, but not every session is going to be a definitive display of your current ability to lock out your deadlift.

You just have to experiment and see what works. It depends on your limb lengths, mobility, flexibility, joint angles, strengths, etc.

This is probably the best introduction I've seen to it:...

Can't worry too much about what others are or aren't doing. If anything, use that as motivation to improve. Hope you do the meet and learn a lot.

Why not just do the meet and get more experience on the platform? The competition experience will help you in the long run.

Don't tell us you're putting off competing until you're 'good enough to...

Cutting 20 lbs in two months at your bodyweight won't just be a 'water cut'.

Just train at a steady pace, and one day the qualifying will take care of itself.

From that video, there is no form breakdown that caused the failure. The weight was clearly too heavy.

If you're concerned about squatting too deep (I had that problem), play around with your stance. I've been able to cut depth without losing rebound by widening my stance and pointing my feet straight...

Yeah, my feet are at the plates. You have to experiment, though, and work outwards gradually so as to avoid injury/strain from going too wide too soon.

This. I have long legs, short torso, long arms, and I pull way more sumo even though the 'calculators' say I should be better conventional. I think part of it is due to my mobility and flexibility.

What about two? =P

Yeah, that makes sense, and it's how other sports do it too. If powerlifting is going to mature as a sport, you'll need that development infrastructure.

And there's four categories of masters, right?

Arian, as someone in the thick of the IPF world, do you think it's worth having the sub-junior class? Looking at the results, it doesn't seem there...

I've heard the same thing, that CPU is stricter even among the IPF affiliates.

Who has their panties in a bunch? =P

In all honesty, I do like that the sport is becoming more popular. Of course that's a good thing.

At the same time, I wonder if it's just because...

Truth. Seems like every fitness model/trainer on social media calls themselves a "powerlifter" because they train the big 3 or have done one meet.

LOL. Doesn't that powerliftingtowin guy basically say "I don't recommend Smolov"?
